So it seems the people who did the poll (shut up) want another adventure. No surprise there I suppose.

Now the term "adventure" is fairly wide and open for interpretation. There can be the typical high fantasy adventure, the sci-fi adventure that I'm fairly adept in, the more romanticized adventure of a man in a pith helmet or cowboy hat, even a bit of "slice of life" too.

Also, new characters. Long time watchers know what type of heroes I like and which ones I use. Hell, some of ya might know more about me than my parents!
I've done quite a few Humans as heroes or protagonists so I'm gonna try with some other aliens. Currently I've got one with a Primian and one with a Euclidian in the works and I'll stick with the one that's coming more naturally. I might make one with a Merp sooner than later but that could be cause for some complications...

On unrelated news, hook 'em Horns!

Before I start, lemme say that Ikkicon IV was freaking awesome and that I will post pics (labeled as "Scraps" perhaps) sometime when I get a couple pics of me as my character.
Also, I'll be putting up the last two chapters of The Treasures of Artemeus today so look for that.

Indeed folks, we have arrived. It's been a brutal decade: wars erupting, governments failing, buildings falling, people crying, parties fighting, economies flailing, celebrities of all kinds dying, cities drowning, eras ending, all history in the making my friends. Farewell days of 200X and hello 2010s, the Tens. We are well underway for a century marked with uncertainty and perhaps doubt. In fact, we may very well put the 20th century to shame.

Many of y'all who read this would've been born at the tail-end of the 1980s to the mid-90s. It's amazing, isn't it? We are the children of those who lived through the Cold War. Think about it: both of my grampas fought during the Cold War, one in Korea and the other in Vietnam. My great-grampa fought in WWII in the European Campaign. I may very well have had a relative who fought in the Great War. But in a single decade the US is fighting two wars physically and the whole world in a sense. Doesn't that boggle your mind? Doesn't that make you think? Could we be in a dark age an not know it? Could we be seeing the end of one chapter and embarking on a new one? Will there be another World War the likes that put the previous two to shame?

History illustrates this point very well. Imagine that you're on a mountain that keeps going up. You look behind you and what do you see? A rolling green field recovering from the fires of war, dirt that has been baked a dark crimson by the blood of the innocent, the tracks of tanks and cars in the distance, a dessert close behind you with rubble and torn flags, the cities of Europe and Asia rebuilt and destroyed over and over, the deaths of millions, the births of billions, an ageless and timeless feeling that the past was better when in truth no time is better than the present. The speeches of Churchill and FDR a memory for some is but a page in a book to us. There will come a day far from now when questions like "Where were you when the towers fell?", "Where were you when the shuttle crashed?", "Where were you when Obama was elected?", "Where were you when New Orleans was hit?" will be asked. History is alive my friends, and we it. We aren't making the history, but we are seeing it, living it, smelling it, tasting it, fearing it, loving it, and embracing it for we must.

For me, 2010 will come in 21 hours and 30 minutes. This decade is the first of many that I will have had full memory of. I remember how I started this decade in fact. I had just turned 10. My dad was "friends" with a woman and left me and my sister, who was only 6, alone in the strange woman's house with her daughter who was afraid of Y2K. The three of us sat in the middle of the living room after watching Dexter's Lab in a blanket holding a flashlight as we rang in the new decade, the last year of the 20th century. That was how I began this decade: weak, naive, scared, and upset. I won't do that, not again. Sometime ago I was wondering if I had changed since high school, but I'm confident I've changed since that day. I know I have. I won't be with family but I will be with friends. I won't be under a blanket with a flashlight, I'll be having fun. Will I be scared? Perhaps. I just gave plenty of reasons to be. But I'm gonna enter this new decade with hope for the better.

A lot can change in 10 years for a Human and I think this decade may very well take the cake for that.

Well the Speed Gamers did amazing in their marathon. Not only did they catch their 493rd Pokemon within the last minutes of the marathon but they got over $18000 when their initial goal was only $15000. Thanks to anyone who joined me and the 15 thousand known people across the world. Do ya wanna know what the last Pokemon was? Meganium. By the way, you can still do some last minute donations on their main site: thespeedgamers.com

Well, I've been working on a nice little thing for y'all. It was really fun for me and I hope y'all enjoy it. It was certainly one of my more challenging things to do since I had to create new subject matter. But in doing so, it is now canon.

So... Happy Holidays!
