Once there was an apprentice with an armload of scrolls, who asked of the wizened old sage: "Master what are the harmonies of the Earth?"
"Come!" said the teacher, "Bask with me in the Sunlight, Bathe with me in the Moonlight." By the edge of a softly flowing stream, where water-bugs sketched rings among ripples, he sat him down and leaned against the trunk of a willow, whose branches were a stage for a bluebird's song. The master closed his eyes.
With great impatience the boy stood, walked in circles, snapped twigs, placed pebbles in piles, blew a blade of grass into music. "I ask you again, Master: What are the harmonies of the Earth?" Without a word the scholar arose, pushed his pupil into the river and watched cat-tails nod in agreement.

KISA abounds! Yayness!

Lots of KISA to report. That and some other junk, but KISA first! We've got a new member, Squire Mark. Yes, he's a Squire already due to his actions he's told me in the past. So welcome him, as an Ambassador of Valience no less! Yay! Page Megs also has a rank increase. She is a Squire as well. Check this out: On her way home, she noticed a woman chasing a lot of papers on a windy day, so she stopped to help the lady. Very noble to help one in distress. She also saved a boy heartbreak by ending the relatinship before things got too weird/awkward/serious. Thats being Honest, which is appropriate since she is an Ambassador of Honesty. See how it all works out? Finally, a friend (Marcus) of hers is dating someone she's not particularly fond of (another girl named Megan). However, when she learned another girl was out to steal Marcus away, she stood up and defended the other Megan, because she didn't want thier relationship ruined. Thats quite a sacrifice to defend someone you don't really care for, but extremly noble nonetheless. Excellent work Squire Megs! I expect more great things from you.

In other news, I'm psyched out of my mind. A fellow KISA member, Page Lenalia, is on a school band trip starting tomorrow morning. She'll be in my area as of this coming Monday! We've never even met face-to-face, so this is exciting for me. It's also the first person i've met online to actually meet in person. Yeah, i know what you all are thinking. "She's probably some 40-year old weird dude who gets a kick out of acting like a girl to get guys to meet him" I have this base covered thank you. Aside from pictures, I've also talked to her friends who say she is who she says she is, as well as the fact we've talked on the phone. If she's some old weird dude, he can disguise his voice pretty well! Have a safe trip! I'm looking forward to meeting ya!

Till next time Fellow KISA members!

More KISA mentions, and a general look at life

First off, I would like to make mentions on 2 of our members. Squire Mateo assisted a maiden who had a package scattered in the school hallway. Young Mateo helped the maiden retrieve her belongings, even though it made him late to his own class. Sacrifice your own time to help others, for that is restoring the code. Well done Squire Mateo!
Page Eadoin is also worthy of mention. I've been told she has been key in diffusing many a fight and arguement between friends and others. Keeping the peace is vital to restoring the overall fabric of the world. Excellent work Page Eaodin, or should I say, Squire Eaodin. All welcome Squire Eaodin!
I'm currently processing the paperwok on another Knight, known so far as Mark. Let's see how he does eh?

My general look at life? I actually don't know why I put that there, just wanted a catchy title I guess. Oh well. Thats all for now as i'm tired. Keep up the good work KISA members!

Woot! I am Dragon!

                        
You are a silver dragon. The rarest kind of dragon. You are noble yet avoid humans as much as possible. You are the guardian of the defensless and you rule the skies.

KISA Springs to Action!

Wow! Would you look at all those names over there on the side! All those people have joined KISA! Wooot! I am happy to report I have my first few reports of Chivalry. Page Mateo asked me if giving a bag of animal crackers to a hobo counts. Of course it does! Feeding the hungry was a major job of the Knights Templar during thier crusades. And they did it even if it made them poor in the process! I have confirmed from Mateo that this was indeed an act of kindness he committed. Therefore, I shall raise his rank to Squire!. All welcome Squire Mateo!

I am pleased to greet one of our newer members, Page Danielle, and thank her on a job well doneas well!  I received word about her actions and assitance in helping her mother with household duties and keeping her brother focused away from the TV while her father is away. She has taken up duties incuding laundry, dishwashing and so forth, as well as helping her mother design a curriculum. I'm assuming her mother is a teacher. As well as helping around at home, she has told me she is helping a friend at school to get organized and structured. She doesn't want her friend to repeat any classes. This is excellent work Page Danielle, and is just the sort of thing I'm talking about. Restoring the code, helping the needy and assiting when others need help. Congratulations Page Danielle. I hereby raise you to Squire. All welcome Squire Danielle!

Troubling times these are....

I must apologize to all of you for my lack of communication and updates recently. The reason is both twofold as well as good/bad news. I have recently come across several new game sin the past week or so, such as Champions of Norrath, 007 Jmaes Bond Everything or Nothing, and the long awaited GC version of Harvest moon arrived today. As you can imagine, my focus has been there instead of her recently. Aside from that, it looks as if I may have to take a hiatus from being online as it is anyway. Caroline's mother recently lost her job at the airport due to some pricks who hate successful women. For those of you unaware, I live with my wife Caroline and her mother (my mother-in-law) in thier house. The way our finances have been split was like this: Caroline paycheck as well as my own went towards everything inside the house. I.E. groceries, supplies, bills, etc. My mother-in-laws check, the entire thing, went towards paying the mortgage. Since she has been fired, Caroline and I now have to pick up the slack until she finds a new job. That means working 10 hour days instead of 8, 5 days a week and possibly weekends. If not at our current place of employment, then possibly a second job. This has been putting a great deal of stress on us all and I would appreciate your prayers and well-wishes while we get thru this rough spot. Thank you all.

Join the Ranks of KISA!

Ha ha! I actually have something to put all my minion followers to work on! Gather round young ones, and I shall tell you of a tale long past. In the ancient days of yore, many noble and just beings known as Knights rode over the lands of Europe. They carried with them in thier hearts, a code and bond so righteous and true, no evil could ever break it. Sadly, as the times of the noble Knights diminished, so did the code. But all is not lost! A few scattered souls carry the code within them, and know the importance of passing it to future generations. This is the Code of Chivalry. It is a common phrase to be heard now, "Chivalry is dead". Not while I still breath. It is indeed endangered, and I need your help to make sure it stays alive, and the world doesn't go completly to hell. I think my past entries are proof were are heading down a very bad path, so it is time for The Knights In Shining Armor (KISA) to pick up thier swords and heed the call!

So I ask you minions, join my cause. Together we can make this world a better place. If you are indeed interested in taking up the fight, send me an email at rknight718@earthlink.net  I will reply with a short questionaire. Answer the questions to what you think is right, and I will see if thou art worthy of restoring the Code. In the olden days of Knights, most Chivalrous mannerisms involved protecting the poor and mainly the womenfolk. However, I do realize it is a new millenium and changes will be made for the modern world. Any and all are able and encouraged to apply! Young, Old, Male, Female, any ethnicty, it does not matter. If your heart rings true and feels the sorrow of what this world is coming to, then you shall be granted the title of a KISA! I ask that all members keep me updated regularly of thier activities in the realm regarding the restoration of the Code. I shal post any news uppon this blog, and you are encouraged to spread word of your own good deeds among your own lines of communication (blog, e-mail, etc) Send any and all possible to recruits to me, and I shall see to it that they recieve the title they deserve.

Do whatever you can to help restore faith in the Code! Help the needy, feed the hungry, etc. Even something as simple as holding a door open for someone is one more piece of the tarnished Code restored. We all need to do our part to keep faith in the human race uplifted. Join me, and we shall see to it together!

Proof Stupid People Exist and That They are an Endangerment to Members of my Family

This entry involves something that happened to someone related to me. However, in a ongoing quest of Anonominity...Anonomouness...keeping people's names out of it, the names of the people have been changed to protect the innocent. The related party, whom I shall call "Zeke" was asked by a recently new employee for a ride home. We shall call this employee "Kent" and it is Kent who is the stupid person of the day. Zeke and his friend "Stone" had picked up Kent and were driving home when a police crusier flashed his lights and Zeke to pulled over. Zeke was not worried about the officer finding anything, and he told his passengers as such. The officer approached and asked for license and registration, which were promptly handed over. The reason Zeke had been stopped was due to a burned out light which illuminated the license plate. Not a problem, just needs to be fixed. The officer thought something was amiss and asked if he could have a drug dog sniff the car. Again, Zeke had no issues with this, as he swore him and his friend were clean. He did mention however that he didn't know much about Kent. To Zeke, Kent was just a fellow employee he was giving a ride home to. The dog pointed to the back seat door. The officers asked Kent to come out of the car, but Kent was unable to respond, as he was busy stuffing his face with Marajuana to hide it from the cops. The officers handcuffed all 3 people, and had an ambulance come for Kent as he had ingested a LOT of MJ. The other 2 were released after it was all taken care of. Now that you have the story, here's my thoughts.

Kent had just been released from prison, and Zeke knew that. Strike one. Kent had been in prison for drug related charges. Strike two. How do you not notice the guy in your backseat wolfing down a whole bag of a leafy green substance?!?! And Kent! Why the hell would you injest that much! Holy crap! It had to be a fair amount to get an ambulance. But you're there stuffing your face with it as the cops ask you to step out of the car! At that point, admit defeat and stop cramming your face with drugs. Thats gonna be a whole other charge now. Possession AND attempting to destroy evidence! And he just got out of prison for the same reason! Next time officers, just leave him in there and spare my family the hassle of dealing with idiots like this. And Zeke, if you know someone has had drug related offenses, chances are they'll do it again. Some people just never learn, and Kent is proof. On a completly different note, I would ask that everyone wish Stone good luck, as Zeke just saw him off. Stone has joined the Army. Do some good out there Stone, and come back alive.

Proof we're all Going to Hell (If it exists)

Hello and welcome to the official spin-off of "Proof stupid people exist" called "Proof we're all going to Hell (if it exists)". This entry does not neccesarily consist of stupid people. I can't call them stupid because I was laughing so hard I couldn't get the word out.

Exhibit A: A nun crashed her tractor into a car outside her church. The nun was drunk on wine and attempted to drive her tractor down the road. She swerved and I imagine slowly plowed into a car outisde the building. The cops stated she "was in no fit state to take a breathalyzer test" Thats pretty bad if you're so drunk you can't even blow into a tube. I see the headlines now..."Drunk Nun Gets DUI on John Deere" or "When Nuns Go WILD!!" Some sort of deity has to be up there groaning and holding his head in dismay after this happened.

Exhibit B: In a nursing home in Flordia (duh, where else?) the tenants of the home were enjoying a lunch at thier very own salad bar. I don't know any names (nor would I use them) so I will refer by age. A 62 year old was picking thru the lettuce, deciding which pieces he wanted. An 83 year old told 62 to "stop fondling the lettuce ya child molester" or something to that effect. Whatever was said, 62 punched out 83! A 78 year old ran over to stop the fight, and 62 bit 78! 62's mom ran to help his son, and she got knocked out too! I presume by 83. The rest of the patrons scuffled out of the cafeteria as fast as thier walkers and wheelchairs would let them, and the fight was broken up by the home's staff.

Drunk nuns driving tractors and senior citizens fighting at a salad bar? We are all SOOOOOO doomed.

Chainsaws, Biting, and......the Anti-Christ?

Welcome back everyone for another edition of "Proof Stupid People Exist"! I've kinda lost count as to which one this should be (yes, I know I could just look at my previous entry, but I'm tired of numbering them, ok?) Anyway this one, as the title suggests, covers some very interesting subjects. Let's tackle them in order shall we?

Stupid person #1: A performance artist's gig was to lie down on the stage and have her bra cut off by a guy wielding a chainsaw. I have NO idea what she was trying to say with the piece, but then neither do most people about the Mona Lisa. Boobs are Boobs in my book. However, during one said presentation the artist flinched. Yup. Chainsaw hacked up her boob pretty bad. Last heard she was recovering and was doing fine. She was quoted as saying "this was the worst experience of my life". I could imagine so, but considering her previous employment? What was it, I hear you cry? She was a porn star in germany that involved getting...um..."poo'ed" on. Thats kinda rates as worse than getting cut up in my book, but to each thier own as I say.

Stupid Person #2: A father and his family were watching thier child play in a school basketball game. There were 2 referees in the game. Know where this is headed yet? No? Read on, it gets better. The kid's team lost, not because of lack of effort on the kids part, or anyoe elses, or even the referee. They just lost, plain and simple. Well, time to load up the team and tell them "We'll do better next time", right? Not to "Dad". He charges one of the ref's and attacked him. Not with a sucker punch or anything though. The father BIT the ref. Why the hell would you bite someone? Be a man and punch the guy if you're that pissed about it. I'm not saying hitting the ref would be better in this case, but at least save the kid some grief at school. Now he has to be known as the kid who's dad bit the ref. Actually no, I have that wrong. The dad bit BOTH ref's. One on the hand, the other on the head. I really don't know how you bite a head, but again, if you're gonna attack a ref, be a man and punch him! Whats next? Hair pulling and cat fighting? Mud wrestling? Ick.

Stupid Person #3: Actully this should be called "Stupid PEOPLES 3". I'm sure you all know about Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion of Christ". I personally have no interest in seeing this movie. Not because of my own religious beliefs, but just because its basically a 2-hour gore and tourture fest. No interest whatsoever. Anyway, there is a theater in Georgia that was showing this movie. As some of you may know, Georgia is part of America's "Bible belt" There are a lot of religious people in that section. This particular theater identifies it's movies with an numeric code on each ticket. Each movie has it's own number. It's just how they keep track of what they have had there and what they have not yet showed. In an ironic twist, or maybe a Deity's warped sense of humor, the ID number for "The Passion of Christ" was 666. If you're not aware of the irony, I will explain. It is stated in the Bible that the number 666 is the "number of the beast" or the Devil's number. Many movie patron's were shocked, scared, offended, etc. A few asked for passes in replacement of thier ticket so they wouldn't have to have the number in thier pocket as they watched the movie. What a punch of supersticious hoo-yees. Its a coincidence. Its just a number. It just happened to be the 666th movie they had showed in the theater. Spooky coincidence? Yes, but get over it or go to another theater.

If you've read this far, you've undoubtly noticed my new music for my blog. Hope you enjoy it, Its on a continous loop. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Elsetime!

Very Busy in this Realm of Crazyness

What a weekend. I know it's seemed like ages since I updated, and for that I apologize. What a sec. No I don't. You all are my slaves under my power! You will check my blog daily! And twice on Sunday! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! (ahem) Anyway, big weekend! Our friend from Tenneesee came down for a little "working vacation" (Hi Steve!!) He's making his own pen and paper RPG. So far, hes already got 55 pages of spells. 55 pages! Imagine the destruction....I don't want to give away too many details, seeing as how its not even copyrighted yet, but as soon as its secure from plagurism thieves I'll let you know all about it. He's been ruinning betas at his place every saturday and from what I've heard its been very successful. Woot to Steve! P.S. to steve: Loving the stuff you let me borrow.
Apart from that, its been the typical grind for us here. I do want to send a special Happy Birthday Wish to Kitty a.k.a Lenalia. I promise the gift is on its way by the time you're reading this. Dunno when it'll get there, but it's coming! Lets see...other worthless crap to blog about to my hordes (6 or 7?) of mindless blog slaves....I'm growing my hair out long! I've usually had it short and handsome looking, but i want your typical RPG hero kinda look. Not doing too bad so far. If I can just get it to stop flaring out where it hits my ears. I don't know how you girls handle this stuff. Now if I can convince Caroline to let me try dying it...(yeah right. I'll let you know how that goes.)
Should have some girl scout cookies tomorrow. Yumness. Also trying to get my hands on Champions of Norrath. Supposed to be a very good Everquesty version of Baulders Gate Dark Alliance. I mean, its made by the same group, so it has to be good, right? Right? Lemme know if any of you have tried it out. RPG Maker 2 is on "indefinite hiatus" while I think of a good idea (and learn scripts.) I do however have TONS of ideas for AMV's (Anime Music Videos) and now I have the program in which to make them! Ha Ha! (triumphant laugh) Have ideas for fun ones, powerful ones, sad ones, etc. However, first I must get the program installed. One step at a time. Anyway, thats all I have for you peeps right now. I do have some "stupid people" material, but I don't feel like writing it right now. I will however tell you it involves a chainsaw and performace artist, as well as another one of those stories about parents taking on school officials/coaches at thier own kid's games. Oy.
