Break Broken

Break's over! Much fun was had, much slacking was performed. Even more MCAT was done. Boo. Oh well. In other news, I've restarted Magic the Gathering with my old cards, it's still fun. Though, my memory of some of the rules is rather hazy. It's all good though. So, if anyone wants to play I've got a Black and White deck (I like it), a Red and Green Deck (well-balanced) and a solid Blue deck (made by Laura, counters galore). All are fun, though my B+R tends to lose to Laura's Blue. It is painful to admit that... but sadly true. The GBA and I have been getting along wonderfully. It's new name is Doodad, of course. Just another facet of my Digitally Operational and Omnipresent Data Analysis Device. So far that encompasses my iPod, my computer, my car, my GBA and my cell phone. Soon I'll install something in my inner ear so that it can hear my subvocalize, and then attach an aiua to it. Booya. Comics are slow in coming... because I have no time. None! It's awful, but true. As a replacement, I suggest you read Shaw Island, now with 100% more humans in the comic. Many readers I know are very happy at the prospect of a reunification of Shaw and American Animetion. No offense to the latter, but Shaw was much better with the humans around. Though I still miss the old non-anime art style, but I'll deal. Two links for all of youse out there: Watch his face, it's highly enjoyable. And this endangered species needs your help. Thanks to the one with the cheez for the links. Adios! ADDENDUM: This has been shown to me by Jase, and much hilarity was drawn from it. Kudos to the one who made it - a student in an animation school and a friend of a friend of Jase's.

Reckoning Postponed

Yay! Return of the King won! So, I'm putting away my dice and pointy sticks (including the 11-foot pole). They won a total of 11 Academy Awards, which is a damned amazing number. What's the record again? Well, no matter. It's up there. And it's no more than they deserved! Damned right they got it. So, I've been rather absent from updating. Yeah... that's my bad. I hope you don't all mind. I've been, well, sorta busy. Didja know I have an MCAT in a couple of months? Yup. On the plus side, because there's no way studying for the MCAT counts as as "plus," I just purchased a blue Gameboy SP. I've never owned a Gameboy before, so be proud for me. I don't own any games yet, unfortunately, but I get to borrow from Duncan for now. And, best of all, multiplayer Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles! Heehee! In all honesty, I don't feel Nintendo was being a bastard for their choice. As far as I'm concerned, FF:CC is a single player game with the bonus feature of being played multiplayer. It's no different than requiring a Cube to play Double Dash. It just happens this requires a Gameboy to play multiplayer. That's business savvy as far as I'm concerned. I never would've bought an SP if not for this. Well, this and Cheng and Duncan's incessant prodding. Cheng - you're getting one now too, Dagnabbit! I'll be sure to write a review once I've played some Multiplayer. Ta!

Hail to the Snow Gods

They're really the To-Go Gods. Go Snow Go! And on that note, feel free to read the article I've written on the topic for Carpe Noctem. It's been edited by Ross, so keep that in mind *grin*. This is being brought to you because, if you look outside, you may notice SNOW! And lotsa snow! All kindsa snowy goodness. I recommend playing Winter by Vivaldi, Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon and Garfunkel, aaaaand Informer. It's by Snow. Don't gimme those funny looks! Just do as I say. Excellent. So, did a lot of you have a glorious Valentine's Day? Ifya did, leave a post on the side telling us about it. If you're like most people and dislike Valentine's Day for it's consumerism and shows devotion to a significant other on one specific holiday (when it should be year round) then also leave a message. But be sure to make it bitter and filled with anger and hatred. Or at least witty reparte. On that note, please review the content of these two sites. This one is brought to you by our very own Deity of Smileys, Albert. And this one is just making runs, I've seen it from too many people to attribute it to, and therefore attribute it to myself. 'cause it's my site. Bee-yotch! Teehee. Final notes: Pray for a snow day for those of us in Durham. It'll help not only me, but thousands of slack-deprived students across the campus. Not to mention helping out my bro who is currently trapped in Wytheville, VA on account of making a trip back to Charleston for Valentine's Day. I bet HE had a great Valentine's Day. I shall fill my next line with bitterness. Feel my wrath Ta for now!

Watch Out There's A Duck About

I am now a social member of Psi Upsilon! Yay! I am a happy social member of an oddball fraternity. Co-ed, small, not drunken white guys. Its fun, and its where I've been spending a lot of time. Bucu awesomeness. So, now I'm Morpheus. Technically, it was derived in this fashion: Camilo is from Colombia, they have drugs there, drugs? Alcohol! The greeks had alcohol, greek gods! Black trenchcoat.... Morpheus! So, it's a combination of Morpheus God of Dreams and Morpheus wise seeker of The One. Aside from two tests on Tuesday, things are going most excellently. I've reached some sort of a point in DDR where I made one of those bizzarre leaps past some really painful hurdle. I can now catch eighth notes when interspersed within sequences! What does that mean for you? Well... little to nothing! That's what. Heheh. I also think I'm going tonight to play. Should be a blast. Whee! Here's a link I nabbed from my brother's profile. Aye, his comic-based character isn't around much, but he still lives on in... dun dun DUN! The real world! Anyways, its a slogan generator, and made the title for today's update. I intend to draw a comic now, for the enjoyment of all. So, it should make it up any time today.

Ravin' Satan

Snow gods, be kind to us mortals. Grant us the snow that may knock out school, but grant also that it does not make the lives of those in Duham too difficult. I sacrifice my firstborn child (who shall be symbolically represented by this pizza) by burning him on this altar (which will be symbolized by me eating). Praise be. So, I know many of you know I am a loser. But did you also know that I make DDR songs? Probably not. But, should you be interested, you may consider downloading the files in this wee lad of a folder. It goes along to Corazon Espinado, and in order to play you needs only download this program. Just put the folder with the songs into a folder in the Songs folder (That's the creation of one folder in Songs and the copying of another into the folder you made... I'm sure you get it.). It's only basic for now, but I'll update that, too. It's really long for DDR, should you try to play with your feet it may make you tired. I have no sound editing... it makes me sad. And hungry. Hang on a second while I "sacrifice" my "firstborn child." Mmm, yummy. So, Rush is over which should give me some more time. I have a comic drawn! Why oh why can't I just scan it! Time, that's why. Yeah, right. Loser. It's because of Gemstone 4! The Spitfire is in town. And I've found all my characters from "back in the day." Dhymil lives again! And I now own some nice items. I'm a happy Duck. So, like I said: Rush is over. The last event of Rush was the Heaven and Hell party - the first floor is decorated as "Hell" and the second floor is decorated as "Heaven." There were costumes, there was fun, and there were some awkward promises. See, Marcos and Laura decided I should be pimped, and I said fine. They suggested pleather pants, and I agreed, they suggested skanky clothes I said, sure - at least I'd sell better. Well, it resulted in these pix, which are interesting to say the least. Unfortunately, the one where it gets my whole body has left my eyes looking unusual, so I'ma try to find a better pic. But, I'll put it up anyways. Maybe edit it a bit for the sake of satanic appearance. Let's see what I can do with it, and for now: these three pix will have to suffice. Bucu thanks go out to Psi U for getting me in my gear (Special thanks to Justin, Laura, Marcos, Liz and Flash for specific articles and advice). EDIT: Last pic added, photoshopped for content - more tastefully than most, I might add. Also, along with the drawing pad for the computer, I've decided to add these lights and rings. Preferably in blue. That is all for now. Go my minions! Spread evil! Evil! *cackle!*

Not Like a Stable

Yay snow! Allow me to begin this entry in praise to the snow gods - without you, I would've been working the last three days. Bless you snow gods. Bless you. There, that Calvin-esque praise being done with, I shall begin by laughing at those of you in Colorado who received similar amounts of snow as Durham, but continued nonchalant. We fear the snow! And the snow, it laughs and points at us. Our schools are weak-willed and cannot handle this blatant abuse, thus forcing them to lie in bed and play Dungeons & Dragons in their basements. Yes, these schools are a sad lot. RoundTable and PsiU have eaten my time away, because for some reason I am compelled to be at both sets of Rush events (Rush is capitalized because among living groups/fraternities it is tantamount to holiness) (And it's Megaman's dog). So, forgive me for being rather quiet here as of late. I have been working on comics, though in my own roundabout way. Did you know a tablet for the PC is $200? Well, Lisa, a PsiU rushee, was kind enough to show me one, and allow me to gaze into its resplendent glory. Needless to say, if anyone who's reading this has 200 dollars they would like to contribute to the "make Camilo's comics shoot out of his brain faster" Fund, feel free to send me those buckaroos via PayPal, which I have 10 dollars on thanks to a psych study. But, anyways. Hokay... so, there are new pictures and they are from the second RT meeting, and they are of me. I wanted to be scary, and I thought to myself - what is scarier than a clown? With a porn moustache? Nothing, I said to myself. And proceded to use face paint to make myself into the image of Porn-Clown. And then I took my own pictures. I think considering that these are self-portraits, they are of highest quality. Though, my face was described as "abstract." I'm not sure how to take that, so I'll take it as a complement. Hmm. What else. Well, Catain Jack Sparrow has been nominated for Best Actor, and LotR: RotK has won best picture. Or, well... I assume it has won. Because if it hasn't I will destroy all contenders. Seriously, if RotK doesn't win, well... PvP said it best. I will finish with a quote, "If I ever see hot wax near my groinal area I'll probably flip out and kill whoever's next to me."

Lyrics!

I don't have anything of great interest to report, nor do I have anything witty to say. (Unless I'm preparing you for a zinger later on, and hoping to catch you by surprise! Zing!) So I've decided to post lyrics that I happen to like at the moment for whatever reason. It's a bizzarre choice of post, but you might as well enjoy yourselves and check out the songs (legally) for yourselves. 'cause if I like it, it certainly must be amazing and awe-inspiring. Right? *cough* Right... "Orcs all gathered in their masses; Legolas will kick their asses; In my pipe old Toby's burning; Sauron's war machine keeps turning' Oh yeah!" ~Black Riders by Lords of the Rhymes "Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you'll see into your imagination. We'll begin with a spin travelling in a world of my creation. What we'll see will defy explanation. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to - do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be." ~Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by Gene Wilder "Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day; I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world; The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky; are also on the faces of people passing by; I see friends shaking hands saying, How do you do?; They're really saying, I, I love you; I hear babies cry and I watch them grow; They'll learn much more than we'll know; And I think to myself, what a wonderful world; Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me; Where trouble melts like lemon drops; High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me." ~Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole "Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream; And dream how wonderful your life will be; Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullabye; Then in your heart, there will always be a part of me; Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabyes go on and on; They never die, that's how you and I will be." ~Goodnight My Angel by Billy Joel "Well now, I get low and I get high; and if I can't get either, I really try; Got the wings of heaven on my shoes; I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose; You know it's all right. It's OK; I'll live to see another day; We can try to understand; the New York Times' effect on man." ~Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees "And if you never stop when you wave goodbye; You just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again; You just might wave hello again; I believe that my life's gonna see; The love I give returned to me." ~Wheel by John Mayer "I know a girl; She puts the color inside of my world; But she's just like a maze; where all of the walls all continuously change; And I've done all I can; To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands; Now, I'm starting to see; Maybe it's got nothing to do with me." ~Daughters by John Mayer

Conspiracy Theory

Shh! Comrade, tell no one of this secret. We have been using secret plan to subvert impressionable American children. We have fooled them into becoming "fanboys" of our propaganda, thanks to President Miyamoto's excellent work. Soon they will all be subverted. Is most interesting, especially similarity to Joseph Stalin. Mama mia Comrade. I sit here at my desk, stuffed ferret by my side, and reading through the internet, my chest puffs with sudden pride. Upon the screen my eyes have spied, in multifarious lairs, the page of one who makes great claims of films with many layers. And as time passed me, eyes were drying, I swore this scumbag must be lying. For though I see of C and Hobbes, I feel my childhood was robbed! There's no way that my children's learning, had filled Fight Club with soap a burning. Like tentacles that softly creeped, these blasphemies towards me did seep. And now I fear that little Susie, grew up into a coked up floozie. And Calvin now a depressed Jack, with a mililtant Hobbes riding on his back. So with my ferret friend I turned, and ran towards safety for which I yearned. And never again to reveal this truth, but now you've found it on my website (you clever sleuth). By my troth! I am off!

Lord of the Blings

An obvious and cheap reference in the title, terribly sorry, but it applied all too well for the task at hand in this post. Firstly, introduced to me originally by Murali and revealed to me in its full glory by Charles (a.k.a. Flash): Lords of the Rhymes in the house "y'all!" Check out all the songs, including the Sauron Flying-V mix. Even the music video was pretty funny. It was all very enjoyable, and has given me a set of Rap songs I actually enjoy listening to. "Elf girls in the house do the humpty hump, all the hobbits in the house get ready to jump!" In other LotR news, I want to dress up as Gandalf for the next costume party I intend to attend. The problem is the expense of such an endeavor could be very prohibitive. I can either make some money or learn to sow. Or steal money. Either way, but I need these items: Gandalf costume and his sword, Glamdring. Had I these, I would be the greatest Gandalf in the world! Except for Sir Ian McKellen, he's just a great Gandalf. Can't mess with that. Before anyone feels it necessary to point out to me, yes I'm a loser. Thank you. I don't lack in knowledge regarding that facet of myself. So today was my first coordination meeting for RoundTable. It went well, me and Armando are going with the reign of Evil theme, which isn't difficult. He's going to use Sting, and I my kendo stick. And we shall reap rule over Roundtable with an iron fist of Hispanic hotness. Yes indeed. Don't question it. The meeting today went well, was short, and did what needed doing. We even took some time for fun - because that's the way things need to be. Otherwise it's just a drag, and who wants to do that? Not me, that's for sure. Oddly enough, as I delve deeper and deeper into Roundtable and the people there, I simultaneously chill with PsiU more than ever (because I never did before, and now I do... a lot). So, I deign that I am becoming social, oddly enough. And that is why there have been no comics put up! Gah! Sorry! Please don't kill me. I will make more comics, this I sweeaaar! *Krakathoom!*. In an effort to replace my laziness, I throw some fun at you: the first is a Harry Potter puppet show! And the second is.... a Harry Potter puppet show! But they're different, and equally funny. Don't think I throw these things without any inspiration, because like any good website operator, I cite my sources every time: Thanks go out to E "The Hammer" Kuo. Many thanks! I'm out. Peace between Dwarves and Elves!

Plagiarism

I know if I put up a link to SinFest, few would go and visit, so I offer here his newest rant, which I found hilarious. Laughter is the face orgasm. When you laugh, the private organs must go, "What the heck was that? I thought we were in charge of fun!" It must freak the ol' nads out. I imagine there's a running competition between the sex drive and the sense of humor. A battle between the funny bone and the boner. Which can cause more pleasure? The ha ha or the oo la la? Comedy or hot dripping sweaty naughty good times? Which begs the question: After you share a big hearty laugh with someone--the kind that makes you convulse with nasal snort noises--do you still respect each other in the morning? Do you avoid each other, then bump into them at the water cooler and sheepishly go, "So. Things got weird, huh? I laughed. You laughed. One thing led to another..." Ever look at someone and go, Man, I'd sure love to get together with that piece of funniness and laugh and laugh till milk shoots outta me. That person will make milk come out my nose over and over and over again. Ooh. Yeah. Tell me the one about the rabbi and the penguins, baby... Right there... Yeah... Ah! Ah! AH HA HA HA HA HA! In other news, I've returned to Duke! And I intend to make a Font out of my own handrwriting! How cool is that? Damn straight.
