All The Sharks, All Of Them!!!!

^ I drew that picture. Ya... exciting... anyways... cough...

I'm back! Pretty camp, eh? I just wanted to write a post letting all of my nonexistent followers know that the internet at my house got flipped back on finally! So, I'll be back to posting regularly again. Not that I posted regularly to begin with... but I want to try often. 

What have I been up to lately? Not much, really. Reading a few books, drawing some sketches, waiting for summer to get its lazy butt into my life... School has been pretty interesting lately. I'm definitely going to have a lot to say when I start writing frequently! 

How's everyone doing? I seriously need to catch up on some of the blogs I follow. I also really want to post some of the stuff I've been working on lately. Music, drawings, poetry, other artistic stuff like that that I come up with on the nights I just can't fall asleep. 

But, enough about me. What have you been up to lately? I'm really interested, no sarcasm intended... no sarcasm intended there either.

Anyways, the shark icon on Facebook is the best thing ever. I'm in love. So much love. I need to get a girlfriend. Haaa... 

Okay well I'm going to stop rambling now... Have an awesome night and cool dreams.

Vanishing Act

I've got to make this post short and sweet, but I just wanted to update all of you that I am in fact still alive and well. Unfortunately, the internet at my house got knocked out and will remain out for an unknown length of time :/ Until then, I won't be posting very much (if at all), but I'm hoping to return to any readers I may have very very soon. Thanks for reading :)

For A Friend

So, I saw this posted by a friend on Facebook. I know the girl in this video personally, and I've just got to say she is amazing... This video was recorded at an arts festival, which was held by a local church, and even if you aren't into religion I think you'll enjoy this video. The girl, Melissa, is a cancer survivor who lost her leg in September. She had cancer when she was younger, and it ended up coming back in 2011. Its a really sad story, but despite the hard circumstances she was able to do this:

If you want the link, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ_j0WMcPAk

Please enjoy! The entire story of this girl is really amazing and inspiring, and I couldn't resist posting it. She is a fantastic person, I'm lucky to know her.

Anyways, I'm gonna go now. I hope you liked the video.

I Attract The Craziest People

So, its been some time since I updated. Guess what day tomorrow is!

Yep, it's singles awareness day! I keep seeing tons of commercials about Valentines Day, so I though "Hey, why not?" and added a little shout out to the holiday that all single people dislike.

 It's never any fun unless you have someone to swoon, you know what I mean? My plans for valentine will probably consist of school work, practicing my script for the theater program I'm a part of, listening to romantic music all day and then maybe taking my best friend on a date to get our minds off our forever alone status. Haha... but hey that still sounds like an awesome day to me. 

You wanna know what doesn't sound awesome? Stalkers. They seriously creep me out. No, not the creatures from Half Life 2, the actual real life girl that you met at a friend's party who you went out with for a weak before you realized she was a weirdo, and now she wants you back. Ya, that kind of stalker. I guess everyone has at least one person who gives them creepy unwanted attention, but I find that I get a lot of creepy people following me around like that... What about me attracts that kind of attention? XD

In other news, I challenged my cousin to Super Smash Bros Melee. Yep, pretty unimportant to the uninformed reader, but, as it turns out, he is one of the top 5 Brawl Competitors in our state and used to be as  awesome at Melee as he is now at Brawl. So, I'm either going to get a major butt kicking or I'm going to give him a run for his money. I'm hoping that since he hasn't played in a while, I'll have an advantage... but who knows. Haha it really isn't that big of a deal if I lose, but I really want to falcon punch his ego if I can. 

That was really random, but ya. <--- Is such a nerd. 

In blogger news, so many stories have hit endgame. It's weird. Kinda like when your favorite TV show reaches the series finale, it kind of leaves you feeling sad for a little while. BUT to counter the sad feelings, I've  been looking into other blogs and I think I may have found the best troll blogs on the internet. I'll put some links up later. They're pretty ridiculous, but I absolutely love reading them.

Tacos make me feel so fat sometimes. There are probably the only food that I can eat without ever wanting to stop. So freaking good.

Anyways, I bet you're not wondering what I did today! So, I won't go into it. I'll update again soon :D

That Kid In Green

I went over to a friend's house yesterday and we played Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask on his Wii. Oh my gosh, my childhood <3

But seriously, I remember the long hours I spent trying to rescue Zelda in Ocarina Of Time, and even though I never got to finish Majora's Mask before my copy of the game disappeared from existence (Parents -.-) I still remember how much fun it was to play. I think out of all the N64 games, Zelda and Star Fox 64 left the greatest impact on me. I played those cartridges till I could play them no more...

Oh sweet nostalgia. Don't even get me started on my love for 8-bit gaming...

With memories of my childhood swarming me, I couldn't help but pull out the Gamecube and start playing. Why did I ever stop playing these games...? If only my older brother had left behind the N64 when he moved out. I'm also looking for the chords to my PS2 so I can play all of the games that got me into sketching and creating my own fantasy characters. Games like Shadow Of the Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 7... Gotta love it.

To think I was only seven when I played the first Halo, as well. Wow, gotta love being a 90's kid. Twas' the better days. XD

Anyways, as you can probably tell my now I'm a geek. Haha I love video games and all things fantasy and sci-fi... it makes life so much more entertaining to nerd-out every once and a while XD

But ya, because of recently playing Majora's Mask I've been looking into buying a copy of the Legend Of Zelda Collector's Edition game, but man... The price on this thing has gone up O.O I wish my parents had never gotten rid of the original copy I got with my Gamecube... Oh well.

I should probably pause for a moment. There should probably be something more... substantial to this post, rather than me just rambling about my childhood and video games.

HOLY CRAP GOOD OLD FASHIONED BOSS BATTLE FTW!

Sorry. Had a moment. My little brother is playing the Sonic Mega Collection... Another piece of my childhood.

Excuse me while I join in playing with him. I'll post again later, hopefully something that has a little more to do with helping you get to know me :P

Cardboard Batarangs

So, today I realized how horribly off my computer's calendar is.  I had to correct some of my previous posts information because it said that it was made in February of 2011. Ha... anyways.

I am Batman. Black cape, grappling gun, batarangs and all.

Well... okay, my cape was a little short and the grappling gun was just a Nerf-gun sprayed painted black... but the fact that my batarangs were legitimate cardboard makes up for all of that. :D

I ended up getting invited to a friend's 19th birthday party, and it was banging! The theme was "Masquerade", but you had to wear a costume with your mask so I decided to be the best DC Comics character ever: The Batman. (Insert theme music here)

It was actually a lot of fun... I'm going to post some pictures later once I upload them. I ended up winning the costume contest, so that was just the cherry on top of the cake for me.

Be afraid. Most legit batman ever is on the prowl. >:D

You'll see what I mean when I upload pictures later. It was a great night in Gotham, and some of the highlights for me were the things my friends said to me when they saw me in costume.

My friend Sam saw me in costume before I went to the party and asked, "Are you going to a costume party?"
It was like he thought I wore a cape on a regular basis...
Afterwards, I left something behind and had to run to the lost and found to look for it. So I ran through the building holding my cape behind me and singing the old batman theme from before I was born, and as I passed a group of people talking I paused and stared at them. They started cracking up and I ran away, grabbed what I had come for, and as I was leaving one of them said "...weird." And I spun on my heel and shouted "Don't hate! Celebrate!" And rushed off.
Afterwards, I preformed an amazing leap down a flight of stairways with my cape spread behind me, and got a roaring applause from my friends behind me. ;D In reality they were laughing at me but hey... Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
There were other fun highlights that night, but those were just the cream of the crop for me.

Oh, and ironically a girl came to the party as Harley Quinn. It was on like Donkey Kong.

I think I should probably bring this to a close though, so I will save my stories for later. I just wanted to make an update for anyone who was wondering what I've been up to.

I'll post again later,

Symbols Symbols Everywhere And Nobody To Translate

So, today I decided to draw a little bit of fan-art in my free time. Tell me what you think, and try and guess where all of the symbols come from.

(Obviously I wasn't able to compile EVERY Slender Man/Fear related symbol, and some of these I created myself with a hint of humor and imagination. These are all of the symbols that I know of or have seen)

Anyways, which symbol do you enjoy most? :) Do you know what any of these mean/translate to mean?

I'll be making more posts soon! I have a four day weekend (Yay!) so hopefully I can find time to sit down and write something mildly entertaining.

Thanks for reading what I have posted so far,

How To Start A Blog

That is the question. I created this blog about a year or so ago maybe (I can't really remember) after being pressured into it by a friend of mine. He was really into this kind of stuff, and probably spent more time on the internet than off. After a little while though, he and I got disconnected and distanced ourselves from each other, so I kind of let this blog sit in a dark lifeless corner of the internet where it has stayed until today.

What pulled me back to it? Well, a lot of things actually. Another friend of mine has kind of drawn me into a few existing blogs, and until now I hadn't really followed them like I should. It should be easier to keep up with said blogs now that I'm using one. I'll also be posting comments and thoughts now, so that makes everything a bit more fun right? Haha... another reason is that I get bored easily and need something to do on those "Slow days". Ya I know right? I should probably find a more productive hobby...

Productivity can wait, right? Haha, nah I'm not serious about that. Seize the day, eh? 

Anyways, I think I can find time for both seizing the day and lazing around ;)

I guess I've done an okay job of getting past that "First Post Writers Block" that some people complain about, but I can't say that this is anything... amazing. Heh. 

Oh right, I just realized I failed to introduce myself. Look at me, skipping the niceties. My friends nicknamed Michelangelo, but I usually just tell people to call me Angelo. Not quote as boring as my real name ;P

I guess I might as well give you a short paragraph about myself, so here I go. I'm a seventeen year old American teenager, I like anything and everything that keeps my attention, music and art are my favorite things in the world, I regular perform in shows (Actually, right now I'm preforming in a local community production of Oliver The Musical, which has been a lot of fun) and I have an unlimited amount of things I love. My friends are fantastic, Batman is a boss (The Joker is a freaking beast), and oh did I not mention that I geek out regularly? Ya, I have my moments.

Anyways, if you're still interested in reading whatever else I post, please click the "follow" button. Cool beans.

Oh, and I know this is technically a big ol' jinx on me, but one of my best friends got me into the Slender Man Mythos so I've been checking those out a lot. Haha I know you're not supposed to talk about him or he comes and hunts you down, but I thought it was necessary to say since the majority of blogs I will be following are related to Slendy and his crew. Part of me really wants to get stalked, actually. Idiotic, I know. I guess it depends on my mood really, sometimes I feel adventurous. Sometimes I act like an adrenaline junky... sometimes I don't. 

Actually, a year ago my friend and I talked about making a YouTube channel about Slendy for fun, but it ended up falling through. It wouldn't have been any good anyways haha we could never agree on what we would do for the story-line. 

But ya... Slendy is a huge part of my geek-cycle. Just thought I'd give him his five minutes of fame. 

Oh, and I am a stegosaurus and when I get bored I spontaneously generate planets. NBD. 

I might as well bring this to a close, so I hope you've enjoyed my first blog post! Let's party later :P
