I'll wait for the sets to come out to decide on that. I ask myself that very often. I spend most of my BZP time moderating my seven forums. And I forget. Lack of motivation. No, you're just a rat in a cage. =D Despite of my rage? You're still just a rat in a cage.

Haha, okie. Any song suggestions? Listen to some of their more popular singles and tell me what you like. Then I can recommend some of their lesser-known songs/albums. I only actually own copies of Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but I have every single album and song they've recorded on my computer. Or at least I think... It's several gigs.

No, you're just a rat in a cage. =D Oddly enough, not really. The Harry Potter series brought me great joy throughout my childhood. I still need to read the last book though.

For a long time (pretty much forever), that changed day to day. But I think it's safe to say now that my favorite band of all time is The Smashing Pumpkins.

So, I've abandoned this thing again. I really want to start using it. I haven't had one of those things were members get to ask me questions and I answer them. So this entry will do just that. Ask away!

I just watched several dozen videos on how to tie a tie. And I still can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

This is all very true, Scorps. Very true.

Sounds awesome. Have fun!

You can change that. You really can.

Yay! =D

You guys are TERRIBLE GUESSERS. Haha! You don't get the inside joke!

Today was one of the best days. Ever.

You must have been high~ Haha!

Lol, you definitely can't go without insurance. Far too many drivers out there that lack a brain. Sure, you may be a safe driver, but you can't control any of the other cars on the road -- only your own.

Uggghh. That makes me feel really bad. Hopefully you got your money's worth out of it? Oh, and I searched my computer for said essay, and it was my sister's. So no, I don't need it.

Well, I was randomly browsing this site, like I do time to time. Except this time, I found this one store that seemed to have MOCing essentials for the Technic builder. Alas, I was sucked in like a kid in a candy store. I browsed for well over an hour, accumulating over 600 Lego parts totaling $91.78. Originally, I had much more -- $176 worth. I went through my order and took out some things to make it slightly more economical. Here's a list of the parts I ordered. (I'll be sure to take a few pictures when I receive the loot.) With shipping and everything, I estimate my total will be around $100. I haven't received the invoice from the store owner yet, so I don't know exactly how much my total will be. So I spent $100 on Lego. I spent $100 on Lego. One hundred dollars. On Lego. --Kex

Over the last few days, as you've probably noticed, Brickshelf and Maj have been having extended periods of unexplained downtime. It's become apparent that Brickshelf and Maj are no longer reliable sites to host your images at. The unfortunate thing about this is how the Lego community as a whole has used Brickshelf to host their Lego images -- it didn't matter who you were, what site you visited... everyone used Brickshelf. I'm sure you've heard all about this already. Now, the issue is: How will BZPower cope with the loss of Brickshelf? Well, that's easy. I'm sure the admins are looking for some sort of feature that can be added on BZP to help. There are also plenty of other places to upload your images out there. Personally, I would suggest looking into Photobucket or Flickr. When entering a BBC Contest, I would highly recommend NOT using Brickshelf or Maj! If the sites go down during the polls, members will not be able to view your entry. Please take this into consideration. --Kex

Well, that's a bummer. But at least you got a cool bookmark.

I need someone to make me a sprite. A Pokemon trainer sprite. Of me. For the BZPFL. I'm thinking something like this, except as a guy. I don't want to go into specifics so I don't make things too complicated. I'll leave the details to the artist. You can PM/IM/e-mail me any questions or anything. Thank you. --Kex

Natural Life - Breaking Benjamin Hold still All of my life All of my time I don't wanna come back around tonight And all that I need Is serenity I don't wanna feel your new disease The natural life You're born, you die The natural life You're wrong, you're right The natural life You're born, you die The natural life's a lie All of my lies Swallow your pride I don't wanna come back around tonight And all that I need Is serenity I don't wanna feel your new disease The natural life You're born, you die The natural life You're wrong, you're right The natural life You're born, you die The natural life's a lie RIGHT! You're right I can never lie Let me go Try to find a home I can't wait Try to stay awake Dead inside Bothered by the lie You're right The natural life You're born, you die The natural life You're wrong, you're right The natural life You're born, you die The natural life's a lie A lie... This is the song I try to base my life off of. "You're born, you die..." All there really is a beginning and an end... It's what happens in between that makes up your life. Your emotions and your personality make the natural life a lie. That said, the lyrics should make a lot more sense and the awesomeness should be more apparent. I've listened to this song so many times, and I get something new out of it every time. It can be interpreted in so many different ways, and you really have to listen to it and decide for yourself. I named my blog after this song some time ago. It fits so perfectly, and now you see why. --Kex

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. If you think you look fat, you probably do. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine . . . Really. 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round is a shape. Yes, they are all numbered '1' on purpose. No, I did not write this, but I thought it was hilarious. Thank you, and please remember to follow all the rules. --Kex

I will always enjoy and find time for LEGO. Habitual routines that are also fun aren't likely to end. I have BZPower pride. You guys are awesome. --Kex
