    Coin Collection

    By FallenAtlas,

    I've self-appraised my coin collection today. Took me around 6 hours to get through the more important pieces of the collection, and now my back hurts. But the worth stands somewhere between $80,000 and $100,000.

    Gather 'round ladies and gents, because it has come to my attention that nobody has been giving you poor chaps regular safety briefings.
     
    That, that is a crime.
     
    Here's a simple one for you to start off with:
     
    When you are about to head out to volunteer to run a parking lot for 500+ cars for a classic car show, do not grab the bottle of expired sunblock to use. Grab the bottle of new stuff, even if it says it only lasts for 3 hours, versus the 6 for the expired one. Because it won't matter at the end, when your entire neck and face is blistered and burnt from 7 hours of work.
     
    That's your safety briefing. Thanks for listening.

    Well Then

    By FallenAtlas,

    Second Interview went amazing, the guy told me that I was one of the best people he's ever interviewed, and they would let me know Monday.
     
    They called Tuesday, and told me that THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN EMPLOYING ME. They said I was overqualified for the position, and they had no management positions open.
     
     
    I was applying for a starter-position.

    Cyber Monday

    By FallenAtlas,

    Couple days late, but whatever.
     
    Picked up some DLC for Europa Universalis IV(some unit packs, and the Art of War expansion).
     
    And a war hammer. Legitimate, 100% steel and hickory war hammer from Cold Steel.
     
    Yeah. It was a good day.
     
     
    Plus, I had the day off!

    Life

    By FallenAtlas,

    It has consumed me.
     
    I will see you all another time.
     
    Apologies to those that were waiting on me, whether for something I promised or just for the heck of it.

    Suspense

    By FallenAtlas,

    Early December.
     
    Know what that means, right?
     
    That means the selection of 24 participants is going to be announced soon for a Civic Leadership school in Washington D.C. Yours truly, Atlas, is one the many that entered and submitted an essay(for a topic that will not be discussed here.).
     
    I am on the edge of my seat. Wish me luck.

    Black Friday

    By FallenAtlas,

    If you pick up an item and carry it around the store with you, and just toss it onto another display or shelf;
     
    If you knock over a display and don't even let anybody know that you knocked it over;
     
    If you try to haggle a better discount on items we're practically giving away for free;
     
     
    I will most likely hate you.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Retail Workers
     
     
     
     
     
    I worked from 10PM Thanksgiving Day to 8AM the next day, and my energy drink only let me sleep for two hours before I went back in at 4PM to close at 12AM. I am a little upset.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    By FallenAtlas,

    Happy Thanksgiving BZPowerites,
     
    What are you thankful for this time of year?
     
    I am most thankful for all that God has done for me, my family(and pig), and for having this neat little site to let me post my writings!

    All 4 Wisdom Teeth

    By FallenAtlas,

    Gone. Ripped out Monday in less than five hours. Went home, and turned out I'm allergic to the anesthesia, so I was puking sick the rest of the day. Didn't sleep hardly at all last night, and now I'm hooked up on pain killers and can't feel anything.
     
     
    I guess I could say I'm in a better mood now than I was over the weekend.

    Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be making BZPRPG characters based exactly on Marvel/DC Characters. These types of characters are affectionately(actually, not at all. They are hated pretty much everywhere except on a certain RP site I cannot mention.) known as "Carbons," as in "carbon copy."
     
    My starting character is most likely going to be Daredevil. (Mattew Muridock, perhaps?) Any fan favorites around here?
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    *Author's Note: I will not be using these characters in the BZPRPG. This is simply for fun. If an interest is expressed in using them, however, I may allow it to happen.

    Really people?

    By FallenAtlas,

    So, I decided, "Hey! I really don't know much about this Bionicle business at all, and dragging myself through a wiki is no fun, so let's go read discussion topics on BZPower! Might be worth it!"
     
    So I sat down and started digging through Storyline, Bionicle Discussion, and so on.....
     
     
    Good Lord, people, it's a toyline. It's a toy, it's a toy, and will be nothing more than a toy. And you guys are fighting? Insulting each other? Some of this stuff is almost on par with the comment sections of CNN/Fox/NewsSite! That's ridiculous!
     
    You guys can't just sit down and enjoy this, what you have in common, without wanting to fight? I get that there's a lot of people here from different backgrounds, ages, lifestyles, and so on and etc.
     
    But you can leave that out and just enjoy Bionicle. Or Harry Potter. Or cars. Or baseball. Or my personal favorite, coin collecting.
     
     
     
    But really people. Just really.

    RPG:
     
    Turns out describing locations without going, "It's a square. There's some tables. You eat food here. Move along" just doesn't cut it. I hate describing things without life in it.
     
     
    Stories:
     
    Is it a custom here to just upvote stuff and never comment? Upvotes don't tell anybody anything except that you "liked" it. LIKED IT WHY? WE WANT TO KNOW JOHNNY.
     
    Star Wars:
     
    Mega hype. Not buying tickets. I'll see it in a year when it hits the dollar movies. I can't get excited after the mess that was the Prequels.
     
     
    HALO 5:
     
    If there isn't some sub-plot with Chief trying to get Cortana back I'm gonna be mad. No, scratch that, I will be glassed.

    So read the storyline for Bionicle, 2001-2004(?)....this is what I got from it.
     
     
    Makuta is jealous of Mata Nui and slips him some sleeping pills, and the island of Mata Nui is supposedly made cold and crops don't grow(wheat? Corn? They don't say.). Anyways, the Turaga, the old ones, get Takua to summon the Toa Mata from the heavens to show up and kick Makuta butt. Turns out falling from the heavens makes you forget everything, even your name.
     
    They recover, they kinda beat Makuta, and then they have to deal with the beetle infestation. Bohrak or whatever, cool in theory. Turns out they are ruled by some queens, and after getting a robot-suit powerup(which they ditched? What was the point again??), the queens are defeated, all is good.
     
    Makuta then released beetles 2.0, they do better, but turns out human greed even works on beetles and they get killed. Toa also get a super-hero upgrade after a quick swim.
     
    Turns out there's gonna be a 7th Toa, and after a ridiculous trip across the island and the introduction of some taller beetles, there's a big fight with hockey sticks and Makuta is defeated for good. Supposedly. Mata Nui is supposed to be woken up or something. I still don't get how Takuanuva is brought back to life. He's the Toa of Light. There's an problem there.
     
    Also, they didn't mention the fact the island is sitting on the face of a giant action-figure??
