    Back On Top!

    By Akano,

    I was just at another competition, and I placed second in Entomology! I'm back on top!
     
    "But, Akano, second isn't on top. It's next to on top!"
     
    Yes, but the people I lost to were from the team whose coach wrote the test!
     
    The test was completely biased too. Who needs to know famous entomologists for an event in which you identify and cover basic knowledge on insects? Entomologists are people, not insects!
     
    That aside, my weekend's been great, and I get tomorrow off due to President's Day.
     
    Also, my 100th comic is coming up soon. I'm trying to make it a big comic and fill it with my old guest stars. More details in my comic topic.
     
    Now that I can't think of anything to say, I end this entry.
     
    But, first, a wise word from the "MOO" Obsesser. ©
     
    Scarabaeidae!

    Recent News From The Toe

    By Akano,

    Yep, that's right. I'm angry. Why, you ask? Well, it has to do with my most recently released comic, Comic 99.
     
    See, last Saturday was the first Science Olympiad Invitational competition for 2007. I was all ready to take on the Entomology (insects) test and take home the gold. My partner and I did, what we thought was, very well. We didn't know a few questions, but we had confidence in most of them. We had to have placed in the top 6th — we placed 15th!
     
    I was in shock, awe, and anger. We felt gipped, because we'd been the State champs last year, we know our stuff. We took a look at the test on the bus ride home, and we found that we made a HUGE mistake — we put the families and orders in the wrong answer blanks.
     
    We were furious at this mistake. When we can, my partner and I are going to figure out what we would've gotten had that mistake not happened and what place we would've received.
     
    At least it was an invitational. Hopefully things will look up.
     
    On the bright side, my 100th comic is just one slot away. I want to try to do something really good for it, but I don't know what. It'll probably be a sprite comic, hopefully a long one at that.
     
    Also, as you may have noticed, I have joined the Star Wars fad thingy. This is one of those fads that I don't mind joining, actually, since I am a fan of Star Wars and have a favorite character.
     
    And, let's just face it. Xextos rule.

    I got back from a concert a couple hours ago, this time our "winter" concert. Yes, we just had a Christmas concert, but we played completely new songs. Our Jazz band, Symphonic band, and Wind Ensemble played at the concert, and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. I had a numerous amount of solos, and people told me I played them pretty well. ^^;
     
    Also, new comic up, based on the premier of 24, the most amazing TV show ever! ^^
     
    I'm also trying to come up with a new comic idea, waiting for that inspiration to smack me in the face. Enjoy it, everyone!

    Concert And Comics

    By Akano,

    Okay, I just came out with a new comic and no one has seemed to notice, so I'm going to redirect people to my comics topic to check it out. It incorporates that new idea I said I had earlier. The new idea was HAND DRAWN COMICNESS!
     
    My CGing skills haven't developed to the point that I could CG in two days and have it out, so for now the comic is just a sketch. I'll try to improve that aspect, though. Hope you all enjoy it!
     
    Also, I had a band concert on Monday that was with both band and choir as a Christmas concert. I must say, it was quite amazing. No, not the choir part, our part. Out of all the groups — Concert Choir, Symphonic Chorale, Show Choir, and Wind Ensemble — the Wind Ensemble was the only group to get a standing ovation. Boo-yah! I even had a solo at the end of Sleigh Ride for my trumpet — I made a horse-whinney sound. ^^;
     
    The crowd seemed to love it, though, and they loved when we played Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24." That earned us our standing ovation.
     
    The Concert Choir was terrible, though. And the choirs got to do more songs than the band. But, we're still the crowd favorite. ^^
     
    And now, as usual, a physics equation. I know you've all waited for this.
     
    For uniform circular motion, ΣF = mv²/r, where ΣF is the sum of the forces acting on the plane of the circle, m is mass of the object in motion, v is its velocity or speed, and r is the length of the radius.
     
    Of course, you could also say that v²/r = a, where a is centripital acceleration, bringing us back to ΣF = ma. ^^

    Mwee And Stuff

    By Akano,

    Hey, guys. Just wanted to let you all know that I've made a new topic. Basically, I'm rewriting Inventor of Metru Nui and I've made a new topic of it which you can find here. I'd like feedback on it, since I'm trying to revamp the old story with whatever skills I've gained since writing the original.
     
    In other news, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and hopefully I'll not be lazy and deliver you a comic by then.
     
    With that, I leave you another lovely Physics equation. ^^
     
    ΣF=ma

    Minish, Minish...

    By Akano,

    Yes, I am totally obsessed with Legend of Zelda at this moment in time. Especially Minish Cap. And Majora's Mask. Why? Because I am. 8D
     
    Oh, and if you want proof, head on over to my comic topic and see the latest comic. ^^
     
    Oh, also, I have a new chapter up for My Transformation Part II, and I'd appreciate posts with feedback on it. I want to know how my writing skills/lack there of are turning out. Thanks. ^^;
     
    Hmm...what else to talk about? Well, I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles, and I must say it's a very good book. It's for an English book report, due Monday. Blargh. I hate book reports. vv;
     
    Well, that's all for now. As per some kind of tradition, I'm going to leave you with a physics equation. ^^
     
    x(t)=x+vt+½at²
     
    x'(t)=v(t)=v+at

    Happy Halloween!

    By Akano,

    Yup, Hallow's Eve has come and gone. I had a blast, and once again dressed as Mario. Expect a comic this weekend about it or something (I hope...). Today we had a marching band concert. It felt really weird to play our music sitting down... Had I been standing up, I could've played so much better. I can't get a good posture in those dang metal chairs...
     
    Anywho, thanks to the divine grace of our team making it to playoffs, marching band season lives on for another week! W00teh! And for my senior year, that's great news. I don't want it to be over yet. I'm so happy. ^^
     
    Ah, when you thought life couldn't get any better...except I have a Jazz Orchestra audition tomorrow. I hope I do well...the piece is kind of hard. >>;
     
    Those are my blurbs for this week. Oh, I'll leave you all with this lovely Lewis Dot Model

    YAYZ FOR AP CHEMISTRY!

    Sick Again...

    By Akano,

    I swear, this is ridiculous. Yesterday, I felt great, now I'm sitting at home wrapped in a blanket dealing with sore muscles, sore throat, and a headache.
     
    And I'm really tired.
     
    Ooh, but listening to Glenn Beck heals it a bit. ^^

    Barely alive! Mwee! *flop*
     
    Yeah, senior year has hit me like a ton of bricks. BTW, never try getting hit by a ton of bricks. You tend to break body parts.
     
    And I've noticed some of you *coughToMcough* have been thinking that my reason for lack of comic output is the new idea I have. Trust me, I haven't even started that yet. The real reason is lack of time and inspiration. You could call it artist's/writer's block, I guess.
     
    But, I hope to get a new comic up before I die of overlearning.
     
    If you want a sample of what I'm learning in school, here's what we did in Physics today and yesterday:
     
    You are given a ramp, a ball bearing (golf ball) and a flat surface. You rest the ramp at an angle so that the edge of the ramp meets the flat surface before the edge, so it looks like this:
     
    \
    _\_
     
    __________ <---- Floor
     
    Now, you roll the ball down the ramp and watch it hit the floor. Without marking where the ball bounces on the ground, you must calculate when the ball will hit the ground and how far away from the edge of the flat surface the ball will land. The answer should be so close that you should be able to place a cup on the ground where it is predicted to land and make the ball land there.
     
    Have fun.

    Wow...

    By Akano,

    It's been a while since something like this happened. I was shocked and amazed Friday night.
     
    Our band got a standing ovation.
     
    It was amazing how much better our dance and our spirit was compared to that of last week. The crowd got pumped, they cheered, and we danced. It was amazing. I haven't felt that pumped in a while.
     
    It was the best show for our homecoming game.
     
    Oh, and we won.
     
    Rock on.

    Mwee Again…

    By Akano,

    >>;;
     
    Currently at school, with about 4 minutes to spare.
     
    Mwee, had a fun night Friday. Our football team creamed the opposing team by 46 points. It was nice. ^^
     
    Our new show, our "funk" show, did really well, and we pulled it off despite learning and cleaning it the week of the game.
     
    Also, I hope to make a new comic soon. Speaking of which, I want to possibly try something new with them, provided I get some time to do it. You might either look forward to it or dread it. That's your…choice?
     
    Anywho, that's all for now.

    I'm Well Again...

    By Akano,

    Over a week later, and I still have this stupid cough.
     
    Not to the extent I had it last week, though.
     
    Not to worry, my friends, the "MOO" Obsesser © is back to pretty good health. Just the occasional series of coughs from time to time.
     
    However, the sad thing is, several people in my school have caught this cough…a lot of them in band.
     
    But, now, onto other things. I really need to make a comic soon. It's been nearly two weeks. But, I'm facing that evil, feared, writer's block. Yup, I need an idea, and I'm sure I have one, it just won't poke its head from its hole in the ground of my mind so I can pluck it up and use it. *sigh*
     
    And, I'm not entering Artwork III Contest 12b. I've just been too busy recently to make an entry, and the theme isn't quite what I like. Maybe next time.
     
    And, my brain is fried, so I can't think of what to say. Until next time,

    Sick...

    By Akano,

    I hate being sick. Even though I'm home today, I really wish I could be at school. Well. Alive.
     
    I'm stuck with this really annoying cough and a fever. The cough I've had for days. Like, since Saturday. The fever I just got yesterday. It really stinks. I want to be back.
     
    I'm somewhat wondering if this is bacterial. Like maybe strep. That would stink.
     
    What's worse is that I went to bed last night thinking that I'd be better today. Nope. Had a fever this morning. Took my temperature and it was at 101°F.
     
    And I have a Calculus test tomorrow. Really would've liked to be in class to review for that…
     
    Hopefully the "MOO" Obsesser will be back to his old, well self. Sorry for the dreary blog entry.
     
    And, I think this is a record. I updated within 3 days. Woot.

    Band Owns

    By Akano,

    Ah, two football games. We're 1-1, and the marching band is 2-0.
     
    Our show owned. I greatly prefered the first game to the second, because I personally did better that game. But, both were excellent.
     
    If you're wondering, I am one of two senior trumpets in my high school marching band. And I'm the loudest one. ~shoots ego~
     
    My ego did get the better of me the other day, and I said something I shouldn't have. But, I think my section forgives me for that. >>;;
     
    Also, today I played paintball for the first time. And I realized how much paintballs hurt. ><;;
     
    The paintballs we used were the exact same size as Zamor spheres. It was kinda creepy. >>
     
    That's it for blurbs. See ya next update!

    Me Tired...

    By Akano,

    Sheesh, you know the feeling of extreme tiredness the week before school starts? Yeah, just hit me.
     
    BLARGAMOO! I don't get why our school starts in August. We don't get a full five day week until after Labor Day, which is when school should start. *sigh*
     
    Anywho, I'm really really tired and bored, which is why I've had a lack of comic ideas. If anyone wants to read through any of them, just clicky the banner to your left. *yawn*
     
    Yeah, I'm pretty much posting this out of boredom as well. Perhaps tomorrow I'll think of something to talk about. XP

    Band Camp...

    By Akano,

    Well, I've been through one week of band camp. My lips are exhausted due to all the playing. Marching I don't really care about, that doesn't exhaust me. The playing is what gets me.
     
    Why, you ask?
     
    ...I'm literally the loudest trumpet player in the band...and, no, that isn't ego talking, as much as it may sound that way... >>;;
     
    Thus my lips were killing me. By midday Friday my lips had the shapes of my teeth engraved into the inside of them. Perhaps that clears all that up.
     
    I'm really glad we're playing "The Final Countdown," one of my favorite songs to play. ^^ We played it in jazz band my sophomore year, and I'm trying to get my jazz director to bring it back this year. ^^
     
    Okay, enough band nerd talk. I'm sure I'm boring you.
     
    I have a new comic up as of July 30. I made a little block to the left for all of you with a link to both my comics and my stories. If you have free time, please take time to read if you're a fan of one or the other. I'd greatly appreciate it. ^^ The stories have been neglected for a while, but revival's allowed in the Library, so post away.
     
    Umm...I think that's it. Power to the trumpets.
     

  17. Akano
    It's been a while since I updated this, huh? I absolutely suck at keeping a blog. >>;;
     
    Anywho, I've been back from my trip for a week, I think. It was great. I saw a bunch of relatives and I ordered the Inika while there. I must say now, Hewkii rules.
     
    I looked at Dr. B's review of him, and I must say I got different Zamors with Hewkii. I got 2 yellows and 2 orange-red mixes. Same with Nuparu, so I gave Hewkii the yellows, Nuparu the red/orange. They look a lot better. ^^;
     
    And, yes, Hewkii's mask is awesome as well. The photos don't really do it justice.
     
    I made a new comic, which I'll display here in case anyone happens to come across this blog who isn't a regular at my comics (but, seeing as no one visits anyway, I don't see how that's possible )
     

     
    Many people don't seem to get the joke of why my brother and I would become Matoro if fused. I'm a Toa of Electricity, he's a Toa of Ice, and Matoro has the powers of Ice/Lightning. Thus, I thought it was funny that we'd form Toa Matoro when fused. But, no one gets it. *sigh* Moutekea thought it was pure genius, though. 8D
     
    I think that's all my ranting today. Hopefully I can update this more often. >>;;

    Moo And Stuff!

    By Akano,

    Yeah, it's been two weeks or so. I told you I wouldn't update this regularly. Anywho, time to fill y'all in on what I've been doing these past couple weeks.
     
    My SAT class thingy is over! I get a break before school starts! Woot!
     
    I have two little kittens, one's black and the other is white. He seems albino, but we don't know for sure. The black one is Cosmo and the white one is Comet. They're so cute.
     
    My brother, KK, and I built The Shadowed One for the first time. Not a very sturdy combiner, but he's very menacing. His staff is kinda odd in that the rip cord is also part of the top of the staff, but it's original, I guess. His Rhotuka kept falling off him. His arms are badly designed, being only Vahki legs and hands. I actually had to switch his hands because it made more sense that way. Also, it's hard to adjust one part of him without his whole body shifting. Really bad. ><;; In short: TSO looks sweet, but is horrible setwise.
     
    Also, I built the Mahi MOC that gifboy99 came up with, and it's really neat. Really original idea, and very accurate to the flash episodes/MNOG.
     
    That's another thing. It's Mata Nui Online Game, not Mata Nui On Line Game. Online is one word, people. One word. It really annoys me seeing MNOLG.
     
    KK used his Brickmaster edition of the May-June Lego Mag to create Protodax (he's not a Brickmaster member, so I'm not quite sure how that works). He's pretty schweet. Quite beastly indeed. But, I wanted my Avak back together, so we demolished it. He's quite menacing, especially when you know his Zamor brings you down to the size of a protodite where millions of those things lurk.
     
    I built stuff with my old Master Builder Kit, too. Ussal, Husi, Takea, you name it, I probably built it.
     
    And now, currently, I'm on vacation at my cousins'. I'll be spending the Fourth of July up here and remain here for another week or so. Fun Fun.
     
    Oh, I have a new comic up, BTW, if anyone's interested.
     
    And now, the signoff.

    A Week...

    By Akano,

    Well, it's been a week since I started my course, and it's not too bad... But taking those tests is murder... @@;;
     
    Anyway, first week of summer break and it hasn't been all too bad. I finally decided to take apart Keetongu and let my brother build Voporak...which means he only built his right leg and I had to build the rest. XP He's quite awesome. For a bulky combiner, he's built very sturdily and completely. In short: I likey. 8D
     
    Hopefully after we get some schweet pics we'll build the Shadowed One, the last of the '05 combiners we haven't built. We've built most of the previous combiners. I'm not all that sure about the Rahkshi Kaita and Bohrok/Kal Kaita. >>;
     
    Anywhosit, I hope summer's just as good throughout the weeks. You know how Avak in the Piraka movie puts his Zamor launcher on his own tool? I did that. *grin* It's pretty schweet. Leaves his other hand open for strangling Matoran.
     
    I can't wait for the Inika to come out. Hewkii has yellow pieces, and I'm gonna take full advantage of it. 8D And he has yellow Zamors. I think it's a dream come true. And I'm gonna get Nuparu, who I believe has orange Zamors. Fun fun. ^^
     
    Well, that's all I can think of to talk about today. Maybe later I'll talk about things that don't make you sleep. XD

    Summer!

    By Akano,

    Blarga, I need to make a comic soon. It's been eons, I swear it has. I need a good idea. I really want one done by the end of the weekend. Perhaps something about finals...
     
    Yeah, after my History and English finals yesterday, school is now officially over! WOOT!!! I can live again! At least until I have my SAT course to take...next week. ><;;
     
    Yeah, summer's gonna be interesting...going to visit my cousins, helping my Science Olympiad team, marching band camp...ah, those are the days... ^^
     
    I can't wait. This summer's gonna be such a blast.
     
    Yes, I am weird. ^^
     

  21. Akano
    Oooh, cool, a blogthing! This means I have to type here and stuff, doesn't it?
     
    Well, good, I could use a little extra space.
     
    Hmm, well, if you guys had noticed, I've been gone from BZP for a couple weeks. Why is that, you may ask. Simple my friends: Science Olympiad National competition.
     
    Now, I wasn't on the official team, because I belong to my high school's team, and the middle school team was the only one that made it. However, I am proud to say that the middle school placed in the TOP 5 TEAMS IN THE NATION!!! WOO HOO!
     
    And I am also proud to say I helped coach the national champions of Entomology! ^^
     
    I was so dang proud of them. I was in hysterics the rest of the night. >>
     
    And the rambling continues.
     
    Another reason I haven't been here is because finals week is upon my school, and it stinks. I should be back in gear soon, if I don't die first. >>
     
    Another thing: My comics topic reached its two year milestone! Yes, I kept a comic topic alive for over two years. I consider that a great accomplishment. No, I haven't got a single bit of ego. >>;;
     
    Hopefully I'll be able to update this thing once in a while. >>
