    I just recently made a little MOC that I thought would make a perfectly good Rahi to be in the Swamp of Secrets this year. To give you an idea of what I could look like, it's a flying frog. As soon as I make a good bio and take a few pics of it, I'll post it in the BBC forums. So, look for it there!

    So, that's the question I want to see answered by you guys. Many of you have seen me around the forums (Sets & GD), so from the content of my posts and my time here, do you guys still consider me a newb/noob or a "regular member"?
     
    Please be serious and truthful.

    Hello BZPower members. You may have read about many people's colorful opinions for and against the Mistika. While I respect and understand both sides of the argument, I have grown sickened and tired of all of the bashing and irrational arguments against the Mistika.
     
    To combat this, I am forming a little "league" or club, whichever you prefer, to "stick up" for the Mistika.
     

    Anti - Mistika Bashing League Guidebook
     
    Motto:
     
    "No Mistika should be bashed!"
     
    Goal:
     
    We, the members of the Anti - Mistika Bashing League pledge to defend the Mistika to the ends of the World Wide Web wherever they are bashed and flamed.
     
    Rules:
    No flaming or spamming any member who bashes the Mistika. If a member gets in trouble because of a Mistika involved flamewar, the League is not responsible. Also, the League will cut all ties from that member and that member will be banned. You will follow all club related directions given by me or by your club superiors. League Roster:

    This League is not meant to forcibly make people like the Mistika, but defend the Mistika whenever someone says they hate them because "they are epic fail", "are ugly", etc...

    Wow... I haven't updated this blog in a loooong time. Well, I'll let you read this entry as I sweep up the cobwebs.
     
    About the set review I told you about, I won't post it yet since I'd rather download it straight to the computer instead of texting it to my email address (which takes forever). However, don't fret, I'll get the review written and posted as soon as I get a microSD chip for my cell phone camera and a card reader for that. So, that'll take some time.
     
    Also, I'm thinking about getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh!. Why? Well, there's a new structure deck released though it's been out for a while that I haven't bought any copies of and I recently found the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Topic (hopefully, no flamers reach this one ). So, do you guys think I'm making a good choice or a bad one and please describe a little on your reasons. I think I'm going to buy the cards again anyways but I just wanna see your opinions.
     
    Thanks,

    Cell Phone

    By ~ShadowBolt~,

    Yes, I know that I said I would get a cell phone in the mail yesterday. Well, guess what! It's still stuck somewhere in the United States Postal Service. Grrreat!
     
    I was kind of disappointed yesterday because it didn't come and the "genius" that my Mother ordered from on the phone said it would come in 48 hours. By the way, she ordered it on Thursday and yesterday was Saturday (do the math). Next time, if the mail delivery for something takes several days, I'm adding another 24 - 48 hours on the prediction.
     
    Anyways, my Mother called yesterday, and the "genius" on the phone said it would come either Monday or Tuesday. So that means if you apply my "clever equation" to this. Don't expect it to come on Wednesday or Thursday.
     
    By now, I'm sure most of you are wondering what kind of phone I'm making a big fuss about. Well, it's a Verizon Samsung Alias™ – SCH–u740 in Black. The phone is a normal talk phone with a QWERTY keypad so you can text really easily. Any ways, if you want information on the phone; go to www.verizonwireless.com and type in "Samsung Alias" in the search box. Sorry I can't post a link, I tried but for some reason the page is always unavailable.
     
    So, here you go! A picture and information about my first phone, if you take the time to look for it. Whenever If I get it, I will probably definitely (eventually) post a review of it, so keep your eyes peeled on this blog!
     
    Also by the way, I think I'll just stick with ~SB~ as my sign off, but feel free to keep posting your input in the blog entry below.

    Cell Phone

    By ~ShadowBolt~,

    Hello Fellow BZPers,
     
    Today, I once again type in another entry in the saga of my first cell phone(s).
     
    Note: To avoid further confusion we all got the same phone.
     
    Remember when I got a Samsung Alias Wireless phone a few weeks ago? Well, apparently, my parents didn't like it very much as the keys were too small and confusing for them and the calls kept disconnecting. (I never had the problem since I texted instead of calling. I hate talking on phones.)
     
    So we got a new phone but we still have the same company, Verizon. The phone is a LG enV. Have you guys seen a tMobile Sidekick? Well, that's what this phone looks like (kind of). The front looks like a plain non-flip phone with a d-pad, a screen, and dialing buttons on it but when you flip it open on a hinge, it opens to reveal a horizontal QWERTY keyboard layout with the d-pad on the right side. Very cool.
     
    What I like about the phone is that the camera on it is much better and hopefully I'll be able to post MOC's on here using it. Also, I love the fact that I can do most things with the phone closed including using the camera, texting, talking (if I ever use it ), and accessing the menu too instead of opening the phone.
     
    What I don't like about it is that I'm having a little bit of a hard time texting (ironically) because I was used to my old phone and I don't like how some buttons are laid out. Also, the Alias automatically capitalized the first letter in every text message I typed and the first letter after every period. Very helpful but the enV doesn't do that.
     
    One of my favorite things about the enV is that it has a pretty good 2 megapixel digital camera built onto it. For those of you who are not "camera savvy" a 2 megapixel would be the digital quality of a 3 or 4 year old camera. Now the norm is anywhere from 6 to 8 megapixels I guess.
     
    I recently took a picture of my cat and you could see all the locks of fur on his chest. That's really good for a phone camera.
     
    That's all for now and I might write a review on this phone.

    First Entry

    By ~ShadowBolt~,

    Well, welcome to my blog. As you can see right now, it's pretty bare and dull but hopefully, I'll be able to brighten it up (with some help). I plan to have images, quotes, and who knows what else in my Content Blocks. So, for the first few weeks, please excuse this blog's messiness as I am trying to figure this stuff out.
     
    Today was/is a pretty exciting day. I'm going to get a new cell phone in the mail, I got a new email address, and of course this Premier Membership.
     
    That's all for now and please don't ask me to give you my cell phone number or my email address, that's private.

    Hurrah!

    By ~ShadowBolt~,

    Finally, after years three days of wait, my cell phone has finally arrived! Now my Mother has to get home from work and then she'll activate it. So that means for the next hour or so, homework and manuals await me! Expect a review on the phone in a week or so and a few updates on it.
     
    I turned it on though I can't call or text but I looked around the menu and the phone has a camera for pictures and videos and it has a calculator. Perfect for figuring out the sizes and prices of Bionicle Sets world wide.
     
    So today was a pretty good day (for me at least).

    I finished building Takanuva and he is impressive, so I'll just say a few things.
    He wasn't as big as I thought he would be, but I guess that's from not comparing him to the other Phantoka yet... I love Takanuva's mask because it resembles the Avohkii, but it's smaller than I thought it would be. You won't hear me complaining about it though, becausde it looks like it can fit and look "normal" on a standard Toa-Moderator. He looks like a normal enlarged Toa, but I loved how Lego gave him the corrupted look on his hands, shoulders, and mask... The claws are a bit weird from the angle the designed it at, but if I postition them right, I guess they look pretty good. The people who said they didn't like Takanuva's back are a bunch of babies. No seriously, I admit it looks a little rough, but it's not that bad at all. I wish the gaps on his shins were covered up a little bit, but I don't mind it as it is only a little detail. I wish the Matoran limbs on his back were either silver or that the silver Mantax claws on his shoulders were gray... The silver claws and light gray should either be replaced with dark gray or more gunmetal.
    That's all I have to say now, so any questions?

    Today, my homeroom teacher gave me his collection of Wheaties boxes. Y'know, the ones with sports players on them...? Anyways, I'm glad to have them and I hope to sell them either on eBay or keep them? Also, does anybody know of any websites that have the prices for Wheaties boxes?
     
    By the way, the ones my teacher gave me were collector ones and some of them were valuable.

    Woot! I finally have Bionicle Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets and it definately was worth the wait... Greg did a really good job with the shocking twists and suspense. Can't wait for the final battle!!!!
     
    Oh yeah... could somebody PM me a text copy of the second part of the "The Kingdom". No Adobe Reader on my computer... :blush:

    For those of you who are dying to see them, it's not anytime soon, so most likely, I won't be the generous BZPer to bring you the first pics.

    Okay. My parents just told me that we are going on "vacation" to Virginia to visit some relatives. While I'm there, we'll take some time to visit the Lego store in Tyson's Corner mall near Washington D.C. I've been there before and that's when I got the Mahri.

    I'll be going in late July so I'll have an EXTREMELY high chance of finding the Mistika there.

    Until then, I'll be saving up money and building up my bank account which took a recent big hit from buying Vamprah and Toa Ignika to build the Niazesk (I already had Pohatu).

    I'm A Lawyer!

    By ~ShadowBolt~,

    Not exactly... But my class is having a mock trial in Social Studies and I'm the prosecutor. I'm really surprised about how smoothly this trial is going because the other lawyer (defending lawyer) is not doing a very good job. She's not the most assertive person in the world but anyways, we are having fun.
     
    If you guys care, the case is about one person in my class stole a "minature pony" from a farm that he works at under suspicious circumstances but he returned it two days after he "stole" it. Any questions/advice?

    The biggest thing that disgusts me here on BZPower and on other forums is the fact that many people irrationately bash the Mistika and there are very few people around here to keep that in check and argue against them.
     
    To counter that, I am starting a club that anybody is welcome to join. Our goal will be to argue and defend the Mistika every time a BZPer bashes or states (if it's reasonable to argue against it).
     
    That's all I have to say for now and I'll think of the details at some point.
     
    Any questions?

    Finally, my blog is complete! First, I would like to say to look at the rules on the right Content Block column. Especially number three before commenting. I know some of you suggested keeping all of the content blocks on one side, well I actually prefer them on both sides and rule number three will take care of the problems.
     
    Any questions, comments, or suggestions (other than moving the content blocks)?

    I was the last person to post in the old Official 2008 Sets Topic before it got closed. Even odder, I posted after Kex/Skullcruncher closed the topic.

    Anyways... I think it's time we take a moment and think back on a great era, a very spammy era of the Official 2008 Sets Topic.

    Hopefully, the new one will be much cleaner.

    Like my title said, this week is my last week of school until the summer. Problem? This is my last year at my current school and next year, I'll be going to a different school (a high school) closer to my house and it really is going to be different. Eh... I'm more worried about summer and the Mistika...
     
    Any questions?

    As you all know, it's Easter Sunday so let me say this, Happy Easter!
     
    Traditionally, Easter baskets full of chocolate and jelly beans are hidden somewhere for young children to seek. Also, you may find a sugary marshmallowy treat inside your basket. Do you know what I'm talking about?
     
    Peeps of course! Those cuddly marshmallow chicks and bunnies covered in yellow or pink sugar. We all love to eat them and sometimes play with them. But do you know where they're made?
     
    So that's my question of the day. Where are Peeps made?
     
    To entice you guys to guess, I have a big small prize. Premier Members who guess right will get their blogs (if they have one) rated by 5 stars and get a Blog Approval from me. Normal Members and Premier Members who don't have blogs will get their star ratings rated 5 by me. I know these prizes are cruddy but I'm cheap so be happy.
     
    This contest ends sometime tomorrow evening (my time). So get guessing!
