I watched even though it was Rated-R. It has to be one of the most scariest movies I've ever seen, even scarier than The Happening. I might do my BBC entry on one of the songs from the movies.

A guessing game, more precisely. I'm thinking of a four-lettered word that can be spelled phonetically with two letters as well. First one to say it (using the Latin Alphabet) wins a prize of the jump-out-at-you variety. Hint: It's a two syllable word. GO!

I am 100% addicted to EVE Online. It's like the most perfect concept ever; it has spaceships, it has guns, it has a lot of player-controlled content, etc. So that pretty much makes it the best MMO in my book, bar none. (and yes that includes WOW) Bottom line, you should try it. Also also also I'm cat-sitting this week. Who wants pics?

You are required to view this important document. Sound will play when you click it, so PREPARE YOUR BLADDER FOR IMMINENT RELEASE! Removed. If you use a flash object, next time make sure it doesn't start playing. Even if you just enter the entry it starts. For something like that, I would suggest you link it. - Kohaku

So... It seems my premier membership has been renewed. At last. What I don't understand is why the server has been incredibly slow, and I'm still seeing advertisements. Anyway, now that my premier membership is renewed for the next six months, I'll start work on creating a new blog theme. Unsure what to do for it, though. Also, I'm working on some artwork. First a few "EPIC" edits I did using Photoshop, then a portrait of my character's "Shadow Toa Form" I'm currently working on, and finally a silly picture I'm drawing for Emperor Whenua. My best guess is that posting three topics in rapid, albeit not immediate succession will get noticed. Anyway, the short time I've not been a premier member has been rather interesting, due to how I haven't been on the computer as much during that time. If fact, I believe I even have a fangirl now. In real life. It's a long story, but I'm certain she's a fan of me, considering how she keeps going "OMG LIEK HES SUCH AN AWESOME ARTIST AND STUFF" and stuff around me. And yes, she mentions me by name. That and she quickly smiles if I happen to glance at her while she's staring at me. Not to mention that she stalks me whenever I'm in the same general area as her... ... Maybe I should get out more... ... :\ -Ngakunui

Seeing as my premier membership is likely going to run out in roughly a day(namely on October 26'th), and my parents don't seem too impressed with the premier thing, I figured I aught to say a few things via my blog before the chance to do so alludes me forever. To BZPower in general: Alright, I'll admit it; I really don't think that poorly of image-based emoticons. It's just that I spent 2004-2006 rather actively, and exclusively on websites on which are populated entirely by members that basically said "ONLY COMPLETE NIMRODS USE .GIF SMILIES, TEXT EMOTICONS FTW XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD", and that, coupled with how I was used to extremely hostile communities kind of discouraged me from using them altogether. So, as you can guess, that's one of the main reasons why one of my first entries was defaming them. But really, I've gotten the whole "image emoticons suck" thing out of my head, as well as the herd-mentality thing that caused it. But really, I don't think image-base smilies are all that bad; it's just how I feel all silly if I catch myself using one. Also, I'd like to apologize to all those on the blogs who I've been rude or harsh to. Some times I get kind of sure of myself, and assert my solution as being absolutely correct, and to people I hardly even know, if at all, in the first place. I guess seeing as I had hardly anything good to say in those situations, I should have said nothing at all. To the people who I contact regularly on MSN, and either have no BZP account, or hardly ever use it in the first place: Let me start off by saying- I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. It's not like I know half of you too well, and half of you are like half of the same as you were when I like when I knew you half an eon ago. And it's not like I can talk to half of you half the time, anyway. And I'm like half-conscious half time half of you are on. Got that? To those I know here/vice versa, and/or contact frequently(usually both): I guess I aught to start of by thanking y'all for putting up with me all this time. I know I can be a bit irritating at times. Specifically, I'd like to thank E.W. for helping getting me unbanned as well as helping me not violate the rules again and helping with other things not to mention being a friend, I'd like to thank Bonesiii for helping me out with my screenname dilemma I had a while back, as well as approving of my blog twice in the past, L.K. for helping me improve on my drawing skills a bit via MSN as well as being a friend of sorts and assisting with a few other problems, Bundalings for posting in most of my blog entries/ being on MSN, Swert for helping me find a decent Gmod server as well as a few other things. ------- Anyway, I'm off to clear my Inbox. It has quite a few more PMs than what a normal member would be allowed to keep, seeing as I never deleted any of my messages. I don't want to have my inbox completely unusable or anything. :\ -Ngakunui

Recently, I've put some thought into the "what is nothing" thing. I've realized why it's so difficult to figure out. It's an absolute. There may be other reasons, but I've determined that just about every time one deals with absolutes, those ideas will, eventually, contradict themselves. I can't say "water is good", or "water is bad" because it's so dynamic. It can support life, or it can destroy, and even then, some times the latter helps more than the former. If there's too much or too little of something, or something is misplaced, it can always end up doing wrong instead of good. I can't say "there's never too much of a good thing", because apparently there are quite a few alcoholics in the world that prove otherwise. In fact, it's not things that are good or bad, but what you use them for. I don't mean this politically at all, but let's say I live in a town where roughly... ninety percent of all crimes, notably break ins are committed with crowbars. Let's say I own a crowbar. Now, I, being a law abiding citizen, am not going to use it for anything other and general "crowbar type stuff" and possibly for unconventionally using it if somebody else breaks into my home. Does the fact that criminals use crowbars for break ins mean I'm a criminal, or that crowbars are evil? No, it doesn't. What it means is that if I have one, I should use it responsibly and not for playing Gordon Freeman with people's stuff. The same can be applied to life: criminals live, and use their being alive to commit horrible crimes. Does that mean every citizen should be killed? No. See, that's a problem with reasoning with "constants" and "absolutes"; it isn't reasoning at all, because all it does is take simple ideas, and compares them to what are, at the moment, either completely considered null, or absolutely correct in the mind comparing them. "Constants" are never constant, absolutes are physically impossible in a mortal world. Therefore, it is more logical to take all variables and whatnot of something into consideration before coming to a conclusion. Even then, it's possible you may be wrong, even if nothing in those assumptions or observations conflict themselves. ------- Anyway, I apologize if I messed up whilst writing this. I'm kind of tired and stuff, and haven't quite managed to wake up today. -Ngakunui

Recently, I've considered joining an RPG here on BZPower. Problem is, I don't want to join one where other people have control over what my character does, or how he reacts, or in which he is likely to be "I SHOOT CHU WIF LAZOR AND U DIE LOLOLOLOL" killed. And I don't want to join one in which the people in it have next to no idea what to do, either. And yes, a Bionicle one would be preferred. I figured I'd get to know people here better if I join an RPG as my previous experiences on other sites has proven. So, post away. In other words, feel free to spam/advertise your RPGs to me. Or somebody else's RPG. -Ngakunui

Before you bring it up, I realize it wasn't the best idea to do this with my current Combine Overwatch layout, but this entry is not supposed to resemble or relay the style or moral beliefs Dr.Breen/ the Combine broadcasted over their giant "viewscreens" in HalfLife2. As I was saying: ------- I just noticed a particular problem or more with instinctive human reasoning; the tendency to dumb everything down to a single, lackluster meaning, instance, moral, etc. in a "one for one" or "one for everything" manner. This type of reasoning has various issues and problems with it that conflict with the nature of reality, and can inflict various injuries and flaws in the logic of those who reason in such a way: if you have various problems in life, and such, and you pay attention to only one, the others will outflank you, so to speak, and essentially become worse than the single trouble you have prioritized, becoming more of a trouble in the end than the single one you have paid so much attention to. Our pre-programmed impulses have much to do with this; when someone is born, he is without any learned knowledge or reasoning, essentially relying on animalistic instincts for survival and the like. But as someone grows, it become necessary to understand the world and universe around us- not for survival of ourselves, but to ensure quite a few other, far grander things take place, and continue. I do not mean this in a metaphorical sense, but a practical one; that we, individually, rarely morally see past what we learned in our first few years of life. You see; self centered reasoning is a great disruptor in our behavior, along with various other urges and influences that cause us to make illogical decisions. And is it really so logical to assume that with the universe, in all it's complexity and marvels, it only exists for a single purpose; that there is only one virtue at it's base that accounts for everything else? There is no single purpose, or notion for everything; each has it's own set of tasks and functions to which it carries out in it's lifetime, in it's own places and surroundings. As such, the thought that everything needs to belong to the same accord is dangerous and prone to wreaking catastrophes and disorder. "Everything" is simply an umbrella term, if you will, for all that exists, which we so commonly and foolishly perceive to be a singular entity. And as such, we must take into account each thing that may cause problems with our logic and cognitive ability, and understand those things are separate, individual problems, coming from different sources, including ourselves. Also note that the case of people being easily controlled by the group they belong to, operating instinctively, similar to the hive mind found in the natural world, is not flawlessly compatible with the human mind's higher methods of thinking. While communities are fine, and beneficial, they cause issues if people are not allowed their own freedom to think and understand what they see around them in it's clearest, unabridged manner, and if they are forced to cooperate in a group which they have no familiarity with, and are allowed no differences and independence from. Instead, the human mind is more optimized to work with smaller, friendlier groups which they can trust, be knowledgeable about, and treat as a family. Not to say anything bad about larger communities such as this website, but it is quite helpful individual people have at least a few people they can trust, and that can trust them, without worrying about them betraying, or defaming them. This, as helpful as it is, can become a problem if we choose incorrectly, or lunge at the opportunity when it first crosses our path, leading us to far worse problems, such as making us either overly social, antisocial, attached, crazy, something else, of even a mix of those, depending on our experiences or expectations. And so, the want for companionship can lead us to far worse things than what simply being alone, if not controlled. Make sure you reason, without bias or distaste against things, and that you test and examine what you learn and observe. And so, we must not be controlled by any of our impulses, such as instinct, reflexes, fear, hate, and all other negative problems with ourselves. And there are far more things than what I mentioned here. If I were to write all of them into a book, this included, it would span pages of explanation an reiteration. Also, about the vague similarity of this to the Combine in HL2's programming, aided by the theme of this blog; the Combine had very simple reasoning; believing that they were the only legitimate ruling force, that conquering everything was the only way to bring peace(by an extension, "peace" being at the base of this) that instinct was the only problem in society, and that anything was acceptable to install their rule upon everyone. Very much like the "one for one" type of reasoning, or lack thereof I mentioned earlier. While contrary to that, I believe, and am saying that not everything dumbs down to one: everything is not one thing, and is best off in it's own accord and place, doing it's jobs and fulfilling it's purposes needed for it's particular environment to do likewise. If you only focus on one thing, evil things and people will lead you into a pit of death and decay, as evil cannot exist without good, and what little good it has will be the only thing you see. ------- I wish I could say more, but I really can't write much more. The are other things I need to get to work on. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reply. I apologize if I was redundant or messed up anywhere, I was kinda rushed to do this, and didn't have any time to make it more eloquent or clear.

I just read how to add the "Two dots that they put over certain words in German" (or Diaeresis/ Umlaut in non-layman's terms) over a letter using an ASCII keyboard. Simply put, the key-combination is Shift+Ctrl+;+[letter]. It only works with vowels(Ä,Ë,Ï,Ö,Ü and Ÿ), mind you, and MSN Messenger and Microsoft Word are the only applications this has worked for me with(It doesn't work in Firefox). It's neat, I'll admit, but I don't speak any languages that actually use the diacritic(Or any languages other than English). But, I just thought it would be nice to put that out for y'all to see. It's too awesome not to be noted. ... On another note, I really need to learn how to speak German. I know a whole bunch of words from it, and it's pronunciation, it's just that I know nothing of it's grammar, and the words I know aren't enough, and I need to learn Mexican Spanish more than it... -Ngakunui
