    Rc Battle Truck Wip

    By CzaR,

    So this is the next step I have taken in fusing power functions with the Outdoor Challenger sets chassis. Cajun suggested last year at brickcon I should make a firing mechanism via PF remote. I thought about it, but never implemented it in my previous RC vehicle as I lacked a second motor.
     
    Well this time I have 2 motors, Im gonna make it shoot zamor spheres via the XL motor, the other motor will probably be a spinning chaingun. Weight and stability are big concerns, so is making a reloading zamor clip and mounting it somehow. I need ideas guys!

    Should I bring my weekly set spotlight back? Im not sure if anyone really was interested in it, as most of the sets I listed were pre-2000.
     
    Or maybe some kind of new weekly highlight? MoC/member of the week? Im open to suggestions here.

    Spring Draws Near...

    By CzaR,

    As the days grow longer, the dawn beings earlier, I am reminded that the long cruel winter is almost over. This spring will be different, it is a whole new world for me now, I am alone, I have no confidant anymore. It has been a difficult time, but I think I am finally seeing my way through it.
     
    I cannot go on as I have been, there is no point. I know I am doing the best I can, for her, for my child, and for myself. I take comfort in that, and I know that I will one day be happy again. I miss them both, its crazy, they are so close, yet so far away from me. The little time I have with my kid I cherish, we have so much fun together and it is always a heart wrenching time when she has to leave and go back to her home. I took alot of things for granted, I know its tried and true but I really did. Mostly the time I had, lost. Things left unsaid, undone and unwanted. I look forward to the future, the warmer days, the blooming flowers, it reminds me that time moves on. I see many things in a new light since I moved away, when I go to work, or at night, I take more time to take a deep breath, admire the sights, sounds and smells of the outside world.
     
    Life is what you make it, but at times you make it impossible. Sometimes we have to remember that we are not the only ones that matter, and consider what consequences our actions will have, not only on the near, but also distant future. Spring, a time when the winds of change blow, when life begins anew, I am ready.

    I Still Lurk!

    By CzaR,

    Coming to terms with all that bad stuff, I find myself trying to move forward. I have realized I hate being alone, I need to find someone, fast.
     
    I am in the best shape of my life, I work out everyday between the rec room at our apartments and grinding out miles on the bike. Mentally I am still healing though. I have found a couple new friends, which has helped, but I am a lover, and lovers need lovees! Work is going well, I continue to impress the boss with my skills in math and inventory. As for the drivers license, I had to re-schedule sadly. Got all the way there and had a brake light out, my new date is the 11th of next month. No one seems to trust me with their vehicle, so I gotta get a rental I suppose. I swear I cannot depend on anyone round here, even my family has pretty much disowned me!
     
    No luck with getting my own computer yet, its going to be that or a car, and I think the car will take priority. No new lego works in progress, still trying to get motivated, everytime I look at them the memories come flooding back and I just cannot get inspired. Sales in the store are brisk though, and that has helped me out big time. I have to get my parts inventoried some day soon, time is just flying by lately, which stinks, I am losing so much time with my child, and regrettably, her mother. Take care all!

    Life Update.

    By CzaR,

    Well, it has not gotten much better. I have been texting with my childs mother, begging for a reason why and where I did her wrong. She refuses to give me anything, says she wants me to move on but how can I with no further closure?
     
    My nightmares continue to haunt me. I have been pedaling my bike for miles each day just to visit and try to help my poor daughter through this. I still love her mother even after she has turned my world upside down, I bring her gifts and try to be a nice guy, only getting the cold shoulder in return. Yet this guy she has never met has her heart and kindness at his will. I am just so lost and alone, its an awful, horrible thing and I fear I am slipping away into madness and despair.
     
    The little good news I have is that the store is back online and I hopefully, after 28 years will be getting my drivers license for the first time. I take the drive test on the 21st, wish me luck there. Even as an old man I am nervous!
     
    Take care all, I hope to have a laptop and some kind of social life again soon. The Wii can only do so much.

    Hey people, now that I am back online I should be blogging regularly. Let me tell you all of my shocking discovery.
     
    So we all know I was dumped by my babies mother a few weeks back, I was and still am devastated. But I found some closure yesterday, in a letter she wrote to a complete stranger who she has apparently fallen in love with. She has not even met this guy and lied to me and the family about him! I begged her for honesty and she completely ruined my life, she even accepted that she was an evil person who broke my heart. She is two-faced and I do not even trust my child with her now, so sad that 10 years of bonding ended in this. So I offer a bit of advice to you young people, do not become overwhelmed in love and blinded, I had my gut feeling and nightmares but I just held on for the sake of my child. I came from a broken family and never wanted this for her. However when I discovered the truth on my own, I knew I had to leave. I will never know how anyone, let alone the mother of my child can be so cruel and heartless, but now I know I am a far better person than she can ever hope to be.
     
    So take it from me, there is no worse pain than a broken heart, stay guarded and reserved until you feel in your heart and mind that you are ready to commit.

    Happy Holidays To Bzp!

    By CzaR,

    Hey everyone, hows it going here? I have been adjusting to my new life, it has been a sombering experience, things have gotten very real in the last 2 weeks. Things are looking up though, I have a nice apartment now, I will be able to keep my job and I hope to be back online within my home by mid Janurary.
     
    I have not really touched my LEGO Bricks since this whole thing went down, its going to take some time for me to get motivated again, they bring back some harsh memories ya know? Of course just about everything does, all I do is think of her and my kid. But enough of that, I got some nice gifts for the holiday, some Cool Water colonge and aftershave, a few lego sets, a shirt and other stuff. I cannot believe the outpouring of kindness I have receieved from people, both friends and strangers, in helping me get through all this. I feel very lucky to be who I am, and have those people who really do care about me.
     
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

    Its Over....

    By CzaR,

    She dumped me, and finally was able to tell me face to face. I am moving out for real this time, yesterday was the worst day of my life. I do not know if/when I will return here, but I do hope to someday, when I can get back on my feet and get a computer and etc.
     
    Id like to thank everyone here for their kind words, friendships, everything. You young people have helped me alot, crazy as it may seem. Wish me luck, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.

    Been Awhile...

    By CzaR,

    Been very busy, the store is getting very busy this time of year, everyone wants lego! I have had a staggering amount of orders the last few days. Things are going well for the most part, working alot, making good money. Which in turn translates to new stuff to keep me from going insane, such as Wii points cards for nostalgic gameplay, new music, lego parts for my works, clothes and the like.
     
    Then there is my relationship, or lack there of. Which seems to have come to a total halt. I am tired of heartache, I try to put on a good show but it continues to tear at my very core. Forgive me for venting, pathetic as it is I take some comfort in putting it out here, among the BZPeoples, my peoples.
     
    Look for new MoCs soon, I have found that when I find myself in strife, I tend to become more active with building stuff. Funny huh?

    My 2 Cents On The End...

    By CzaR,

    I guess I should start positive, thanks to TLC for giving us Bionicle, in all of its forms.
     
    Way back in 2001, I made my first Bionicle set purchase, it was Toa Onua, and right away I thought that this new theme had some very unique parts. Parts that can be used in a million different ways, as such, my MoC works began using Bionicle parts. At first, I used what I had and quite frankly made and published some very bad creations. Looking back on them now, I am not ashamed of them, but I will admit they are ugly.
     
    Then one day, after seeing one of Cajun's masterpieces, I thought to myself wow, look what can be done with those parts. Ever since then, I would like to think my works have gotten much better. I credit that to both those who gave me feedback and my own perseverance. I took to Bionicle right away, in a time where all I knew was Space and Town when it comes to lego. I completely abandoned most of my system works. I saw what could be done with Bionicle, in both detail and scale, and I was blown away. Fully articulate giants, with customized weaponry and functions, this truly was the meaning of a great and alluring action figure.
     
    Then in 2005, I found BZP and I knew I belonged here. This was perhaps the best place where I could socialize, share and create with other Bionicle fans. I have met many great people here, and what made it all possible? Bionicle did.
     
    And so now it has been made official by those who created Bionicle, it will come to an end. My first reply to that is, why? Bionicle continues to sell well, which is exactly what the staff from TLC told me at Brickcon is the main factor in deciding which lego themes will continue. As an AFOL, I am clearly in the minority of the Bionicle fanbase, and I forwardly admit, I am not one who keeps up with the storyline, reads the books or watches the movies. I like and buy Bionicle for the wonderful part molds, style and potential of what can be made. Bionicle could have played itself out to its own end, as BCii pointed out. I feel that it has been abruptly and over-zealously discontinued for the wrong reasons. TLC seems to be taking its market for children into more television and license-oriented themes, rather than its own original theme. I fear TLC is becoming more pop culture and less TLC.
     
    And thats about all I have to say.

    I Am Over Worked...

    By CzaR,

    Worked 6 days last week, 6 days this week, including 4 10 hour days, then I have to work 10 hours on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am a bit discouraged about that.
     
    On the flip side, I will be making 30 dollars an hour on the holidays. Is being a slave to society really worth it people? For that all mighty dollar bill?

    Classic Set Spotlight #57

    By CzaR,

    Mudboggin...
     
    5561 Big Foot 4x4

     
    Description: Released in 1997 as part of the Model Team line, retail price was about 40 bucks then. Now it can sell MISB for about 150 bucks. Containing 761 parts, the set was your standard model team vehicle, with a steering function and other features.
     
    My take: Never had this set, it comes with some nice chrome parts from what I can see. I think this was the last model team set made if memory serves.

    Glats, Wii And Cd Player...

    By CzaR,

    For the first time in nearly 14 years, I actually bought a CD! I found my favorite album of ALL TIME, so I had to buy a CD player since I have none, I cannot wait to crank it up all the way on my noise enhancing headphones! It will be almost like when I saw them (White Zombie) live in the mosh pit! Also picked up a Wii points card as I see the virtual console now has Ogre Battle on SNES, a game which has haunted my existance ever since the mid 90s when I was unable to finish it. Lastly, I got Glatorians, which I plan on selling!
     
    The greatest hardcore heavy metal album EVER, Astro Creep 2000:

     
    Wii Points:

     
    Glats:

     
    Okay now I go to blast my eardrums out of my head!
