Just a quick public service announcement!

After 9 years of livejournal (Really? 9 years?), I have re-named my account.

Gone is the last remnant of my first social online nickname. I spent a lot of time under "oXMoonWolfXo" on Battle.net, playing Diablo 2... The Town Square meeting room is where I first witnessed online roleplay, and after a bout of confusion, jumped right in. I made good friends there who I still talk to today! However, I feel much more like a PlayfulEye these days than a MoonWolf.

We're moving this Sunday! BBQ Pulled Pork sandwiches and parmesan steak fries for all who want to help! :D

Party at the kid's table!
Is your family out of town for the holidays like mine? Or would you just rather not celebrate with them? Well then you can come play with me! :D

When: Thursday, Nov 26. 6 PM - ???!

Where: My haus!
We're packing to move, so it'll be a bit messy. Let me know if you need directions or an address.

What: It's a potluck, so please bring something to share!
This doesn't have to be traditional fare. In fact, if you've got an infamous recipe of any kind, I want to eat it! I'll be providing a turkey and some fixin's, so the main course is covered.

Please RSVP so I know how big of a bird to get. :D

Anyone up for a thanksgiving potluck? :D

And the angel of the Lord led me into the belly of the Holy Mother. A chamber black as pitch.
But I felt no fear, only comfort, for I was as a child in the womb.
And she bade me here through yonder portal which looked upon the heavens,
And behold! A morning angel!
She ascended slowly from far beyond the horizon, her light like a heavenly finger pointing the way.
And on yonder wall she traced for me a path which led me five directions, eight branches to east,
And behold! As my feet landed firmly upon the final winter of the second score,
There appeared before me a heavenly star, a holy virgin, the bringer of life and breath.
And she spoke unto me saying:

"FEAR NOT the movement of the heavens above or the earth below, for CHANGE is what we are, my child."

"Righteous are those who look up and sway with the wind,
Who look down and dance with the shifting of the soil,
Who swim with the movement of the tides,
Who seek the truth around them and discover,
WE ARE!
And have ALWAYS BEEN in Paradise!
The reflections of Heaven on Earth. Amen."


And she spoke again, saying:
"Know, my child, that there is NO devil seeking to corrupt the hearts of men.
NO EVIL, save blind faith, ignorance, and the desire of the unprepared to blame others for the devastation left in the wake of change."

"CHANGE, my child!
Change is in the heavens,
Change is on this earth,
Change is all around us,
And as WE ARE reflections of the divine we must roll with these changes, for we ARE these changes.
Eyes wide open, we must look upon the heavens as a mirror.
Wide awake, aware, deeply breathing."

"And when the shit comes down, my child,
YOU will be there,
A TRUE and HOLY survivor to inherit the kingdom of God.
You will rise above the rumbles of the unprepared to greet the NEW day, to drink from the sweet fruit of the vine, the water of life, the blood of the risen CHRIST, my child!"

"Go now, son, tell them all!
The ignorant, the blind paw of dogma, those blinded by faith, the doubters, the nay-sayers.
Tell them all, child, they can NOT see the kingdom of God,
They can NOT see paradise unfold before them,
They can NOT drink from the chalice which holds the blood of Christ, the water of LIFE,
Until they get right with Jesus.
Until they get right with Jesus."

"It's always gonna be sour grapes with you, boy,
Until you get right with Jesus. Amen."

I think I've done this one almost every year I've had a livejournal...

The Hyena and Other Men

A series of fascinating photographs. Read the "About These Images" section if you have the time, it's worth it.

Okay, so it's really terrible, and hard to read this shorthand slang, but Russel's Yelp reviews are really quite hilarious to me. I especially like his review of Comic Con, and this one:

" San Diego Zoo

bring a b**** at 3 pm. no tiger. bring my boy 2 zoo @ nite.... no tiger. drive 30 f***ckin miles both ways 2 get my lil neice their as the g8s open-----NO F***ING TIGER. i dont wanna hear a Fing word about camelflauge either cause i tripled down (contacts, glasses, binocs) 2 scan every inch of that largeass litterbox tryin 2 sneak 1 god dam peek at those stripy f***in s***machines w/ no luck.

2 top it off, the stingy cat cuddlin keepers over here even got the nerve 2 set up a false alarm button rite by the xhibit w/ grunts & growls & s***, actin like these p****s r on the MFing riverside prowl when the truth is those lazy orange sellout f***s wouldnt grapple a beef flavered apple if they were starvin 2 death. sry but thats lamer then tame and im switching my faverite wild animal 2 cheetahs.

stayin positive tho.... still prolly the dopest zoo in the hole world & defanitely a hastericle place 2 teach ur sisters kids how 2 flick some1 off or scare the s*** outta them 4 misbehavin (usin the Skyfari 4 both) dependin on the mood/if there cell phones r charged 2 call there mom/etc..

& not 2b a bad influince or unfamily man or w/e but honostly the best times here mean flyin solo w/ a lil sumpinsumpin pumpin thru ur vanes & brain cause u learn a lot more. like uve prolly heard that hippos kill more black fools then lions & leppers every year in africa but dont relize how whoribly racest they rly r till uve stared at that fat white touristylookin sand sculpture 4 an hour on a**d.

another time (aint gonna lie) i was all jelis of my buddy Matty & his free f***in jungle vac8ion so 1 bombass november morning i thro a half 8th of sh****ms on my pepperoni brekfist & headed 2 Absalutely Apes smugglin a gallon of sparklets in my jacket. hydr8ed like a m****f***er, spaced out & took a nap on that comfy fake woodchip carpit or w/e, & woke up 2 Clyde chokin the s**** outta that baby siamang (which was hella sad but made me bust up 4 hours).... killer day 4 under 40 bucks.

ne way have fun & dont believe those retarted no feeding signs w/ the peenuts & biting sock puppit----the jaguar loves peppered Jack Links just dont share w/ the 3rd grade nark squad around."

Best Con Friends: Emily, Micah, Kazz, Laika, and the one and only Mike Sanders

Best Nerdcore: The chicago-based I Fight Dragons, who performed songs by jumping on a power pad, using a power glove, and button mashing some old nintendo controllers.

Best Surprise: One Eyed Doll. The band consisted of a drummer and a girl in a frilly lolita dress with a bass. After introducing herself in a high, pleasant voice, she rocked my face off, headbanged, and ending her set by leaping over the pneumatic drum kit and tackling her drummer.

Best Costume: Three appropriately aged kids dressed as the Animaniacs in the most ADORABLE cosplay EVER

Best Drink: Pie

My masks drew a lot of attention, and I look forward to bringing them back bigger and better next year! I also have plans for a few other costumes already, I can't wait!
