Ghost In The Shell

Well I finally got round to buying Ghost in the Shell recently and I would have to say that it is one of the best animes I have ever seen. I would say any anime lover who hasn't seen it should go out and either hire it or buy it. I can't wait for the second movie to be released here and when I get some cash I'll start buying the series.

Thoughts.

Well today I was walking down the street during my lunch break(currently doing a bartender course)and I was thinking that I like my solitude. I mean there are days where I can't stand it and I feel all depressed and stuff. Today on the other hand I wanted to be alone. I just walked the street listening to my music. Sometimes it is very comforting. Well tomorrow you'll probably have me saying the opposite.

I need a hug.

I got my end of year results today and they were nothing like I expected. I did bad and it means that I won't get into the University courses that I wanted. It is so depressing. Putting in all that work only to end up with shit all. Because of that I could really do with a hug. I also see that no one really liked the third part of my stories prologue.

   Still here

Well I lied a bit about not being able to post again, but this is the last time for about a week. I'm also not able to visit anyone's site today. Here is part three of my Prologue. Prologue Part 3: When news was brought that the savior was no where to be found rumour spread that he had been consumed in the fire as no corpse had been discovered. Many other rumours followed including that he was a magician who delved in the dark arts and was consumed by his own will for power. It was also popularly believed that Zanar was God having come to Earth to rescue His people from the creatures and had returned to Heaven via the magnificent height of the tower which was burned after His need of it had been completed. From this ideal the first non-pagan religion sprang to life on Falcacia. The religion spread like a fire to dry grass throughout the lands of Falcacia. The Lords came together in relationship to this spreading religion and agreed that a man should be inducted as the leader of the religion so as to assure its smooth operation. The first man to be inducted as the Kanash, as the title was first proclaimed by the Lords, was a man named Darias. His first task as Kanash was to initiate priests into the order so as to document the known life of Zanar. In these recordings the life of Zanar became a corrupted story to make him an almighty God who had come to Falcacia to save the people. His deeds were extended to more than just saving towns from the creatures but also to curing the sick and performing miracles of intense magnitude. No one questioned whether these stories were true as it was believed that what was written could not have possibly been in any way controlled or exaggerated. The universal theory, where the people of Falcacia were concerned, was that the Book of Zanar comprised of eyewitness recordings and information pieced together from notes that were scattered around the old tower. The religion spread like a wildfire throughout Falcacia and people began to forget the pagan religions that had once been a crucial part of the three kingdoms ways of living. Those gods that had once been praised and glorified were removed from the temples and Zanar became the dominant figure. There were some who refused to accept Zanar as a God. These people became outcasts and as time progressed they too were forgotten by the three kingdoms. It is believed that these people started their own village away from those who had chosen to stray from their origins where they could worship their Gods without fear of being treated unfairly by the Zaralists, worshippers of Zanar. Three hundred years past. The religion of Zanar was widely worshipped and helped to bring peace to the three kingdoms. Little use was needed of the armies though they were kept incase another outbreak of the creatures occurred again. The kingdoms prospered in these days and, while keeping to some of the old ways, advanced through their scholars and scientists. But how long is peace likely to remain when the lords had broken from the old ways in belief that nothing could truly threaten their homes? That's the end of the prologue. I'm actually hoping that posting it up might inspire me to start the first chapter. I may post up the start of the chapter at a later date.

150 visits

For my 150 visits I thank all those who have been dedicated and visits this site regularly. Any way on to other news. Today I'm getting my hair dyed black - blue. Yay. This should look cool, hopefully. I'm probably not going to be around next week due to a bartender course I'm doind and I may not have time so with that I give you the second part of my prologue. Prologue Part2: During the hundred years that these creatures attacked a man came to the three leaders proclaiming he was a savior and could protect them all from the creatures. The Lords were getting desperate as the creatures would not let up, so they accepted the man’s proposal. The man, known as Zanar was a very strange man; he seemed to know exactly when and where the creatures were going to attack before anything would happen. He appeared at every attack and stood on the barracks. One look at him and the creatures fled. As this continued the Lords began to realise that this was a powerful man and discussed what they had really sold themselves into. As the number of attacks decreased so as to reach a near standstill, Zanar again approached the Lords of the three kingdoms. His requests for payment of his help were simple. He wanted privacy and so asked that a tower be built so as to allow him to view the three kingdoms from afar. The Lords knowing that it was one of the simplest requests they could have received, set their best men to work on this tower. A hundred years of peace and prosperity followed the completion of the tower and all were content with the happenings in the world of Falcacia. The Lords and their descendants held biyearly conferences, which Zanar was most welcome to attend, to discuss the state of Falcacia. Zanar was the only ‘outsider’ to enter in these conferences and the only outlander to come to Falcacia in five hundred years of recorded history. Little was known about Zanar but information was much sought after when he disappeared. It was unknown how it occurred but many outlandish rumours have risen from the events. At the precise day of the hundredth anniversary of the building of Zanar’s tower it burnt to the ground. It was could be seen at all three capitals, which are at the furthest points from the mountain ranges. The flames were horrendously high and it seemed that much of the earth around the tower would be consumed in flame. When search parties returned from the investigation of the incident it was explained that only the tower had been consumed and that everything around it was untouched. To be continued in a third and fourth part when I return.

The forgotten Gods of old(working title)

As I don't have much to write about today I'm going to post up part of the prologue from my novel. Prologue: All stories must have a beginning and an ending, just as all adventures must start with the adventurer setting out and end with the adventurer completing or failing their goal. This story, though, begins three hundred years before the adventure, but has just as big an impact on the world of Falcacia. Falcacia was and is still a continent divided by three separate kingdoms each with their own unique aspects. These kingdoms were separated by a mountain range known as the Triptah Mountains. The largest of these kingdoms was Numac; led by Lord Cedric V, who renowned for discovering the mystery of flight using a steam powered engine and a gas filled balloon. This discovery marked the beginning of the second age of Falcacia. The second of the kingdoms, Alteras; led by Lord Decan III, was renowned for its warriors and weaponry, as much was foreign in the other kingdoms. Alteras had once been a kingdom split into tribes before all had been united by Lord Illus I. Upon his call all had united under the banner of the Flame and Phoenix to fight a greater foe who had disturbed the balance, but that is another story. Lord Sarac IX led Sinitia, the smallest of the three kingdoms. Sinitia was not as predominant as Numac or Alteras but its Dragoons were widely recognised for their strength, agility and skills when it came to close combat battles. Their skills with spears were astounding and their armour was believed to be made out of the tough skin of dragons slain at the hands of these warriors. These three kingdoms of Falcacia had lived in peace for over five hundred years, setting up diplomatic relations and trade routes. But, after a time, many travelers began disappearing on the roads between the capitals. News of strange, vicious creatures that were capable of tearing a man to shreds in seconds reached Lord Decan III. The people were baffled as to the cause, knowing only that it began in the 100th year of the Second Age. Diplomats were sent to Sinitia and Numac to find the best course of action. The resulting discussions brought into practice the newly discovered air travel as a replacement for trade and travel between many of the towns and the three capitals. But with the increasing demands in transportation only the wealthy or socially high-standing were able to travel via air. The three kingdoms started to build up defences to combat these creatures in case the villages were attacked. Their fears were justified. The waves of creatures seemed constant at first but after a few years they gave up and mauled travelers who should happen to cross their path. After a while the attacks seemed to stop and very little was seen of these creatures but it was known that they were still out their in the wilderness. I'll posts up more at a later date.

sensitive guy

Well another movie where I get all teary eyed. ACtually it was a movie that I never thought I would watch. This time it was "A Walk to Remember" It's strange. This all started with Hero. A film which I would classify the greatest tragedy of the last decade or the last 100 years. On to other news. Today I have an orthodontist appointment. Joy. If I'm lucky it will mean I don't have to wear my plates during the day. *dances at the thought*. Cya all around.
