Ow… long time away from here

Hey everyone. sorry I haven’t been talking much here (If you continue to read it that is).

I lost my password. Yes, embarrassing, I know, but that’s what happened.

In the meantime, I’m trying to keep up blogging by switching to a new blog, which cane be found by clicking this link, and hopefully will keep that one up better than this one. A few of the same posts, but things’ll be more up to speed there real soon. Enjoy!

Viva La Blast!

Alas, I am depressed. The Admin of BlastRPG decided that he was through with Blast and all the work incorporated. I am considering making a site in memorium of the late-great BlastRPG.

To anyone from Blast who reads this:
If you would like to join me in the creation of said site, then get incontact with me via PM on Blast before it closes or drop a comment by here sometime. Thanks!

Pop Quiz!

I bet you weren’t expecting this from me, now were you? Here are the questions, along with my answers:

1) They’re finally making the movie of your life and, after narrowing the role of YOU down to three actors, they’ve asked for your choice. Who are the three actors, and which person do you ultimately choose?

Hm… I’m thinking Anthony Hopkins, though he is a LITTLE old to play me, or (my folks say) Rowan Atkinson, and I think I would pick, above all others Haley Joel Osment.

2) You’re at a fancy restaurant with your significant other, when your arch nemesis shows up with his gang to rob the place. You left your costume home tonight, and you wouldn’t want to reveal your true identity unless there was no other choice. How do you handle this one?

Create a diversion by putting a muscle relaxant/knockout potion into the Soup of the Day, and then finding a lobster and throwing it at him. As he was distracted, I would become a deadly cheese ninja, chasing him and his cohorts out of the restaurant. A slab of Cheddar to the head, a wheel of Gouda to the groin, it is clearly the most deadly of the food groups.

3) 4 +X/8=15Y-23Z; solve for each variable.

In your dreams.

4) CHOCOLATE! What is the best chocolate ever?

Swiss Dark. Nothing compares.

5) Best James Bond Theme Song? Who do you think was/would be the best James Bond?

Either Live and Let Die or Goldeneye. Maybe Die Another Day. One of those three.

Best Bond? Well, so far is Sean Connery. I think I would make a GREAT Bond though…

6) After much thought and deliberation, you realize the best thing you can do with your life is form your own team of superheroes. Keeping in mind that you don’t actually possess any powers or a dual identity in this scenario, how do you go about selecting your team, what abilities do you look for in potential allies, and what do you call your group?

A) No powers? What was I thinking by posting all of those adds?
B) I would like to have a team of superheroes WITH POWERS!!!
C) We would be the…Power People! No, that’s taken. the JLA? No, that was taken too. How about… um…Oo! I know! We would be the “Archangels!” Boo-Yah!

7) If a hypothetical train is traveling East at 70 MPH, and a hypothetical truck is traveling North at 55 MPH, then name 3 famous people you feel shouldn’t be famous.

Yay Trains!
Hm… Chris Rice, Vanna White, and Eminem.

Brittany Spears gives the rest of us something to laugh at, so she’s good where she is!

8) A freak accident caused by lightning or radiation or genetic engineering or whichever origin suits you, bestows upon you the ability to step INSIDE your television set and interact with the characters. Where do you go first, and why?

Heh. It’s a tie:
MTV - Make fun of all those annoying bands, and jam with the half-way decent ones.
HBO - Hey, don’t judge me by my choices! I just would!

9) After winning a karaoke contest, you’re awarded the grand prize from a local radio station: you get to perform ONE song alongside your favorite group! Who do you sing with and what song?

Hm… One of two: Kutless, or MiG Ayesa.

10) What are the all time greatest action, comedy, and Sci-fi flicks?

Is that even a fair question? Probably as follows: Action - The Mummy, Comedy - Monty Python and the quest for the Holy Grail, and Sci-fi - Bladerunner or I, Robot.

11) The quiz goes all the way up to 11! wOOt!

thank you for participating in our pop quiz. We might choose to give you the results at a later date, or we very well may completely discard your test and make you flunk. This is High School, so deal with it. Bye!

The Life of an Actor Wanna-be.

Ok everyone. for those of you that don’t know this, I’ve joined the local theater group.

I’m loving practices. In fact, sometimes I believe that it is purely these practices that help me get through the stressful weeks, because these kids are a lot of fun to be around, and I can let go of myself and let my maturity slip, as long as I’m not on-stage.

That raises the interesting thing about moving. Should happen any week now. Ugh.

When we move, which we all hope if AFTER the musical, than yay for us. But if we have to move BEFORE hand, I may need to hang with another family for a while. Not sure yet, though the Folks have a couple in mind…

Anywho, I announced again that I’m moving to Chicago, and got a negative response, followed by a “You can’t leave. I like having you around. You’re funny!”

Ah, Kyle. You have no idea how much I don’t want to leave.

I hang out with the cast at the practices, and given a choice, would probably hang out with them over some of my school friends. Great kids to be around.

And some of them agree. I may be somewhat immature around them (Hey, I mentioned that earlier), I’m working on being able to loosen up and still be able to maintain the image of a somewhat responsible kid.

But hey, being *mostly* off the book, I figure that maybe I’ll be able to, I don’t know, have a little more time to be a kid instead of studying my lines every instant that I’m not on stage.

Anywho, I’d like to take this moment to thank all the Not-So-Little people who helped make this happen. Nay, who CAUSED all of this to happen:

Mom - If she hadn’t forced to audition, then I would have missed out on a great time. Well….I guess I actually had something to do with that, having actually done well enough to get a part.

Joan - The director receives props for giving me this opportunity.

Betsy - My stage-partner, who is around 20+ times better than me, giving me an idea of what acting is supposed to look like.

Jessie - My choreography role-model. Wow, you can tell she knows what she’s doing…

Tori - Has forced me on stage back when I had no idea what I was doing. Is also extremely spaztic, causing much comic relief…

David should go here to, because without him, I would never have been able to loosen up as much as I have.

Monty Python - Ok, so he may not have helped me in the PRODUCTION, but he’s secured me a couple friends and is my stress-relief medicine. Nih.

And, for the final note, NO autographs until AFTER the performance.

Of Mice and Men

Hm… I really don’t like this book any more than I do other books of the sort. It’s got a few basic things about it that are worth knowing though.

1) there is a swamper in the book named Candy, who has an old dog. He is pressured by the others in the barrack-like building to put the dog out of it’s misery, and because he loves the dog so much, he lets someone else kill it, an act that he later regrets. George, a main character, decides not to let a stranger kill his companion, Lennie, who was going to die no matter what, so he did it himself. I think that it’s a bit of something worth knowing, that it’s better to get rid of something you love yourself than letting someone else do it.

2) The big guy, Lennie, does some bad things, but is completely innocent due to mental retardation. He then ends up killing someone on accident. He gets nervous, and runs. I think this is a metaphor for the seeming innocence of people who do bad things without meaning to in real life. That things that start little turn big because of lack of cautiousness.

3rd and final, there’s something I learned by doing an essay on the book. No matter what the subject is, you can hate it or love it, but you can still get a good grade on it regardless of viewpoint taken. Good thing to know.

Somewhat interesting…

I found this article somewhere, and deemed it Blog-worthy:

Musical breast implants

Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman’s breast implants.

One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person’s whole music collection.

BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years.

BT Laboratories’ analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

According to The Sun he said: “It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful.”

The sensors around the body linked through the electrical impulses in the chips may also be able to warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer.

People dying of cancer and AIDS, and we’re putting MP3 players in breasts. Sounds like something out of SNL or a National Lampoon movie.

Music for those that care to listen.

I am going to recommend the following bands to you all:

Roper; This band is insane. Get the CD’s, but don’t see them in concert… Too much talking between songs.

Insyderz: Awesome Ska band. That is all.

David Crowder Band: Best worship band for anyone between 10-17.

Pushmode; Look for them on Purevolume.

Audio Adrenaline; Insanity with a message. Awesome? Very.

Newsboys; Australian Praise Band.

Hangnail; Crazy Christian Rock

Aerosmith; Need I say more?

Salvador; Worship with a latino feel.

That is all for now.

Dang Santa Clause Beliefs.

So, Life.

Heh.

Life’s been going good. I joined local theater, People think I’m older than I am (which is cool in a way), and if you don’t count by emotional whiplash I mentioned a little while ago, then my relationships are going good too.

But now we come to some roadblocks. My own mind and emotions being a big one. but start singing “Hallelujah”, for I’m not going into that right now.

Dang teenage years.

Oo! My friend is funny. He thought that quicksand was fake, and that people made it up for movies and cartoons. I proved to him otherwise. His response? “Dang Santa Clause Beliefs.”

It turns out that he treats things that he doesn’t believe are real in the same regard as things he does believe are real, until he gets solid evidence one way or the other. Therefore, his disbelief in Quicksand is directly proportional to his belief in Santa from childhood.

Is your mind spinning? Mine was.

Anyway, thought I’d come ramble for a moment.

Fun Sites!!!

Ok, I’m having too much fun these days. I’m a member of several sites now. Creator of one. One, called Blast Is really fun if you like RPs. Beware the Hybrid, though…

One is somewhat more spiritually centered. It’s a site entirely for Christian discussion and is a great place to learn anything you want to learn about the Bible.

Another, created by one of my Blast friends, is also kinda fun to be in, though the user number is extremely low and these people need to learn how to RP.

Finally, there is my own site, Realms of Insanity, is also lacking in current members. fun to be in when other people are on, though.

School

Hello Hello Hello!!!
It’s been a while, and I’m back in business. School, the undying subject, continues to live. (duh, considering it’s the…never mind this whole comment…)

0.5: Missed the bus. AGAIN.

1: ISTEP testing. How I hate it.

2: still in testing. Yawn.

2.5: Testing during lunch? That’s just wrong…

3: Finally, we feast!!! It was a sack lunch, nothing special really. A sandwhich, a little candy, and some chips. I did have a half-full bottle of Mountain Dew, though.

3 1/2: We went back to the testing room and did nothing.

4: We went to First period. My computer acted up on me.

4 1/4: Second period, had a sub, did homework. The fun never ends.

4 1/2: third period, got new homework, turned in the old.

4 3/4: Fourth Period. WHOO-HOO. We played Dodgeball, our class vs. another PE class. It turned from team to free-for-all, and then it was team up on John. I swear God sent me a guardian angel in Junior form. Thank heavens for Blake. He led some other guys in getting me out of that predicament. I’ll never say anything negative about him. EVER.

5: fifth period, computers, same-old-same-old, only with a sub.

Moving.

Ugh. we have to move away due to job complications. I’m NOT happy. I’ve moved so many times in my life that it’s the last thing I need to happen. I’m just complaining to get it out. Sorry.

Homecoming.

wOOt for homecoming! It was pretty good. even though we lost. And the freshmen (myself included) were all pretty stupid. Go figure. anyway, with the parade, I now am the proud owner of my weight in candy. Yay! some dentist must endorse this, and if he does, he really gets a profit out of it. So many cavities when you combine that with Halloween. oy.

Revalations: My take.

Well, for those of you that actually ever visit, I decided (While still half-asleep) to post on one of my favorite subjects. The End of Days. And, no, not the Schwarzenegger film, either. From what I’ve read/what I understand as a given, there are obviously too many ways to interpret this. Don’t take anything I say as absolute truth, though. Instead, dig out your Bible, brush off all the dust and cobwebs, and READ IT.

Well, I’ll start with some warning signs of the coming tribulation. Most of you will have heard of LaHaye and Jenkins books, Left Behind and Left Behind: Kids Edition. I’ve read these, but being fiction works, even with scripture, I do not count these among actual texts to study under the influence that it is 100% true. If we don’t have a pre-trib rapture, the I’ll die of a heart attack if the Anti-Christ is actually named Nicolae.

Warning signs…Well, some of us know of the Jews being scattered, right? Once again, those old dusty Bibles tell us that. One of the biggest warning signs of Tribulation and Second Coming include the return of Jews to Israel. Others include the seven year agreement between Israel and it’s enemies (which, coincidentally, will be the start of the seven years of tribulation…), along with the actual rise to power of the antichrist. Now, the first seal will not actually be broken by the lamb (Jesus Christ) until the signing of the actual agreement (possibly in treaty form…) is made. Among these, other warning signs must be made, but we won’t get into this at the present time.

WOW. what a long post…

Next, the Anti-Christ. A topic much debated. I believe that the antichrist will come forth and conquer, though NOT with weaponry. He will come claiming to bring Peace, but he will cause War. He will succeed, though, and so will his proposal of one world government (another warning sign: One world currency, religion, and government.) which will be granted him. Then he will want all religions are to merge into one, and all religions will, except two. Christianity and Judaism. His roots will trace back to Rome, and he will become a great ‘friend’ to Israel. He will also rebuild Solomons temple in the exact spot it was originally built.

As soon as the treaty is signed, God’s two witnesses will appear and testify for three and a half years.

The Seven Seal judgements are the first talked about by John in the book of Revelations. The first four will be the four horsemen of apocalypse. Seal one will be the Antichrist, who will usher in eighteen months of peace. The second is War, the third is Famine, and the fourth is Death, followed by Hades, who will have permission to kill one fourth of the worlds population. Ouch. Well, the war will be against three kings rising from the west and south to oppose the Antichrist and his ten kings. I personally hope that America will be a Western King. Though, unfortunately, they will fail. Then comes Famine and death. The fifth seal, however, will be the crying out of the saints beneath the alter, and the handing out of the white robes that they are to wear as more of their martyred brothers and sisters come and join them. Sixth seal will be known as “The Wrath of the Lamb”, it will be a worldwide undetected earthquake, where the sky will grow dark and the moon will be red as blood, the stars would fall to earth, and every mountain and island will be removed from it’s place.

Then there will begin the rising of 144,000 Jewish witnesses, 12,000 from each tribe.

The seventh seal will be so great that all Heaven will be silent for half-an-hour. Amazing.

_____________________

I’ll finish this later, when I feel it is time. I may only do one a week, or one a month, but there you go.

School: A day by day thing.

Well, today was… Interesting…

0.5: FCA rules. I swear, I think that I will become a devout attender. Even if I don’t like Mr. B, I love the organization and meetings. I contribute, after a fashion, with my various comments and lovely *coughcoughcough* singing voice. Alex sang on stage with the guitarists, which was cool. There are even more hot girls there, and two of them actually talked to me. We talked about one of the subjects I learned as a little kid, but I was raised in the church, so that’s to be expected.

1: ICP was alright. We retook the quizes if we wanted to (I did) and then worked on worksheets (I’d finished three days ago) and did a crossword puzzle (Actually challenging. Go figure.)

2: English Nine: MAP testing. I got a pretty decent score, so I’ll be fine. It doesn’t like, affect your grade or anything. So yeah, that was neat.

2.5: Lunch. Lacking money (And time to eat due to shortened period) I bought a thing of Rolos and a package of Peanut M&M’s.

3: In Algebra 1, I ate my ‘lunch’ of sugary chocolaty goodness. I was content. Then he handed out the test we took earlier in the week. I did well. wOOt!

4: We’ve been playing softball in gym and I’ve NOT been doing so well. Ho-hum, it don’t matter. Was wrong about hot girl from earlier. She’s a little…Yeah. She’s still hot, but she hasn’t talked to me for a week. Kinda turns a guy off to be noticed and forgotten in the same week, ya know?

5: Computer Apps stunk. I’ve never liked that class. I finished the project that’s due WEDNESDAY early, and spent the rest of the period playing Solitare. wOOt.

5.5: Pep rally. Is there a point to cheerleaders skirts being so sort? I mean, I think they are in violation of school dress code! And them doing high kicks in the air? There has got to be some perverted guy in charge of the wardrobe. But I’ll say one thing, the gets really got ‘Pepped’ or whatever you call it. Well, the rally was interesting. The teachers attempted to make a human pyramid. Key word: attempted. It was funny.

World domination is MINE!

Another day, another School post.

Ok, here was my day:

0.5: FCA’s first meeting was this morning at 8:00. It was pretty good. A very pretty *CoughHOTcough* sat behind me today.

1. ICP: We took a test. It was interesting. By interesting, I mean easy. No challenge at all. I got a 98% for misunderstanding the difference between being dependent vs. interdependent. Oh well. It’s still an A.

2. English: We talked about a test. We won’t actually take it until next week. We talked about a couple of stories and handed in an assignment. Fun.

2.5: Lunch: Ate more pizza. I’m getting sick of that stuff. Also had Sobe Synergy Red and kitkat. Yum. Went to library and sat practically drooling over some new motorcycles on-line.

3: Algebra: Handed in homework, got new homework. *YAWN* It’s getting old. I felt mean today, though. I kept asking questions about the questions in order to keep him talking so he wouldn’t have time to lecture us and assign something. A couple of others joined in too, some following my lead, some genuinely interested in the answers.

4. PE: Two-hand-touch. Awesomest of the week. Closest game of the season, and my team absolutely annihilated the opposition in the end. I made my one touchdown of the day and stuffed a receiver. Yay me. Hot girl from FCA acknowledged my existence. *Smile* Well, it was kinda neat.

5. Comp. Apps: Typed. A lot finished early and goofed around in paint again. *Yawn* Well, not that it wasn’t fun…*Snore*

6. Yes, I said 6. Today I went with my good buddy Matt (my usual football opponent) to a concert featuring Jonthon’s band, for which he came back from Olivet Naz College to play for. Nice to see him and a lot of folks from ACC. I miss you guys! Oh well, it was neat. Chess, ping-pong, mish pits, rock music. My kinda place!

Yesterday’s school

I forgot to write yesterday, so here’s how things went:

0.5: Well, Not much happened.

1: ICP was stupid. We made a graph. It took some people the whole period. Idiots.

2: English. We…Did vocab and grammer. fun.

2.5: Pizza, red Sobe Synergy, kitkat.

3: Turned in homework and got new stuff in Algebra

4: Played two-hand touch. I was second captain. We stunk.

5:Blah. Not talking about computer apps.

School never dies…

Ok, today, school was definitely blog-worthy. My day went as follows:

0.5: Was somewhat sick when I got up. Ate big breakfast. Not good combo.

1: ICP=Ugh today. Not the best morning, although I was among the first to finish my project.

2: Language was good, but took too long because I was hungry. Had another paper-wad-war. Fun fun fun!

2.5: School pizza, yum, along with kitkat and rolos, with an orange Sobe. Nasty indeed was the drink. The rest…pretty good.

3: Algebra. Began to feel sick again, had a TUMS and went back to class. Turned in homework, got some more. Still reviewing. Can’t wait until we start to learn again.

4: wOOt again! I love gym class, and I love football. We won, making our record 2:1, and we switch teams for the rest of the week tomorrow. but I had 1 interception, 1 rush, 3 tackles, 7 fumbles, and 1 touchdown. Yay me!!!

5: I did nothing most of the class period. I finished my work yesterday.

School. Yet again.

Today was interesting…

0.5: I was early to the bus stop today! wOOt!

1: ICP wasn’t too bad. We had a forensics experiment. It was kinda neat, considering forensics is something I think I want to do when I’m older.

2: Language…Eh. It wasn’t too bad. I learned that in order to pass a class and NOT get made fun of, don’t use big words (unwavering) during an oral answer to any problem. But I still did it anyway. What good is it to learn something and not use it? Not sure yet. I’ll get back to you on that.

2.5: Lunch. yay. I had GOOD Pixxa(With Z’s, of course.), a green Sobe drink (Not quite as good as red in my humble opinion) And a…KitKat. Who would have guessed?

3: Algebra. Yay. Not. Turned in homework, got more. Don’t matter though. I got it done.

4: YAY!!! PE!!! More two-hand-touch football today. This time, we lost, 13-12. Oh well. Here’s my favorite play-by-play… It was a nice pass, but it was a little too far. He dived for it, while Matt came up from behind him to ensure a good catch. But what’s this?! Out of nowhere, john comes by and snatches it out of the air. He looks triumphant as he runs, while Matt begins the chase. The fifty yard line…Amber and Brandon begin to chase, but Molly comes in and blocks. Twenty yard line… Matt’s pretty close, and John… He fakes left and goes right, while Matt follows and Brandon falls for it, going out of his way and being blocked from rejoining the chase by Blake. John’s at the Ten…The eight, the five, the two TOUCHDOWN! I made an interception that ended with the first touch-down of the game, though I couldn’t have done it with Molly or Brandon. We ended up doing pretty well for ourselves. They would have us on our 10 yard line, and we’d run them back. We completely dominated. Until the last ten minutes or so, when we had a few good maneuvers, but not as good as theirs. But we did end up only ONE point behind. Stupid field goal. Gr…

5: Once again, Computer Apps. We didn’t have AS bad of a class. I made something really painful on the eyes with mspaint.

Anyway, that’s how my day went.

Schoolozuma’s Revenge!!!

All right folks! here it is!!! One weekend after the beginning. Here’s how my Monday went:

0.5: Almost late for bus (again). Today, the bus was at the stop when I ran out of the house (and fell flat on my face in the middle of the road.)

1. First Period. ICP wasn’t too bad today. We set up class goals that weren’t even worth discussing. I mean, I’m pretty sure that most people were planning on trying to have a class average of at least 85. Oh well. Don’t matter.

2. Language. It seems so completely useless. But on I have to take it, so I do. Today, we talked about short stories again. (Mainly Sweet Potato Pie) and had a quiz. The pop type. Of which I aced. 100% baby!!!

2.5: Lunch. I had an Arby’s roast beef sandwhich and a kitkat. I love my kitkats. Then I went to the library and looked at cars and motorcycles on line with Blake.

3: Algebra. Turned in homework, got new homework. Whoo-hoo…

4: Gym. WHOO-HOO!!! We played football (two-hand-touch, of course) and dominated the offense. We won 26 to zip. Four touch downs and two field goals. I played full back, receiver, and lineman. Fun.

5: Finally, I had computer apps. Ugh. Not commenting.

Dain Bramage

Oh yeah. I’m gonna see if the principal and staff wouldn’t mind me doing a comic strip series called Dain Bramage for the school paper/website. Wish me luck!!!
