I am the superfluous friend,
Unnecessary beginning to end.
I'm difficult to see,
even harder to be!
He is impossible to mend.
The superfluous friend!
Never truly involved.
The superfluous friend!
Never contacted.
The superfluous friend!
Not even mentioned.
The superfluous friend!;
not the branch but the leaf-seeking lemur,
more depressing than breaking both femurs,
always faking a happy demeanor!,
noticing his "friends" getting meaner!,
slowly getting frailer and leaner!;
yet once he withers away
his absence won't hold any sway...
--for he is the superfluous,
the uninvolved,--
--for he is the superfluous,
the uncontacted

The Ballad of Lancedboasts
A long way gone in a far-off realm
(Maybe "Boatmurdered" or "Abbeyhelm")
There lies a metal that can overwhelm
Us men, goblins, and the demons of Hell.
This legendary metal has a namesake: mithril-
Or adamantine if that's how you're thrilled.
If you think you can find it, you'd better just chill;
Only dwarves are able to mine you your fill!
Yes, only dwarves, so good with stouts,
Can mine this ore, those drunken louts!
Their natural strength and frequent bouts
Prepare them quite well for what this metal outs.
No man could ever be prepared for a fight
With the evil creatures of eternal night.
Ironically, these guards

Television
Have you seen the TV today?
Its like theyre holding our culture at bay.
With shows like Bounty Hunter and Lost
(Giving some fun but at mental cost),
The American brain beginning to rot, 5
Comprehension skill are declining a lot!
American people are becoming a bit dumber
As our senses are getting ever so number.
A good example is Cinemax,
Giving our culture a pretty large tax 10
On all of our minds and all of our brains;
Some of us can not get over the strains!
Documentries are better than most of those,
Giving information on nature and prose.
Movies, too, are usually quite

On that note, expect more activity on here now, hopefully. Probably no more colored pencils, though.;)
Ugh. I was meant to be away for three weeks in New York on a pseudo-vacation. I was enjoying it until I had to be dismissed from the facilities I was staying at for "Swine Flu-like Symptoms". I had a sinal infection. The only good that came out of that was that I was home for my birthday; fat load of good that turned out to be...:(
I made some sketches while I was away, one of which I am posting here for all the world to see! The others are going to rot in a desk drawer.
One pleasant surprise this summer was the Mobilising Armies minigame in Runescape; I'm still playing it, as a matter of fact, when I'm not working on that video contest. Sp
