    Embarassment

    By Vezok's Friend,

    So. Who am I? The aeon old question. But Who I am is just a derivative of what, and what I am is an artist here on Bzp! (Btw. V for Vendetta quotes rock!)
     
    And beeing an artist that's what you propbaly know me. Some of my other nicknames include "Cörv", "C-man clueless", "VF", "Veef", "Beef", and generally that pain in the neck with the colour-scheme ruining golden Metru Hau I stole from Lhikan.
     
    And aside from the cool facts that I am/was a lifeguard, a sailor, a diver, swam onle 3 feet away from a sharks nose, touched a seaturtle (Yes you PotC fans, seaturtles. Tied together with hair from my Hobbit-feet!) swam with Dolphins and was on two Safaris in Africa, there are some facts that make me blush.
    First of all: There are facts that make me blush.
     
    I am shy and if you ask me to show you my sketchbook while looking over my shoulder you should be prepared for a Gollum-eque chest-clutching "my prescioussss" show. Same goes for asking me to play the trumpet solo in front of an audience. No chance in Karzhani.
     
    Secondly: I can get excited like my old 4-year old self in Legoland Billund and should you ever witness that event, I am a mentally sane person with momentary fits of crazy. For example a new movie coming out or generally the first new Bionicle-set of the year release. Or sometimes randomly for no reason when the sun is shining.
     
    I tend to air-drum along to the rocksongs in my playlist. And I am good at it.
     
    I sometimes hum or sing (quietly) along to them too. I can't really sing, therefore it's more like a mumbling.
     
    I am, in fact, cuddly. Interpret this as you wish. (Fine, just imagine me like JD from scrubs)
     
    My favourite animated movie is Happy Feet and anyone dare say anything against tapdancing penguins is gonna get a breath of fire in their faces. Speaking of which, Finding Nemo, Shrek and Iceage rock too.
     
    I got watery eyes during the ending of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. And during Forrest Gump. Admittedly I was younger then, but still.
     
    I've got one more:
     
    I like the song "back for good" by Take That. So take that and be quiet.
     
     
    I am in no way a creep, I am not drunk while typing this, I just wanted to give you all (well, I know nobody bothers to read my entries anyway) something to laugh at.
     
    Enjoy!

    I woke up this morning and the sun was gone, 
    Turned on some music to start my day.
     
    I lost myself in a familiar song,
     
    I closed my eyes and I slipped away.
     
     
     
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
     
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
     
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
     
    Till I see Marianne walk away.
     
    I see my Marianne walking away.
     
     
     
    So many people have come and gone,
     
    Their faces fade as the years go by;
     
    Yet I still recall as I wander on,
     
    As clear as the sun in the summer sky.
     
     
     
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
     
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
     
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
     
    Till I see Marianne walk away.
     
    I see my Marianne walking away.
     
     
     
    When I'm tired and thinking cold
     
    I hide in my music, forget the day,
     
    And dream of a girl I used to know.
     
    I closed my eyes and she slipped away.
     
     
     
    She slipped away.
     
     
     
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
     
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling).
     
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
     
    Till I see Marianne walk away.
     
    I see my Marianne walking away.
     
    "More then a feeling"-Boston, one of my favourite rock-songs. I've liked it for as long as I can remember.
    Sadly it fits my situation right now, but I'm confident things will turn out for the better again, I just need to wait.

    And not just relationships, any sort of friendship. 
    It's not that you enjoy the good times, the good mood, the sunny days.
     
    It's that, when there is no sunshine, when you go through an argument, when you are up to your neck in trouble, you come through for each other.
     
    That you want to be there, even when things suck.
     
    And if you care for the other person, if you value that relationship, you'll be there when things look bad.

    Ok, maybe a Bionicle website is not the best place, but: 
    Whoever first got the idea that growing up and beeing a responsible young adult is about leaving everything childish behind and solely putting all effort into getting straight A's to get the job that pays best was a complete moron.
     
    Please rub this in everbodies face who complains that your hobbies are not fitting with your age. Even better: Print this out and slap them with it.

    First of all: This is not a rant. This is an observation and a call for staying open-minded.
     
    Everyone of us who went to highschool and college or whatever other educational instituation simply had to give a talk or a presentation or write a paper or report or something else on a specific topic. There is no way around it and it is an important part of education since talking to people or communicating with them is the way to convince them of yourself so that they will listen to you or will be willing to give you money for something you sell. It's just the way it works.
     
    Now I called this entry "a word to the teachers". Because we who have written reports etc. face the same problem again and again: We are expected to research a topic that has been researched by other peoplebefore us with information we collected from sources presented to us by other people in an original or simply well-done way. And ever since a certain encyclopedia went online in the WWW, us students are warned and accused with the same thing:
     
    That using google and wikipedia is an amateurs way of researching information. That these sources are unreliable. That it's basically cheating. And may the flying spaghetti monster save us if we even cite Wikipedia as a source of our information.
     
    Now, I understand why profs don't like Wiki, or internet researched information in general: Nobody knows the quality of the source. It could be a 12 year old with an IQ of 200 posting incorrect information in a sophisticated way on the web. It could be one of them world-conspiracy theorists. It could be Elmar Fudd.
    Who knows. And yes, there are many goofballs on the internet. Even I am a goofball, which anybody can confirm who has recived one of my less serious comments on their profile before.
     
    And there are several specimens of students who, in all honesty, are lazy, not creative and plain dumb. I don't know any personally, I am not judging any students I know, but I have seen papers that were made with the magic that is Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V. Including hyperlinks and Url. And certainly is dumb.
     
    But it is not my intention to defend these guys. What I want to make clear, and though it is just my opinion:
    Wikipedia can be a very good source of information. Just because it is handy it doesn't mean the quality is bad.
    Why? Because by now they have quality checks on there.
    And who do you seriously think writes all these articles? It's certainly not some teenage prankster with fake dates for facts.
    I am pretty sure the writers of the wikipedia articles that are really important are people who know their stuff.
    Large Hadron Collider? Cancer? New form of the Malaria? Quantum physics.
    Now, I don't know how that sounds to you, but writing about that needs knowledge.
    Doctors, or other teachers themselves. Or a student editing in stuff from a book by a professor elaborating on a topic.
    Besides, the sources of the information in Wiki are listed.
     
    Adding on to that: Why do you think for presentation the teachers put us together in teams or small groups many times? Because working as a team can bring better results. And with so many people editing wikipedia I am pretty sure the essence of what is written there is mostly true.
     
    To sum it all up: I just want to make clear that schoolwork using wikipedia and similar sources is not worth less then schoolwork that used books and a library as resources for its claims.
    Of course using only wiki for your paper might not be the best thing, using a great source like that together with others is totally acceptable.
     
    So teachers, please cut the students some slack when it comes to internet-based research.

    Give me some water, I'm thirsty, I walked all this way alone
    Every single step, foot by foot,
    From somwhere out there, very far away from here
     
    I swam through the ocean, fed on water and salt,
    only to come here and finally see you
    I was in every desert one can think of
    Almost giving up to keep on moving
     
    I often took wrong turns, was blind for too long
    Everywhere and nowhere I searched for you
    And for years I walked through rain,
    Or were it tears? I don't know anymore
     
     
    If love is all that counts
    I will walk the same way for you again
    If love is all that counts
    then no price will be too high too see you
     
     
    Do you see the bag I carry with me?
    My history and my whole life are in it
     
    You can take it from me and burn it
    It is full of memories I don't want anymore
    Yesterday is worthless to me and tomorrow doesn't matter
    As long as you can promise me you'll hold me
     
     
    If love is all that counts
    I will walk the same way for you again
    If love is all that counts
    I will follow you to the ends of this world
     
     
    I want to believe what is written in the bible
    And what they taught us in every TV-show:
    that it doesn't matter in the end
    if you win or lose
     
     
    If love is all that counts
    I'd walk the same way for you again
    If love is all that counts
    I will follow you to the ends of this world
     
    No price is too high to see you
     
    "Was zählt" by Die Toten Hosen
     
    It's a German Punkband from my hometown, and this is my favourite song by them.
    No special intention behind this entry, just a cool song.

    Freedom!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    13 Years are over. 13 years of waking every morning at 7, having breakfast, going to school at 8 and coming back around 2 in the afternoon are done. 
    Today was my last day. Final exams are coming in 3 weeks.
     
    But until then, I'll enjoy myself and the free time!

    but darnit that party was worth to let out the animal for once  
    Can't believe I danced two hours straight through. (I don't know moves...I just start to move when the music kicks in. And I suck at smalltalk >_<)
     
    I am curious about tomorrows hangover victims.
     
    But why in the name did I sign up for the cleaning afterwards
     
    Anyhow, one of the most amazing days I've had!
     
    Pics come later.
  13. Vezok's Friend
    So today we got our certificates of acceptance today that will allow us to attend the finals and actually graduate. Except for a friend of mine. Because one of his grades is one point of. Darnit. He doesn't deserve that.
     
    How do you help a friend with a problem you have no influence on?

    So, April 1st has come and gone. All my property is still intact. 
    So is my dignity. Another April 1st survived without a prank.
     
    To everbody who fell victim to this most holy day of pranksters: My condolences.

    I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
    I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
    I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
    In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
    Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
    Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
    Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
    Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
    With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
    She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost
    I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
    Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
    But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
    And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
    I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
    And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
    Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
    I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose
    I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
     
    Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
    Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
    If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
    "Come in" she said
    "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
     
    -"Shelter from the storm"-Bob Dylan
    Never has this song been more appropriate.

    Hmmm...Isn't is supposed to be warmer outside? 
    More friendly, open?
     
    Sun shining, couples walking in the park?
     
    Instead it has been raining more or less constantly since Monday evening.
     
    Thank goodness I have my moms car right now.
     
    Otherwise I propably would have caught another cold already if I had to ride my bike now.
     
    6 days left in school...I still haven't really realized that it'll be over...

    Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
    People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
    You thought they were all kiddin' you
    You used to laugh about
    Everybody that was hangin' out
    Now you don't talk so loud
    Now you don't seem so proud
    About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
     
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be without a home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?
     
    You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
    But you know you only used to get juiced in it
    And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
    And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
    You said you'd never compromise
    With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
    He's not selling any alibis
    As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
    And ask him do you want to make a deal?
     
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be on your own
    With no direction home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?
     
    You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
    When they all come down and did tricks for you
    You never understood that it ain't no good
    You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
    You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
    Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
    Ain't it hard when you discover that
    He really wasn't where it's at
    After he took from you everything he could steal.
     
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be on your own
    With no direction home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?
     
    Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
    They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
    Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
    But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
    You used to be so amused
    At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
    Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
    When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
    You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
     
    How does it feel
    How does it feel
    To be on your own
    With no direction home
    Like a complete unknown
    Like a rolling stone?

    Is there a way to turn back time? 
    Or to teleport?
     
    I am in desperate need of a Vahi right now. Or an Olmak. Ignika wouldn't be bad either. I'd right a lot of wrongs. (Mine included)
     
    Seems life just doesn't work that way, does it, eh? I recall a time where I was pretty blue-eyed, but I was taught better. I guess in the end it all just comes down to how you deal with it. One can dwell in self-pity (or sadness or whatever it is you feel when you fail big-time) or suck it up and move on. And as a quick word of advice: The first option ranks right along emotional suicide. So better get all stuff together and start walking again. Because bad things happen no matter what.
     
    And sometimes your best just isn't good enough. And for those of you who think it is: Do not put yourselves on a pedestal just because you are convinced for some reason you are better. Because one day, sooner or later, your little tower of ego will crack. And then it's all about how you handle beeing no better then the rest, having the same flaws when you fall down back into the puddle. And do not blame or judge people only because they are human.
    And try not to give advice that you yourself can't follow. Or at least, try to follow it yourself if you give it.
     
    And no, I am not upset, depressed, angry, vengeful, spiteful, jealous, sad or anything right now. I've just done a lot of thinking lately. I suggest you do the same from time to time. Take an hour and reflect on where you are, where you want to be, what you got to do to get there, and where you need to improve and then do it.
    I am pretty sure everyone has an area where he/she can improve.

    No. Not an actual saying, just a songtitle by R.E.M. 
    Anyway. I was looking through the basement a few days ago and found my dads old guitar. Or not his guitar, just a guitar we owned. Anyway, I tuned it with some help and maybe if I invest enough time I can actually learn to strum a little.
     
    It's just more difficult to switch chords then I initially thought.
     
    And before any of those of you who actually play guitar for real feel inclined to give me tips: I've really just barely started. ^^
     
    Anyway, keep save everyone (yes. Everyone.)
