      Into trouble? Yeah, not if I have anything to say about it.

      I don't want any arguments here, that phase of my life is behind me and not only do I dread them, my tongue is also dull and needs some sharpening.

      Wouldn't be the first time I've confronted authority. Once got into an argument with my grandfather, and he couldn't win so he just kept yelling louder. I just stood there, scared stiff underneath, but visibly calm and responded as such, which only infuriated him more. Funny, that I don't remember what the whole thing was about, only the experience itself. I think I gained more respect from him after that.

  2. Hey, welcome to BZPower! Hope you enjoy your new home.

      Rock and Stone are different?

       

      Uh... How?

    3. Ghidora131

      Ghidora131

      I mean, I can see Rock being singular and Stone being a large, undisturbed quantity - but I can see it the other way around, too.

      The one where this teenager human falls in love with an autobot after he/it saved her, and the many moments of laughable awkwardness from forced dates that came afterwards. the entire time I was all like, "Is this for real?!" xD

  4. The day is closing, and I feel I need to come out and say something I've been needing to say for a while. ...I like coffee. No, I love it. Everything bad I've ever said about coffee, was a way to strengthen myself and my feelings. Well, I don't need to hide anymore! I AM AN AVID COFFEE DRINKER!!

  7. With there going to be a Star Wars movie each year now, is anyone else afraid that the magic will vanish and it will become tiresome, like Marvel movies?

      The Hip Historian Iaredios

      Personal theory of mine: What the other movies had was more cosmic conflict that is rooted in the legends and myths that inspired Star Wars. The Force Awakens just feels shallow compared to the previous six. It makes no apparent call back to stories that touch the heart, instead it is self-referential, being Star Wars and harking back to Star Wars.

    3. The Hip Historian Iaredios

      The Hip Historian Iaredios

      Also, another theory of mine: The Prequel Trilogy is sometimes over the top because it is a romanticized recording of history meant to be performed in a play or an opera (or a space opera...)

    4. Erasmus Graves

      Erasmus Graves

      That theory's probably true. Someone ought to ring up George Lucas and get it confirmed.

      Can't deny that. Bach was the true master of polyphony, and he blended all these different rhythms and melodies into one incredible river of sound.

    4. The Hip Historian Iaredios

      The Hip Historian Iaredios

      While I enjoy Carolus Rex and the eponymous King Charles 12th of the Swedish Empire makes for an epic read, the only two things that and Bach have in common is that they both lived around the same time and they lived on the same continent. While one made great music and met powerful rulers, the other spent his entire life, from 15 years of age until death, fighting in never-ending warfare, the Great Northern War, and used superior brainwashed soldiers called the Caroleans.

  11. So I have been on this site for about a decade now. I began as Tahuzilla and Takadox01, the most original names in existence, and Bionicle felt like it was going to last forever. Sprite and image shops filled the appropriate forum and the comedies sucked. Honestly feels like ancient history, and yet just yesterday.

  12. My tooth is fixed. Yay. Now with the money spent on that, my dog's recent illness has gotten to the point that he is proposing to kill her. She could have gotten treatment had we not spent our money one the dental operation. Life sucks sometimes...

      In the end, we are only records in dusty papyrus for the future generations to study and learn from, or things turned from fact into legend and into myth-- or at least in this life. ;) In the large-scale of things, only things that will be taught are the highlights of Presidential Administrations, with a thick coat of propaganda of course. I'll help my kids learn the truth of the world and it's past.

    3. The Hip Historian Iaredios

      The Hip Historian Iaredios

      Always amazes me how people deafen themselves to the screams of the present which echo from the past, then beg questions as to why things are the way they are. They try to solve things without understanding the full picture, which as lengthy as it is history is bountiful in it's lessons. ...Not to mention you have plenty of interesting reads. xD

    4. Ghidora131

      Ghidora131

      And, with all the stuff going on behind-the-scenes, it's nowhere near surprising.

  14. Small rant: Why do people capitalize the word 'gods'? People capitalize the word god when referring to the powerful, sentient being of the Judeo-Christian spirituality because it is a title in place of a name (which you capitalize), not some member of a race or species. We don't capitalize 'humans', 'cats' or 'ducks' all the time, do we? The English Language isn't Wookiepedia. :P I just feel like it's passive-agressive wording.

      I can relate. Both you, Ghidora, and you. Iaredios. If I recal correctly, I do believe that when I first got Axonn, and is also got Jaller along sdie him, I built them both in a restaurant I and my family where going to for dinner. (I believe it was a greek diner, we have a lot of those on the east coast) and long story short, 'bout a year to six month's later, I mutalated Jaller's mask... Why? I was a crazy kid. And as to what happened to Axonn? I think I disassembled him, and so...

      By u'nnecessary detailing' I meant me texturing the terrain. Though, I am sure in some plsces such detailing is necessary. Such as the ares where the Battle of Bara Magna took place. Land roughed up, brought up, impacted down, cratored, ect. It also allows me to shape an area to falls off in a larger stepped decline, like perhaps the Lake Lands are much lower down than the northern continental plate which Neala rests on, be it though that it would be gradual in some places and steeper...

      Thanks Ghidora. It all went great! My tooth is adjusting, but I should be ahving no more pain. And I got so happy to see in the mirror that there was no big hole in it anymore. :D I have a couple fo other teeth with large holes, one definitely needs a root canal, then another needs to be fixed quickly before it gets to that point. But never mind those right now, right now I am happy that I will get to chew peacefully after the temp. crown gets replaced with the real deal.

    3. Ghidora131

      Ghidora131

      Good! Now, going under wasn't so hard, was it? I've had several surgeries before, although none dental, and it's a lot less terrifying that I anticipated. Hopefully your other teeth will be able to be fixed as well.

    4. The Hip Historian Iaredios

      The Hip Historian Iaredios

      Apparently I was there for 4 and a half hours, but it all felt just like less then a single hour. Only painful parts where when the dentist would try to rest some of his tools on my bottom front teeth and he instead would accidentally pinch my lip, but I'll take that any day over all the other stuff i am used to. I'm so familiar to dental stuff I think I should probably get into the business. Maybe make crowns or something... People make big bucks for doing that.
