This happens to be my brother's sport bike. Rides it all the time. For some odd reason, I am just tempted to buy one for myself. Of course, mine would be a better model than his. -Omi

It was a pleasent surprise to log on Sunday night and find that the Haven had been named Blog of the Week. And because I'm such a super guy, I'm passing the fun right on to you! That's right, for one day only...it's a Hybrid House Party! Since they're currently taking a break from being in the storyline, I've managed to get the Nuva to make an appearance. Kopaka pretty much knocked everybody down on his way to the DJ table. Lewa's currently showing off his rendition of the worm, and Pohatu is apparently trying to convince us all that it doesn't take a Mask of Life to bring Disco back from the dead. Tahu and Gali.....I haven't seen them around. I think they're off doing the things couples do. Walks in the park, moonlit picnics, you know the usual. Meanwhile, Macku is in the corner worrying about Hewkii, while Onua tries to cheer her up with his best beatboxing. It's quite impressive really. I don't know if Takanuva is going to show up. He's been having Ussanui troubles as of late, and you know how it is with vehicles. It sometimes cost more to fix it than it's worth. On the other hand, Makuta is apparently on his way, and I heard he's bringing Tic Tac Throw. Gotta love a party that has Tic Tac Throw. The rest of the guests will be arriving throughout the night, so make sure you stop by and say hey. I'll be tending the bar tonight, with all the pixie sticks and other niceties you've come to expect from my parties. If the Manas out front gives you any trouble, just drop my name...they'll step aside.

Well looks like I got myself another mission. Ashley's house is apparently haunted. Some serious stuff happen within the household, so it is pretty much not suitable for BZP, cuz its that serious. She says I can have a look around her house, mainly the basement (source of all problems apparently). -Omi

Oh man you guys willll love how Bionicle is presented this year. -Omi

Yeah. Thats right. Omi is a cosplayer. So what. So far I only cosplayed as Cloud *points to pictures on left*. Right now I am working on a Vincent Valentine, and thinking of making a Roxas or Axel (cuz my ex wants me to). Woot! -Omi

Today's sort of an off-day in my life. The Twins are playing in about five minutes, and I've got some packing to do before the weekend. In the meantime, I've got some fic planning to do, and a bit of money managment to take care of. In short terms, today's entry is just a quick summation of what's going on. Fic News: After a few years, I've finally completed The Alliance. Don't think it's delays are indicitive of what another Epic would go through. I made the mistake of not taking notes of where I was going during The Alliance, so it sorta got lost a few times along the way and I need to take some time to get it back on track. In other fic news, I've entered Epics Contest #5. If you're interested, feel free to take a look at my entry. The requirements for the contest ended up sliding nicely into something I have wanted to do for a while. Inuva News: I've come to the conclusion that the Inuva is a story that must be told. And I've secretly been in the planning stages for the last week or so. What does this mean for you? Well, if all goes well...I should have a sneak peek at the fic by this Friday. If it's anything, it'll be a prolouge. I'm really excited by what's coming together as I'm jotting notes. As things get going, I may post scans of the writings I've been making...making the Inuva Section a potential author's commentary. Site News: My website hasn't been updated in a while, mostly because the system that lets me upload to the campus server appears to be malfunctioning right now. There's some stuff on my home PC that will get uploaded once I'm on campus (as in a few days). The comic has been sorta on a hiatus, as I've been strapped creatively trying to finish The Alliance and brainstorming for the Inuva. Expect it to get kicked off once I'm back in classes...as it's usually there that I get inspiration. Party News: Thanks to those who stopped by the house party on Monday. But whoever it was that used the bathroom last, thanks for not cleaning up. Makuta's still complaining about cheating during Tic Tac Throw, and Takanuva is starting to suspect somebod messed with his Ussanui. The rest went off without a hitch though. Schizo's Pirate Piñata was a hit, Lariska ended up breaking it open and was pleased with the contents. Though she did suggest next time to include some poison with which to dip them in. Well, that will wrap it up for today's...wrap-up. Stay tuned in the next few days for a potential exciting peek into the world of the Inuva. And also to see if I manage to come up with a title for the dang thing between now and then.

<< >> You. Yeah you. Come over there. Don't worry. I will bite. << >> Yeah. Well you wanna hear a bit of juicy grapefruit? Er... I mean gossip. Well you can't tell anyone I told you this. It tends to get some... people upset. Well it turns out that Spitteh runs a comodore 64. YA RLY. His monitor even has 'Etch A Sketch' on the side. His modem has a 2 bit conection. Fo real. Now don't get me started on Lady Kopaka. No seriously. Dont. I tend to get vulgar. Bleh, Cee is a whole new ball park... if you know what I mean. He's running a 286. I asked him 'What kinda chip are you using?' He said 'A Dorito.' And then I said 'I like grapefruits, if you know what I mean.' So that's your daily bit o' gossip... if you know what I mean. You know what I mean.... right?

That is my tattoo. I love tattoos. Got this baby last fall. And since then, I been wanting more. So I been going through some designs for future tattoos, because I plan on getting at least 5 more. These are a few designs I consider getting, especially the Aerith and Cloidy Wolf. Aerith happens to be the second one that I shall be getting. -Omi

No more headaches, for now. And I would like to say thanks to certain people (you know who you are ) for helping me out with BF. -Omi

So I'm a hat guy. I wear hats. Lots of hats. Can't get enough of them. I have like 8 hats, 6 of them being baseball caps (yet no teams). Plus a bandana. However, my hat urge has sprung up again, and I got myself a new hat. Nice black flex fit. Can't say whats on it, since yeah. Lets just say its a bunny logo. -Omi

The summer days are flying by at too quick a pace to even realize what's going on around me. In a few weeks, I'll be in my apartment preparing to graduate from college. I'll be on the job hunt, and quite possibly moving to some new state. But through all the changes that have come in my life...there has remained one constant. BZP has marched on. 2001 seems so very long ago, but I remember the first day I joined a little community out in the middle of no-web. It was Bionicle Zone at the time, and only had 20 or 30 members tops. I remember following a chain of links...starting at what was a downed Xitan's, to a rival site which shall remain nameless. I followed a random link, and found myself here. I was 16 at the time, and had never been a member of an online community before. But something about BZ felt right. It was just getting started, had a small group, and everybody seemed nice. Heck, it was linked off of a site called RedDimension...and the topic of the day was a slide puzzle of the creator and his daughter (I really hope I remembered that correctly). There were a few threads on custom designs people had built. Proudly I started a thread displaying Whiringa Toa, my first MOC. Being the newbie I was, I tried to link the pictures from my home computer. Thankfully the one and only Staffer at the time helped me out, and in time I was posting pictures of all my creations. And though I've matured over the years...my MOC skills seem to have stuck at the point I was all those years ago. Thankfully though, I can credit BZP with helping me develope my netiquette. There are a few other forums I visit. BZP is without a doubt the largest, but out of all of them it's also the friendliest. Though one would expect a forum based on a toy would have such a community...I could easily show you examples where that isn't the case. And all of that can be attributed to the staff members that have come, gone, or stayed throughout BZP's history. I remember when I was offered a posistion on the staff as moderator of General Discussion. I remember being put on the staff in charge of the growing Completely Off Topic (which at one point was home to "Bionicle After Hours"...BZP's once and former Nightclub). Ah yes, Rahi Master. One of my best buddies on this forum. The two of us cause quite a it of havoc in our day....quite possibly being part of the reason that CoT no longer counts towards post counts. Anybody who was around in those days can tell you about "Word Association" in all it's glory. Rahi Master and I were also behind the Follower Fiasco. What started as a joke between a handful of users expanded into one of BZP's first big fads. Soon the Staff made special accomidations and rules to allow for people to be Leaders and Followers. Then just as quickly as it had taken off, it was ended...and we were shown what should've been viewed as a warning of things to come. I was on the Staff assigned to the Clubs Forum, too. Anybody remember that? I don't remember how long it lasted...but similar to Leaders and Followers...the Clubs only seemed to seperate and isolate members from one another more and more. I don't recall the details, but I remember the headache. And soon, Clubs went the way of Followers. There was the DTotA (Dark Toa of the Apocalypse), one of BZ's first group projects. In it's early days, the members of the time combined their writing, building, and creative processes to name, design, and assign powers to a team of Toa based on the Four Horsemen. It was honored during BBC's 7th Contest From it's early days on BZ...to BZC...and then BZP, this forum has evolved into the cornerstone of the Bionicle universe. It was the fans of this forum that got the Vahi back into the story. We've even witnessed as our fellow members have gone on to become staff on the actual Bionicle team. The names and faces may change throughout the years, but the constants will always be there. The sets, the story, and the overall creative spark that the toyline and this forum have seemed to bring about are noticeable. Compare MOCs today to those in BZ's early days. It's almost impossible to think that something like this could've happened. When I first learned of Bionicle, I expected it to eventually wind up like the Throwbots and the Roboriders. But something went differently with LEGO's third try. And I'd like to think that we here at BZP were part of that something. So to all the members, young and old, Staff or otherwise, veteran or newbie....congratulations all. It's been five great years. And with the Inika trickling into stores...and teases of what lay ahead, it looks as though LEGO and Bionicle are giving us enough to keep on trucking for years to come. On a more personal note: to LtJ, melvin, Matoro, and RM. The Alliance may have long since faded from the forum...and who knows how many of you I'll hear from again. But I want you to know that I'll never forget the fun times we had. And because I'm old enough now, here's a toast to the good ol' days. Along with it, a moment of silence for BAH. .... Somewhere out there, there are pixie sticks being eaten...and the DJ is playing on.

BUTTON... Huh? Oh, this is a blog. Cool. What will I use it for? Oh, I know! Since I have 1 week to do this, this blog will give you an insight on one week of my life. Just like the sets I have, the MOCs I build, and my art. I wish to thank all those who voted for Da Big Dog in BBC 35, Iron MOCist. I got further in that contest than ever before. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BZP!!!!

"For those who haven't paid for your registration, please pay as soon as possible - the convention will be open to the first 400 paying attendees. Because of the rising number of registrants, only those who have paid will be counted to the attendance limit. Registering will not guarantee a spot, but paying will" So far there are over 250 people attending and fully registered. If anyone is still considering registering for Brickfest, better do it quickly before it is too late. Pre-Registration deadline is July 25th. -Omi

Since I haven't heard from my superiors yet as to regards of Bionicle at Brickfest, I have some awesome plans that will still make up for whatever loss will happen. These are the most wickedly awesome ideas. My plans are...................... Not gonna be shared right now, cuz mysteries are awesome. -Omi

No joke. I was coming back from swimming and chilling with a few friends, and as we drove by it the alarm was going off. -Omi

Say there is a MOC contest for Brickfest involving Bionicle. Suppose ya win this rumored contest. Lets say the sexy handsome Bionicle Coordinator made trophies for this said contest. Well, voila: No plans are finalized, so don't get hyped yet. -Omi
-
Due to some circumstances and stuff, I am no longer co-coordinating Bionicle at Brickfest. Sad news, I know. However, I am now officially coordinating Bionicle at Brickfest, which gives me the title of Bionicle Coordinator. -Omi
-
I'm feeling mooody. Due to the new location of Brickfest this year, means that space will be limited. And when I mean limited, I mean that Marc (Toatalnut), head coordinator of the Bionicle theme (I am like co-coordinator), is like literally pushing for some more space for display. From what he told me we have so far, it really is disappointing for me. So yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. -Omi

He read my dream too. And I won the free CD. And Big Red was my former roommate. -Omi

"If you don't like the weather, then get out" Well, I am not liking the weather. It is too hot, and it will get hotter. And you guys shall be hearing (well reading) me complain about it until the summer is over. Cuz it is hot. Really hot. -Omi P.S. It is really hot.

Cuz I am mowing the lawn in sweltering 90 degree weather today. Ohhhhhhh yeah. B) -Omi

So I decided to play Metal gear Solid 3, which I haven't played in awhile. I felt like doing some major killing, plus since I got the Stealth camo, with Spirit camo, I can sneak up on bad guys without them seeing or hearing me. And then I torture the guys before I lay some TNT on them. And then I beat the game. -Omi
