"Restarting Space 2315" by Tom

July 25, 2010

Space 2315 is going to be restarted but most likely won't be posted here at Darkscribes until the story is finished. Why? Well, it comes down to the fact that we've not had any input on the story. I'd love to have our story hosted here but unless people give us feedback it doesn't make sense to post it here.

Chapter 7 as we know it today is going to be effectively scrapped. We wrote ourselves into a corner and we've been beating our collective heads against the wall for the last year and a half and getting nowhere. That has been the reason why we've not been posting any new chapters, we don't have any. We're going to continue on with Chapter 8 and move it down the line so that it becomes the new chapter 7 and weave some (less than 10%) of the elements of the old Chapter 7 into it.

"Anime, Japan and Garuda" by Zero B.D.

July 25, 2010

Life... is going pretty well for me. Nothing bad to say except for the fact that my car is still busted; I still owe the university 1.5k; and that I haven't exercised in two months. Overall nothing too serious. However, there are also major ups in my life and I guess thats what the main topic about today's blog will be about.

Anime

Now considering the fact that I'm on this site, it's pretty safe to assume I'm a fan of anime. And I must say that 2010 has not dissappointed me so far. Although Angel Beats' ending kinda threw off my groove. BUT! I will not let that lead my passionate soul into ruin! The Winter 2010 season possibly made me for the first time actually consider being gay about a male character. Baka to Test's "hidden suprise" support character Kinoshita Hideyoshi. My instincts then gave way to another favorite of the winter season, Hanamaru Kindergarten. Produce by Gainax its one of those shows that you watch, and then you demand a figure of every cosplay Hii-chan. When I heard that Kugimiya Rie and several other of my favorite seiyuus where cast in Ladies vs Butlers, I knew I'd love it. And it was true. Several other releases also made this a very busy season. Hellsing Ultimate Vol. 7, Aki Sora, Katanagatari, Halo Legends and Dante's Inferno.

Spring followed up with another massive dose of favorites. Heroman, a combine effort from Stan Lee and studio Bones was a suprise with its characters and settings being all American. Something that you don't usually see in anime or manga. Angel Beats was a product I slowly was pulled into. With the media comparing it with Haruhi and even one of my friends ranting about how awesome it was. I must say that the show up to the last episode was really well done. Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou, the harem anime, the first episode almost had me believe that this was going to be something similar to Zero no Tsukaima. Oh, how wrong I was. Besides the blatent fan service and cenorship, I honestly loved the characters. Working! Another one of those anime where you see the cast and have a gut feeling you'll like it. Yes, yes I did. K-ON season 2... if you watched season 1 and loved it... well theres no need for words then. KissXSis, I pretty sure the phrase "Incest is best" is right for the tv version of one of my favorite mangas. Unfortunately cenorship got there claws on this one and it was only mid way through the season that I found a slightly less censored version. Gundam Unicorn... a UC Gundam anime? Yes please! I don't care how long it takes I will wait paitently for episode 2 of this OVA. Negima is that last piece of my spring season and it was every bit delicious as the manga is. Also my Evangelion 2.22 dvd is my most precious possesion in my room currently.

I won't say much about the summer season as it is still in progress. However I can at least tell you about the anime I'm currently watchin. Katanagatari, K-ON!, HIgh School of the Dead, Amagami SS, Mitsudomoe, Heroman, Asobi ni Iku yo. Okami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~. Oh and Black Rock Shooter just came out today.

Damn talking about Anime really took up alot of my time. So, I just leave it at that and next time I'll talk about my plans for my Japan trip 2010 and how Operation Garuda Shield went.

"Space 2315... On permanent hold" by Tom

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:35:16

July 22, 2010

Space 2315, the story my brother and I were writing is now on permanent hold. The files have been archived (ZIPed up) and the original files have been deleted. Honestly, with the way things are going in my life (and my brother's life), I don't think we'll ever finish the story and it will probably die off eventually. We just don't have the time to be able to devote to the story.

Plus, not only that but my brother has all but made the final decision to go into the United States Air Force. That alone will put the story on hold. As for myself, I need to start reconsidering my academic life and start looking at getting a degree. Again, that will put our story on hold.

We will still have the files to write the story if we decide to resurrect it but I just don't see how we're going to be able to do it considering that I want to really start going to school and get my degree and my brother will most likely be in Basic Training within the next couple of months.

Hmmm let ambivalence overcome you.

Mixed emotions, something we all feel, that come at the random times.

Honestly, I don't like talking about myself. Yes yes yes, im not selfish like I ues to be looking out for myslef and myself only.

I meet this young man named Micheal. I meet him at my friends graduation party, congrats Briana, and we talked til he left. I talked to him about school, El Paso, rough times, and other personal vendettas I've had. We need more people like Micheal.

He is a humble person, I have never meet anyone as humble as him. He didn't brag about self, only the times he made a difference in someone elses life. I respected him, as a I would my brother. When I saw him, personally, he resmebled me, but a little older.

I can tell when he goes home every night, he is welcomed warmliy by his family. I can see it, helping him was something I liked to do. More or less, he helped me in a huge way. He supplied me answers that I've been looking for. Problems in school, problems with friends, problems in general. Like a brother, I can see his caring spirit.

Yo Micheal, this blog is for you. Made a huge impact in my life. Be safe, God bless you, and have a great time here in El Paso.

I'm out for the night, all have a safe evening. I wish no harm on no soul, love one another. Might help you with your stuggle, meeting someone that is like Micheal.

"Congratulations" by PacmanJ

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:20:54

June 2, 2010

On another year of staying out of trouble. There have been ups and downs, this year. More ups then downs, I can't complain. Why that ridiculous title? Well, it's just what it is, a title.

I say congrats to:

Dante Ransom, you finally found God. On fifth sunday, I saw you quote great and powerful scriptures from the bible. You don't know how proud you made me. I wanted to cry, personally I didn't think you would find him so soon. Congrats, DJ.
Latrell Ransom, glad to have you back. UT can get rough and all of the partying and thugs over there. Im grateful that you didn't turn gangsta, if you did oh well, praising God you didn't.
My Mother and Father, greatest parents, they have raised a demon child into a gentleman. Teaching me from right and wrong. Scenarios that they create for me, and I say, " I never thought about it that way." To you mom and dad, never change. Ever.
Kyle Baldwin, homie, the USAF might be what you want to do. I didn't agree with it, but I respect those who serve their country well. You will make a great commander, or whatever you want to do.
Ghetto Superstars at lunch, all of you improved me, physically and mental. Learning Spanish to learning how to make unbelievable goals. Kudos.
To all the seniors I know, enduring this crazy year of school, I'm surprised. Kudis number 2.
To all my good and great friends, Thank you for standing by a weak soul like mine. All of you don't realize this, maybe you do or not, that when I talk to all of you, a peice of you is embedded into my mind and soul. Which betters me, and builds me up. Without all of you, I think that I would've committed suicide, sold drugs, held others at gunpoint, and become the worst person. Thank you God you deserve credit, and to all my family and friends.

Congratulations to all of the those that are prospering and doing well. To those who are doing worst then others, keep your head up, at least you are still living and haven't hit rock bottom yet.

Thank You, Alexa, opening doors and helping me find new ones to open. Guess it takes a death to realize something. Congrats, Alexa, you're living in a better place.

"Home Run!!! May 11th Full Of Surprises With All My Friends Today! (The End)" by PacmanJ

Tue, 11 May 2010 07:08:57

May 11, 2010

Whew! Where do I start?! I had the best day of my life today!

1st period.

Visual Media

Antonio came back to class! (No Homo, but the guy is recovering from surgery) He was ready to start a new chapter in his book, which I think its very funny. He is a smart, and intellectual person, it was good having him back. I can talk with someone about my stories now.

Second Period.

Math Models

I almost fell off of a desk! I was taking peoples kites from the ceiling and i missteped and then i hesitated. I quickly jumped off and landed before the desk can take me. Argh Stupid Desk! Then Selena, a great friend, that made me laugh the whole period, she can be a comedian and always comments on my ethnicity. Martha and Domonic, superb athletes, make the spark of the whole class, without them, it would be boring. Well Mr. Castor makes the class more entertaining. Never looked at math the same way. Then Stephanie was crying. ='( I looked at her and deep down I wanted to cry. No one should be sad like the way she was. I dug deep down into my soul and wrote her something from my heart. She shouldn't cry like, I dislike seeing a friend sad because all of us are alike and when she felt sad, I felt sad. So Martha and I worte something and I believe that when you show a person love and support, it shows them that you really care.

LUNCH! (Yes I consider lunch a class period -.-) I went to get food and I stumbled on some friends. This time it was Ale and her boyfriend, Nelson. We talked about the Snickers Commercial and how we love the east coast, well me and Nelson did. I shared my Snickers with, becuase no meal should go without a dessert. So we ate that and Nelson talked about Georgia and I talked about Alabama. Georgia Peaches and Florida Oranges, when you travel, food always comes into play. When I departed from them, I told Ale that she would have to come and visit the East coast with us. Be a blast. Next person, I saw was Cindy, oh boy, where do i start? She is simply stunning, I can't see how I missed her in the hallways of school. She makes me laugh harder then Selena sometimes. Believe me, she is a great athlete, so is her friends. I meet them while i was going to get my stuff. Amy, Paulina, Katy, and Juile. All great athletes and they have the best humor. Im glad to see Amy off her crutches! I can say that she is a determined young lady, and now she can walk again! Hooray!

3rd and 4th period weren't interesting.

After school, I talked to Shams! She is a great person from a different country, i mean her culture is great and is something i am williing to learn. Shams and I walk to her locker everyday. She is simply amazing, intellectual and great personality.

If you noticed, this day is great and I had so much fun.

The last blog was sorrow. The Beginning of Sorrow. I wrote that because I was going throught some time of sorrow and despire.

Now this is The End of Sorrow, we all had a blast and had great conversations. To All of my friends, this is for you guys! Next is the Knock on Heaven's Door. Get ready, its going to be wild!

The reason why I call it Home Run, becauses when I hit off on the right subject it sails and its already good. Meaning that I didnt step on anyone's toes and that it was out of the park =)

"It Isn't Adding Up... (The Beginning)" by PacmanJ

Tue, 04 May 2010 03:01:56

May 4, 2010

Why is it so hard for someone to accept certain things?

If you can't accept the action of a person, why accept the person? It's like getting a gift, from that person and just throwing it back in their face.

Human beings. They're a mysterious bunch of people. Minds can't be made up, minds are confused, and they can't distinguish reality from a dream. Recently, I found out that I have mutiple personalities in different people.

Example: My mom sees me as her son (obviously), My sister sees me as a pest (nothing new), and Daquan sees me as a faithful and true friend.

One other thing, is that distance makes the human race, cry out for more attention. Of course, they don't want to be alone, but when you find yourself alone, you think. When you think, you analyze your problems and you look over the mistakes you've made. You also accept the mistakes you've made. When they finally accept that fact they can pull themselve out of the dark, disolate, world. Once they pull themselves out of loneliness and darkness, they yearn for the touch of another human being. Comfort and warmth makes a human feel safe. I don't think that I can feel that way...

I don't think I'm human anymore..... I have become enigmatic. No feelings toward people, no reactions to the outside world, no more hatred or love. I have a preplexed mind, and a way of expressing myself, that no one knows.

The mind of the human is fragile, it's like a orange. You beat it long enough it wears out and then it busts. That bust is a psychological barrier that is broken, from striaght train of thought to brain dead.

A breakdown can be the result of this method above. ^

I had another dream. I was in the near future 2018, 2012 was a hoax, everyone had peace again, the war ended. Everything was better, we dug-out of the recession, and became one as a people. I was living in Brooklyn, New York, after I graduated college. I don't remember were i went to college, but it wasn't important. At the age of 26, i had a great paying job. A true friend in NY. But in this dream it wasn't a happy ending...

I was at a bar late Novemeber night. I had a few, i was able to stand, but i was tipsy, walking out the door of the bar I see this girl. Young girl, with red hair, abandoned, she lived on the streets. I want to help the young girl, but she ran. I started running after her, into a dark alley. Once I saw the alley, she was at a stop. The young girl had ran into a dead-end. I got close to her, and then a halo like figure appeared above her head. It grew bigger and more visible. The girl ran, out of the alley, I soon followed.

We continued to run and then the figure uprooted itself from the ground and took her foot. I wrapped my hands around it and tugged. The figure attached to me, and it started growing on me, rather then the girl. She looked and ran into the park that we stopped in. She watched as I was being eatin by the mysterious figure. The Halo creature started to dig into my skin, surging through my veins. I felt one with that creature as I was seeing thing through it's eyes. The little girl looked deep inside herself and ran back to help me. She tugged and tugged, but it was useless. I pushed her lightly away from me, because I knew only one was need for this. She stayed back and she tried to cry, instead of her crying, I started crying.

She asked, "Why are you crying mister?" wailing to me.

I said softly, " I don't know."

The figure dug deeper and deeper into my body, and I felt this surge of power. The power could be used to create life or destory it. I decided one thing to save that little girl, so I destoryed my own life. I curled into a ball, created a sheild around myself and imploded. I save the little girl.

When I woke up I realized that I was crying and there were strands of tears rolling from my eyes. My dream symbolized how one person can make a difference in anothers life. Weither it's saving their lives or giving them advice, wise advice. If you don't like the person, you strongly dislike, just be nice to them. The little girl in my dream didn't like me. Of course, i was a stranger, but she did the right thing and saw that I need help. She didn't have to help, but she did. Don't hold a grudge, it only eats at you like a parasite.

When you feel a certain emotion for that special human being tell them. Then you can accept the fact, that you are being honest with them and yourself. You can stop hiding that fear and that truth. The Truth will set you free.

When another person says I love you, how do you feel? Warm? Fuzzy? Not alone?

Human can be the strangest creatures, but when they use that word LOVE they can be the same.

When one hasn't felt that affection in so long, they would do anything for it. I mean anything as well.

But there is 2 kinds of love.

Unconditional and Conditional

Unconditional= Regardless if that person treats you wrong, you will still love them. THATS the true love.

Condition= If that person treats you wrong, you love them to a certain point.

I ran into a couple and she treated him wrong.

I simply asked, "When she did that, how did you feel?"

He answered, " I wanna kill her!"

Waving my hands in front of his face, "No you don't! Don't you want to show her, you forgave her?"

He looked at me like I was a martian, "Why forgive if she treated me wrong?"

"Because, forgiveness ensures that you completely love her! That you have gotten past that dilemma and you know can move on with your relationship. A stronger relationship."

He listened to me. They have been together for 2 long years, one simple mistake didn't screw with them. Thats unconditional love. That is the love we need to see more of. Life is too short to be foolish! I can't talk because I didn't show it before! I was alone, I thought, and i realized my mistake! I realized that i must accept my mistake! If you do that you can reach a new level of love!

A new level of mentality!

A new level of maturity!

A new level of....life.

Don't betray your heart or your soul, that is what makes all of us human. It's what makes us unique, and special. Our world is dying, we need more love, more support, more friends who will be there for you when your sick. When you need cloths, When your thristy or hungry. When you need change to buy something that you need instead of want.

This is the beginning, next will be the end and then it will be the knock on heavens door...

Love is the true answer.

"Back at it again..." by Zero B.D.

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:17:26

April 29, 2010

Two years since my first blog for the site and not much ha- Fuck it, a lot has changed. From my commander in chief to my addiction with wow, the world around me has changed. Is it for better or for worse, I'll give it another year before I figure it out. Since 2008 I've done many things, went to Germany to help with NATO, went to Japan twice and even got to attend the 76th Comic Market, and was able to kill the lich king. Okay, so that last part isn't true but one day I swear... One day! Anyways back to topic starting with Germany.

Going to Germany was my first trip to the European continent. My unit was on a training mission assisting NATO forces. Thats all I can and will say without going into too much detail cause the anti-terror class we had recently is making me paranoid. Like burn any papers I get from the government paranoid. I think the census was one of them. But I will say this about Germany. Best. Beer. On. The. Planet. And it comes in gallons!

Japan 08/09 trips. Oh Japan... I fuckin love that place. My 2008 trip wasn't anything special. Got a few figurines from Akiba, visit maid cafes, went on tours and got laid at a massage palor... Moving on. The 2009 trip is the best time I had in Tokyo in the past 4 years since I've been going. I mean, I got to attend Comiket, bought doujinshi from the actual circles, saw awesome cosplay, figured out where the best maid cafes where, got a membership card from my favorite hotel, bought myself a SUICA card, went to another massage palor, bought the new Eva Unit-02 movie edition, and got to see my new all time favorite movie. Evangelion 2.0 in theaters. Who cares if I'm not fluent enough to understand Japanese, I know enough to get the gist of it. (Not to sound weird but all of a sudden my depth perseption has failed me...) Hopefully 3.0 will top this and if it comes out in the summer or winter, I'll definatly go and watch it.

My local life has been... Ok, nothing too bad, nothing too good. Wow has been pretty much reduce to Wed/Fri/Sun deal. Tried out the other college on island. Operation Garuda Sheild, now I don't know much about the overall mission but I do know that my platoon will be heading in to build some structures. Oh, almost forgot gonna start up airsoft again till someone buys these damn guns. Until next time, later.

Also I'm gonna start writing again, yea!

"Believe That!" by PacmanJ

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:28:44

April 18, 2010

When I was working today in my church, i had plenty time to think. Right now im going through a mental, and emotional downfall. (Those who know great, those who don't. Eh oh well) So I talked to Dante, my friend I've known for i don't know how long said that there was something wrong.

"Hector, what's wrong?"

"I can't stop thinking about her."

"Still?"

"Yes!" I replied, "She was more then a girl, more then a best friend!"

"Hector, if you can't stop thinking, how are you going to get anywhere in life? She will be fine there will be another chance down the road."

"I won't be here when that chance comes! I want that chance now!" I kept battling him.

"Look. You have to have patience. Are you happy for her?"

"Yes, I am but..."

"But what? Take responsiblity for your mistake and accept the fact that you screwed up. Your human and you can't help it."

I was silent, he was using my advice I had told him a long time ago.

"Hector, remembered what you said? To me."

I nodded my head, " No. What did I say?"

"Keep ya head up! There will always be another chance and there will be a time and a place for it! Never give up and have a good mind for that journey! Do you remember now?"

I looked up and was shocked. I was shocked to see that the answer to my question was in my words that were deeply in-rooted in my friend... He has been through it all. Break-ups, cheating girls, gold-diggers, the ones that always use you. I've helped him through it all and now he helps me. I was happy and I looked up and saw my hope and my faith. God helped both of us realize that. When I look up at the sky, I see two people. Alexa and Nikki. I founded out that Alexa was my inspiration, she gives me a sudden intuition. Like a angel that guides me through the day. Nikki is my motivation, she makes me reach a higher mentality, a higher purpose, and higher well-being. On the verge of passing out, in a game I was playing with friends, I hit the grass hard. Laying on my back, not moving a single muscle. Fatigued and mentally exhausted. I looked up in the sky and almost closed my eyes. As I squinted, I saw her face. I immediately rose on to my feet and felt energized.

Back to the subject at hand, we keep talking.

"So Hector what is next?"

"I don' really know...But all I know is that I have to move forward."

"Good, it's a start. Now when you get that license on Monday, come over to da house. Shoot, always telling me that there are good places to hang-out but never invite me."

I chuckled and laughed at him. Then i looked up to the sky and smiled becuase that's what Alexa wanted from me. Nikki would want the same thing too if she was standing right in front of me.

Life goes on, even if Nikki does find someone else. I show no hatred to her, as a best friend and as a older one =P ( Boy im getting old). I should support her and be a shoulder she will lean on. Isn't that what a true friend does? He goes out of his way and helps her? Yes, I agree whole heartedly.
