As most of you know, my Birthday is on Wednesday, but I got my present from my parents today. First off, you should know that on Monday, I have to go to Beulah (30 miles north) as soon as school's out and play pep-band for four different basketball games (districts), and then get home at about 10:30 that night. Although I enjoy playing pep-band, I am not excited about spending 7 hours with nothing but basketball games (which I don't really enjoy watching). When I complained to my dad yesterda
I've been playing Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Armada 2 a lot lately on my computer. I've had those games for a long time, and I love both of them a lot. Have any of you ever played either of those? I realize that they may be a couple of years old, but I'm an expert at both of them, so if you wanted help, or just wanted a bit of advice, feel free to ask.
STA & STA2 FTW!
...visualize a member's physical appearance and personality by the pictures in their banner or avatar? I find that if a member has a picture of a person at all in either their banner or av, I sometimes (subconsciously) picture the member (and whatever he/she's saying) as that person.
Do you do that?
I was messing around with some thoughts I had for custom titan designs, and this is the result. Note that I wanted it to look bulky, and I think all the tubes look awesome. There's really nothing else to be said about it, as I was just experimenting.
Totally cool custom titan.

Well?
Any thoughts are welcome, and full reviews are awesome.
If my sources are correct, the upcoming Lunar Eclipse is the very last one until December 20th .................... of 2010.

As a part of another English assignment that we have, we are going to watch War of the Worlds and read the play. Afterwards, we will be divided into groups of three people and will have to record radio broadcasts (not actually broadcasted by radio) about how aliens have invaded Earth, etc. Originally, we would have to use a recorder that our band instructor has to make the recordings, and then add sound effects using a computer, but I found out that I can actually do so on my dad's Mac with Ga
It's been a while since I've posted a set review of any kind, but I got Vamprah yesterday, and I'm impressed. This is by no means a full review, as I don't even have any pictures yet, but I'm sure all of you have seen the official review of Vamprah by now, so you all know what he looks like inside and out. I got Vamprah not so much because of the set, but rather because of his awesome MOCing capabilities. There are so many parts that he has that can be so useful for MOCing. First, there are
Currently doing a massive research paper on the entire history of BIONICLE for English class. It's challenging, but it's always fun to learn about the history of something you like. In other news, if any of you have Photok, can you let me know if it's worth getting or not? Same with Vamprah.
Hey there! It's Sunday, and as many of you are probably tired of hearing (sarcasm, I hope); it's once again time for the infamous MOC of the Week! This week will be the last MOC of the week for a while, as I'm beginning to get kinda busy, and if I keep on doing it every week, I'll run out of people to feature . I'm really happy with this week's winner though, as the MOC is incredibly good. Who's is it? Well, it's Tahu Nuva 2008 by Kopakalaka! It wins by very obvious reasons... awesome cus
I'm so excited for the upcoming total Lunar Eclipse next month. It'll start sometime around 7:30 PM (Central Time) and totality will begin at precisely 9 PM. This event will be visible to all of North America.
*waits impatiently*
January is already over halfway gone, and the 2008 BIONICLE sets are in stock almost everywhere. This excites me, as I know that many of the MOCs now include some of the awesome new parts released for the first time this year. I didn't see any of the new pieces on this week's winning MOC, but it's bley, has Krana, and is full of win. Guess what it is? It's Su'caryth by Anathame! Su'caryth wins by a landslide this week, as even the quickest glance at it gives you an eyeful of awesome bley, a
GarageBand FTW!
Who knows what I'm talking about? Anyway, when I finish my song, I'll post it for you. Also, I'll try to have two vids of my pep-band night up soon too.
Well, I've been a member of BZP for an entire year now, and I've got to say that I truly didn't experience life until I joined. According to the server here, I joined Jan 16 2007 at 04:42 PM (central time). And it is now 04:41 PM (also central time). I realize a Vahi may not be very much to some of you, but it means a lot to me. I'd like to thank all of the great staff members all around BZP that make it the amazingly enjoyable place that it is. I also thank all my friends here who have m
And I'll try to get a couple of videos up for you nice people to watch and critique.
Oh, and normally, we have 5 drummers sharing 2 sets, so we all have to take turns and I don't get to play very much , but tonight, it's only gonna be two of us drummers, so I can stay on the whole time.
'Tis Sunday again, and I can't help but be amazed at how quickly the school year is going by. The first semester of my school ended Friday, and tomorrow marks the beginning of the second semester. I'm sure that most of you also have noticed the speed at which the school year has gone by (not to mention 2007 period). Today also marks the twelfth week of the MOC of the Week contest, who's winner happens to be ~Blue Diamond~ with his MOC Toa Tuyet! ~Blue Diamond~'s MOC wins because of it's incr
That's right, so many other people have made their own awards, I finally decided to do so myself. If you deserve any of them, comment here to say which you are taking, and feel free to take them, but if you don't deserve them, don't take them; it's as simple as that. These awards are fashioned after the comm badges on Star Trek Voyager. I call them Astronomy Awards, and they are full of win.

Not literally, but that (by a slightly different name) happens to be my favorite song to play for Pep-band.
I asked my dad to record a video of me playing for it, and he did. It has been posted on Google Video, and I'm about to give you the link to it. First, however, I request that you read the following.
First off, let me say that this was our first Pep-band performance since school started, so I was a little rusty. Also, the bumble-heads (not really, as I know they just didn't rememb
Somebody rated my blog really low, and the rating dropped by .2 . Oh well, for a couple of days, I had the highest rated blog in the entire blog community. Thanks to all those who helped me achieve that! *sniff* This blog is dedicated to all my faithful readers. *sniff sniff* [/sadness]

'Tis the first Sunday of the new year, and along with it comes the much anticipated (I wish) MOC of the Week contest. I must say that I was especially impressed with the MOC that I picked as winner for this week, as it is much better than anything that I could ever do. In fact, I've come to expect such great work from this BZP member, as every time he makes something, it comes out perfectly. This week's winner is none other than CzaR, with his MOC; Exodus! The colors used are awesome, the cu
I've taken an interest in Avatar: The Last Airbender lately. I had already seen a couple of the early episodes, but the storyline didn't really interest me (when I get into something, it's usually because of the storyline; hence why I like BIONICLE). However, over the past few weeks I've been watching Avatar on Friday nights (Saturday morning, actually) from midnight to 1 AM, and in seeing some of the Book 2 and Book 3 episodes, I realized that the story is actually a lot better than I had ori
Here it is... the moment everyone has been waiting for... the Final Polls. There was a tie in one of the Semi-final Polls, so both of the entries advanced to this round. Because of this, there are 4 entries to vote for, but you can only vote for one...

Ok, as can be seen in the Preliminary Polls, the final tallies have been marked, and the winners of each round are shown. The top three (I know I said two before, but two wouldn't work out the way I wanted it to) spots in each Poll have advanced to the Semi-final Poll, but only the winner of each Semi-final Poll will advance to the Final Poll. As was done in the Preliminaries, the spots for each MOC was random.
