Where the hell is everyone?!

2010-01-27T16:19:00.001-06:00

And I thought I was bad for being away from here for so long. Pffft. You should all be very, very ashamed.

Truthfully though, I haven't been doing much that I deem worthy of posting here, at least not writing-wise. I have written since my last post here... when was that, two years ago?! XD Since then, I've started the sequel of my "Angels" novel as well as won another International Novel Writing Month with a total of 83,000 words. Sadly, though, the book (tentatively called "Mercenaries") is still not finished. Still, I'm happy with the way it's turning out. And I've also begun writing short stories *gasp*. Never thought I'd say that, but it's true. Usually I hate them - I can never form an idea that doesn't take me 50,000 words to execute, but I digress. All in all, things have been a-okay.

I don't know whether I should start back to posting actual excerpts here - anything I would write here would be pretty redundant, seeing as I will be posting on my deviantArt account and the writing blog I just created (shocking, I know) much more frequently. I suppose I could post some rough drafts or short vignettes here that I wouldn't type up elsewhere, but I guess that depends on whether or not anyone is really interested. I could talk about something else... *shrugs*

Also: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Not watching it? WATCH IT, DAMN YOU.

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy 2010 (just two more years until total annihilation - time to party like 1999!!!!)

Alive and well with a Pilsner

2009-07-05T20:03:00.002-05:00

Howdy fans. Its been oh...ages? Life hit me a bit hard, and so my time for beer tasting and reviewing, well, took a back seat for a while. Between getting sick, getting better, and moving, and yeah, starting a new job. In any case, Im back, and I've got a review.

So, when we last spoke, I had just tried the Nut Brown Ale. And I liked it. A lot. However, I had said it was a close call between the NBA, and the Pilsner. Well, I just tried the Pilsner.

So, sadly, it was just me this time, since I'm no longer living with my folks (downside of moving is you only get my point of view). This is what I got after a pour:

Starts off with a nice head, and a light golden color, smelled like a typical Pilsner. There was definitely a bite to it, but it wasn't bad. I'd say its refreshing. Had a nice after taste but I wouldn't call it smooth. Personally, I think this would go well with a burger, but I've been doing my best to not eat anything while doing an initial taste test.

Overall, this is a summer beer. Better tasting then the Porter IMO, but not as good as the Nut Brown. And it has no serious aftertaste. Bonus.

Stay tuned my friends (if your out there), more uptdates on the way.

Round 3: Nut Brown Ale

2009-05-25T21:36:00.003-05:00

So, No posts the past few days, because I've no time to drink past few nights. Sorry bout that, but life catches up to you some times, and I don't always feel like downing a beer (or half a beer, whatever) right before bed.

In any case, I debated a bit between trying the Nut Brown ale, or the Pilsner. I'd never had a Nut Brown ale, or any kind of Brown ale for that matter (to my knowledge). I've no idea what a Brown Ale is. I have had pilsners tho, So I decided on the Nut Brown Ale instead:

In anycase, poured myself and my Dad a glass (he's been going drink for drink with me so far, other then the porter). It poured well, and had a nice Head. Thats the first thing I noticed anyways. Either it just forms a head better then the other beers, or I was getting better at pouring. The color was similar to the Spring Lager, as you can see below

I gave it a good sniff (required of all beer snobs to do so), and noted taht what sent it had was faint and (get this) nutty. Big surprsie, right? It was also very mouthwatering.

As for taste, it was surprisingly sweet. More so then the Spring Lager. And, not surprisingly, there was a nutty aftertaste. Not like peanuts or cashews, but more like walnuts or almonds ( I don't regularly eat walnuts or almonds, so it's hard for me to say which one it was the most like). I'd be curious to see what nuts go into the mix for the beer, but I figure thats one of those Trade Secret thingies (least ways I didn't see any ingrediants listed on the site). There was some bite to it, but not enough to make me cringe.

As far as aftertaste, what little there was of it was actually kinda pleasent. The whole thing went down and tasted very smooth as well. I came out liking it very much. Best one I've had so far.

Round 2: Spring Lager

2009-05-22T21:35:00.004-05:00

So, the second beer i tried from the St. Georges Brewery was the Spring Lager.

I've had simmilar "spring" drinks. THey all tend to try to be lighter then the winter ones (usually stouts), and I've noticed that summer drinks tend to be "ales". This Spring lager tho, was nice. I liked it.

First off, the color. It has this nice golden red. Not quite the red of Killians Irish, but, IMO, comprable. (see below for a crappy picture of said color.)

My first impression of the taste was a twang. I can't explain it better then that, but theres some distinct Umph in the beer the first sip you take. The flavor was close to being sweet, but not quite. It was surprisingly mouth-watering. It's been a while since a beer has done that for me. Unlike any and all Budwiser beers, this Spring Lager really had "Drinkability". There was a far less bitter bite to it then the Porter, which was also nice. I mean, I can deal with some bite, but not too much (say, IPA too much). The aftertaste was different too, much different. What after taste there was for the Spring Lager (which was faint) was sweet, not bitter. So, another nice surprise.

On the whole, good beer. Not my favorite of all time, but it's up there. I always like it when the local stuff turns out to be good, and seasonal beers often tend to be among the best a given microbrewer makes. Good beer.

Round one: Porter

2009-05-21T21:20:00.004-05:00

The first of the St. George's beers that I tried was the Porter, since I tend to be a fan of Porters and Stouts.

Porters are at the dark end of beers. Tend to be smooth, and have less of a bite then most beers (at least in my experience). Often, like Stouts, Porters are made with some chocolate or coffee or similar ingredient. Least I think so anyways.

At first glance, this beer was pretty darn dark. Night on black. The head wasn't much to write home about tho. Smelled like porter, maybe a hint of chocolate, hard to tell.

Sadly, it went down hard. There was more of a bite then I expected, to say the least. That was surprising and depressing. I don't like to associate bite with the darker beers. There was also a very unpleasant after taste, something else I don't normally associate with Porters or Stouts. Sadly, I have to rank this one rather low on the beers I've had. Oh, its better then any cheap beer, and at least half your non cheap beers, but it just wasn't quite what I want in a Porter. Whats even more sad is that the Porter and the IPA are the only 6 packs aside from the sampler pack that were available for purchase at the Farm Fresh that is the only place I know of off the top of my head that sells products from the St. George's Brewery.

And thus ends my first short review of the St. Georges Porter.

Back in the Saddle again, or A Quest for St. George.

2009-05-20T22:08:00.010-05:00

*Dusts off the cobwebs*

Right so, been a while since I or anyone else for that matter has posted on this blog. I haven't had all that much to say. I could go on about graduation a few days ago, or family or what not, but Instead, I'll regal you with a story of a quest of a sorts.

Some background:

This past semester at Virgina Tech, I took a class called World Regions. Very fun class. The teacher is an eccentric individual. In fact, Eccentric is a bit of an understatement, but whatever. In anycase, he thinks hes a super hero. Or well, he has an alter ego as a super hero. That too doesn't matter much, but it should give you an idea of how awesome he is.

Its his second class that matters, the one I wasn't enrolled in: Geography of Wine. Neat, right? A class devoted to the origins of wine. Long and short, the man knows his wine, his beer and his booze. And he talks about it, a lot. I've gotten a ton of recommendations of all kinds of stuff to drink from him, usually over Drinks at some place like Soulvakis, the local Greek place (yeah, that's right, I've been drinking with my Professor. Hell, he bought me and my Girlfriend lunch once).

Right so, background on the professor, check. Last day I am in Blacksburg, I decided to stop at the Vintage Cellar on the way out of time. The Vintage Cellar specializes in wines and rare (read that as not your Budweiser) beers. They tend to have all kinds of stuff from all over the place, including "local" guys. I've been blessed in Blacksburg with 2 local breweries: The Bull and Bones, which is also a restaurant, and the Blacksburg Brewing Co, which makes an excellent Pilsner (first One I had that I liked. Sadly, it's not bottled....I'm gonna miss that beer...)

Anywho, I'm there to pick up a beer for my Uncle. He came down to Hampton to watch my Grandmother while my Mom came up to see me graduate, and I knew he liked beers by the St. Peters brewery. So I got him some, and I picked up a bottle of wine for a friends approaching 21st birthday. While I'm there however, I hear someone call my name from behind the counter. Low and behold, its Prof. Boyer, my World Regions Professor and drinking buddy. Turns out he spends a lot of his free time there. He and I and my folks and girlfriend get to talking. We get to going on about local beers. And this is when I find out that, low and behold (I like that phrase, "Low and Behold"....I can make a dick joke out of it, I'm sure), that there's a Local Brewery in my hometown of Hampton, VA. The St. Georges Brewing Co. Total shocker, let me tell you.

Well, I get home. Give my Uncle his beer, and find out that he bought a 6 pack of St. George's India Pale Ale (for those not in the know, an IPA is a kind of beer. It involves a specific method of brewing that I don't really know, as in all honesty, I don't really like IPA's. I think the official term is too hoppy. Its been ages since I've had one, and I'm not exactly in a rush to see if my opinion has changed now that I drink beer quasi-regularly. I'm sure I'll encounter one again sooner or later, but I'm not gonna actively search them out). He also had one of the Porters (a darker kind of beer similar to a Stout) for dinner the night before. Get this: he found them at the local grocery store. Not a specialty store, the local Farm Fresh. Fuckin A.

So the next day, I try a few of the Local Farm Fresh's till I find the one he went to (turns out to be the one that has the Star Bucks that I used to work at in it. Small world). I see a 6 pack of Porter, a Six pack of IPA, and this:

The St. George's DragonPack, or Sampler pack. It has 6 beers: Porter, Lager, Pilsner, Spring Lager, Nut Brown Ale, and American Brown Ale ( I have no idea what the Difference between the two are, but if I had to bet, it'd be their Nuts). I quickly deduced that this was not all that St. Georges had to offer, but it was all that was on the shelf (Other beer's offered include: Golden Ale, India Pale Ale (mentioned earlier), Summer Ale, Fall Bock, and Winter Stout. As you can imagine, the last three are the other seasonal ales, like the Spring Lager, that are available when any reasonable person would imagine, as their names would suggest). So, after a quick debate, I went ahead and nabbed the awesome DragonPack. $9 later, myself and my new shiny box of beer were in the car and on the way home, bottles rattling as they eagerly awaited a stomach acidly death.

Thus was the Quest for St. Georges Beer.

In an effort to make myself do more blog posts, I shall be trying these beers over the next week or so. One a night, when I have the option to do so. The drinking started last night (May 19th), tho the actual blog post for the first drink I tried (the Porter) will be up tomorrow. I am keeping my notes on the beers in my handy dandy Moleskin Notebook (purchased yesterday, before I decided to go on a beer quest), and will provide pictures. I may also include input from my Dad, who is willing to try some of the beers. Not every one tho, because some nights he just doesn't feel like trying a beer.

So, you've all been warned. I promise the next few blog posts from me (ie, 6-7) will not be nearly as long as this one, and will end with a special post (I'm not telling what it is, but I'm sure someone will figure it out sooner or later. Feel free to guess). In the mean time, I have some drinking to do. G'nite!

Well, That Was Fast... No Comic

2009-04-22T20:30:00.003-05:00

Well, after this short time and after spending the money to make netaidol.com, my artist bailed on me. She went super psycho putting me down in emails then asking me why I don't read her emails and acknowledge her feelings. Anybody who knows me, knows that tho I like to stir up trouble, I definitely love my friends and do whatever I can for them. I guess she's just an idiot.

So that's about it. I don't have time to draw out a comic and no devotion to do one page every...month it feels so yeah, sorry if anyone actually went and checked on there.

On the better news, I'm really busy. I work alot and my shifts change all the time. I'm sorry I don't come on here and post or comment any as I'm trying to adjust to my 9-5 position for a month and a half until they put me on 2-10 which i dont want. I'll eventually get back to y'all

2 years...

2009-04-16T02:31:00.004-05:00

This is short, but warning, it's gonna kill the mood around here.

2 years ago today, 32 of my classmates were gunned down in cold blood. I usually dont think about it, but I've had one too many drinks tonight to not think about what happened.

To Absent Friends.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Dragon Ball Z Redux? Yes!

2009-04-07T15:19:00.002-05:00

Yes folks, Dragon Ball Z is being re-aired for it's twentieth anniversary under. Twenty years...god I feel old. >_< It's been remastered for HD and has been edited somewhat so it's not quite as long. It's been renamed Dragon Ball Kai. The cast has even redone the voice work completely! First ep is available now so if you're feeling a bit of nostalgia for a kinder, simpler anime time then definitely check this out. ^_^

Full Metal Alchemist Redux

2009-04-06T05:15:00.004-05:00

Well sports fans, it's finally here! The new version of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime has just begun and it's off to an awesome start! From what I can tell, this seems to be a complete remake of the series, though I'm not sure if it will be more faithful to the manga than the original (a fantastic series in it's own right as I'm sure you all know) or a complete reimagining but the basic story seems the same. A must watch whether you're a fan of the original series or not. ^_^ Oh, good news as well, in case you've not already heard the sequels to Spice and Wolf and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are due out later this year. Be sure and keep an eye out.

In other news, I'd like to appologize for not posting lately. My life has been weird lately and, to be honest, I just haven't felt much like writing. I plan to change all that for the foreseeable future though so keep watching for more posts from me, and on more than just anime! Wish me luck and sacrifice a goat to the muses for me, eh? ;)

Blackout Ireland

2009-03-05T10:51:00.003-06:00

So i just found out in my Net Law course today that the Recording Industry in Ireland of all places, are telling ISP's who can access the internet. They will supply ISP's with the names of ppl that download illegally, and then the ISP's will cut off the persons access to the internet unless they stop. So far, one ISP in Ireland has agreed.

Now, whether or not you agree with file sharing is not the point. My issue is this: a private company is regulating access to the internet. They are saying who can go online, and who cant, and thats just wrong.

So, this is the start of Blackout Week for Ireland. This article explains whats going on far better then I can:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0304/1224242232688.html

and this is one of the sites about the movement of protest:

http://blackoutireland.com/

bascially, just change your profile pictures to black. Myself, I've added "blackout Ireland" to mine so ppl get the point.

WHy does this matter to you or me, if we're not in Ireland? If they can get away with it there, they can get away with it anywhere....

Short story

2009-02-28T02:32:00.004-06:00

Right, well, this is posted on Deviant art ( http://brutus87.deviantart.com/art/Loss-and-Love-114373360 ).

I haven't sat down and tried to do fanfiction in...well, sense sometime last semester at the very least. I have never posted any online before. Ever. THis is a first.

I was out drinking tonite, with some friends at their apartment. Had a blast. Got back to the dorm, needed to make sure i was sober enough, and had drank enough water so I wouldn't get a hangover.

I ended up sitting down and writing this. First short fanfic I ever made. Shit, first completed fan fiction I've ever done. All the others are thes multichapter epics that have yet to be finished (tho after tonite, I think I'm going to work on one again, if I can find it).

This is in response to the latest chaprter of Naruto, of all damn things. Go figure.

Anyways, lots of thanks to Jacen, for giving it a once over before I posted it. He convinced me to keep all the story in there ( I was debating the last paragraph or two). He reinforced that it seemed like I had made the right choice as far as kind of ending, yano, Happy or Sad.

If you dont read/follow Naruto, hopefully this will still be decently pretty/moving. Just place yourself in the one role, and someone you love in the other.

Anywho, heres the story. I'm going to bed.

Loss and Love:

He sat there, hands trembling, bound in bandages, in the hospital room, as the first tears fell from his eyes. Stark with pain, they seemed to stare at the figure in the bed, and into space at the same time. A short life, full of hurt, lonelyness, emptyness. Friends were few and far between, love, nigh on nonexistant. The closest thing he'd ever had to a brother had left him, tried to kill him. Two surrugate grandfathers, one a true mentor, both dead. A replacement father, so to speak, possibly dead. Two parents he'd never met. So much pain, in so few years. More then anyone his age should have had to bear.

Add to that the battle. Devistating. Half the city, wipped out of existance. So much death and destruction, all because one madman wanted him. Wanted to use him, and leave him for dead, and people whom had hated him most his life, stood and said "no". He had to save them, he had to return. ANd so he did. It was costly, it was bloody...It was indecisive. The enemy had managed to escape. Beaten. Broken. Free, none the less. And what did he have to show for it? He lost control. He nearly killed his own people, as well as the enemy. And now his body was broken, it would be ages before he would be able to stand up and defend them again. Not that it mattered, not any more.

No, all that mattered to the boy, the man now, at this point, was the woman laying in front of him. So shy, so simple, never obtrusive, always careful, always in the background, never noticed. How could he not have seen? How could he have been so blind. The one thing that he longed for, so much, so very desperately much, in his life, lay beaten and broken on the bed. Someone so delicate, but so strong, so beautiful. To see her this way, to hear her last words, before she was struck down, broke his heart in two, deeper then any wound delt to him in the battle.

Love. She loved him. She said it, then rushed head long to protect him. He inspired her. Gave her reasons to keep on living. She loved him, and he never realized it. Never once noticed. How he had longed for love, followed like a lost puppy one girl, to never see that what he wanted, what he needed, was right behind him all along. To come so close, so very close...to loosing it all....

The tears fell faster, staining the sheets, falling freely, as he has no shame left, no pride to keep his tears at bay. Tears, falling like raindrops. So many tears. They were all he had left. He had no voice. He was afraid, that if he spoke, it woudl all be gone.

For the tears were not of pain, sadness, or loss. They were of bewilderment, of hope, of love. He'd been sitting there, for two days, silent as a tomb. Not eating, barely sleeping. Holding her hand in his, praying with all he was, for a mirical. He cried, and cried, because her hand, her broken hand, had squeezed his wounded one, and lips, red from cuts, had parted, saying simply...

"Naruto..."

ITs all it took. One word, one small short word. His name. IT broke the dam inside. Everything that he'd held back, came rushing forward. The tears flowed faster, as his head sunk, to lay against hers. All he could manage, all he could force himself to say, he did, in a hoarse whisper

"Hinata....oh thank god, Hinata..."

Life's ups and downs...mostly downs.

2009-02-17T12:59:00.009-06:00

[Rant]People drive me nuts. They always have. But the more I deal with the general public the more evident that my patience is slowly diminishing. One of my biggest pet peeves is the lack of manners and listening skills people seem to have. The lack of "Pleases" and "Thank yous" are growing. Maybe people are just on edge due to the poor state of our economy. What people fail to realize is, our generation is that of spoiled brats. But I'll save that rant for another day. ah listening skills. Remember in elementary/Jr. high we had to take a listening skills test? I think 85% of the people I deal with on a daily basis would fail, if they took it. You ask them one thing and they answer with something completely non-related to the question. I mean...when does "What kind of bread?" translate to "would you like a meal?" (Yes I still work at subway. =P) Another thing that pisses me off, is idiots who are on their cell phone, while you're trying to help them with their order. Drives me nuts. Especially, when they think just because no one is behind them, you have all the time in the world to wait around for them to make their order. This isn't McDonalds. We don't have 10 people who could serve you. I have other shit to do. -__- Or worse when there is an ungodly line behind them, and their 30 second order is turning into a 5 minute ordeal, because they have to take orders off their cell. ok I'm done. I feel a bit better...[/rant]

Anyway, Alaster got sick for about a week. (My computer) He caught some seriously nasty malware. It attacked my OS. My computer would only start every once in a while. It got so bad, that I resorted to some drastic measures...I went to Best Buy. Because we all know Circuit City went bankrupt. =__= I bought a 500GB external Hardrive($89, not bad) and Webroot Spysweeper with Antivirus ($50 not too too bad for supposed good shit) I saved all my anime, music, and artworks onto my external, and reformatted Alaster completely. Then I installed Webroot, and Spybot Search and Destroy. I'll be getting a flashdrive with Macfee, and other antiviral software, for like $30 on my next paycheck. I'm broke right now due to Valentines Day spending.

ooo speaking of Valentines Day, it's also our Anniversary ((4 years of me being with my manfriend)) He bought me 3 roses, and a cakes with this picture on it:and one other rose on the cake to make 4 roses. I wish I had taken a pic of it, but the battery on the camera was dead, and we were both drooling over the cake. lol Que ended up working on V-day, but i treated him to Dinner at O'Charleys afterward.

Well I took a pregnancy test to see if there was anything to the expanding belly of mine. Only to find out I'm just getting fat. =__= So I've decided to start a diet and work-out regiment, and was planning on doing that starting yesterday...Only to have a 100.5 temp all day. I couldn't move, and was sick as a dog. Totally sucked, because I didn't get to exercise or go and play the Zombie RPG that was scheduled for Monday. T_T Plus I had to call out of work today.

Anyway, overall, it's good to Have Alaster up and running. I finally got all the programs I wanted back on him, with the exception of Photoshop.[cough] I'll remedy that later. ^___^

Seriosuly...you know you're a geek when you spend $139 on your computer but won't go to the doctor. ^__^;;;

Nothing really new but hey, I have my page up

2009-02-15T20:31:00.002-06:00

Hey there kids~

I wanted to tell everyone that I finally posted up netaidol.com. I set up a forum and everything over there as well....just like any other web comic site. Unfortunately due to me being sick and switching hours, it'll be time before the posting for all the comics will be up...plus I'm gonna toss up some cool things that aren't needed but are cool.

Feel free to stop by =D

I'll still come here now and then too when I have time so that Bru isn't the only one posting things.

P.S. Thanks for the keys Bru

There are good people afterall

2009-02-09T21:44:00.002-06:00

So, I have had a very unfortunate few days:

Friday, I loose my baseball hat. This wouldn't be a big deal, 'cept the hat was from the Orange Bowl, that my University won back in early January. From the actual game. $30 hat. Gone.

Saturday: My dorm key falls off the key ring. Pretty sure this happend at Wal-Mart. Pretty sure I'll never see it again, though I'm going to go check a friend of mine's car, that I rode in, on the off chance it didn't actually fall out till I was back in the car. Wal-Mart says they couldn't find it, and no one had turned it into the lost and found. The school says I have till Friday to find the Key, before I will have to pay to replace the key. Its not juts "oh, we'll make a copy". Nope. Virginia Tech is a State Institution, which means the locks on the dorm door, the mailbox that corrisponds to my dorm door, my key, my roommates key, and the "Loaner Key" that I'm using now, have to be replaced. There goes $50....

To top it all off, Tonight: I get out of dinner at 6:50. By the time I get to the academic building across campus (6:55) I realize my phone has fallen out of my pocket. I go back, retrace my route, check the dining hall. No phone on the ground, no one has found it at the dining hall. Go back to the academic building, sit through the meeting I was now late for. Borrow a friends phone, try to call and text my phone, nothing.

So I'm panicing at this point, right? Really bad day, phone gone, gonna cost a fortune to replace, etc, etc.

I get back to my dorm around 8pm. Theres an email from my Mom. At about 6:52 (two minutes after my phone goes mia), my Mom got a call from a girl who found my phone, and told her to tell me that she would be droping it off at the Student Union. I get there before she does, leave contact info with the Lost and Found at Squires (thats the school's Student Union), and about 8:50, I get a call telling me my phones been dropped off.

Phone probably could have sold for $40-60 on the internet. There are truly some good people on this planet.

small gripe

2009-02-01T13:32:00.004-06:00

So, the superbowl is tonite. My team didn't make it, but I decided as soon as I found out the Redskins wouldn't be in the playoffs, to root form whom I thought would be the most unlikely candidate to win: the Cardinals. And since they made it to the superbowl, I'm pretty entertained, and will be cheering them on all night. Heres the problem tho:

I'm going over to my friends apartment. There are 3, count em, 3 High Def 36 inch or larger Plasma Screen Tv's there, with HD Cable. Now, 36inches aint that big, but its a damn sight better then what I got. I watched the superbowl there last year on HD, and it was awesome. If I can, I will never watch the big game one something that isnt HD. I digress.

The game is probably going to last a while. Its a Sunday night, tho, and that means the busses stop running to my friends apartment at 10:30. Odds are, the game wont be over by then. Here in lies my issue. Why the hell wont the University do something smart for once, and extend the bus hours on nights like this. Last year we had reports of a good deal of students getting plastered and having trouble getting back to Campus. Not everyone has friends they can call on for a lift. I'm lucky. One of my friends agreed to pick me up this year after the game. Not everyone will get that chance.

All I'm saying is, the University I go to should really use their heads some times, and have the busses run a little later on Sunday night, when theres a big game like the Superbowl on. I realize it's not a University sponsered event, but the guys in charge should know that most students are going to be interested, and probalby off campus, and probably drunk to boot. I wish the people in charge would use their heads some times....

Too soon?

2009-01-28T15:14:00.003-06:00

So im not sure how many ppl know or not, but the other day, there was an incident in one fo the residence halls on campus. Long and short, one dude chopped off a chicks head in one of the on campus coffee shops in a dorm. Pretty gahstly, esspecially considering Virginia Tech has a small history of students snapping and killing people :p

Something that struck me as stupid was some comments/ letters to the editor from concerned partents. Some parents want to "ban asian students" from attending Tech, since both incidents were perpertratied by asian students. Personally, thats pretty stupid. But its sad how quickly people jumped on that as a solution. Other parents are telling their kids "not to make any friends with Asian students" or "to keep a distance from the Asians". Meanwhile, the university is bending over backwards shitting itself, because all those security measures they put in place to protect studetns really didnt stop homedude from hacking of this chicks head with a kitchen knife. It's made for an interesting week, to say the least.

But to hte point of my rant (other then keeping this place alive). I'm sitting in class, and my teacher is ranting on about something. Is on topic, and he's doint it in a funny way. Its great. Suddenly, a student complains, and suggests the teacher might want to move onto the next subject. Ballsy student. The teachers reply "well, what are you gonna do, Chop my head off?". Class kinda goes quite, then about maybe half of us start laughing. I'm left wondering tho....Too Soon?

Boy am I lazy!

2009-01-26T00:56:00.001-06:00

Hey there again kids! It looks like this site is near dead *nod*

Starting the 9th of Feb I will be working my 3-11 shift so I'll probly not be around for you folks as much as I should. Also, I did buy www.netaidol.com tho there is nothing up so there's no point looking quite yet. We're slowly waiting for the templates to be sent to me before I do anyhing. Also, I'm using joomla and cpanel which I have NO CLUE how to use and am overly confused on how I'm supposed to make my site...

An Excuse and a Poem

2009-01-21T19:27:00.002-06:00

Sorry for the extended absence, folks! Things haven't been hectic or anything, but I've just been lazy or had nothing to write about. =P Today, though, I would like to share one of my favorite poems I wrote a couple of years ago. Critique and comments are always welcome! Gah, I always have a hard time showing my work. Especially my poetry.

Toxicity

Your lips against mine,
Our bodies in a slow grind
The sweet caress of your fingers,
Brushing over my thigh.

It’s that damn poison, baby-
You’ve got me on a constant high.

My heart tells me to stop, while
My body gently coaxes you in

This is wrong, so wrong-
Why does it feel so right?
Why does your darkness
Seem like my light?
You get me so hot
But my heart is so cold

Why couldn’t I just do as I was told?

Why can’t I learn to leave you alone?

It’s that damn poison, baby
I’m addicted in every sense of the word
Living in a constant high…

While you’re killing me on the inside.

This is on my deviantart account too... you all should take a look-see. *waggles eyebrows* Also, maybe you guys could even request certain styles or themes from me and my stories? Whatever you'd like to see in writing, and I'd do my best to execute it. What do ya think?

I Love Bricks

2009-01-16T00:46:00.002-06:00

Okay, well this is a good time to say that I love bricks. I keep buying and getting my Xbox 360s repaired. I still stand by the system as the games are fun, but damn, this is xbox #6 going in for repairs. Its funny too cause I looked and this ne was purchased feb 13th 2008 and its already bricked.

Okay, for the good news tho, I have paid for webspace and I SHOUD have netaidol.com for my page. I don't know if it's registered yet, I'll know tomorrow I guess. BTW, I have a webcomic. Isn't that swell?

Oh Internet Service
Oh Internet Service
Why hath thou been cut?

Oh internet service
Oh internet service
Why put me into a rut?

Is it because thy mailing system sucks?
My bills I doth not receive
Your claims of fixing it, I doth not believe

No blogging will I do
It's all thanks to you
Your service is a real big con
for online gaming n00bs shall not be pwned

As you laugh at my discontent in glee
no games, or looking at art of badassery

As you bastards roll around in thy money piles
there is no pictures, images, or sharing files

Oh Internet service
Oh Internet Service
Why hath thou tormented me so

Oh Internet Service
Oh Internet Service
Thy company shall burning in a thousand fires a glow

The nerve of some people

2009-01-05T19:20:00.002-06:00

Right so, ever have one of those days when you go "what the hell is this jackass thinking?" Well, that happened to me yesterday.

So far, breaks been wonderful for me. Errands to run and what not, but overall, fine and dandy. Spent a whole week+ with the girlfriend in DC, time of my life. Get home last night, check my school mail, and I've got an email marked "Urgent" from one of my professors for next semester. Now, I've never met this guy, but let me tell you, he's made a bad impression. The bastard has assigned homework due the 26th of January, and warns that we should start it asap, as its gonna take "5-10 hours to do, and there will be another assignment sent out next week". Now, to make sure you understand, this shit is giving us work to do, on break (which your not supposed to do) BEFORE the semester has even STARTED!

Now, please, if my being pissed at this is irrational, please let me know :P (dont really tell me if im being irrational, i'll just say nasty things about you :P )

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T02:30:00.001-06:00

Well, the title says it all folks. It's a brand new year, 2009. I hope everyone has a wonderful, productive new year!

Hate My Life

2008-12-27T00:30:00.003-06:00

Ori-o and I heard this song, sadly I couldn't find it on Imeem so it couldn't be made into a daily song. So I figured I'd post what I could find. Enjoy

Hate My Life - Theory of a Deadman

While I'm out and about posting things this night, I figure I'd link you all to another interesting sight.

Prop 8: The Musical.

Life is full of it...

2008-12-26T17:07:00.007-06:00

well you all have been wondering what's been going on with Ori...((Hoping I choked and died have you? >:D )) Well too bad. I've been working on a bit of arts here and there. Starting a collab project with The Meatshield. and also doing some sketches on my own. I'll post them in a later blog entry.

Happy Late Christmas, everyone. =3

Carol Of The Bells - Trans Siberian Orchestra

My Appendix ASPLODED! T_T

2008-12-23T14:22:00.003-06:00

Yes, you heard right. Asploded. Not a fun thing. I woke up last Friday with horrible pain in my stomach. I thought it was just a stomach bug but, when it didn't go away by that night I went to the ER. They gave me a CT scan and took me right back to surgery. Luckily, they were able to do it laparoscopically, three small incisions, a scope, a laser, and bam, you're done. I was up and walking that same day. It was...very painful but I had to do it. I was practically swimming in IV fluids. Had to keep making that trip to the bathroom. >_< Not only that, the only pain meds they gave me were 2-5 mg of morphine every four hours! I couldn't even tell a difference with that little pain medication. Ah well. I'm alive. ^_^ I'm home now and feeling pretty good, if sore. Slowly but surely healing up. I'm off to nap now, didn't get much sleep in the hospital. I hope to have a new review up for everyone soon! Good night all, and good luck!

A Question

2008-12-16T15:37:00.004-06:00

Wow... it's been eight days since the last post! Well, I figured I'd put a post up with a little question for all you artistic people out there: What do you do when you have writer's/artist's block? Do you cry and throw stuff at the wall? Do you read your favorite book or watch your favorite movie? Take a stroll through the park and try to find inspiration in nature? Or do you just forget all about your artistic pursuits for the moment and then continue when the block goes away? I'm especially curious because I have an intense level of block right now, as well as an even worse case of boredom. I need stimulation, damnit! Got any suggestions?

And also, I'm trying to figure out why sexy scenes are so hard for me to write. Maybe because I haven't had any? >_> But I've never cut off someone's fingers with a katana or hang glided off a skyscraper either, and both those things came to me with no problem. Weird.

Your mom's a rooftop & Dear PETA

2008-12-08T20:23:00.003-06:00

I'm updating, cause it's been a whole 5 days since a post! I really dunno what to tell yo guys either but I want to know what's up with y'all. Starting Jan 15th, anyone who likes Naruto will have to go on Naruto.com to watch the eps of Shippuuden. I'm kind of fearing there will be a buncha stupid commercials and we'll lose the fun of it. Also, I wont be aleto download them, store them, then never watch them again. Anyone know of anyone other than Dattebayo that releases eps? I know Datt is gonna stop their airing so I'm like ugh.

On a lazy note, does anyone have a reallllllllllly favorite video game for the NES? I'm looking at making another scarf and obviously the pixly NES is the best way to go with making stuff. Who knows, I may spread Christmas cheer with a scarf or whatnot for someone. Anyone who doesn't know of my crocheting shud check out my dA link on the side. Usually I'm lazyandm ake things like mittens, scarves, and hats (with cat ears). That or I'll draw (Yes Bru, I'll get to you next....who else is joining the fun?)

Uhhhhh, for work we had to choose a state to be in. I intelligently chose Wisconsin (I was 19th to choose)...so anyone out there, I know all your rules and regulations. I was laughing cause like, if I really want, there's a good chance I can work in WA...around Seattle I think...with a pay raise. Fun fun!

Oh! PETA is telling us to tell the wildlife fish federation or something to stop torturing fish...but cause fish is such a horrible name, they refer to fish as "sea kittens." Anyone who knows me, knows that I am Mac, and not PC. (Ha ha...get the joke? I love PC's but I hate politically correct...) So, you were supposed to send a petition letter of which they pre-wrote for you! Seriously, what idiots. So, I used the PETA site and sent an email. Here it is:

Please ignore PETA's silly requests as anyone who calls a fish a "sea kitten" seriously has some issues. I believe this if any action is to be taken, that we get some psychologists to look after the people of PETA as they seem to have some serious issues here. There should be no torture to mankind listening to such mindless dribble and I believe that the FWS is doing a fine job as it is.

I didn't read the junk that was on this main page, but if you would like a good chuckle, here is the link: http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/about.asp

Please don't change or fall to such silly demands with terms such as "sea kittens" as a flower by any other name would smell just as sweet.

Sincerely,

A Muscaro.

The State of Brutus

2008-12-03T14:59:00.002-06:00

Right, so, I just got back from Thanksgiving break, which was much needed, tho not as great as it could have been. For one, I didn't get any work I had planed to done, and all this week I have been paying for it, dearly. Me and sleep have not seen much of each other, and I am so sick of typing papers I almost want to chuck my computer out the window (working on a damn 20 page paper will do that). Also, we're behind on comming up with presentations and yeah, kicking my ass all over the place.

The big downside of the break tho, was the call I got Tuesday Night. Turns out a friend of mine had tried to kill himself. He managed not to, backed out at the end, called the cops, and was rescued. Turns out he had some kind of latent non diagnosed case of depression. We don;t think he'll be coming back next semester, which sucks. What sucks more is he visited the apartment he'd been at before his mom took him home, but she wouldnt let him stay the 5 extra minutes for me to see him and say hi and what not, so I'm a wee bit upset with her right now.

All of that aside tho, the break was good. I did get to relax, and my girlfriend was able to come down. The family seemed ok with it, which is good, cause I intend to have her come back down for Christmas. It might be harder to get that Ok'd with my family tho. They can be...old fashioned and bitchy about things. Christmas is for family and what not, and they may not want my girlfriend there. They might be thinking that I'm moving "too fast" but really, when your own grandmother got married 6 months after meeting her husband, do my mom and dad have any room to bitch? No, I didnt think so.

But yeah, right now I'm sitting in the campus library, taking a break between working on different projects, trying for the love of God to get the damn song "Baby its cold out side" out of my head :P....stupid music.....

Shading, parsay

2008-11-25T23:21:00.004-06:00

Okay, well for all the lucky suckers out in the US, I want to give y'all a pre-emp Happy Thanksgiving. I can't complain about it cause I get paid to stay home Thurs-Sun. Uhm, I'm actually going to start drawing up (trying to at least) more of the chars in my style. What does that do for anyone? Nothing. Nothing at all. But it is cool, right? I think it is at least. I really don't know what else to yap to people about right now. I'm just making sure we keep fresh here =DI shaded this and blah blah. Uhm, Yeah, like I said, more people, I'll draw. Who is in the blogmic anywho? All of us just three at a time in time? Sounds nifty. Somewhere in here there will be a delay tho cause I need to do Suomi Pride 3 (well, 4) cause yeah, all my Finnish pride is intact? I don't know.

-End post.

Things i do with my time

2008-11-23T14:41:00.002-06:00

Well, its been a few months now, but an RP site that I hang out on has finally switched over to a new forum, and I've decided to try and do a recruiting push on their behalf (maybe wrangle myself a new promotion). The RP is Expedition Fleets, and its a Star Trek RP forum, revolving around three ships: The USS Vendetta, the USS Broadsword, and the USS Beissman (a Marine ship). ITs set around about 25 years or so after Nemisis (the last TNG Movie), and its got lots of references to all kinds of other scifi shows. Its a pretty fun little group of people, and if you like mostly free form rp, and star trek, and dont mind suspending a little bit of disbelief, then this group is for you.

The forum site is: http://www.expeditionfleet.net/forum/index.php

and the ship sites are:

USS Vendetta: http://ussvendetta.expeditionfleet.net/sms/#A

USS Broadsword: http://ussbroadsword.expeditionfleet.net/sms/

USS Biessman: http://ussbiessman.expeditionfleet.net/index.php?page=main

Really tho, we've got lots of positions to fill, the ships are preping to launch on new missions, and we'd love to have some more players pitch in and have a good time.

So give us a shot, we promise not to bite.....much.....

Happy Birthday Me

2008-11-22T02:10:00.003-06:00

Yeah, I guess I'll be the one saying happy birthday to me. Uhm...I feel kinda bad pushing that blogmic page down more but I guess Ori can have that as part of the layout somewhere...if not I'll talk something out. Anywho, I too did a picture that was for fun for the blogmic. I'm more of a shojo person so yeah, my style doesn't resemble Ori's much at all. It also helps if Ori keeps the same style to things as it's hard to mimic jello =p. I just called ur art jello. I think this is the full picture if you click on it. If someone is compelled to color a messy picture, by all means, do so. It's okay looking...coulda did better...also I notice I got this thing for drawing diagnally.

Uhhhhhmm...not much else I guess. I'm listening to Meja and I am always late to the draw, but I love her late 90's stuff. Her voice is so...just I dunno...listening to her music has such an effect on me that either cheers me up or calms me to a mellow state.

Oh, and for fun, a little old skool writing for laughs for those who never got to see it:

Word yo, I'm Mario
A plumber fighting Wario
Pimpin' my princess to King Koopa
Not paying so I fight the Koopa Troopa
Eating my mushrooms
Bringing bad guys to their doom
Grabbing a fire flower
Frying goombas with my power

No one stands in my way
I look at the Boo and he goes astray
Pirana plants get fried
Kicking them off to the side
Entering the pipe in the ground
Finding 1-ups in blocks I pound
Platforms rising and falling
Jumping past them as the time limit's calling

Through another pipe into the water
Burning Cheep-Cheeps into seaweed fodder
The final castle where Bowser resides
Stomping Bullet Bills to get where the princess hides
Getting past fireballs and grabbing the axe
Bowser falls into the flames as the bridge contracts
Getting back the lady and all the mushroom men
Waiting for Bowser to steal her all over again

Chatty oddness:

Drawing Stress

2008-11-21T04:46:00.011-06:00

Click image to read comic:

no seriously. It's all good.
I already have the next page planned out, and I'm working on the sketches.

These are gonna be the silly versions of KOTNM.

I won't start putting up story, until I get about 10 pages of story comic done. @__@

--------
Anyway, working hard, fighting the forces of.....good, and praying to god people don't light the fuse that is my temper.

My district manager almost lit that fuse.
My manager, my district manager, and myself, were talking about Prop 8, and that it was in the process of being established California. Now being the Catholic that she is(and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Catholics and Christians at all.); she makes a comment something along the lines of:

"You know what's really ironic, when gay marriage was legalized there, before Prop 8, there were all kinds of fires, and storms, and earthquakes. It was like God was punishing them."

Ori was doing his best to not get fired at that point.
What was going through Ori's head at the time:
That doesn't make you any better than the religious radicals that decide to crash planes into our buildings(Although I swear it's still an inside job by Bush and his administrators but we won't get into that) and justifying, that it was in the name of their god, or god's wrath.

To be honest, I could care less if a same sex couple gets married. It doesn't harm me in any way. However, Prop 8 does harm me. It takes the marital ceremony, and puts it into the government's hands. meaning if you get married in a church or chapel, or elope, it's not legal until you go through the government. Also it gets rid of domestic partnership.

Anyway, I'm thinking of having art contests on the blog....Opinions welcome and encouraged.

Oh...and I leave you with a video of epic badassery!

Fire

2008-11-21T00:40:00.003-06:00

I saw a building burn down the other day, really it was quite a site. The building had been under construction for a few months and wasn't nearly finished so no one was there. Anyway, it was the first time I saw a building completely engulfed in flames. Fire soaring out in an inferno as firefighters try with little success to stem the flame. Smoldering wreckage flying off as the building slowly collapses in flaming lumps.

My thoughts as I sat there for near half an hour watching the fire-fighters struggle to put it out was. "Why the hell am I getting so giddy watching a building burn down." All the while trying to keep myself from grinning like an idiot. So, yes it was a bad thing, building going up in smoke like that. But I couldn't help but to just be awed by the sight of a 2 story building billowing flames. Part of me wishes to see an even larger fire at this point, the other part slaps myself and says that would be very bad and I know it. *sigh*

Well, I'll always have the memory...

Self-Promotion! cough

2008-11-20T08:12:00.002-06:00

I figured that, for my second post of the month, I'd show you guys the first chapter of my original story, Angels. It's... kind of sketchy, but that's because I'm doing it for NaNoWriMo, where editing is not allowed. If you have any tips or praise or criticisms or whatever, fire away! I don't mind.

Chapter One: Forever Silenced?

Have you ever read The Five People You Meet in Heaven? Well, my story kind of starts out like that. I say ‘kind of’ because my story doesn’t start when I end up getting killed from a dysfunctional carnival ride while trying to save a young girl. I’d never get an awesome death like that. Instead, I die for a totally stupid, selfish reason – slitting my wrists. In my defense, it was an accident at first, but that doesn’t exactly justify the fact that I was cutting myself in the first place. What can I say; I have a problem coping with my issues. But that’s not the point. The point is - I died. I died in a horrible way, lying on a cold, linoleum floor all alone, watching the blood seeping out of me and not being able to do anything to stop it. I died with the sound of a 911 operator shouting frantically in my ear when I didn’t respond. I died with the realization that although I’ll never go to college or get a career and have two point five children, at least I won’t have to be in pain anymore. And in those days, I had a lot of pain. I can’t remember it too clearly anymore, but I assume that is was there.

Death isn’t like what people think it is. It’s a lot… darker. Heaven is nothing but a big black void, actually, or at least that’s the way it is in my heaven at first. What does that mean? Well, here, let me start at the beginning.

I died in December. It was snowing. The air was fresh and ice cold, and as I trudged home from school one afternoon it made the hairs on my arms stand up and my teeth chatter. The roads were filled with dark gray or brown slush, which only seemed to amplify my bad mood. Life wasn’t exactly good when you’d been rejected once again by the guy you were madly in love with, who just happened to be your best friend, and the girl that he was in love with was your worst enemy (in your mind, anyway), who was so much more prettier and smarter and more popular than you. When I looked in the mirror back in those days, I saw nothing but inadequacy, and it broke me. I believe it was the first time that Terrell – the aforementioned boy – rejected my love when I came from school and cut myself. I realize that it’s a bad idea to formulate your opinion of yourself based on that of a boy, but whoever said teenage girls were logical? The cut that killed me was ironic in that it was an accident – I had slid that razor over my flesh (across the street, not down the road) when the phone rang, loud and hard.

I jumped. The house had been dead (pardon the pun) quiet before then, and the blaring noise shocked me. The razor went wild, slicing much deeper and closer to my wrist than I had intended. And then the blood oozed out; bright red and angry and beautifully dangerous.

I didn’t think it was that serious. It seemed superficial at first, just one of those cuts that bleed a lot very quickly but really didn’t require more than a bandage. But after I pressed a wet towel to the wound and went on with my business, I started to feel woozy. I removed the towel, and though five minutes had passed it was still bleeding. In a panic I called 911.

“I think I’m dying,” I told the operator, sitting cross-legged on the bathroom floor. I glanced up at the clock. 4:30 P.M. My dad would be home soon, and needless to say he would be very displeased if he found his daughter bleeding all over his clean tiles and bath rugs.

“What is the nature of your emergency?” The operator - a woman - answered in a bored, you’re-so-not-dying tone. Idly, I remember thinking that that’s not the impression someone trained to help you is supposed to give off.

I glanced down at my wrist, wiping away another large puddle of blood forming on my arm. The gash underneath it was ragged and ugly. “I slit my wrist.”

The operator made an ‘hmm’ sound. “Are you suicidal?”

“No. It was an accident. Are you calling an ambulance or what?”

“What is the address of your current residence, ma’am?” I told her. “An ambulance is on its way, ma’am. In the mean time, I want you to follow my instructions carefully, okay?”

I peered under the towel again, feeling nauseous. “Okay.”

“I want you to apply pressure to the wound with a clean towel. Don’t move it for any reason.”

I guiltily replaced the towel on my wrist and pressed hard, wincing from the pain. “Okay, I did that.”

“Good. Now make sure to keep it elevated - above your chest, okay? Keep calm, and breathe deeply if you start to feel nauseous.”

I nodded even though I knew she couldn’t see me. Really though, would dying be so bad? I had diabetes and asthma, and my best friend didn’t want anything to do with me anymore. My parents were divorced and I was often depressed. Why else would I have been cutting in the first place? I looked at the old scars adorning my forearms and legs, and I began to wonder. What would it be like if I died, I thought? Wouldn’t it be great if I didn’t have to deal with this shit anymore? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I didn’t have to worry about getting good grades when I really couldn’t care less? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could just sleep forever, instead of living the life everyone else wanted me to lead? Who was to say that I hadn’t been working up to suicide in the first place? I hadn’t necessarily believed a year ago that I would start cutting, either. As more and more blood left my body, I was scared, and yet, I was at peace. No more dealing with the harsh realities of life. No more watching the world go to hell around me. It’s not that I believed in an afterlife or anything, but I was happy to admit that if I died, I could be completely, utterly, at peace. No more pain. Just… nothing.

And it was with this stupid belief in mind that I took my razor in hand and made another cut; this time, I actually did go down the road. It hurt like a sonuvabitch, and I found myself crying out in pain as more blood spurted all over the place. After a couple minutes, however, the pain subsided, leaving me comfortable, unequivocally, numb. I allowed myself to smile even as tears slipped down my cheeks.

“Miss? Miss?” The operator called frantically. “Are you still there? Please answer me so I can now you’re still conscious.”

“It’s all right,” I slurred, my eyelids drawing closed. “I don’t need help anymore.”

“Miss?! What do you mean? Has the ambulance arrived?”

“No,” I answered, lying belly up on the floor. I removed the towel from my arm and let the blood ooze on to the rug. I didn’t need help to die. I could do that all by myself. I do remember thinking that it was sad to die alone, though, watching as all my blood from my arm seeped into the cracks of the tiles and into the fibers of the bathmats. But I didn’t exactly want my parents to see me like this either… The blood was such a bright red, it was intoxicating. It’s amazing how full of the stuff we all are. I’d never seen so much blood – outside of the movies, anyway. After that little observation, there was nothing. I can only assume that I fell unconscious before I finally died.

But I was there when my dad found my body thirty minutes later, the sight of blood so appalling that it caused him to fall to his knees. I remember reaching out to him, but having my hand fade right through his big, soft warm body.

It’s odd being a ghost. I whispered my final goodbye before everything finally faded away.

To Aru Majutsu no Index

2008-11-17T17:48:00.002-06:00

Hullo again sports fans. Jacen here with another anime for you to enjoy. To Aru Majutsu no Index, a.k.a. A Certain Magical Index; in a world where psychic powers are common but magic supposedly doesn't exist, Kamijō Tōma, a low level esper who's only ability seems to be canceling out other's powers with his right hand, is sent on a wild ride when a nun by the name of Index shows up on his doorstep claiming to be chased by Sorcerers...and turns out not to be lying.

This series is fun, well written and action packed with some truly beautiful animation. The story is compelling and seems to only be getting better after the introduction eps. Tōma is a good guy, unfortunately suffering from seemingly unending bad luck. Index is precious, cute as a button. Fan service so far has been kept to a minimum thankfully and the show seems to be a good mix of comedy and action with actual story thrown in. Hopefully it will stay that way. I recommend this one highly and as we're only up to episode seven, now is a good time to get in.

That's all for now. Good night, and keep watching the skis! Uhh...skies...>_> (ten points if you get the reference ^_^)

Sayonara,

Jacen

P.S. Happy Birthday Ori-Kun and Kei-Chan! You're both another year more awesome!

Guess what Today IS?

2008-11-15T10:54:00.002-06:00

Turns out its Ori's birthday. Thats right. So remember to wish her a happy birthday, and bug the shit out of her, and remind her she's getting old *nod nod* ;)

in all honesty, Happy Birthday Ori!

i leave you cake

Kei's Quota

2008-11-14T09:42:00.002-06:00

I have a quota to keep here...and I'm exceeding it half way through the month.

Now, I don't have much to say at the moment, but I figure to contribute along with things, I'll add some posts about something that is amusing. I wanted to do like in Family Guy and have a "You know what grinds my gears" kinda thing, and maybe I will, tho it's overdone quite a bit, but I can always make it more amusing. I'm Kei, and I love to comedy it up...or just complain about lots of things.

But seriously tho, know what grinds my gears? When people just walk across the street in traffic. Usually I stop for people, but now that I go to Springfield, I wanna hit people. It's like I stop and let someone go and they have their pants down to their knees and they walk like as slow as possible as if there's nothing in the world going on save for the 100 people waiting to go by. I mean, I know it's hard to walk with pants that low, and then I wonder why wear pants at all at that point. But I digress, there's tons of people who are in a cross walk for about a millisecond while there's traffic and just think its okay to jump out and walk slow. It makes me feel one of the poor drivers in Saints Row where you just fall out in front of a car and get hit to get money. I'm hoping one day they realize we need a good bumper system like with bumper cars where you can just effectively hit people to the side without killing them. Maybe not, I don't know. I guess then I'd be going out of my way to hit everyone on the sidewalk and especially deaf people. I can dream.

And one last note before I run to work. I was on a site getting some costumes and I saw in the maid section that the #3 bestseller is a Men's Large (or XL, I forget) maid costume. Is that not odd or creepy? Coming from me, I guess it's funny, but yeah lol, I just found that as hilarious.

Anywho, I hope everyone has fun, and if you REALLY wanna be a maid, come to me. I'll be the guy in the maid costume...but then again they're just SOOOO COMMON so good luck finding me!

Chatty Goodness No. 4 & 5

2008-11-11T14:32:00.006-06:00

Ah...I'm starting to miss these. So here's one from #Misfile chatroom on an IRC channel.:

[14:25] Kadunta: "I'm an introverted male with an academic degree. 'Renovate to your liking'."
[14:25] Oriphan: I think I'm getting turned on....
[14:25] Oriphan: lol

[14:25] Kei: So you're an old skool Finn
[14:25] Starke: er
[14:25] Starke: fuck

[14:26] Kei: yeah.
[14:26] Starke: I hit enter instead of '
[14:26] Oriphan: lmao
[14:26] Kei: uh huh
[14:26] Kadunta: I don't know how it goes in English... but "Renovate to your liking" in house ads means "Inhabitable without a thorough renovation."
[14:26] Kei: that'swhat's called a freudian slip =p
[14:26] Oriphan: Well I have this itch on the inside of my throat I was hoping you could take care of, Starkeh
[14:26] Kei: renovate to your liking means "change me however you want"
[14:27] Kadunta: Yah. That too.

[14:29] Starke: that one tends to make for akward dates
[14:29] Kei: lol =p

We end up having the most fucked up convos sometimes. lol

Yes I had one in real life that was fun. It happened During D&D yesterday. I can't quote it word for word, but I'll try my best:

Julie: So would I be able to see the enemy passed the wolf?
Dan2: Well yeah
Miso Dan: Well, if you think about it, a wolf doesn't take up all those squares. I mean a wolf consists of legs, teeth and claws.
Ori: No you won't. Wolves take up 10 ft squares because they're cubed. [snickers]
[pauses for a moment....]
I'ma draw that.
[wonders if you could apply a gelatinous cube template to a wolf....]
And I added the Ranger(Dwarf) Who would be the proud owner of the wolf...and a donkey named Spanky. lol.

Hope you guys enjoyed this.

Hai Guiz 8D

2008-11-09T09:44:00.002-06:00

So, I guess I should use my first official post of the month to introduce myself. I'm Kazaein (don't ask what that means - I don't know either) and I live in the United States Midwest. I am a lover of all things Asian, Spanish, African... basically anything that has nothing to do with my own culture. I suppose that should warning bells off in my head, but so far I guess not... >_> I'm here as a writer knight, so writing I shall do. Probably a lot of poems and short stories ahead, but I also like to prattle on forever on my opinion about stuff. Usually it's a mixed bag.

I love anime/manga, so it's nice to know a lot of you do, too! Not that I've been reading or watching anything new lately... I've had volume one of D-Grayman for two months now and I STILL haven't read it, but some of my all time favorite series are Fushigi Yugi, Detective Conan, Fruits Basket, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, Princess Mononoke. I'm a closet romantic, but when I'm out of the closet I like to watch things blow up. Hell yes. So, naturally I LOVED the Dark Knight and want to see it again. :P

Let's see... what else... I have a pug mix/mut named Pepsi, and I spend way too much time on the computer. I love drawing, writing, and reading... (I have to admit that one of my most geeky habits is writing fanfiction for anime series), and I'm bipolar. I have no idea why you should know that, but I told you, so there. But it's not like I'm a psycho or anything, so you're all safe. OR ARE YOU. *shifty eyes* I also have an obsession with chocolate and naptime. And that's pretty much all there is to me. ^_^

Thanks for reading!

Blogmics, Anime, and Manga, Oh my!

2008-11-09T08:48:00.007-06:00

.....WINTER IS FINALLY HERE!
no more, being hot!
No more, being pissy about the heat!
And sweatshirts, long sleeves, and scarves, Hazzah!
I finally snowed the other day. ^__^ It didn't stick, but that means that there's a wonderful possibility that it'll snow on me birthday. I was getting worried when we were still getting 70 degree weather. Yay, global warming! [/sarcasm]

Anyway, enough about the damn weather. Kei had suggested I start a blogmic. Since then I've thought about it, and decided I wanted to take a crack at it. unfortunately, updates are going to be far and few, due to the fact that I'm trying to get a second full time job on top of my part time job. [shrugs] I plan on drawing every chance I get.
Anyway, I've decided to start by giving a crack at drawing out the first 3 characters.

Here's Kei ^__^

Here's Bru:

and here's Ori:

I'll post more sketches later.

As for anime, I've been watching some anime here and there.
One disappointment is Funimation's licensing of Shikabane Hime Aka after episode 3. @_@
ah well....
I'll sum up what I've gathered so far about the anime, in one line.
Chick in school uniform, killing undead with a pair of Oozies.

And now I'm watching Kuroshitsuji. So far it's interesting. What I gathered so far is a child aristocrat, who works for the Queen of England, and has a badass butler, who can do almost anything. I've only watched 4 episodes, but I'm anticipating episode 5. ^__^ ((I don't wanna give away too much @_@))

And finally Manga. Ooo I love manga. My current read inclues, Clamp's Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles. Which looks like they might be completing this series. ^^ ((anime's no where near as good as the manga.))
Also, you can't read TRC without reading XXXHolic. I love stories about the supernatural. It's a manga that goes hand in hand with TRC.
And now my obsessive manga addiction includes Katekyo Hitman Reborn! What a fun read! It has action, comedy, and the Mafia. What's not to love?

Anyway...why spoil the fun and tell you more, when you can read them for free here: OneManga
and so far they've been pretty good at their updates. =3

Ugh, I have no time to edit this, I have work in 20 minutes.
So please excuse bad grammar and spelling errors. T__T

I'm Making A Post And Checking It Twice

2008-11-08T22:35:00.004-06:00

Hey hey, I'm bored and making another post. See, I made my twice a month posting like I promised. I picked up Gears of War 2 this week and it's not bad. Sadly, not bad is the best I can say. Some of the new stuff is insane, but they seem to have overdone it and the glitches or just poor programing are still there. Also, being rich as I am I picked up Fallout 3 which is a great game but is just Oblivion with a Fallout skin applied to it. I'm tempted to play it right now actually...

Anywho, I'm already ready for Left 4 Dead. More Co-op fun! tons of zombies coming at you and you and ur friends gotta stay alive. It seems fun to me at least lol. Yeah, I'm all about gaming and insurance right now.

Anything else I can say...uhhm it's also really interesting to finally get to be a guy. 9-10 years of me posing as a girl (both being forced than voluntarily) and I learned so much through all of that stuff. I figure if we get that blog-ic on here (why is blogic not coming up on here as a typo?) I'll end up as a girl again but I'm happy with that. After all the years of being treated one way, now people can be confused, save for all my buddies that know who I really am. Either way, it's a really cool experience and it's not something I can tell people to try, but it's fun to try if you can fit the part.

Next post, I'll try to put a bunch of pictures up or something. How about my art wall when I get a chance? I get kinda iffy on that cause I don't want to take pics out of my portfolio (that no one looks at) and paste them on poster board to my wall (glue stick so they come off easily). I need to find a way to be able to fit them on. I ws thinknig of maybe able to liek cut slits in the corners and hold the paper by its corners, I'm not sure.

There we go, thre's my post.

Greetings and a First Review

2008-11-05T23:08:00.000-06:00

Well, I never actually thought I'd find myself posting in a blog but here I am and darn it, I intend to post regularly. A bit of personal info to start. I'm Jacen, maybe that's my real name, maybe not. I'm from the South Eastern United States and yes, living less than an hour from the beach is awesome. Living closer would be too, except for those darn hurricanes. If you're interested in my interests, check out the appropriate section of my profile. I'll be writing here often I hope, giving reviews of things I'm currently interested in, books, anime, politics, what have you. Big thanks to Ori-kun for giving me the opportunity to do so. So, without any further prattling on about myself since I know you really don't care anyway, I'll get on with my first review.

Yozakura Quartet! The story of a small town in, you guessed it, Japan, where humans and youkai live together in relative harmony. When youkai go bad, our team of...public servants actually...almost all of whom seem to be teenagers or younger...including the mayor...uh...go figure...jump into action, ready to take down the bad guy and put things right again.

So far, only five episodes are out but to be honest, this is already one of my all time favorites. The characters are fun and engaging and there seems to be some real story here. As near as I can tell there are only 12 episodes expected so far which to me is a shame, especially considering the manga is already up to five volumes (which I fully intend to find a copy of). I'll keep you all posted if there is a change in the number of episodes. I truly recommend you put this on your to watch list if you haven't already.

Sayonara for now,

Jacen

A Date Of History

2008-11-05T20:51:00.002-06:00

Now, I have no idea, but I guess I should post something here. Unfortunately, I was unable to vote due to work and I don't have a clue about absentee stuff and whatever...I live in a blue state and my vote means nothing.

Anywho, I don't understand why people care so much that it's "history." I mean, yeah there's meaning to having a black president and all, but at the same time, I'd rather choose someone who is going to be a good president, not a black president, or a female vice president. I also dislike that Bush got in for being a "devoted Catholic." In all these days of history, it seems like, people care more for the useless details than for what is really going to matter.

That also brings up one more thing to me. A number of people say I have no right to speak of any of this because I didn't vote. The last time I checked, I am in the USA and we have the freedom of speech. Everyone talks politics before the voting and my views don't change after...so how is my right to speak about politics denied or unjustified? I dunno. I really don't know why this post. Maybe it's cause of all the people on my MSN with "TODAY IS A DAY OF HISTORY" and I'm like "I just want to survive...I could care less if he's black."

Stalkers Guide to Que

2008-11-05T00:07:00.010-06:00

I started to write a nice little list of likes, hates and random information. During this process I realized that my list of likes dislikes and wishes were actually quite small. I don't particularly like a lot of things, nor do I find myself hating much. As for random information I feel that most is my own personal matter. Perhaps at a later date when I'm more awake I shall create a full guide for those that wish to stalk me. From my favorite colors to what time I normally visit the throne.

As for now I leave you with a short clip to watch

*changed to youtube version*

Its sad that Peter represents an amazingly large portion of Americans.

Voting

2008-11-04T09:50:00.003-06:00

So, like what seems like a shit ton of people are doing today, I got up nice and early to vote.
4 years ago, I registered up in Blacksburg, where my university is, because I didn't want to deal with absentee ballots. They switched my polling place this year, which was annoying.

However, the school diverted a bunch of busses to shuttle students out to the new polling places, which was awesome. BUt what made my day was this: after i voted, i was looking at waiting about 30 minutes for the next bus to show up, when a nice little old lady pulled up and offered myself, and 3 other students a lift back to campus. No strings attached, no "Who did you vote for" none of it. Just a ride. It was really nice of her. Whats niceer is when we got to campus, she offered anotehr bunch of students waiting for a bus a lift to the polling place.

Sometimes people are awesome :)

Halloween...The Aftermath

2008-11-01T17:21:00.009-05:00

Woot! Halloween was a blast. This year I dressed up as a Mafia hitman. It was cheap, and simple. not to mention last minute. I borrowed a 9mm Air soft handgun from a friend. Assassinations were fun to carry out. But I'm skipping ahead of myself.

Unfortunately I didn't get as shitfaced as I hoped; @_@ but ah well.
We went to some friends' house for a party, ended up watching Hellsing, The Devil's Backbone, Family Guy, and the Daily Show with John Stewart (Scary, huh?), while drinking Yeager Bombs and jello shots, and downing Tacos. It was fun. Almost everyone dressed up. Sharon dressed up as Sarah Pallin with a shotgun, and a pin that said "hocky Mom". lol. Our friends Dan, and Krista(Hope I spelled it right, dear.) Dressed up as a kick boxer, and an undead bride. (the dress was beautiful =3). Justin dressed up as an old world European aristocrat. And our buddy mike dressed up as Captain Hammer from Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
Here's thee trailer if you guys wanna check it out. ((I'm not into musicals really))

anyway, the night went well, but the guys started playing Risk, which I felt was a bad idea, since it's a strategy game that takes 2-3 hours...I mean holy shit. Not to mention I wanted to make another party I promised to attend. [eye twitches]
Anyway, we bid our farewells, and headed to a party outside of town at 1:30 am. Unfortunately we were too late and missed the drama. [shrugs.] But I have to admit it was fun assassinating people, per the "boss's" Orders. ((The Host of the party is actually my boss at Subway. lol.)) after chill'n out and shooting the shit, I got bored and started holding people up with the air soft gun. It was pretty sweet since I got pocket change and candy out of it. =3 Wish I had some pictures. I'd post them here for you guys. Anyway, Justin and I took it upon ourselves to play some Marvel Vs. Capcom on the XBox. It was fun, but not as fun as Brawl.
3 am hit and Justin was getting a headache and a stomach ache from the smoke machine and the loud heavy metal music, we headed home. Since I was the only one drinking he drove.

And that's about the jist of our night. ^__^

Anyway...Thinking about playing Marvel Vs. Capcom last night, got me watching some videos on YouTube this guys did for Marvel Vs. DC. Bru knows what I'm talking about. lol.
I'll post some videos here. Check out this guys stuff. it's hilarious.
Here's some videos:

Enjoy!

Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC: After Hours #2

Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC. (Mac PC Parody) #3

Right well, with tests and quiz's and homework breathing down my back, I've been rather busy the past few days. And today was pretty much like the others: Sucky.

But then I found this: http://www.mtvmusic.com/

that Right there, is the first "cool" think MTV has done in a seriously long time.

What lies ahead

2008-10-26T10:03:00.002-05:00

Well, I'm acutally making an effort to put a blog to semidecent use, so here goes nothing.

It dawns on me today, sitting in a dark room that ive been in most of the weekend, watching Anime, that the next few weeks are gonna be a bitch.

I've got two tests, and a quiz this week. All on the same day. Now, I have the option of taking one test on Tuesday, instead of Thrusday, which is what I think i'll do. But that will make getting dinner before going to the weekly meeting of Anime club taht much harder. I also have a hard ass homework assignment due Tuesday, for a class that i will have a hard ass test in Thursday. I also have another homework assignment in the class i ahve the quiz in to work on, and a midterm project report to write up for a project that i havent even stated yet (thats not due till next week tho). Joys of Senior year, no?

On the bright side, my girlfriend shows up Firday, for Halloween. The weekend, at least, should be fun

Rant: I love Virginia Tech, I really do, but I HATE the fact that NO WHERE on campus is open for breakfast before like, 11 am on the weekend. Now, I understand that most people assume that a college student is going to sleep in but still, this is just plain sad! Get off your asses, and make me food, goddamnit!

WIP

2008-10-26T09:22:00.007-05:00

Finally! Finished with my DA-ID.
Check it:

I really needed practice on hands. So almost every drawing I do I'll be adding hands, instead of hiding them. The Apple's name is Core. ((Haha....please don't flog me.)) Anyway, Core was a bitch to color, and as you can tell the ring was Photoshopped, because I f**ked that up too. Meh...I'll keep on practicing though.

Here's my WIP:

It's a gift for my little bro. I have to get around to going over it with a softer lead, and cleaning it up. If the pencilwork comes out satisfactory, I might CG this one later in Photoshop. And once again....Hands =__=

Once I'm done with this one I'll be working on a free commish for my buddy Jace.

I still need to draw something up for Halloween. And finish the site graphics for this blog.

Rant: I hate getting paper cuts from things other than paper. Like plastic salad bowls at Subway.

Mmmm...the Chatty Goodness 1
