Yes, that's right, it's the return of the regular (non-special edition) and original MOC of the Week! Most of you have been waiting very patiently for this moment, so I won't drag on in an attempt to waste time. This week's winner is: .:Toa Velox:. with his Evil Self-MOC! It wins because of awesome customness, great colors (and mask, my personal favorite ), and overall great design! Congratulations .:Toa Velox:., very nice work! To everyone else, keep MOCing, as you may be the next winner
What a week, oh boy. Had a field trip to Bismarck today... we visited the capitol building and sat in on the meetings of the Senate and House of Representatives. I was able to sit on the House floor next to Representative Mike Schatz (who's from my district). I was able to talk with him for quite a while, and every time a vote was called, he told me how he was going to vote, and I got to push the switch that counted as his vote! So many awesome things went on, and I'm going to try to registe
I just got done playing Laser Tag at a water park and it was awesome! I played with a bunch of other people, and I whipped them, BAD! Out of 10 people, I took first place with 37 kills in a 7 minute 30 second round, and I only died 4 times. The arena we were in was really cool too. It was about 100 feet by 200 feet, and it was pitch black, except for a few blacklights. There were walls, mirrors, and fog machines too. I already want to go back again!
Entries and Updates will begin tomorrow, but what should you expect?
Tomorrow I shall post basic astronomy for the next month, and celestial events for July and August
If you have any sets that I should review, PM me and I'll review them for you. Questions about astronomy, space, celestial events? Ask in either a comment or by PMing me. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, I'll be able to answer your question. Also, if you want to be in my PBZP, comment or PM me and I'll see what I can
'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
~Laughin'Man~ just PMed me not to long ago asking if it was allowed to make suggestions about the winner of the MOC of the Week. I hadn't ever thought of it, but I think it's a great idea! The final decision will still be up to me, but if you think somebody's MOC should win, PM me with a link to the MOC's topic and a short description of why you think it should be declared winner. Your name(s) will then be mentioned (if your suggestion wins) in that MOC of the Week blog entry.

You know, it's been a long time since I've posted an astronomy update of some sort, but I just got my Astronomy Magazine the other day, so I'll have a bunch of stuff up soon.
I also haven't done any set reviews for a while either, but I'm kinda short on time anyway. Mostly because of school, my banner shop, and a whole bunch of PBZP's I've done and I need to do.
Also, I'm researching colleges too, and I'm not so sure which one to go to. And I'm looking for job opportunities too.

I've got about 50 seconds completed of my 5th GarageBand song, and I think I'll give you a link to it...
Enjoy.
Please be sure to tell me what you think.

The other day, my computer was infected by 2 spyware programs and 4 Trojan Horse viruses. This event happened when I downloaded an Active X Control off of the internet. Active X Controls are usually harmless, but this one was infected all the way through. I request that you be cautious whenever downloading anything from the internet, no matter how reputable the company is. Also, never, and I say again, never download any anti-virus or anti-spyware software, because usually, these are also in
Unfortunately, something just came up literally 5 seconds ago that is going to have me away from home for most of today. Those of you with contest prizes; the prizes will be given to you as soon as possible, and MOCotW will be up late tonight.

Time has once again come for the MOC of the Week. I regret to tell you that there won't be a 2008 Astronomy month posted today. I've been much too busy. In fact, I barely have time to get this MOC of the Week up, so I'll try to make this one fast. This week's winner is... Awesome^Infinity and his MOC; Tribute to a Hero! This revamp of Matoro Mahri is amazing to me. The legs may not be custom, but the body and arms are expertly crafted, and give an almost human look to the Toa of Ice. The
Well, Youth Convention is over, and it was absolutely incredible. I had so much fun, it's not even funny. I'm working on MOCotW a little now, and it should be up at/by 6 PM Central time.
In the meantime, I'd like to remind you once again to buy a copy of Epic Journey, just because it's that cool.
Argy
Epic Journey is released! If you'd like to order a copy, head over here and fill out the form!
So much work and so much of my life spent in the CD, and it's an awesome feeling to finally finish it. Pictures and the such will be added in the next few days.

The Unofficial Nocturn Review
When I go to a department store to buy a new Lego set, I use the box to determine which one to buy. Nocturn's box impressed me greatly.
Here's the front. Front
And here's the back. Back
There's a Toa Mahri teaser of some sort on the back as well. Can you find it? Look at the shadowy figures in the lower-right; it's Kongu, Hahli, and Nuparu.
Building Nocturn was very easy. The instructions are pretty straight forward, and the overall design isn't too
Now that I have your attention, I'd like to ask a question.
I'm thinking about renaming my blog. What should I name it? If you want, comment with your title and subtitle suggestions. Whoever's title entry I pick gets an awesome banner of their choice from my shop, and a place in my PBZP, even if the letter is taken. Alright, with that said... On your marks, get set, comment!
And... I'm pretty sure I know what the BZP April Fool's Day prank is.
Seriously.
No, this entry is not a prank. I swear.
And to quote a good friend, the prank is LOVELY.
Yipp-Arrrgghhh!
I have been receiving emails of late indicating new blog entries from a number of old friends here on BZP. Apparently the blogging system just returned after a lengthy hiatus? It has been years since I've visited the forums, but I've never forgotten all the fun I had as a part of this community. I am still alive, and I would enjoy reconnecting with anyone who remembers me from quite literally a decade ago! My absence over the last 10 years can largely be explained by school. I began my fres
Tis the end of the year, only one more day of 2007 left, and I hope that this year has been as good to you as it has been (for the most part) for me. As today is Sunday, it's time for the MOC of the Week. I don't know how popular this is with you readers, as these MOCotW entries don't get many comments, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and keep doing these anyway. What's that? You want to know the winner? Well, this week's winner is the Blog Assistant Shine; with his totally aweso
