OK, i 'go away' for 20 something hours and there's like 20 new posts!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Anyway, I've put the 'color-system' in place (temporarily) -- just some CSS. You don't have to do anything different unless you dont have a picture yet....in that case just put your 'real' name in the url box when you post --- if you have any problems/questions/suggestions --- e-mail me (mrchuckles85 at hotmail dot com). Also -- if you want different colors -- change 'em yourself or e-mail me....I probably won't be back online again until this Friday (because I have a job that requires me to work all week)...sooooo yeah.
On other subjects ... i fourth the decision to kick out Asher or Todd or whoever the little punk is...
Ummmm....that's it for right this minute...

I guess I should hurry and get my icon in huh? Oh well.
I've kinda been gone for a while. At least since friday night and so much had happened. For two days I stared at pauls one post, then Im gone for 36 hours and things just explode.
Umm... Okay, Frequency; I didnt play much of it because I just lack musical talent, but I think with a bit more than 10mins play I would have gotten better and not as frustrated. DDR, I think its just a party type game, a game with friends. Maybe Frequency can be too and Im just not with it, but I have no opinion.
I say Asher gets the "boot"! No offense, I mean maybe you deserve some offense, but Kate did it for me so Ill just let her speak for all of us(or at least me); I've recently changed my view on swearing, I dont swear cause I think its kinda trashy(no offense) and my Dad turned me off from it cause he used to use em all. And Like Matt; The enlightened, now 17 (happy B-day)word-monger, I realize they are just words and dont bother me anymore, but coming from you they are even less. So, you havent given anything to the group, no reason for us to keep you, no great contribution to conversations(never mind defending yourself by insulting our friend, who it seems you could never be). So, thats my piece, put a fork in him, hes done.
I think this is a good experiece and that he was only put here so that we could set a precedent by kicking him off. At least this way we dont have to make a challenging, split decision. Its good. Well, thats my rant for now.
I just got done watching Mulan. Is it odd to like a movie like that SO much. Beyond the fact that Mulan is like a dream girl(to me anyway, She is beautiful, smart, strong and humbel. And Im not all weird, perverse about cartoons; if you dont know what I mean about Mulan see the movie, she kicks butt!) I just like it and Im not ashamed(at least until Im insulted for my opinion and have to change it to regain what little respect i have. J/K, U guys already know I repect your opinions, but stick to my own.) Anyway, great Disney movie.
A disney/FF RPG?! Does anyone else think that sound insane, but in the cool, looks like fun way. I think this game maybe the one to really throw me into the RPG genre. I mean, I waded in it, but havent been flung head first and rolled around, never wanting to get out, but I want to and i think this maybe the game.
Next LAN or whenever it becomes possible; we are getting the new Timesplitters when it comes out and multitaps and a link and playing 8 person FPS a la PS2! Comments?

Let my opinion be stated once again. DDR is a destructive deamon of some sort. It will bend you to it's dancing will unitl you feel the need to serve it by dancing when you wake and before you go to bed along with regular recreational time. You will eventialy become a prostrated slave to it's pulsing beat. Unable to move a single limb to touch the keys.
And then your hell, shall truly begin.
Beware this.

Hey, isn't it my job anyway to do the design of the site? I mean I was un-officialy officialy anounced as head and supreme ruler of this site. I mean, I don't mind haveing coders as minions but I mean c'mon. Give me something to do.
As for the Frequency vs. DDR debate I also have an opinion. I must say. Since I'm not fan boy about either one of them my opinion should be revired, or at least viewed as less bias than Gib's or Paul's.
Frequency wins hands down. You can say all you want, Pual, that DDR is harder and more chalenging, and I would agree. But the thing is when I sit down/stand up to play a game I want it to be fun and chalenging. Now Im not saying that DDR isn't fun. Its very very fun. But I'm gonna have to say the frequency is more fun. But I'm not talking arcade style, because then DDR would win. I'm taking about home use here. And Frequency always wins, if only they made more songs for it. Which is another aspect to look at. DDR has almost endless possablities what with the difficulties and the effect you can put on the arrows and such, but frequency is slightly limited to the number of songs that is on the disk (which isn't very many by the way. The thing is though, if Frequency ever does make a sequal, it will be twice as good. Plus, you know (since its a console game) that if/when a sequal comes out it will have more fetures on it. What has DDR put in new lately? A hold arrow? I mean c'mon, i need more than that to keep me intrested in the next release. Another asect to look at is creativity, in the personal sense. I'm big into creativiy. So when I saw that you couls actualy make your own mix with Frequency I was giddy as a school girl. With DDR all you can do is edit when the arrows pop up. I'm not impressed. One more thing. DDR has no powerups and it also gives me no insentive to do well, except for the fact that my "grade" might be better at the end. Frequency has powerups and it makes me want to finish a sequence so it will sound better.
Sorry Paul, but I must say Frequency is a better game.
DDR has the viraty and the dificulty, but Frequency is just plain more fun.

As we all know, the current queen of anything and all J-pop is Ayumi Hamasaki. But... I found... something. She's no Ayumi, of coruse. She's something else. Entirly. Like a Rock is to a Alternative song. Similar, but each different. Ayumi is the master of her realm. But, Utada Hikaru... her songs floor me! Tracks 2 and 3 on her cd are now right up there with some of my favorite songs of J-pop. AND I'M ON TRACK 4 OF HER CD!!! If any of you want to head into J-pop, go for Ayumi. If you've heard Ayumi and want something a little different, no more, no less, just a change, go Utada Hikaru. Do it. Do it now. You have no chance to surive make your time!
Now, for sleep! Maybe. Maybe I'll stay here all night, listening to J-pop. Tommorrow, besides work, I know what I'll be doing. Listening to that other CD I burned from Aki. And thinking hard. Really hard about a J-mix of my own.

Name: Paul Date: Sunday, August 4, 2002 Time: 02:51 a.m.
Oh, and to you, a rant!
Ferquency is a great game. And, for thoose of you who've done it, it can be compared to playing DDR, with the arrow keys on a keyboard. But NOT with playing with your feat. Then, DDR is a tottaly different game. Why? Your fingers use much less energy, require much less training, don't have to move as far, and are more commanly used with video games. Your feet in DDR are needed to be just as presice as your fingers, but also, they require more energy, more training (Since we use them less for acurate hitting(Unless you take karate.)) and they must move much further distances than your fingers need to. So, it is a much bigger challenge to use your feet. Oh, and to answear your question, yes, there was 3 arrow DDR (Only up, right, and left. (Notice, you use O, square, and triangle on the PSX pad, which correspond on the D-pad to up, left, and right...)(Ferquncy came out after 4th mix...)(Hint: RIP-OFF!)) but it was an unlockable 4th mix mode, and never became popular. Also, DDR songs are noticably shorter, because they didn't want it too hard.
So, that's what I say to you Gib! Hah!
Since you like Ferquncy so much, go get beatmania (A konami bemani like ddr, execpt you use an 8(?) button pad(not a dance pad, but a pad pad) to play)

And finally, on the girl/guy topic, I must say girls are far superior to guys in a few important areas. Mainly, they just look nice. I am glad I am a straight guy, and if I was a female I can say with some degree of confidence that I'd be a lesbian. Cause face it guys, we ugly.
My one complaint about females, though. Most seem to read way too much into simple statements. A guy says what he means, a girl searches for the "hidden meaning". Drives me nuts. Ah well- they're worth it.

Oh, happy b-day Matt.
Ok, also, help me out, I'm looking for song titles/artists for 2 songs, only know some lyrics, soooooo, here goes:
"and it bears repeating" Lots of fast guitar in this one. I've heard it played in Robbie's car, and on the radio tonite, or yesterday, on the way home from work with Bryan and Nick.
"Life's like this..." Really good beat, IMHO. I've only hear it once, on the same trip back from work as the last song, and hearing the only lyrics I know again and again is driving me nuts.
And without song names and/or artists names, then I can't download the song, and I can't cure my curse! HELP!

Ken, all the luck to ya, if you decide to go with it. My idea was a javascript that exucuted on every entry, and checked what was in the url box, (var = "%url%"; If var=="paul" {backg="#00FF00";};) then set a varible to the background color, made a table with the background of the single cell the color, and the the entry, and a close table tag. It'd be a little off, having a javascript every 20 or so lines but... it'd work.
Other than that, anyone got any ideas for us 2 coders to do on this site? Other than, designing a new theme. Because if you say that, well, what do I love, that has 3 capitol letters. (Hint:DDR) Yup. Imagine THAT as a theme. Be careful what you wish for.

But, on the brighter side, I'm getting in shape. Or at least some sort of shape. I'm not sure what shape I was in before but now I think I'm in some sort of shape. Maybe ovular. That sounded bad.

i really like the topics you guys ahve up here. is there any way to start a new one running? should i just say something?
like: what is the thing that annoys you most about women?
i think it's just the fact that i really just can't stand them. ever since girlfriend number 2 sent me into the dumpster after seven months i've been pretty much like. fuck women! who needs them! so now i'm rich and stay at home at night. but hey, since i'm on a vacation who cares?

Oh, and amazingly, Robbie sent in his picture already. I am simply stunned. Why? Because that means someone else reads this page other than me at this time of night. I'm already thinking of ideas for personalized background colors. I guess since we lost Ian I'm doing code. No, it's not officail, and if anyone wants to do anything, feel free, just don't break anything, or most of anything. But slowly and surely, I'll be adding things, taking things, changing things. But I'm not some sort of codemaster. And I don't wanna hear any crap about how my code sucks, if you think you can do better, feel free to show me up.

One of the things I can do for you lazy people is make one for you if you would like. I could easly photoshop a picture for anyone who wishs not to make their own. Just send me an e-mail ( mrman_weekly@hotmail.com )and i can get it up in a day or two.

So it’s officially Wednesday and no one else has been nominated. Does that make me the winner? Or did you mean next Wednesday? It's ok if you meant next Wednesday because if I'm not what the people want then I shouldn't be voted in. BUT, if you guys are too lazy to nominate someone else then you're stuck with me, like it or not. Muuaahaha! But I don't know if you meant this Wednesday or the next one. Please clear it up for me Paul.
I'm so screwed up from the movie Paul gave me. If you haven't seen Perfect Blue, DON'T. It’s an awesome movie, the animation is great, and the plot is unbelievable. But it will screw you up. And not in a good way. It won't screw you up like Fight Club, or Requiem for a Dream. Those movies enlighten you. They made you feel kinda eerie but at the same time more intelligent or at least a bit wiser. Perfect Blue will just fuck with you. You'll be watching it and then suddenly you'll get this revelation of who did it, and then ten minutes later you have another revelation that it has to be something else. Repeat 10 times and you have the last half of the movie. You won't know which way is up after you watch it.
I want to watch it again, but this time not alone. Who wants to watch it with me?
That’s all for now, I suppose. Except I'd like to say that I can't wait to start working at Target. It seems like a really nice place to work and the job is easy enough that it seems like I wouldn't mind coming into work everyday. I had my orientation today and I don't start actual work until Sunday. I can't wait. I especially can't wait till I pick up that fat check at the end of the week. wooo whooo!

Am I actually some fat lady that thinks I'm Robbie, or am I really Robbie? Is my disease that I think I'm me when I'm really someone else? Why did I do that porn shoot a month ago? (Don’t worry, if you haven't seen the movie you aren't suppose to get it)
Any way...
In recent news, Robbie doesn’t understand. That would be the headline for the Potential! News if we had one, which isn't a bad idea by the way....
Any way, I’m not sure what to do now. I mean, am I nominated, can I nominate myself, can I be the only nominee, or do I have to be a socialist and have Rambo run with me to be nominated.....?
OK, I think I have it. I would now like to re-nominate myself for the position of PNTL! Nazi Leader. If you want to know why you'll have to scroll down a ways and read my last post. What, are you too lazy? You can't scroll down? You want me to repeat it? Well too bad, I'm too lazy.
O, and just so I'm not rude, and so I can score another vote for team Robbie, I would like to formally welcome Gib to the squad. O, and you don't have to put the URL for future reference.

There was this thing in my email inbox. Matchmaker, Somebody like you! I had nothing better to do so I followed the link. You fill out some retarded info and it asks for you to give them email addresses to guess who your admirer is. They coax you along with clues for every five email adresses you give them.
Well, my first attempt was just thinking that I would use every email address I knew. Whats the harm. But theb i found that they just send these things to the addresses you give them, completely anonymously. So, Id sent these to guys and girls and family. So I quickly sent emails explaining the skam. It slowly dawned on my I may have recieved the mail in a simular fashion. Someone with no real interest in me just messing with it.
I was slightly down trodden, but i saw a glimmer of hope. I decided to create as many fake email adresses as it took to get all the clues and in the end find out who emialed it to me. I figured if I send enough names it will eventually just tell me. So, every five addresses gives you two clues. There couldnt be more than 4 sets of clues, I knew cause I had answered the sane questions registering. So I created 20 fake yahoo adresses.
Well, I read all the useless clues and got to the end. It says, "so close, keep trying!" What a rip, the only way to find the person is if you guess them!
SO, more intregued and infuriated I wanted to see what happens. So i used my dummy emails to respond, knowing who had sent it ofcoure(myself) and I did it and it still asks for me emials. Even when i answer correctly. Im just waiting to see if it even really works. Its the hugest skam ever.
In real world relevance, this girl i have never met gave me her phone #. Her father works with my father, and she wants to meet me. I was kinda nervous at first, just calling a strange number. And my Dad said her saw a photo of her and she isnt just pretty, but from the way he said it, out of my league pretty.
Well, that was like thurday or so. Today my dad hands me a slip of paper with girly handwriting with a squiggle. "Laurie's e-mail: the address and a fancy little thing at the bottom."
I emailed her, cause its less comital than the phone or actually meeting. Im waiting for her to email me back. I told her I wasnt working friday, so we may meet then.
Im just worried she will get her hopes and have them dashed to pieces when she meets me. Its like being set up by our fathers, but for some reason she is the one intersted in meeting me. Did they lie to her? Did they lie to me? There must be a catch. There are more intricate details to how all this started I may give later. Depending on what happens. If we hit it off, Ill probably be impossible to shut up, if it bites hard I maybe bitter, but will most likely be mad and relate the whole tale so you will feel bad for me.

If you never really wanted to go in the first place, you should have just fucking told me. The past week, no one has told me shit about if theyre going or not, I recently heard that a couple more people that I had no intention of inviting were going, cars had hit deer (Im not mad at that, it just makes me have to find different transportation options), and I feel like no one has really wanted to go in the first place. If you never felt like going in the first place, you should have told me so I didnt have to go through all the trouble of having plans ruined over and over and over and fixing said plans over and over and over and generally killing myself to do it. I dont appreciate it when people shit on me, especially when its the week of my birthday and Im supposed to be relaxing.
So fuck it. If someone else wants to plan whatever goes on on Wendesday and the beach, you go ahead and do it. Im tired of this shit.
And I dont want to run for anything for Potential. Im just the guy who sits in the shadows, makes random quips, and then bursts out in furious rages every once in a while. I can stay that way.

I have no clue what I'm talking about. At all. Its way too early for me today. And I'm hungry, I think I'll go make some Mac and Cheese, Spongebob Squarepants style. Oh that reminds me, EasyMac (or FastMac, as the generic brand is known) is the DEVIL! Don't eat it! It betrays all of our childhood memories of Mac and Cheese. It just plain shouldn't be allowed. I will eat the NORMAL, DISTINCTLY TASTY Mac and Cheese that involves cooking, drink powerade, and watch Crouchng Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Yup. Sounds good. Be back later at some point.

I've heard stuff like "Do we NEED a leader?" to "Couldn't we go board of directer style?" or "What about a partnership?"
I thought about it, and decided that we all need to know what it is Ian did/does. Feel free to add to this list.
1. Site Maintance - Means to keep the code of the site in order.
2. Add 'new' things into the mix - Basicly to keep hurling new inventions or ideas out at us. Everything from merchandise to personalized entries goes in here. But also to do the things, provided everyone supportted it.
3. Set/Add/Remove/Alter Ground rules that may or may not be bent/broken - This rule such as "Do not tell people not to listen to other people" is one of the unbreakables, but the rule "Don't post 'Come over, it's a party' messages" are bent/broken on a daily basis. Our leader is responsible for the rules, and thier proper enforcement.
4. Change the password on occasion - This forces us to re-submitt all our info to the leader, but it is for security. The leader would have to let everyone know the new password once they 're-join.'
5. Admit new members - The leader would decide what a new member needs to do to join, if they need bios, images, a color, etc.
I think I got it all, if I missed anything, don't be afraid to post it. My point is, whatever we decide our leadership should be, single, partner, board of PNTL! or socailist, then it should be able to provide us with the listed things, and/or more.
So, I'm making an alteration to my nomenations post. On Wed. all nomenations must be made. The nomenations can include yourself, or any number of people. (So you could nominate Rambo and Robbie as a partnership. You could also nominate Yourself, Burynea, and Sarah.) Also, you may nominate Socalist, which gives everyone the same degree of power, and responsiblity. Every member may make 1 and only 1 nomination, with the execption of Robbie, who is allowed to re-do his nomination this once, if need-be. Every group/person nominated will be listed on Thurs. Voteing will begin when the list is posted. On Sunday, voteing will end, and the results posted Monday. You may abstain from voting, but we do not have many members, and I suggest you do vote. You cannot nominate myself or Ian for obvious reasons.
I think I covered it all. Oh, this may change at any time, and I'll post all admenments.

What? Ian you're leaving!?! Oh Well. I'm sure that we'll be fine without you.
Hmmmm...to run or not to run?, that is the question. Well, let's see...I know HTML (as well as CSS, Javascript and DHTML for that matter), have any tools necessary to run this beast, have the space to host the images...but would I want to take the time and effort to run this place??? I'm not quite sure. I don't know if I want to be president, but I think that as long as I can contribute any ideas and/or images, code or anything else needed I will be fine right where I am. I warn you though, this is not a final decision...I'll post again later...
Until then, go Robbie.
P.S. - I don't like those bowling shirts too much --- I can [and want to] make some t-shirts --- i'll bring it up with whoever is next prez.
Name: Ian is the end Date: Sunday, July 28, 2002 Time: 03:00 p.m.
Time to clear up some questions or misconceptions about Potential!
Is the web site called PNTL!? Or is it just Potential?
Actually it’s Potential! always capitalized, always with an exclamation point. The correct abbreviation however is Pntl!
What is Potential! exactly?
A multiple user weblog. Updated semi-daily.
No, I mean what is Potential! about? What can I find on there?
My best answer to this question was "I don’t honestly know."
When did Potential! start?
January 6th 2002. I had the idea for like three days before that.
How did you come up with the name?
I was going to make a web site for multiple users known as "Potential Ink" I then shortened the name and made it into a multi-user weblog. Plus I added an exclamation point for general silliness.
What is "The War Party?"
The staff of Potential! it’s kind of a name for all of them. I came up with it along with the "Potential Ink" idea above. I just liked the name so much despite how horribly it clashes with some of the designs.
Who were the original War Party members?
Myself (Ian Carlsen), Jonathan Pelham, Ryan Foltz, Matt Joyce, and Sarah Hevey. About three days later we welcomed Martin Cuddy onboard. So he is considered to be one as well.
What about some of the others?
Nick Rountree and Jekka Cormier were the only ones accepted a while after that. Someone named Justin Levesque posted once after that but wasn’t really a "member" until later. Everyone else joined up around the "Super-Heroes" to "PNTL!" theme switch.
Lola Winston, Uta Rex, WTF?
Sarah Hevey folks. Under an alias. I agreed to let her go under a different name for a while. I told no one.
What have been the themes so far? What are the influences?
The first theme was a spin off on the design on a CD I borrowed from a friend. The cd had blue and yellow and had bananas on the front. I used the blue and yellow. No bananas. The second came from another CD design this time however I altered the colors a bit and used a nice tan. The Potential! Radio thing was just some shtick I thought up and kept. Really themes are that easy. SUPER-HEROES however was not influenced by any previous design and just came about when my friends started talking about they’re favorite super heroes. So I made the design kind of look like a newspaper with all the black and white. I also wanted to make a new bio section with alter egos for each member of the War Party but that didn’t get off the ground though. Somewhere in the future I hope that someone will end up taking that idea and actually pulling it off. PNTL! came from me fiddling around with Photoshop and playing with the background that Apple Computers uses a lot for their web sites. I liked the orange a lot however this was a design that didn’t go over too well with some people.
What’s it like running one of these things?
Like keeping a pencil on a wide, flat, level, surface that has adhesive spread all over it. It’s easy. All I did is come up with a new theme every now and then and click a few buttons.
Why are you leaving?
Well I’m not leaving per-se but I am resigning. I just have found other things to put effort into. Like the Thought of the Day Club. I’ll still have a special place in my heart for my first ever group weblog. And unlike our rivals Team FUN! We’re still going strong even after I’m pulling out. Here’s to Potential!
You stole this idea from Team FUN! didn’t you?
Hey! They wouldn’t let me on their team so I made up my own. Fair’s fair. And that’s the real reason I put that exclamation point on the end of Potential!
Well that's done. Potential! is now up to whomever wins.
Oh and I'm hoping the new Prez will be able to host the iamges etc from somewhere other than my site. because they won't be able to change all the stuff because they lack a password.
Name: Ian Date: Sunday, July 28, 2002 Time: 10:57 a.m.
I nominate Paul for neutral party in the running of the elections.
Mind you my last work for Potential! is to create a brief site history up to this date and concluding with the election of the new Potential! President. Time for me to start dragging out the archives and start making allusions to obscure past posters on this site.
Oh, well go Robbie.

Yes, thats correct folks. I want to be your new Potential Leader. I won't take dirty forgien money, I won't take a BJ under the desk (unless someone offers), and I won't make any unwanted changes to the site. What I will do though is be a big lazy slob that doesn't actualy check the site that often. I mean hey, it worked for Ian. But all kidding aside, I think I would make a great site leader. I know HTML, I own a wed design program, I visit the site almost three times everyday, and I want to set up a Potential Store that will sell shirts (look) and maybe more some day. Who can do better than that? No one. Thank you for your time.
Wait a tick, can I nominate myself? O well, just did.

Name: Paul Date: Sunday, July 28, 2002 Time: 12:07 a.m.
I think we should go about this by nomination, and voting on the nominated. The elected nominee can then turn down thier leadership to the second most voted, and so on. The votes should be submitted in secert, while the nominations should be made public.
If everyone's ok with it, I would like to abstain from all nominations, and take charge of the voting process. This way, I'll act as a neutral party. Unless someone has a better suggestion, I think we should start nominations. A chicken without a head can only run for so long.

I've almost finshed Morrowind. That is to say, I did the main quest, and killed Vivec. But I reloaded after I killed him, since I failed to capture his soul. Oh, and I want to kill some guy named "The Dark Servant" whose stronger than the reputable Vivec. I've got to see if he is still in the game world after the main quest so I can kill him. Oh, and I want to create a new character, and start all over again. So, if by almost, I mean, just started, then yes, I'm almost done with the game.

Two, my color. I choose the luscious Dark Azure-Cyan; #006699
Also, I had a very enjoyable evening. I hope you all did as well. Miscommunication is a common thing among us, so no one should be surprised. Also, travel arrangements were definely bodged, so dont feel wronged. We had a good evening, good fun, good company. It was relaxing for me and just a general good time.
I got stuff on my mind, I was dancing to border on sharing, but I think Ill keep it too myself and let the insane urges to share details on my depressing internal workings pass. Whenever Im calm and content I think more and then things kinda make me want to type/talk/communicate things like emotion and stuff. But at least for the time being i surpress that urge. Just wouldnt be prudent, too tough a crowd.
Anyway, im just in a strangely calm mood. Contentment is good. So, I leave you, calm, content and thinking about stuff.

Untitled
In my room a wisp appears, slowly, curling towards the ceiling, smoke, drifting in the stagnant air currents of my room. I’ve been dead a week now, it’s a strange feeling really, to be dead of your own free will and not really mind. I say my own free will, but it wasn’t suicide, it was some stupid choices I made. My parents died a month ago, sounds cliché I know, but bare with me, the blood and guts is coming up. I suppose you wonder how my parents died and I’ll tell you. A man drove a plane, into the, Chrysler building… not really, just a song I used to listen to. It was a plane crash, but it was just bad weather, not suicidal pilots. Go figure, my parents killed by wind. Is there a more ignoble way to die? Maybe dying with your pants down, but even then, at least it might have been fun. So, my parents are dead, what’s a guy to do? Me, I didn’t do anything, not for myself, I had to make sure my sister was ok, she was much closer to them. I’d pulled some self-righteous bullshit before college, “my life, you don’t understand, it’s art… blah blah blah” Gag me with a goth’s diary, you know? So anyway, we didn’t talk, until they decided to fly in for my wedding… just kidding, but wouldn’t that have been great, parents flying to make reparations with estranged son die in freak accident… isn’t it ironic? What a shitty song, anyway, my parents are coming to see me, yes for reparations, but mostly to finalize their last will and testament… psyche!, god you’re easy to mess with. No, they were just coming to visit, maybe start talking more, do some of my laundry, the usual parent things. So a gust of wind kills my parents, and I’m left to make sure my sister doesn’t flip out and go ape-shit and kill herself, go figure? It was great, we were talking about how much we loved them and we were almost a real family, except for the dead parents’ part. So I make sure she’s fine, leave her with her roommates who promise to take care of her and head home. I’m sitting in the bathtub, just sort of trying to relax when the bulb in the bathroom burns out and instead of getting out of the tub, I sit, in the dark, by myself, and cry. That’s right, yours truly, crying like a little baby, just cause the people who raised me are dead. When I stop crying, I sleep, in the tub, with the lights off, oooh your thinking “He’s crazy and Suicidal!” not really, I was just tired, of everything. I took a week of personal days from work, and tried to get my shit together, plan a memorial for my parents, that sort of thing. I think the real problem was I didn’t get to say goodbye, no remains, nothing. My parents vaporized bits in a field, probably fertilizing next years corn by now. Fitting I suppose, I think dad would have wanted it that way. He was a little strange sometimes. I digress, so I’m getting my stuff together, talking to my friends a lot, no inkling of what’s gonna happen next week, just sort of talking with people. Then, the best thing happens, I bump into “her”, you know the one, that girl you’ve always sort of had a thing for, but it never really worked. I see her and it all sort of comes out in a rush, my parents are dead, no bodies, I’ve always had a thing, maybe want to grab a coffee? This is the best part, she tells me to fuck off, I’m “creepy and morbidly obsessed with death” was how she put it. It hits me, “screw it”, it becomes my mantra for the next three days, you know, the phrase you live by, a mantra? Anyway, I just talk to people, say what I want to say and tell anyone I don’t like to leave, I insult people left and right, and it feels great. If society doesn’t want to play by my rules, where the sad guy whose parents just died doesn’t get the girl, then society can kiss my ass. To paraphrase, I went ape-shit, just what I tried to stop my sister from doing. I start saying what is in my head, I tell no less than five women in one day that they have a “great rack” I receive four slaps and one hour of mad monkey sex. Go figure. So I’m living my life up, my parents are dead, I’m on a bender and my life is unbeknownst to me, rapidly ticking away. I decide to start drinking again, I had stopped, just because I couldn’t afford it any longer, but what the hell, what’s the phrase of the day? That’s right “Screw it!” so I start drinking. I may be drunk but I’m not stupid, so those of you who just bet my death involved a car accident, you lose, suckers. I call up all my old friends, the one’s I used to hang with constantly, before I became an asshole. None of them are available, see, no feel good touching reunions either, man, this is great. So I drink, and drink, and drink some more. Before I know it, and I don’t, I’m living the last day of my life. It’s a great day, the sky is normal, not overcast, or exceedingly beautiful, just a normal day for a man to die. So I go through my day, I buy some vegetables at the corner stand, and generally fuck around. I have a pleasant day, spend some time in the park, and watch children play with a wistful look in my eye… and all that other bullshit you expect. Not really, I didn’t go to any park, I went to a restaurant for lunch, had a sandwich, a really great turkey and bacon on a kaiser roll with some crisp romaine lettuce and some tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Not bad for a last meal I suppose, not great, if I had chosen my last meal, it would be something that would give me a heart attack before I was supposed to die. It’d be funny, “Death Row Inmate dies of Cardiac Arrest In Lethal Injection Chair, Film at 11:00” So I go to a bar, drink a little and go home to sleep, and you know what my stupid choice was? I intentionally left the door unlocked in case I wanted to go bar hopping after my nap and was hungover. A junkie broke into my house, well in all fairness he opened the door and walked in, knifed me and ransacked the place for money for a fix. A week later, smoke does appear, a cigarette the investigating officer is smoking is smoking up my interior, damn it, now I’ll never get the deposit on the curtains back. Oh well, I’m dead, and it’s nice to have light in my bathroom when I want it, in a metaphorical sense of course.

But instead, it's getting good rep. like this. Kinda wierd, DDR starts droping in Japan (Down to 16th from 1st in Music games genere) but starts gaining in America! Woohoo! Yeah! Now I'm gonna play!

I'm working, yep a 6 day week. Today was sopposed to be my day off, but this dumb kid wanted to go to some thing and I want the money so i covered for him this morning. Its all about the cash-money. I want, no need, to get my Neo-Geo. I'm about 1/2 way there. Im just really debating whether it is smart to liquidate my bank account so fast. Of course I will, but it still isnt a smart thing to do.

I besceeh ye, spirts of potential, for I requireth wisdom, on the mater of visons.
First, what do you consider a vison? Would you consider a sudden strike of insight a 'vision'? They both involve seeing, but are they the same to you? To me they are.
Second, if you had a vision, of either type (The Actual seeing of something that isn't there, and the sudden bloom of something that lets you see past all the obstacles that normally clutter the mind.) would you belive it? Would you think it divinely inspried, or what?
I ask all of you to respond.
Nice story Ryan B. Also, good writing. I found the quotes that descrided what you were thinking a little confusing, prehaps italics would better denote you thinking inside your head? Just a thought.
I've been puting my week off to absolutly no use whatsoever. Excpect for Morrowind. My character is now on the main quest, and I can kill nearly anything in one hit. Bah, no more about games.
Hehe, time for my story! Pure fiction.
It was only a game.
Jeff was there. So was Brad. And Jamie. I always had a thing for Jamie. We had our plans in place. Everything was set, the wager was made. At 12, is alot of money. Alot of money the four of us didn't have, which is why we played to win. Now we had to bare though the rest of the school day.
It was only a game.
After school we met once again, faces stressed with emotion. "You guys better show," Jeff said, point at me and my brother Brad, "Or there's no way we can win. We all know Brad's our guy." Brad's my brother, and he's really good at our game. We had yet to lose, and this out-of-town gang wasn't gonna change that. "Don't worry about me, I'll be there," said Jamie, who was starting to go. "Wait," I said alittle too loud, "Wait... we need to get a plan." "I got one," said Brad in return, "I play, you watch, we win." Jeff agreed, "O.K. I don't mind. Now, remember, we start at ten," and he left. Jamie left as well, and Brad and I walked home, with me contemplating tonite's event.
The game was simple. What went wrong?
Brad shook me awake with a "Shhhh!" He opened the window, and I quietly got out of bed. It was a regular night, jut like every other night we had played. But the now the stakes were higher. Much higher than we thought possible. Brad was just a year older than me, but he looked 4 years older. As we climbed down to the lawn, trying not to wake anyone, I noticed how fast he was. We can't lose. We can't. We made our way across the darken town, to the regular place, meeting in the bushes next to the highway. Our competitors weren't there yet, but our referee was. Jhon was our referee. He was watching the cars fly by, and jumped when we nudged him. Even at this hour, cars flew by, toward, toward the city.
Why? It was an oh so simple game.
What seemed like an eternity later, they finnally showed. The other team was a group of 4 like us, but the seemed the richer type. Our confidance restored, we huddled near Jhon, as he anouced the rules, "Ok, it's simple. One team member goes to the tree on the other side of the highway. Then, they take a rock and-" One of the other kids interupted, "We know'm already, let's do this." Jhon then said, "Ok, ok, everyone, you have ten seconds. 10-" Brad and on of the other kids ran up to the highway, "-9-", Jamie and Jeff running to my left and right, "-8-7-" and I turned to my oppenent on the other team, "-6-5-4-3" I glaced at Brad, watching him tense, and "-2-NOW!" release. Brad sprinted past the other team's runner. We cheered, he was winning.
The car made no noise, except a thud when Brad's body was carried over it's windshield, rolling off the top and toward the road, which was followed by brakes scrreching, and then. Silince. My shock that my brother had been killed infront of me droned out all other noise.

Granted, there usually isn't much that's funny about death; but I think it's easier to laugh at your own death than anyone else's.
It doesn't even have to be that funny, really; I could dig an ironic death. Say, if I somehow died of athlete's foot. You can bet I'd think that would be funny.
So, if I'm ever dead and you need to say something tasteful, if it was a humorous departure you can always say, "We can take comfort in the fact that if Ryan were here, he'd really get a kick out of this."
That's all I have to say, I guess. And I figured out my e-mail: Ryan dot Foltz @ nsc dot com . Send me something when I'm working. It livens things up.

Ryan I got your book and will drop it off sometime soon. I wont pretend i understood it all, but it was definetly a good read. But after reading it for a few hours my head would start to hurt so i had to take it in small doses. I still have trouble with the whole "light is a particle and light is a wave, because we say so" thing. But, the real reason Im posting is this story kinda popped into my head and I think its funny and I hope you do too. Its part fiction, part fact and includes several different funny things in one story that as a whole is fiction. So, here it goes...
Well, we were all gathered on the deck cafe. All being the few teenagers I came camping with and about 6-7 other teens that we had met at the campground. They were more than content to sit and talk to pass the time as these afternoon thunder showers came by. These people were mediocre company to say the least. I had only met these new people the night before and the whole group had really taken to each other. I didnt mind them, but they werent anything special. Swimming today, I had gotten to know them more. It had been fun, especially seeing that young girl Veronica in a bikini. Yeah, she was only 15, but she sure didnt look it. To keep my sanity I cracked open a book. Slightly ironic and stupidly I had packed a book on quantum physics I had borrowed from a friend. I began to read and although I didnt really get completely immersed in the thing, it helped to get my mind off the stuff around me. Then she sat her slender body next to me in the booth. I tried not to notice. She put her arm gently around my neck and began reading over my shoulder. I looked at her and cracked a smile. She looked back at me and flashed those beautiful white teeth. I looked into her eyes, almost by accident, and was left in a trance. I grinned stupidly.
"What are you reading?"
I closed the book and placed it aside. Then I just started to lean back a bit. Her arm slid down to a position in the small of my back; sort of around my waist. She moved closer and kinda nudged my arm around her shoulders. She looked up at me, still waiting for an answer.
"Well, its just some book on quantum mechanics. Im borrowing it from a friend. Nothing exciting, physics and stuff."
She picked up the book and looked at the cover. She had a puzzled expression on her face. I didnt want to seem too smart. Smart is uncool and I gotta be the smooth operator.
She put down the book and looked back at me. I melted as she smiled again.
"So, you work on cars? What kinda cars do you like?" Now, I felt puzzled and confused. 'What is she talking about?' Then is occurs to me, 'mechanics'. 'What can I say?'
"Yeah, I love working on cars. I really like sports cars, like porches."
So, I lied. I told her I like cars and work on them. And that my father owns a porche and thats what got me interested. She will never know its not true...
Yeah, well parts of that are true like I said. There was a Veronica at the campground and she did sit with me like described, but the book wasnt involved. Another time though, a girl did ask me about the cars, but I didnt say yeah, im a mechanic; i went out of my way to make her feel dumb(not really on the make her feel dumb thing either. it just sounded good).
well, once again I've written too much about nothing.

Oh, and Ryan B., I do not like the idea of sending it to random people. It's thoughts like that that started telemarketing. I'm all for Ian's way of thinking, which is, let them wander in, if the like it, let them sign up to get a notice that it was updated. It's not a bad idea Ryan B., but I personally think that anything that was sent by someone I don't know is spam, I never even open it.
Also, incase you don't know, as of yesterday, I'm grounded for a week.("Grounded, gr-ow-did, adj, state of being, A state in which a young child or adult can not leave the home unless the reason for leaving inculdes Family members, school, or work.

The prospect of starting my own webzine has started up. I'm saving the title for last but I think I have a focus.
A fairly odd magazine with some bits of writing. Essays, maybe a freewrite, poetry (Good poetry) all made by peopel I know or can contact. Throw in a photography section an "intersting link" section maybe a few collumns of incoherent rubish and two reviews of something (Music, Game, Movie, etc.) And that's it.
It'll be a hell of alot more productive for me than a weblog.
WHo wouldn't mind getting that in their Inbox every other month or sooner?
C'mon give thoughts people.

#1 - The Powerpuff Girls Movie - Okay. I didnt see this willfully... I went along for a couple reasons: I could hang out with my friends, I could make fun of the movie, and I see Reign of Fire afterwards.
Maybe its because Ive never watched the show before and I really couldnt appreciate the humor. Or, maybe this was just a bad movie. I think it might be the latter.
Of course, I tend not to be a fan of cartoons transformed into movies: Rugrats should never have been a movie. This should have never been a movie. PPgirls need to stay on the small screen - I have a feeling they look better there.
Story (short version) - Between all the frantic, spastic, constant running-around, destroying-the-city, playing-tag, learning-in-kindergarten, ripping-through-buildings, decimating-streets and other random things for 2-day old synthetically-created girls to do, some crazy scientist tried to make little girls out of “sugar and spice and everything nice”. Somehow, his mixture is contaminated with that dreaded Chemical X!! (say it in that Lost! In! Sppaaaaaaaaaaace!!! voice), and he creates three little girls with superpowers, and one evil monkey with a huge brain sticking out of his head like a sweaty peeled mango. In school they learn the game of tag, destroy the city, become hated by the population, help the evil monkey MojoJojo, create an evil science lab, help MojoJojo get his army, go to school again, watch MojoJojo attack the city with his army, and then go to the moon. Now, make that all frantic with purdy colors following them and lots of violence and sexual innuendos (which theres more in the show than in the movie, I hear), and you have the movie.
Now, Im wondering how thats entertaining to someone who likes a darker animation, like Spawn, for example.
So, basically, I can run it down to the pros and cons real quick for this one.
Pros! - I laughed a bit. Several witty puns, especially the “get yer damn paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” line from the original Planet of the Apes. Many other things stolen from that. King-kong scenes executed quite cleverly. Uh... enough entertainment for younger kids and older kids alike. Even adults. Woo.
Cons! - Again, this might be related to the fact that Ive never seen the show so I cant really appreciate the movie... but this plot sucked. If it wasnt for the amazing mimicry by Sarah, I would have hated Bubbles’ little fucking annoying laugh even more. Buttercup was cool - she was bitchy... MojoJojo was mildly cool, but thats mainly because I have a fondness for the villain. Other than that, the characters were annoying, usually unfunny, and sometimes shallow - but I can just scratch shallow, as its a kids cartoon. Still, there were only a few things I laughed at, and that just brings down the rating even more. I actually tried to go into this with an open mind and I was seriously disappointed.
Rating: **/10
#2 - Reign of Fire - This was definitely a movie Im still debating over in my head. Some parts really really impressed me, while some just made me want to slam around in anger at the sheer stupidity.
Story (short version) - London, somewhere near 2008. 12-year old Quinn goes to see Mum down in the tunnels where her and her team are digging - they accidentally wake up some dormant dragons who proceed to lay waste to humanity... oh, and these dragons were also the real demise of the dinosaurs, by the way. Human weapons only help the dragons out by destroying the world for them, and they dont stop eating humans until theyre all gone. Quinn’s mother dies. Quinn is obviously mad. Flash-forward 20 years or so - Quinn is grown up, leads a small community of stragglers trying to make it on their own. They live in an old abandoned castle, apparently fight other straggler clans, plant food ways off and harvest it in times when the dragons arent around and try to make every day go by without a hitch. Here comes Van Dan (or something manly like that), this macho-muthafucka-Army man who dont-take-no-shit-for-an-answer attitude and tattooed muscles make him look like a buffed heavy-metal version of the sweaty guy down at the gym. Hes apparently a “dragon slayer” and has some witty way of killing the dragons for good. Hijinks ensue.
First of all, this movie has fantastic cinematography and great directing.... but its a tad lacking on the editing side. Some of the scenes seem awkward, as they dont have a direct connection with any of the recent happenings in the movie, or they make no sense. Still, some of the camera work was amazing. The first scene, with the beginning credits rolling along, is just tear-jerkingly appealing to the eye, and the scene where the dragon first appears and is coming up the elevator shaft is simply electrifying. The freefalling scenes were very well-done. Special effects? Hell yes - major thumbs-up. Only a couple things, like the pictures of dragons destroying major landmarks (Big Ben, Paris and the Tower), had a flub - some you could see the dragon through the landmark when they were supposed to be behind the structure. Still, very high quality.
Yet, with the good, must come the bad: the script. Bluntly, it was just plain awful in some parts. Dialogue was forced or just plain stupid, or some of the plot transitions were just goddamn dumb (hey guys, lets take only the three main characters, two crossbows, two rifles, some explosive arrows, a big axe, and our big egos, and go hunt us some dragons! Weeee-hoooo!). A lot of it makes me wonder exactly how much of the film was on the cutting room floor. With a bit of tinkering and a lot of polish, and maybe a good solid rewrite of some parts, the script could have been refined into something more enjoyable and racked up more points... but it just left so many parts lacking and lusting after more. A lot of the characters seemed shallow and left out (again, cutting room floor); but, there were some good merits to go along with the script. Quinn and his ragtags definitely get the point across on how bad life is these days in futuristic London. The shape of the people definitely shows their desperation, and was a good power of the movie.
What I want to know: how did these futuristic Londoners, in all their ruin and peril and chaos, find time to apply lipstick and quaff their hair after every fight/battle/situation/explosion?
Also, I know Matthew McConaughey is a good actor... but he doesnt fit well as the All-American fighter-with-a-bad-beard. He stands all the time in the movie, toting a shotgun or a fucking humungous spear gun, chewing on his cigar butt and flexing his pecs, going “Ive got a shotgun. I fucked Jennifer Lopez. I look sexier than you with this scraggly beard. Fuck you!”, and the southern accent doesnt help one bit. I can see him in any other role, other than the gung-ho! “dragon slayer”.
Christian Bale did a nice job, and I found his character the only character that was worth saving in the movie. He didnt try to play hero at all, and if he did, he did it naturally and stealthily and I didnt notice. All the other people (other than his friend there, I dont remember his name) can get eaten. Fuck em’.
And who picked actors with British accents thicker than McConaugheys nasty beard?
Pros - Nice special effects. Nice camera, nice directing. Some interesting plot ideas amiss the completely ridiculous ones. Lots of fire (duh), lots of explosions, lots of death. I was really digging the apocalyptic view of the world, especially on the armies trek to London. London looks cool when its all blown up, too.
Cons - Pitiful script. Stupid stupid stupid plot twists and transmissions. Bad and not-likable characters, especially Van Dan. Too much film on the cutting room floor. Not enough gunplay and characterization. Too much of one local (the castle) and not enough of another (the rest of England, or the world, for that matter). Some bad sound quality in some parts.
So, we come down to a quite enjoyable summer explosion-filled movie to go see if youve got nothing else to do. If you can understand the words, or even stomach them.

Im not exactly a fan. He led his nation against the Nazis after they pants him, by breaking a treaty of some sort(A Hitler Phrase: Just a Piece of Paper). So, he sided with the "badguy" until he got attacked. Then he joined the allies. We didnt like him much either. Something about mass graves and cleansing the gene pool. Hmm... sounds pretty familiar to me. Yeah, the Soviets "Elite Troopers" were actually a bunch of WWI relics, they rode horses, carried cap and ball pistols and their primary weapon was a calvary sword. Their intensive training throught the 1930s when there was no one to fight included the slaughtering of at least as many Jews as Hilter killed, but they just raped, shot, stabbed them. Plus they also killed anyone else who looked a little funny. Not exactly my type of people
I think that my favorite leader of WWII would have to be Winston Churchhill. He was defending his own nation. Plus despite all his character flaws and how stubborn he could be(which is kinda a good thing for defending an island) he put the lives of his people first. He wasnt a fan of war and never went looking for a fight. He was a masterful tactician and above all he had perspective. He understood the fight, what his goals where and in the end, he looked back with a great understanding. He was a definite fighter for freedom. And among all you pacifist this is unpopular, but there are times for war.
Also, just wanted to say that Hitler was an awesome leader, but he was slightly askew of reality. If only someone could unite a people toward a good cause, to the benefit of all men. But them you realize that he lied and cheated his own people. Alot of their enthusiasm for his cause was only a show, cause if you didnt like it you died. And thats why i feel for the German people. And many of the older germans still feel guilty and ashamed of all that happened. Hitler controlled his own most trusted officers just by fear.
Just some junk I've been thinking about. Later.

O, I didn't realize I was posting. If feels like I've left for like an hour and you've posted 80 times and then archived it. I had to go back to read the 10 posts I missed while I was away. Where was I you ask? Good question. I'm not going to answer it. Sorry. Hey, you can make that sad face all you want but I'm not gonna tell you. All can tell you is that it had something to do with muffins. And that’s it. So there.
New top three list:
Top Three Sunday Morning TV Shows Of All Time
3......Reboot
Who remembers that show? Wasn't it great? I loved it. I couldn't get enough of it. It was just too good. I can't stand it! My head gonna explode!! ARG!
2......The Adventures of Link
I don't know if any of you ever saw this show but it was just like the game except cartoony, much like the Zelda to come out on the GC, except not cell shaded. Do you understand? I mean I realize that it only had like 5 different episodes but it was awesome. Or at least it was when I was young. Wait a sec, was that on the Super Mario Bros. show? Because if it was it would make that show the greatest show of all time. If not then #1 is still #1 but if the Link cartoon was on the Super Mario Bros. Saturday morning show then that would make the Super Mario Bros. show the best show ever.
1......X-Men
I use to set my alarm to wake up to watch this show. I actually gave up sleep to watch it. This was by far the best cartoon ever. It had it all, a compelling plot, action packed excitement, and some pretty hot chicks (as far as cartoons go). This show defiantly deserves and has the top spot on my list.And that’s all I have to say about that. I see you chaps later.
*poof*

Hmmmm...Bastille Day...that's right....I almost forgot about that...
I bet that you didn't know that today was also
- National Ice Cream Day
- National Nude Day (yes that says National Nude Day)
- African Community Day (in Senegal)
- Republic Day (in Iraq)
- or.....
- Appointment of the Prophet (in Iran)
You can find all of that and more here. OK, I think I'm going to get some sleep now...or maybe not...either way works for me.
P.S. Did any of you guys ever notice the drastic time differences in our clocks??? I mean, technically Rambo posted before Ian down below, yet his post isn't posted until 2 posts later....interesting....very interesting....

I love my friends.

I went and saw minority report. It was really great, but its definetly one of those movies I need to see again to kinda get everything. It was wierd though, cause I kept thinking it was over, Like " wow, It cant end like this...Wait its still going." ANd from my first such reaction it went on for another 30-40 mins with additional plot twists through out.
Also I just find the need to say that I MUST go see the movie Road to Perdition very soon. I feel it has something great to say. I dont know why.
Im done.
