heh... being a D&D nerd (as I am)... this is actually my favorite alignment and classes (even though my most favorite class would still have to be the Rogue)... As long as I have a dexterity score of 18 and a +2 sabre... i'll be fine. (BLEH!) okay.. i'm done.

Current Song: "I Am One" By The Smashing Pumpkins

Hey Guys... I stumbled across this article about Top 10 Canceled TV Shows and even though primarily alot of the shows weren't very good through my preference... I did however see two shows that I remember as being ultimately great. Why FOX got rid of these two TV shows i'll never know...
Check out the article here.



#10. "The Tick" (FOX)
Premiered: November 2001
Cancelled: January 2002

The earliest trailers for FOX's outlandish live action version of Ben Edlund's comic book and animated TV series telegraphed the show's slim chances: It was too absurd, too wacky, and, yep, too friggin' funny to ever make it on network prime time. Grown men and women dressing in superhero costumes and acting like it was the most normal of acts? Sadly, America just wasn't ready for "The Tick," but that didn't stop the sitcom from winning a devoted cult audience over the course of only nine episodes. The show tells the story of The Tick (dry, stupidly hysterical Patrick Warburton, best known as Puddy from "Seinfeld"), who, equipped with a bright blue insect costume and a limited understanding of human behavior, defends The City from injustice and evil. Helping our clueless hero is his sidekick Arthur, a former accountant who deems himself The Moth. If the country wasn't ready for a tongue-in-cheek superhero comedy, it definitely wasn't prepared for the sidesplitting homoerotic undertones that fueled Arthur's relationship with The Tick. FOX was baffled too, shuffling its time slot so many times, even fans couldn't find it. Happily, all nine episodes are now available on DVD.




4. "Family Guy" (FOX)
Premiered: January 1999
Cancelled: 2001

It may sound like heresy, but given a choice between "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy," give me "Family Guy." Few shows have pushed the PC envelope as far as Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy." Watch it and you'll gasp, chin hitting your chest, thinking, "How the hell did this ever get on the air?" The animated comedy took on racial and social stereotypes with reckless, lethal aplomb. The Griffins were truly a dysfunctional family: You had a cocaine-snorting, talking dog, a baby obsessed with world domination, and a patriarch that makes Homer look like the guy who wrote "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." Though many found the show offensive, its demented love of pop culture and prodding of taboos also found it a fiercely loyal, cult following. How loyal? Just recently "Family Guy" became probably the only show to get renewed after it was cancelled. The success of all three seasons on DVD, plus nightly airings on the Cartoon Channel, made FOX realize they had a hit that they never supported. New episodes reportedly will resume by 2005.

The Van Buskirk Memorial Tournament

Yeah... i know the Van Buskirk is this weekend... but I guess I forgot to inform everyone that I won't actually be attending this tournament. (yes..yes... boo hoo and what not...) Yeah... funds for tournament are currently a bit low so... no sword thrusting for me. Yeah... I forgot how soon the Van Buskirk was being held this year so I didn't make adequate arrangements to be able to afford the tournament cost (and besides... alot of my equipment is shot to hell from the Battle on the Bayou tournament.) Well... just for reference purposes... so far... I only plan on competing/attending these upcoming tournaments:

Current Song: "A Night Like This" by The Cure

I love political cartoons... it's sad that alot of people don't understand them. (once again... that's our hard earned tax dollars going to good use...) [Note: Sarcasm] I'm seriously growing tired of hearing sh*tfaced politicians spitting shallow words out everywhere they go to just get the electorial vote. Now this new f*cker John F. Kerry is trying to play off of the intials of JFK... now I have nothing against democrates but they really dropped the ball when choosing thier representative canidate. If your already beginning to think it... well don't... President Bush angers me just as much (possibly more...) with his little WAR ON TERROR... give me a break... this bastard is challenging the world and claims victory in every little place he sends troops... but has anyone legitimately surrendered? hell no... American soldiers are still dying in Afghanistan as well as Iraq. Consider me "un-american" if you want... but I don't blame alot of the Iraquies for firing on US soldiers... because alot of them are miss informed and all they see is their family, neighbors and friends being killed by foreign invaders... hell... I know I'd grab whatever weapon I had and attack whomever marched into my land with assault rifles and tanks. *sigh*... As much as I'd defend this way life with... well... my life... America is going to fall one of these days... with the way things are going... it's inevitable... not even rome lasted forever.

man... i've been playing this game almost non-stop for the past couple of days. I'm pretty sure that i'm close to actually beating the game already... woo hoo! Go Clavets! (yeah... just ignore me...i'm just having another one of those Roleplaying moments...) yeah... besides that... today has actually been quite boring... i'll write more when there's more to talk about.

Yup... all the valentine's day hype is finally over... funny though... I somehow came out of it with a new gf. I love her to death, but certain complications stand in our way of being together... but that's just going into a bunch of minor important details. (that was a paradox... not contradictory) I'll let you all know what her name is at another time... I just don't feel like starting an uproar on this "ever so beautiful" President's day... (note: sarcasm)... today has been a horrible day... it's actually still gloomy from all the rain we've been having... I generally don't mind rain but it's been raining for more than a week already.

Heh... okay on another note... my dad is a pretty funny guy... mainly because he's being funny unintentionally. (aka i'm laughing at his incompetence) Okay... here's what I mean... I was feeling pretty bad this morning with this horrible cough and sore throat. I stumbled into the restroom to raid the medicine cabinet to see if we still had any cough syrup. Well... I found three different ones: Walgreens Wal-formula D Maximum strength, Triaminic Cough & Sore throat , and Benadryl Elixer... okay here's the problem:

Walgreens Wal-formula D Maximum strength - expires Jan/02
Triaminic Cough & Sore throat - expires July/02
Benadryl Elixer - expires Dec/96

yeah... when I told my dad about all of this... he was like... "just take it... you'll be fine"... but then later on during the day... my nephew Chris got a scratch on his leg and when I went to go get the hydrogen peroxide but then saw that it expired Feb/00. Told my dad about that... and he rolled his eyes and began muttering something... i wasn't really paying attention... i cleaned out chris's wound with warm water and a bit of soap and pasted a band-aid to appease his little infant mind (chris is 4 years old by the way...) and later on a night... my dad came back with a new bottle of hydrogen peroxide... and was like "here... an up to date bottle... you whiny baby..."... but I didn't need it anymore... what I really needed was cough syrup... *sigh* his ignorance never ceases to amaze me... oh well... hmm.. interesting...

Current Song: "Nowhere Kids" by Smile Empty Soul

YOU ARE A WARRIOR OF THE LIGHT!

You aren't evil at all - in fact, you've dedicated
your life to battling evil. With your trusty sword
and your unending courage you are determined
to send all evil back to the darkness from whence
it came. You are a dying breed, and have a tough
battle ahead of you.

What Evil Creature of the Night are you?

Heh... screw mystical powers and godly abilities... give me a sturdy sword anyday...



YOU ARE A WOLF!

You are fiercely loyal to those you love... and lethal to those you don't. If someone is lucky enough to be counted among your family or friends, they will be gifted with your eternal loyalty, courage, and devotion. You are a strong, passionate person who will always be there for those who need them. However, anyone who gets on your bad side had better watch out! When you feel threatened or hurt you will lash out however you can to hurt anyone in your way. You will stop at nothing to defend yourself or your friends, and your rage can be frightening. Be careful not to let that feral anger overtake you too often, else you might end up hurting someone you love.

What is your Inner Animal Spirit?
brought to you by Quizilla

*sigh*... I will admit it... this is one of my burdens that I have to live with. My rage can be one of the most scariest things anyone will ever bare to witness... but no worries to anyone... over the years I have grown more adapted to controlling it and it takes alot to take me out of my super mellow/humble mood and to put me over the edge. Yet still... when I get angry... I can guarantee that it isn't a pretty sight.

Greetings everyone... sorry about the lack of posts... but i've been rather busy with fencing, school and too many other miscellaneous things that i've actually haven't had the time to post anything. The past weekend I competed at "the Battle on the Bayou" Tournament and all I can say is... it was great!

The team foil event was a learning experience all the way through... too bad my team (Team Zero) got black carded (disqualified) due to Leo Rosas' temper tantrum for losing the final bout. Me and my friends David and Ismael were pretty pissed off at him for throwing all of our hard work away from some stupid reason as losing... hell... I hurt my leg and David hurt his neck trying to get as far as we did and fenced half of the tournament WITH our injuries... for Leo just to throw it all away. Truthfully... I didnt care about earning the placement... but when told that the black card not only goes for him... it also goes for the full team and for him to say in a direct quote "I don't give a sh*t!"... that just proved that he didnt give a sh*t for any of his teammates and that seriously felt like a direct slap in the face. All in all... being the Captain of Team Zero... I went and apologized for his rudeness on behalf of our team and congratulated the other team on their victory... with the only thing in mind that me and the rest of "team zero" (excluding Leo) could leave with some dignity left in us...

Miraculously enough... our team would have not only been stripped of our placement... but everyone on the team would have been banned from fencing the sunday tournament as well. What's so miraculously about that you ask? Well... that apology I gave... granted me and the rest of team zero (excluding Leo) the right to fence at the sunday tournament... and it also got the attention of this infamous fencer... I dont exactly remember his last name but his first name was Oscar... and the way Matt Delevoryas (Secretary of the Gulf Coast Division), John Trojanowski (Treasurer of the Gulf Coast Divison) and Jerry Dunaway (my former coach) were all telling me about him... he is a GREAT fencer... with at least 35 years of experience. He gave some pretty good advice and an insight as to how to fix my "flawed" fencing style... and for that I am grateful... but strangely enough... I listened to him before knowing of his acknowledgements...ironically enough... he was also the director of the bout that gave Leo the black card. Heh... i guess kindness can go a long way in the end. Matt, John and Dunaway... told me that I should listen to whatever advice that he gave me... and what was even more strange is that almost everyone knew that he gave me some advice... but had no idea what he told me. Of course... i'll never tell... but after I train a bit though... at the next tournament... i'll let everyone see what new tricks I have been given to hide up my sleeve.

I kinda feel bad for Leo though... there was an unanimous vote for him to be kicked out of the South Houston Fencing Club... but then again... he was warned before about his temper... and now broke his promise to Dunaway about never doing it again. I'm displeased with him myself... but I rather stay neutral in this debate.

Oh yeah... I almost forgot... at the sunday tournament... I placed 7th... Oscar gave me the advice on Sunday by the way... as I moved into the DE (Direct Elimination rounds) to be exact... sorry I couldnt bring any medals or awards back with me... but I guarantee at least one in April.

Current Song: "Suicidal Dreams" by Silverchair

A GOLD Dragon Lies Beneath!

As the Hearts of the Pure, your Dragon color is... GOLD!


Your Inner Dragon is the most honorable of all. Golds are the third rarest of all the dragons (after Platinum and Chromatic dragons) and have a station in society that reflects their rarity. You are what one might call a Draconic Knight. Golds live by a strict code of chivalry and commitment. Remember Draco? Yep, Gold Dragon. Your appearance is fearsome and all-mighty but you'd never stoop so low as to bring any harm to a human. As a matter of fact, that's strictly contrary to your code of conduct. You're one of only two dragon types that is aligned "Lawful Good" and is proficient in the use of magic and spells. If you're curious, the other is Platinum, the King of the Dragons. Your piety, beauty, wisdom, and inner strength are absolutely without parallel.

But of course, being a Gold Dragon isn't all high ethics and codes. You like to fly around scaring things, advise humans in their affairs, and shapeshift. Strike that, you LOVE to shapeshift. And you're great at it. In fact, if you're a Gold on the inside, you might be a Gold on the outside, too - just in human form. Your favorable attributes are honor, chivalry, truth, kindness, gold, mining, protection, wisdom, bravery, and trustworthiness. You might be a bit too trusting of humans at times, but they're just kids compared to you. If anyone threatens your humans or tries to kill you, you could strike back with your breath weapon - Fire. But then, no one's tried anything that stupid in the last couple thousand years. After all, you're about 54 feet long.

A SILVER Dragon Lies Beneath!

As the Mist that shrouds both Good and Evil, your Dragon color is...SILVER!


Your Inner Dragon is to dragons what the Ranger is to humans. Silvers are one of three types of metallic dragon, the others being Gold and Copper. Like all metallics, Silvers rigidly adhere to an internal code of conduct. Unlike the other two metallics, however, this code is not universal. Each Silver must develop their code individually, a fact which explains their unique dispositions and actions. Silvers are often considered outcasts or shadows dwelling on the periphery of dragon culture (much like human Rangers), but they can always be counted upon to speak the truth and help their allies. Because no one but a Silver knows what they'll do next, their alignment is "Chaotic Neutral."

Being a Silver isn't all shady head-games, though. You possess considerable intelligence and self-confidence (whether they manifest themselves or not), and given the opportunity could make a great leader. Magic isn't really your bag, but you're awfully good at slipping in and out of a situation or conflict undetected. Which, by the way, may be due to your slightly-below-average size more than anything else. Your favorable attributes are dependability, durability, problem-solving, mist, fog, silver, and pewter. Like your human counterpart - the Ranger - you're a superb weapons user and have an especially good command of your icy breath weapon. Just keep in mind that even your friends may find your ethics hard to accept from time to time.
