    A bit of honesty

    By FallenAtlas,

    I'm rarely on this site and have rarely posted about anything in any format because the honest truth is I've been on this site before under a different username, a different account.
     That account was bullied off the site.
     I was much younger then. I was ignorant of things and was just looking to have a good time with friends I made. Older members, adults, on this site came after me when I was 14 years old and bullied me off the site.
     That's the BZPower I remember and know. I made a new account later in life, this one, and hoped I could talk about my passion of Bionicle again without carrying the social stigma that was made against me.
     It, frankly, hasn't worked well. I see many of the same folks that hurt me dearly still posting and being active.
     BZPower, to be honest, lost its way. It stopped being about Bionicle a long time ago and became a clique. The forum was ran(both on staff and off staff) by a group of people that used the forum to flex their internet power points on others. Many things I posted, shared, wrote, whatever...were criticized and ignored for not being one of them. And that's a hard thing to take when all you want is to have fun on a website dedicated to a toy.
     There is not a single friend I made on BZPower that I still know today because of the environment created here. My friend, S, has become consumed by this site and I can't bear to talk to her ever again because of the venom built up in her over all this. It's too much.
     It's all too much for a toy.
     It was just supposed to be a toy fan site.
     That's all I wanted. I got a lot of other things instead.
     I'll probably still be around, here and there. I've said my piece.
     I'm done holding the sky up.

    January 2018

    By FallenAtlas,

    January of 2018 was the last time I was here.
     
    It's been a long time. Lot's changed. I broke a couple of times, picked myself up. Still kicking.
     
    Might write a short story or two. About something.

    It's been a while.
     
    A long while. Not exactly sure of the time frame to be honest, but it may be far too long.
     
    Well, where was I? Air Force Basic Training, 323rd Training Squadron, Lackland AFB, Texas. Had a fantastic time. Grew a lot. Lost 15lbs, almost made honor grad, and met some great people(and some awful people.).
     
    Now, I'm at Tech School for Weather. Meteorology. Cloud science. Keesler AFB, Mississippi. I have about 6 1/2 months ahead of me and I'm looking forward to getting past it.
     
    I'm back. Look forward to my writing on the weekends primarily, as the weekdays are far too busy for that. Anybody miss me?
     
    Wouldn't be shocked if nobody remembered me, wasn't around that long in the first place.

    On Writing

    By FallenAtlas,

    Some stories are like corn. It takes a few attempts and a few crops before you can grow the perfect earful. Also it takes a lot of time.
     
    Then some stories are like random roaches in the Walmart parking lot. Before you know it, they have run up your pant leg and are getting cozy with your privates.

    Saw three films recently, Arrival, Logan, and LEGO Batman.
     
    Gotta say, all three really blew my expectations out of the park and were fantastic films.
     
    Arrival was one of the best Sci-Fi films I have seen in a long time. You know why? It has a lot less to do with "DIE ALIEN SCUM" and more with actually just communication. It was fascinating and I loved it so much. The big reveal at the end and how it all played out just made it perfect. Definitely recommend seeing it.
     
    Logan was very good, a better representation of the character on the screen like he is in most comics. The language use was slightly off putting because it was like he was just given permission to swear so they wanted to use it as much as possible, haha. Other than that, the characterization was excellent as always from Hugh Jackman. Minor issue with the plot tho; I've read Old Man Logan, the comic it is based off, and the way Logan decides to hang up being a superhero is SOOOOOO much better and deeper and darker(not saying it being darker makes it better necessarily, but it works for what happened to him.) than what is shown and implied in the movie. Not as gripping, I thought.
     
    LEGO Batman. Near perfection. Jokes were great, references to Batman's long publication history, and all the supporting characters made it a top contender for film of the year and it's only April. Just saying.

    Yeah, beating a dead horse but I'm still not over what FO:4 should have been. Could have been. Graphics were great, I loved the settlement building(but I think they should have cut down on the amount of settlement locations...), the Gunplay was great, but other then that....it kinda sucked. Period.
     
    Ah, oh well. Can't have a good thing all the time.

    Dusty....

    By FallenAtlas,

    ..is a great name for a dog. Horrible condition for a blog however.
     
    Not saying I'm writing some Bionicle-ish stuff(and totally not saying I found some random books of Bionicle for like, $3 books for a box full at a garage sale), and I'm not saying I may be more active.
     
    I'm just saying Dusty is a great name for a dog.

    Here I Am

    By FallenAtlas,

    Well, it's a new year. 2017.
     
    Last year wasn't that bad for me. Made a lot of friends. Learned a lot. Got hurt a lot. Picked myself up a lot. Lot of good artists died, though; that was upsetting.
     
    But what about here?
     
    My original intent of coming here, just to RolePlay is dead. I have no time for that anymore. I'm coming up on enlisting in the National Guard and I was promoted to full time at work.
     
    I still have stories swimming about in my brain though. Things and thoughts I should put to paper(or more accurately, to screen.). I'll consider it.
     
    I think I'll be more active here. Try to be at least. There's something to be said about this place that I keep coming back for, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm not sure I want to either.
     
    New year. New you. Jamba Juice.

    Black Friday

    By FallenAtlas,

    It's not worth it. I've worked in both retail and the food business. Don't go Black Friday shopping at midnight. Or at 3AM. Wait until like 7AM like a reasonable person. They'll still have TV's before Christmas. Those waffle toasters you're jazzed about? Still there. The latest iBox game? Boy, lemme tell you something about the way they will have it.
     
    Enjoy family. Give thanks for all the good you have in this world.
     
    Happy Thanksgiving

    By FallenAtlas,

    This election was YUGE.
     
     
    Seriously though, it's just another 4 years. The sun will come up tomorrow and the world will spin on. It isn't the end of the world.

    OshKosh

    By FallenAtlas,

    I'm going to be gone for two weeks, as I am going to OshKosh WI to volunteer at the EAA airshow.
     
    If there's anything anybody needs of me before I leave, message me and I'll try and get it down. At 3AM tomorrow morning, the bus pulls out and I am gone!

    ...get paid with a computer.
     
    That was wild.
     
    I was asked to repair and fix up two computers, both of which are rather fast and good machines once they were fixed. The lady then asked which one was better, so I let her know, and she gave me the slower one as payment.
     
    Not complaining, I needed a good gaming machine....

    I have a heart that aches for people that are hurting, that are in need, that need just a bit of help. I have a hard time saying no, because I never want to say no. I don't like denying people help. It just rubs me the wrong way.
     
    But as a result, I can end up getting myself wrapping up in events that I have no clue where they started or where they will end. But that's who I am. It's what I am.
     
    I help people.
     
    And sometimes I find myself suffering for it.
