Whats in a name?

The history and rationale behind my many monikers.

In Chronological order.

04

anonimi - I had just discovered 4chan and internet culture and somehow the name was just always available.
I find it absolutely annoying when you type in a bag of names and you keep getting 'Im sorry this username is taken' Problem solved.

05

The Cynic - *yuck* angsty teen years. That's what I was, wasn't fun.

06

LEON- I have no clue.

07

Mr. Leon Turpentine - The name I've settled down on. One day I said 'I need a last name'. I was actually considering Constantine for a surname but I thought that was too pretentious and chose something a bit more eccentric. I have no clue how Turpentine ended up in my head but that it did and Mr. Leon Turpentine was born.

08

Alistair Blackwater - Current appellation closest to my real name.Alistair is my middle name which I actually like.I honestly don't like my first name simply because if anyone calls it out its near inevitable that 4 people are going to look around.Blackwater is the English translation of the Gaelic Dubh Glais and that is the family I belong to.A fairly old Scottish family with a long history. The motto is 'Never Behind' :P

What's next? I don't know. I've taken quite a liking to my current nicknames.

What does your name mean?

Does your surname have a history?

Check it out you might be surprised.

W.I.P

Still needs fixing but this will do for now.

Posting Links [yes i just learned how to do this]

Posting a link

Since links are often long winded things they dont display properly in columns

<_a href="url/"> Link text <_/_a_>

This is teh motif for a link [minus the underscores _]

You put your link URL where it says URL plus a / [duh]

And whatever you want the link to say Example Where you started

Where you started

See that wasnt so hard

Merry Christmas and assorted humbugs

Christmas is great .

Jesus is cool ,

but

one thing

i cant stand

is Satan Claus oops I mean Santa Claus

                          




Telling children theres a fat immortal cookie eating ninja thats lives in Sub-Zero temperatures, using slave labour and apparently mutant jet powered reindeer to traverse the world in 24 hours  is a bit ridiculous(to say the least).

Personally i  think HYMNS are a bit boring* but its at least related to the true meaning for the season.No Jingle Bell mush shall enter my house.Additionally iv'e decided to not get started on Commercialization because then ILL NEVER STOP WRITING.

I have a sniper rifle waiting, he'll be like HoOooOooo... and just die  :P

With all that Said 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Crit and other Stuff

The Crit overall was better than most expected. our First guest jurors were actually quite cool.

Working on Saturday is actually quite good. The studio is quiet and you can really get to whatever you planned to do.HOWEVER the mosquitoes are such a pain! i had to invent mosquito armor.

Ingredients - Tw0 11" by 17" papers

1)Procure paper
2)Wrap one around each leg
3)Tape down for mosquito bite alleviation

Brilliant huh?

Unique Music - The Venetian Snares

This song is perfect in my ears.Beautiful music.Its Techno plus Drum and Bass with a dose of Clasical which puts this song somewhere in a sub genre like Beethoven Virus*



*Techno has a lot of sub genres (maybe more than music itself)

Luke Skywalker I AM YOUR FATHER!

Ethics of the Sith

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me(edit)

(Star Wars is among the classics.Standing beside Tetris, Pacman and Mario)

Yea not all the buttons work(yet)

Contact Button dont really want anyone to contact me

Search button  works

Internet Social Networking- The very roots of it

Working Smarter not harder...?
~~~~~~~
you work your fingers to the bone = you get a +
you do some relatively ok work = you get a
you do some REAL BirdStuff = you get a -

The inevitable? Vague allusions are great.

SUFFERING FROM SOME SERIOUS BURNOUT!
Coffee for lunch :S


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Information technology homework sort of....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I.T home work on social networking.So naturally it must be about the internet no? wow a wealth of knowledge heads this blog.The sub culture of the internet is a deep, extremely unique , VERY ILLOGICAL thing.The beginnings of the internet lie in the internet imageboard.Founded as soon as Pc got into the first household.The home of anon (anonymous duh!).The driving force behind almost EVERY msn abbreviation, funny email forward,scams and viruses and the creative force for pictures and videos.(Great place for wallpapers)

Wilde said "Give a man a mask and he will show you hus true self". Imageboards being anonymous, form a society that is almost without rule.(Which usually aren't very stable).Expect obnoxious arrogant ignorant (sometimes racist) fickle behaviour.

This concludes my insight into what could be called the slums of the internet.
