My life has become a very complex U2 song

Well first off, I apologize for being on vacation and not being able to blog. Sorry about that.

Well now I guess I'll start on my first really personal entry. Now I know nobody reads this blog and nobody cares about my personal problems, but I'm doing this anyway.

So there is this girl at school who was in my science class. The first time I saw her I almost at that moment fell in love with her. And then my teacher made us sit next to each other. And began to love her more. The day school ended, I told her that I was in love with her. She said that she wanted to be friends and said some other stuff that made me realize that she was a person who could actually see inside of me and who could see past the geekiness that envelopes me.

Well we e-mailed each other back and forth and I really don't know what happened but the next e-mail she sent me made it sound like she hated me. And I've been on my knees begging for forgiveness from her, but all she is giving me is hurt. But what makes it harder is that when I see her or think about her, I feel that she is the one. Yes, the one and that she is right. Right now, she is hurting me because I care about her and love me but she acts like she hates me. And for one moment, one small moment when we sat next to each other that she liked me too. But now I know that was probably just wishful thinking. All I want is her to just talk to me. So if your reading this please talk to me. And if anyone else is reading this, please try and help me, because I need it more than you think.

Lots and lots of Lego

This week I bring you lots and lots of Lego, courtesy of Brickworld. Last week was the biggest convention for adult Lego fans, Brickworld. With it brings lots and lots of news of new custom Lego parts from 2 big Lego customizers: BrickArms and BrickForge. First up, BrickArms.

One of my favorite new customs is the Lewis Gun. And yes, the magazine is removable.


Also coming at you, the machete and KA-BAR, which allow you to make a cool Rambo mini-fig.






The M21 Sniper Weapons System is also very, very cool.


The baseball bat and cleaver make it easy for your ApocaLego mini-figs to own zombies.



2 new James Bond weapons have also been released- the Spy Carbine and Golden Gun.




Here is the official lowdown on all the upcoming weapons, straight from the horse's mouth.

Cleaver - Prototype only. Design is finalized. Will eventually see mass production.
Machete - Prototypes only. Two versions were distributed in a variety of colors: one with a lip on the handle and one without. The design is still being finalized. Will eventually see mass production.
KA-BAR - Prototype and included in a special BA custom Commando fig. Existed in a variety of colors including trans-colors. Will eventually see mass production.
Golden Gun - Prototypes only. Existed in a variety of colors including trans-colors. Unlikely to ever see mass production, but may be available beyond the Spy Contest prizes at some point in the future. Design is final.
Spy Carbine - Prototypes and included with a special BA custom White Tuxedo Bond figure. Decision regarding mass production still in flux as is the design of the accessory.
Needler-inspired accessory - Only included with a special BA custom Marine fig. Will never see mass production due to the complexity of the process to produce the item (multiple molds and over-injecting).
Baseball Bat - Available for purchase in a variety of colors. Design is finalized. Will eventually see mass production.
Lewis Gun - Prototypes only. Design still in flux. Will eventually see mass production.
Brodie Helmet - Prototypes only. Design is final. Will eventually see mass production.
MGL - Prototype only. Design still in flux. May or may not see mass production given certain design difficulties.
M21 Sniper rifle - Prototype only. Design still in flux. May or may not see mass production.

We hope to see more of these awesome prototypes in the future.
