Song of Inspiration: Cut by Plumb

—————————————————

I woke up screaming. Bound to these strange, thick, black wires, it felt like i was suffocating and there was no way out. It was even worse when I reached out and felt the small size of the glass container I was encased in.

Claustrophobia embraced me in a tight vice-like grasp and I could do nothing but panic. Then, just as quickly, I was free.

“Hold her up, damn it. I can’t have this one dying on me, he’ll kill us all.” The cruel female voice filled my ears and made me panic as I tried to breathe evenly, feeling the wires quickly being pulled off of my body.

Someone held my face in their hands and I found myself staring into orbs of bright sapphire, “Breathe. We can’t help you if you don’t try to get through this on your own.”

His voice was warm and gentle, and my mind sensed that he could be trusted.I nodded and he smiled, a small movement of the lips as he pulled the last of the wires from my body.

I thought it would be painful, but I felt nothing at all, just heard the soft click of the wires being pulled free. Once the wires were gone, I was pulled out of the darkness into a brightly lit hallway and into another room.

The room was blindingly white and smelled sterile, like a hospital, but I was laid on the bed as they wrapped bandages around my arms. I stared at the red-haired, blue-eyed boy who spoke to me earlier.

His presence was slightly comforting, but I still felt that edge of panic waiting to come out. As if sensing my unease, he looked at me and smiled.

“Don’t worry. You’ll be safe here.”

It’s sad how easily I believed that lie.

She felt the Mistress’s eyes on her as she took her seat near the window once more, the sun glowing brightly after having just pulled itself free from the horizon, but she made no move to pay any of her attention to the lady who had absolutely ruined whatever chances she had left at a normal life.

“Dear, are you hungry?” A small movement of the head and she knew the Mistress would be irritated.

She rarely ate and denying the fact that she was starving always angered the Mistress. But the girl could not change the fact that she did not trust a single soul in this place anymore.

She couldn’t afford to trust any one of them.

“You haven’t eaten in a week, you need your strength.” Her tone became cruel and harsh, but the girl was oblivious to it.

She was so used to the cold shoulder the Mistress often gave her she no longer cared.

She shook her head again and heard an irritated sigh. “Fine. Starve to death. He can come and clean up your remains when you’re dead.”

The door slammed and she knew she was left alone again.It was comforting, but it left her feeling lonely and hopeless; she was going to be stuck here for the rest of her life.

Or so she thought.

Jet Force Gemini is the Longest Nintendo 64 game
Apr 14th, 2010 by chatank

When I first played Jet Force Gemini was when I was around 7 years old I played it at my Home just after My father’s friend had bought it for me.

The Game was when I first saw very awesome. I just couldn’t stop playing the game. If I remember I think I played the game for about 8 hours from midnight well into Morning.

The Games Graphics were the best for it’s time. and it had Good physics and stuff. the games story begins when Juno, Vela, and the Dog Lupus get Attacked by the Drone army, which look like ants for some reason. they then split from the Ship and take to the nearby planets for refuge.

This is where you begin playing the Game as Juno on the planet Goldwood where your journey begins on the Hunt for your felloe Mates. This game, (Sigh), I’m 17 years of age and I still haven’t passed the game.

Throughout the years the L.A river has been home to many graffiti artist but as of last year it has been reposed by the government and they have erased all the rich history of true L.A art. Definitely one of the saddest days ever.

Gears Montage
Apr 11th, 2010 by Flyboy

I have a rough time making a Gears of War montage. Its pretty much a bunch of clips of you killing opponents. There’s different types of montages, there’s the shotty, boltok, head shot, pretty much there’s a montage for any weapon. Its up to the player what type of weapon they think they are better with. I have made up this new type of head shot. I named it the X-ray head shot unfortunately I don’t have the video ready but I will post when I finish it.

Head shot montage are usually the type that people want to see because head shot are the ones people get excited with the most. People nowadays are trying to come out with new head shots there’s Spider man, Superman, Ice man and other ___man.

Sometimes the head shots might be bots(computers) playing so keep an eye out for some of those.

Here check out this montage

Like a boss by The Lonely Island
Mar 28th, 2010 by Flyboy

Lately I have been cracking up on some Youtube videos. You might have heard of them already The Lonely Island. They make videos which are funny but I like their music videos because Andy Samberg, singer of most of the songs . Their music videos sometime feature a guest. My favorite one would have to be “Like a Boss.”

They released an album named Incredibad and it contains these songs “Lazy Sunday,” “Like A Boss, “J— in My Pants,” “I’m on a Boat,” “We Like Sportz,” “Boombox,” and “D— in a Box” which can all be found on Youtube.

Mar 23rd, 2010 by Flyboy

Lately I have been looking out for any news for Starcraft 2. I have watched all 5 battle reports on Youtube. These battle reports are 1v1 matches between David Kim, Matt Cooper, Yeon-ho Lee.

While they play their match(s) the Dustin Browder, lead designer, and Robert Simpson, an E Sports member, discuss the players techniques, strategy, who has control of the battle, new units( Terran, Protoss, and Zerg), new abilities and some thing that they improved from Starcraft which was release 10 years ago.
