Roa McToa

Partyparty! Theres even a gigiantic pizza coming up to my house tonight! My friend is coming over to help me fix my 89 Suburban, because the front end needs work. I have a parts truck I scored for $150, and we have been changing over parts since I got it last fall! I am so excited that things are finally happening! I feel like my life is beginning to get on track, and I can finally save up some money and set up my shop at home! Yayness I say!!!!

I am officially a violinmaker as of today! I sold my violin that I posted in this blog for $4,000! I am so stoked, as it is my first ever sale of one of my own instruments! I can now pay off my bills! HOORAH!!! This, on top of meeting a interesting guy back at home, things just seem to be turning my way lately! Click Here for the blog entry about the violin

Okay, I will definitely think about that. After the trailer is done, I'm going to make mini movie about Kaiva-Nui's past, and how it got to the state its in currently as well.

I have been brainstorming what I want my movie trailer to be like. I am thinking about 5 minutes long or so. It will show the "current time" story, and take glimpses of the characters and scenery. The trailer is narrated by Turaga Ohma, and when the time comes, I will need a deep voice for the character. All the giant rahi will be featured with tidbits of their animated awesomeness. I just re-assembled them after having them apart for their brickfest adventure. I'm going to build a new model of Kukorahk, and save the old one for brickfest demos and such. I am thinking of modifying it a bit so it looks more full, and I'm going to build new functions into the legs and tail. The new Kukorahk model will have the same face as the old one, and the other features will remain the same, but it's going to get a massive color treatment! I am going to also add on to Vakatu's lava urchin Yukizahk, as I feel it is only halfway done..... Pakuudo is going to get some stability treatment in his body and hips, and I may add some little arms too. Seems like everything needs a little tweaking.... Storyline progress goes slowly at this current time, as I really haven't had a ton of time to sit down and concentrate my movie sequence. All in good time. Maybe next time I get to spend quality time at home, I will bust out some epic Trials of Terror! One month left to name the Reikia folks, so feel free to enter my contest! The Reikia are fearsome creatures of darkness, that are mysterious beyond all imagination. They were even thought to not exist. They hold immense powers within themselves, and were banished to Kuna-Kava for good reason...........

I thought about getting a class ring when I was in highschool, but they were really expensive, and I figured it would just end up in a drawer or something, so I didnt get one. I did get a letter jacket though.........

You might have to add some extra extra overtime to get this done KIE. Sounds like a dilly of a pickle indeed. I'll send some good vibes your way so things flow together well! Flow... he he heheee

I am going to start working on my PBZP. Its been long neglected, and needs some TLC. I plan on building my first O entry, and finish my B and K entries first, being that I already have one of two for each finished. I plan on using some great new building techniques and building some really nice mocs. I'm also going to start working on some new creations for NW BrickCon in October. I'm going to start putting together my Trials of Terror movie trailer soon, and will do voicecasting once my scripts are written for this trailer. I'll keep y'all informed as things proceed. Don't Forget to Name the Reikia! You have until the end of May to do so!

All three going to get new armor and improved faces as soon as I can find some armor for a decent price. Those other colors are a little harder to come by in quantity.

Yes its true..... I am supporting Bundalings lil crabbies, no matter what! I was doing all my voting, and the bright colors of seranikais entry drowned out the mellow colors of the crabs. I didn't even see them, as my dyslexia must have kicked in I still think they are the cutest ones of all!

Well, It seems like things are going rather well for me lately. I got my taxes filed and paid on time, and I still have plenty of cash to get me by, and pay my other bills. Things just seem to flow this time of year.... My promotion to staff was a bit of a suprise. I certainly wasn't expecting it at all, let alone so soon. I like helping out around the site, and doing my part to help keep BZP a great forum! Work has been crazy busy lately, and income is good! I'm also taking care of my friends dog. A big white german shepherd named Coda. Hes a really nice dog! I'll get around to my pbzp, really..... Don't Forget to Name the Reikia!

Schweeett! The costume turned out awesome! You've pulled off an effective balthier costume for sure! Highlighted hair and sideburns? Sounds cool! Blog it asap!

Isn't it a great feeling to know that your creations directly inspired that kid to build better models? Thats what building is all about in my opinion...

Girls will own BZPower someday..... I am glad to be one of your loyal minions Tufi! I hope to help make things function smoothly, and I will use my ladies charm to help uphold the law.....

Yes! In the summer it can get downright hot. My igloo won't hold together much longer...........

Spring is upon us here in Alaska. All the Home Depot stores I assemble for are screaming for help right now. They need all of the wheelbarrows that are left over from last year built (were talking hundreds here). So work has been rolling along. There is lots of money to be made... I am working like crazy on getting my taxes all done on time. Oooiii I am sweating bullets over here! Its so close to the deadline. I really gotta start doing them up earlier LOL I have a bbc42 entry built, I just need to find a few minutes to finalize it. I think they are adorable little critters, and they dont have tuggle eyes! Yayyy! It's looking like I can take out my old bikes pretty soon! I am stoked about that! I got to do some riding while I was in Oregon, and got the bicycle fever! I love my schwinns! Anyways, I have to get back on my taxes, so I'll catch y'all on the flip side! Roa out......

Yessss, something to keep the evil lord Survurlode at bay!

Ahhhh yes! This is refreshing to see indeed! Mantax to the Max! I like how you completely rebuilt him, with more poseability, and Bigger shoulder armor! He looks more like a ray to me. His legs are delightfully more buff as well. He's Kicken' now! Great job, and I can't wait to see the others!

He he, now you are Gambit............ You might have to change your avatar again LOL Awesome though! I bet they really fly well when you chuck em!

KIE helped me plant the squids. We sneakily gandered at the wonderful castle exhibit, and squiddyfied it! Tee hee hee SQUIIIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love that Biiiig sword. Cloud is awesome!

Well, my vacation officially ends tomorrow night. I have heard that there is SO MUCH WORK for me when I get home. I'll need it for sure. I guess my motto for the weeks to come will be "Woooorrrk Till Your Body Buuurrnnsss!!!" Me and my two work partners have to build a minimum of 150 BBQ grills at each of 3 Home Depot stores in town, and the huge one out in the valley. Not to mention all the yard equipment they will need like wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, carts, trailers, chippers, shredders, log splitters... The list just keeps going on and on. Its hard to keep up with the quota, because customers often come up and buy the stuff as soon as you finish assembling it. Money is money in my book.... I should be hearing back about NW Brick Con pretty soon, and I hope that its really good news! I also submitted a Builders Profile to The Brothers Brick. They were really interested in my Bionicle creations, and wanted to put up their very first builder spotlight on their site, and have it be about me and my Bionicle creations! I was nominated and gladly accepted the invitation! They told me thats the first time they had seen bionicle models that were built the way I build em. Makes me happy to know I was accepted so nicely at brickfest! I think BrickfestPDX 07 was an important step that I needed to take into the next level of building. I saw creations that blew my mind, like the operating Cuckoo clock that was staring at the bionicle table. I loved that thing, and I want to build one!!! I absorbed as much as I could by looking at other peoples creations, and learned so many great things about system that I would like to try myself! That Lego building book I won as a door prize is like candy too! I will gobble up all those spiffy building techniques...... I still have to file my taxes when I get home....... One word..... Nightmare See you all on the flip side....... Roa out.....

Ooh Wowee! KIE's gonna be an uncle! YAY! Forget Quatro, go straight to duplo! they can use them for teething as well as building LOL I'm glad to hear that the project model is going well. Its nice when things pull together at work. I hope T-Jack is gonna be ok. I'll put some good energy out towards him. Get any disc golf in lately??

Oh woops, looks like I misread. Congrats to your Bro and his family I am slightly dyslexic I guess

ZOMG My Pen YEAAARGHHHHHH! I want that back! Man it was a mad rush getting out of there, how could I have missed it WAAAAHHHHHH Omi... Pleeeasasseeee send it to me! And KIE, Thanks for the back of the can info! We used it in some lasagna, and OOOO mama! It was Yummy!

dang, I'd do what I could to take away her badge and lights if I was in any form of power. What a bleep she is being. DONT BE LATE FOR MEETINGS LADY! Sheesh! You watch, shes gonna get it...... Wow, you think you'll finish it today? Awesome! I know you were stressing about it a litlle, glad to see that its working out for you! Is it the same BIG project you were telling me about? Are there more models to make, or is this The One? Glad to hear work is working out good!
