An interesting thought struck me today.

Remember last year, when the new version of the movie "The Omen" was released? They released the movie on June 6th, 2006, and the reason they did that was because the short form of that date was basically 6/6/6 (sixth month, sixth day, sixth year... minus 2000 of course), number of the beast as they say.

Well, that made me think... July 7th, 2007 would be 7/7/7. Logically (if one can consider 'luck' logical) that should be a fairly lucky day. And then I figured, if someone turns 21 on that day, it must be really lucky. See, 7+7+7=21. 21 is legal age to get into a casino (as far as I know) worldwide. 21 is also the desireable number in Black Jack. 7-7-7 is quite fortunate on the slots. I mean, all in all this all will probably have no effect on 'luck' whatsoever. My birthday may not be on 7/7/7. And I'm already 23. But I think I may take a stroll to the casino on that day anyway. lol

I'm sure a few of you are wondering about the swap I've made from being Bernie Stonecat to Ralph Spacecat... well, even if you aren't wondering, I'm telling you anyway, tough noogies. domokun

Years ago, when I first truly encountered the internet, I stumbled across messageboards, and intruiging concept. This is back in the day, when I was in 8th grade, back when InsideTheWeb was up and running. I came across a messageboard called Aeris' Garden, which later came to be better known as The Madhouse Press. This was the first time in my life that the idea of having an internet alais was proposed to me. Thus, Ralph Spacecat was born.

From that point on, nearly any website I visited, I used that same alias. This alais also became a key subject of my creativity, a muse for my art projects and such in school, and even small plush toys in sewing class, and doodles in nearly any other class.

Eventually I graduated High School, and Ralph had gone through various changes over the years. After High School, I did a couple of exchange programs, and a new friend made it's way into my life - Marijuana. Now, Ralph had always been a fairly "clean" character, as had I. Perhaps to protect Ralph, I decided it was time for a new character, hence Bernie Stonecat came to be. I had fun with the Bernie character for a while, but eventually my ideas and creativity seemed to stop flowing with the character.

Which more or less brings us to the current point in time. After some thought, I realized that the Bernie character, which was intended to represent myself as Ralph had, seemed to become a bit of an empty shell. Bernie was pretty much a strictly Marijuana focused character, because he was developed when I had newly discovered it. The same is not true for myself though, as MJ is but one of my interests. In limiting my character, I began to feel I had limited myself.

So, I came to a decision - Go back to the Spacecat character. Ralph was meant to represent me, so it only makes sense that what the Stonecat character personafied should simply become a part of Spacecat, completing him in a sense. In otherwords... I just wanna be more of myself again. 3nodding

My New Years resolution this year was Change. Even though it's technically a change back, it's a change none the less xd

Ever wanted to pretend a thunderstorm was happening? HERE'S HOW-

Flick a light switch on and off repeteadly, while yelling "Thunderstorm!"

Other people in the room will instantaneously feel compelled to talk to you wink

And that's my advice on how to pick up women.

wait... I think I lost my train of thought there somewhere...

So what's been up lately, you ask?

I am now one of the Value Village People xd

I just got a job at Value Village (Savers for the yankees), and it is practically a dream job for me! It's easier than my old job (avec Benix & Co., a small retail store that sells dishes, pots and pans, etc.), and pays me more too, even AFTER the raise I got at the old job (not getting paid much though, but rather emphasizing how cheap the last place was 3nodding ), and now I get a 50% discount & first choice at the very place I like to shop! xd xd xd mrgreen

So what else is new... of yeah, I narrowly avoided being bear maced ealrier this week! a couple of buddies of mine were stupidly walking through central in Winnipeg late one night/early one morning (suffice to say 'twas not the best of areas to be in), when some punk kid on a bike comes by and starts pestering us. Next thing you know, he's spraying my one pal point balnk in the face with bear mace! For those of you who may not know, bear mace is pepper spray used to temporarily blind a bear. Concentrated Jalapeño juice.

My other buddy and I were already crossing the street to get away from the guy, and I hadn't realized the guy who got sprayed first wasn't crossing with us. When I turned my head the guy was just pulling out the bear mace. I called back to him to try and get him to turn his head, but seeing how I've already said he was sprayed point blank, I'm sure you know it was to no avail. The guy started biking toward us then, and I saw him spray my other buddy, not point blank like last time, but still got him pretty bad. I kept calling to my buddies to guide them by my voice since they could absolutely not see. The guy was coming my way. I noticed one thing - this guy wasn't going to get off his bike. He was a rather small guy, so his defense was his bike, a quick getaway, spray and get away.

I noticed a short chain like fence in a small garden area nearby, only all of maybe 20cm high mind you, but I knew the guy would have to get off his bike to follow after me. He came close, and started to spray at me just as I was hopping over the fence. I covered my face with my arm and turned away as the spray came at me, and amazingly when I looked back, although the guy was shouting as if he was still chasing me, he had started taking off!

So thankfully, I was still able to see so I helped my friends to a nearby gas station and called an ambulance... hoo, thats a crazy story I may tell another time. At any rate were all fine now, and I like my new job dramallama cheese_whine

Ha ha, here's something real fun, you kids can try it at home too! Here's what you'll need-

A Gamecube (with TV & neccesary equipment)
Super Mario Sunshine
Ganja (amount will vary) (...& neccesary equipment wink )
an MP3 of/ A CD containing the song I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones (& nec. eqpmnt)

Prepare Gamecube, CD player, and etc. Set up music so "I wanna be sedated" plays continuously. Toke, toke, take it to the head. Turn on Video Game, TV as well if that wasn't obvious enough. Make Mario run around paniced-like. Enjoy xd

Here's some pics of the first cosplay I ever did. I intend to redo this Cosplay later on more professionally (for example, a "real" naruto headband on the belt)

Ok, first off, before I even start, the Mormons (Or Latter-Day Saints as they prefer) are good people. No, they ain't brain washing me to think that, they just ARE good people. They do good things. And they just wanna share their happiness. Is that so bad?

But anyway, I was sitting in my room, and decided to take a nice bonghit. Then I trundled down the stairs to have a larf on the interweb. Then Suddenly, my mother calls down to me, "The Missionaries are here to see you!"

"Oh my, such poor timing!" I thought, as I lumbered back up the stairs. I greeted the Elders with firm handshakes and invited them to the living room. I had them wait there whilst I prepared some fruit punch for the young men, and grabbed my set of scriptures as well. I wasn't sure at all how this would all turn out.

They shared some of their favorite verses with me, and asked for one of mine. I could not think of anything in my state. But after a little stalling, I can across one of the best - 2 Samuel 12: 7

...Thou art the man. xd

They really enjoyed that. We laughed, and talked, and prayed, and all in all had a really fun little meeting. Hopefully they didn't notice the redness of my eyes too much blaugh

Once the Mormons and the Rastafarians merge, they've totally got my vote mrgreen
