04:06 pm - A post about everything... I started College back on January 10th. I just have two classes this semister. I have Brit. Lit. II and Intro to Theator. So far everything is ok, I got behind in a reading assignment but I am good now. Both Classes are at night and are with the same professor, so that is cool. While on the subject of college, a friend of mine started a SCA-like group called Darklands. Basically it is a group of people who fight in armor with padded weapons. It is alot of fun and I have always wanted to join, but with my knees and back, I really should not fight. However J said he needed a Marshell, a glorified term for referee, so I signed up for that. They meet twice a week, although I have only marshelled one event so far.
I did not go to school today becuase my radiator freezed in my car. However, I will not comment further to save a rant.
As for as Video Games, I got two games recently through store credit. I never pay cash anymore. lol. I got X-men Legends for the PS2 and Katamari Damacy. Both games are great and I look forward to both sequils. These are must pick up games. Espically Katamari Damacy, it is only 20 bucks and it worth every penny. I am listening to its Japanese soundtrack right now. lol. Current Mood: blah Current Music: Akitaka Tohyama, Kenji Ninuma - The Moon and the Prince

10:53 pm - MysticWicks, Runes, and whatever else I think of.. So I know updates have been lacking, but I have been busy. I have been substitute teaching school off and on for over a month now. I also joined this new forum called MysticWicks. It is a really cool pagan forum with lots of nice people and great topics. I have been studying my ass off with the runes as of late where I had been so lax in my studies. I am giving free readings to anyone who will let me give them. If you want a reading via e-mail, messenger, etc, just let me know. Well, I know its been awhile and I know this is super short, but...I will try to post again soon. Current Mood: blah

09:07 pm - Project Green Man .....and no, not Green Light which is Ben Afflecks attempt to get more publicity. Affleck you were the Bomb in Phantoms yo!
ok, so you may be asking yourself what on this great Earth is Project Green Man or PGM as I will call it from now on. Well, after reading this article on Witchvox http://www.witchvox.com/holidays/beltaine/ipopm.html And it talks about how women should appreciate us Pagan Men. Well I got to thinking that article is great and positive however it does not reflect even 1% of how women view men around here. Another words, I need to start working out and shaping up around my disabilities. I mean, I am caring, sweet, funny, loving, and giving yet women around here do not look for those qualities; they look at looks and money. I can't do much on the money aspect because after all I am disabled and just can not work most normal jobs, but I can try to work out a bit so that I am some other shape then round.
Next I have always wanted to read more. I got to quit saying it and fucking do it ya know? Lastly, I just want to strive to be a good man. I know alot of people say I am now, and I feel like I am sometimes, yet I want to feel like I am a good man all the time. So with these things in mind I decided to put them all together and work on them all together at once. So in tribute to the article and the spirit of the Green Man I dubbed this Project Green Man. I am going to the YMCA tommorow to get started. This will be the Summer of the Green Man for me. I will devote myself back to my Wiccan studies, get in some sort of a shape, read some good books and be a damn good guy!
Wish me luck.... Current Mood: lonely Current Music: Tool - Ænema

09:56 pm - May Pole, Beltane, Camping, Turtle Pendant So yesterday my best friend and wife and kid and myself packed up our shit and went camping down in Williamsburg. It's about a 3-4 hour drive; just got home a little while ago. I bought a Hammock off of EBAY thinking it will be better for me camping cause of my knees; I was wrong. First of all it's so big (cause it has to hold my weight) that I am not tall enough to hook it up myself. Second, I could get in it, but I could not get out on my own. After two knee surgery I just can not pull myself up anymore. So, it sucked (sleep wise) I got two hours sleep. I then spent another three hours cold. Then I held back a major piss till 5:30 AM when my friend got up and helped me out. Then my bladder exploded. I then took a shower at 6AM and put on my ritual garb then got thilthy breaking down camp. I am an idiot, I should have broke camp down first. Enough with the negative and on to the positive.
I got a awesome Bloodstone (my favorite type of rock) Turtle (my totem animal) pendant for only 5 bucks. We had an awesome campsite all to ourselves. We had a great dinner, and I encourage all people to make friends with a 3 star chef then go camping, an even better breakfast this morning. We packed up camp this morn and made it so our presence was not shown on the grounds. However let me talk about the beauty of Willimasburg. They have trees with a color of green that the Eastern Shore has never even seen before. It was amazing and beautiful everywhere we went.
So today is Beltane and we went to a ritual at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Williamsburg. It is a church where you can be Christian, catholic, atheist, buddahist, pagan, etc. and no one scorns you. Everyone has an open mind. So we went there for the maypole dance. I wore my nice ritual shirt and pentacle, and turtle pendant too, and tied a strip of leather to my head and stuck leaves in it, in essence to look like the green man, and we left. It was an amazing ritual/service. The energy was amazing. Bonnie and Bryan were the Green Man and May Queen for the ritual. Due to soft ground we had the pole inside (tall ceilings are good). When we got to the point to bring in the pole I was one of the men to bring it in and we came in chanting and the ladies went nuts. Lots of people started drumming and I just went with the energy, clapping, singing, being foolish. It was amazing. David from Coyote Run and his wife led the ritual, it was awesome.
Later we went to the beach and cliffs on the Jamestown river and then to see the great oak. I love that tree its roots are as big as I am in width. The tree is well over 400 years old. I also saw a girl from my college today, in Williamsburg! She drove up with her boyfriend and we were surprised to see each other. I mean how often do you see someone you go to school with everyday in Melfa (3 hours away) in Williamsburg.
There is more I can talk about, however I am operating off of like 6 hours sleep in 72+ hours of being awake. Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Perry Como - Magic Moments

09:44 am - Red Dead Revolver Dies in my lap... Well guys, I had my preorder for Red Dead Revolver and everything but then the Leo in me took over. I will explain...
My best friend and his family have wanted a next gen system for awhile now, just couldn't afford one. They really like the gamecube from what I see and hear from them. Now their daughter is a notorious Zelda fan and (she has most of the Zelda games except for the nes ones I believe) I knew she would not be able to keep playing Zelda games with out a gamecube. So a few weeks ago I got the brilliant idea to get her a gamecube for her birthday (Early May) but then I thought if I got a gamecube for her, I would not be able to afford anything for her mom, whose birthday is next Wednesday. I really didn't know what to do. I couldn't get rid of this thought now, every time I said to myself I would get them both something else, the gamecube came back in full force. So, I traded in my GBA:SP and one Game for it. I a traded in a few DVD's but still had no where near enough. I then canceled my red dead revolver pre order. Then I told a few friends what I was doing and they donated a few games as well. Then I turned in some store credit I had. Anyway... Eventually I had enough for 1 used gamecube (black), Zelda: The wind waker used as well, and a used memory card. This all totaled like $119 bucks. It was to the point where I was scraping the last $12.75 out of my pocket cause all the store credit I had still wasn't enough.
They are all wrapped and I giving them to them early....today early. I can not wait to see the looks on their faces. That is the reason I did this. I knew they would get way more enjoyment out of owning their own gamecube then me just shooting someone in the old west in red dead.
So that was the sum of 2-3 weeks worth of work trying to get enough store credit. Current Mood: excited Current Music: Halo Fall From Above (You Can't Stop) OC ReMix

12:49 pm - Auctions, FBR, and Ghostbusters Comic Just a reminder: My auction for the original Chrono Trigger SNES Game along with BlackThorne SNES game ends today. Bid now if interested.
So the other night I was live on air, if only for a 2 hour block. A friend of mine works as a DJ for Salisbury Universities Radio Station, WSUR. They had recently ran a huge article about the current trend in college kids listening to Video Game Music. Rayce, friend and DJ, asked me to come on air so we could talk about my old station Fantasy Bytes Radio, and what I knew about Video Game Music in general. All-in-all I had a great time and I did make one big announcement. I am trying to bring back FBR. In about two weeks I will be putting up a website for the new FBR.
I plan to bring FBR back greater than it ever was. I know you are probably wondering what I mean, and I shall tell you. This time I want FBR to stream live all the time. Another words no more 23 hour playlist repeating over and over. If we go live 24/7 then the playlist will last a week or so before you hear anything repeated. The site will also be organized better. We can will sell merchandise and can now accept donations. Speaking of donating this will be a important to the station as we will never get started unless people donate. As soon as the new page goes up one will see a thermometer; this is for donations. We must first receive $50 in donations before FBR can come back on air. This is simply because I can not afford to do it by myself anymore. When the station is up and running it will still need donations to keep running. So, to keep people donating, even if it is just a dollar, those people will get a FBR:DP or Fantasy Bytes Radio: Download Pack. The DP will change every month, but will contain one or maybe two rare or new mp3s, Sheet music (no more free sheet music online) maybe a comic, as well as a Video Game review and editorial from a staff member, and lastly I will try to offer wallpaper in it every month as well. This is the only fair way to keep the station going is through donations, so if one donates, one gets the FBR:DP
In other news, The new Ghostbusters: Legion comic book has arrived in comic shops a month late. I was very excited when I picked my copy up yesterday. It is cool and features some nice artwork. The characters feel real and not faked. I don't get the whole Luis Tulley thing...but it is a funny side story I guess. I encourage you all to pick up your $3 copy at your local comic store.

10:04 pm - Top Secret Web Page, Mt. Dew hunt continues, and mass insults in religions I am currently working on a new site. I can not however reveal yet what it is about. You guys will just have to check back and see when it is done. In other news, I am still collecting these damn Mt.Dew caps. They are the orange caps you may haven seen on 20oz and 2 liters. I was going to go for just a 60 point item, or even a 160 point item, however my mother has convinced me to try and go for the Mt. Dew colored XBOX. I do not like the XBOX as much as my ps2 or even I gamecube if I had one, but the mountain dew colored XBOX is kinda tempting. She says she has connections with the people of the hotels of the islands, and can get the caps people throw in the trash, I do not really believe her, but if she can it will be great.
Well Karma is real my friends and I can prove it. I usually make jokes in Religions class either towards the professor or other people, all in good fun, and they know that and sometimes pick back. Well tonight the professor and the class both was on my case all night. It was a fun time, kinda like the friars club roast every year. Not to mention that I told someone to shut up right as my professor stopped talking and he thought I was telling him to shut up, that was a funny moment.
Well my gumbo fund raiser and play are not going to happen this semester with only three weeks left, so it will have to wait till the fall. Wednesday night I will be live on air with the host with the most, Rayce on Salisbury State Universities radio station WSUR. Found here: http://orgs.salisbury.edu/wsur/ Also, I will be speaking on air as one of the original founders of the video game music movement, so if you get a chance listen in.
Lastly today, I have an auction on e-bay through a friend of mine. I am selling the original Chrono Trigger for the SNES as well as Blackthorne in one rare bundle.

01:45 pm - Update to the 3rd power Ok, so it has been a very hectic few weeks at the college. Quizzes, tests, papers, drama, Mt. dew cap collecting... a busy time.
First things first. I saw Jersey Girl last night. This is Kevin Smith's new film. A film to break him out of the View Askiewnverse he has created. The critics give this movie a D and fans give it a B. As a fan myself I give it a A- I laughed I almost cried, what do I mean by almost cried, I mean that I was choked up in several scenes, esspically when he finally talks to the baby for the first time, however physical drops of water did not roll down my cheek. I think the acting was decent, in some magnificent. I think the cinematography was outstanding, Kevin Smith has come along way. I think for his first effort outside the fray, this is a great movie. A good start for mainstream film making.
I also saw Hidalgo this week. I went into this movie thinking Viggo's first movie from LOTR, probably wont be that good. I was floored. It was a great action movie, slight romance, and good acting and lighting. I give this move an A as well. I will own both of these DVD's as soon as they come out.
I have more to tell you guys, but I am running late for an appointment. I will post again Sunday night. Current Mood: lazy

10:31 pm - Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. ..That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.
I am sick. Been sick for two days now, it's that kind of walking zombie, whole body is numb and aching, hit by a mack truck type of sick. I skipped school today, but hopefully i can get a doctors note tomorrow, I have already missed more days then i should have. Speaking of school I re-wrote my Gretel in Darkness paper to have a more of a post traumatic stress syndrome feel to it. I think its worth a B from Dr. Glassco. I have allot of college work coming up this next two weeks. My post to here will be probably be null for awhile.
Other news....
I always talk about the show Mad Mad House (sci fi channel on Thursdays nights a 9pm) and how I like it etc. Well they are now casting for the second season for alts and guests. I decided to enter as a guest. After reading my e-mail they asked me to send a video of myself awsnering 20 questions. I probably won't get it, but I am going to try. If I don't try then I would never have a chance anyway right? Wish me luck all of you, I could be heading to Prime time. lol. It is funny, i don't even like to have my picture taken, but I am willing to go on tv in be filmed constantly, what is wrong with me. lol.
David got a job at the chicken plant, soon he will move out. Then we will hardly ever see him again. Then he will bring Stephanie back down here, that will be...interesting.
Also, just a reminder, Kevin Smith's new film Jersey Girl comes out this weekend, I encourage everyone to go see it. I will be waiting in line.
P.s. If you haven't checked it out yet, go buy/rent the Secondhand Lions DVD, it is a great movie.

02:19 pm - Life is but a sweet, sweet flower. It is Ostara time again. Hail and well met.
So it is Ostara time the rebirth of everything, spring time is here at last. I had the great joy of paining Ostara eggs last night with my friends and I felt like a kid again. I will make a food offering to the animals on March 21st, my way of forgetting past events and looking forward to new ones. Today my house is quiet. I am home alone, David is at work and mom and Don are on vacation. Few a few hours i am in total peace except for the clicking of these keys.
So, another episode of Mad Mad House yesterday. Fiona is really holding her ground, and next week it looks like even more tension is going to rise. I am really getting into this show.
I have to start writing like 5 papers that are due with in the next couple of weeks. So everyone be cool and till we meet again.... Current Mood: relaxed

12:26 am - As the lighthouse turns.... Another wacky day on Chincoteague.
Well I got my hair cut tonight. Bonnie cut it for me. I haven't even looked at it yet, However two people already has said it looks good. Until just a few hours ago I had like Elvis sideburns, I am glad she cut it for me.
In other news, My stepbrother is pissed at me for insulting his girlfriend tonight. I called her a soul-sucking bitch who has single-handedly destroyed him. (my step-brother) I get home and he is pissed at me. Get this, he is not pissed that I insulted her, but the fact I called her a bitch. He is pissed at me and almost at blows with me cause of the word bitch. Here is the ironic thing, she is a bitch, one of the biggest I have ever seen. It is constant drama between them too and it is sucking up my energy.
I also opened the mind of a person last night who couldn't accept the fact his friend didn't believe in God. I sat him down and had a conversation with him and in the end he was able to free himself from his old way of thinking. It felt great to open someones eyes.
If I don't write tomorrow (Sunday) it is because I am working on a paper about Gretel in Darkness for ENG 112. Current Mood: frustrated Current Music: Shenmue Matsuri Madness OC ReMix

12:08 am - The hold-on-to-your-britches-catch-up post Greetings and salutations. This is a post where I try to catch you up in what is going on in my life by posting all the random stuff in random order. So hold on, it may be a bumpy ride.
First, While it is fresh in my mind I want to speak on the second episode of Mad Mad House. If you don't know what this is read a earlier post. Anyway, tonight was the night for Fiona the Wiccan to have a ritual. How do I feel about the show being Wiccan myself. I think that some of it she did for show, well...alot was probably done for show, however, I agreed with some of it. Do I think it was an accurate representatation, no, do I think people will revolt against my religion because of her views of Wicca, I hope not. I can not say what is right or wrong for her, because Wicca is about what is right for the self, for her, that was what she does and believes in. For me, things are a little more chill most of the time. No swords, No screaming to the spirits, and not that many cauldrons if any. It is what she feels is right, and I respect her for showing her views on national tv. More power to her. I will say I am glad they voted that very hypocritical, lying, bitch of a woman, Kelly off the show tonight, good riddance.
Second, I know some of you may be wondering where I am in my Wiccan training since I have no updated in awhile. Our next ritual will close out the month of Earth. This coming month I am going to be learning about astral travel and have been instructed on some training excersises which I will most likely start tomorrow. Current Status: We have covered two of the elements, Water (west) and Earth (north), I have had the month of self, and alot of stuff I don't want to share. You have to remember Wicca is about your views and your methods of worshiping the God and Goddess and I don't want to share my personal methods with you guys. This is not because I don't like you, I love everyone who comes to my site, my methods are mine own. Come up with your own, you will be happier if you do.
Third, College is not going well for me this semester. I really need to crack down on my work. So if someone wants to smack me a bit to get me to concentrate harder then so be it.
Fourth, (and now we just get to the real random goofy shit that has happened or that I feel since the last time I posted. I saw an attractive girl tonight in Meatland. My first three thoughts of her was: She was nice, she had a big nose, and that she was attractive. I wanted to ask her on a date, but my stupid brain wouldn't let me. That whole, " I have nothing to offer her speal" kicked in.
Fifth, If anyone has played that game Lifeline for the PS2 let me know how you like it, I want to get it but i need to justify the price of the game plus headphones.
Sixth, If anyone reading this knows how to add a poll to the journals, please, i beg of you, let me know. Thank you.
I don't know what else is going on, I will post more later. Peace out all.

10:01 am - IF you get severe, life-inflicting pains from hell more than twice a week.... I have had two ulcer attacks this week. One of these was brought on by drinking alcohol, but only a 22 ounce bottles worth, the other was last night and it attacked for no apparent reason. I can not explain how bad these attacks are to people, but if you could see me when i go through it, then you would understand. First is pain. lots of pain, steady constant pain that will not go away to matter if you take pain pills or whatever. Then can come explosive dierhha and or vomiting. Sometimes you may get gaseous nuasis burps that smell like rotten eggs. It is truly horrible. It has subsided now, but every time it is over I feel drained and weak.
I am recovering
Also, If I can ask a favor of fellow Wiccans out there, not for me, but for a friend. My history professor and a man I hold very close to my heat, Barry Neville. He is a great man of the likes that most of us will never have the honor to meet. He is a sweet, caring man who encourages not just his students but everyone he meets in his life to stay strong and to give them positive support. An example of this is no matter how mundane a question is asked in his class he gives a thorough educated response and then at the end says, "that is a great question." He always positive and supportive of people. Yet his life has not always brought himself happiness. He and his lovely wife can not have children, and this saddens him. You can see it on his face whenever he speaks about children. As if that fact alone knowing you can not have children was bad enough, now he has a more serious problem. He may have to undergo surgery for his back. He has a herniated disk, two other disks in his back are in bad shape, his lower spine has curved and he his pelvic bone is out of place. The man can barely walk. Yet his dedication to excellence is overwhelming. He needs surgery but he doesn't want to have it done cause it would cancel the rest of our semester. I want him to be free of this pain. So I ask you all to please send him healing energy, he really could use it.
Lastly, on a lighter note, I have always tried to bypass the colleges security system to install programs on their computers. For a year not I have not been successful with this. However by accident I installed DC++ on my flash drive, the program was running in virtual memory, and because of that I was able to run the program past the schools admin settings. IT was very, very cool. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Counting Crows - Angels Of The Silences
