http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071227/ap_on_re_us/tiger_escapes;_ylt=AlsP14ZZplNTomQmWecO8tSs0NUE Wow.. so what do you all think of this? I think its horrible, not only that people died but the tiger as well. Tigers are endangered. Something definitely isn't right, for the tiger to have actually killed people. I think somebody was taunting it, or perhaps the tiger saw people running and its hunting instincts took over. Unless someone fesses up or the zoo has cameras, I don't think this case will ever be solved.
New from me.. going through a hard bout of depression. Don't worry, nothing bad happened, just some imbalanced chemicals and traumatized nerves in my brain ^^;; I go through this a lot, so I'm used to it. Hold It Close Pain, it washes over me Burns my soul, scalds my heart Eyes shut tight, they can't see As me and myself drift farther apart Despite the sadness, I will not flee I've been here before, its not so hard Let pain come Don't let pain go Hold your pain close Sorrow, it drips from my veins Infects my spirit, poisons my mind I have to fight it, no more red stains A silent killer of its own kind Didn't expect how difficult it became A note of my confessions, my suicide Let sorrow come Don't let sorrow go Hold your sorrow close Drugs, they call for me Blades, they threaten me Darkness, its haunting me Voices, they talk to me Death, it beckons me This depression is killing me
I cannot find any Shadow Hearts I II or III clips available for download anywhere.. I see all these clips on youtube of them but nobody has any credits of where they got them from! >_<;; The ones I did find were .avi and those don't work on my computer. Does anybody know an easier way to find & download clips from the video games you want to make a VGMV?!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jznclSlHHdY Its my second ever! I think I did a decent job.. I know at some point the clips are kinda stand stillish but I didn't realize they did that for so long because once again.. my computer was lagging! x_X;;
Three of my older poems. This one was written about when I was about 17 when I was reflecting back on the day I left my mother's house at the age of 13. Don't My life spent in that cell Don’t let it burn Has left me with a soul that can’t rest Don’t break my wings This house burns hot as hell Don’t watch the tables turn As I clutch my ticket out to my chest Don’t listen as I scream You always liked it when I fell Don’t leave and try to return Even when I was trying my best Don’t think for you I bleed Now I have scars with their stories to tell Don’t, just stop, have you heard? My life’s been the opposite of blessed Hmm.. this next one is pretty personal and based on one of my real experiences, and I have scars to prove it. The end was a little dramatic, though. None of them could have really killed me x_x;; It was also written when I was seventeen. Basically I'm saying that in a world where all people seem to want to do is make you angry and hurt you in every way possible, the only thing that is real and true is well.. self mutilation and your own blood. By the end of the poem, though, I realize that what I'm doing is stupid and that I wasn't really a good friend to myself by doing those things. In some ways me doing that was kinda a cry out for attention even though I never showed them to anyone. But don't worry, I don't do this anymore ^^;; Seventeen Scars #1 for all my pent up anger #2 for rough hands against my skin #3 is a little too deep, I'm in danger #4 has the sensation of sweet sin I'll give you something to believe, to trust The blood upon my wrist is no lie Is seventeen scars for seventeen years enough? The razor blade clenched in my fist is no lie #5 for another stupid fight #6 for the dark that I fear #7 hurts, my chest goes tight #8 brings on the tears If you don�t listen I'll give you something to regret My bleeding wrist never has lied Seventeen scars for a warning, a threat The blade in my fist seduces, but never lied #9 for the molested child #10 for his betrayal between my thighs #11 makes my emotions run wild #12 is too shallow, sorry, nice try I'll give you a way to understand My wrist won�t stop bleeding, it�s NOT A D*** LIE Seventeen scars crafted with my own hand The razor my fist won't stop feeding, it's NOT A D*** LIE #13 for my mother who doesn't care #14 for the critical voices in my head #15 reminds me that my father wasn't there #16 just stained the sheets on my bed I'll give you a reason to cry The blood spilled from my wrist is drying, didn't lie Seventeen scars always asking me "Why?" Across my room the razor's flying, didn't lie #17 hit a main blood vessel #17 Down my spine, sends chills #17 for my life, begins to wrestle #17 is the type that kills I've given myself a reason to question My bloodied wrist sold me a lie Seventeen scars have taught me a lesson The blade thrown away sold my wrist a lie This is the first poem I wrote, that I actually have kept and recorded down. There were a few before it but I threw them all out x_x;; Basically one of my best friends was trying to help me and I wouldn't let him, and last time he tried to help this other girl she turned against him and hated him. I wrote this when I was 14 Just Like You They tell me that I'm just like you That I've said the things you said That I'm following the same path as you I say I'm not, I deny... You said you'd never change Well I'm saying that too They said you were sweet Well I am too They say they tried to help you Like they are helping me They say that you could have been strong If you only had tried Well I'm trying, and trying But I slowly let it control me And I'm crying, I'm crying And I realize that I don't wanna be like you They say I'm letting it hold me down Just like those darkened chains held you I've fought for years And I can't stand it anymore They say you turned against them Well I don't want that to happen too Cause friends are there to care for you And I need them whether I want them or not So, tell my friends they don't need to worry Cause I'm not entirely like you I'll dance upon the edge But I will never fall
Hmm.. this isn't my most favorite of poems I've ever written, but it has a deep meaning. Basically right now, my boyfriend is totally different and hard to understand, and I'm not so sure if I'm happy with him or not, but I love him so much I'm not to the point where I want to lose or leave him. I'm trying really hard to find different ways to view or deal with it, but its very hard. Love You Forever... Maybe My fingers brush against the edge Of something dangerous, amazing To you I make this honor, pledge To love you forever... maybe We never seem to have time at all Your compassion does not exist You make my heart sputter and stall But I'm not raptured in bliss Your hand never wanders or searches for mine But our hearts still beat together And still you committed the worst of crimes You stole my heart forever My heart is deeply embedded again Within things I just cannot understand But if love was always perfect and zen Life would be dull and bland This is, however, a brand new poem by me ^-^ I just finished it a few minutes ago.
This is the newest poem by me. I plan on trying to write another one sooner or later. I'm in one of those moods where I'm filled with so many emotions, but I just can't put them into words =\ By His Hand Bending over backwards Crawling on all fours Crying to the sky and stars Hiding welts and sores Praying for a savior Worshiping a blade Rewards for your behavior In bruises of every shade Yelling at the mirror Spitting at yourself Can't explain it clearer Just play the card thats dealt You're knocked out on the floor His nails are in your flesh He was waiting at the door Screaming loud, blood is fresh Now you understand And this is the last straw No longer live by his hand Toss that card and draw Its about an abusive relationship, where you feel like you can't escape it, and you want somebody else to try and save you. Finally when you're attacked so bad that you could have or thought you would die, you know that you've had enough and have to better yourself.
You vs. Him How could I let you touch me that way? How could I say that I always loved you? How could I do with you the things that I hate? How could I once again, play so well the fool? Your love, it makes me feel so soiled Your love, it feels way worse than rape Your love left my heart dead and spoiled Your love is like hell without escape I can't believe he touched me that way I can't believe he said "I love you" I can't believe he makes me love what I hate I can't believe he won't let me act a fool His love, it helps make me believe His love, it feels better than a first high His love leaves me raptured in ecstasy His love is like heaven every single time It's you vs. him, and your chances are slim The comparison is foolish enough to make me laugh It's you vs. him, and I'm sure he's gonna win Just stop before I'm forced to rip your heart in half
A A ball of pain, anger, disappointment Is me lying, trembling, on my bed And I sigh, I whimper, i groan I'm regretting words, goodbyes, left unsaid A daughter, forgotten, forsaken, non-existent Is me trying to make myself drop dead And I'm happy, oh now I'm pissed I'm an angry b**** who lost her addictive meds A fighter, gritted teeth and eyes closed Is me trying not to forget, lose my head And I no longer wanna feel this horrid pain I'm crying, evoking from veins a crimson red A lover, passionate, jealous, compulsive Is me bearing a heart that's easy to shred And a kiss from me can be worse than a curse I'm just trying to keep all my desires fed A mess, shattered, torn, destroyed Is me little more or less than depressed And I don't think that I'm worth s*** I'm soon gonna find who's my real friend Don't worry.. I'm not depressed. I'm one of those writer's who can reflect to a point of my life and remember feelings and write about it, or reflect upon feelings of my friends, relate to it, and write about them. Most of poetry is about depression or heartbreak D:
Alright, so what do you guys think?! ^-^ Its my first ever video. Its supposed to be a little funny, but for me it was only slightly amusing. Kingdom Hearts - (What What In The Butt) I've been working on it since yesterday. I made half of it with WMM but it kept freezing and locking up, then I made the other half of it with Sony Vegas. I know the timing is slightly off, but my computer is a tid bit slow and froze on certain frames so I THOUGHT I had the timing just right, but really I was off by a little bit or sometimes a lot, like with the part where Riku's mouth is moving but nothing is being said. When I viewed it on my computer in Vegas there were lyrics being sung and whatnot, but apparently that was wrong x_x;; And I also know it kinda just cuts off, but I don't know how to make the end fade slowly in Vegas yet and WMM just barely faded it and made it end abruptly.
Okay. So I'm not a tree hugger or an active PETA member, but I watched some insightful PETA videos over the past few hours, and they were EXTREMELY disturbing. I would post links to them so you could understand where I'm coming from, but first I would rather hear a moderators voice on that because eve though I'd be posting them for an educational/insight purpose, they are pretty graphic. I'm pretty sure the answer would be no, its best not to post them. Any who, the title of the topic is actually the title of one of the videos. So I will help you meet your meat! I'm not a vegan, but I don't believe I'll ever be able to look at my hamburger or a thanksgiving turkey ever the same again. When you think of where your hamburger came from, you might possibly be naive and think of a happy cow grazing in a field, but thats not the case. Most animals used for meat are born and raised in a small box where they live their whole life. Many have puss-filled wounds or even cancer tissues when they go into the slaughter house (We cannot contract the same kinds of cancers as animals, so they still meet USDA standards). Most times the truck doesn't even have a ramp, they're just shoved off the back. They are hung upside down and put on the processing line where the slaughtering process begins, when they're STILL alive. Some are already so weak that they have to be pulled and shoved off of the truck. Chickens and turkeys are worse. They're put through a giant steaming machine to remove feather while they're still alive. The live their whole life in a pen surrounded by feces and other dead chickens. The hormones they're given make them grow so fast and the muscles in their legs hadn't fully developed, so they can't even move to get food and some starve to death. Pigs have it just as bad. They're put through a hair removal/steaming machine while they're still alive, too. Pigs that don't grow fast enough to keep up with the rest are killed either by electrocution or shot in the head with a bolt gun. They're legs are also weak and cannot carry they're weight. My boyfriend said that it didn't bother him because they had to die some way or another, but these are the animals that feed and nourish us. Wouldn't we want them to be treated a little more kindly and with be a whole lot healthier? I know maybe, just MAYBE it was something you already knew or it just doesn't sound that bad, because its a fact of life. But you don't really know what you're eating. These animals are filthy, neglected, malnourished, sick, weak, old, or already in the process of dying when they're turned into our food. I understand there are so many different slaughtering processes and its hard to keep up with a demand for food and money, but now I don't know what brand name meats to trust. Now I understand why there have been so many diseases and recalls on the meats at wal-mart super centers and everything. My boyfriend is very wrong. I'm scared to eat meat now because of all the diseased meat being recalled lately AND I just saw this? Raising healthy animals and giving them some form of human death before slaughtering them is a fact of life, not eating tainted livestock that could ultimately spread disease and kill thousands of people. Whats even worse is the people who work in the slaughterhouse and here these squeals and howls of these dying animals every day. They probably always wreak of blood, as they should. If you can read this and say "whatever" no, it does not make you heartless. It is sad but like my BF said, its a fact of life. Its been going on for years. However, it does mean that you must not be totally aware of this situation. Its not just about animal rights or save the poor animals, its about saving OURSELVES as well. After seeing about the turkey and chicken, I can honestly say I understand now why two different batches of chicken I bought within the past two months went rotten way before the sell by date. I didn't put this in the debate thread because I'm pretty sure most people would read this and agree with me. But I was to hear what everybody else has to say about it. Could this really be the reason why disease has been found in our meat products lately? How do you feel about meat now after reading this? Did you already know about this? What do you think we can do about it? And any other feedback you can think of would be nice to hear, too!
I just checked this bulletin on another site that my friend posted.. It made me bawl my eyes out and I almost threw up. It was about animal cruelty.. and the had these little cages filled up with so many puppies and kittens you honestly couldn't tell where one animal stopped and the other began, and they were just tossing them off of the back of a truck or the top of this huge van. They had some kind of animal in a plastic bag and put it in a pot of boiling water.. and so many other horrible things!! I'm so sick right now. I'm sorry I know I'm more intelligent and could come up with better conversation in the Intelly Disc. but I'm so horrified right now I just needed to vent. I had to hold my dog and cry after I watched it, but it seemed kinda like he knew and he was saying "Its okay" to me with his eyes. It helped me feel better ^-^
Alright, so I was viewing the heaven/hell thread about Hitler and Gandhi and it reminded me of this long discussion I had with my boyfriend about what happens when you commit suicide because my brother mumbled something about being dead/killing himself that was very close to a threat for suicide. I made a comment that I hoped he wouldn't and I was very depressed about it, and I said that if he did make such a horrible choice I hoped to see him many years from now when I passed away. My boyfriend said he hoped I WOULD NOT see him when I passed away because I was too good of a person to go to hell. So, my brother should go to hell even though he believes in God and is a single parent, taking care of two of his three kids with a little help from me here and there because he couldn't handle life's pressures? No matter what religion you are, even if you're atheist or agnostic, do you believe suicide should be an instant ticket to hell if God really does exist? Despite how much I love my brother my boyfriend made a valid point out to me. If you kill somebody and you're a murderer, you have time to realize what you did was wrong and to ask for forgiveness from God. However, if you commit suicide, the last thing you did in your life was commit a sin and you didn't have the time to regret it or ask for forgiveness, or do any good in your life to make up for it. So I believe my brother would have gone to hell, and I'm glad he did not commit suicide because I plan on visiting him in heaven. I don't believe you go to hell for it because it was the ultimate insult to God to take away the very life he gave you. If it was such an insult then that would mean that a murderer or serial killer would go straight to hell to for taking away life that he granted others. I believe you go to hell for it if in the last few seconds of your life you don't regret or beg for forgiveness.
Any of our late teens and twenties members remember watching this everyday after school on Fox Kids? I just remembered because my boyfriend still likes power rangers and stuff, and he had the whole first season on DVD. Now don't confuse MIGHTY MORPHING PR with shows before and after it. I'm talking about the particular series of it with Trini, Kimberly, Billy, Tommy, and those other two guys I can't remember because these four were the only ones I liked xD!!! Mighty Morphing is the one I grew up watching and I haven't been interested in it much since then, but to be completely honest I'm interested in the new Jungle Fury coming out on Jetix soon. It makes me feel kinda lame because I am a girl, and I'm 19, and I've found a long lost love of power rangers. Is that a bit odd? Lol
Okay.. so I looked through the past few pages and didn't find anything and searched "katamari" and still nothing came up. So if this has been brought up before I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any topics on it so I made a new one =] So who here loves Katamari? I know its a few years old, but I recently (less than a month ago) started playing it because my boyfriend bought it. Its addicting! The title is so perfect for it. I don't get it. All you do is roll random objects into a ball. But its so captivating! My favorite level is the one where you eventually get to roll up whole cities and godzilla and stuff, and the islands and giant whirlpools. I don't even really pay attention to what the characters are saying and the little cut scenes, I just roll stuff up. I think its funny how you always get criticized because its not big enough or you're too slow, though. My favorite cousin is June =] So do you guys think its stupid, or is it fun? Whats your favorite level? Who's your favorite cousin?
Hello! I was led here by the many amazing KH parodies on youtube. I decided to join the forum because I loved KH I and plan on borrowing KH II from a friend to play soon =] Hmm.. I also wanted to try making some AMVs and whatnot of my own. Is there any specific area in the forum to post asking for help, like what programs to download and whatnot? If so, could somebody please point me in that direction? In the meantime.. a little about myself.. !! My middle name is Marie, and you may call me by that. I'm 19, and I first played KH when I was 15 (I still have not beaten it!) I could never get past Ursula and eventually my playstation 2 broke so I gave up many games and sold them to buy a new one. Obviously I'm new here. I'm a pretty nice and respectful person and I love contructive criticism! I hope to be posting a lot here in the forum, and hello!
