His eyes widened and cold dread washed over him, chilling to the bone, as sunlight glinted off of the crossguard racing to meet his brow. The fatality of his single mistake struck him: he had fallen for his opponents feint and put all his weight into his attack. He could do nothing to stop what was coming. He knew he had mere moments left upon this earth and as he stared into the white light beaming into his eyes, his mind withdrew to another place within another time. ...

... He fell to the ground, blood streaming from his nose. Pain blossomed within his ribs as Porricks kick connected. Hah, ya weak lil pup!
Long ago, in the land of Bananapan, there was a great warrior
- a samurai banana - named Bashou. He was the mightest samurai
in all of Bananapan! He could slay entire armies with a single
slash of his mighty sword. One day his Shogun summoned him for
an audience.
"Bashou," he said, "the kiwi ninja armies are aproaching quickly.
You MUST retrieve the Cutting Knife of Kiwi Preparation!" "I will
do it." Bashou replied. Note, he did not say he would try... for
with Bashou there is no trying, there is only success! Bashou
prepared a pack with food and set out. He did not yet know where
to go, so he decided to speak to wise Old Fukurou.
Once in a land named Yesteryear, there was a man named Twisp. Barnagus Twisp. He was a clever man, with a wife named Clarice and daughters of three: Kandy, Lily, and Moussy. One day, these three beautiful daughters had the most grave of cravings for cotton candy.
"Well, m'dears, we'll just have to go to town and get us some, won't we?" Barnagus said when the three told him of their desire. The girls jumped for joy and were out the door, holding their father's hands and dragging him along. They skipped and sang and ran along the little dirt path that led to town. Round and round this path went. Round the hills, past the fields and through a
I spent most of today going through the lolcats on www.icanhascheezburger.com. For some strange reason, I just never bothered going through any of them before. The experience was rewarding. Lots of cute pictures and lots of laughs. I find myself somewhat saddened that I am nearing the end of the archive... and I paused to realize that I have a dream!
Yes, it is a glorious dream... A dream where we shall all walk this earth carrying electronic devices of some sort and express our moods with lolcats. In a restaurant, one would simply fash this: http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/funny-pictures-something-in-cats-teeth.jp
I'm still alive, people. Barely...
I had actually nearly gotten over my crap. I was getting better every day. And then a whole shit load of crap came down on me at once and I got hit even worse. I stayed home from work all of last week (though I worked from home and did 37 of my 40 hours per week).
The great thing is that my boss understands what I'm going through and empathizes. He's taken it on himself to try and make work as stress-free as possible and that includes not sending me to any more meetings with clients (one of my trouble points that often got me sick).
Honestly, I could have hugged the guy. It's so nice to finally have
Baney, I lost my friggin' camera cable, and I have these cool things I did which I can't show anybody. How sad is my life, eh? So very sad. And so how are you, in my long absence?
Arg! You must find those camera cables! Or get new ones (or steal them from a friend).
I've been overworked. That's pretty much it for me... I work everyday (including weekends since I do some volunteer work). I'm getting really sick of working... I need to get laid, have some fun.
But I've always loved you! And I'd love you more if I hadn't already seen these awesome pictures... >_> (with the exception of the dragon which brings things to a level of awesome never before achieved!)
