Poem ~ Broken Wings ~

April 9th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

Well, im not sure of my inspiration for this, but i put some thought in to this, and pretty much made this as and when it came to me 

 Broken Wing

Drifting through the open sky
Higher into the open expanse
This deep blue sky
Flying through the endless blue
Clouds rippling through like the ocean waves
Flying higher through the waving clouds
Blue becoming white, becoming blue
Light reflecting accross my wings
Light as a feather blowing in the wind
With the wind blowing my wings
I Feel Alive, I Feel Stronger
Dancing through the clouds
Ever so blue, ever so free
Like a bird, i fly
and like a bird i fall
for my wings are broken
Neither alive nor dead
looking up into the endless blue
this is my life, this is my future
this is how it ends
for my wings are broken
closing my eyes
following the light

i hope you enjoy, this is like the life of a bird, once enjoying life, flying through the endless sky, but for one tragic moment, ended it all, with one last look into the open blue skys, remembering the life it once, had, before going into the light to God.

its actually a sad but special poem =)

from the dreadnaught leviathan to the ozmore plains

April 8th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

This is more a recap of how far ive gone on final fantasy 12, for reference, alright so im currently 31hours into the game, and have ashe at level 29, penelo at level 27, and fran at level 26

from the leviathan, basically, you escape and find refuge with Ondore, the group pretty much says that you need the dawn shard to prove Ashes lineage, and as such the group eventually escapes, and off to the sandsea they go, Lol…
well personally i liked the part where everyones like lets go, one character after another, i guess no one wanted to stay behind and be with Ondore, whilst everyone else is on a mission to save Dalmasca Lol..

So anyway The Sandsea which is basically 2 very huge, long drawn out areas, is so mind numbly boring it , could almost make you cry, basically Vossler joins up again, and you find out that these desert people petrol the area, Oh noes?.. and quite frankly, nothing more then that happens until you get to the kings tomb..

i found the fairly predictable flying bird before the tomb funny, i know robbert said take a lot of bows, because its difficult but after a long string of quickenings, i managed to beat within a few minutes, now finally after a long drawn out exploration of the tomb, you get, well a lovely back story from Ashe, and you get your first Esper? yay..?..

i didnt think much of the part next, because, like, you get captured, AGAIN.. why?… LOL

long story short a judge makes a deal with you, the dawn shard for the freedom of dalmasca and its people, and as you can see that doesnt end up well, since, well, the judge uses the dawn shard and, blows himself and everyone else, to, well the place DOWN BELOW LOL

before that, it basically made me go  WHAAAAAAAAAT, because, like Vossler of all people, is the boss.. LOL.. hes like. hes doing it for the good of dalmasca, im like.. well dur… Summons Belias, goodbye Vossler, it almost makes me wonder, why they gave an esper so early? because like he doesnt stand a chance.

you eventually get the dawnshard back, and after a long drawn out talk its off to Jahara, which is south of the Giza Plains.. Ashe wants to learn more about the power of the dawnshard….

so, after reaching the half way point, and quite frankly a bit, well A BIT more happens then what ive said, but… nothing exciting, it was cool seeing the Arcadian council/Vaynes dad talk, but the Ghost of Ashes lover at different points NAHHH, if they want to do that kinda stuff they should of made a romantic back story at the start, something theyve failed to do thus far.

im pretty sure Penelo loves Vaan, or that its probably just a brother sister thing, shes so protective and cares about him? is that love.. maybe

i have to admit, Ashe is a pretty strong chick, after all the stuff thats happened, she keeps on going.. its obvious when her dead lover appears in ghost form, her defensive walls, you know emotional ones start to break down.. with the words “I will avenge you” coming from her.. mouth..

but.. isnt it, like his fault? he see at the start of the game when its Dalmasca vs Arcadia the battle of the airships/ground forces, him and Basch fighting away, and bamn, hes like il go on ahead, a flying arrow hits him, oh noes i died LOL

to voodoo_child(steph)

April 7th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

Well i sorta figured i should do this, basically this will be a section for me, to well, say hey to people i know, i wont do everyone, as that would sorta make it redundant but one per week or so

Steph, just wanted to say, for the time ive known you, you”ve been, an awesome freind, and a great person to speak to, heck you”ve listened to me when ive had a problem, and me you, and well i hope we can remain freinds forever, if possible, i know its difficult online, as we may lose touch, but as long as im here, well il be there for you when you need me.. well try to be, i know we”ve had one or 2 minor issues, but yeah, your awesome, dont change

Strange Emails

April 6th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

You know how much i love hearing from friends, and generally chatting and getting to know people here, joking around, having fun, the usual, i admit my sense of humour does sometimes confuse some people or maybe make them, mad, well anyways, for a little while now, someone keeps emailing me, and being very forward to say the least, im thinking, she/he/it knows me, but.. they like all sound alike, from 3-4 different usernames now

Basically this girl, says how hot i am, and how she loves me, and uses nothing but hearts after each comment, ive tried asking who are you? but never get a response, well for the first time i responded, ive been deleting them, as and when they appear, because to be honest its not worth the hassle of replying

Now if your the girl in question, and i know , well i think i know who you are, your being creepy, i dislike girls that are THAT forward that i dont even know.. heck i dont even know your first name,  you MAY love me, but thats not love, just because im a guy, doesnt mean, well you can say those things, heck.. im not one to , like tell on people, but dang…  send me anymore email like that and il have a section up, to show the world, well my readers, what youve been saying to someone you dont even know period.

and well to anyone else, that i know, keep emailing, i love hearing from you guys =P

the only one

April 5th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

You are the only one for me
hearing of you makes my heart race
hearing of you makes my heart soar
high into the sky like a bird
in the sky , in the heavens
hearing of you makes me look to the future
you are the only one
my heart belongs to you
because my heart is in the heavens

well a short but sweet write up lol

Negima

April 4th, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

asuna204id9.jpg 

for the longest time now, ive been a fan of Negima, the anime and the manga, more so the Manga, since the anime, went a little off the rail at different points and didnt follow the manga like it should do, so anyway, ive loved this show purely because its fun, and well annoying at the same time.

Basically Negima tells the story of a Class in Mahora Accademy, taught by a 10 Year old Boy Negi Springfield, the class is 2-A, i believe most girls in the class are like 13, 14?, Asuna being who im guessing by, so talking about the anime, how does this work out? well quite simply, Negi and the 30 other girls have like 26 episodes of weirdness and fun, at Mahora Accademy, you get a real sense of classness from this, and at the same time friendship

if i could summerise the series into parts it would probably be

Negi introduces himself to the class, the girls reactions, and how Negi settles in to his new life as a teacher, a 10 year old teachers

Evangeline episodes, dealing with her

Random Class girl episodes dealing with them, and Negi

Negi + Asuna Episodes, more characterisation

Class episodes, where they do activitys as a class, or the girls alone

and finally, Save Asuna, come on Asuna, :D

Basically, as ive just mentioned Asuna, and Ayaka are probably the 2 most important characters next to Negi as they have, well an unspoken crush, in Asunas case, but the most dominant personalitys out the 30 or so girls, and have the most involvement with Negi whilst hes well there.

i liked how Nodoka had a crush on Negi, but was too shy to say anything, this was, at the same time weird, but suited her character well, shes so quiet, you have to just go aww when shes on screen, shes best friends with Yue, it seems like to me every girl, well the ones that have screentime, has someone they can call a friend.

so what does a 10 Year old do, when every girl is somehow in love with him? well to be honest nothing, it seems everyone, well most love Negi in some way shape or form.

did i forget to mention Negi is a Magician? son of the great Nagi.. well he is lol, he cant tell anyone since like he will get into trouble, they eventually find out anyway, he conflicts with Evangeline at times, but in the end they end up more as friends..

so much to say about this series, i mean so many characters and situations heh lol… i love..

My Favourite character was Evangeline, shes a young girl Vampire that was trapped on the grounds by a Magical Spell by Nagi, Negis father, she was actually a very attractive women, when she was.. well full powered, i believe she is more powerful then Negi, but then again, if she beat Negi and killed him, Negima would be over in 5 episodes.

I like Asuna, not because shes, the main female character, but because shes hard on the outside, but so incredibly soft and kind hearted, and episode 24? made me sad very sad.. meh at me getting teary eyed over an anime.. poor Asuna =(

if you havent watched Negima before, i reccomend that you do, its actually very good.

Solty Revant ~Early thoughts~

April 3rd, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

 soltyrei10td5.jpg

Possibly one of the cutest anime characters that was ever created, but more mysterous then anything else, if your first watching the show, you have to pretty much wonder, where did Solty coming from? why was she gliding around the rooftops at night with nothing but a robe/sash like thing on to cover her body, and what drew her to Roy Revant.

As it gets revealed pretty much at the start, Solty isnt human, shes 100 percent resemble, she is, by all sense a living, breathing, human like machine, in appearance, but in every other respects shes just a young girl, well Gonzo the animation studio, went a little overboard in the chest area, but dang this girl, has a lot of unanswered questions, and this is pretty much what ild think of her, from the first half of the show.

Her life, with Roy is different, at first when they first met, Roy was all greatful for Solty saving him, since Roy is a Bounty Hunter, he has to track and hunt and bring in, dangerous criminals, at the start Solty and Roy, well Roy doesnt warm up to Solty but a few events happen, and well Solty has to be a registered citizen to live in the city, Roy pretty much thinks hes staying with whats her name, forget.. sorry, anyways thats not true, she registered her as Roys adopted Child and she assumed the Name Solty Revant, after the first couple of episodes Solty adapts and pretty much stays with Roy.

As a Resemble Solty is very powerful, she can pretty much smash anyone that gets in her, way, this was proven earlier on when she battled the RUC special unit, 3-4 very attractive anime ladies if i dont say so myself, well i think she does, it happens before she meets Roy for the first time, and a how bunch of stuff happens..

But.. when in danger, she tends to lose control, well in one case, she went after her friend, a young girl who was kidnapped, and was hurt pretty badly by an electric whip like shock, she, well her eyes, just zoned out and she passed out, when she awoke, she seemed so different.. and she pretty much… kills the guy that attacked her.. and freaks the girl out..

if your watching for the first time, its pretty obvious what a pure and sweet girl Solty is, but she has this other side of her, that seems so dark.

Shes one of my favourite characters in this series, theirs no denying this, i didnt like how Rose took advantage of her pureness, but meh thats just me lol

Solty is just so sweet to watch, and kind

Picture attached to post, shes pretty much what i mean by the “different side of solty”, she looks so.. angry lol

Poem ~the world~

April 2nd, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

I Know quite a few people have inspirations about Poems, with reasons why they wanted to like write about the subject or thing in general, i dont in all honesty, in regards to this poem, ive put a lot of thought into this one, it sorta has a romantic yet.. special tone to it

Looking at you
Looking at me
Looking at the world
This Beautiful world
This world of ours
That we belong in
Just you in me
Under the blue skys
Under the Heavens
This is our world

short but incredibly sweet
ah it wasnt my origional concept for the poem, i believe i suffered from the forgetting it when it finally came to writing it down thing lol

Poem ~hate~

April 1st, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

Someone on the forum, inspired me to write a poem, i dont hate anyone, just that was the subject of her topic, so whilst trying to help her, i like thought of, a totally awesome poem i made, well i think its good, its a great way to start off april with..

Hating you as the moments go onwards
Moments of happyness, Moments of Sadness
Slowly drifting away
Welling up inside me
A Storm within my heart
Sadness turns to Anger
Anger Turns to Hate
The hate within my heart
Directed at you
My never ending hatred for you
That is in my heart

hate is such a strong emotion, its one that never really should be used by people, its upsetting and depressing, i dont think i could ever hate someone myself, its not like me, i may get annoyed or mad at someone briefly but it passes..

Basilisk

March 31st, 2007 by matt_4:mymelody.com

Before i write, im not really sure of all the names, they are quite difficult to remember, those that are side characters that is, Basilisk is an anime in Japan which is loosely based on an old Japanese conflict that may of occured, im not overly sure to be honest

Basilisk tells the story of the Kouga and the Iga, 2 Japanese Ninja clans in the feudal era of Japan, 2 Ninja clans sworn to hate each other, who have had a long history of Conflict and bloodshed between one another.

Gennosuke of the Kouga and Oburo of the Iga, both have been passed down the honour of leading the 2 clans, both are lovers, but both are sworn to a fate that cant keep them together, with the no hostilitys pact broken, both clans begin the fighting again, basically each clan has a scroll with 10 of the best Ninja from each clans for them to kill, Kouga didnt get this scroll, but eventually find out..

Basilisk has a ton of violence, for one, every episode a main character seems to die, a lot of stuff happens, like one guy loses his sister… another lost her lover, to the conflict.. its a sad and tragic tale that pretty much is awesome in every imaginable way

dont get me wrong, this is pretty much an ideal end of month post, since i need to get my blog sorted out and sectioned and start writing about more then what i am now but meh.. heh. undecided if im going to use this as my main blog and talk about the real world, who knows? lol

Oburo is cute.. for a woman that is, i have to admit if she were real ild totally be like Oburo your so hot lol

Japan in the real world has Kouga/Iga towns, which happen to have Ninja schools? conincidence .. no without reading the history of Japan it wouldnt surprise me if the towns and locations in the anime were real
