Chronicle 2: I'm Back (Plus An Announcement About My Comedies)!
V.M.Torious 4.0 posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_791
Hello BZPower Universe! It's been a while since I've posted anything at BZP, especially in the Comedies section in 2009. Well, here's a better intro for this... FINALLY... VM HAS COME BACK... TO BZPOWER!!! ...enough said. If you're wondering why I've changed my username from Vakama Montana0111 to V.M.Torious 4.0, then here's why. As I discovered the new forums, I wanted a brand-new, fresh look to my username and character from the previous forum and Bionicle is over. So, I decided to find something that sounds cool and Hero Factory-like. The first step was to take the first two letters of my screen name (the letters "V" and "M") and shorten it to make an initial (don't worry guys, "V.M." still stands for my former username, "Vakama Montana"). Next, it's time to find a word, or should I say, a word pun. As I was going through the Hero Factory Wiki, something came into mind, and the word "Victorious" came into my head, out of nowhere. So I merged "VM" and "Victorious" together like Lego bricks, and this became "V.M.Torious". Finally, I needed a version number. Since this is the fourth time using the Vakama Montana username, I opted for version 4.0. And that's how "V.M.Torious 4.0" was born. Oh, and you wanna know why I was gone for so long? Okay, here's the lowdown: I know that ever since I joined BZPower in 2007, a lot of things had changed, especially between 2009 & 2010, when Lego replaced Bionicle with Hero Factory. I have been mostly inactive during that time period, with the exception of posting in some of the BZP topics regarding about current events going on in the Lego Universe (I'm talking about Lego news and stuff, not the MMORPG game of the same name that's about to go offline in February 2012). And there's the "BZP Forum Shutdown Crisis of 2011", when BZP's forums went offline for sometime between Spring and Fall 2011. I was planning to make a comeback in the Comedies forum at that time, but I lost interest during that time period. So here I am, a month after the forums re-opened on BZP. As soon as I heard that the forums are going to re-open, I've began planning my comeback to the Comedies section, but for me, it took about a month for me to decide whether to bring back some of my classic comedies, or start all over again from scratch just like back in 2007. And this is where my huge announcement begins: I am bringing back some of my hit comedies to the new BZP forums! But, I need your help, guys, and this is the fun part! Here are the comedies that you will be voting on: 1. Inika Palace Hotel (season 1, a.k.a. the first 26 chapters) 2. Club Nuva 3. Bionicles on Lego Island 4. The Many Farces of Toa Tuyet (a spoof of "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet" by Greg Farshtey; this is going to be a remake) However, there is one exception. I will not be bringing back non-Bionicle parody comedies (for example, Nokama Montana, if any of you guys remember) because they have been either deleted from my old computer when I got a new one during this summer, or been removed from the BZP forums when they crashed in 2009. So vote for your favorite Vakama Montana comedy by mentioning only one of the four comedies listed above, but feel free to add your opinion on why you want that comedy to be brought back to the new Comedies forum. The comedy with the most votes by December 31, 2011 will be brought back in a re-mastered format (yes, that means cleaning up the script so that it looks nicer for the new forum) on January 2012! And here's another announcement... if the comedy that you voted gets enough replies on the new forum, then I will be writing new chapters of that comedy starting in Spring 2012! Good luck folks! And if you can't remember any of the comedies listed above, then here's a link to my old comedy library from the previous forum below: http://www.bzpower.c...howtopic=257718 Since it's in an archived state, please do not make new comments on the comedy libray. Have fun and enjoy the memories! ~ VM4.0 -
Things about my day: -Listened to Volbeat ALL DAY -Played more international Monopoly, against two Chileans and a Chinaman. The Chile girl won this time. > -Downloaded copies of Death Angel's cover of "Creeping Death", and Flotsam & Jetsam's "Damage, Inc." Both are awesome. -currently re-styling Rarity's hair with elastics, because it only half worked last night. All in all, a nice, relaxing (yet fulfilling) weekend. Though I just realized I have no played guitar at all for three days... darn. Also school tomorrow. D= Carry on.

By the upstairs toilet. Luckily, it happened in the one part of my room where I have nothing, but we had to cut half the carpet off and throw it out... yuck. Shall we say, a [Don't bypass the word filter. -Shine] end to a great day? EDIT: Confound this site. How am I supposed to make bad puns when every way to say it is censored?

I got a Rarity! It wasn't really awkward at all 'cause the cashier was really grumpy and only said "want a bag?" Anyway I got some pics here for some people: Pony Prices Me looking especially dorky with a pony So yeah. Now to style her hair properly... thank god there's a DA tutorial for that! Also new episode was awesome. Laughed a lot.

...for the first time. Ever. Against a Korean, a Chinaman, a Chilean, and a Mongolian. A good first win, if I do say so myself. CANADA REPRESENT YA'LL

So BZP choose a good weekend on which to go down. Why? Because this past weekend was THE. BEST. POSSIBLE. THING. 11/11/11: My brother's birthday (he's enjoying Skyrim, which he got the minute it came out at our local Gamestop; my two sisters, brother-in-law, sister-in-love (aka good friend), and I reimbursed him for it as our present to him), Veteran's Day, and two awesome friends spending the night. We went to an amazing show that night, which was awesome. Said friends spent the night. 11/12/11: The first day of a convention. This was the reason the friends spent the night. Them, my sister, and I all went to this con. I cosplayed as Sanji from One Piece, my friends as "Red-Haired" Shanks (One Piece) and Poland (Axis Powers Hetalia), and my sister as Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist). We had a voice actor/director there (Eric Stuart). He was awesome. The entire thing was fun. 11/13/11: Same as the day before. Had church first, though, and thus we were unable to enter the costume/skit contest. Still we got to see it. I got owned in the first round of a Brawl tournament. Had some more fun. Went to a church thing that night. Died on my bed when I got home. XD Unfortunately, there wasn't much pony merchandise. There were some awesome buttons, but I decided not to get them.

So I'm just going to say how I know a lot of great servers in the restaurant business, speaking as a known customer, or fellow employee, friend or even as a family member. I've watched these young people as they go through college, or motherhood, or just trying to get by working as a waiter or waitress. It's not easy. My dad once said if you ever work as a server then you'll have to humble yourself to make money. You have to put up with a shipload of angry people who may or may not care about making your life miserable while they eat the food you rushed out, and the whole time you have to put up a smile. You do all that for seven hours or so, and that's if you take single shift. Having to put up with that, and still being able to genuinely be kind and helpful and put on a good smile for your friends in real life and at the job, is someone who I consider a strong person. I've seen women put up with some real bull from male customers before, and I've seen young busboys only trying to get into the kitchen so there pay is hourly, breaking their legs as they rush around. And still these friends of mine are kind. I don't know, I was just laying down last night, and thought about all those loyal people I know before sleeping, thought I'd blog about them. lol Here's to you my friends. And now for an alternate story. I have this waitress, who every time I walk into the restaurant, I seem to get her table. She's got a nice personality, very pretty and our lives are kinda the same right now. She's about three/four years older than me, she knows I'm always going to order those sliders with fries, and we really don't talk too much, but always ask how each other are doing and give a story if we have one. And I leave a little better tip then the work she did, but hey she welcomes you, servers out food and then talks a little about her life and asks about yours. That's what a great server is and boy, I love my waitress. :3 Thanks for being so awesome!

4-day weekend woooo

Ever since watching the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode Sisterhooves Social, I've had a craving for apple pie.

Well, sort of. It's still super in-the-works, with only a rough guitar track as a guide so far, but it's my fifth attempt at a song, and the first to retain its charm overnight. The opening riff is almost too fast for me too play, but after some practice I'll have it. Just gotta' find a program that can make synthetic instruments for bass and drums... Unfortunately I uploaded it to that one video site, so I can't link it. So much creativity is unnoticed because of that rule. Anyway, if anyone cares to hear it, drop me a PM, and I'll set you up with info. I would much appreciate some feedback. Also very disappointed: Two entries in a row without comments! Where are my loyal subjects!?

-Am totally hooked on Th1rt3en. Haven't listened to anything else since Halloween. -New pony episode was great, but I found Rarity to be a little annoying this time around. -Have two more episode of Season 4 to watch before the finale of David Tennant -Watched The Mask Of Zoro last night for the first time in many years... such a great movie. -I want a Galaxy somethingorother smartphone. -Cinnamon Toast Crunch is an excellent way to start the afternoon off.

Well I really have not been active here, mainly because of a long strenuous two weeks ate school. The first marking period is just ending, so now stuff will slow down. I've been doing pretty much nothing, just writing down my thoughts(something that helps me think). I realize I sometimes say my thought out loud. Oh! I'm running for Freshman Class president, don't expect to win. I'm also thinking of joining the FBLA(Future Business Leaders of America). Well...goodbye.

I might have it. :ponyshrug:
-
Nothing major, I just helped out Kex with some problems he had with the label artwork, moving text and patching up holes and such. But still. IT'S GOING TO BE RELEASED AND I HELPED FOR PART OF IT. Such a cool feeling.
-
And I've no idea why.
-
The fact that I have no life was assured today when attempting to email my sprites to my school computer, it took me four zip files and three emails to get them sent.

Hey, I joined a Crew team last year, and was wondering if anyone else on BZPower enjoys rowing as much as I do. So, does anyone else participate?

So, a new Publix has opened near-ish to us. I heard they have pony cake with Twilight and Applejack, both with molded hair. And Pinkie Pie cupcakes, and a Pinkie Pie bubble blowing thing. I need to go there sometime soon.. Also, who thinks pink lemonade is more sour then yellow lemonade?

Well... I have none. I'm in my last year of high school, and I've no idea what I want to be... or rather, too many ideas. There's so much I enjoy doing, I don't know what to pick. Should I be an engineer? That involves lots of math, which I'm not too good with. How 'bout an architect? That's not a very well-paying job, and with the standard house designs they're not needed much. A Musician? The chances of succeeding there are so slim it's crazy. How about an artist? Same as music. A computer animator? I've not focused enough time on this to even know if I like it enough to pick a career of it. And then if I do decide... what do I do? How do I pick a college? How the heck do I pay for college/university? What about shelter and food? I've no money saved up, and my parents have been barely scraping by all these years. I've never lived poor, always had a good life with good things, but never any money to spare - so nothing from them. Grandparents maybe? Even so, there's no way they'll have anywhere near enough. I don't even have a starting job yet. What about a car for when I get my license in december? I can use my parents' for awhile, but after I move out? there's lots of you guys/gals that have been through this. Can anyone offer me some advice, or guidance? I'm sort of lost in the sea of the real world. I can't even focus on my math homework...

So I went to my first tournament on Saturday. I did extemporaneous speaking and impromptu speaking, which are the two limited preparation events. Extemp gives you a half hour to gather sources, impromptu just gives you two minutes to gather your thoughts (no sources required). I did much better on extemp, actually; but that may be partly because all of the questions were current events questions, and I follow the news closely (and critically; I'm not too trusting). I didn't make finals for either one, though; but hey, it was my first tournament, and I learned alot.

Sort of. My mom and dad went on a vacation for their anniversary, so they left me and my sister at home. The international students we have living with us (I'll blog about that later) had to leave, so we got the whole house to ourselves... ...And I'm the oldest, so all the responsibility falls on me. It's not a whole lot, but I'm usually so forgetful and lazy that it seems like a fairly large task. Just trying not to mess anything up, and keep the place clean-ish. My sister, however, has other ideas...

My friend in the military is coming home. A friend who got a medal, got trapped in the desert, almost got shot, was around when that one US helicopter was shot down, who's base was blown up by a bombing. He's coming home. He also recently became a Sargent. Son, I am proud.
