Prometheus was a book.

GEEZ

2009-02-25T03:33:03Z

Well, I just downloaded episode #408, and I gotta say, they played every Freakin video except the tribute to Furp that I sent in that took me like an entire Freakin day to make... It can't be played next week because it will have lost its effect by then. Geez, I even sent it in Sunday morning...

Other than that, I suppose I can't complain, but I didn't sign up here to complain. Either I never do out of principle or I have nothing to complain about.

True Love: Got It?

2009-02-14T01:18:53Z

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-William Shakespeare

From the depths I called out to you
Come to me
Upon your return, the light will return to my eyes
I’m not finished, I’m not leaving the touch of your hands
May it come and light up to the sound of your laughter
From the depths I called out to you
Come to me
Against the moon that lights your way back to me
They spread out and melted against the touch of your hands
In your ears I whisper, and ask
Who’s that calling out to you tonight, listen up
Who sings out loud to you, to your window?
Who gave his soul so you’d be happy?
Who will give a hand and build your home?
Who will give his life, and put it beneath yours?
Who will live as dust beneath your feet?
Who will love you more than all other loves?
Who will save you from every living spirit?
From the depths…

-Idan Raichel

Read Any Good Books Lately?

2009-02-06T05:34:51Z

I just got back from seeing the movie "Inkheart" starring Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, and Andy Serkis. It is based on a book, the first in a trilogy that I haven't read yet. All I can say is that I HIGHLY recommend it. If you are one to regularly push the limits of your imagination, you will enjoy both the film and the concept behind it.

Ben's Joke of the Week

2009-02-02T02:32:09Z

You know, I was having second thoughts about it, but they've been quelled. Anyway, if you guys actually want to send me your jokes, I'll (Ben will) tell them on the show. Next week I'll move the laptop closer to the couch so it will pick up the sound better. And I'll keep my head down. :)

Ok, fine.

I figured I might as well make myself one of these so I could, you know, fit in:

I tried to retain as much of my real life appearance as possible when sketching this. If I see this image anywhere outside of Livejournal, I'll do the only thing anyone can do in this medium; get really really mad.

Well, here I am. I don't know why I waited so long to join the Livejournal community. Oh, wait, I was probably afraid of spam.
