I have always enjoyed writing, and have a lot of stuff that I have lying around. Back in High School I fancied myself a poet, which produced some good poems (I'd say at least). Most of them were whiny and depressing, but whatever that's what teens do. In order to practice my writing I have been trying some writing prompts, mostly making my own, and one of them produced a poem that I was surprised with. You see what happens in it is sorta-kinda true, I definitely changed things around so it would work, but I am very proud of it, especially since I hadn't don't anything like that in a while.
It occurred to me that maybe I should share my writing stuff on the blog because this is about my brainfarts right? So without further ado, I present to you, my poem... I don't have a name for it. I feel that this one doesn't need a title because you can tell whats happening Its about a guy that cant get his love, and has to leave because he cant bear the sight of her again.
Im very happy with how it came out, but I know its not perfect. Any suggestions for me??
Also on the note of writing things, I recently put up all my recent stuff that I had written so far on fanfiction.net. Anyway, I have been getting such a good response from people about my Liara ending, in fact someone wanted another chapter.... Now I wasn't planning on one because I wanted to leave it open to the reader, however there were several ideas that I had that I couldn't work into the story without extending it, so I will happily oblige with the plea to extend it. My confirmation story, the one on the yahg has gotten less views and not really a lot of people are saying anything about it. Now maybe I just need to wait a little longer, we shall see but it was the one that I put WAAAAY more work into, I just want to see some kind of response.... but o well. I also had the idea for another ending, but I am torn whether or not I should write it because I had wanted to write one ending and stick with it... But the ideas just keep flowing. DARN IT haha.
In addition, I want to talk a little bit about how the blog is coming along. A lot of people are checking it out, mostly from the links I post on websites. I am searching for the right topics to talk about, and for the right audience that will listen to what I have to say (and possibly follow me :P) but I'm working on it. I enjoy the color scheme and I think that it's turning out well, my posts have become more organized (if you're wondering what it was like before, check the neotokyo post...). Furthermore, I have found a sort of schedule to my blogging, usually around Wednesday Ill send out a post, and possibly on the weekends I like the prospect of a sort of post schedule, but hear this I will not adhere to it at all. This blog is about whatever is on my mind, and well you cant put your mind on a schedule. xD
I have been very active on the forums for Mass Effect 3. I have forsaken BSN and instead gone on to a small but awesome forum, the Theorycrafting forums. The people on there are awesome, they will listen to you, AND no flame wars. Its what the admin set out to do, make a BSN type of environment WITH NO FLAMING. I love it, we actually have to use facts and whatnot in our arguments. Here it is, use it well: Theorycrafting!!
My final point of this blog post is one of bittersweet sadness. I had wanted to hold off watching the early Legend of Korra premiere until I had finished watching the whole Avatar the Last Airbender series. But now the premiere is off the interwebs. And now for an Avatar rant: The series was perfect, and it reminded me why its my favorite television show. Much like Mass Effect, it made you feel for the characters, but it also made you feel for the world. Some of the philosophy discussed in the show is true no matter what religion you are, and the show is full of superb writing. The music is also to die for, in the Sozin's comet special, o gosh it was so perfect. Zuko asking forgiveness to his Uncle Iroh was one of the best scenes in television, I was on the verge of tears (which for me is the equivalent of crying). Just the whole character of Zuko is perfect, I loved his character development, making him my favorite character. The others are awesome too, and they only lose to Zuko by a very small margin, but nonetheless he is my favorite character... Man I feel like such a traitor to the others by saying that. I'M SORRY :(. The ending scenes, first the coronation and second at the tea shop, are perfect as well, the music spot on and it just made you smile. After it was over, I was silent relishing the moment, not wanting to leave... but it was around 130 in the morning so I needed to sleep. Later I was actually moved to meditate, which in itself was an experience Ill touch on later.
EDIT: Well I guess I was wrong. I found the two episodes online still! First episode is here, while the second one is here. For the first episode I ended using one of the mirrors instead of the standard player, the one called Putlocker. I used the 3rd mirror for the second episode.
More on The Legend of Korra on the official website here!
I guess after having seen the episodes I'll give my spiel on them.They really remind me of Avatar the Last Airbender, but its also totally different. They really did a good job finding a way to make each series unique. (Small spoiler alert go to next paragraph if you dont want to see them) I feel that the show will not just be about Korra, instead it will also focus on Tenzin. It seems that they both will learn from each other. Before I get into the spoilers more, I absolutely loved the troll that the creators gave. In the end of Avatar, it is assumed that Zuko found out where his mother was. However we don't know what happened. Katara is just about to answer that very question when she is interrupted... and she doesn't go back to it. Bah Humbug!
Anyway, my initial impressions on the series without any more spoilers is that its going to be one heck of a ride. I dont know if it has the potential to be better than Aang's adventure, but it will be awesome nonetheless. The cameos serve as nods to the former series, however that is all. Everything else is new, for better or for worse, and I look forward for more of the series. And I also look forward to seeing Aang as an Avatar spirit. If he's anything like this fan art here, I cant wait. I cant wait to see what bad-ass remarks he'll have too. Anyway, this is the next thing to look forward to, for me at least!
But I have to get some things done right now instead of being distracted here. xD

My ship is at dock,And I am ready to depart.I prepare myself for the shock,That we will forever be apart.I glance back at the bar that bears your name,The one I frequented always ordering the same.Many a man would visit you often,Some for a drink, and some for a night to stay.I, a prospective businessman, saved to buy you but then,A millionaire stood in my way.In the months that followed,I still came to your bar.But I sunk into depression, I became hollowed,And you were the final reason I needed to go afar.I write this goodbye not for you but for me,To cleanse you from my heart eternally…And so once again I may be happy.
