Cobalt Crusader



Alrighty, let me catch you up on a few things that have been happening as of late. First off, I’ve been having this weird friend trade off situation going on. I keep losing one friend but gaining another one back. I lost Tasha, but now I have her back. I had Cait, but I ran her off AGAIN. I had Jasmine and ran her off, but got her back a few days ago. I had Danielle and ran her off and then got her back too! And now I have Trista and there’s no way I'm driving her away, but that’s none of your beeswax. Point is, I need more experience with this friend thing. But of course, I’ve always had this idea of true friends in my head and not many people around me meet the standards. I won’t name names because there’s no need too. I mean, who honestly cares? Moving on, I’ve also noticed that a few people I know are in better situations now than they were a few weeks or so ago. I won’t go into detail about that one though. Sorry. I’ve been doing well with my Algebra course. I don’t even mind that the work is really easy because honestly there are a lot of thing’s I’ve forgotten about algebra which is actually the reason why I have to take this course in the first place. I actually learned a few new things too. Just a few ways of writing things and what-not, nothing major. Got to make sure I know the college way of doing things. Um that’s about it. My game playing has stopped cold turkey and I’m back to spending days on the computer. Not such a bad thing though, I enjoy myself and that’s all that matters. Later.

For the short, and I do mean short, period of time that I was a co-writer for Cait's blog I actually picked up something that I really like. From now on I shall be writing at least 10 sentences with every post. Like Cait said, you gotta have some substance. No rinky dink one sentece things that i'm so good at. Well, now that i've got that in my head i'm pretty sure my blog will take a turn for the better. I can't believe i couldn't come up with such a simple idea on my own, but I suppose that's what Cait is there for. Alrighty, so let me think about what's been going on lately. Um, I have to announce that Trista is A-okay, just a little worse for wear. It makes me soo happy to know that she's doing well. YAY!

I think I might take another thing from Cait and put up all sorts of pictures that I like, just because I can do that sort of thing. I like video games, mostly because they contain awesome ideas. But more often than not I get hooked on the appearances of characters or monsters. That's how I usually come up with story ideas; I see a cool looking thingy and then I make it my own and warp it into whatever it is that I want. It's pretty easy to do when You have a great imagination like I do. It's my gift and I wont ever give it up. While I'm on the topic of video games, I have to remember to go to Janelle's house tomorrow to return her stuff back to her. I've always felt soo horible if I have to borrow someone else's stuff and I'm not able to return it. I still feel horrible about the $5 I owe Jared from Junior year. I swear though, if i ever see him again he's gonna get his money back. Even if he doesn't remember me. Call it an unforgetable unresolved issue I have. Oh, and I changed my name to Llama Hamster Knight because it fits me to a tee. Think about it.

Video Games

Alrighty, so I found this video and I have to say that it's really freaking cool. It's a long one but it's nice to see a grown man flip out so badly.

Iffyness

My dear wifey Caitlin thinks that I should be in Army of Blog. I think otherwise. I personally do not think that my writing would actually be good enough for such a group. I mean, just look at the sort of genius that they are able to spew forth. I could only dream of having as much talent as they do. Sooooo, as evidence of my horrific skill as a writer, I have put up a story that I wrote not too long ago. It's just a little short one so not much to read for ya.

A figure sits in a tree. He is all alone but he prefers it that way. He reaches out to one of the branches and plucks an apple from it. The apple looks dead and rotten, but that's how things are in this world. Everything that we think of as being good and pure are seen as evil and revolting there. That's just how things are for those that live in that world. The figure in the tree takes a bite of the rotten brown apple and stares at the town laying at the bottom of the hill. The town is littered with candles that look like a million pinpoints of light to the figure in the tree. A family of Jack o' lanterns fly by over head and into the distance. All is quiet except for the cacling of a far off raven. The figure in the tree finds the noise to be very relaxing as he settles comfortably on a branch. Slowly the murmur of a voice at the bottom of the hill grows louder and louder. The figure in the tree quickly becomes irritated as he realizes that the murmur is actually his nam e being called out in a fast and repetetive manner. To compound his irritation, the voice belonged to Patchy the Boy Pirate who had a habit of emphasizing the wrong syllables of words. So, tot he figure in the tree, it sounded like:
"na'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Illna'Ill"
The figure in the tree ,whose real name was Nale, didn't think badly of Patchy but rather hated having his peace disturbed so harshly. Patchy the Boy Pirate was small in stature but big on heart and even bigger on egotism. He is truly convinced that he can take over the world with his small wooden sword and his sewn together costume that his mother made for him. As soon as the cotton horns of Patchy's hat were visible, Nale hopped out of the tree and took a deep breath. When Patchy's face came over the hill Nale uttered only one word, "SHUDAP!" It was enough to bring patchy to silence. Nale and Patchy had a brief conversation after which Nale felw quicky back to town. Patchy had painted a picture of death and destruction happening within his house which had made Nale, the only hero around, to rush into action. When Nale finally reached Patchy's house he was greeted by nothing more than a common Wing Rat. Nale, being throughly agitated at this point, decides on a simple solution; he catches the winged rodent and drop kicks it to kingdom come. After this peaceful resolution to things Nale walks home, closes his door, and barracades it completely leaving poor ol' Patchy to think about what he had done.

I will eat your soul through your eyeballs, promise.

Hmm, I think this will be one of my train-of-thought posts, just because I like to sting off into oblivion. Where to start...

I was talking to Caity-Waity last night and I described to her several scenes out of a few books i've read. I'm pretty sure she LOVED the clown incident. We also ventured a little out into the realm of the nonsensical; my imaginary girlfriend being the focus of that lil convo. It was great talking to her and now I remember why I love her so much. Scorpios Unite! Anyway, i've been neglecting my math which is really not good considering we paid for the course and I really need it to actually be college worthy when the time comes. So, today being the 9th, I'm determined to get to the books. I've been writing again which is really great for me because I haven't done it in such a long time. Now all I can think about are more ideas so my head is swimming in it's own imagination. Oh, we also talked about Christina too. Well, more like I talked and she listened. Gosh do I miss my little fairie. Mmmm, enough with the memories. I've actually taken a liking to not being online as much. Something about it just seems weird now, kinda limited. I've also been turning off my messaging thingys just cause I really have no desire to talk to anyone at all. Except for Cait. I switch my status to online just to talk to Cait. Amazingly, Tasha has lost all appeal to me too. I tried talking to her one day but she seemed off; kinda reserved and non-conversational and very ambigious with her answers. She says she does it with all her friends but that's a lame excuse, so i'm just like alrighty then. Ok, I can't stop listening to "Shine it all around" by Mr. Robert Plant. It's such a beautiful song and I just feel so....good when I hear it. Makes you happy. It's a good feeling. The house is empty like usual because i'm the only one here. I don't mind it though, it's nice and quiet and all mine to rule over until my mommy gets home. Heh, my mommy is a genuine mastermind. Her birthday was Sunday and her boyfriend was an ass and didn't even call her when he got back into town that day. He just went over his 'boyz' house and didn't tell anyone he was back in town. So that night when he called again my mommy really made him feel like shit. I was sitting here listening and I felt like shit too! But then, she did warn me that this was going to be a real life example of "play or get played." Let me tell you, she played his ass. My mommy's great and really creepy. She told me that sometimes she gets all dresses up for work and leaves at the usual time but in reality she's taken a PDO for that day and she just goes and does whatever she wants. Staking out houses, going to Texas, just whatever. Ants got into the syrup so we had to throw that bottle away. It gave me the heeby-jeebies afterwards. I haven't read my books which I should be doing considering they were $13 a piece. I need to get on my math right now. I'm hungry too. MAN, Cait has got me thinking about that first kiss I'll have with a girl and I keep feeling shocks down my spine! I believed her when she said that I would be hooked afterwards, I just don't feel like being reeled in right now. And besides, i'm tired of being the looker. I want a girl to come look for ME. Someone ask ME out. Approach ME. Girls are just trouble anyway. Eric posted again. It's been over a month so he's already got a number of comments. But that's Mr. Leto and he was always a popular guy. I remember those walks to class where I would be like "Dude, you little man whore! You're just like Casey! How come girls never come to me like that!? You need to stop all that Mojo!" And he would say, "Take it! You can gladly have the Mojo! I don't want it!" Heh, the emo guitarist with the soul of a poet. Damn man whores!

Public Pervert - Interpol

If time is a vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
But the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

How many days will it take to end
How many ways to reach your hand, oh
You and I

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby
May our bodies remain

There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heart strings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life

How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach your hand, ahh
Oh, you and I

So swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
As weak we move, I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah in history, I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey
Swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain

Thank you Caity for letting me know that this song even exists through that cd you made me.

Last One.......I Promise........Heh



Sheesh man, I'm sure I would pee my pants if I ever saw a girl that beautiful in the flesh...bleh, I can't even talk right now. I guess Cait is actually the only one who I could talk to about her and not be seen as some weird freaky boy....gosh, not even that came out right! Where are you my Caity-Waity?!?!?!

Oh, and the girl's 17...in case you cared. I mean, I found it interesting...uh i'll stop talking now...heh.

What exactly have I been doing lately?

- Math 101 w/R. Hanna-Summer: College Algebra
(Courtesy of Louisiana Tech university)

- Final Fantasy X-2 (Nothing much else to mention there)

- Exercise (I've been slacking off ever since my course started)

I know I said I would make a new Key, but I just don't seem to have the conviction to write at this point in time. Every time I come online I see none of my friends are on with me so it makes for a pretty boring time by myself. I don't know what I would talk to them about now-a-days anyway. Cait's out doing stuff and so is Tasha. I'm the only one who actually stays home all day. Erg, I've tried to paint the scene about why I'm stuck at home to a few people but they always want to argue of offer their god damned opinion about how I'm whining or I can do stuff and it's making me majorly pissed so I wont think about talking to people anymore right now. I've had too many of those talks already and I'M always the one who's being childish. All I can say is don't tell me what I should do until you walk in my shoes and see it for your self. - Gosh, I went off there, sorry you had to read all of that. It's not meant for anyone in particular so don't get your panties in a bunch girls. But, lets not think about that previous tangent of mine as it doesn't add anything positive to the conversation. I think I forgot to state the whole point of it though; I'm stuck at home and I'm not complaining about it because I like it at home - to each their own.

ANYWAY, I should probably start doing my math for today now. I'll think about a new key but I don't think weather I write or not will actually make any difference to anyone. I never did do those Family Keys that I promised. I also haven't added anything to my fanfic in quite some time. And i'm still feeling anxious about something but I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell is comming.

By the way, my mommy's birthday is tomorrow. She'll be 32 years old. YAY!!

I'm going to go make a new key now, well, later actually. For some reason I feel like i'm running out of time, but for what I do not know. Strange no? Oh, and personally I like their short hair better. It just seems less....dirty, you know what I mean?

All I Want To Do Is Do The Zoom Zoom Zoom In Your Boom Boom

I SOOO totally want a huge abandoned haunted bording school for Christmas!
(I forgot a video yesterday....oops)

The Book of the Eight Aeons

In the beginning there was the One, the One who will be in the end. The Earth and heavens were not, and day and night were not, but the One was and will be. Light and dark, the highest and the lowest, all was united in the One.

But Ialdabaoth the blind Demiurge broke free, proclaiming the word "I am". And thus disunity was created.

Ialdabaoth named things, and they were separated from the One. Thus he created the world.

First Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Saturn, the first and greatest of the Aeons!". And the Lord of Time was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that past was separated from future.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Jupiter, the Aeon of Separation!". And the Lord of Space was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that above was separated from below.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Mars, the Aeon of Destruction!".
And the Lord of Dust was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that decay and imperfection ruled everything.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Mercury, the Aeon of Consciousness!". And the Lord of the Mind was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that all things were distinguished and named.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be the Moon, the Aeon of Spirit!". And the Queen of the Night was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that the worlds were separated by the abyss of night.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Venus, the Aeon of Life!". And the Lady of Plants and Beasts was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that all life grew, survived and died in endless cycles.

Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be the Earth, the Aeon of Matter!". And Gaea, known as the Kingdom, was created. And Ialdabaoth saw that the fragments of the One was trapped within shells of matter and movement, ruled by the urges of Venus, imprisoned by the ring-pass-nots of the Moon, the names of Mercury, the strife of Mars, the labyrinths of Jupiter and the eternities of Saturn. And he proclaimed: "Hereafter disunity will rule to the end of time!"

But then he heard the voice of Sofia, the wisdom of the One imprisoned within the fragments: "Thou hast spoken the truth, O Lord of Dispersion. Disunity will rule to the end of time, but time itself will once die. One day the aeons themselves will die, and then unity will be restored". And then the One created the King of the Aeons, the Lord of the Sun, to guide the fragments towards unity.

One day the Daughter will marry and unite with the shining King, and this will begin the great Reconciliation. The One will gather together and the universe will be reunited.

In the beginning there was the One, the One who will be in the end.
