A Funny Video

Today I post a video a friend of mine recorded of some other friends dancing at our school talent show to "I Believe I Can Fly" while dressed in cow costumes. Incredibly funny, and well worth the watch.

Failures,,,,,and a Sweetness




Today I decided to give you all some of my drawing failures that weren't too horrid to scan and post. I consider them failures because I didn't like how they turned out when I finished them I probably have more to scan as well.

The sweetness picture is, well, sweetness. Its a half-robotic drake I got the idea for from my favorite art site:
http://neondragonart.com/
Her main avatar thing is a sweet robodragon, so I did my own. I kind of made him like he has gone through a horrid battle and barely survived, and so needed some mechanical help.

I also posted an update (not a chapter) on my song dragons blog.

Enjoy!

Todays Offering

Well, today I think I'll give you all another one of my short stories. I have a few, and this one was one I did for a grade in school for a writing class.

Grathengoken

Its a really dumb story about potatoes. I had to do one for a writing class, and so this is it.

There once was a potato named Matthew. This potato lived an ordinary life with an ordinary wife named Molly, his two ordinary kids named Matthias and Mary, worked an ordinary office job working for an auto insurance company. One day, I think it was May, something extraordinary happened.

Matthew was delivering a report for his boss, Mr. Potata head. There were four floors in the office, the fourth floor being on top. Matthew was climbing the stairs right over the third floor, when the roof and fourth floor was ripped off right above his head.

Matthew screamed, ducked and glanced wildly around for the source of this strange phenomenon. He was almost ready to panic, when something inside him snapped. He collapsed on the floor writhing and screaming, clawing at his arms and legs. For some reason unbeknownst to him his body was changing. His already misshapen, fuzzy head grew larger, his spindly arms and legs became absurdly muscled for a potato, and he turned a deep shade of blue.

As soon as this transformation ceased, a new mind had taken over and roared a challenge to the attacking force. The roof now gone, Matthew had an excellent view of his foe.

Dripping fangs, huge, blood-red eyes, snow-white fur and two gigantic ears was all Matthew could see as the creature reeled back in surprise and disappeared. A little bewildered, Matthew stared blankly at the spot his foe was moments before, then shrugged and climbed over the tops of the broken and buckled walls to help with cleanup in the city below.

Many inhabitants saw how helpful this unrecognizable blue creature was, and after the rubble was cleared, the new mayor of Rootsville honored this new, unexpected citizen with a medal and the title of highest honor, Grathengoken.

Now, whenever Rootsville is in danger, Matthew becomes Grathengoken, and always saves the day.

Uh, Yea.

What am I Going to Post?

Well, I really dont know what I should post. I'm debating between a poem and a picture. probably a poem. ok.

Moby Dick

This poem is one I did for a school assignment as a project on a book I read. I ran out of time and couldnt finish the book, but I got an A+ on this poem anyways.

The creak and groan of the quiet ship

Holds the soul in an icy grip.

The lanterns swing through the darkness deep,

As seasoned sailors snore and sleep.

The icy breath of the sea moans by

And the watch shivers, for death is nigh.

The sea washes the ship to and fro,

The wind picks up, the watch calls below,

“Captain! There seems to be a storm coming up!”

And the hollow sound of his step answers the pup.

With one leg missing, Captain Ahab still sails,

His mind set on a single White Whale.

As his orders ring through the night,

His thoughts secretly doom the whale that is white.
