This'll be all for today. Count the last one as yesterdays. -
12/10/04 04:13 am - Real.
It hit me earlier, and the more I think about it, the more I know the answer. Is there anyone real out there anymore, or is everyone just part of some following? Are there any real people out there anymore. The ones who don't go around with some gimmick they've attached to just because it looks cool at the time, while it slowly fades away and a new one forms so they'll always have a place to belong? Think about it. You know the answer. No, there isn't. Okay, so maybe there's a rare few (a few, when in comparison to the world, keep in mind, can mean several) that are, but otherwise, no. It's sickening to me. As an artistic person, an individual, a unique individual, different from everyone else in the fact that every person is born unique, that someone would want to conform and people have to survive socially by clinging to groups that they claim they like or are cool. Why not just be ourselves? Is it because people are that boring, that they feel the need to continuously reject their own uniqueness in order to belong? Are humans really pathetic enough that they can't have a social life without this? Seriously. Think about it. Think of the people around you, that you know. Think about yourself. Do you have your own meanings, your own set of things that you stand for, or are your morals and standards merely a carbon-copy of a thousand other people's that belong in the same clique as you? It's a crime if the answer is yes, because you know what? It changes you. And I've seen it happen several times over. You change who you are subtly until you're something you're not, and then you don't even realize it because you can't see it through other people's eyes. It's one thing to share the same ideal as someone else does, to stand on common grounds, it's another thing to conform to eachother or a group throwing away your real personality in order to be completely part of that clique. People that do this, to be blunt sicken me. And you probably do, too.- Show previous comments 31 more

I've always just ben myself and not cared what people thought of me, and I never really thought much of the percieved cliques I ran into. Hell, the clique definitions were rather fuzzy at my school. People usualy appeared to be a mix of 3 or 4 types. We really just divided into groups of friends. Heh...

Copied my friend's two Radiohead cds "Kid A" and "Pablo Honey" today. I only like two songs on Kid A, where as I like all of Pablo Honey. I also like OK Computer.
I decided to start playing the Necrons in Warhammer40K. However my friend is playing Tyranids. If I get in close combat, I'm fucked.
The new Magic set is going to fucking kickass.

My favorite deck to date was a Sliver deck I made a while back. A couple years ago they released a small expansion that was all creatures, and it included a sliver of each rarity for each color. Well there were some pretty good abilities on them, so I made a red/black deck called the "Kamikazi Sliver" deck. It was pretty fun to play :)

humpty dumpty sat on a wall, I pushed him and he had a great fall, and when he cracked I laughed the most of them all, it was just like ripping off the head of a doll.

Apparently the crappy ass Emo shitfest known as AFI has covered nine inch nail's Head Like a Hole. Wtf is this shit? It's a fucking disgrace. On a not so bad note, apparently KoRn is doing a cover of HLAH on their "Greatest Hits" cd due out this fall (great timing, Manson is coming out with one too), but let's add more fun to the mix, they're going to cover, guess... Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd. Jesus fucking christ. I used to like Korn and am interested in what the HLAH cover will turn out like but the fact that AFI and their shitty singer whose voice is squeakier than most pop-bands left covered it pisses me the fuck off.

Considering you don't even give a shit about the subject at hand, why don't you get lost and quit posting on the thread instead? That sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
We're all entitled to our opinions. You're entitled to express your outrage that some pop band covered "your" pop band's masterpiece of a song. I'm entitled to say explain I think said song is shit.
If you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen. -

how about you cool off? he's not trolling you, he's posting a thought-out opinion, that's what the blogs comments are for.
really, it's not like there's any great disrespect being committed here. afi are not 'biting off more than they can chew' with head like a hole. it was never an important or groundbreaking song to anyone but the dingbats who think trent reznor created all that is industrial music. besides, there's already an abundance of nine inch nails tribute albums full of sub-par cover versions.

Girl 1: "fake tits do suck. but then as a possessor of huge real ones, i have a right to say that they suck too. ugh. i'd kill to have a healthy (ie not a resectioning) way to get smaller boobs. they take up half my stupid torso."
Guy 1: "Fake breasts are a major turn off. I can't understand how a person can want that done. Gah! I'm getting disgusted just thinking about it. I won't lie. I do enjoy looking at large breasts. Though, I can't understand what draws myself and other men to them. When it comes to being with a woman, breast size plays no role. I don't care what size they are because the breasts aren't the part that can go crazy and try to kill me.
Guy 2: "I personally prefer smaller breasts than bigger ones, but a well to do lady is fine with me. I just like the idea that a chick can jump around and be more active without worring about hurting herself, maybe. They just seem more like they want to be attacked! But i'm not attacked to tits so i can devour a large breasted girl as well"
Girl 2: " have such small breasts, it's really sad, but everyone says that they are well proportioned to my body. I just happen to like women with bigger breasts. But, I'd never have implants, because then they wouldn't feel the same, and who wants to feel fake. ugh."
Me: "It's when an (alleged) 17 year old has them (see Britney Spears for further reference) alongside being a smoker, and having a gross fake tan. Add that to a bunch of twee teen movies and it makes me want to slit open their chest, pull out the bags of plastic and shove them down their throats."
Guy 1: "Oddly enough, I'd pay to see that."
Me: "Pass me a couple of grand and immunity from prosecution and you've got yourself a home movie."- Show previous comments 25 more

Yes, STD's-- that's why you guys aren't going out to have sex. All those STD's waiting in the bushes, preying on young guys who ever consider losing their virginity or having a healthy sex life. I guess there are also those airborne STD's that cause you to freeze up and vomit all over yourself whenever a good-looking girl smiles at you.
*jerk-off motion*
It's called "a condom". It is your friend. They also work well in pairs.Uh what?

No, not the website...
Me.
I'm going to the Magic prerelease next weekend as a ninja. Why? There will be ninjas in the set. Also, the 19th is "Talk Like a Pirate Day." But fuck pirates. Pirates don't perform seppuku. Which I may do if defeated...fakely. And yes that mask is made from a t-shirt that's too small for me.- Show previous comments 23 more

He looks like he'd enter the world's strongest man competition...how the hell could he possibly be sneaky or quick?
Stealth isn't about hitting the floor softly because you weigh next to nothing. Stealth comes from knowing how to control your weight (emphasized in many martial arts), knowing where people are looking and what they are looking for, etc.

"Chill dude...it's going to be fine." "No it's not going to be fucking fine."
Nothing ever does. It's just one huge fucking disappointment. I thought everything would be fine with Fernando but he was a fucking whore. I thought everything would be fine with another guy I know until he decided that living 2 hours away just wasn't going to work. My fucking faimly constantly fight with eachother and I'd think it'd be fucking fine eventually but it isn't. Life is one huge fucking cosmic joke and I don't get the punchline. It'd be one thing if my entire fucking life wasn't more than a huge disappointment. The pieces are only as good as the whole. Every fucking piece is a disapointment. A tragic ending to something that began well. And I'm fucking sorry if i'm a depressing fuck but jesus christ nothing ever turns out right. I didn't want to be inconsequential, I didn't want to be the wasted potential, I didn't want to let the truth be perverted, but everyday I'm finding out the hardway that nothing is what it seems. The reality is never better than the dream.
And yet I still sit here with no way of knowing what will happen next as life is the unpredictable shit hole that it was never made out to be. The virus of life. I don't know what the fuck to do. The slipknot Vermillion said it best: He's a myth that I have to believe in. I have to believe that a guy is there that I will beable to be with and get away from all this shit with. All I know is if I'm not utterly depressed I may still have fun this weekend after riding the downward spiral to the bottom attempting to not cut myself on the razor blade edges. I thought I found my personal jesus, he turned out to be a false prophet. All is not well that ends well, the ending never is well. At the moment you're probably sitting there wondering who the fuck I've turned into and how the hell I can speak the words that I do but all I have to say is that my mind is a black hole because everytime I may feel for something the feelings get sucked away as I bide my time acting like everything will turn out fine.
The only real condolence I have in my life is that I'm not the only one who suffers the feelings that I feel. Others look at it as an injustice to have to live with such feelings but I look at it as a warped justice because everything that's shelled to you in life someone else is sure to have gotten served to them as well. While I would never kill myself sometimes it becomes more apparent why my friend Derick attempted to shoot himself in the face with a shotgun. He told me that he had no further purpose here, whatever purpose he had, had been fulfilled. All that was left for him was years of labor to merely satisfy his existence, and the large dosage of painful emmotions he would endure topped with a thin layer of joy.
No one will comment on this. No one gives a shit enough to do so. So I bid you all good day.- Show previous comments 20 more

thank you for riding the Mantrain. We are starting off in Whitetrash early this morning, passing through Manslag and changing train at Fernando. We are travelling Down the Spiral with Trent Reznor as your conductor (we kindly ask patrons to avoid trying to fuck Trent in the ass. He doesn't like it), who will make regular announcements about how everything in your life is a metaphor for pain and self destruction and the only way you can ever hope to improve your shitty, pansy-assed life is by buying pseudo-industrial gothic rock and comparing yourself and your suffering to the popular, rich and interesting artists that make said musics.
Refreshments and razor blades will arrive via the coffee cart shortly. We ask patrons to keep their blood to themselves for hygine reasons.
Our service today terminates at Selfpity. Avoid the hecklers as you disembark the Mantrain, or encourage them with statements such as "No one will comment on this. No one gives a shit enough to do so. So I bid you all good day." depending on how much of that existence-justifying hatred you wish to funnel at yourself.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Let's be smart. Let's be special. Let's quote every man in history as a way of expressing ourselves through other people's words, when we could come up with something meaningful ourselves. Voltaire, Stalin, Jefferson. Anyone you like, so long as its what you think, and in someone else's words so you don't have to come up with it. Things have a habit of meaning more, when you do them yourself. Maybe that's why I've never been one to ask for help, regardless of how bad I needed it. I could sit there stuck on a math problem for the entire hour, or not understand it. I wouldn't ask how to do it. I'd half-ass it and hope it was right. Sometimes, success. Often times, failure. There are annoyances I have to face. You have to face. They have to face. You can't do anything about it either. It's a pleasent thought, isn't it? But the weak ones are the ones that are the creators and controllers of said annoyances, that can make them go away. You know what one of those annoyances is, for me? One-way minds. The minds that insist that the way they're doing things is the only way, and refuse to explore other possibilities, other methods, other outcomes. The ones who think if they don't continue the way they're going now. Right now. That they will fail miserably and be doomed for the rest of their life, regardless of if the path their own right now will ultimately lead to them being unhappy anyway. People. People are idiots. Last Tuesday, over half of america proved that they're ignorant, stupid, bastards. Trent Reznor said it best. "One step closer to the end of the world. The one-two combo of corporate greed and organized religion apparently proved to be too much for reason, sanity, and compassion. It's a sad and shameful day, to be an american."
American. America. The United States of Hypocrisy. The land of the fr..wait. Freeze. Stop. The land of... what? The word is missing. Without purpose things disappear. The land of "blank." The purpose of the word "free" in that sentence has disappeared. It's reason for being there, now null and void, has caused it to discretely fade away as we head into the future. It's purpose used to be to explain that we are about freedom, choice, and practice of our own beliefs, without hinderence. What happened? Ironically, America, as many well know, went on it's own holy crusade to rid the world of the Red Scare, aka, communism. There are but few communist nations left in this world. Ironically, the U.S., grows closer to being one of them.
Dateline, November 5th, 2004. Webb City, MO. A new student from Arkansas is suspended from school for wearing gay pride shirts. Said student is gay, and was a member of a Gay Youth club in their previous school. But. It's okay for kids to go around with anti-gay material, and pins that say "God made Adam and Eve, Not Adam and Steve." Atleast Steve isn't a slut. Shhh. I didn't tell you that. The picture is all wrong. No, not that picture. Go bigger. Even bigger. The biggest you can imagine. The entire fucking world, in a frame. The entire world is in a glass frame, and everyday a hammer is repeatedly being taken to that picture, breaking it, destroying it. The glass has shattered, much like the dreams of those who live there. One hit. Two hits. Three hits. You're out. It's no wonder the people like to live in their own little dream world, ignoring everything else around them. This the previous generation has left us with. Thanks mom and dad, grandpa and grandma. Thanks for fucking up the world, and handing it to us so we can try to put it back together. But again, wait. Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore. Too fucked up to care anymore. It's beyond repair. You can't fucking fix something, and you can't bring change, unless enough people are willing to do so. No. They aren't. They're too busy being happy fucking things up even further, blindly. Ignorance is bliss...until you get whats yours.
We need a new world. Just go to sleep. Everytime I close my eyes there's a vivid new world waiting, chapters unfinished, fading. Dreams and nightmares were never more safe to live in, than they are now. Enjoy your dreams, because more than likely, that's all they'll remain.

Not only are alot of things beyond fixable, but a sole individual can't change the world. You need more than a handful of people when compared to the rest of the world if you're going to try and change something. Truth is, there aren't enough people. Most people are satisfied with the way things are going, or if they care at all, don't care enough to do something about it. People generally don't give a shit one way or the other about anything unless or until it effects them personally in a way that gets their attention. Then there's people that are against change because they're for what it is that needs changed (kinda like Bush being in office...).
As for the blog, it's not about whining, it's about realization and acception of things the way they are, even if I don't like them. That and just writing something as you think about it, aka free-style. -

I can't think of a single attempt to make fundamental changes to society that has worked. Even if the whole world suddenly realized what needed to be done and how, I don't believe we could organize ourselves enough to succeed.Revolutions aren't "humanistic" except in the sense that some anachronic system breaks down because it's not compatible with the current (material or economic) conditions. It's not that you're "going towards heaven" but that something changes. Sometimes inevitably. Everything is fixable yet fixing something does not grant you immunity from a million other issues... some of which are direct results of your fix. What was medicine one hundred years ago may be a malady today.
What we have is constant revolution, because we're too slow to evolve in pace with circumstance. -

Man, imagine what the world would be like if Martin Luther King had thought like that, or people campaigning for gay rights. Something's only impossible if you think it is. If you're not happy with the world, do something about it. Whether that involves campaigning against the system, or moving to another country, it's change. You're living in a free world: you can change the way you live, be glad you're not living in a dictatorship where you're burned at the stake for being gay/an immigrant/rebelling against society. Do you know why the world isn't like that? Because people spoke out against it. If you think all is lost, and that nothing can be done, then you're the one who's lost, and as long as you think that, nothing will ever be done.

So yeah, been forever since I've blogged on Doomworld. So here we go with a very long post.
First of all I have a boyfriend, his name's Joshua. He asked me out about three days ago, and we'd known eachother for a while before that, everythings great, one of the sweetest and cutest guys I've ever known. Good fact, he's not religous, like the last guy I was interested in was. Bleh, gay + religous personality = hell, figuratively (sp).
Anyways, moving on, because I would go on about Joshua forever normally. Darksteel prerelease for Magic the Gathering. Best one, ever.
Woke up and left about 10, got there at noon. I walked in proud with my trade binder and began registering. The staff leader was really friendly, and I was talking to him alot. I was wearing my Darksteel hoody that I made (has the logo on the front, expansion symbol on the right sleeve and magic logo on the left), and he asked where I got it this early. I told him I made it and he thought it was really cool. He said that it looked like the staff shirts, and I could pass off as part of the staff if it actually had "staff" written on the back.
So anyways I registered and had an hour before my flight began. So I went over to the business I usually do, uh, business with and started trading. He looked through my folder and pulled out tons and tons of cards he needed. I ended up getting $150.50 in store credit. That was awesome. So then I left thinking of what I was wanting to get. That took the majority of my time since I had to unsleeve everything. Then, after that, I sold some cards to a guy for $30. Great day, $180.00 for cards hehehe.
After that I walked around some, and since I go to the same place every PR, I begin to recognize people i've played, friends I've made from going to the same place for the last 5 prereleases. I noticed that one of the stores up there that usually isn't up there was there. The guy that runs the store is awesome, he's really cool. I shall hold some thoughts about him to myself lol. Anyways, yeah, after that my fleight began. I don't remember exactly how it went, but I'll try to remember:
Stage 1: Registering
I opened my Mirrodin tourney pack first, to see what I would get out of there, because I was depending on some things. I pulled a Necrogen Mists, Fatespinner, and a Nightmare Lash. I also pulled an Aether Spellbomb, Thirst for Knowledge, Pyrite Spellbomb, and other decent commons and uncommons. On to my Darksteel packs. As I opened them up I was of course excited. My rares? First one I pull was Darksteel Reactor. I laughed, I couldn't believe it. 2nd one I pulled was Pulse of the Tangle. Good, if I decide to play green. 3rd and final was Aether Snap. I thought that might come in handy. So I registered.
Stage 2: Deck Construction:
When I registered my cards I seperated them all into their respective colors. I looked over the cards and realized that the first to go would inded be green. Didn't have anything worth using, and I didn't particularly like Pulse of the Tangle too much. Green's out.
Red was decent, but I had very, very few red cards, like maybe 5 at the most? And the only ones that were worth using was Detonate, and then I pulled that Pyrite Spellbomb. Nope, bye bye red.
I had really good white pulls. Arrest, Roar of the Kha, Raise the Alarm, Sphere of Purity. My Darksteel white was good too, pulling two Pteron Ghosts, two Metal Fatigues, and a Leonin Battlemage. I set the white aside, ready to put it in if I needed.
Blue was very good. I had the Fatespinner, which I would no doubt enjoy using, because it annoys the hell out of people. I also had those nice few cards, Thirst for Knowledge, Silver Myr for blue mana, and then Regress and Aether Spellbomb for bounce. Oh and I can't forgot my victory condition alot from today, Neurok Spy. Out of my Darksteel I had two Vedalken Engineers which came in handy alot today, a Neurok Transmuter which I automatically decided I needed to use due to the Emissaries and if someone pulled out a Memnarch on me, and then a Machinate, and we all love can trips.
Black. Oh black I was planning on playing when the spoiler was complete. I got two creatures from Mirrodin that were good for use, Nim Shrieker and Flayed Nim. I only threw in two other spells from Mirrodin which were Irradiate and Wail of the Nim. Darksteel was much, much better. Echoing Decay was on-spot removal for most of my matches, and then Hunger of the Nim was a victory condition. I also threw in my only Murderous Spoils since I figured I could use more on-spot removal.
Finally, Artifacts. I had an awesome amountof equipment to use, and I pulled some awesome ones. I knew since I was playing black that Specter's Shroud was a must. I didn't pull any Bonesplitters or Leonin Scimiters, so I threw in the two Vulshock Morningstars that I pulled from my packs. Ah, Loxodon Warhammer, I had been waiting for you, where had you been at the Mirrodin prerelease? You've come just in time. And oh yes, we can't forget yet another piece of my victory conditions, Whispersilk Cloak. Oh, and I can't forget Nightmare Lash[/card[, which has earned my uttmost respect, as it let me kick alot of arse. Hmm, ye 'ole artifacts, normal ones, you know, not creatures, not equipments? As mentioned earlier, I threw in [card]Aether Spellbomb. Aether Vile appealed to me, it just did. I threw it in, no harm, it might even help. Ah, Darksteel Pendant. I love this card, and thusly I used it much to my advantage. Okay, now this next card, is an odd pick, I must say. Kraken's Eye. Yes, that's right the the blue card from the new cycle of "Lucky Charms" which is sure to be put into 9th edition. Creatures, lots o creatures. Ornithopter, Steel Wall, Silver Myr, Yotian Soldier, all good picks to put in. And then, I had quite a set of Arcbound creatures. Arcbound Worker, Arcbound Stinger, Arcbound Hybrid, Arcbound Lancer. Hell, I threw them all in. The stinger and worker helped alot. The lancer and hybrid not so much. Ah yes, and them my mighty helper, Spire Golem. Four of those are going in my Affinity deck, no doubt about it.
So at this point as I'm looking at my stacks of blue, black, and white, plus my artifacts, I begin to think. I know three colors is not a good idea. I've tried it and failed miserably. I knew that blue had to stay no matter what, and I was already planning on black. White, regardless of the few really handy cards you gave me, you're out. Sorry my little Leonin Battlemage, I won't forget you (actually thats a lie). So I eliminate any cards I don't need, and then put my remaining cards inside my small tourney box and turn my registration sheet in and retrieve 10 Islands and 10 Swamps. It seemed good enough to me, I was still below 60 cards, the way I wanted it. So then after that I waited. Then it was time.
So here's my final decklist:
Blue Creatures:
2x Vedalken Engineer
1x Neurok Transmuter (works great against emissaries)
1x Neurok Spy
1x Fatespinner
Other Blue Spells
1x Thirst for Knowledge
1x Regress
1x Machinate
Black Creatures:
1x Flayed Nim
1x Nim Shrieker
Other Black Spells
1x Echoing Decay
2x Hunger of the Nim
1x Wail of the Nim
1x Irradiate
1x Aether Snap
1x Murderous Spoils
Artifacts:
1x Specter's Shroud
2x Vulshock Morningstar
1x Loxodon Warhammer
1x Whispersilk Cloak
1x Nightmare Lash
1x Aether Spellbomb
1x Aether Vial
1x Darksteel Pendant
1x Kraken's Eye
1x Ornithopter
1x Arcbound Worker
1x Steel Wall
1x Arcbound Stinger
1x Silver Myr
1x Yotian Soldier
1x Arcbound Hybrid
1x Spire Golem
1x Arcbound Lance
Lands:
10x Swamp
10x Island
Stage 3: The Rounds
Round 1:
First round I played against some some old dude. He was playing red, green, and blue all three. Ok, yeah, sure. The first match I beat him severaly. He had hardly any defense, and what defense he did have, I was able to fend off upon their attack with an equal amount of creatures. Ah, but off to the side sat my little Neurok Spy. I love you Neurok Spy. So what do I do? I equip two Vulshock Morningstars, a Specter's Shroud, and Loxodon Warhammer to it. A couple of swings end the first game. The 2nd game went more or less the same way. Swiped him, oh yeah. I must say though he was an worthy opponent, for he made us go until time ran out and we had only 5 turns left to declare a victor.
Inbetween I wandered around some more, talked to the afore mentioned guy whose really cool. I forgot to mention that I made a joke out of buying purple sleeves to play with. Basically I said that I was so confident about the manliness of my deck that it did not mind wearing purple sleeves. The reason though is because purple is between black and blue, and since I ended up playing black and blue, it matched.
Round 2:
Ah this fellow was a funny fellow, very chipper and uppity. I sat down and began to play. Ah, he was playing green and white. I at first feared artifact removal. It didn't end up being that much of a threat. Early on in the first game I got a Neurok Spy with a Specter's Shroud on it. That ended any hand he would normally have. Ooh, he played a Darksteel Brute. Fun. So I took to the air. What the?! An Emissary of Hope. Great. Well, Echoing Decay fixed that, no worries anymore. Bam Boom Ding a Ling he's dead both rounds from unblockable fliers. Muah hah hah.
So here I am awaiting my next match. I stared in the case, and saw two Chrome Moxen sitting there. "Hmmmm" I thought to myself. Then it hit me, oh yes yes yes, Mono Black Control. I had witnessed how well black had worked in my previous games. They would not work in my Affinity deck, but they would in a T2 MBC, or atleast B/U Control. So I pulled out the 2x Chrome Moxen and it was time go have another go.
Round 3:
This guy, a bit strange. Not in a bad way, just something I noticed about him. As I sat down, he said vigorously "For we have played side by side all this time, now, we must fight one on one." It hit me, that he had been sitting beside me or the next match over from me the previous 2 rounds. Heh, what a co-winky-dink. Anyways so yeah, he got me pretty low on life the first game, however Kraken's Eye prevailed, letting me equip my Nightmare Lash to a suitable creature for the kill. Nice win. 2nd round was hard, and he beat me. I got creature screwed, and badly. 3rd round I won again, using unblockable creatures. Well, time to go get the rest of those rares I need...
I head back up to the case. Ah! He has managed to get a few Darksteel items in. So, here's what I bought total:
1x Arcbound Reclaimer
1x Sword of Light and Shadow
1x Mephitic Ooze
3x Sculpting Steel
4x Triskelion
3x Worldslayer (I collect these now)
3x Nightmare Lash
2x Power Conduit
1x Broodstar
2x Platinum Angel
2x Glimmervoid
2x Chrome Mox
4x Dawn Elemental
3x Bane of the Living
2x Mutilate
2x Visara the Dreadful
2x Reshape
A prety good haul, and mostly all for decks. Muah hah! Junk I don't need turned into store credit to be used on that which I do need! Ah round four has begun...
4th and Final Round:
This time I was up against a kid, I'd say maybe 13, 14? A cute kid, very polite, had a good personality. The first game I totally beat him down. He was a good sport about it, and laughed, so I didn't feel bad. I mean he wasn't a scrub or something, but he was so light hearted, it almost made me feel sorta bad. the 2nd round, crapola, lasted a looong time, and he finally beat me. We were just getting ready to start our final match, and time ran out. We had just begun but the judge said we couldn't go on. D'oh! A draw! Noooo! Well the kid offered his hand, so I shook his hand and said good game, that I hope to play him at Fifth Dawn. After that we both turned in our slip, and went to claim what was ours.
Stage 4: Prize Collection
Me and the kid (who now I remember his name is Charley) went up there. It turned out that he had one his three previous matches. I was amazed, and congratulated him. He had went 3 and 1, just had I. And being 3 and 1, we both won 10 packs of Darksteel as our prize. Because he was good enough and friendly enough, I didn't even give any second thoughts about the fact that if I had one the last match, I would have won a box. It was okay. So after that, it was time to leave. A long days work, 6 hours exactly. On the way out I said bye to anybody who I cared to say bye too, since I wouldn't see them for another 3 and a half months, at Fifth Dawn. Next time, if I can remember to do so by then, I shall ask for their emails or something, so we can keep in contact. And thusly the drive home began, and now here I am, writing this report.
The best PR yet. An after fact I learned on the way out was that this was the biggest turnout they had ever had up there for holding prereleases. I was glad to be one of the many to attend.- Show previous comments 19 more

I remember I once won a tournament with a thallid deck.
The moron I played with last had a lot of really nasty creatures, but no destroy spells whatsoever (he had a few counterspells though).
I think I ended up with having an army close to 500 creatures and a near unlimited supply of "fog" due to my Spore Flowers.
Had he just a single Nevinyrrals Disk or Wrath of God I would be fucked.

Journey of 1000 Years
by KISS
I know just where you come from
Where all your yesterdays have gooone
And now you're done
But you've only just begun
Its time you opened up the doors
And now its all very clear
This Journey of 1000 Years
Can you feel it comin?
Can you hear the sound?
Can you feel it comin?
Or is it the roar of the crowd?
Can you feel it comin?
Can you hear it?
Or is it the roar of the crowd?
Did you sleep without dreams?
Did you fly without wings?
Did you touch without feel?
Where nothing is real?
Did you feel it comin?
Or was it the roar of the crowd?- Show previous comments 18 more

Sleeping Beast
by SKinny Puppy
Early one morning shattering life in the face
The finest creative loss of grace
At a parlorshop with no hope
Meet the people try to cope
Nod the head with distraction
Faces flirt for your reaction
With a grin over again
Start the day another's whim
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Frighten the peaceful powerless thought in the head
With decree attorney singe my dread
In the darkness know it well
Siege of faces love to tell
How and why its indecision
Notice change by shapeshifting from the real
Sacred seal rip with sex intelligent sneer
Resist the useless aggravation kicked in teeth
The blankness created forms a wreath
Slap the coffin hear no shout
Feel the courage seeping out
Plunge the knife with no reason
Slash the name within season
Slump retreat run again
Ride the pain going insane
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Deraef ylsuoregnad si yppup ynniks...
Deraef ylsuoregnad si yppup ynniks...
Deraef ylsuoregnad si yppup ynniks...
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Very same morning shattering life in the face
The finest creative loss of grace
Find the truth far to down
Bring it up sense will drown
Inside review sense elation
Can't regain the motivation
Piercing probing is disturbing
Prove to me I'm not worth knowing
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Nice nightmare she's a sleeping beast
Life's endear anguish is your feast
Now you know
It's time to die here
Your son buries this

I'm gonna search this town,
from door to door.
The laugh I crave
I can't find no more.
I got to find teh funney,
I declare there ain't no lie.
I ain't had no real good laughing
since teh funney said goodbye.
You know I hate to see the pun
sinking to the west,
'cos I know teh whole joke's
gonna be one solid mess.
I got to find teh funney,
I declare there ain't no lie.
I ain't had no real good laughing
since teh funney said goodbye.
Well ever since the day
that he said we were glue,
I've been nervous
and shook up too.
I got to find teh funney,
I declare there ain't no lie.
I had no real good laughing
since teh funney said goodbye.
Well I don't care if the last thing
I ever do in my life,
is to find that little funney
and make her my wife.
I got to find teh funney,
I declare there ain't no lie.
I had no real good laughing
since teh funney said goodbye.

So here it is, at 2 am in the morning, and me wide awake from having Tornado warnings around us left and right all night long. Under a tornado watch until 6 am, how wonderful. There's something very strange about the weather...very strange. I'm seeing types of clouds here I've never seen before. Earlier when I walked outside when we were last under a warning I could look up and literallly see the clouds, in the middle of the night, even without lightning. As if I already didn't hate missouri, all the thunderstorms arrive during the middle of the night in my area, so you can never truly see what the clouds look like.

Heh, I live in Missouri too. Which city do you live in? I live in O'Fallon, and we've been having tornados touch down (for a very short time) every night for the past 5 days. I also happen to live in the highest point in O'Fallon, lucky me.
I live in Nevada, MO, its about 45 minutes north of Joplin, MO. or if you don't know where that is, its about an hour and a half south of Kansas City.

I just recently started playing a table-top miniatures game called Warhammer 40K, which is a table-top miniatures game. For those of you (I'm assuming the majority) who're unfamiliar with this game, it's a futuristic game that takes place in the 41st century when everything is ravaged by war. There are several factions you can play as, too, each with their own background and reason for battle. The game itself has missions and objectives, and is comparible to the pc game Starcraft in that aspect. It's an expensive game to get started on but is well worth the fun and time. You buy pieces which are like models, as you have to glue them together (mostly customizable), paint them yourself, and mount them on their base. You don't have to paint them but you can do some really cool paint jobs as I'm going to post that I've done on mine. Another fun part of it is building terrain to play on, which I'm also posting. This last week off and on I've been working on terrain for the game and have completed a board :D It's about 3.7 ft. by 4 ft. and contains obstacles and more :D
The toxin pools
This is the south-west side of the board. You can see where toxin pools are dominant, there's crater formed out of some foam stuff I carved and stuck down using wall-repair putty. I made the ground out of sand and spray painted it, and a few pebbles are scattered about. I also used old vaccum tubes and painted them black for the pipes the toxin appears to be coming from.
The rest of the board
On the right side you can see the black structure where a charred bunker is, made out of an old container. Next to it is a smoke-stack/tower made out of a wierd part of the end of a vacuum tube. Next to that is a complex of smoke stacks/towers, the biggest just some junk laying around my grandfather's garage, and the two smaller stacks next to it a tube I cut in half that was also in the same junk pile. Next to them you can see a vent to an underground tunnel (i'm just making that up, there's no tunnel there, but I'm gonna say that's what it's for since you can't open it ;)), made out of some wierd thing on a pool pump (again from the junk pile), and then another pipe leaking toxin (more vacuum tubing).
The entire project was based around junk and stuff found freely around the house, the only thing I had to spend money on was spray paint which doesn't cost much at all. It went very well in the end :) And now these guys can play on it that I've painted (5 down, 11 to go)
The models, thusfar -
That's it I can't take it anymore I'm going to sleep. G'day folks! And Use3D check your PM Box :P

Ok, last night's dream was just fucking wierd, but not in a bad way, wierd as in I have no idea wtf I would have dreamed that for. And this is also the first case where I've met Trent in a dream.
I'm not sure about the beginning of the dream all I know is that its really dark and we're driving around and next thing you know it's dusk. That's right, time went backwards, or atleast the day/night thing did. Anyway, I get off of this boss and go to this store and look for nin singles and cds, and was originally for some wierd ass reasons looking for a dragonball z toy from one of my other dreams (mind you, I hate dbz now). So I go upstairs and there's all these old, dirty looking toys that are guns and weapons and shit, and along the walls are cds and books and dvds on shelves. So I go look at the nin ones, I find a single for Head Like a Hole, a single for TDTWWA, and some bootleg that has rare songs on it. I proceed to look for an import cd by a band I like that's only released one cd, that I've never been able to find.
Anyway, after that I'm leaving. Everything fades to black, and suddenly I'm hearing The Frail. Next thing I know I'm walking through a dark corridor out to the side of a huge fucking stage. There's no guard rails or anything. It's like a huge auditorium rather than a stadium. I look up and its gone into the end of The Wretched while I was trying to find a place to sit. I look up to see Trent smashing a keyboard, and its all techy and stuff, the keys flash different colors. Then he tosses it off stage in my direction before I realize it (I was stunned, I probably would have got nailed in the head if it had been thrown at me from shock), and this stupid looking chubby kid by me gets it, it was like he tossed it directly at him.
Well, I was pissed. He started singing 'I'm Looking Forwars to Joining You, Finally', and it was great. Suddenly he started looking for someone to come up on stage and sing the rest. And I was all hyped, and then he pointed at me, so a security guy helped me onto the stage, and I sang the last half of the song. For some reason, after the concert was over, I got back on stage. Hardly anyone was still there and those who were were scattered around. I went back to one of the props that looked like a small fountain (wtf?), and there were Magic cards inside of it. The head of it was rotating somehow, but as I looked down into it there was something I wanted, even though I don't remember what it was. Trent came up and asked me what I was doing and I said I'd dropped a Worldslayer in there (note: Worldslayer is a card that I collect because I really like it, I have 9 of them, 1 foil, 1 japanese foil).
He said to just get it out of there, and I accidentally picked up another card and looked at it and he said something like "well, that one's not that great anyway, is it?" I agreed, shook his hand and thanked him for the conert, and headed off of the side of the stage. On the side of the stage there were this statues of angels without genitelia, holding swords. Probably about 4ft tall. Now in real life I would never do this, but in the dream I grabbed it, and ran out to the bus with it. I put it on top the seat and told this fat chick to get the fuck out of my seat, got the statue, sat it on the floor in front of me, and we left. Thus ends my really wierd dream with Trent in it.- Show previous comments 12 more

Heh, I had a zombie dream after watching 28 Days Later. Basicaly it started out as your typical zombie movie where everyone was running around fleeing from zombies and shooting the shit out of them. Then later, as it started to get eerie due to a lack of humans, I came upon this resistance cell of zombies and their leader believed the human race should be wiped out because we were useless and the zombies should rule. Apparently he provided a rather good argument because I agred to join him whereupon he bit me violently on the neck, which was rather painful. After that, I was a zombie which didn't feel any different than being human except I felt colder and had a large chunk of my neck missing. Fun times.

So lately things have been between exciting and boring. I got the packet of information from the Illinois Institute of Arts yesterday, a few days earlier than they said I'd receive it. Looking through it, I was amazed at the stuff. It's a bit overwhelming, really. They had some facts in there, and I found out that starting salaries for Graphic Artists (Game Design falls under that catagory) usually start out making $45,300 a year. Like, woah. I'll be doing alot more with my life than alot of people I know will, and makes a feeling of greatness. It also came with a course outline of what I'd be doing for each quarter and everything, and then a bunch of other info. Next week I have an appointment with Mrs. Hendrin (my former High School counceller) to see about scholarships and funds and stuff like that. This whole thing has me so excited and looking forward to life. For once I have a direction, and think I'll beable to enjoy my future, and I'll beable to make friends like myself and actually get to hang out more than once a month.
I'm trying to decide a way to lose weight. I've thought about a low-carb diet or something on the order of that I dunno. I was watching the food channel today and the show on there was called "Low Carb and Lovin It", and he claimed to lose a ton of weight, as well as his family. Hah I feel really weird typing this into this journal, I'm actually talking about health stuff. But hey, atleast I'm not gonna endanger myself with it or get carried away. The way I see it, a person can be healthy and watch their weight and everything with getting completely carried away over it and end up annorexic or giving up meat.
Also I found my 1st Ed. AD&D Player's Handbook, Deities & Demigods Manual, and 1st Ed. Monster Manuals yesterday. It's kind of funny to look at the stuff in them. The artwork is old, but still god...in a way.
Tommorrow night Lance said something about coming over which would be cool. I think I'm gonna proxy up most of what I'm missing because all the stuff's on the way. I have three T2/Standard decks under construction right now. The closest to being done is Mono-Red, however the most realistic of being done first is my Mono-Blue even though it's farthest from complete. The Mono-Blue seems like it'll be the funnest. Cards in italics I already have, cards with a * are on the way via snail-mail trading

Had to take Ninja Gaiden back to Movie Gallery today after a 5 day rental (for once I'm glad they enforce 5 day rentals on anyone that rents there), and must say I'm disappointed to take it back. Usually I never rent games or buy them anymore because I beat them within the first day or so of buying them, obviously not worth $50 you pay for games nowadays brand new. Well anyway the game was fun and gave me a challenge, I'm not sure how many 'chapters' there are in it but I'm on chapter 5. I'm considering purchasing it, has alot of replay value (I would know, my idiotic sister saved over my game so I had to start over once, stupid cow). Gotta love it though, ninjas fucking rock. Except those stupid asshats that throw explosive shurikens...
