Well, I just blew 6,200 cool beans last night, I’m lacking sleep and my fingers hurt (from the pressing and the dismantling and the putting-together) and in sincere need of sleep. With the floodgates opened, I started to research on dragons and fantastic toys in general. Lo and behold, Mr. Todd McFarlane has provided me with enough resin (or plastic or whatever these things are made of) sculptures to sate even my most twisted desires. Enter, McFarlane toys!

In the spirit of the holiday season that has just passed, I’m gonna show you McFarlane’s twisted Christmas:

Santa Claus

How cool is Rudolph?

You wouldn’t want these elves making your toys now, would you?

The rest of the series is not Sanriotown-friendly so if YOU REALLY, REALLY want to see the others, go to

Happy Overly Commercialized, Highly Twisted Holiday!

In the words of shortcircuit, Moohahahahahahahahaha

There’s something regal about dragons; they’re big, ferocious, awe-striking, majestic, dangerous, sleek but at the same time, the biggest mother you will ever run into. Dragons have been portrayed from evil and conniving to heroic and glorious and regardless, they have become objections of admiration for so long.

*segway*

Since I was 3 years old, I remember the first toy I ever had was a huge bucket of Lego. The old ones’ only colors then were yellow and red. Boy, the cities I erected and smashed, the tight pieces I bit apart, the vehicles and cars and spaceships that my sick, little 3 year old mind concocted were endless.

*segway ends*

When I was growing up (around 12 years old), I told myself that once I start earning, I’m taking my passion for Lego and/or Dragons to the next level i.e. START A REAL HOBBY.

So anyway, it all started innocently enough: I was in Toy Kingdom looking for a Charizard toy, I then ran across this:

I froze. Dragons AND Legos all rolled into one!?

I’M

COMING

WITH

I fell in love. In more ways than one. This bad boy was bought right away.

And then

THE FLOODGATES WERE OPENED.

And tonight, a new empire dawns. I’m blowing Christmas money for this:

and this:

Glorious. I’m going to plow through throngs of eager shoppers tonight.

P.S. I know it’s not Lego but Megabloks is like the Lego of the big boys.

Batman IS the ONLY amazing thing about the DC Universe, hands down. No super-powered dweebs like Superman or Green Lantern and Wonder Woman and the travesty who is Martian Manhunter who can all fly and have super strength and run really fast. Ewww.

Batman, on the other hand, is the ONLY unique character - he doesn’t fly, he doesn’t run fast, and he relies on his wit and technique. He is the perfect anti-hero.

Imagine my joy when the FIRST Batman movie came out and Jack Nicholson blew my mind. Things went downhill from there: after Batman returns, Joel Schumacher took the franchise and flushed it down the toilet.

Things looked up with Batman Begins and my faith was restored. Now, my anticipation for the sequel, The Dark Knight, is making my world explode. I CAN’T CONTAIN IT! Things went awry when I  saw this: The original link for the trailer of the upcoming movie

Heath Ledger looks AWESOME.

Don’t mind me… I’m just gonna collect my jaw from the floor.

I know Wolverine is AWESOME and that he can probably own anyone in the Marvel Universe, but come on… the guy has feelings. He spoke out against it himself.

Well, in a way, he has acknowledged that he is the rockstar of Marvel.

During his time in Japan and other countries, Wolverine becomes a master of virtually all forms of martial arts. He is proficient with most weaponry, including firearms, though he is partial to bladed weapons. He can defeat the likes of Shang-Chi and Captain America in single combat. He also has a wide knowledge of the body and pressure points. He is also an accomplished pilot and highly skilled in the field of espionage and covert operations.

Wolverine sometimes lapses into a “berserker rage” while in close combat. In this state he lashes out with the intensity and aggression of a mindless animal and is even more resistant to psionic attack. Though he loathes it, he acknowledges that it has saved his life many times.

Though seemingly brutish, Wolverine is actually extremely intelligent. Due to his increased lifespan, he has traveled the world and amassed an intimate knowledge of foreign languages and cultures. He can speak English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Spanish, and Lakota; he also has some knowledge of French, Thai, Vietnamese, German and Portuguese. When Forge monitors Wolverine’s vitals during a Danger Room training session, he calls Logan’s physical and mental state “equivalent of an Olympic-level gymnast performing a gold medal routine while simultaneously beating four chess computers in his head.”

Despite his apparent ease at taking lives, he does not enjoy killing or giving into his berserker rages. Logan adheres to a firm code of personal honor and morality. He is often irreverent and rebellious, particularly towards authority, though he is a reliable ally and capable leader. He has had romantic, platonic, and even paternal relationships over the decades with numerous women.

WOLVERINE’S LIFE HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Magneto extracts the adamantium from Wolverine’s skeleton.

At the end of the Fatal Attractions crossover, the adamantium is ripped from Wolverine’s skeleton by Magneto. This act injures Wolverine so severely his mutant healing factor burns itself out in order to keep him alive. In fact, most of Wolverine’s other natural abilities including his heightened senses, strength, stamina, agility, and reflexes are weakened as well.

2. Wolverine becomes Death, a Horseman of Apocalypse

Wolverine lives without adamantium for some time before being kidnapped by the villain Apocalypse. Apocalypse sets up a contest between Wolverine and an adamantium-bonded Sabretooth to determine who would become the new leader of his Four Horsemen^.

Although he knows winning means being brainwashed and turned against his friends, Wolverine supposes that Sabretooth would enjoy being set loose as a killing machine, while he himself might be able to fight it. Emerging victorious he is made the Horseman Death, and Apocalypse strips the adamantium from Sabretooth and bonds it to Wolverine’s skeleton once more. Made to battle the X-Men, Wolverine overcomes Apocalypse’s conditioning with the help of Jubilee.

3. Wolverine joins the New Avengers.

Wolverine is brainwashed into becoming an agent of a now-allied HYDRA and The Hand. While under their control, he kills Northstar. He is eventually rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D. and he uses their resources to exact his revenge. Soon after, Wolverine is recruited by the New Avengers, because he is willing to “cross the lines they refuse to cross.” after the events of Avengers Disassembled, Iron Man recognizes the need to have someone who is prepared to kill on the team should something like what happened to the Scarlet Witch occur again. He serves alongside such notable Marvel heroes as Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Luke Cage.

But, after the Civil War, the whole “concept” of Avengers was split in two: with the death of Captain America, Iron Man leaves the New Avengers to form the Mighty Avengers. The NA go underground and refuse to be registered superheroes and be part of “The United States of Iron Man.”

4. Wolverine regains his memories

At the end of House of M, Wolverine’s memories are completely restored. This causes a panic for some of the major powers and governments across the Marvel Universe because of their involvement in Wolverine’s past. The United States and Canada purge all records of Wolverine’s involvement in anticipation of his revenge.

Now…

Honestly, the whole Messiah Complex story arc that Marvel is cooking up is AMAZING. Just a bit of a background: Due to Scarlet Witch’s insanity which led her to utter the words “No… more… mutants…” , the whole mutant population (approximately millions) to a flimsy 187. With the mutant population close to extinction, the first mutant birth in months has attracted the attention of Mr. Sinister, The Purifiers (military, anti-mutant fanatics) and the X-Men and now, they’re waging a war against each other to secure the child.

Let this picture sink in for a bit.

’nuff said. Heath Ledger will be king of the universe once this movie comes out. Oh and so will Christian Bale.

^*#(()@&&&$&!!!!!!!!!

It is so rare that I don’t have anything to say because I have this annoying tendency of saying useless, non-sequitur (sp?) stuff ”para lang may masabi”.  For the past 5 or so years I’ve been writing this groin-grabbingly epic story that rivals that of Tolkien’s. Well at first, it started out as a vision; a dream to write a novel so glorious that it’ll oust Tolkien from his position as Top Fantasy Honcho. The years dragged on and I realized that it’s HARD to write a fantastic fight scene. If you read most fantasy novels, the fight scenes weren’t really as awesome as you see in comics or movie adaptations. Obviously, novels don’t have pictures to capture the intensity of fight scenes.

When I took comics class during my last year of college, a lightbulb just exploded in my head: maybe I SHOULD just turn my novel into a comic script. Words AND drawings all in one. Awesome.

I’ll update you guys of my progress.

I’m a music connoisseur albeit a biased one at that. (Hey, I’ve always believed that the measure of a true music fan is NOT your openness to ALL kinds of music but you know deep down which kinds of music you love and loathe). If you visit my multiply account, you will be able to download these songs. Anyway, let me share ‘em here WITH lyrics.

This is not in order. They’re all equally AWESOME.

10. AFI - Prelude 12/21

This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you’d promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

9. A Static Lullaby - Stand Up

This town of sober actors
Feel free to watch your city
become more than a sitcom dependency
As they walk, her streets are bleeding
from the talent that they’re bringing
The stars will pave your journey
To another, to another x-rated love story
The hills have become your idols
The hills have become your idols
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up cause this town is failing us
This town of shifting power
Covered under Neilson ratings
Let’s decide how to feed your children
Rise and fall to the sound they’re scripting
Sit and smile at the pain you’re buying
Will it hurt when we live in paradise?
We’re washing up on sunset
Sit and smile at the pain you’re buying
Sit and smile at the pain you’ll buy
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up cause this town is failing us
This might be your chance
And when you find them running with
Your gun in hand
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up
We’re falling back again
We’ll find something better, we’ll do anything
(This town has killed us both)
Stand up

8. The Receiving End of Sirens - Planning a Prison Break

Warden’s calling for a lockdown, baby
He’ll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body;
Assist in the escape
Warden’s calling on a jailbreak, baby
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
Like a felon, he fell into scandals,
Scams, and master plans
To circumvent all circumstances
He thought to his throat,
“We can swallow this key and leave when we please”
Let’s hope this stomach, stomach
Let’s hope this stomach disagrees
Warden’s calling for a lockdown, baby
He’ll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body;
Assist in the escape
Warden’s calling on a jailbreak, baby
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
“Make a clean getaway,” he said,
With his hands outstretched
To nurse her neck
She lured him in with a masochistic kiss
And he wished he could be anywhere, be anywhere but here
Warden’s calling for a lockdown, baby
He’ll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body;
Assist in the escape
Warden’s calling on a jailbreak, baby
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
Arm (he could be anywhere)
in arm we walk (but here, but here)
outside (he could be anywhere)
so that all we’ve done was not in vain. (but here, but here)
Warden’s calling for a lockdown, baby
He’ll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body;
So assist in the escape
Warden’s calling on a jailbreak, baby
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could
Warden’s calling for a lockdown, baby (Somehow,)
He’ll call on interim inequities (for now,)
This is the last night in my body; (this skin will have to do.)
So assist in the escape
Warden’s calling on a jailbreak, baby (Somehow,)
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could (for now,)
He’ll fly like only a jailbird could (this skin will have to do.)
This is the last night in my body, yeah.

7. Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don’t want to be the one

The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So, I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight

I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So, I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight

6. Boxcar Racer - There Is

This vacation’s useless
These white pills aren’t kind
I’ve given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I’ve given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where I laid and told you, but you swear you loved me more
Do you care if I don’t know what to say
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend it’s all okay
That there’s someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I’ve kept them all
I’ve given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl
Do you care if I don’t know what to say
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend it’s all okay
that there’s someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if I don’t know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend it’s all okay
That there’s someone out there who feels just like me

5. Rise Against - Paper Wings

One last thing I beg you please just before you go
I’ve watched you fly on paper wings halfway around the world
Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
to catch you falling down
and I’m looking at you now
and I can’t tell if you’re laughing
between each smile there’s a tear in your eye
there’s a train leaving town in an hour
it’s not waiting for you, and neither am I
“Swing for the fences, son” he must have told you once
but that was a conversation you took nothing from
so raise your glass now, lets celebrate exactly what you’ve done
just put off another day of knowing where you’re from
you can catch up with yourself if you run…
and I can’t tell if you’re laughing
between each smile there’s a tear in your eye
there’s a train leaving town in an hour
it’s not waiting for you, and neither am I
is this the life that you lead,
or the life that’s lead for you?
will you take the road that’s been laid out before you?
will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?
somewhere else tonight…
and I can’t tell if you’re laughing
between each smile there’s a tear in your eye
there’s a train leaving town in an hour
it’s not waiting for you, and neither am I

3. Thrice - Image of the Invisible

We’re more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can’t allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we’ll never walk alone
We’re more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We’re emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible
So raise the banner, bend back your bows
We are the image of the invisible
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
We are the image of the invisible

Though all the world may hate us, we are named
The shadow overtake us, we are known
We’re more than carbon and chemicals
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We’re more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can’t allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

Raise up the banner, bend back your bows
Remove the cancer, take back your souls

2. Darkest Hour - These Fevered Times

My heart’s been racing with my mind to the finish line of these
Fevered times stuck down again this turbulence has overcome
Tranquility pounding the walls inside these thoughts I can’t control
And shooting through my veins these heightened senses overwhelming
Confusion replaces clarity a neurotic rearrangement you know the
Feeling when down feels up to it’s old tricks again so misleading when
It hits like a ton of bricks to the chest out of breath on the
Bathroom floor and I’ll make light of this night and night of this day
It’s what I tell myself to sleep when I dream myself awake

1. Coheed & Cambria - Everything Evil

Wait for..
Everything evil in you comes out
I’ll stay when we’ll only motivate sound instead, Sergeant.
Make for the table…
In hopes that I won’t be afraid again
call when enabled
And send the leader out against…
I will
Stage a reenactment in a false pretense
Exist inflict
Unworthy unconsciousness
Why debate when the actions suppressed?
Then kill the acquitted
Listen to the sounds that remain in question
In hopes to solidify a truce
Amongst the children and the jury that stands the verdict alive
Here among the dead
Evolve Monstar!
Show me the things that I’ve never wanted done.
Evolve Monstar!
Do to me the things I never wanted done…
I… I felt much better than this before.
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay…
Blood hungry, cannibalistic unfit family ties
In a series of knocks
To the young girl’s head side
Come write me a letter and paste it on my refrigerator door
Inspected inspector,
i think we’ve found something over here
I… I felt much better than this before.
If they find out to avoid
Then the accidents kept hidden away
But if they stay…
Jesse!
Just come look at what your brother did here!
He did away with me.

Stay until Wednesday,
And write me a child-like letter, pretending.
At war here in Thursday.
Let’s make this our last day at home by the fence.
Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run down past the fence?
Would you run? Would you run?
Would you run down past the fence? (FBI)
And she screamed,
Claudio! Dear Claudio!
I wish, God damn it, we’ll make it if you believe!
And she screamed,
Claudio! Dear Claudio!
I wish, God damn it, we’ll make it if you believe! (FBI)

Oh sure, I’m such a hardcore rockstar that it scares me but nothing makes me giddy like a schoolgirl more than Pokemon.

Eeeep.

Yeah, I LOVE Pokemon well at least the first 300 of them. The rest are just TOO weird and far-out for me. It’s crazy. 

“Rock Out, why would you love something so… kiddy?”

Well, I have to admit that Pokemon IS kiddy (to a certain extent at least) but when Pokemon came out, the concept of Rock-Paper-Scissors kind of fighting was taken to a whole new level. Anywho, let me show you the most rockingest Pokemon OF.ALL.TIME.

Cha

ri

ZARD!!!

How can you not love the fire-breathing, butt-kicking grandaddy of all that is amazingly awesome?

Isn’t he magnificent?

Well, here are the OTHER Pokemon that make me want to rock out as well.

Lugia - he’s awesome

Feraligatr - Blastoise ain’t got nothing on him

Mewtwo - How can you not love a cross between Son Goku and a Pokemon?
