Updated Lego Indiana Jones Site


The new Indy site can still use a little more improvement since it's missing new characters in the story section and the mine cart chase game(I think they should have made this), but the Temple of Doom commercial is in the video archives, there are new wallpepers and screensavers(the Temple of Doom wallpaper is SWEET), and not to mention the brand new Shanghai Chase game!
Okay, maybe that's a little late, but it's pretty good. Enjoy this piece of news, fellow Lego Indy fans!

Firefox Personas

for you fellow users of Firefox, I hope you've stumbled upon a little thing called Firefox Personas. If you haven't...well I'm not exactly sure how to get back, but you need to get it. You can choose from thousands of selections for a customized web browser's background, or make a picture to fit the slots and make it yourself.
Mine is an awesome air nomad background, with the nation emblem on the right, and the colors of it streaming off like gusts of wind. It's sweet!

Clarksdale Flood

For most of the Us, you may or may not know that there are various floods occurring through much of north Georgia. Although I'm thankful they haven't hit my home, an entire school, Clarksdale Elementary, has been submerged partially. The children's supplies are ruined, and the community needs help to rebuild their school. Please pray for these people and everyone who is affected, as well as praying for continued protection for the unaffected people(my family).
For more information for your Georgians out there, go to 11Alive.com for more info on how to donate supplies.

The Brick Adventures








If I were to go to Brickworld '10, it would mostly be for Brian Williams's INCREDIBLE Indiana Jones setup. It kind of puts my creations to shame, but I still try. Look at some of the indivudial shadowboxes above if you don't believe me.
I'm trying my hardest to go to the next Brickworld because there's supposed to be a TEMPLE OF DOOM part!

What I'm up to.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't be so dramatic, but my computer was down for at least a week while we got the hard drive cleared. And it's back, woohoo!
Anyways, I'll should be back to posting on my, Flickr, Yahoo, and MOCpages accounts, as well. THere's really not much to say right now. Well, strike that. If I were t put down everything that pops into my head, you would've seen all four Indiana Jones movies, read my entire(future) novel series, seen every episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and experienced all the anguish of crushes, friendships and prejudes toward opposing cliques.
Didn't seen that coming did you?

Brick Adventures Tank Chase

This is the MOC by Brian Williams, the genius behind the Indiana Jones Brick Adventures at Brickworld.

Even though he has a lot of great Indy MOCs in that huge display of his, this is the MOC that got me up off my butt and start building Lego Indy MOCs. As you can see he packs a lot of detail into this creations, including a lots of SNOT(I'm using too many acronyms), tied supplies and gears that work the treads.
You can see more pictures at his flickr gallery.

Chilling on Labor Day

To be honest, I'm not really sure my family has ever done a lot on labor day. Well, we might go over to my Nana's had have a cookout there, but we don't really set up a vacation for two or three days(duh).
Anyways, I've started reading Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. He said that this book became so big that he needed to make the series four books instead of three, so I'm really not sure where this book will go. Christopher's Inheritance series was a ig source of inspiration form e to get off my butt and start writing, and to take it seriously.
My magic usage is a little more natural though. It deals with the fix Chinese elements and one other. This way I connect more natural forms of energy and life to the magic, instead of using thoughts(do you get it?). See ya!

Indy shoots...and I score!


Everyone remembers the most witty scene in the Indy movies: the epic showdown between our hero and the Cairo Swordsman. Well Lego has released a neat little set that captures that scene pretty well.

The minifigs in this set are fantastic, except for the fact that the swordsman's face looks cartoony. Anyways, TLG could have done a few buildings though.




This photo shows the instructional manuals from all the Indy sets I've purchased. Well this isn't entirely accurate. I've purchased two copies of Motorcycle Chase, Jungle Cutter, and received two extra copies of Shanghai Chase, but everything else is only one copy.

The world is...

Pretty boring right now. That's why people have to entertain themselves. For me, that entertainment is writing.
I know what you're thinking: Jeesh, this kid's a square. Well, maybe i am. But writing is so appealing to me with the fact that I can create my own person, my own story. It's the funnest thing in the world to me. Acting also appeals to me, since it's creating a character, but writing opens up a lot more doors and descriptions.
See ya!

Hello world.

Not much to say really. Chances are though that I might become a huge success, so I want ot make this blog in case I am, so that some people will be able to know what I was like.

Wait, you don't know why I might be a success? alright, here's why:
I'm planning a thirteen book fantasy series. I know, I know...I sound crazy right now. But I'm willing to put forth hard work and determination to accomplish this goal. Wish me luck!
