A Student's Prayer

So, I found this on a friend's MySpace profile, and after a bit of clean-up (spelling, punctuation, etc) I wanted to share it. It didn't have a title or background, so I just simply titled it "A Student's Prayer"

Now sit me down in school where praying is against the rules,
This great nation under God finds mention of Him very odd.
This scripture now the class recites, it violates the bill of rights.
Anytime my head I bow, becomes a federal matter now.
Our hair could be purple, orange, or green, that's no offense, it's a freedom scene,
The law is specific, the law is precise, prayers spoken aloud or serious vice,
For praying in a public hall, might offend someone with no fate at all.
In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, pierce our nose, tongues, and cheeks,
They outlawed guns, but first the Bible. To quote the good book, it makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant senior queen, and the unwed daddy a senior king;
It's inappropriate to teach right from wrong, we're taught that such judgment does not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth control, study witchcraft, vampires, and totem pole,
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed. No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here, I must confess, when chaos reigns, the schools a mess
so Lord this silent plea I make, should I be shot, my soul please take.
Amen.

2nd Amendment :D

Ok, so I got this as an email this evening... with the title "Actual Craigslist Personal". Thought it would be great to share, considering my position on gun control... (two hands, one cradling the hand with the gun, feet about shoulder-width apart, turned sideways to minimize profile...)

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message..

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again.

After I called your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.

Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

P.S. Remember this motto ... An armed society makes for a more civil society!

Well, hope that made your day :D it made mine, true story or not :D

hehe... <.< >.>

[Edit]

oops.. accidentally posted the previous post twice...

Time for some funnyness!

Well, again, it's been awhile, but was at a friend's house the other day and he had a short list of some pretty good groaners (what I call short, usually 2-liners, that are usually puns :D ), so I thought I'd share :D

1. Did you hear about the two cannonballs who got married and had a bb?
2. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love, and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
3. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartenders says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
4. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
5. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
6. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
7. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
8. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'"
"That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome."
"Is it common?"
"Well, 'It's Not Unusual'."
9. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you." says Dolly.
"It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
10. An invisible man marries and invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. (Or another version I hear recently which I think is a little funnier: If Carmen SanDiego and Where's Waldo ever got married, there kids would be practically invisible.)
11. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
12. I went to buy some camouflage pants the other day, but I couldn't find any.
13. I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.
14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank. Proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
16. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
17. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and withs his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him... A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Yes, they're good, they're bad, but hey :D have a good one y'all.

Well... here we are again...

Hey folks... it's been a while hasn't it? Yeah, too long... so this isn't a political spouting, it isn't an emotional ranting, it's just a quick update on the crazy awesome-looking guy known as vypr. (Yup, had a kid tell me that the other day... lol, he was like "you look AWESOME!" while his buddies were admiring my new, in-honor-of, Transformers FIFTYNINE50-style hat :D btw, the movie is freaking awesome in my opinion, seen it 4 times already :D)

So, moving on, let's see, I am currently working at Regal Cinemas making just above minimum wage, praying for some of my other applications to come through. My schooling is pretty on-track for me to graduate only a year later than expected, 2011, with a BA from UAF in Art (CS minor), and a BA from DeVry in Game and Simulation Programming. I've been going to a new church for a while, Valley of Blessing Church of God, and I really like it... its a church on fire for God, a church that isn't afraid to break the stereotype. I'm still maintaining my online profile through my Facebook, MySpace, and other sites, though, like this blog, I've been a bit lax on the updates. I've got videos I still need to edit for my YouTube, and art I need to scan in for my DeviantArt profile. But I'll get there :)

As you may have noticed, I'm now on Twitter, so feel free to follow me! ... um... yeah, so thinking of any other updates... well, I did get the chance to meet a famous (and gorgeous) person a couple of months ago at the 2009 Summer Games for Special Olympics in Anchorage, Alaska. Her name is Carly Patterson, and yes, she is my new celebrity crush. lol.

She was really sweet, and was willing to talk for a couple minutes before she left to catch her plane. Well, I guess that's all I've got for now... I'll try to be better about blogging :D Thanks all!

Wassup! So this is an email I got.. and I really liked it.. so I figured I'd post it :D

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy; The USA is here in 2008 and is headed to #7
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage."

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.If you are in favor of seeing the end to our country as we know it, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
Courage is a door that can only be opened from the inside.

yeah... I'm really tired.. otherwise I might add on some of my own commentary.. but for now, I'm just gonna leave it as is :D Ponder, think, leave comments, enjoy :D

So this is a blog post I put on my myspace, but wanted to share...

So ok... I don't know how many of you voted... some, it was made apparent the other night as the election closed... as for me... I voted for the only candidate that was against abortion, for two reasons. 1. Abortion is murder. 2. Any vote that wasn't for obama was a good vote. That's right. I DID just say that. It's my blog and I'll vent if I want to.

I could go on about how the American people are retarded for letting a smooth-talking muslim n****r pull a race card (among other things) to win a position he is clearly not fit for. But that's not the reason for this post. He's already in, there's nothing I can do about it... heck, there was nothing I could do before the voting even began! How many of you know that he was officially the new President-elect of The United States of America before the voting had even closed up here? Yeah that's right. Our votes mean squat. Again, I digress... the reason that started this post was a response to a manipulated image I created and placed on my myspace page. And yes, as my profile default image.

I am not afraid to show my humor and thoughts in a slightly macabre manner, I call 'em as I see 'em. For those of you who have looked at my picture, or those who haven't... read the inscription at the bottom. I bet most of you can't even tell me where I pulled it from. I am in no way saying that I personally want to shoot obama, however... I honestly don't expect him to survive his term. As a Christian, I am to pray for our elected officials

I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; for kings[eg. President] and all that are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity[dignity] (1 Timothy 2:1-2, ASV),

and submit to their given authority.

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. (1 Peter 2:13-17, KJV)

But also, as a Christian, I report to a higher authority, and The Almighty God has given us authority, as believers, to stand up and do what needs to be done, regardless of our earthly leaders.

Do you all really know who he is? Or can you not look past his race and see what he stands for, not who he is. We're not running a fricking popularity contest here!!! We're supposed to be deciding the fate of our NATION! Choosing the most capable man for the job, not the one that makes us "look good" because we don't let "prejudice" stand in the way. WTH??? Slavery was abolished hundreds of years ago... GET OVER IT!!! What happened to "All men are created equal"? This man who apparently, through popular vote, is now our President-elect, is one that has openly admitted to refusing to put his hand over his heart during our National Anthem, says he's a Christian, but has thrown his own church under the bus numerous times, wants to change our anthem and flag, and take away our guns.... I don't think so.

So I know that some of you may have voted for obama, and I honestly mean no disrespect or offense, it's a free country and men have died, are dying for that right. I would be doing them a grave disservice by blasting people for what they believe. As I have told many people, and I'll say it again, I cannot force anyone to believe the way I do. I can only show them what I believe and know to be true and right, and hope and pray that God opens their eyes.

But until then, as an American, I will fight to retain my right to make images that express my feelings, I will fight to retain my right to keep and bear arms, and I will most definitely fight to keep America the way it was created. ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

so I was thinking.....

So a friend of mine on MySpace just posted this bulletin (answers removed to protect parties involved) and it got me to thinking....

if you get more than 30 I strongly recommend some counseling!
If you get more than 20 you’re paranoid.

If you get 10-20 then u are normal.

If you get 10 or less you’re fearless.

People who don’t have any are full of it.

So yeah, I would have to disagree with the statement at the beginning of this.. "people who have none [fears] are full of it" no, people who have no fear understand what this life is about, and that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks, it doesn't matter what happens to you. If you know where you're going, know who you are, and know why you're here, then you have nothing to fear. My mom once told me of a sermon that she heard... the main message was that all fear was, is False Evidence Appearing Real. So while yes, at times I experience apprehension, or mild trepidation, it's not fear. You see the problem for what it is, realize that it's nothing that you can't handle, and stop being afraid of it.
I'm one of those people. At times people say I come off as cocky, or arrogant, so what? Self confidence is knowing who you are, and that nothing anybody else says amounts to a hill of beans. And when you're not afraid of anything, yeah, it can appear cocky. So that was my random vent for the day! Hope y'all have a good one!
later days,

the mess of emotions that is me....

wassup. yup, it's been a while, but I'm back! After a hellish roller coaster of losing loved ones, gaining old friends, fighting my way through my worst grades i've ever had since like, ever; getting awesomely gadget-ified, and learning to step outside my comfort zone, I think I may have just managed to equalize...lol for a while there, I was getting really worried... I was having major mood swings... I could be happy and laughing one minute, then depressed and wanting to shoot myself the next...weird. So anyways, life goes on. The real purpose of this post is really to communicate the imminent fact that (wait... did I just say communicate the imminent fact? what the heck does that mean?) ... *ahem* ok.. let's try this again :P basically, with my schedule being so freakin hectic, I have not been able to update any of my photography.. whether it be on here or flickr.. so do not worry! Although I have not been able to post them.. I do have quite a file of great shots that I can't wait to share with you all! Also the latest developments in my quest for that prestigous achievement known as the Bachelor of Arts in Game Design and Simulation! Well, it's back to work for me... peace out y'all....

R.I.P. - A North Pole Teen

vyprNOTE: I wrote this a couple days ago, but wasn't able to post it.. so here it is....


Today is a dark, dreary, and rainy day. The rain hasn't stopped since I got up this morning, of course the mood seems to fit, given the tragedy that occured not 500 ft. from my house yesterday morning. Sometime between the time I left my house (6:30am) and the time my mom left (8:00am), three vehicles were involved in a horrific crash that (according to last reports) killed a young girl, presumably on her way to school. She attended North Pole High, and will be missed by many. Though I did not know her, I work with several who did. The pictures that follow were taken after they had pulled the body(s) out and taken the black truck that was also involved, away. I have not had a chance to look at the newspaper, and we missed last night's news, so the info I have given here is not complete by any means, I only told you what I know. Here are the pics.

yet another vyprNOTE: blogger doesn't seem to want to work today, so here is the link to my flickr site. - http://www.flickr.com/gp/88932770@N00/p18pix

Well, I didn't know you Beth, but I hope you knew Christ...

life sucks.

hey wa’s happnin’…. I got a lot of stuff goin on, so in order to maintain my sanity and clean record, here’s what’s going to happen.. I am going to vent… and you all are going to pretend that I don’t exist, and I never said anything..okay? good. First off, I love my Lord Jesus Christ, and I know that He is going to bring through it all… but just like any human being.. it’s hard not to want to do it myself, and then go berserk when I can’t! So, that being said, I also love my girlfriend… but it seems to me that the timing is off…at least by a year…why a year? I don’t know.. ask her! So we’ve been together.. oh let me check my MySpace count-up… jk, for a couple months now, and….we’re “just friends” now… until next year. Then I get to “reapply” to be her boyfriend. I understand that she needs some time to get her priorities straight… between God and me, yeah God wins… but I wish… that it didn’t hurt so bad… it’s like she’s cheating with my best friend.

Okay, this is starting to sound really bad… I am painting a WAY too negative picture of her. In reality, she is a way more mature Christian than I am, and so if she needs to get some stuff right with the big man… tha’s cool. Y’all gotta help me out this next year… I got so seriously depressed when she (tried) to leave for Phoenix for Master’s Commission, and that was only going to be for a couple of months!! (she ended up coming back way sooner, but still) At least I will get to see her at least… although I don’t know if I want it that way…cuz if she was down in AZ, then I wouldn’t have to sit there across from her, and know that we can’t do the stuff we used to. GAH.. I’m rambling… oh wait… I’m allowed to do that..

You know, this got me to thinking about one of our bike rides up and down Hurst Rd… it was such a good talk, that I was going to blog about it… it was gonna be called: “On Bubbles and Bricks” or “Thoughts of Bricks and Bubbles” anyways… the gist is this… we all have our different methods of protecting ourselves when we feel threatened, right? Whether it be physically or mentally threatened… we have our defense mechanisms… well I would have to describe mine as a brick wall… it’s got one entrance and no roof.. (mind, there is no scaling this wall) only people that I allow can get through that door… and only God can get through the ceiling, or lack thereof…. Her mechanism was more of a bubble mentality… when the bubble is up.. nobody, but NOBODY gets in or out… when it’s down.. everyone has access. This way there is no safe middle ground, no “no man’s land.” Whose defense is the best? Who knows? Its not for us to decide, its up to us to adapt and be mindful of these things though.

Finally, to wrap this up a little bit.. I might be going incommunicado for a while.. just to pause.. keep my composure.. that type of thing…so keep emailing, messaging, commenting, and whatnot.. I’ll get back to you when I feel like it. To conclude however, if you are reading this Onyx Fire, or Skikkles… I love you forever and ever……

@}~ Remember the rose I gave you? I will love you until it, and mine die. ~{@

God gives and He takes away… notice how the taking away part comes last?

Alaskanz

hey what up! With the advent of my going out of state next winter, it comes to mind all the weird things you get asked when people hear that you are from North Pole... so, I have decided to create a t-shirt... yup, it's going to have a graphic of alaska with a star by North Pole, and it'll say, "Yes, I'm from the North Pole!" And on the back there will be a list. A list of clarifying statements.

Here we go!
- Alaska is NOT an island!
- Contrary to popular belief, we don't live in igloos!
- I have NEVER ridden a dogsled to school!
- Yes, I have seen Santa Claus, his name is Kris Kringle, and he runs a terr0r- I mean tourist trap just down the road and drives a Ford F250.

- We DO accept american money! (remember, we're STATE 49!)
- We DO have summer! And yes, it does get up to 90!
- Just because I'm short and from the North Pole does NOT mean I am an elf!
- We DO have a McDonald's!

- NO, I have never seen a penguin or a polar bear in person... I have seen too many moose though...

so yeah, let me know if you have any other ideas for my shirt... peace out!

Relient K Rocks!

Wassup! hey I just watched the late show with Jay Leno... why? bcuz Relient K was on! woot! they played a song that I've never heard before, which was really cool... also.. I never knew Matthew Thiessen played the piano... that's awesome! ok, i'm done now.. peace out peoplez

Photoshop Rocks!

hey all, had some spare time, so i figured I would put something up... I have been taking this really awesome class for Adobe PhotoshopCS2, and have been learning a lot.. so I wanted to share some of my work... this first one is a project that was assigned to make a certain size file with a mug shot that the teacher took...


some of the requirements for this assignment was at least three layers...text, the actual photo, and a background, with some form of opacity tweak.

This next one is a CD cover that we had to create....

the requirements for this project was (obviously) size, a gradient, a vector shape, 2 text layers (1 w/ warp, and 1 w/following a path), an adjustment layer, and a layer mask.
woot! fun fun!

Hey wassup y'all! I am here with the official list of how to properly deal with a vypr. The vypr is a very dangerous creature, and should not be pissed of at all costs... anyways, here is the list for self-preservation:

1. If you are a guy, NEVER touch me! Except for a handshake, I might mistake you for a gay fag and beat the living crap out of you...

2. If you are a girl, NEVER touch my back. I don't like people touching my back, and I might just spin around and mistake you for a guy... (see #1.) Just kidding, I never hit girls... but seriously don't go there...

3. NEVER touch my hat! You don't touch a black man's stereo, or a chinaman's CD player, and you DEFENITELY do NOT touch a vypr's hat!

4. NEVER mess with my family or friends. You WILL feel massive amounts of pain!

All right, then... now for some more deeper thinking... me and mi novia (that's girlfriend for all you spanish-challenged people) were talking and she was like:

Onyx Fire: the only thing sadder than people posting bullitens b/c they're bored and have nothing better to do is the fact that we actually read the things!!!

me: wow... that was deep....

Onyx Fire: i got distracted for a min

me: ah...k

Onyx Fire: yeah...the only thing is that wells are deep too but they're also mostly empty

Sent at 4:05 PM on Wednesday

me: oohh... wow, you are on a roll... I gotta remember these when I'm not punch-drunk from lack of sleep!

Anyways, that's all for now.. keep it weird y'all!

And were back!

Hey all, this is da vypr! I am back from Anchorage and the Special Olympics State Games with a Silver Medal in tow.. the Tanana Valley Tornados did an excellent job at State, dealing with a new team from Mat-Su, that should've been in A Division, and that didn't understand the unwritten rules of the game...then of course, there was some ...ahem... questionable calls by the referees, but oh well! All in all, it was a fun trip, and the games were fun...Here are some pictures from our trip:
