Well, I hope everyone's Fourth went well. I have done more than I had planned too yesterday. My family had a cook out and my sister, her boyfriend, and my niece came to join me and my parents. It was nice. We had some fun, and good conversations, I guess. I beat the shit out of my SlamMan again then my niece took a turn at it. I also wasn't planning on doing anything last night either related to fireworks. At the very most I was just planning on laying a blanket out in the backyard and laying on it watching the sky, not so much for the fireworks though but more for relaxation and cooling down. Instead, I headed over to see some fireworks in Delanco or something with my parents by the river. I wasn't too interested in the fire works though, and I just ignored them and kept playing my PSP. Ah well.


I haven't mentioned it on here yet, so I guess I might as well. My heart/chest has been hurting on and off lately, so I might have to go and get that checked out. It was acting up last night and the night before, so I had to go lay down and rest a bit, don't know what happened there but I'm falling apart anymore so who knows. Oh well, it's no important.

I'll talk to you guys later. Let me know I'm not alone here.

Another quiz.

Someone wanted me to answer this quiz that was put together by him, and I'm sure you can guess who he is and who lent him a hand in it at some point too. Well, here you go.

1) What quality do you love about yourself that no one else has?

I have no qualities that I love about myself that no one else has. I can't say long hair, because others have long hair and that's all I like about myself.

2) You wake up and what do you want to see? A) A bright, smiling sun B) Swaying trees, blossoming with the new season or C) a soft rain that warms your soul and breeds inspiration

C, I guess.

3)Which pet is your favorite and why?

I can't really say. Rocky (aka Batista) is my favorite for pure coolness, and humor. But Ester is my favorite for just being cute and adorable.

4) Why is Roxie such a kewl person?

Roxie is an awesome person, very funny, and easy to get along with. We don't get to speak that often, but I still consider her a good friend.

5) Why is Charles such a kewl person?

Charles... *grits teeth* Charles pushes my buttons a lot, and I feel like killing him sometimes. But I know he's just messing around so I don't take it too seriously, even if I sometimes seem as if I am. Anyway, Charles is the only friend I've had that hasn't dropped me or stabbed me in the back in my whole 22 years of life, so that's enough right there. But, I also have to credit him for a lot for influencing me in different ways. If he wasn't my friend, I'd be much worse off when it comes to writing, that's for sure. I suck now, but I'd have been a million times worse had he not been around. Also, he gets me thinking sometimes, helps get my creative side going once in a while although it feels as if that part of me is completely dead, it shows from time to time, mainly when he's around. He's a great friend, although he's still a pain in the ass a lot of times.

6) Why is love important to you?

I don't know. I can't explain it.

7) What was the best part of your day? A) Simply enjoying the day as it comes along B) Spending quality time with friends and family C) Realizing that you are unique

B, I suppose.

8) Hypothetically, if you were a person blind to their own beauty and worthwhile qualities, what would be the first positive thing you could recognize about yourself that you would want others to see?

Uh, I don't know. My sense of humor?

9) If you could be one cute furry animal, which one would you be?

I really don't know. A monkey?

10) And who would you cuddle with?

I don't know.

   Blah!!!!!

Well, it's the 23rd. I'm another year older, and I still feel like shit. Ah well, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. But, hey, it isn't all bad, I have the flea market to look forward to today! *fakes smile*

Bleh. Anyway, not much new. Went to the zoo Monday with my family, my sister and my niece came around yesterday, Tuesday, to see me because I'll be at the flea market most of today. My sister helped me paint my nails blck too, so that was cool. Not much else. Later.

The countdown is on...

In a few days the time will come again where I continue to hate myself and everything about my life but only adding another year to it. I tire of it, even if it only comes once a year because people make a bigger deal out of it than it should be. I need no prizes, I need no baked goods, I need nothing. At least nothing that could be given to me in a box or in cake form. Let me just sleep the day away, and hope I forget all about it.

I need to fall asleep and never wake up.

No response is neccesary, I just needed to write something.

   The crap this is me.
I don't know why I'm even doing this, nor do I think anyone really cares, but I answered all these questions on this survery/questionaire and am posting it here for anyone interested to rest.


Long ass survey

(1) Your gender: Male
(2) Single?: Yes
(3) Want to be?: No, I'm lonely as hell.
(4) Your birth day: June 23, 1983
(5) Age you act: I don't know. I'm pretty mature, or so people have always told me since I was 16. But, I can be pretty goofy, like a kid on sugar. But most of the time I act as if I am already dead...
(6) Age you wish you were: Don't know, don't care. I suppose being 22 will be enough.
(7) Do you have a web page?: Unless you count this place, myOtaku, not really. I made a few before for projects I had with my friend Charles, such as: Project Gamer (Otakuboard's famed RPG), HWA E-Fed (A Role Playing Wrestling Federation), and one unfinished site where myself and Charles would review movies in our usual comical banter.
(8) Your height: About 6'1"
(9) The color of your eyes: Blue
(10) Happy with it?: I guess. I don't really care, but at least some people like them.
(11) The color of your hair: Brown, with a small streak of white due to my hair slowly turning white before it's time.
(12) Happy with it?: I don't know, maybe. I thought about dying it black before, or taking some peroxide to it to make it all white like Sephiroth's from FF7 or Kain's from The Legacy of Kain.
(13) Left/right/ambidextrous?: Right
(14) Your living arrangement?: With my parents.
(27) Your family: I don't know what I'm supposed to add here. I got a mom, and dad, and a sister, named Crystal. That's it. Oh and my niece, Brianna. The rest of my "family" can fuck themselves, they're all scummy, backstabbing, thieving pieces of shit.
(29) What's your job: Jack and Shit. Seriously, nothing. I'm on disability for a number of reason. Most notably are the Seizures and my Bipolar/Manic Depressive Disorder.
(30) Piercings?: Yes. My right ear lobe.
(31) Tattoos?: No, but I was thinking about getting one on my wrist of a dotted line with the words "CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE" in small print written above it. But no one aside from me really like that idea.
(32) Obsessions?: Vampires, Skulls, Wrestling (I try to stop watching, but I can't), Video Games (I buy a crap load of video games and I haven't even played some of them or just played them once), ......death....
(35) Do you speak another language?: Not really. I know like one to three words/phrases in French and Spanish, but that's about it.
(36) Have a favorite quote: A few. Here's one: "I hate life, because life hates me."

DEEP THOUGHTS about life and you in it

(38) Do you live in the moment?: Uh....I have no "moment." I Live for death, honestly.
(39) Do you consider yourself tolerant of others?: Yes. I once stood out in my front yard bare foot, on a hot day, listening to Jehovah's witnesses for about an hour or so. I'd say that's pretty tolerant.
(40) Do you have any secrets?: Of course, who doesn't.
(41) Do you hate yourself?: Yes, every minute of every day.
(42) Do you like your handwriting?: No, I write like a four year old. I don't know why, but I never got any better.
(43) Do you have any bad habits?: I guess. Everyone does.
(45) If a movie was made about your life, what would it be called?: I don't know. "Death of a lonely loser." "Worthless." "Waste of Time." "Live to Die." Whatever.
(46) What's your biggest fear?: Being alone.
(47) Can you sing?: I don't know. I never really tried, nor am I interested in doing so.
(48) Do you ever pretend to be someone else just to look cool?: No.
(49) Are you a loner?: Yes.
(51) If you were another person, would you be friends with you?: No, I'm a waste of time. I'm surprised anyone bothers with me, but then again all of my friends, aside from one, are online and don't actually have to be around me in person so it's easier for them.
(52) Are you a daredevil?: Not really. When I was younger I did crazier stuff that I suppose could be considered daredevil-ish, but not anymore. But then again I don't really do much anymore.
(53) Is there anything you fear or hate about yourself?: Nothing to fear, but I hate everything about myself. Except my hair that is.
(54) Are you passive or aggressive?: Passive
(55) Have you got a car?: No, the state says I can't drive in my condition.
(57) If you could change one thing about yourself?: Just about everything.
(58) There are three wells, love, beauty and creativity, which one do you choose?: Love, I suppose.
(59) How do you vent?: Violent video games, my Boxing/Kick Boxing Dummy (SlamMan), and I use to cut, but I don't anymore.
(60) Do you think you are emotionally strong?: For others, yes. For myself, no.
(62) Do you think life has been good so far?: What do you think? No.
(63) What is the most important lesson you've learned from life?: Nothing in life matters if you've got no one to share it with.
(64) What do you like the most about your body?: Nothing really, except my hair.

(67) Are you confident?: Nope.
(68) What is the fictional character you're most like?: I don't know.
(70) Are you perceived wrongly?: Yes, a lot people assume I'm bad news or something. I look like a mean biker or something to most people when I go out.

(72) Do drugs?: Unless it's pharmaceutical, no.
(73) Read the newspaper?: Eh, not really.
(74) Pray?: No.
(75) Go to church?: No.

(201) Do you prefer knowing someone before dating them or going on a blind date: I'd rather know them somewhat so I at least know what I'm getting into. I wouldn't want to be stuck with someone who is completely different than me, because that would ruin both of our evenings, most likely any way.

(203) Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?: Yes, but I didn't consider her physically unattractive. I liked her just fine the way she was.
(204) Do you think the opposite sex finds you good looking?: Nope. I had a few girls, online of course, tell me they think I'm cute or something. But I think that's mainly them just trying to be kind.
(205) What is best about the opposite sex?: I don't know, what is this supposed to be asking exactly? Well, I'll say personality anyway.
(206) What is the worst thing about the opposite sex?: Nothing.
(207) What's the last present someone gave you?: A CD, I suppose.
(208) Are you in love?: Yes.
(209) Do you consider your significant other hot?: I don't have a significant other yet, but the girl I'm thinking about, I think is "hot." I hate the phrase "hot" though.
(210) What would you do if you were walking down the street and saw some hot guy/girl standing on the sidewalk?: Keep on walking, I guess.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON...

(211) That haunted you?: What does this even mean?

(213) That you laughed at?: I don't know.
(214) That laughed at you?: My mom.

(219) To ask you out?: Ha! Yeah, right. Don't hold you breath on this one.
(220) To make you cry?: I made myself cry recently when I broke down for no reason at all.
(221) To brighten up your day?: Rebecca.
(222) That you thought about?: Rebecca.
(223) You saw a movie with?: A.
(224) You talked to on the phone?: My sister.
(225) You talked to through IM?: Rebecca.
(226) You saw?: My dad, he just walked in the door from work while writing this.
(227) You lost?: My next door neighbor Walter. He was this awesome old man, he was practically apart of the family.
(229) You thought was completely insane?: My friends grandmother.
(230) You wanted to be?: I don't know.
(231) You told off?: I avoid confrontations generally.
(232) You trusted?: I don't trust anyone anymore. To many people have stabbed me in the back to trust most people.

(234) Smiled?: I smile very rarely.
(235) Laughed?: Yesterday, I think.
(236) Cried?: I don't know.
(237) Bought something?: Within the last week.
(239) Were sarcastic?: I don't know. I can't narrow down a specific time because I'm always sarcastic. Hell, I probably was sarcastic in this questionnaire.
(240) Hugged someone?: Sometime in November of 2004.
(241) Talked to an ex?: I don't even have an ex, technically.
(242) Watched your fave movie?: I don't know. I don't even know what my absolute favorite is.
(243) Had a nightmare?: Every single time I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
(245) Talked on the phone?: Last week. I don't like talking on the phone. Too impersonal, and also because my phone sucks.

(247) Watched TV?: Right now.
(248) Went out?: Yesterday.

   I lost it all.... *cries and falls into a heap*

I lost everything on my computer, I mean. But that's bad enough for me since I got so little left that brings me joy...

The damn computer crashed and wouldn't start so I had to reformat and now we're back to basics. Almost anyway. I got my cable modem and all that reinstalled, but I lost all of my files, my pictures, my games, my Photoshop.... I'm crushed. I need to get that back especially. Well, nothing much else to report.

The only good thing to really come from this is that it's like having a new computer again and seems to run a little faster now that all of the junk has been cleared.

Well, see ya around. Later.

   Boredom and pictures! Yay! *grumbles*

Nothing really special today. Just sitting around bored out of my mind, and I'm looking for things to update with. So I thought of these two pictures I took a little while back, nothing special just some scenery from around my way.

First is a picture I took next to my house, you can see some of the gutter above but I was shooting for the sun light shining through the trees in my backyard. I thought it looked pretty cool, not many things look nice around here so I had to find something nice to take a picture of.

Next we have a picture of another tree I took that was sitting in my neighbor's front yard. It's a beautiful looking tree, but sadly all those frickin' power lines ruin the picture slightly.

Some of you might know, and some of you might not. I have a collection of swords, knives, daggers, etc. You know, the kind of things bipolar nut jobs like myself shouldn't have. Anyway, I took a picture of two of them a while ago and now I'll show them off for everyone to see. First up is one of my personal favorite looking pieces, a skeleton emerging from the ground holding a dagger in it's hands. I think I got that for Christmas from my parents. That's right, my parents buy their bipolar nut job of a son lethal weapons! Heh, isn't that funny? Well, up next we've have a picture of something I, more recently, recently got, it's some sort of propeller looking blade with a skull base to sit it on.

Anyway, since I have posted one in a while here is a more recent shot of my ugly mug. Enjoy! If you can.

Anyway, that's all I got for now--well, not really. I could post more, but I have to save some for another day. Maybe I'll even take a stroll around the neighbor hood in the near future and take some random pictures to show you--well, just to show you and give me something to update about. Who knows I might be able to get some decent looking pictures despite this place looking mostly like crap. Later.

   Chronicles of Ed: Fish Time!

All right, it's update time and TVE is back. So get amped for the vamp!

I'm back with a real update this time because I've actually done something different from my usual boring "do nothing" routine. Like when I went to Atlantic City with my sister and her boyfriend, I've done something else different, with my parents, and again feel I owe my fans the opportunity to share in my experience even though it wasn't anything too special, but, hey, I got pictures. So, join me, if you will, on my journey through--THE AQUARIUM! *cue eerie echo*

To begin our journey one must first enter, and so we did. The two love birds holding hands in the first picture are my parents, I took this as we were walking to the entrance of the aquarium. I didn't realize until later that I got them in the picture, because I was looking more towards the horizon than anyone in front of me. In the second picture, just before entering, I snapped a shot of the water front with the city in view on the other side. Again, my mother can be seen to the left and I also managed to catch a man throwing garbage out on the right hand side. Yeah, I don't know why I pointed that out--but, I did.

Inside we're greeted by the friendly staff, and made our way to the first area of the aquarium. Not much of interest at first, so I didn't bother wasting my time taking any pictures of the plain looking fish. However, that changed the second I seen this weird rock looking sucker. I'm not quite sure what it is called, there was a sign next to it that said "Frog Fish" but it didn't really look like the one in the picture, but it looked pretty cool. Next up are jelly fish--upside down jelly fish! I've never seen upside down jelly fish before so I had to get a picture of them. I just feel bad for the person who steps on one of these things.

For some reason there aren't only fish or aquatic animals in the aquarium, I found this two-toed sloth in a small fenced in area. The picture isn't so great, but I didn't want to use the flash because it might startle the sloth or something. It was pretty cool looking, and it was also what caused the picture to look bad too because it was hanging from the lights blocking them so I couldn't catch it in a good light. Also, in the same fenced in area was this bird, I'm not even sure what it is, but it looked cool.

On our way to the next area I spotted these beauties of death, Piranha. Nothing special really in this photo, but next to the display was a flat screen monitor showing some Piranha in action attacking anything that came into the water, it was awesome looking. It looked like boiling water from the surface when they got a hold of some prey. Moving on I found another very deadly creature, the feared--Killer Frog! Yeah, I was kinda laughing at it too. The idea that that thing is called a "Killer" anything sounded like a joke, but on the sign next to the display it had said it was a very poisonous frog. But still...

Anyway, next we have a random, illuminated, tank full of fish in a dark room, looks cool, I guess. Next, some fish called "Flashlight Fish" or something like that. The tank was really dark in actuality so you could see the "antenna" with the little "bulb" on the end moving around but not the actual fish, however in this picture you cannot see that because I used the flash so you could see the fish but kind ruined the whole flashlight thing for them. Meh.

Here is something I really liked a small in door waterfall-ish type thing. I had to get a picture of it. Next, a diamond backed turtle--that can swim through the air! Looks like it anyway. All right, moving on. In the next area was a short tank with a small sand imitation beach with Parrots sitting on branches and Sting Rays and fish in the tank. And only a few steps away from that area is a big tank with an imitation sunken ship setting with fish, such as Queen Fish, inside.

Spiny Lobsters attacking one another is such a rare sight, I suppose, but I have it in a picture here. There are actually three lobsters, but the third one pulled itself up a rocky side off camera as the other two were snapping at each other and latching on one another. And, now, a really big tank! Bare with me, not all of these pictures will have great introductions as there isn't much to be said about some of them. However, in this picture the tank doesn't really look like it's that big, but trust me it's huge. Moving on again, you've heard of something called the jaws of life, used to pry things open/off of trapped victims. Well, I captured on camera the jaws of death! These jaws trap victims by pinning them down in their jaws, but then rips them apart. Yeah, I know, stupid comparison.

Moving on once more I find myself in the Hippo area. A large wide open area with free roaming birds, like this one, and a huge tank for the Hippos to move around in. I couldn't get a good picture of the Hippos sadly because people kept getting in the way, and on top of that they mostly stayed in one spot sleeping facing away from me, so I got a picture of some Hippo asses! Eventually, one Hippo did turn it's head and just when I was about to take a picture of it someone on the staff turned on the air bubbles and blocked my view as well as made the Hippo turn it's head away again. But it did look back again, slightly anyway, but sadly the picture didn't come out as good looking as the other one.

After leaving the Hippo area I came across this awesome sight, a tank full of jelly fish bathed in a blue hue. It just looked too cool to pass up. Not far from there I found this ugly mofo called a "Japanese something Crab." I don't know why I bothered to take a picture of it really, but I guess I felt compelled to because of how odd it looked. Down the hall was the shark tank, not much to say though sadly as it was a bitch to get a picture of them in general. One reason is because they moved around too fast most of the time, another reason was that the tank was dark and using the flash kept causing glare and/or make the tank look dark for some odd reason, and lastly because a bunch of people kept getting in the way again. But I do have two, this one, and this one.

Next, we moved outside to the Penguin and Seal area. The Penguins didn't do much, just stood around and sometimes cleaned or pecked at one another. But next to the Penguin tank I found another bird on the aquarium grounds. This picture is my favorite due to the tranquil nature of the bird, peaceful, still--but that could just be the rigor mortis setting in... *looks around shifty eyed*

Moving on, Seals! The Seal area provided me with many shots. I have a shot of a seal swimming across the top of the water, and another one. Now, Seal ass! Then, I caught glimpse of one seal bobbing up and down in the water with it's head above the surface and attempted to take a picture of it. I got it, but just as I was taking it's picture another one swam across the surface to get in the picture as well, looked cool. I managed to catch the one that swam in front of me in a couple more shots, one of it swimming across at the bottom of the tank in front of me, and another of it swimming away while twirling in the water.

That's it, we seen more, such as people in Hippo costumes dancing around with the children, but I didn't feel like wasting shots on them. I had some fun at first, because we went early, but apparently we ended up going when like twenty five schools were visiting or something. High schoolers, middle schoolers, and apparently even elementary schools because there were teenagers and children of all ages there and it got hot and stuffy fast. On top of that they're all pushy SOBs, and I felt like giving some of them an elbow shot to the face, and yes, even the little one... *grumbles*

Anyway, after leaving we took a moment to take in the sights and watched the water with ferries carting people around on them. With my last shot I took this of a pirate-esp ship across the way. So that's it. Nothing else, sorry, but be glad you didn't have to see my mug in any of these. Well, feel free to comment--actually, you know what? I typed all this up, SO YOU BETTER REPLY!!!

Just kidding...maybe. Later.

   Happy Friday the 13th!!!

Today is Friday the 13th, a day of dread, a day of bad luck, a day of--of... Whatever else people think bad of the day. However, it's quite the opposite for me. Every day of every week of every year seem terrible to me, they seem more like bad luck. But many Friday the 13th's I felt better, I'd had better luck, things just seemed to go better. Today, nothing special but so far I don't feel too bad and I'm happier that usual, so it's better than usual already. I just hope Friday the 13th really is the day of luck for me, because I decided to get a lottery ticket just in case. Yeah, I know, it seems kind of pointless but, hey, you got to have hope for certain thing if you want better.

Well, this isn't much of an update but it's one nonetheless. See you around.
