I was just browsing through some unwatched channels the other day, around five in the morning, when I stumbled across something big people. VERY big. About seven feet tall big. And blue, very blue indeed. What was it? A show that I loved when I was younger, a cartoon that had made me laugh. Which one?

None other than...The Tick.

Perhaps you may be acquainted with the show on Fox that didn't last very long. Hah, not even in the same ballpark here. This show is just strange and dramatically hilarious. Tick's metaphors about evil and justice, not to mention getting a unsightly dog names Speak in later episodes. And his pudgy Moth sidekick Arthur (who everyone mistakes for a white bunny). It's just plain funny.

Comical indeed, and rather clever. I just bought the 1st season on DVD, and intend to buy the rest when they come out. It's funny, you don't realize exactly how awesome something truly is until you haven't seen it in awhile. I recommend that you check it out. And always remember the Tick's battle cry..."SPOON!!!"

And Arthur's as well..."NOT IN THE FACE!!! NOT IN THE FACE!!!"

You gotta love Starcraft, you know? A great classic game, and ever since I saw the three different trailers for Starcraft 2, not coming out until 2008 most likely, I have had it on the brain lately. Who da funk it? In addition to watching the aforementioned trailers a least once a day like some techno-junkie wackjob, I have played the original Starcraft and Brood War once again, getting back my old skills and sneaky tricks. I was always very good at the game, and love the large scale battles.

And naturally, my creative juices have been at work too, making up a new story. A fanfic, which I also post at FanFiction.net, but the question was...what about? From what I've seen, there are three types of Starcraft fanfics out there.

One: A different take on the main characters: Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul, ect, changing the story around with these three and others doing their thing.

Two: There is some unknown character, the author's own character where they enter another sort of world beneath the higher plot levels. Unfortunately, most of the time, characters in these are Ghosts, which I will not deny is extremely kick-ass.

Three: A sort of Starcraft joke story, short and poking fun at the lighter sides of intergalactic slaughter. How fun.

This story of mine is going to be the second of the three, minus the Ghost. And for those that don't know it, by Ghost, I don't mean a spirit. Read the manual. Anywho, I wanted a human, but one with a little more depth and freedom to act like a badass. And what better way than having a Marine character. Boo Yah!

Naturally, I had to do some quick thinking to get around possible roadblocks in the story, but so far, I'm in good shape. I'm nearly finished with Chapter 2, but I'll wait awhile before I post it here. But hopefully, I also will be good. Here's hoping kiddies! Until next time...Long Live the Mighty STARCRAFT!!! Ah yeah!

Wow, 600 page views huh? Pretty cool...Now, lets compare my accomplishment with those that are celebrating their one thousandth, or ten thousandth, or one hundred thousandth view...Heh.

But I suppose every little bit helps, pushing me towards greatness. Anywho, I've been rather distracted lately, what with watching the many trailers for Starcraft 2. I'm willing to wager that the whole world has been made aware of this coming attraction, and I am sooooooo very anxious right now. After witnessing the gameplay, I've gotten all nostalgic and began playing the original Starcraft and the Brood War. Classic. I would play online, but my computer still ain't agreeing with me. Meaning, I'll have to get a new one before Starcraft 2 comes out. I think I got a little time...

Other than that, I've got nothing to yammer about. I've been somewhat distracted from my writings, the majority of my efforts having been redirected towards the creation of my ultimate D&D campaign world. And let me be the first to say that creating an entire world from scratch ain't a picnic. A guy's brain must be working at peak efficiency to make up countries, land features, gods, customs, legends, titans, cities, taverns, NPC's, monsters, PC classes, among another million or so things. More than likely I'm making things way too complicated for my own good. Most DM's don't create worlds this in depth, I'd wager, but as I've said before, just because something is elaborate, doesn't make it good. Things can be simple but yet eloquent. The beauty of the world one might say.

Alright, I've got to split. My mother is in yet another of her drunken moods, when she sits in front of a computer, playing music videos and songs from days long past. Naturally, I can do nothing to stop this maddening behavior, except refuse to take part in it. And trust me, that is harder than it sounds...

Hello and hello y'all. It's been a while since I've jabbered on here. Lots of stuff to do, and some many things to worry about. Not to mention that I'm a big fat slob...How that fits into this, I'm unsure, but I suppose the title of this journal says it all.

Anywho, lets begin. I still am without a computer. Well, that's not entirely true...I have this really old laptop that a friend of mine gave to me, so I still have a means to type and build up my music files. However, it has no available way of connecting to the Internet, so in terms of that, I still have to use another computer, a much better one than my own as a matter of fact. But thanks to some serious weirdness, I can't upload any new written works on to here. Why you may ask?

Simple. This other computer I use...for some reason or another, it doesn't have a floppy disk drive, and that is really the only way I can copy stuff off of my laptop on to other units. hence, you see the problem. But now, I may have that solved, as I now have access to yet ANOTHER computer that DOES have a floppy drive, so all is well again. I still have to save up to buy my own though, and put this nonsense behind me.

In terms of writing, I am SO back. Out of that bad funk, and on the ball again which kicks ass. Still, I'm lazy, don't get me wrong, the little symbol thing at the top is indeed correct. On the upside, I've been trying to become somewhat of a lesser slob fat guy, which seems to be working. Coolness.

Moving on...hmm, well I can't really think of anything else. Which reminds me, I just finished something that I'm going to post here very shortly. Like, maybe tomorrow or something. We'll see what happens. I mean, what do I look like? A guy who's not lazy? I don't think so.

That's right boys and girls...my computer has crashed, and I am without a means of being on the World Wide Web. I'm only here because I hijacked another computer, and I only get a chance to get on it in the early morning hours. Right now I'm tired, so I will keep this brief. I'm broke, and have no money to purchase another machine. So, until I save up enough, I'll be forced to pass this unit back and forth, getting a short moment to type my stuff down.

So I will only be able to put the barest of time around here, what with a job, and rebuilding all the files I lost. Ick, that is gonna be sooooooooo fun I can hardly stand it. I think I'm gonna swell up and blow because of all this fun!

Anyways, I'm bushed, so I'm gonna go crash. See ya when I see ya!
