A use for all those toy swords

Had a funny little brain spark the other day!

In my never ending quest to amuse myself in a creative manner, I had a great idea for playing capture the flag with toy swords, Massive teams of like 50 on 50 fighting out in a public park...

then I thought some more about it, how about I add classes, Archers with sling shots or Nerf guns or something and medics that can heal "dead" players...

then I thought some more about it, how about I add some story element to it "Knights of the yellow cloths attempt to push out the barbarian raiders" then I realised something...

LARPING

that's right, Live-Action-Role-Playing that's what I was ended up with and frankly that makes me a little uncomfortable

However I can see the fun in this geeky madness, the question is could I pull it off?

I think Ill end up with a half baked war reenactment meets capture the flag type game which hopefully will be allot of fun...

If I get it going that is....

Now I just have to find enough friends of mine that will admit they own toy weapons and want to use them

Back to Reality!

Well I'm not so feverish any more and I'm feeling pretty good (cant say the same for my friend though, he's still sick with the same thing that knocked me out of commission for the day)

and let me tell you, its nice to be back to reality without the weird dreams and feeling of drifting in between weakness..

I'm pretty firmly planted in this one again

So what else do I have to say?

Well....

Well, got into a funny argument on the forum I moderate about "Canadian patriotism" and it was really pissing me off how much this guy wouldn't shut up about how great and awesome Canada was!

And it got me thinking ...

One of the reasons I'm so proud to be Canadian is that were not so "In your face about it"

Like certain nations.. *COUGH COUGH* America *COUGH*

So moral of the story is, If your Canadian and your reading this, don't get stepped on, stand proud, but don't go raving about it either, Your Canadian and you don't have to try to prove anything...

and if your a Horn Touting "4Th of July everyday" kinda guy, Shut up and sit down and try listening to the rest of the world a for change..

Silence is Golden (on occasion)

Delirous ramble

Well, I have a fever today and things just are not making sense... Had some really weird dreams, some very realistic, others completely off the handle. People always search for meaning in dreams but these ones can go one of two ways, either they are rolling in meaning or are totally meaning less, because no way is there middle ground when my dreams are this weird...

Dream 1: Vikings, Plasticine vikings, fighting on a bridge over something or other

Dream 2: Taking a Metro Bus to where is doesn't normally go, ended up in a ruined city where everyone has laptops and all I can think of is that "this would be a great place for paintball"

Dream 3: Sitting in Anthropology class, and for some reason I keep drinking this cold coco only to discover it actually belongs to a friend of mine and they are scowling at me for sipping it.

Dream 3.5: Still in Anthropology, this time I am trying to explain why I didn't do the project and that the reason why is that I have a fever, and shes not buying it.

Dream 4: Something about English class.. Kinda confusing..

I WAKE UP!!! (and proceed to feeling like crap and eventually writing this blog post)

Back from the dead (not realy)

Well, I haven't posted here in, ages...

and well.. really I think I should, Its useful to keep a track of things and hopefully someone else might find it interesting too.

So what do I have to say today?

A Crazy Japanese chick in cosplay!

well I found this by accident on the web a week or so ago. It just caught my attention so I decided to save it.

Why did it catch my attention? Not sure... I guess I'm just a sucker for Asian girls in crazy colours and plastic clothes. (Nice "S curve" of her pose too, making her look kinda curious in that sort of way that birds are curous and tilit there head)

And she is good looking (but what the heck is that thing at her crotch?)

Well what I do know is that the girl is cosplaying a character from the game "Space Channel 5"

So Hi and Bye for today, Go and savor the image...
