Idea's or Questions About Dino's
OH wow! I thought lizards could regenerate too! Like geko's or Iguana's. Like "The Lizard" from spider-man studying those traits to find regeration cells and dna strands etc.

History of the Crusades
So this thread is about the historical records regarding the Crusades and the events that developed around them. I was very tired of always hearing how terrible Christians were, because of what the Crusader's did almost a thousand years ago. Well, I knew nothing about the Crusades at that time, and started doing my own research, I was amazed to discover how woefully ignorant the West is regarding the Crusades. I will post three Documentaries (of which I watched first) and will later post other videos and articles regarding the Crusades. Feel free to post links, or leave comments about the Crusades. =) withought further a do, lets begin, the History of the Crusades! The Crescent and the Cross part 1

God and the Big Bang
Hey Salkafar could you elobrate on that? I looked up that guy Hovind, but only thing I found for his sentence was because he gave things away for free atleast from what I gathered on wiki (however reliable that is). I saw some of his stuff and was pretty interested in it. What do you think about his reason for why carbon dating doesnt work? If you don't mind my asking.

God and the Big Bang
You know whats funny about that-the idea of a shere nothingness before the big bang is talked about in the bible. That first there was nothing but darkness and through the darkness God commanded there to be light, and "BANG!" the light was made and formed. I find it interesting listening to all the different ideas and thoughts about how one think's things work in the realm of science.

Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading
Well I finished Char's counter attack a long time ago and have watched stuff along time ago too just never posted it-so heres to update. THe last animes i've finished were: Spice and Wolf This show was very interesting to me-I enjoyed it very much though it was a bit odd. Regardless I look forward to watching its second season. Kaze no Stigma This one was a bit of a let down. It had great potential but ultimately it crumbled in on it self. Atleast for me apparently many people like it myself, I want my money back lol Chrono Crusade This was really a unique one for me. It reminded me alot of Hellsing. It was a nice show to watch just sometimes creators of stories cross fantasy with biblical stuff gotta be careful as to not confuse people hehe. Regardless I liked it alot enjoyed this show very much Utawarerumono Deffinately a must see. This one reminded me alot of Fire Emblem. A great storyline awesome action and great character development. Its more of a feudal Japan style but those are my favorites anyways. Encourage you to give this one a go =) Record of Lodoss War one of my new favorites. I've said it before I'll say it again-the older animes seem to be the best. The animation was amazing I love that style. Awesome story great balance of character powers. And VA=amazing!!! This one is a MUST see. (This was actually my 30th show I wanted it to be a special anime so originally Outlaw Star was going to be my 30th but now that'll be a later one) =)

*Sigh* so much stuff going on it seems like I'm a chicken running around with my head cut off. I've spoken with some A.P. publishers and they like the story me and my partner are working on and want us to present it to them whenever we're ready. Looking forward to that. But I don't think we're quite there yet but hopefully we will be soon, I mean with the progress and all. hehe.

Afraid of Death?
This is a very intrugueing topic. Death is something that is unavoidable, it is absolute. You can't escape it. Everyone will and is going to die eventually, it's just a matter of time. Why fear something that is absolute? Personally, I believe it is fear of the unknown, fear of what might happen, because no one knows what happens after death (says the science community). But lets take a look at this fear before I move on, if you don't believe anything happens after death anyways, why would some people be fearful of dieing? Is it possible, that they may just go into a sheer unexsistance? Will there be absolutely nothing, as it was before they where born? Perhaps, they want to spend more time doing something before they pass away, or maybe they second guess themselves, and arent too sure if they really will be judged. W/e the personal reason, it all comes back down to the fear of not knowing what will happen after they pass. Which I personally believe becomes fear of second guessing which in turn is due to regret. Whatever the regret is, is hard to say, but trying to understand death is like trying to understand life. One cannot exsist without the other. If everything was created to be destroyed, then why would anything be created in the first place? The created had to come from something that was nothing correct? Take a look at a construction worker. He has material that he can use to make a building when he puts them together. That same construction worker can then tare that building down, to make a new and better building. If there was nothing before life, and then nothing after life, what would be the next step? Would it be a greater life? Or would it be complete void of everything? I have my own belief's but it all comes down to how you feel about life, for you to find an answer about death that you are satisfied with.

Yeah, i know what you mean =). I met with my artist tonight, and he showed me the main characters and they look so AWESOME!!!! I can't wait to see them in action. The meeting was once again successful and I am really anxious to go further. It's taken me longer with Volume 3 with the change of my work hours and all, but I am trying to get it finished. What I am really looking forward to is the Advertisement Poster. It's gonna be sick! =D

Mirabilis's life
Volume 1: Ch 3: Time has changed, as once a world free of choice, was now a world delved into hatred, violence, utter and complete evil. Unable to freely express one's opinion but gladly accepting this new "social norm" the world has welcomed this "brainwashing" way of society. In the midst of confusion and questioning a young girl seeks a meaning in her life, she would soon realize that they're was much more at stake then just her finding her place in the world...

Kenji's Random thoughts
Awww...road trips....I've experienced this far too many times. Moving around so much, and then paying visits, uh when I go on road trips now I want to drive all the way through I am so tired of the whole "stop and rest" routine. I like to get it done as quickly as possible. I dont have alot of patience.

Tired-exhausted-bored-and upset. Upset because I want to watch a new anime but dont know what to watch. So I spend time looking forsomething, and don't find anything that seems to be appealing, and then I feel like I wasted all that time for nothing...*sigh* well I did think alot about the Guyver OVA today-pretty much ran through my head all day, perhaps I should go watch that. I sure do love it after all.

I hate how I seem to have so little time to do everything I would like to do in a day. Volume 1: Ch. 2: Battle appears to be commencing between two massive armies. As figures in futuristic vehicles continue to battle each other, other worldly creature seem to join the fray. And as one person continues to push into hostile territory, people can only woder what could be on this individuals mind...

Thank you ryuki and no there are more pictures, they are in the Firs Cosplay photo gallery on my page. And now for an update. I have finished Volumes 1 and 2 for my story. My artist has shown me the character designs which are completely fascinating. Words cannot fathom how incredible of a job, he has done. He is now working on Volume 1 as I move to completing Volume 3. Volume 1: Ch. 1: A global catastrophe has occured. In a sinlge day over 2. billion people have vanished without any sign or hint as to where they have gone to. The world has become a cold place, a place of so many questions, so much pain and grief, and yet no answers to be found. With such a golden opportunity politicians take the light, promising people answers, promising to come out of such a heart ache that has never shacken the world to its core before. And with the eyes of the world on one man, he becomes self proclaimed ruler...of the world.

Bleach Anime
Personally I am completely dissapointed in the way the story has headed. I've been following this whole "fullbring" arch sense it started, and I think it's a mochary of what bleach stands for. Every single item has souls? Paper/ Pencils? Lamps? Walls? Strings? do they all pass on? Are their Soul Reapers for them? I think that is extremely lame, and I just plainly don't care for it. Granted the action is cool, but honestly i think it's a joke of an arch. At first, I thought the "Fullbring" when it was first starting out, was going to be items that held spiritual singificants to the individual and through that item, they were able to harness their spiritual power. I.E. Chad's gold coin. Turns out I was completely wrong on that theory. I see this arch as the majin buu saga of DBZ. This new villain I think it's really a joke. Honesty I don't really see him as all too evil. More like a punk, but he hasn't really done anything "Evil" per say, at least not yet. Aizen isn't out of the picture by no means. I hope I don't sound rude when I say I don't see how this new villain is more evil then Aizen, when Aizen Personally, this is just my own opinion, but this has had to be apart of Aizens plan all along. Besides that point Gin and we still have a ton of that have yet to be revealed including so there's no way we've seen the end of him. Curios though whatever happened to all the

THANKS so much guys! It really means alot. I've been workin on this story for three years, now and I greatly appriciate the support. Some of you might even remember when I was first story plotting it. I am extremely happy, and excited to see things working out, for the better. I can't wait to get my first chapter done! And anyways... FINALLY!!!! My friend has emailed me my Aptom cosplay from three years ago! UGH! I tried to upload them here, but it was too big. But if you want to see them, you can check my fb, i uploaded them to that too. I only used house hold items, and my mother did an exceptional job on the burn scar. It a really great first cosplay, and for nothing except what I could salvage really.
