My illness: Emphysema

What Is Emphysema? Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. These toxins destroy the small air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, that stretch as they transport oxygen from the air to the blood and then shrink as they force out carbon dioxide. As a result, the lungs lose their elasticity, and exhaling becomes difficult as the damaged lungs trap air and cannot effectively exchange it with fresh air. As the damage progresses, the effort needed to breathe increases and, ultimately, each breath becomes labored. (Illustration provided by the American Medical Association.) Emphysema is one of a group of lung diseases referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can interfere with normal breathing. Other diseases that come under COPD include asthma and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), nearly 16 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of COPD, and COPD is the fourth-ranking cause of death just behind heart ailments, cancers, and stroke.

Time to get creative

Well for those who know that I have quite a bit of a creative side, I one more time have to develop for someone on imvu (as requested) by recreating an item I made some time ago, but with a slight difference, as I created an animated fire ring, which now has been requested to be made as an animated fire necklace.

Meanwhile, Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 has seen me creating a story in create a storyline.
The inspiration for this story came to me after seeing the Million Dollar Man and after seeing the Donald Trump buys Raw off of Vince McMahon storyline in the WWE.
My create a storyline would be based around the Million Dollar Man who offers Vince McMahan alot of money to buy Raw.
Although Vince is saddened to part with Raw, he couldn't refuse because of the price that was offered by The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.
However, The Million Dollar Man takes advantage over Vince being distracted by his family problems, as Vince forgot to read the small print when signing the agreement.
The Million Dollar Man points this out to Vince that he took advantage, but he DID give him the correct money, for he doesn't own Raw, he owns a part of it, as The Million Dollar Man now owns half of the WWE.
With Vince feel distraught and outraged, Vince offers to pay the Million Dollar Man back the money he paid, Dibiase refuses, then Vince offers double, Dibiase refuses yet again and then points out that he considers this as a major investment and would like to buy Vince's half of the WWE.
Vince refuses the offer, so it seems that both men are not willing to sell their half of the company.
Later, The Million Dollar Man issues to every WWE superstar an opportunity of a life time, by working for him, under his payroll, and forming a new coperate faction.
My wrestler (Omega) mentions to Vince that he'll be bringing a new world order to the WWE, the nWo that will be rebuilt and renewed with brand new members who oppose against the Million Dollar Man despite that some superstars will choose to fight alone.

Out with the old (2009) and in with the new (2010)

Well as the dawn slowly closes an ending to yet another year, we soon say goodbye 2009 and hello to 2010.
This year had much shocking developments and happiness & joy for some people in the world, so we all have something to celebrate in our own senses.
A celebration to a successful year perhaps, or if you're on my band wagon, a celebration in conquering the tough challenges that 2009 had thrown at you.
But if anyone's like me, then ring that damn bell already because I'm ready for what 2010 has to throw at me.
I close off my Christmas and 2009 with an injured face, and hope to begin anew when 2010 begins when I heal, and get compensation from the bastard that did this to me.
Have a good christmas and a happy new year.

T'is the season to be....full of flu?

I had been feeling a little under the weather lately, it wasn't flu related thankfully, but I had been getting increased fatigue & quick flashes of dizzy spells, but so far, all is being well now.
And on that note I just wanna say one more thing "GO OUT AND BUY ASSASSIN'S CREED 2" :p it's a really cool game :)

If only...

When I joined EO in version 25, after a couple of weeks I thought EO had the potential to become a great online game, that all suddenly changed once Vult-r started fading interest for his online game.
But, if EO were still on the road to success, Vult could've hired more admins opened up another server with different items & a different name, let's just say for an example "Endless Online: Reign Of Chaos", I'm sure it would've made half the population of EO happier, but it's all a dream now since Endless Online is falling fast like roller coaster rolling down but with no track at the bottom to prevent any casualties.

If I could make a TV series

It would be about a man who discovers he has the ability to have his soul leave his body when he sleeps, his body would remain in a sleepful nature, but he soon realises his new found ability comes with a price, the price that he must hunt down and capture all spirit demons.
Sure it wont be a simple task for our hero, as he battles demons even poltergeists, and buy his side will be his new found lady friend who can see spirits including souls.
Down the heroes path he'll encounter some problems, such as finding himself stuck in the spirit world while his body remains in a coma, and one night while on a demon spirit hunt a powerful spirit demon who can possess bodies takes over his body while our hero remains as a spirit, they even would be points where our hero gets woken up by something or someone from the slightest phone call to the sound of road works while on a mission.

Working on my first pixels since reformatting

I've started work on a Ninja outfit which will be a part of a patch in future...that's the plan atm anyway, so I thought I'd show you what it looks like with the mask almost done, but I do have concerns over it though.



I like the face mask and the bandana on top of the head at least, so I'm thinking whether the black parts should stay or go...I feel it may look better if it went, but I guess only one way to find out is if I try it.

Hmm, I still can't yet decide...

Online Gaming

Well just thought I'd say since alot of you wont know...I have tried Runescape before, but in my opinion it's too slow and too dull for my liking, and sure EO maybe falling into the darkest deepest parts of the shit pit right about now but because there's very few decent people on there, and some of them I happen to know, that is one of the reasons I keep playing it.

Now if you want my advice, one game is probably not worth investing in is Champions Online where you get to create your own super hero and choose his/her powers.
Sure this may sound really fun and good to you which at this point even I'd believe it does too, but the things that lets it down is not only does it lag but also not only have you got to buy the game from your local video gaming retail store, after 30 days of registering your game, anyone who wishes to carry on playing the game has to pay a stupid amount of money to subscribe so they can carry on playing.
So this game would be a hell of alot better if you have the option to play offline aswell as to be free rather than to subscribe, since the makers of the game have failed to realise one of the game makers most important rule in creating a game is "to make sure the users/buyers get their moneys worth", and for Champions Online all I can say is it's a rip off, all I have to hope for now is I hope DC Universe Online wont make us subscribe when that gets released.

Honey I'm hooooome....

Ok I've decided maybe I'll come back on here more often and do some blogging.
I've had some stressful times trying to sort out my laptop after suffering the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death....but so far all is good, but there's still some stuff to install.

I now associate myself with the likes of: Sims 3, Football Manager 2009, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (all for the PC), FIFA 10, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Need For Speed Shift, Disgaea 3 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (all for the Playstation 3).
Speaking of Need For Speed Shift, I had myself a race with a few people, and one of them was with an admin for NFS Shift...I did alot better than I thought I'd do against who I consider to be "The best" since he's one of the men behind the game, I had 5 races, and in two of them I came 2nd but came close to finishing in 1st.

Plans for the near future: Yes I may consider in making my own server in future, I do learn quickly and I am talented so it's a 50/50 chance I may become good at it or not, but for the time being I shall just make a patch for me to test on main which if I do decide in making my own server my patch will be used, and some of you might be disappointed to hear that I had lost all my pixelated work from the Mario hats to the Moonwalker tux & The Squirtle outfit, so I'll probably have to start all those from scratch.
