I loved her before I knew her
like orange creme she teased my mind
every dream pointed to her
this love I yearned to find
I searched memory
hoping to find that face
of the angel who’d rescue me
Oh Elizabeth
when you came to me

The sky lit up
and the rain washed away
every sad memory
up to that day
I’ll never let go
of this perfect love
as it carries me
so far above

Soar with me oh angel
your wings a satine sheen
softly touching me
this perfect fantasy
Oh Elizabeth
when you came to me

I became the happiest man
in any land
carrying my life up high
pulling apart the sky
making my own constellations
upon your inspiration
you came into my soul
and my love forever
you have stole

Oh Elizabeth
What a perfect company
you have become for me
every night a kiss
sweeter than a bakery
you lay upon me
my lips tingle
as if again my first
this kiss
Oh Elizabeth

I love you

Football game with my uncle

Well today I went to my very first football game ever. At age 19, I have gone the same age that my Uncle went to his first football game. With him to make it even more odd. There have been 20 years since the seahawks have won a playoff game, essentially since I was concieved they haven’t won a game. So finally I go to it, and they win. So we take 20 to 20. Now we factor in the team is 30 years old. That’s 20 20 30. Then we realise that they are possibly going to be in the super bowl 40. That’s 20 20 30 40. Quite an odd set of numbers, I think that they have to win. Just for the sake of oddities.

Unfortunately…I’m not used to standing out in the rain like that for that long. And the constant deafaning roar left me with a headache so bad I just recently was able to stand again (about an hour ago). I’m sorry for missing DnD guys, but I couldn’t of made the drive. I’m majorly eff’d up in the head, taken some medication but it just won’t stop pounding.

It was a rather invigorating experience, while I’m not a big sports fan. To see that many people with a relatively common goal (very few fans of the opposing team that I could spot), was rather exciting. I even cheered near the end of the 4th quarter. You don’t notice it on TV, but whe nyou are basically at field level (we were what…4 rows away? :P) it’s really intense. You can just feel the guy getting snapped in half when some 300 lbs monster tackles him full bore in the spine. I was amazed they could even help that guy up after that.

I still don’t plan to ever like football really. But this was something I will remember for many many years, and I must say that spending sometime with my uncle was well worth it. He’s one of the few people I know that loves superheroes as much, if not more, than I. I read every captain america comic he had…took me many…many hours. From 8 pm till 130 am. And I still had much to finish, those I read in the morning from 8 till 11. I love that comic collection of his, its rather astounding.

At any rate, today was well worth it, hopefully tommarow my work won’t be mad at me. But it was something I had to do, and I don’t regret it one bit.

On a side note, this is rather amazing.

Read that, then watch a rather poor horror movie called “Event Horizon” :P.

ART 131 - Part 2 - The Background of Sam Blinco

My project for Animation Process (ART 131). Part 2…

Sam has recieved the treatment, it is now time to begin his next quest ;)…

Title: Sam the Blinco
Chapter 2: The search for…a background.

Sam had returned the treatment. His tutor filled with a satisfied glee. As he prepared for his next adventure, he wondered if he’d survive. Many villanous mercenaries gathered round’, preparing to steal from him his greatest glory. To complete the wonderous project, to recieve the great “4.0″. The voices rang on for minutes, their babble angered him. Sam needed to kill, Sam needed xp. Finally the quest was given. “You have but 30 minutes to find a background.” He worried…he wondered. Could he do it…then he realised. Where would he find background? A great ponderance fell upon him, as he began the quest for the greatest of mysteries.

Then it hit him. He knew where he could find the great background. It lie just south of his current location. Constructs…a sentient being much like that of a human. Operating massive mechanical beasts, they destroy the enviroment and have a hefty set of hit die. As he exited the room a great happening came, his ‘gateway’ his pet, had leveled up. He was unsure of what activites had done it so, but there it was. Floating beside him like oh so many beholders of the past. He was pleased, he was…finally free to use both hands. Sam exited to the still raining torrent, this baren wasteland of ice and cold…yes…icy cold. As he ventured to the site, he saw none. No mobs, no sentient beings, just a graveyard of giant steel monsters.

The ground suddenly shook with excentric fervor, toppling Sam over with relative ease. As the dust cleared he saw his foe, a golem of moderate size. Eight feet tall, and ready to rumble. He prepped for the battle, and grabbed old faithful. Leaping with the grace of a thousand elven rangers, Sam drove his great axe into the head of the Golem. The battle was fierce, but relatively quick. He realised it had to be so, as time was of the essence, considering that I…the narrator, have but a 30 second timeframe. Which by now I imagine I have broken. He hacked away at the golem, screaping off much of its back. The ground, so moist, if Sam had been another golem, he might of been disturbed by the site of its muddy blood. But he was not, so it was but mute point.

Resting the material upon the top of his trusted gateway, he made travel back to the base. Dropping the dirt on the desk in front of his tutor. He was given a barrage of questions. “time, place, mood, culture, what does this substance mean to you.” Sam boggled at the questions, he knew he was being tested. But what could be the answer. Another mercenary began to spout about their background, and the glorious depth it had. *thwack*. Old faithful had silence another infidel, and Sam was pleased. None would demean him ever again. Hoorah.

Next Chapter: The quest for a Rough Storyboard.

Note: I’ll probably only get to make a 30 second stupid scene with Sam returning with all the required (or so he thinks) materials for the final. But this is the backstory. :D.
