So, I'm thinking 'bout gettin' me one of them thar Zune HD's (probably the 16GB due to the cheaper price). Any opinions on this? I spent probably about an hour or so the other night just comparing Zune vs. iPod. My mom and three of my sisters all have some incarnation of the iPod. I'll be gone for a week or so starting Thursday. I'll be on the east coast at a religious retreat. Y'know, get away from all the distractions and figure out what I want to do with my life before it's too late. I recorded a video of myself surfing "The Final Countdown". I'd love to show it, but since Photobucket has been finicky lately I need to find a new video hosting site (no, I've never had luck with Google video in the past so don't bother mentioning it). My epic is THIS CLOSE to being finished. However, "Action In The Background" is still just a place-holder title. As much as I like it, I'd rather come up with something different since this isn't just a re-write. It's gonna be totally different. Any suggestions for a replacement title that still follows the same idea? My series (should the first book do well enough) is basically going to be all about what happened "behind the scenes" during the 01-08 saga. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, name-change/revert. Further more, I've also had an epic in mind (too many things I'd like to do, not enough time) for the COT forum (OH MY ALLAH, Takuma in COT!?). I've had this MARVEL comic book-style hero that's been screaming to get out of my head and meet the world for some time now. I'll give you a small taste of what he's like: He's deaf, plays guitar, and his name is Derek Leaper (no, he's not a jumpy super-hero, I just thought it sounded interesting). Alter-ego name is still in the works. What's his power? Well, I may reveal that later. Let's just say that it ties into the fact that he's deaf. <End Track>

Clarification: Meatbags, You Misunderstand....

Remember the thing about ME and Turakii? It wasn't serious, it wasn't a joke, it was two crazy people up too late at night so they decided to do something wacky that would make the perfect excuse to make cool banners. Insanity ≠ joke.I DIDN'T "DUMP" HER FOR ROCKET RACER! THAT'S EVEN CRAZIER!! IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!Regardless of the reasons, the banners were coolio.I've never had a girlfriend and probably won't until I'm 72. Seems like I always aim for the girls that are outta my league...There's nothing like having an Audiosurf-Xfire-Broadcast-Party at midnight with the Fantastic Four. <End Track> -
...so I had to take a refresher course. OH SNAP. <End Track>

...but "Takuma" is an anagram (just reversed syllables, actually) of "Makuta". Quite accidental, I assure you. <brk>

So, a friend and I are having a little disagreement as to which is better: Starbucks or Caribou Coffee. I've decided to run a little poll to see what you guys think and prove which one is better (which I shall not state yet in order to maintain unbiased-ness)! VOTE NOW! <brk>

Today, we had a big blizzard. My T-Bird was slippin' and slidin' all the way home. But many people here probably don't realize just what it means to live in Minnesota. I recently remembered that somebody had put it into perfect words and I decided to show it to you all so you can know just what the life-style is like in this state of the USA. 60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens. 50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Duluth sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker. 20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Minnesota get out their winter coats. 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota! are selling cookies door to door. 40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van. 460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?" <brk>

Pretty much anybody and everybody acts different online. I'm sure you've all gotten a good grasp on how I am. But what about how I act were you to meet me face-to-face? What is the real Takuma Nuva really like? Who's that man behind the curtain keyboard? Well, I'd really have no idea what to tell you myself. Lucky for me and you though, I've had other people clarify this for me. You see, my aunt once told me that my mannerisms, my personality, a good lot about me remind her of somebody. One day, I randomly decided to ask a co-worker what he thought of this. Before I even finished what I was saying, he said "Dude, that is so weird! I was seriously thinking that about you just this morning! I'm not even kidding!" Apparently I remind him of said person too. I'd say this must be a good way of describing me if two people who don't know the other exists think the same of me. So, I've decided to show you just who I am. Enlighten you all as to just what I'm like. Ladies, gentlemen, and Turakii. I present to you... Takuma Nuva: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The sad part, some of my other co-workers haven't even heard of this guy... <brk>

I love hot cocoa. I really do. Like, a lot. Mott's Apple Cider Mix packets are one of the few things that can top it. But, when I looked at this can of hot cocoa mix I got from a co-worker for the Secret Santa and saw this label... FAIL is the only thing that comes to mind. EDIT: Oh my Karzahni... IT'S A PICTURE OF A PACKET, PEOPLE! IT'S A CAN OF HOT COCOA BUT THE PICTURE IS A PACKET!! GEEZ... these people must have gone to public school... <brk>

Turakii's Website Just Isn't Enough For Me
Takuma Nuva posted a blog entry in Obligatory Volcano Lair
Ah, those days of the Board Messages. Weren't they something? I wonder who came up with them all... A lot of people like to come up with their own. Some even forming songs. Turakii's got a collection of these on her website. Most are awesome. Remember that period of time when it seemed like the board was constantly not busy, but rather offline? How annoying. It wasn't the staff's fault though. Unfortunately, there were no witty phrases or anything of the sort for that. Just a simple "performing maintenance" or something. What a shame. Well, after having read all these busy server messages on Turakii's website, I asked myself why was nobody making board offline messages? So, I decided to make the very first. Turakii graciously added it to her website to be displayed. However, I don't get feedback this way and how do I really know who's seen it? So, since Turakii's website just isn't enough for me, I've decided to post it in this blog. It is a full song, meant to be sung to the tune of DAUGHTRY's "Crashed". The same song featured in the more popular version of the Toa Mahri Mini Movie. Board Offline I love my BZPower, do it all the time, Turned on my computer and I went online, Typed in the website's URL. Yeah, Yeah. Saw a news story that looked really cool, Clicked on the "Talkback," thought "This is gonna rule!" Then it happened, didn't see it coming. Yeah, Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah! The board was offline, And I wanted to flame! Would have lost my proto, That would not have been good, no! The board was offline, I was going insane! There was nothing I could do, But I couldn't walk away! Somehow I had to stop myself, An urge to smash my PC, that's what I felt, Duct Taped my hands to my chair. Yeah, Yeah. And I was trying to make some sense, Out of how and why this happened, When it's coming back, there's just no knowing. Yeah, Yeah! The board was offline, And I wanted to flame! Would have lost my proto, That would not have been good, no! The board was offline, I was going insane! There was nothing I could do, But I couldn't walk away! Then his face was shining before me, Hapori Tohu, he gave me just what I need! Oh, Just what I neeeeeeeeeeeed! The board was online, And I no longer flamed! Could have been the death of me, But Hapori gave back life to me! The board was online, I was going insane! I was so happy, I'd never leave again! Yeah, the board was online! Yeah, the board was online! Yeah, the board was online! Yeah, the board was online! I was going insane! I was so happy, I'd never leave again! *Fade music* If you don't like it, please remember I wrote this around a year ago, before I had even begun refining my writing skills. If you like it however, please disregard this lousy excuse. <brk> -

Step Alpha: On Christmas Eve, instead of putting the gifts under the tree, hide them around the house. Step Bravo: Christmas morning, tell everyone that their presents have been hidden and that they must find them. Step Charlie: Watch everybody hunt and open gifts they find. Step Delta: Wait the day out until everybody goes to bed for the night. Step Echo: Scour the house looking in all the places you hid gifts, collecting any that were missed. Step Foxtrot: Next morning, return all the gifts that were never found. They'll never even know... <brk>

Just a couple of quick notes: 1. I finally got a new comic done and up. But since I was the last one to post in the topic and I merely edited that post, those subscribed to the topic aren't going to get a new post notification to let them know until somebody else comments on said new comic. 2. If, like me, you had trouble after downloading the LEGO Batman Video Game demo getting an error message saying a "d3dx9_36.dll" file is missing, let me know. I'll help you fix it in a couple easy steps. That's all for now. <brk>

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME equipment, why didn't he just buy dinner? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? How can you really say the larger size is a better value when refills are free? If it's always ladies first, what was the point in equal rights? If a french man swears, do they say "Pardon my English"? What's the point in reading back the order if they won't listen anyways? Is it more environment friendly to burn gas or chop down trees to burn? Why is it the parents who taught us how to walk and talk are the ones always telling us to sit down and shut up? Do you ever wonder why you read my blog in the first place? <brk>
