Woohoo! Finally back from my various camps and trips for a few days before i head out again for 2 weeks (at least i can bring my laptop this time and get work done!)
Phew; typed all day from 12pm to 2am with about 4 hours of break altogether -__- thats approximately 10 hours of typing... shoot me. At least its not like its my job or anything required of me though, so i guess its all good.
I got done about 3/4 of the notes, concepts, and ideas i wrote for the newest story i plan on doing (too bad thats like a third of all the ideas i have for it, all of which are still unwritten). I even got my friend in on the action too, hes got some great ideas so i hope it all turns out as well as i'm praying for it too.
Tomorrow i hope i can finish and maybe start typing the first chapter from my notebook! woo! Only 15 pages it of an original 34 remain! so close yet so far, doesn't that seem true of all life though?
Well whatever, I'M BACK! i missed u all (that i know) during my 2-3 week computer drought, and will submit everything I've been working on until now as soon as its typed up and edited =-) |

Hey everybody; I would like to apologize for my lack of activity recently -__-. I don't know how many people read (or like) my stuff, but I personally HATE it when authors and TV shows and similar that I like are random/sporadic with new chapters and showings, and when they do come out, they're somewhat stretched and far between.
The only reason for my absence as of late is because of the numerous vacations and whatnot (with lack of computers to submit my stuff) as well as sports and the usual type of activities.
I am planning on being home in about 2 weeks, and am writing multiples pages each day as well as editing so, for those who follow or like my submissions, I'll be able to upload my chapters for my current stories (Pyro, Harbinger, and The Fate) as well as a new story that i came up with and am really into right now that I'm really hoping comes out well in the end.
I apologize if i seem cocky even in the least (not my intention to brag or anything similar in the least  ) or if reading this makes anyone 'sigh' or whatever; but i felt like it would be okay to let know whats going on and that I am sorry for my inconsistency!
Ps: Spain won -> =-D i hate to say i told u so, but i did! ha ya that's it
Pss: is the blog a bad place to put this or is it okay to post what blogs I've been posting or am i like confusing/switching up blogs and forums?0_o
Psss: i would post stuff but I'm on my Ihone right now so that's not going to happen. haha thanks

Just finished watching the anime Angel Beats by Jun Maeda.
No idea if anyone else watches it (or has watched it), but i would strongly recommend it. I've never felt so strongly towards the ending the series concludes with, as well as the different emotions and feelings it draws out of its viewers.
I now proudly have to say that out of everything I've watched and finished in any category, I've never liked any ending better than the way Angel Beats portrayed. |

Yessss! Summer is finally here after (what felt like to me) a very fast year.
Moving on to being a Junior in high school and happily waving goodbye to all the classes that harassed me and plagued my sanity with stress and discontentment throughout the year.
Somehow I'm stuck feeling that next school year is going to be weird; getting a new campus, freaking insane hard classes (supposedly), and my little bro is finally moving on up from middle school into the prestigious grade of freshman... weird...
With finals finally over and done (thank the Lord), I can finally get back into writing after my week or so of inactivity =-)
Hoping its going to be an excellent summer; got: sports camps, 2 week vacation to Palm Desert, and camping with my best friend whenever we make time. In all I just hope the good parts outweigh the countless Saturdays that will be taken over by ACT and SAT test practice and classes T__T

Fallout 3 Vs. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion |
|
|
Any Bethesda fans out there? I personally, am not a fan; I'm a healthy addict. I've played over 100 hours on both Fallout 3, and Oblivion, and I have to say I'm torn betweeen the two on which one I think is better.
Where do any of you (who've played them) stand on this topic?
Just from my experience and preference i have to say that i think that Oblivion is better. mainly because there is just so much more to do and its such a larger game. Fallout's amazing though, it has a lot crisper of a feel, and the 'karma' addition and 'level perks' are a big bonus, so in the end its a close call.
Which one is better and/or more fun to play and why, or can they even be compared? |

I got to wondering, after reading all the comments on Pritrostell's blog about Naruto Shippuden, who out there watches anime?And for you who do, what are your top 3 to 5 animes and why? (one from each major genre if possible or just your overall favorites)
Action / adventure / martial arts / supernatural / etc...
Romance / ecchi / harem / etc...
Horror /psychological / mystery / etc...
comedy / music / cooking / etc...
you get the idea
Personally, i would have to say my 5 all time favorites are as follows:
1) One Piece; simply because im in love with the characters and i love Oda's work
2) Rurouni Kenshin / Samurai X; the first real anime I got into, was good for the first 2 seasons, but the 3rd kind of got off track
3) Toaru (Railgun and Index); loved the idea and concept for it, praying there'll be a second season
4) Eden of the East / Spice and Wolf; for more of a serious and dramatic twist, loved both of them and had a blast watching each series
5) Either: Hellsing or Kenichi; both are fun to watch, Hellsing in a more bloody and powerful way, and Kenichi again simply because i got hooked at episode 1
--I have tons more I'd love to add, but ill save that for another time. Let me know what you think! |

Wondering where anyone stands on the solution to this and what you think possible solutions might be.
You are faced with a choice to save one or the other; not both, nor neither.
You can save your first love who you have always cared for more than anyone else in existence; someone who you would happily die for in an instant. Or, you can save your best friend; the person who has been with you for as long as you can remember, the one who would always have your back in thick and thin; someone you thought you couldn’t live without.
Who do you save? How does that decision effect the rest of your life, as well as the life of the one you saved? Are they grateful to you? Or do they hate you saying “Why didn’t you save the other…?”
How will they and their attitude and choices, created by your own choice, shape the rest of your life with them; and, once you save one, is that really the person you’re saving? Or, by choosing one over the other, do they change forever and cease being the one you once knew? By choosing, do you lose everything in all and in itself?
However, what if you were the reason, the cause for the one’s death? In your head you saved them, but in reality, you’re the one who murdered the one. To you, you’re the hero; you justify your actions by the fact that you ‘chose’ one instead of the other. However, to the one you didn’t kill… you are their object of hatred, and pain… |
