I may have SAD

I’ve been feeling depressed (not at the moment mind you, just in general). Because of that I went to see the help office, and the lady there said that I may have SAD (seasonal affection disorder), which means I get all down during the winter because there isn’t enough sun. She said I should get more sun and eat Chocolate. I believe that this will be a good idea, especially the chocolate.
On another note, while doing Latin in the library when the fire drill went. I quickly picked up my book and writing material like I always do, and went outside. Then a fire truck came up and firefighters went inside. It was kind of interesting, I was glad that I hade my books with me, so they wouldn’t burn. It turned out to be a false alarm and we went back to normal. I was hoping we could go home.
That’s all folks.

FAN MOVIES!

Good day for a post. I’m listening to an archived copy of Little Steven’s Underground Garage. It’s a great radio program with all this killer music from the sixties and Garage Rock (which is anything Little Steven says it is, in case you were wondering) You got to check this out. Go to you won’t be sorry.
Well, I have spoken of 8 bit theatre. It is a Final Fantasy parody, well the creator of the series Brian Clevinger made attempts of putting it into Flash Cartoon format, but by the time he gets the series done Final Fantasy XXXXXXVI will be out, so me and some guys at school thought that it would be a good idea to make a film version of the 8 bit theatre. I’m pretty sure it’s legal if we don’t try to make a profit out of it. I have called dibs on Red Mage, because Red Mage rocks, and I get cool lines such as "Give me an hour and I’ll be able to sail this ship into ORBIT!!" Also, when acting I have a tendency to smile, and Red Mage has a high neck-collar or something that covers his mouth.
My little sister is driving me crazy. She’s trying to get onto the computer, but I’m not quite finished. She also has some friends over, and that always makes her super hyper.
Well, that’s all for now. I may write some more stuff later. Who knows?

Pros of humanity and Laying the foundations for a D&D group

It has been an emotional roller-coaster ride, so things are pretty much normal.
I talked to my dad about my occasional concentrations of anger brought on by human stupidity. He says that I should concentrate on the positives of humanity and not the negatives. To be honest it sounded a little corny when he said it, but I still took it kind of serious. This is a list of the positives of humanity.
  • Humanity has produced several pacifists, such as Gandhi, Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr and the current Dalia Lama. This is a goo thing.
  • I’m human, so if my species produced me they can’t be all bad. Yes, I know how arrogant this sounds.
  • Humans have created everything in life I enjoy such as Science-Fiction Books, Dungeons and Dragons, Stargate SG-1, Farscape and Art. All these things could not exist without humanity.

Okay, I have come to a conclusion. I like humans, I just don’t like them bugging me.
In other news, I am creating a new Dungeons and Dragons group. So far I have recruited the two guys who showed me the pirate quiz. (I’m sorry it didn’t work out that well, go to and take it there). I see two major obstacles. First, I need to make a map, Second, my little sister will want to play (Sprite) and it will be kind of embarrassing having my little sister around. She’s really going to want to play, and when she won’t she’ll cry and it will be all awkward.
Anyway, that has been my life so far. Sorry I havn’t made any comments.

I've got a kick-ass new nickname

Again, I’m sorry that I haven’t blogged in the last few days. This is probably bothering me the most. I wonder why? Ah well. Here’s what’s happening.
The highpoint of today is that I have a rock’in cool nickname. It is Mad Dog Flint. I acquired it on an Internet quiz I took when I should have been researching Samurai. You can take the quiz by clicking onto this link.
Okay, that’s about it. I’m going to my cousin’s house because my parents are going to a Daniel Lanois concert. I guess I’m okay with it. I’m bringing a lot of reading material and will be off on my own for a bit of it however.

Quit Asking Me Questions

I am linking to my cousin Willy’s blog. Willy is not his real name. He’s autistic like me, and his focus interest is The Simpsons. That will help you understand some of the references.
To go to Willy’s blog, Quit Asking Me Questions, click the name or use links.
P.S. I CALL DIBS ON COMIC BOOK GUY!

I'm sorry. I know I should have blogged sooner. I have choclates.

Well, it is today, so I will start with what happened to me today. I got Latin and Math homework, I figure I can do them both with great ease. What’s really bugging me is this crick in my neck.
My birthday was pretty good. I got a Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting that is sitting not so far away from me. I also got the Map Folio for Dungeons and Dragons and fifty dollars I used to by Stream of Silver and The Halfling’s Gem, by R.A. Salvatore and Ilium and Olympos by Dan Simmons. Ilium and Olympus are both hard covers, but I got them for cheep. I also got a gift certificate for Chapters. For all you Americans out there, Chapters is Canada’s equivalent to Barnes and Noble.
Remembrance Day was a while ago. I don’t like Remembrance Day. I haven’t ever liked it since I was a kid. It just seemed to depressing then. Now, I just don’t like the entire concept. To start with, I am against nationalism, since it isn’t doing anything good for humanity, and Remembrance Day is a way of celebrating nationalism by saying how great it is to have freedom. I’m not saying that freedom is good, but I am also asking do we know what freedom is. What is freedom really anyway? I’ll do an excruciatingly long blog entry on it some time. That and I hate the entire concept of war, there is no real reason to it, and it is always going on. While I prefer chaos, war goes onto an entirely new level of chaos. War is legalized lawlessness. People are killed it wars. Do the self-appointed gods of the nations realize this. I’m going into beatnik mode, sorry. I just don’t like this. I had to go home after Lunch because I was so unhappy.
Whoa. That’s it.

ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE DAY (happy noice)

I’m really excited about my upcoming birthday, mainly because of the presents. Yes, I know that is greedy but that’s how I am when Christmas or my birthday comes around. I’m just excited about getting gifts.
Or money to get gifts with. My father’s parents came over last night. We had a really good meal with pork and mashed potatoes and corn and gravy. Just like Thanksgiving or Christmas. I love dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas because we crack out the turkey and my personal favourite, stuffing. We didn’t have stuffing but it was still good. I also got a funny greeting card that had Snoopy and Woodstock in front of a computer that said "We would have gotten you an e-mail but we didn’t know were to put the stamp." For a gift I got a 50 dollar bill because it’s harder and harder to find a gift for me.
Okay, hmm. What else is happening. I’ve had to deal with human stupidity for most of the day. People have just been getting on my nerves. We were listening to the radio in Math class and a U2 song came up, Sunday Bloody Sunday, and I said "That’s a U2 song," because I do that. Then this guy said that it was Green Day. I don’t have anything against Green Day myself. I love their newest album American Idiot, but I knew that it was U2, and I told him that he was wrong and the band was U2. He continued to insist that it was Green Day, despite the fact that it didn’t sound like Green Day in anyway. Well, the proverbial straw broke the camel’s back and I insulted humanity’s intelligence level. I know that humans are not really as stupid as I usually say they are, but they can be down right frustrating. Was it not Doctor Who who said "A blue box appears in the middle of town and what do humans do? They ignore it." Or something like that.
Anyway, it’s good to finally be home. Plan on relaxing for the rest of the day. At least once I’m done my math homework.

3 more days (also 2 days of a sore throat and more links)

Alright, I’m sorry I didn’t make any posts recently. I don’t have a good excuse.
So for the past two days I’ve been at home with a sore throat. It’s not that bad. I got some reading done. Did some notes on my D&D setting, waited in giddy anticipation for my upcoming birthday. Stuff like that. I figured I shod have worked more on my short stories, but I just can’t get myself to do it. I guess I’ll do some of it tonight.
I plan on calling Loncrow to see if he can come over this weekend. That’s all about that.
Okay, I promised some new links and I will give them to you now.
First, this is a link to my favourite radio station. It is classic rock and you can listen to it live from the Internet so you can listen to it too. It is called 103.9 THE HAWK.
My Second Link is to the webblog of the greatest writer in the fantasy of our time, Neil Gaiman. Im just a big Neil Gaiman fan so I’m putting this on.
Thirdly, I would like to link to 8 bit theatre, which is a very good webcartoon. I read it everyday even though it doesn’t come out daily. If you don’t already know it, it is basically a parody of Final Fantasy. (My grandpa is reading this right now and is scratching his head saying "Wha?") It’s pretty good check it out. But start at the beginning.

That’s it.

Six more days and more babbaling on my writing career

Sorry that it’s been so long. I’ve tried to get around to making a new post, but I couldn’t seem to find the time.
First, It will be my birthday in a few days. Six if you want a definite number. I’m really excited. I was hoping for an Ipod, but my parents say that it is to out of our price range, so I just asked for a new CD walkman for my upcoming trip to Italy and Greece, as well as some new CDs. I also asked for the new Neil Gaiman (Anansi Boys) and the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting for Dungeons and Dragons. Let’s tally up the price of all this.

JOYFUL REBELLION BY K-OS (CD): $22.99

NEW SEASON OF STARGATE SG-1 STARTING ON MY BIRTHDAY: PRICELESS
FACT MY BIRTHDAY CORRESPONDS WITH NEIL GAIMAN’S, WHO IS MY FAVORITE WRITER: ALSO PRICELESS
TOTAL PRICE: $219.78
This is presuming that they get me all the stuff I want on this list, which I doubt.
In other news related to my writing. It goes on at a snail’s pace. I have two short stories on the go and I haven’t been putting much effort into either of them. While I have come up with some good ideas for short stories I don’t have the drive to do write them, or finish what I’m writing. Creativity isn’t an issue for me, I can come up with all kinds of worlds. An alternate history were Alexander the Great’s Empire stayed in power, A Fantasy setting based on Africa inhabited by a cursed warrior-mage who can only come out at night and is running a personal vendetta against a corrupt trade-empire, the life and times of a changeling child brought up among humans who has survived to the present day and his encounters with historical figures such as St. Patrick, William Wallace, Marco Polo, Saladin, Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth the 1st, The founding fathers of America, Emperor Norton the 1st, Robert A. Heinlein and Albert Einstein. A superhero with a combination of Aspergers Syndrome, Telekenis and a really messed up childhood at a residential boarding school that makes him the most powerful and feared being in the western hemisphere. I have come up with this, granted the Alexander thing might have been a little obvious, but I’d like to see what would have happened if Alexander the Great concurred the entire world.Even so, I am a storehouse of ideas. I just lack the drive. Wait, no simply writing about my ideas makes me want to put them down and see them in print. Hm, guess I do have drive.
I have decided that if I’m going into Graphic Novelization, I want to draw the pictures for them. I have clear ideas of what I want them to look like and I don’t want people making pictures of them that aren’t right. I do like drawing the stuff that I read in a comic book, so it could be fun. My school library has a few graphic novels and I’ve been looking at the pictures. I really like the guy who dose the art for Sandman and Swamp Thing.
I have also trying out poetry. I think it has something to do with reading Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, since John Keats is a major character. This gave me the idea on getting a book with some of Keat’s poetry and I thought "Hey, why don’t I right some of this," I haven’t written anything yet, but I may still get around to doing it.
Well, that about wraps it up. Have a great weekend.
