A Dream

I've had this bouncing around in my head for a while, and finally put it down. If you really like it and want to share it, go ahead, just be sure to credit it :)

Enjoy.


"I dreamt of her again last night,
standing in the soft moonlight,
in the forest of glass and steel.

She looked at me with eyes wide, bright,
and I knew the time was right,
to tell her what I feel.

I turn towards her, standing there,
wind flowing through her hair,
lovely auburn strands,

We step together, we are so near,
I want to tell her that I care,
and reach out for her hands.

Our lips draw close, about to kiss,
when I sense something amiss,
all is not well here;

Behind my back I hear a hiss,
turn around, did not want this,
a laser, coming from a bear.

Flash of steel beside my face,
something flies into the space,
between me and my love;

Katana swings, frighting pace,
Ninja team is now in place,
Leaping from the sky above.

Great white shark, up from the ground,
chasing Optimus Prime around,
demanding it gets some respect;

As robots march into the fray,
zombies rise up from the grave,
looking for brains to feast;

I run with her, we hope and pray,
just to last one more day,
or be alone again at least.

But it will not be so, I am afraid,
for across the path a shadow played,
and a pale cloaked man appeared.

We fled the path, to search for aid,
but followed we where by this horrible shade,
a vampire, as we feared.

She stumble on a fallen root,
and so he finished his pursuit,
and feasted on her blood;

He turned to me, I stood mute,
I found a gun, but could not shoot,
As I looked down at my love.

He bared his fangs, and moved to me,
I tore a branch off from a tree,
and through his heart drove the stake;

As I look back I now can see,
a piece of wisdom for you, free,
That pizza before bed, I should not have ate."

Presenting- Rocket Turtle

Well, I haven't gotten the pics and vids for the trebuchet yet, so I guess I'll go back to what I was doing. That is, its time to continue our tour though my mind via my pictures.

Up next is a picture telling the story of a turtle that is sick and tired of going slow. He wants to go fast. Blazing fast. Really super duper blazing fast. Like that fast that you know you should slow down, but want to keep going faster. Like that fast. But even faster. So, how did he solve this dilemma? Like any well educated reptile would: by strapping a rocket to his back.

So, with out further ado, I present Rocket Turtle.

OK, so on further review, it's more of a jet than a rocket. But he's a turtle, how is he supposed to know the difference? I mean, its not like he went to college or anything. He couldn't exactly fill out the applications considering he hasn't got any thumbs! But know, you all expect him to have a rocket, and he's got a jet instead, and that just isn't good enough for you. Well, at least he's trying. Can't you at least give him that? I mean, come one! Have you ever strapped a jet to your back? I didn't think so.

That's it for now. We're getting close to the end here, so I probably need to try and come up with some new stuff. Adios.

International Visitors

I was looking at my site stats, and saw I've got some international visits. In the past 100 views, there were:
1 Canadian,
2 Brits
1 Swede,
1 Romanian
1 Indian,
and 1 Polish.

That is pretty awesome. And that's only in the past 100 views- no idea if there were any before that. I'll try and find a good activity map to put up so you all don't think I'm just blowing smoke. Of course, if smoke were coming out of my lungs, I probably wouldn't be healthy enough to type this...

I H8 Bees

Ok, my grandparents are in town so I may not be able to get on every day. So I'll give y'all a new picture tonight.

This is my favorite picture. I may have said that about one of my others already, but this one tops that. This picture is so awesome, it has two names. FireMan and I Hate Bees. Frankly, I hate all insects, since an incident when I was three where some carpenter ants decided that my bed made a nice apartment.

So, here it is, I Hate Bees:
In this picture, we see the aftermath of an innocent young man coming across some evil, murderous bees. They have lit him on fire, and are chasing him around with an axe. They are furry little manifestations of pure evil. And buzziness. Can't trust 'em. Flying around in stripes, stealing pollen, selling tooth-rotting honey to innocent young children. Dying when they sting you. Its a conspiracy I tell you! They'll turn you into one of them! That's just what we need, a bunch of Zombees (get it?). Ok, so puns aren't funny. But still, you probably get my point. I don't like bees. I mean, look what they did to this guy! And no, I don't know how they lit him on fire, or where they found the axe, or how they're chasing him with it. Its because they're evil.


Bees are evil.

Happy Easter! Plus new post.

First off, Happy Easter. Its important to realize that today is more than the Easter bunny and candy, but is the day that Jesus rose and released us from our sins. We need to remember that as we celebrate the day and remember the real reason to be joyful: we are saved.


On another note: We got Halo Wars! Woot woot! Its pretty awesome, coming from a fan of Halo, RTS games, and Ensemble Studios. I can definitely see problems people could have with it: its campaign is too short, there is no Covenant campaign, the story, while really good, is a little predictable (pretty similar to the rest of the series in terms of what happens). And on lower difficulties (I played through on Normal) the enemy AI isn't that intelligent and a bit predictable.
However, the good outweighs the bad. The story is really good, the graphics are quite good (downright amazing on pre-rendered scenes, still really good in gameplay), the sound effects are straight up Halo, the soundtrack as well, the gameplay is pretty solid. I give it an 80/100.


So, have fun with whatever the Easter Bunny brings, and remember the true reason to celebrate.
God's Blessings

MW

P.S.- Oh, and Halo Wars has an AWESOME (underlined, glowing, and on fire as well) cut scene where a group of Spartans are fighting a bunch of elites. Think ninja spies in battle armor with guns. That are on fire. An epic, awesome fire. That rocks. And you'll have a fraction of the awesomeness. And the main character goes total bada$$ on the Arbiter. Old Arbiter, not the one from Halo 3. Its pretty sweet.
IMHO.

Truly Epic

Wow, the Muffin Man was pretty popular.

This next picture is truly epic, and thus is its title. It will need a little explanation I suppose, but that does not diminish its epicness.

I give you: Truly Epic


This is a picture of a velociraptor that is on fire playing the guitar with its eye lasters while a ninja sneaks up behind it. Never will you find a picture more awesome than this. Unless the ninja was on fire too. And had a lightsaber. Drats! It's not epic enough!

I <3 Companion Cube

Found some cool stuff for Portal, thought I'd share some of it.

From FanFiction.net, by encoder,

Once upon a level dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Once upon a level dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious puzzle of forgotten lore,
While I starved, nearly collapsing, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my level door.
'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, tapping at my level door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Coster 3
From Limerick DB:

There once was a buggy AI
Who decided her subject should die.
When the plot was uncovered,
The subjected discovered
That sadly the cake was a lie.

Real Life Portal Gun
This one has got to be the coolest thing of them all. Not only did he create a real looking portal gun, he built it at his girlfriend's request. That's right. He has a girlfriend who enjoys video games to the point where she cosplays, and wanted to dress up as Chel from Portal. Lucky dude.










Well, that's my geekiness for today. Or maybe not. Never can tell with me.

I can feel my heart clogging already.

Found this on geekologie.com, from the product site.

1 Can of Yoder’s Canned Bacon

Fully Cooked, Ready to Eat, 1 Can, 40 to 50 slices per can

MREdepot.com Exclusive!!

For the first time in almost 20 years, canned bacon is back in this Country. Not available in any store!

More than 2 years went into the development of this bacon, and we’re proud to be able to bring this back to you after improving on a what was a very successful brand of canned bacon made years ago by Celebrity Foods (registered Trademark, all rights reserved).

Finally! Thought I'd never be able to keep bacon endlessly.
Come to think of of it, this would be better than buying a mini-fridge to keep bacon in my dorm next year. Hmm...

The Awesome Penguin

Alrighty then. Now we start the series of sketches I did last summer when bored. These are going to be in no particular order, just however I feel like posting them. If you see something you like, please comment with your adoring praise. And conversely, if you hate it,  please tell me so that I can send a box of rotten fruit your way. 

So then, here we are: The Awesome Penguin.

This one is pretty straight forward. The penguin is awesome, and he knows it. Now of course, all penguins are awesome, but this one is particularlly cocky. Don't ask how he drives that car. It is part of his epic coolness.

That is all there is about the penguin. So now, onto the next exhibit.
