The End Truly Complete?

Hello, all! Tuna here, again! Long time, no see!

For those of you who know me well enough. I am an avid listener and big fan of everything Coheed and Cambria.

I just got finished watching the DVD that came with the Year of the Black Rainbow special edition. I almost cried. In the 30 minutes, I got to watch Claudio and the gang in their work in finishing the concept known entirely as Coheed and Cambria. With finding closure to the story line of the fiction the band was named after, there is no longer any visible direction for them to travel.

Near the beginning of this mini-documentary, Claudio stated that circa post-No World for Tomorrow, he hit a creative wall. He hit it hard. Almost to the point of giving up and leaving the beginning open-ended for interpretation. That, of course, wasn't the case after they have turned over probably the finest piece of the puzzle also known as The Amory Wars. Or as Claudio stated, "If there were no band tomorrow, this would be the perfect album to represent us."

So does this mean the end of Coheed and Cambria? If so, will Claudio finish writing all the books for us die hards or even fans of the novels to come? Also, is Claudio going to continue work on developing his side project, The Prize Fighter Inferno? That is another fantastic piece of his creativity. If they aren't through, how are they going to go about it? Will they be known as Coheed and Cambria anymore? There's just so many questions that are, unfortunately, to early in their phases to answer.

All I ask is that Claudio continues expressing himself. Whether it through his music, literature, comics, or whatever he deems necessary. Who knows, maybe his works will take form through motion picture (i.e. Amory Wars movie?, Kill Audio cartoon?, etc.?). Whatever it may be, I will remain a worthy follower. If it weren't for the current workings of Claudio Sanchez, I would not be the person I am today. My discovery of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 in 2003 was a large turning point in my life which could all be discussed in an entire blog entry in itself. His creativity in investing his life experiences into this fantastic piece of fiction that has produced so many great albums, comics and now a book have all inspired me to take the direction in my life I have and am still aspiring to today.

Let's all just pray that whatever path Claudio may choose in the future will be for the best. Only then will the world learn of change to come.

Yours forever!

My Strange Dream

The following are events from dreams I had the night of February 3, 2010 as far as my memory will allow me to recall.

Walking around Wal-Mart with my friend Kelsey. We get to the children clothing isles and a girl vaguely resembling Kelsey's roommate, Elisia. “Oh my God! I love you! I want you!” She says. Quickly and rudely, I raise my hands into the air and respond, “Well, I want hot dogs to appear in my hands, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.”

Memory fades.

Same Wal-Mart, my friend, Jordan spots unassembled cabinet and comments on it. We stay and talk about it and start messing with it. Employees appear to finish putting it together. I help while Jordan watches and gets distracted by another display in the sports isles.

Larger chunk of memory missing.

In my suite, I am yelling loud and rude things. My roommate, Ethan begins to spaz out, attempting to signal to me that my other roommate, Ben's parents are here. Only he is around the corner where they can see him, but not me. They begin leave. Girls arrive and disappear into Ben's room. One is somewhat familiar. As Ben's parents leave, Ethan quickly begins miming as if he were pulling a heavy object down the hall, wearing a shit-eating grin, just to cover his spaz-out. Time passes by and the girls, shirtless, leave Ben's room. I avert my eyes behind the open suite door to avoid getting caught looking, trying to figure out what is going on. After clothing herself, the one that I vaguely recognized, noticed me and began speaking as if we knew each other. She insisted on entering my room, just to see what it looked like. I implore her not to, as it is nothing special and is messy. She ignores me and forces her way into my room. She looks around at my décor, faking interest. She begins closing my door while making some sort of subtly seductive comment. I assert my confusion and she rephrases/reiterates. She then makes one more, much more obvious statement as her face slowly approached mine. She began to kiss me. It all felt as if it were very real. Her warm soft lips touching mine, her hair brushing against my face. I was so very confused, but didn't pull away. All of a sudden, I wake up, gasping for air.

What on Earth just happened?!

That's Not How You Do It! (Random Story 1)

Hello, my name is Bubkis! I like to eat squirrel poo on the weekends. I have five sisters; Cindy, Rose, Jill, Liz and Belany. And that's my brother, Bug. He's a bug. He also has an extra toe on the tops of his webbed feet. He likes collecting dust mites so he can make a scale model of eBay headquarters. Someday I'm going to move to Eugene, Oregon and open my own camera shop so I can show people how to bust a move. There's a hole in my bed where I like to put creamed corn and raspberries. I call RasperCorn! It tastes like happy. My mom is sick so she has to drink lots of cough medicine. Then she gets angry and throws my pewter figurines at my sisters. Ok, well I have to go teach my pet fly how to do long division. Kbye!

The Magic of High-Speed Photography

High-speed photography really is a wonderful thing. You can capture a simple everyday occurrence, and see the magic of the world right before your very eyes. Millisecond after millisecond.

It has become an art. Trying to capture the most abstract, beautiful moments that happen naturally in every day life. Some people manage to find some of the most magnificent still moments.

There truly are no words to describe the emotions these pictures evoke. You just have to see it for yourself.

The one photo that I'm most taken by is this. It is so surreal. From the one selected moment in time of this one specific event, whatever it may have been, a scene that seems unnatural. It looks as if it were one of those modern abstract desktop wallpaper art scenes, but it isn't it's simply a still in nature.

Please, check it out!

The First FPT (First-Person Tetris)

Regular Tetris just doesn't cut it these days. We need a challenge! For us real Tetris players, this is very refreshing. I've spent hours, hell even days of my life just playing Tetris, so I need a good challenge like this every once in a while.

Not only that but it just gets me that its the original NES Tetris in a setting most old school gamers are familiar with. My onw experiences are slightly different, though, since I started out with a Sega Genesis/Megadrive. The empty room/apartment where a crappy little Toshiba sits on the floor. An unprogrammed JVC VCR rests on top with the lights flashing. Some video tapes are sprawled atop the VCR. Some store bought, some bootlegged TV shows and/or home movies. And to top the whole scene off, a small plant sits, adding atmosphere to the classic gaming scene.

Enjoy!

Reptile So Small It Can Fit on a Pencil Top

Oh, my God.

Pardon the constant posting of science/animal stories, but this one is just plain fascinating.

It is simply mind blowing that there is such a vast amount of species being discovered. That is all aside from what actually exists out in some of the undiscovered parts of the world. There may even be a group of human being whom have never known of the existence of other human life.

To think that just in one little area in the world there are such strange forms of animals we know today. A gecko small than the eraser on a pencil. A transparent frog you can see its beating heart among other working organs! A snake whose head and eyes are much larger than we are used to that can siphon its victims from their shells. The list just goes on!

The fact that all things adapt to their environment for optimal survival is all you need to know to figure out that there are too many species of animals for the human mind to even fathom. It is just a crying shame human-kind won't have the opportunity to view all the beauties and wonders of the Earth.

The world has been around for billions and billions of years. Enduring so many ice ages and everything in-between. There are trillions and trillions of species in our time. There had to be just as much (if not more) in each era. So does that mean human beings existed in those times as well?

Okay. I'm getting in far too over my head. I could theorize and hypothesize for hours on end.

And with that, I bid you all good night.

Sheep Gives Birth to Human-faced Lamb

Interesting...

It's a shame it died before any research could be conducted on it!

Now, the story about the goat from Zimbabwe really pisses me off. I understand a little village in Zimbabwe doesn't exactly have the most scientifically curious individuals in the world. And it's a damn shame. If scientists could get their hands on that goat before the people killed it and burnt its body, I'm sure the results would be more complex and interesting than bestiality. Even if bestiality were the result, the genetic makeup had to help make some sort of scientific advancement knowing a goat's and a human's genetics actually interacted with one another. I only hope another one of these..."creatures" are given birth in the near future. I want to know whether this is an every day genetic mutation (i.e. more/less ligaments, two heads, etc.) or there is some other explanation.
