So, I doubt there's any WWE fans who regularly read my blag, but yeah, I wanna comment on the major matches. Spoiler tags for those who did not see it/can't see it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «First Elimination Chamber: That match paid off the $44.95 I paid for this PPV. I was happy. Also CHRISTIAN'S BACK! Miz vs King: King shoulda won. Enough said. Second Elimination Chamber: John Morrison should have won, he put enough into that match to make me a believer, and Miz vs Morrison at WrestleMania is a much better headliner match than Miz vs Cena. I definately will be looking forward to WrestleMania 27, despite the main events being what they are.

So, I'm not exactly a well-known person, so I should introduce myself to the BZPower citizens. Let's face it, I don't do anything nearly notable enough to be recognized.* I shall list my credentials. I doubt they're notable, but my friends think they're cool. BS01 Owner, Administrator, and overall decision maker. Anything on BS01 you don't like or think should be changed? Rant here.PREMIER BZPower Outstanding Citizen. And proud of it.Part- to full-time employee of a LEGO Art Studio, City Blocks of Tacoma, WA. I say Part- because my hours were cut during the winter lull, but they're picking back up.I also do freelance web design and graphics art on the side. A few little minor things, not note worthy, are also stuff I do. I also enjoy classic rock music. So yeah, I hope to receive a warm reception from the BZP denizens. Let's face it, a little guy like me can learn to grow up in a friendly community, can he not? : D *If by now you haven't realized, I'm intentionally dulling down my accomplishments, since I don't like having an ego. So, if I intentionally say I'm much smaller than I am, I can live happily. Please don't let the ego grow bigger.

And I'll post them here and tell you what I think about you. Because let's face it, numbers are overrated. You make some pretty cool MOCs. I think this is the first time I've ever received a PM from you though? I see you around a lot, but I've never really talked with you. I really like your most recent MOC! Good bro. Best waifu. I really don't know you that well. Sorry. I really like one of your past user names! I don't really know you either. Sorry. Why are all these people I don't know sending me images? D: We haven't talked in forever. Touhou bro! If I could still change my name, I would totally hook up with you and try to get that Touhou namechange fad going again!

So the Bowl didn't go quite as well as I'd hope, but on the plus side the Dark of the Moon trailer was pretty awesome. On that note, Hasbro followed up today with a flurry of pics of the new action figures. So of course...NERD TIME! Take it in. The Ultimate Optimus Prime figure. It's the first time Optimus has had a trailer since his Powermaster days. The downside of this figure is that it's also about $80. Though given trends of the larger scale action figures my guess is it'll be half that by the time the film hits DVD. Which won't be too long a wait I hope. The problem though, is while the vehicle mode looks incredible, the robot Moderator leaves a LOT to be desired... I love the look of the standard Prime mode, but the combined mode on the left seems less solid than I'd like in a figure that's supposed to be as "mighty" as this mode would imply. Now, I won't be one of "those" people and will wait until more reviews and closer pics come out. But right now I'm a little sketchy on the ultimate mode. I will give Hasbro a ton of credit though. This invokes memories of both the G1 Optimus and the Powermaster figure, as I hear that the trailer will have its own "base mode" similiar to the original Prime figure. Depending on the overall size of the figure and the playability in the combined mode this could be one of the cooler figures in the movie line for a while. And that's including the predecessor to this (Jetfire + Optimus from Revenge of the Fallen), which was a callback to the Unicron's Trilogy habit of having Prime combine with random jets. On that note, this makes me wish they'd give us a few more Bayverse combiners. They teased us with Devastator for the previous movie, but nothing ever came of that unfortunately.

NFC and AFC Championship games today. I was rooting for the Seahawks, because it would've been awesome to see a 7-9 team win the Super Bowl. But after they got walloped by the Bears, and the Packers embarassed Atlanta, I'm pushing for the Bears and the Jets. As a Vikings fan, you'd think my reasons for rooting against the Packer would be obvious. They aren't. I hate Joe Buck. He's a terrible announcer. So I'm really not looking forward to what would happend if he was allowed to gush for four hours on Aaron Rodgers. And since my AFC support is behind the Jets (because Rex Ryan is talking trash and actually backing it up), I definately do not want the Super Bowl to turn into the Battle of the Brett. So join me in enjoying what should be some really good football games, and in a few weeks. GO BEARS/JETS!

It's a drawn Choose Your Own Adventure game. I run it. It's fun. You should play! You should also discuss it here in order to prevent the main topic from cluttering up!

I wonder how long it'll take Aho to yell at me for stealing it from him?

Welcome one and all to 2011! We hope you enjoy your next 365 days here! With a new year comes new goals, mine this year? Get to 190 lbs., 10% body fat within 2-3 months. And keep it off.Complete a half-marathon.Increase awesomeness by 25%That last one is more of a joke, but I still think it's fun to add. Cause the goal ever year is to make it better than the last right? So what do you guys have in store for 2011?

Okay, so at like 2:00 AM today I got back home after a long drive from a ski resort. I slept for like three hours, got up, and then a few hours later went after Christmas shopping with my brothers, which took up most of the day. Bought a lot of interesting things today, but the most interesting would have to be the new Hero Factory set, Fire Lord. Searching the toy aisle of Wal-Mart, I was surprised to find four Fire Lord sets sitting amongst the rest of the HF sets. As I was interested in the new HF sets, I snatched the set up and bought it for about $20. (Note: There were no other 2011 HF sets on the shelves, so I only bought Fire Lord.) So what do I think about the set, now that I have built it and fiddled with it a bit? I think Fire Lord has a very unique build. The various ball joints truly makes him - and probably the rest of the 2011 HF sets - different from BIONICLE. At the moment I am too tired to think much beyond that, but overall I like him and think he'll terrorize my new 2010 Preston Stormer set quite well . Rotor's still cooler, though. Just saying. -TNTOS-

So as I mentioned the other day, I have been buying and watching a LOT of movies in the past few weeks. Especially now that I have a week of vacation time to work with. As a result, I've gone mad...seeing connections in several films based solely on the presence of various actors and actresses. But given enough free time and enough insanity, I am now able to present what I have (tentaively) named "The Expanded Inception Universe": I have reasons, but I don't think they'd make any sense right now. Give me some time to collection my thoughts. In the meantime, I'll leave it to you the reader to try and figure out these connections. Enjoy.

I realized today, as I dropped some money on the counter at Target, that for the past week or so I haven't been able to walk into a store without walking out with a new movie. Some of its the deals, some of it is a desire to flesh out what has been a somewhat very limited library. As such, I've added the following movies to my collection since my birthday in November: American GangsterBlazing SaddlesThe DepartedThe HangoverInceptionThe Invention of LyingThe LosersScott Pilgrim vs. the WorldSuperbadTakenZombielandI have no idea when I'm going to have time to watch all of these (I've seen all of them exception the first), and with how many movies I've seen in the past month aside from these, I'm slowly going stir crazy. The end result will be something rather amusing...which I hope to have up by the end of the week.

First off, a friendly reminder that I'm now on Twitter. So stop by and say hey! I tend to update that more often these days since I'm able to post to it on the go. Can't promise it'll always be interesting, but I figure once I get more followers I'll be able to use it more for sharing ideas than the current brain dump it is. That said..it's the post-Holiday season, a time of exchanges, returns, and assessing the damage to your pocketbook. In the meantime, here's the pile of goodies that I recieved this season. CashBest Buy gift cardsAbraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterDress shirt/argyle sweater comboatomic clock w/ temp sensorveggie choppernew picture frame for 5 5x7 photosThe Smurf's DVD (white elephant)Hand flexers (stress grips)Vikings t-shirtcenterpiece for coffee table + candleThis year's overall theme was "class it up". The clock, frame, and centerpiece were inteded to add some style to my place. They go with the new furniture I brought in over the course of the year really well. I quickly used part of the BB cards on Inception. So that means I now own my two favorite movies of 2010 (Scott Pilgrim and Inception). I also used some of the cash to pick up some games at a B2G1 sale (Guitar HeroL Warriors of Rock, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and Dante's Inferno). Looking forward to cracking open the book as well, as I've read the author's other work "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" and loved it. Will probably grab "Earth: The Book" this week as well. I teamed up with my sister this year to get our parents and grandma a nice set of professional portraits. I've been doing giftcards and such a lot the past few years so this time I figured it was time for something different.

So over Thanksgiving I upgraded to one of them smartphones that I kept hearing about. It's got Android on it, so I've got all of the social media apps with me on the go. Including Twitter. I guess before I go much further, is posting your Twitter handle against the BPZ rules? If it isn't, then I'll update accordingly if you're interested in following me. So how about you guys? You tweet? Update! For those of you interested, I can be found at "trtx84". I have my profile set to manually approve, so be sure to post here if you try to follow me so I know you aren't a spam bot. Been seeing a lot of those lately!

I dwelt apart from the visible world, but I have not said that I dwelt alone. This no human creature may do; for lacking the fellowship of the living, he inevitably draws upon the companionship of things that are not, or are no longer, living.

Go ahead and suggest a character. If I feel generous then I'll make a randomized avatar featuring them.

It's after midnight here. I stayed up on purpose so I greet the start of my 26th year with open eyes. Now it's off to bed. Gonna have a busy night tomorrow/today as I bid adieu to my first quarter-century on this planet and usher in the official start of my "late 20s".

As some of you may know, I am a huge Minnesota Twins fan. On Tuesday night, the Twins clinched the AL Central title...and with it their 6th playoff appearance in the last 9 years. And it doesn't stop there. Thanks to Tampa Bay spliting a four game series with the Yankees, the Twins will take the field Friday in Detroit with the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL! If they can hold of the AL East...the Twins would then have home field advantage through the AL Championship series. So pardon me for a moment while I enjoy this:

Dicaeopolis is an Athenian. However he down not dwell in Athens but in the country; for he is a farmer. He cultivates his farm and works in his field. His life is difficult for the fam is small but the work is long. Dicaeopolis is always working and often he groans and says, "O Zeus, life is hard, for the work is endless and hard and provides little grain." But the man is strong and energetic; often he rejoices; for the man is free and the grain is small but enough.

You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the street, a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children's laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I give you a hamburger. You asked for a hamburger, and I gave you a racoon. You asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I really don't exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground. You awake as a hamburger. You scream. The world is sepia. Why are we speaking in German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young cow. Your grandfather stares at you as the cow falls apart into patties. You look down only to see me with pickles for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe. You ask for a hamburger. The hamburger asks for you. You are in Russia. You start awake sweating in your own bed. I give you a hamburger. Shrieking, you stagger into the road in a daze. You ask for a hamburger. The ambulance does not arrive in time. You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. As you take a bite, you notice ants all over your skin. You ask for a hamburger. The children cry over the father's dead body. You ask for a hamburger. You are blind, but you can feel the worms writing in your stomach. I am your father. I give you a hamburger. You giggle as I stumble. I ask for a hamburger, you give me a hamburger. You awake with a start in your own bed. I give you a hamburger. The wizened meat explodes to dust and you realize eons have passed and you are alone in a desolate waste. You awake screaming. I give you a hamburger. You take the hamburger with trembling hands. Your eye twitches involuntarily. As you take a bite, the ants crawl into your mouth. You look at me desperately. I give you a hamburger. You awake in the corner of your wardrobe in tears. I give you a hamburger. You notice the semitrailer bearing down on you. You take a bite but your jaws refuse to open. I give you a hamburger. Your children stop giggling as they hear your skull meet the pavement. Collapsing, you vomit uncontrollably. You take a bite. Involuntarily, your eye twitches. I give you a hamburger
