Surviving break-ups, by Hanis Zalikha.

her post on this is incredibly not girlish. it can actually apply for guys too.

p.s. okay, so read girly blogs. so what? it's funny!!!

do you ever feel unappreciated? 

perhaps lent a helping hand, asking nothing, yet in the end you're the one who's forgotten?

oh well.

to every mother out there, geek style:

okay i know Mother's day was yesterday. the simple fact is i don't actually celebrate it for personal reasons.

however i do believe that you should appreciate your Mom (and Dad) all the same. don't just appreciate her that single day of the year. love her every moment of your existence, because without her you wouldn't know what existence meant.

with that said, here's a greeting to every mom in the world:

by Odin's beard, MIGHTY TORNADO!!!

currently playing Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with a couple of cousins, and i've gotta say, i never get tired of that line, right before i hyper combo KO someone.

Thor's awesome in this game. Though he's an incredibly slow character, he makes it up with sheer power. you don't know what difficult is till you've faced the god of thunder spamming mighty smash and mighty spark.

i'll admit i'm not remotely good at fighting games, heck i'm only playing easy in the arcade mode, with the occasional normal if i'm feeling lucky. fortunately, neither are my cousins, so i can still have some fun destroying them. :)

now i wish my friends would spare some time playing this with me, i'd love to give them some Thor loving.

current main team: Thor, Akuma, and Dante.

Borderlands: a proposal.

you know, the staff of gaming companies are usually gamers as well, and for the most part, they're not douches.

The staff of Gearbox Software, creator of Borderlands, a FPS-RPG hybrid game, proved this last week by helping a fan out.

now this is an awesome proposal,  he didn't even need some fancy dinner!
now if only i could ask LucasArts to make one for me with R2-D2.

this is... this is... this is SUPER ROMANTICALLY AWESOME!!!

okay, to people who say geeks/nerds can't be romantic, this is my(or rather, crazedadman/sean's) answer:

if (i repeat, IF) i had a wife, i'd probably do this to, except on a PC cause i would never buy a mac.

i say thee, NAY!!! : thoughts on Thor the Movie

to sum it up in one word: awesome.

now i guess i'm a huge fanboy of Thor Odinson, so that opinion might seem a little biased but i honestly believe that Kenneth Branagh did a fine job on bringing the god of thunder to life. the guy chosen to portray Thor, Chris Heimsworth, was also up to the task of displaying the arrogant, yet with a heart full of nobility, prince of Asgard.

now there were minor annoyances regarding detail (hogun has a mustache, period. and volstagg the voluminous is simply not voluminous enough) but that's just the rants of an avid reader of the comic books. however, even these grievances were insignificant, as Thor had redeeming qualities that makes it one of the greatest superhero movies today.

certainly the battles were graphically amazing, bringing to life the Mighty Thor's immense power levels and hammer swinging awesomeness. i loved how they showed just how powerful the god of thunder really is: facing a horde of frost giants single handedly was no insignificant feat, as was summoning a huge tornado to face off the Destroyer armor.

however the highlight of the movie was actually the story and the characters, and especially those regarding Asgard. rather than a simple fight to save the day, Thor actually showed some depth with it's plot. in the end, it somehow successfully pulled off a magnificent tale of brotherhood (albeit with dire consequences) and jealousy, of redemption and forgiveness.

so my hats are off to you mister Branagh, for a job well done in making this fine movie, and not screwing up my favorite superhero of all time.

now here's to hoping that Marvel would bring Beta Ray Bill and Stormbreaker to fight alongside Thor next!!!

FOR ASGARD!!!

p.s. thanks for the company, guys!!!

a little confession.

i admit, i'm a freaking Grammar Nazi. at least partially anyway.

i might not go correcting everything on the internet, but i do occasionally laugh my butt off at the most basic, simple, ridiculous mistake that everyone with a keyboard seems to make.

come on people, can't you at least learn the damn difference between you're and your?
how bout at least making reasonably coherent sentences?

and you know what's especially annoying that it's not even funny?
people who use complicated, sophisticated and completely irrelevant words simply to imply their 'vast' vocabulary while the fact of the matter is that they couldn't put two and two together.

i realize this might come off as snobbish, or perhaps elitist, and maybe it is.
but seriously, if you at least try to improve and seek input from others, then i'm positively rooting for you.
however, if you keep making the same foolish error time and again you should just get off that keyboard. go type in your own language, for crying out loud.

and yes, i realize my English isn't perfect. at least my words don't look like they were spouted by google translator. and yes i write without capital letters, but that isn't exactly an atrocity.

learn to write better than a 5 year old. go read a novel or something.

For honor, for glory, for Asgard!!!

holy crabby crap i'm having a geekgasm with all this anticipation!!!

Thor's coming into the big screen in a few days, and i'm psyched up!!! No frost giant of an exam will stop me from watching the god of thunder kick every single butt that needs to be kicked.
It's welcome to the big leagues, Midgard.

geek rant ahead, be warned.

Now this is awesome.

Scott Weaver is my new hero. well one them anyway.

imagine a sculpture of San Francisco.

now imagine it made from toothpicks.

now imagine it again with pathways designed for tours of ping-pong balls.

i'm older now. but i'll still be immature. that would take another couple of years i think.

anyways, thanks GG!!! thanks for giving me a reason to smile yesterday, and for attempting (miserably) to surprise me. it was sweet of you guys, and i love you all the more for it.

thanks to the guy who picked my present. it's awesome, like you!
thanks to the gal who wrapped it up. the wrapping's awesome, like you!
thanks to the guy who tried to trick me into the surprise! it was amusingly awesome, like you!
thanks the gal who picked and held the banana chocolate (does it have a proper name?) cake. it was awesome, like you!
thanks to the guy who played a birthday song on his guitar. the rendition was awesome, like you!
thanks also to the guy who tried to play the song on the guitar. it was touchingly awesome, like you!

thanks guys. i don't usually celebrate birthdays. most years i barely even remember it, but you guys made this year one of the most memorable ones ever. thanks guys, thanks guys, THANKS GUYS!!!

Nerds, geeks, and things in between: never call a Jedi a Trekkie.

dedicated to a friend, who thinks he's a nerd, and another friend, who wants to be a nerd.

no my friend, you are not a nerd. you're not socially inept, and you're not a reclusive scientist working on some obscure random project in the middle of a high tech, secretly built lab. so no, i repeat, you are not a nerd. i have no idea why you seem to think you are. and no, you're not a geek either. not enough obsession to strange things that others aren't interested in. you're basically one of the cool guys, not the nerds.

and to the friend who wishes (even if it was momentarily) to be a nerd, please pursue another career choice. the path to nerdiness is just not for you, duh. you're to cool for nerd-dom. seriously, try being a shopaholic, i hear they're in chic now.

do you get this? no? then you're not part of us.

p.s. yes, i'm a nerd, and partially a geek. yes, i can spout random nonsense about the reign of Thor, or tell you how Han Solo got the Millennium Falcon. and yes, i've watched Revenge of the Nerds.

and i'll never make it like you do...

i could make tonight forever,

i could make it disappear by the door,

i could make you every promise that has ever been made,

and i could make your demons begone.

but i'm never gonna make it without you, do you really want to see me crawl?

and i don't know how to make it like you do, 

making love out of nothing at all.

for those who don't understand, it's a trap is a quote of Admiral Ackbar, the well, admiral of the Rebel Alliance fleet in Star Wars. the words were uttered in Return of the Jedi and has become a legend due to the rather obvious fact that the Rebel fleet had indeed, hyperspace-jumped into a trap.

i'm special, you're special, everyone's special. no one is special.

think about it.

if everyone was special, what would be so special about being special?

wouldn't everyone who's special be just as special as the person next to him, hence rendering them no longer special?


special would be a paradox; a delusion that doesn't exist simply because everyone is special which renders the peculiar fact that you are special moot.


hence, the conclusion would be that no one is special.

The things i want, oh won't somebody grant me these?

GEEK ALERT!!!

3 main reasons these things are unattainable currently:
i. i don't have the cash.
ii. i can't ask my parents as they deem most of these too childish. maturity is overrated!!!
iii. i have no idea where to get them, as nearby malls don't have these, and i have no credit card to buy online.
[mainly this.]

so i'm gonna list them down here instead, in hopes that some good Samaritan would deem it wise to gift me these things. can't a guy dream?

Trust.

most of the time, it's all we have.

a moment with family.

we might not be biologically related, but we are nonetheless a family. 

it's not blood that matters, but how you live with them.

happy birthday Ace. 

may you have a wonderful 19th, and may you never accidentally tickle a sleeping dragon. 

guess which?

wait, what?

have you ever met them? the ones we call friends, yet in our heart and soul we know they are not just that. they're family.

The Calm Before the Storm

Ah.

A moment's reprieve, a brief respite, before the battle begins anew.

For life is a never ending war, and each victory, each loss, is but a prelude to the next battle.

A toast, to the skirmishes to come, and to the tears that shall be shed, and to the smiles of joy to be had.

May we never fight alone. May our allies never ride without us. And may even foes one day become friends.

For who among us can finish this saga called life without the aid of  beloved companions, of cherished fellowships?

In the end, may our end be without regret. May our tales leave a legacy unforgotten. May our stories unfold with nothing left unsaid.

In the eye of the storm, it all came clear to me.

nothingness.

No matter how far your run, how fast you drive, the past always catches up.

always.

then it pounces on you like there's no tomorrow.

the past, all i can think of is the past. the future's so uncertain that i'm not even sure it's there.

perhaps it's not. perhaps it's just an illusion, meant to deceive my senses. or perhaps maybe i'm just delusional, over thinking things without plausible reasons.

just how long can one hold on, before he loses his grip?
how long can one dream, before he realizes it's a nightmare?
how long can one pretend that everything is perfect, while in truth nothing is?
how long can these demons be held at bay, before the walls finally shatter?
how long, just how long, can one run before there's nowhere to run anymore?

this feeling of helplessness, this inability to set everything right, this conviction of complete despair, they're feelings i would wish on none.

because these are what i feel, and they're killing me. i hope my own, someday, would never feel them.

Night Escapades.

leave me alone, get out of my face. and run like hell.

about me. again.

i realized something today. or yesterday. or was it tomorrow?

uh, whenever it was/is/will that i realized this, it's insignificant.


I am, generally speaking, an idiot.
However, i am also, hypothetically speaking, a happy idiot.
With a life that's, relatively speaking, almost close to perfect.
With acquaintances who are, honestly speaking, awesome.
I can live with that.
What more could a guy ask for right?
What more could an idiot dream for?

Cheers to being a content, happy fool.

SMILE!!! =)

NOTE: this is an exaggeration of everything. you have been warned.

don't stop. never stop. ever.

Thanks. Really.

i've realized something. i'm an ungrateful son of a schlag.

there's so many things in life to be thankful of that it's plain obvious i'm an idiot for being oblivious to them.
really i've sulked for too long, dwelling on every single shit that comes along.

time to take a new initiative, gain a new perspective.
life's just too short for thinking of crap all the time. hell life's too short for anything really, but wasting it on misery is one heck of a way to ruin your life.

Can You Feel It In The Air Tonight?

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord 
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord 
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord 

Well, if you told me you were drowning 
I would not lend a hand 
I've seen your face before my friend 
But I don't know if you know who I am 
Well, I was there and I saw what you did 
I saw it with my own two eyes 
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been 
It's all been a pack of lies 

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord 
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord 
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord 
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord 

Well I remember, I remember don't worry 
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met 
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me 
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows 
It's no stranger to you or me 

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord... 


by Phil Collins


a perfect song for a dark, cool, lonely night.

Unconquered Words: The Fall

he was once human.

yet too long has he been bounded.

shackled by these steel bonds that hold him.

no more.

today he breaks free.

today he is released from this earth.

the wings of freedom were his today.

his to spread.

his to unveil.

he hears the whispers of his benefactor: "careful, careful".

but the words were lost to him.

they were a haze, a blur that mattered not.

the rush of the wind was upon him.

he gently raises his wings, testing each stroke.

he begins to rise.

slowly, yet surely.

he soars through the skies.

words forgotten, warnings unheeded.

who, after all was worthy of his time?

he was no longer a man.

no longer confined to the realms of mortals.

he was a king amongst peasants.

a god amongst men.

he glides with grace.

with power as his only purpose.

he was with the clouds.

treading realms forbidden to men.

his was the dream of men.

his was the stuff of legends.

nothing else matters.

or so he believed.

he rises again and again.

above the hills,

the mountains,

and eventually the stars.

he was truly a god, 

for was he not sailing through the ocean of immortals?

he had not a care in the world.

for what god cared of the lands beneath?

yet somehow within his reverie,

upon the deepest recesses of his mind,

he could not escape the nagging of worry,

words once spoken yet could not be remembered.

what were they?

who had uttered them?

and then he remembered.

they were the wisdom of one who loved him.

one who gave the world for him.

one who granted him his wings, his godhood.

yet he had ignored him.

ungrateful of the gifts showered upon him.

he longed to return.

to ask forgiveness.

yet he realized in his heart that it was too late.

for he saw the rising of a chariot.

he had gone too far.

beyond the reaches of safety.

and then he felt the scorch of Apollo crossing the skies.

he struggled.

but in his heart he knew.

the Fates were today against him.

for had he not ignored them as well?

as the fiery chariot approaches.

he stares into the depths of Hades.

and understands his doom.

for it was he who had chosen it.

as his wings finally burn.

as the pits of Hades open to embrace him.

his thoughts were this:

so falls Icarus the fool.

so falls Icarus the vain.

so falls Icarus the ignorant.

but perhaps worst of all,

so falls Icarus the lonely.

and then he plummets into the void.

and returns into dust.

so ends the tale of Icarus.

ever proud, ever free.

yet ever alone.

Unconquered Voices: Ready to Fall

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything

I know I've been gone for what seems like forever

But I'm here now waiting

To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger

But closer than you think

She said, "just go on to what you

Pretend is your life but

Please don't die on me"

Wings won't take me

Heights don't phase me

So take a step

But don't look down 

Take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image won't focus

A blur is all that's seen

But here in this moment like the eye of the storm

It all came clear to me

I found a shoulder to lean on

An infallible reason to live all by itself

I took one last look from the heights that I once loved

And then I ran like hell

Wings won't take me

Heights don't phase me

So take a step

But don't look down 

Take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that I've been sorry

I know, I know

Now my compassion slowly drowns

I know, I know

If there's a time these walls could guard you

I know, I know

Then let that time be right now

Now I'm standing on the rooftop

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)

by Rise Against

i want to fall. 

fall forever. into nothingness. into darkness.

and leave all this behind.

i'm ready.
