Starting a Habit

As some of you may have noticed (I hope) I haven't been exactly regular with my posts. So as of now I will post something every week. Since I have my pad now I can start doing some short animations. By the way for those who liked the story I will continue it, the weekly posts will alternate in between the animations and the story (and maybe an occasional random post to shake things up a bit). Well, thats all for today... I really hope I can rise up to this task but alas, no worries my friends I will try my best.

Jokez!!!



Hey how everything going. Well as you may have noticed I didn't post a part of the story today, because instead I am going to... post some jokes! Yeah! Ya I know the idea sucks a little but I just wasn't in the mood to write. So here they go:


Funny quotes:


Oscar Levant
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.

Steven Wright
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

Homer Simpson
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'

Demitri Martin
I was asked to name all the presidents. I thought they already had names.


Caution dumb blonde joke is coming up, if by any way you may be offended by these kinds of jokes move on to the next one.-

A blonde and a brunette were walking down a sidewalk and the brunette says,"Hey, look it's a dead bird", the blonde looks up to the sky and says, "Where?"


Two blondes had driven across the country to see Disney World in Florida. As they approached it and got onto the final stretch of highway, they saw a sign saying “Disney World Left!” After thinking for a minute, the driver blonde said “Oh well!” and started driving back home.


Other:

When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old man sitting on a park bench sobbing his eyes out. I stopped and asked him what was wrong.

He told me, 'I have a 22 year old wife at home. She rubs my back every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee.'

I continued, 'Well, then why are you crying?'

He added, 'She makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favourite biscuits, cleans the house and then watches sports TV with me for the rest of the afternoon.'

I said, 'Well, why are you crying?'

He said, 'For dinner she makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favourite dessert and then we cuddle until the small hours.'

I inquired, 'Well then, why in the world would you be crying?'

He replied, 'I can't remember where I live.'

Here's The 3rd

The air was still as if it were dead. Not a sound rode the vast empty chamber. They just stood there staring emptily at each other. Hades, the impatient one of the group, looked around at his comrades. He was bored out of his mind. He wasn’t the type of god that just stood there and did nothing. He was a man (god) of action. Or maybe it was the fact that this was one of the few times he could be out of the underworld and well, he wanted to enjoy it. But he knew he couldn’t just leave the council of gods. Walking out on the gods was not the smartest thing to do; even he knew that. So he just stayed there using all his godly might to resist the overwhelming urge to break the silence. “Uhhh. Why is this taking so long?” He thought. As this last thought left his mind a thunderbolt came crashing down on the polished marble floor. The blast wave, like an angry bull, trampled through the gigantic chamber. Crashing into the spectacular marble columns and bashing it to the enormous golden torches. Now standing were the bolt had once impacted was Zeus, lord of the gods.

“Now, we may begin” he said. He saliently took his seat between Poseidon and Hades. Hermes, messenger of the gods, made a motion suggesting that he had something to say. When seeing this Zeus just bowed his head, giving the winged god permission to speak. As he slowly stood up he began to say, “My fellow gods, I am sure you all know why we are here...”
“No” interrupted Hades thinking it was funny to do so. But Zeus, however, didn’t think the same and without a second thought hurled a lightning bolt at his disrespectful brother. The lightning bolt impacted Hades right in the face, but seemed to do nothing more than silence him.
“Go on” Zeus commanded.
“Well, as I was saying... I hope you are all aware that we’ve got a semi-god gone rouge...”

Well there goes the 3rd part of my first web published story. Hoped you liked it, if you have any comments, questions suggestions, etc. they will be much appreciated. 

Surprise Surprise!?

Well, I know I promised to have a surprise but due to technical problems I could have it ready so I'm going to review a book I read not too long ago.

Is anyone familiar with the Artemis Fowl series? No? There is a total of seven novels (and two graphic novels of the first and seconds’ novels). However, the book I am reviewing is none other than the last (but not final) book if the series- "Atlantis Complex". Throughout the fist books of the saga Artemis Fowl, main character, is depicted as a boy genius. He lost his father at an early age and because of this his mother went nuts. He decided to take on the task of managing his father’s fortune. In the first book he discovers a race of very advanced fairy people that live underground. During the course of the books Artemis scams, betrays and does business with these fairies. Soon enough (after many heart stopping adventures) he befriends the fairies and begins to help them. 

In this particular book Artemis his has developed a project he calls “THE PROJECT.” This project is man’s last hope; the way to save mankind from themselves. However, during the presentation of the project to an elite group of fairly (among them his most, and only, trusted friends) Artemis begins to act a little strange Holy Short (a good friend of Artemis) recognizes some symptoms and comes to a stunning conclusion- Artemis as the Atlantis Complex (multiple-personality disorder). A very serious metal problem that has very dramatic symptoms, for example: an obsession with number (especially hatred of fear of the number 4) and in later stages a whole different personality arises. And to top it all up a fairy Martian probe is on its way to destroy the underwater city of Atlantis! Artemis and his friends (but mostly his friends) must race to worn the ancient city before it’s too late and on the way discover who may have coursed such a mess?

It was a very interesting book. As goods as the other books by Eoin Colfer but, there was just something missing to it. It didn’t give you that mystery style one would expect. The intriguing metal play Artemis would have against the stories villain was missing (probably due to the fact that Artemis was sort of crazy and didn’t help much through the course of the story). However, the action and wit that no other author can accomplish was still there making it not a horrible book but just different. Overall I must say it was not my favourite book from the series but it wasn’t the worst.
