A bit of haiku

Do not judge me here.
Do you need an audience
to make you better?

Sleepwalking

Vigorously flow the streams of rust and salt
    when you laid your hands upon me and mine.
    splaid out before you, aghast and sundered
    amidst that dancing blade of bitterness
    you humbly wielded each unplanned attack.

    Face of mine own Confessor tried to balk
    idly while voices lost around pantomime
    of smoke-filled rooms and mirrors enumbered.
    The only foreigner was my own self.
    I close my eyes; I should have known better.
   
    What difference will a day or two make
    to count back the number of the mistakes
    where words are lost in imagination
    and what should be rage brings only musings
    and disappointment, maybe resentment.

    Revisit the past in the morrow tide.
    come inside and give everything you are
    or be sanctified in misgiving id.
    Dispel notions of possibility
    For this is the way things are meant to be.

Amber - Revisited

I stood.

I mourned.

I listened.

To the tears. to the memories. to Love.

I left quietly.
 
Left thinking.

Another death of someone so young.  Another reminder.

No matter how long or short the walk. It is the Journey shared.

Ours had come and gone.

But the memory was clear. The happiness, the joy, and the smile.

These I would carry with me.

But, there more thoughts came to mind.

things in my life.

Of things unsaid. Of things undone. Of Life's little ticking clock.

There is no snooze button.

No magic reset button.

Live life.  Love freely. Teach compassion. Make your mark.

You don't need a wake-up call.

Safe Journey to all.

Lord, say the Word and I shall be Yours.

Portal Song

If you're an xbox 360 fan, then you already know that the Half-Life: Portal game is out there and making a HUGE SUCCESS. This is the video that totally rocks as the end credits song.

HUGE spoiler alert! Listen and Read at your own risk!

It makes me very happy.

Even.

Though.

the.

cake.

was.

a.

lie!

Lyrics to Portal credits: Still Alive

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science

we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a wonderful line
and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
so I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive

go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
maybe you'll find someone else to help you
maybe black mesa
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there's science to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
on the people who are still alive

and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
While you are dying I'll be still alive
and when you're dead I'll be still alive
STILL ALIVE, still alive

Force Unleashed!

This first clip shows that there will be a special introductory mission where the player will be able to play Darth Vader. He battles on the Wookie homeworld, Kashyyyk, and finds his new apprentice, the main player character in Star Wars, The Force Unleashed.



This second video highlights the differences that will be available throughout the different consoles. For the most part, many games are pretty much the same (barring vid quality) for each console. An emerging trend seems to be making its way to the masses. Games are now becoming console specific and what used to be Variant Cover/Same Story in comic book comparison, is shaping out even more possibilities and daring challenges to true completionists.

For example, the Wii will be maximizing the motion sensitivity of the nunchuck and wiimote. You, too, can now use the Force in your own living room to have the screen show your character's light saber mimick your motions or send an enemy thrown back with a Force Push!

The PS2 has been worked with a new physics engine. Expect tons more flying people and objects and destructible backgrounds. Stress management, anyone? An added bonus to the "last gen" system is that it will have exclusive missions not available on the other consoles.

PSP version of the game is being touted as a "pick-up-and-go" immersion. Lucas-approved "classic" missions will have you fighting key scenes from SW episodes 1-6. with the added bonus of using SW: TFU powers.

And finally, the DS version has combos that one can string together using the touch screen to control the actions of your hero. It will also feature several different multiplayer modes.

Decisions will need to be made. Start saving your pennies boys and girls! You only have the summer to decide. Make your reservations soon!

Torchwood Season Two Ends...

soooo, thanks to the modern miracle of the internet and some helpful people from across the way, I was able to keep up with Torchwood Season Two.  I will agree that this has been one outrageous show and was loads better than Season One.  Each of the characters was able to grow a bit this season and we definitely were able to see their characterization.  Actors did a fantabulous job as well.

Won't do any spoilers, except for the nice appearance of James Marsters at the beginning and end of the season.  Here's to hoping that there will be a great Season Three.

Now, the wait.  Amazing how space/time rifts only function when you don't want them too!

*pout*

Stop and Listen...

Embedded Video

For the world has something to say

if you only give it the time

that it takes for a heart to die.

you would ask for yourself alone.

Would you, in your arrogant ways,

ignore the voice of despair?

Walk past with an air of disdain?

Remember those who have left us.

You, mighty heir of tomorrow,

with the plain grace of touch and psalm

give faith to those who need it most.

For in you, with you, I believe.

But, what strength and vice this shadow

seemingly grows and takes such hold

of my fear that you, too, shall leave.

But, my love lives past the mourning.
