    Saying Goodbye...

    By Reznas,

    Well, guys, it's been a wonderful six years on BZPower. I've met so many wonderful people, had so many great discussions and gotten to share art and ideas. I'm so glad I could be a part of the community. But I think it's time I say farewell. My interests have changed over the years, and while I will always have a place for Bionicle in my heart (gosh, thinking of the memories I've had on this site and the nostalgia that [1st gen] Bionicle brings makes me want to cry), I've moved on to new things. I wish you all well and will miss being a part of such a great community and a great forum. I may come back every so often to see what's up, but for the most part, this is my last leg of the BZPower journey.

    Interesting Finding...

    By Reznas,

    So I searched my name on tumblr, and I saw someone asking the question of why I end all of my blog titles with ellipses. Actually made me kind of laugh, because there really isn't much of a reason for it. It's really just a habit, and I desperately need repetition, so once I started ending titles with ellipses, I couldn't bring myself to post an entry with a title lacking them. Just thought I'd mention this, because it seriously did make me laugh.

    Poetry...

    By Reznas,

    So I've been writing some poetry lately, and I have two poems I thought were worth sharing on BZP. I'm generally pretty hesitant to post any of my writings, because I'm an extreme perfectionist; but I figured I'd see what you guys think. And maybe I can even start posting poetry more regularly.

    My Light
     
    The sun, the moon and stars combined, don't even compare to the light that shines, that pierces, deep into my heart.
    The light that radiates, that captivates, that enchants my soul.
    The light that fills my dreams at night, never leaving my thoughts, nor mind.
    This light that brightens everything around me, that illuminates my world.
    How could it be that such a light would know me—
    Me, an undeserving man, so blessed beyond words.

    Love So Sweet
     
    Precious words so gently spoken,
    To such a simple man so lost and broken;
    To her he gives his only token,
    Of love so tender and outspoken,
    Of love so sweet.
     
    One of billions of grains of sand,
    Goes off to a distant, faraway land.
    People laugh and shake their heads—
    They laugh at me for dreaming yet,
    Of the grain of sand in a distant, faraway land.
     
    The clock has frozen, time stands still;
    I sit beside the window sill.
    No chance to cry, no chance until,
    Time thaws the frost that holds it still.
    I sit unmoving beside the window sill.
     
    Forgotten songs of timeless light,
    So kind, so pure, so full and bright,
    Remembered from a time before,
    Of love so tender and outspoken,
    Of love so sweet.

    Tell me what you guys think. I'd really love feedback!

    Spelling and Grammar...

    By Reznas,

    Seriously, all these posts telling people to work on their grammar and spelling are incredibly disrespectful and unnecessary, and to be honest, kind of annoying. No one on BZPower, or on the internet, for that matter, is obligated to use perfect speech. If that were a requirement, no one would use the internet. No one is perfect. I don't understand why people find the need to be grammar nazis and humiliate users for not writing "properly".

    Ukraine...

    By Reznas,

    I don't know how many of you have heard, but a Malaysian passenger liner was just shot down over Ukraine by, presumably, pro-Russian separatists. I'm not sure how many of you know that I lived in Ukraine for over half of my life, but this is really tough for me to hear. It's already been hard enough learning that some of our Ukrainian friends have fled Donetsk, Ukraine, where we used to live. Donetsk is the epicenter of the pro-Russian rebellion, by the way. Anyway, because of this incidence, we're starting to wonder if we'll ever be able to return to Russia. It's really sad for my family and me, because we have so many friends in Russia and Ukraine, and we're torn apart.

    I feel special having more posts than bonesiii today. He is the master of posting, after all.
     
    But I have a feeling that in the next couple of hours my reign as top poster today will vanish.

    I doubt it. It honestly wouldn't be a smart business decision on LEGO's part. Not only would it ruin HF sales, if not other theme sales, but one has to ask the question of whether or not the return of the theme would actually bring in that much revenue at all. A recycled series is not going to bring in the same profit that it used to. If I were LEGO, I would allocate my resources towards other themes. If Bionicle ever returned, it would be much better off to return years and years from now, when most have forgotten about the series, and the new generation can better get involved.

    I just finished the Harry Potter movie series. All eight of them in 3-4 days. I had never watched any of them but the first up until now, so it was quite the experience. Those movies were by far some of the best I have seen in my life. And now I'm left in this limbo sort of state, where I'm incredibly sad I won't be able to see any more movies. I got so attached to the characters, and I wanted to see more. I'm depressed.

    Back...

    By Reznas,

    And better than ever. Finally made it to Colorado on Sunday night. We had a 26 hour travel day--all on Sunday.
     
    On the first flight, from Moscow to NY, I watched about 5 movies: Ender's Game, Thor: The Dark World, Frozen, The LEGO Movie and part of Despicable Me 2.
     
    Ender's Game was a really great movie. I liked the concept, sort of, but it was kind of like most other alien movies? The basic plot: either the earth or the aliens need resources, so they go to another planet to get them and go to war against each other. In the end, the movie tries to make you feel bad for the aliens and makes the world out to be the bad guys. That's basically how Ender's Game was.
     
    Thor 2 was an amazing movie. Probably my favorite of the mix.
     
    Frozen was surprising a very nice movie as well. I hated the music, like I expected I would. But the animation was great, and the plot was semi-okay (Tangled was better plot-wise).
     
    The LEGO Movie was a nice movie as well. Not my favorite movie ever, but it gave me a lot of good laughs. I was genuinely happy to see Will Ferrell in the movie.
     
    Despicable Me 2 was good from what I saw. It was funny as was the first.

    Wow...

    By Reznas,

    All I have to do is play a song at 30% volume on my laptop (with earphones), and it legitimately hurts to listen for too long. It's probably because my ears are kind of sensitive right now. Yesterday I spent an hour on the metro listening to music, which meant I had to blast the volume to like 80% on my iPod to hear the music over the loud screeches of the metro. Then I spent hours last night working on some Trance music (at 30% with these same earphones). Regardless, the sound on this laptop is too good sometimes. Without earphones, it lacks so much bass (the sub-woofer in this laptop might be broken :\), but it still has really good volume control.

    So I thought I might share the some of the classes (the classes I'll enjoy =P) I'll take throughout high school (just for fun, not that anyone will care xP):
     
    Sophomore year (10th grade):
     
    Math: Honors Algebra 2 (Basically pre-AP Algebra 2)
    Science: Advanced Biology (Not a big fan of biology, but I figure an advanced course might do me some good)
    English: American Literature
     
    Junior year (11th grade):
     
    Math: Pre-AP Pre-Calculus (=D)
    Science: Pre-AP Physics
    English: British Literature
     
    [by now I'll have enough credits to graduate, but I won't]
     
    Senior year (12th grade):
     
    Math: Either AP Calculus or a college calculus class (college calculus class means dual credits and is probably a better class)
    Science: Either AP Physics or a college physics class (^same applies^)
    English: Probably AP Literature and Composition, but maybe a college class (^same applies^)
     
    College:
     
    -A degree in Music Composition, with a possible minor in Audio Engineering
    -Some kind of physics degree (I need to decide which branch I would like to get into. That's something I'll have to decide later on.)
