    Seems I've woken up too early.
     
    Summary: Those very few of you who I've privately told of things (in-depth) going on in this world and where I fit into it?
    True.
     
    Things are happening soon.
    Actually, they're happening right now already.
    My head explodes with things I'm thankful to know yet stabbed with not being able to discuss, be it about me or the darker things going on elsewhere.
     
    The world's getting ready to change again, brace for impact lol.
     
    Anyway, I probably won't be the same person (or have the same name in real life) when I get online again for good, so here's a pretty much finished (piloted!) moc I (apparently?) never had the opportunity to post.
    Schattengeist and Jinzo:

    (chest even unlocks to let head swing back to accommodate me)
     
    Don't fret the stuff I said. The reasons are good... mostly.
     
    Take care, kids.
     
    Hoo boy.

    I've been gone months now, still not technically back online.
     
    I'm commandeering this comp to plop this down before time obscures the memory...
     
    OK... it was late July 3rd, 2009.
    My wife got the (erroneously) brilliant idea that the fireworks stand up in Walmart's parking lot would be discounting things half price once the date turned to the 4th, to get rid of stock fast.
    We got there before midnight only to find no such luck. (D-duh!)
     
    We got along with the chick running the tent as she was just happy that SOMEONE showed up to bring in cash to fulfill her (too) lofty profit goals.
    While there, the power died and me and the friend with us ran up the hill to refill/restart her generator.
    After that, she got on religion and spent many minutes trying to convince me I "needed Jesus" to be happy while I was trying to convince her you don't need a god to be happy but aaaaaaaaanyway it was getting late and we decided to go.
     
    The next thing that happened was most interesting.
     
    Ghosts and psychic events have been a pretty "present" thing in my life since before I could talk... but UFOs? No.
    I saw a strange thing in the sky once or twice but never anything I'd call a UFO.
     
    A few very, very short moments after pulling out of the Coal Township Walmart's parking lot, we started going home on route 61, talking about the chick we just met fresh on our lips and keeping our minds alert.
     
    So, right as we were coming up over the next hill, I saw a motorcycle heading towards the plumbing outlet on the other side of the street.
    It had a headlight that was annoying... one of those ones that are mad brighter than the regular oldskool, yellower headlights.
     
    Then I noticed that I heard nothing.
    I stopped our friend in mid-sentence, pointed and said, "Now THAT'S cool.. It's like one of those electric motorcycles or something... the ones coming out where there's no engine noise and they sneak up on ya'."
     
    But it was wrong.
     
    We were all looking over at it, yet the back of my head was screaming, "DUDE... that's just a headlight. There is NO CYCLE attached!"
    And it was right. It WAS just a ball of light, following the road as a vehicle would and at an intensity only so much larger than an actual headlight.
     
    Not believing my own mind, I just kept watching it, at which point the light flickered a millisecond before returning to normal.
    I blurted out, "Ha! Looks like that guy has a loose wire to the headlight lol." However, I did that to keep both my passengers looking in it's direction with me, as it was sinking in that something really funky was going on.
     
    The light passed under the streetlamp in front of the plumbing supply store... I WAS RIGHT. THERE WAS NO MOTORCYCLE BEHIND IT.
     
    We were all so close to it, I actually started turning my neck muscles to get a good look as it as it passed.
    I yelled, "Oh my god, look at it, look at it!"
     
    At that moment, with all three of us watching, it instead veered off and when into the woods. No, not down the ravine, just... "into" the trees at the same level the street was, where it then vanished.
     
    I had slowed down prior to this in order to see it better, but resumed the speed limit in silence.
    I looked over at the other two and they're just like frozen with astonished faces.
     
    I was then like the chick in Blair Witch Project, going, "Did you just ******* see that?!? DID YOU JUST ******* SEE THAT!?! What the heck DOES that?!?" ...just not as annoying or terrified as her. (lol) It was actually kind of somehow funny, what we just saw.
     
    Unanimously, we all agreed "UFO". Going back to see if the grass or trees had been parted, like if a cycle had gone over it would have been pointless, as the thing, quite clearly, quite closely to our Dodge Caravan, had DEFINITELY not gone downwards but straight into the trees.
     
    (Just to be anal, the time on the clock was 1:26am).
     
    Yeah so... wowza...
    Finally a UFO story for me, just at street level.

    ...has now changed it's name.
     
    Now they're all the way at the end of the inter.net.
     

     
    I don't mind. "They" are still "them".

     
    Had one heck of a fun time figuring out how to wriggle back into the fold though.
     
    Kudos if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
    No one probably does, here...

    Next Saturday on Cartoon Network.
     
    NICE.
     

     
    Unfortunately, since I don't have cable, I watch TV online.
     
    Unfortunately, someone was foolish with their computer and now has none.
     
    Unfortunately, someone is prone to panic attacks if they don't keep their mind busy.
     
    So yeah, temporary sacrifice. I'll probably miss it when it airs.
     
    Who knows when I actually go offline and how long it'll be before I come back.
    I might be able to bop in here and there, but more likely it'll be a months long thing.
     
    If I vanish, that's where I am. And behave yourselves on the other site. Who knows WHO might be picking up my slack.
    They're a great bunch of people but no telling how much they'll put up with versus how lenient I am.
     
     
    (Ew, how curious... It's blog topic #73. Watch me get hit by a truck and have that get locked in lol.)
  5. JINZONINGEN 73
    Well, I went there for fists.
     
    But, a few hours later... I don't know.
     
    As usual, I just don't know.
     

     
    I guess I just can't pass a deal up, even if it THOROUGHLY derails getting parts I needed for half-completed mocs.

    Can you imagine what it'll be like for mods on websites like 5 years from now?
     
    I imagine a lot of messageboards will have video responses, as camera tech gets simpler and every off-the-shelf computer can easily handle the workload.
     
    Mods would have to WATCH every entry.
    They'll have to look for "illegal" things in the background, make discretionary calls on if someone's tone of voice is being snotty or not, decide if someone was dressed inappropriately, wonder if body language is implying anything not allowed...
     
    It's going to be a whole world of PAIN for them!

    Parting shot, for the topic was closed.
     
    CHAPTER73 : Jinzo's Trump card
     
    Alrighty.
     
    It's almost good I'm not going to open the discussion for this topic, because how people answered could have possibly changed my otherwise positive opinions of them.
     
    What am I saying? Of course I'll leave the discussion open! Who wants to live in a fool's paradise?!?
    A Moderator can lock it if the civility factor is compromised too badly.
     
    Here goes.
     
    Homosexuality.
     
    In some cases, it is a "lifestyle choice". Much as Michael Jackson, for WHATEVER reason decided to first change into a woman, then again into something eerily more necrotic-lookin', so too can one "choose" to be homosexual.
     
    From what I've seen, it's not the majority of them.
     
    Just like you and me, they are born, then wake up one day with a drumming sound in the ears.
    Unlike us, the beat of the drum only pounds around the opposite sex. Go fig? But that's the deal.
     
    Who else is like this?
     
    Who else is "born"?
     
    People of a different skin color.
    They are born, and by NO FAULT OR CHOICE OF THEIR OWN, they are what they are.
     
    So. Let me get this straight.
     
    One kind of person innocent of their body's attributes can write stories of romance... for if they were told they could not, BZ would almost certainly be sued and or wind up on the evening news.
    One kind of person innocent of their body's attributes has to just bite the bullet?
     
    Sure, sure, there's people who, by no fault or choice of their own, wake up and decide that immoral, humiliating, murderous acts against their fellow man is somehow "normal"... and while that's unfortunate, it is uncommon. Lives are at stake and people DEAL with it accordingly.
     
    But this?
     
    We already evolved fairly well to not slam a person for being a certain color on the outside.
    So how on earth is this going on with those a different color on the inside?
     
    Hideous. Though one more time, I do believe that a "wrong" was not the intention.
     
    Hopefully I have altered what was the real problem with the rule being enacted, which was merely the staff's perception of the situation.
     
    Well, the staff that agreed / authored it. It is ENTIRELY possible that the obvious parallel present between one being born a certain color and one being born to a certain disposition were missed.
    In fact, I missed it earl on in the discussion myself... despite it being slap-in-the-face right in front of me.
     
    Peace?
     
    Think no less than one minute on what you just read before even THINKING of hitting that reply button.
    You have all the time in the world to formulate a coherent, respectful statement of your position, should you disagree with mine.

    ...SO going to sculpt MIB the animated series action figures.
     
    The first movie had a few AWFUL toys come out.
    They were a horrid mess, except for a cool, giant gun that had a small alien figure inside it for (I guess?) calibration.
     
    So yeah... I'll either sculpt them myself or get people actually talented to do it.
    Then, release them to the more fan-like toy selling places after they've been fabricated.
     
     
    Aside from wondering how easy it'd be to execute something like this without subjecting some poor, asian children to a not so kid-friendly ennvironment, I wonder what figures should be concentrated on.
     
    Any ideas? Here's who I'm thinkin' of so far:
     
    Good guys
    ------------
    --Agent J
    --Agent K
    --Agent L
    --Agent... arg, dang, the alien agent, L's partner from the last season...
    --Zed (maybe packaged with the Twins?)
    --The twins (MIB control panel playset with bigscreen monitor behind them?)
    --The worms
    --Frank the Pug (news stand playset?)
    --Jeebs (pawn shop playset?)
    --The hot, offworld agent with blue skin that K dug.
     
    Bad guys
    -----------
    --Alpha (many a different version, as he kept cannibalizing parts of other species)
    --Vulture
     
    Vehicles
    ----------
    --L's hoverbike
    --The LTD
     
    Ideas, ideas? I KNOW I'm missing tons of stuff.

    Be warned, these are figure spoiler pics.
     
    I've seen all the Transformers 2 figures revealed so far (I'd say that's most of them in total).
     
    Hideous. They're ugly. Hated the first movie, hated those darn figures.
    ALL I bought of the first movie's figures was Meantime... a wristwatch guy that wasn't even in the movie!
     
    So anyway, here's 2 GOOD Transformers 2 figures i'll probably buy...
     
    The first is a "Fast Action Battler" kiddy version of the character. I might not get him in this size incarnation, but hopefully the larger versions stay true to this look.

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Lol, "DEVASTATION" Punch Action. Indeed, indeed.
     
    What's beautiful about this is while all the other figures look AWFUL, this one was designed (I think?) by a fan, from a picture that's been bopping around over a year now.

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As a result, it looks good.
    Pretty faithful.
    Pretty AWESOME.
     
    Second is a tiny scout figure. Not anything to scream about, but the body shape and definitely the coloring hits me good.

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 
    So there you have it.
    I haven't seen any other good looking figures. Even the main enemy the movie's named after is a bunch of Michael Bay droppings. And Jetfire... poor Jetfire. He's never looked so bad in his toy life. That's saying something, because the Animated one seemed like his lowest point.
    Still, I hope this means that if they do more movies, they'll use more fan designs.

    I dreamt i was in a poopy urban town of crime, but was needed to run mathematical junk on an outdated adding machine. Well, it was a city, but I was walking on a woodsy trail just a few blocks on the outskirts, where people go to do stuff they don't want people knowing about.
     
    I felt like I was me in this... even at one point realizing how stupid it was to be doing other people's work when it's just a dream world of THEIRS.
     
    Much more happened, but I hadn't jumped into my dream yet to tell me to hit "record". When I finally did arrive to talk to myself, the first me already felt too much cool stuff went on for hitting record NOW, so the dream was a loss.
     
    (Woke up briefly, went back to sleep.)
     
    I dreamt I was coming down market st, stopped at a light and messing around with a balloon I'd drawn a goofy face on... a black dude on a cycle a car or two back got whizzed as it bopped by, squeezed it then put something up to pop it lol.
    I dreamt i was traveling with some people, stopping at a junky store run by an asian lady on the outskirts of a town. They had used toys and i picked up some, one tiny $1 baggie containing some Lego minifigs with sand green robin hood caps.
    Later in the dream was me finding an old Beast Wars board game or something... the only thing left in it being a stasis capsule with trans purple canopy and an optimus primal figure with an ID4 alien pilot inside it... pretty tiny figure, non-transforming. Very junkily made.
     
    I dreamt there was a Toys R Us with Blade action figures... many weird things... only like 2 different Blades in the series. with tons of other strange, gimmicky characters.
    There were many a cool old transforming type robot, even some vintage Microman stuff, but no, I was looking for Blade figures. And just like when the first Blade movie figures were out, getting the more detailed, more weaponed Wesley Snipes one was being difficult.
     
    I dreamt of coming down Market St. and seeing a giant, technological blimp coming out above the mountains... it was very textured, may have had commercial writing on it, windows almost like a "bridge" area... then to turn this inset ribbon of like blades started spinning close to the outside of it's "tail", like some deep sea fish do.
    Immediately following it's turn, Jetsons type flying vehicles started to swarm from down that street (like where the local cab station is in this town)... we left to go down what was like the main highway here, RT.61, and entered the mountain to feel out the situation in a bunker type thing. One lady I didn't particularly trust told me that it was something... I forget the name... Nova or something.... and that it was a "normal" thing to be seen crossing the ocean (as if it were a normal, exotic, commercial vessel)...
    Later I was walking down Market into a no-man's land with 2 younger people... we went through almost a tunnel and I observed scorch marks on the road... a fire had been set and was put out, then it's remains scattered over about 30 feet. I noticed a stub of partially burnt paper... indicating that it was in fact documents from a credit service someone had burned in a big pile.
    We kept walking and went to the left, entering a type of woods-laden "block" from where I ued to live. We rounded the corner to walk down the dirt road, which had boulders off to the side... I walked up the boulders for the heck of it and noticed a melted thing on them... it appeared to be a soldering iron. I picked it up but the thing was thoroughly damaged, unusable, unfixable.
     
    Through all this dreaming I was at points possibly female and definitely short, younger, but possibly just "smaller".
     
    01/24/09
     
    The Clone Wars (lol)
     
    Guy and his Padawan are sent to a planet to secure SOMETHING. They make their way through brushy fields and into some thin woods. They make it either where they're supposed to be, or very close to it. Federation droids are pursuing them closely, but they're safe for the moment.
     
    The master feels things are going to get ugly soon, so he orders his Padawan to sneak back into and beyond enemy lines to get to a rendezvous point, possibly their landing craft to call for reinforcements.
     
    On the way, he is stopped by 6 or so indigenous creatures... they come rolling up in a ball, then stand erect. (Lol, they're like that toothy puffball, awful CGI character seen in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi... except they can stand up tall.) (NO WAIT, they're actually more like the awful thing in The Dark Crystal.) (In any case, they're BOTH freaking ugly Muppets.)
     
     
    He makes some kind of understanding with them even though they're not talking his language. He realizes if these creatures are still alive this far back where the enemy's been, that their ship probably hasn't been compromised... leaving him time to go back and help out his master.
     
    He returns within a few yards to where he left off, only to see his master blasted from afar.
     
    He turns tail while his presence is still unknown and returns to his ship.
     
    A republic vessel out in space gets his transmission.
    The ship's interior is HIGHLY technological. There's thin, glowing blue circuitry lines EVERYWHERE, even in the floor. The metal or whatever is all very dark. Very 80's anime.
     
    The person answering him is a much more buff Amidala looking chick in a dark and yet silvery robe which goes great with the surroundings as if technological in itself. Sitting inside a solitary com room, he tells her how everything's hit the fan where he is. She orders him to go see some allied princess... but there's ever so slight a treacherous tone as she describes he will be helping her with her "cats" (as in like, he's going to be eaten?) ...but he doesn't pick up on this.
     
    The republic woman leaves the com room, telling the head Jedi there what the deal is (or at least her edited version of it).
    They're about to jump to hyperspace, so com rooms are off limits for the moment.
     
    Regardless, she enters another one, kneels in the center and calls up Darth Sidious, kissing his butt and putting herself down respectfully in his presence. "This is your loyal servant, if you can still find it to call me so" ...that kind of stuff.
     
    He gets briefed with what's going on with the Padawan and tells her just to sit tight and await further instructions.
    She exits, then goes down the hall to a room where it's safer to be be seated and strapped down during hyperspace jumps. (Maybe because the vessel is so technological, hyperspace is more awesome somehow?)
     
    The Jedi master comes by, ready to yell at ANYONE for using a com room at the last moment, but turns to an old woman exiting one instead of yelling at the traitor.
    "You are NOT supposed to use those this close to jump!"
    She silently acknowledges having broken a rule while at the same time having a face of condescending arrogance.
    As the old woman exits into a different "jump room", the Jedi looks at the traitor and mumbles something about, "OLD people."
     
    He leaves her but feels something wrong as he walks down the hallway. The special ship they're on (or some larger mission) is having problems as far as some plan goes, so the Jedi goes into a room to quickly get a moment's meditation.
     
    He calls on older spirits of Jedi for clarity, going through names... "blah blah, Obi Wan, Yoda, blah blah, blah blah... ... ...Wait. You... What are YOU doing there?!?"
    Apparently the truth of the situation is revealed in the fact that the Padawan's master has wound up side by side as a consultant over in the spirit world.
     
    Then I wake up.
     
    (Something messes this dream up from perfectly being an episode of Clone Wars. Obi and Yoda are dead already lol.)

    LOL... anybody watch Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles?
     
    In an older episode, the girlfriend of John hands him a gift of this HIDEOUS pile of Lego bricks stacked up in a 3-year old's rendition of a "robot".
    In a later episode, (Expert Lego Mocer) Cajun was commissioned to build this giant freaking building that the liquid Terminator chick had as a present for her daughter.

    I just watched S02E14, and this young intelligence is sitting at a table playing with Mistika figures, talking about how god made humans in their image and he was made in their image... then wonders why god didn't give our knee and elbow joints ball socket joints, because they're better lol.
     

    He also read the bio to Tahu Mistika and Solek to the FBI guy, swishing them around in the air and spinning his weapon... riotous.
    X D
     
     
     

     
    But more to the point... how much Lego pay them for such in your face exposure? This goes pretty far beyond a blurry image of a toy sitting on a bookshelf in some dumb sitcom. This is like... right up to the camera lens lol.

    Yesterday... a different site:

     
    Eheh... I ask you, does this look ANYTHING like a gun for BBC #52?
     

     
    http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/JINZONIN...detrack_002.jpg
    http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/JINZONIN...detrack_003.jpg
     
    No, no it does not.
     
    Can't complain though. Getting sidetracked one night and creating something COMPLETELY WRONG is oodles better than procrastinating and doing nothing at all.
     
    One minute I'm going through bins looking for parts, next minute I'm segregating minifig parts, then... I build a base for them to hang around in.
    On a good note, if I can do THAT in one night by "accident", then maybe one of the remaining nights I'll actually do a gun.
     
    Now... to recreate the same mocing conditions and try again... hand-rolled menthol cigarettes... a few pots of coffee... and a marathon of uncensored, fan-restored, "lost" Beavis and Butthead episodes.
     
    On to season 3! : D

    Got this through a viral email.
     
    I'm guessing this is legitimate?
     
    If so... wow?
     
    I'll let the text of the email do the talking...
     

     

     
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    I'm not sure how I feel about this design. Oh, it's COOL-lookin'... it's nice there's no more "low air pressure" poop one has to worry about, no flats... but...
     
    I dunno'. They look like things would be disastrous if the rubber spokes failed, like worse than having an air-filled tire fail.
    At least with a flat, you still have a big, gushy THING there to act as a wheel, however lame.
     
    My BIGGEST concern is temperature. What's it like driving cross-country in the summertime through 110 degrees fahrenheit days?
    What's it like on a cold winter morning that's 30 degrees minus?
    What happens when you have a tire sitting in one position over the course of a few months... does the oval shape alter the circular memory of the rubber?
    Aren't those thin spokes just asking to be sabotaged by people who don't like you... I mean, you KNOW instantly when you have a flat... but snipping 2 or 3 of these spokes?
    Questions, questions...
     
    Whatever the case, they're aesthetically pleasing. About time we get an update to the ol' air bladders we've been staring at for like almost a hundred years lol.

    THE FOLLOWING ENTRY AND LIKELY ALL IT'S POSTS ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS ON INDIANA JONES 4, IF YOU HAVEN' T SEEN IT YET.
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «At the start... the kids in the car and the entire military caravan is driving with their lights on... in the daylight. 
    Under the bright sunlight, the kids are hooting and hollering like morons... well, they must have been doing it an awful long time as the caravan only breaks off from them once twilight hits... and they're STILL flipping out like kids who just broke out of recess.
    Such stamina.
     
    The trucks that JUST broke off from the kids at twilight are now entering a security checkpoint... and it's sunny again.
     
    Magnetic box was SO magnetic that it could suck gunpowder through the air like a cloud towards it, as well as suck up bullet casings from many feet away... but rifles of soldiers were unaffected. Worse yet, they lifted it up onto a truck and it didn't stick to it.
     
    Morning, with a bright morning sun... ...there they are with their headlights on again.
     
    Ridiculous CGI prairie dog just sitting there a handful of feet away from a refrigerator that JUST came slamming down right in front of it.
     
    Why. Why. WHY are there little monkey boys wearing skull masks jumping around a long-forgotten cemetery as it's guardians?
    what the I don't even
     
    Why. WHY are the (blatantly CGI) scorpions making a chattering sound? Why are they swarming a person's body?!?
     
    Monkey scene. I just saw the monkey scene. And now, for the first time in my life, my eyes have seen something SO moronic that I'm contemplating suicide.
    What do I have to live for? To think back to this moment every day of my life?
    ... ... ...OH GOD and now the monkeys are fighting the bad guys for the good guys. What... just... what.
     
    Ants. BIG dang ants. Fair enough, for such things do exist. In real life, their bottoms are full of a sugary water that they use I think to grow yeast in the colony to eat. At that point though, they can barely walk. These ones are running.
    Fast.
    But enough of this. See, just like the skull-masked monkey boys, just like the scorpions, these ants... yes, these ants are chattering too. Oh, and I've decided how I'm going to end it all. I'm going to finish out this movie. When the forensics guys come, they'll look at my computer monitor and have to report that the cause of death was "Indiana Jones 4". If it saves just one life, this won't have been in vain.
     
    Ok... those ants. They like, just picked up a large Russian man. Then carried him away. Into an ant mound that had a human-sized hole on top.
    I feel like I've been kicked in the lower regions... except it's my brain.
    On a good note, I think I want to live now. I'll be eternally tormented, but I'll be eternally tormented while sitting on a beach in Malibu, being served hard drinks by chicks who can't possibly find me interesting.
    That's right. LAWSUIT. With this one clip in hand, I CAN NOT lose.
     
    Still broad daylight, still headlights on for no apparent reason. >__<
     
    Aaaand now so apparently are the headlights and spotlights on the aquacar.
     
    Oh freaking no. More monkey people. And they're breaking out of stone walls, like they were cocooned there awhile, just waiting for people to happen upon a secret cave behind a waterfall. You know, the kind of junk that happens every day of the week.
     
    Beyond that, the usual awfulness was in this movie... every time one finds a treasure, they MUST exit a chamber to find armed soldiers who apprehend them.
    There MUST be a villain who gets the power they wanted and can't handle it. There MUST be a villain who tries to snag as much loot as an ancient place is crumbling around them right before they die.
     
    And, of course, the enemies, though armed to the teeth, can NOT hit a target for beans, even at close range... all through the movie.
     
    I'm not sure why I watched this. South Park already gave me the relevant spoilers. I guess I just had to verify their data for myself.

    Well. That wasn't at all weird.
     
    I'm sitting here reading some paranormal junk online.
     
    I'm getting into it.
     
    Then... from across the room...
     
    "DIE, SPIDERMAN!"
     
    "I want to eat your brain!"
     
    "HIIIIISSSS!"
     
    ...
     
    ...
     
    ...Lol... this electronic, talking backpack that came with a Spiderman Venom figure I bought back in, oh, 1991 went off.
     
    It has three buttons on top.
    To make it do what I just described, you need to press the first button.
    Then the second.
    Then the third.
     
    If you press them all at once, that doesn't happen.
     
    So, I get up to find it.
    It's just sitting there, out in a clearing on my shelves.
     
    Nothing's touching it and the cats were all asleep, it actually having woken them up.
     
    The air is not moist, so it's not like moisture or dampness made the contacts connect.
     
    Go... figure...?
     
    Last time something like this happened was around 1999-2000. My cat was known for stepping on this little clown noisebox that made an eerie laugh. She could step on it perfectly on the first try, studying the nose button, then specifically pushing JUST the nose to make it go off.
     
    She died at some point... then one night soon after I'm there online talking to a chick I knew, telling her of how sad and lonely I was that she wasn't there anymore.
    And then, from upstairs... "Hhhhhhhhhhhoooooeeeeeh hhhhhheeeeeeeeehhhhh heeeeeeeeeehhhhh..."
     
    The batteries were long since depleted, but the box came on anyway. Again, no external factors seemingly involved.
     
    NO idea why this box went off though.
     
    Kooky.

    Someone brought a PS2 and the Aerosmith Edition of Guitar Hero into our home.
     
    I avoided it like the plague.
     
    It's just not "me".
     
    So every day this goof would come over and play it and SUCK, SUCK, SUCK.
     
    I'd wake up and hear people booing to his playing.
    It was like, "THE DREAM POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR ME!
    EV-ERY SING-GLE DAY *SCREECH!* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
     
    And again. And again. And again.
     
    So, I picked up the "guitar" (lol) and started playing. Nightmare. Didn't even get 28%.
    Next day, second play, 32%.
    Next day, third play, 38%.
     
    So today I CRINGED at waking up to the freaking "Dream Police" song again.
     
    I went downstairs, took the guitar... beat it?
    Then the next? First try? Next. First try?
     
    And it just kept going... I beat like 11 songs all in the first try, then escaped out of the room when he left to go outside for something lol.
    I'd probably have gone straight to the end, no joke.
     
    I'm no instrument player, never was. I just don't see me doing stuff like that.
    I have to admit, I was kinda' surprised. I was actually bopping up and down (must've looked like a freaking MORON) to the music... it's not even my kind of music.
     
    I do admit though, due to the DISGUSTING BARRAGE of airtime Aerosmith was given in the 90's, none of the music was exactly alien.
     
    And I did feel an odd sense of... awesome ...when kicking "Living on the Edge" pretty perfectly.
     
    ...I better keep away from that thing... Don't want to get addicted and end up like Stan and Kyle.

    In 20 questions, it guessed wrong with "Setsuna F. Seie from Gundam 00".
     
    Then at question 29 it goes, "Does your character have an older brother?"
    DDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAANG.
     
    Oddly, at question 30 it asked, "Does your character have a brother or sister?"
    ...which is weird, because I'd just answered that.
     
    But then...
     

     
    Derek Wildstar from Starblazers.
     
    It got DEREK freaking WILDSTAR from Starblazers.
     
    Freaky...

    Don't know the artist's name, but what a neat study in perspective.
    Looks like he takes commercial commissions. Love his use of "props" during the shoots lol.

    You know what you never see photoshopped? Real-life anime people.
     
    You have humans dressing up as anime characters.
    You have humans with human bodies and giant anime head masks on.
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...animeisreal.jpg
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...me_eyes_lol.jpg
     
    But there's no photoshops of anime characters in like real lighting situations or with realistic skin draped over a 3D model?
     
    It's hardly like there wouldn't be a demand for such strangeness. I mean look at the internet. Just LOOK at it.
    If it exists, somebody has a fetish for it.
     
    But where are they? People do amazing works of art based on their favorite characters from anime and games...
    ...but the most obvious form to bring them closer into their reality is overlooked? Huh? What?
     
    Examples:
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN...awesome_irl.jpg
     


     
    ...but from anime. How can this not be a rampant fad on the internet yet?!? Aren't there more like these?
