Bloggaday 21 – Avatar Re-envisioned Coming to a Blog Near You

Alright folks. I saw the cover for 2012 (http://twitpic.com/170x9c), and the first I thought was if they decided to make the watertribes the antagonists in the Last Airbender movie. Having the in my head for a couple of hours, I decided to write that.
So it is time for me to take up the fanfic mantle and put pixels to the page in a new TWC. I figure if I write a story to somewhat mirror what happens in the series, I can release them along with TheAvatarJorney (http://www.theotaku.com/worlds/avatarjourney ), but given the necessary changes I would have to make, that could cause some problems.
There are of course bum loads of problems. There is a reason why the fire nation is the antagonistic civilization in the story, so it will require some creativity to spin this believably. I’m already churning some ideas on that. I won’t go into details on that, but will mention that it’s going to be Fire Tribes and Water Nation.
The next problem, lies I the Earth Kingdom ad Air Nomads. With Katara and Sokka being from the Fire Tribes, Aang would still learn water next, not fire. I could make Aang an earthbender (which given the couple hundred words I wrote last night, would fit nicely), but that brings some other problems.
The Earth Nation acts as the major population sources for the series. Some temples can’t really do replace that. Plus, I have some problems in general about the temples. They are all monks, not families. I would take from this, that airbenders are born outside of the Air Nomads. So, if the temples are only where airbenders stay, not born, how can wiping them out, wipe out the airbending gene, which is already in the world. Airbenders should still be born. Maybe I just don’t get how it works in Avatar.
So if I make Aang an earthbender, I could make them the monks of the world and have airbenders have a thriving kingdom. Again, though, there are reasons why Aang is an airbender. Damn be those reasons. Toph will be problematic though, since the blind earthbender was major point. So I’ll have to figure this out as one the first major problems. I may have to rearrange the order he learns the elements and just settle with the established storyline.
I think there were a few other things I wanted to walk though, but I’ll just stop here. I’ll post what I have written on Wednesday for another edition of PWNED so I’ll post anything else then.

Bloggaday 20 - BJ, BD?

Bloggaday 20 - BJ, BD?
Hello, My name is Bond James Bond Dysart. No, I’m not trying to be clever. My parents were huge 007 fans, and they actually named me: first name – Bond, middle name – James, second middle name – Bond, and last name – Dysart.
I don’t know, sounds like child cruelty to me. A while back I decided to shorten it and just go by BJ. It’s the damndest thing though; all my friends say I make a great birthday present.

Oh, the lengths I will go to to make a stupid joke.

Bloggaday 19 – An H?

Bloggaday 19 – An H?
One thing I’ve always found somewhat annoying. (Yes, three weeks into the Bloggaday, and I’m already scraping the bottom of the barrel with things that “somewhat annoy me”) is when people use the article “an” before words that begin with an “h.” It’s not so bad in typed form, because you don’t hear it even though I won’t do it, but when someone actually says it, it is grating.
Now, the reason why “an”’s are used is because in older English, these “h”’s weren’t pronounced. You can still see this in words that still have that silent “h” like herb. I’ll say, “an herb,” because with that vowel sound, it would be odd to say “a herb.” But by damn, I’m putting my foot down on this “an h” nonsense. If it’s silent, feel free to put “an.” But don’t use “an” if you are pronouncing the “h.” It’s a consonant people, and you don’t use “an” to precede a consonant.

You know what, I’ll extend this to people who really throw the “h” in words that start with “wh” like “whiskey” and “why.” Now, I’m not a maniac, I don’t mind the use of extra “h” (yes, this is where I’m drawing the maniac line). But still, something needed to be said.


Let’s recap. Do not say, “An Herring is a bird that loves a herb every once and a while.” “H” is a consonant sound, and thus, shouldn’t be preceded by an “an.”

Bloggaday 18 – The Fun of BDSM

Bloggaday 18 – The Fun of BDSM

Some time ago, I took a creative writing. Well, I’m going dispute that it was a creative writing class. It was more of a lit class where we learned about poems. Which is rather annoying when you want to take a creative writing class.
Anyways, this Bloggaday is not to biatch about that. I am here to tell you about my super awesome, really my FEANBA, shirt that I just got from (Zazzle link -> http://www.zazzle.com/drop_the_cow_and_try_bdsm_tshirt-235088587642267940) This particular shirt has its origins in that creative writing class.
The first half of the class was poetry. One of my poems was a limerick called The Farmers in the Lady’s Night

Limerick
The Farmer in the Lady’s Night

A farmer walked down the foreign street,
But could not see a single stalk of wheat
Sunset, a girl said to him.
Ten gets ya BDSM
But he replied, Cow! Not Bean D’rived Soy Meat!


Last semester I actually took one of my old white t-shirts, a black sharpie, and a homemade stencil of printer paper. It came out looking about as good as the previous paragraph makes it sound, but now I one of dem dare professional lookin ones.
The original shirt actually had line changeup. A common change on my part, “Bean D’rived Soy Meat!” became Bio Degradable Soy Meat!” I don’t think it is quite as good though.
I’ll get pictures up of both shirts one of these days to make the compariso because opposing popular belief, I’m not a buff black guy. Maybe I can even squeeze another Bloggaday out of it.

Bloggaday 17 Global Phenomenon of the Winter Sorts

Bloggaday 17 Global Phenomenon of the Winter Sorts

Ah, another day, another Blogga. But what ever shall I write about? Maybe I should do one about a huge global event. Something that doesn’t happen too often, but is still a huge cultural event, relevant even being thousands of years old. Now, I don’t want to write this piece before it starts. I suppose doing it in the middle wouldn’t be acceptable. I’d probably want to do this a few days after it ends so I could be fashionably late.
So what could I write about? Hey look, I’m already at 100 words. See you tomorrow.

Bloggaday 16 – TheAvatarJourney Preview – Katara

This AvatarJourney project is dragging. Facebook is much more picky about their members than myspace. Rather than actually creating facebook accounts for each character, it looks like I’m going to have to just create fan pages. Rather disappointing, but se la vie. Here’s a preview for episode two.

Bloggaday 16 – TheAvatarJourney Preview – Katara

Katara Book 1 Chp 2

I never should have went on the ship with @Aangjourney

I’m leaving with @Aangjourney !

Okay, maybe not

I can’t believe they made Aang leave!

The Fire Nation ship is here

Aang is back! And he’s the Avatar? But he’s not blue, and he has 5 fingers

Is going with @Sokkajourney to rescue the Avatar


Blog

Once we got back to the tribe, everybody overreacted. Gran Gran and Sokka both jumped on Aang and me for going into the ship. Sokka even thought Aang did it on purpose! After they kicked him out, I decided to take him up on his offer to take me to the Northern Watertribe… only Aang said I shouldn’t. So he left on Appa.
Later that day, there was an earthquake, or so I thought. A ship came with the lunch fog. It was a Fire Nation Ship, but the men who came off of the ship were looking for the Avatar. Sokka tried fighting them off, but it only made the main one upset. Just as he was about to hurt Sokka, Aang came back. He told us all that he was the Avatar, so he went with the men so they wouldn’t hurt us.
Once they left, we all had to start putting the tribe back together. I was going to try to convince Sokka to help me rescue Aang, but for once, he was ahead of me. We took Aang’s bison and it even flew. We finally caught up to the ship, but only in time to see Aang get knocked off of the ship. But then he came out of the water in this huge wave and took care of the Fire Nation soldiers. We went down to take him away, but more soldiers came. I was able to freeze them while we made our escape. Just before we got away, the boy that took Aang from us at the tribe and an older soldier sent a huge blast of fire at us, but Aang was able to blow it into a mountain that caused an avalanched to fall on the ship.

Bloggaday 15 – BS and Looking to 50 Weeks

Bloggaday 15 – BS and Looking to 50 Weeks


Alright folks. The first two weeks of my Bloggaday are done. They were my warmup, wait, I think (warmup) is two word. You know, like “warm up” rather than “warmup.” Anyways, the first two weeks were my warm up. Now, its time to kick some ass and take some names with my last 50 weeks of this. Granted, the first two weeks were filled to the brim with bullshit, but no more! No siree, wait is that how you spell “sir-ee”? I don’t no, whoops, “know”. Anyways, there shall not be another drop of bullshit in the last 351 days of Bloggaday. Wait, is next year a leap year? It doesn’t matter; Bloggaday ends before the next February, so, “Ha, stupid leap year. I laugh at you and your stupid orthopedic correctional shoes.”
Where was I? That’s right, no more bullshit, you have my guarantee on that. Nope, no more bs. Wait, is that like post script: “P.S.”? So bullshit would be “B.S.”? Maybe just “BS.” Hmm, quite the quandary we have here. Wait, is it “quite the quandary” or “quite the conundrum.” Maybe the conundrum has caused a quandary.
I seem to be getting somewhat off-topic. You know, the no more bullshit. Hmm, I should probably use BS (yes I decided to go all caps, no periods) since it’s a bit more appropriate. That is something I have wrestled with on this TWC (also toned down considerably for language). Since a future podcast venture might draw a slightly more conservative crowd. Then again, they won’t read this, so meah.
So bullshit, eh? If you thought that horseshit had any semblance of truth, you haven’t heard my first two failed podcast ventures: The Davidian Cast at http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-davidian-cast/id287931114
And The DJ Show at http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dj-show/id320469532 (most of which never made it to iTunes because ourmedia.org $#($ &^(%!#& #^)~$@%$ (edited for legal and decency reasons)
I suppose my advice would be to put on you shit-kicking boots, because you are in for daily-doses of bullshit for a year. Atleast it’ll be FEANBA (No foul language in that one. But I will explain at a later Bloggaday)
