Pronunciation Guesses: Ixenzo

So, here on Pronunciation Guesses, I search out a name I am confused of on how to pronounce, and I will list all guesses of said name. The first person I'd like to guess on is our very own Ixenzo! Ixenzo was the person who inspired me to create this once I declared him the second d0! (d0 is a well known price suggestor who has a confusing name, however, he has already stated how it is pronounced, so we have no guesses for him!) I'll create a new entry when I have thought of more!   Main Gues

A description

The bright light of the laptop uses his body as the filling for a mold, casting his shape across the wall in absence and not light. In such, it lacks any defining color at all. A shadow can be both very descriptive of an object, and yet not be projecting that object itself but rather the absence of that object. I think that's pretty cool. The shadow cast by the light of the laptop is narrow because it's source is much larger than the object blocking it, and around the neck there is a lighter are

The infection

The boy's mother walked around the house, in a cleaning ritual that marked the beginning of the weekend. The smell of fruit and paraffin intertwined in the air, the boy thought offhandedly that it must be canning season. His mother looked at him, and gave him an odd look, her eyes growing round and large on her face, not figuratively but anatomically. "The door." she said, staring unseeingly. She repeated the phrase multiple times, and though the word she used was door, he knew she wasn't talk

Such is the nature of the world

Ever from shapeless molds we cleave All of our grandest deceptions Frantically we search for much needed reprieve Ironically necessitated by their inceptions In them we our darkest secrets hide In an effort to maintain our pride Effortlessly given and not left contrite Flightless birds given new height Dishonestly contrived, In politics thrived, An intricate trap laid for the listener Is often the penance of the sinner This is the nature of a dishonest world Such that Atlas his weig

A memoir

Light the candle, I'll show you the way Into the darkness, into the decay Bring a sword, we may enter a fray But don't pack heavy, not long will we stay Don't wander off, danger leads you astray And fear not, all of your fears I will allay.   Don't worry about your body, it will mend To our precious cargo you must tend The things here will leave you sickened Don't look into their eyes, to their will you will bend Claws, teeth, dripping with a deadly cocktail blend Don't let yourself

Potato Chip Nonsense

This bag of chips, it sits across the path from me. Not a path, but the gap between one side of the counter and the fridge, which separates it from me by about four feet of air, and some counter. It is definitely out of reach, not that I'm interested in grabbing it, just staring at it. I opened it earlier, and when I pulled at the opposing sides in the center like is traditionally done, it opened and ripped down the side. Not all the way to the bottom, but to about an inch before the chips actua

There once was a fish

It purported to produce progeny And upon its untimely wish It was overwhelmed, too many The gaping hole of it's stomach opened Out poured thousands of new kin Taken aback by the copious flow One must wonder how it's so Fish spawn oh so many And in the end remain few Some slaughtered, served as soup, Others swim away, merely on a whim Fish are such a mystery A food source throughout history Some extinct and on the bottom of the ocean Their remaining layers reside All are cannibals,

The cat that took a piss

The cat meandered along, staring at the ground intently. It was down on it's luck, it's owner having pampered it by feeding it wet food daily, and taking good care of it's coat. Indignant and frustrated, it pranced back and forth across the house. A short trip to the water bowl quenched none of it's innate frustration, so it leapt to the counter. It landed softly and without making a noise. Glancing up at the clock with it's eyes, it would have known the time to be past midnight if it could read

Alfie's Temporary Leave of Absence

Yeah... I've realised I've made some mistakes... some I think you can interpret yourself.   It was just some good, light-hearted jokes. Some jokes that some would consider evil if they understood. I consider these thoughts an abomination.   I never want to show off how much I listen, how much I learn, and how much I understand. I am but an ignorant fool. I am only in a beginner's class, yet I strive to learn more everyday.   I can't really think of how to describe it anymore. I'm too sleep

My love for imperfection

Lately I've been thinking a lot and I came to a strange conclusion. Perfect things aren't any fun for me.   This expresses itself most clearly in music. These days most music is enhanced, altered and edited into perfection. But to me music is the purest form of expression of human emotion. The fact that Freddie's (Queen) sometimes broke a bit, and that he once or twice missed a tone makes it feel so much more human than the "perfect" voices we hear today. But the same goes with the much rough

Budget Loadouts: Introduction

Welcome to Budget Loadouts! This is a blogging series where I will feature a budget loadout (3 cosmetic items, not including action item or weapons) for a specific class. A budget loadout is a loadout whose total suggested value by backpack.tf is lesser than or equal to a key, at the time of writing.   Paint might also be featured occasionally, if so, I consider its value to be half of the suggested value on backpack.tf of the paint can.   Feel free to comment on any entry I make, I read all

rfc- Proposing a new suggestion rule for newly added items

I decided to blog this first before making a post in order to hear some initial feedback (rfc, or request for comments).   Newly added items have trouble getting an initial price, especially now with the removal of trade.tf's 'closed trades'. That's because they require sellers, and unlike with some items where buyers are sufficient because their value is outdated (which are easy suggestions, btw), it can be a real pain and a time consuming mess to find some quality proof. To make things worse

Random Fire Emblem Facts

In the first game, critical hit rate is determined by (skill + luck)/2   In the first game, Marth has 3 swords only wielded by him: Rapier, Falchion, and Miracle   In FE 7, there is a super secret level in hector's mode. You need to level up the character Nils to level 7 in Lyn's portion of the game, and have to unlock 19x by killing a character w/ ridiculous stats on the same turn you attack him.   There was talk of discontinuing the Fire Emblem series if Awakening didn't sell well, so in

Ascott IFC has the best servants. (ADVERTISEMENT)

Everyday, when I'm doing my Math homework, I sometimes fall asleep on my couch. The lights are left on, and and I waste electricity. I decided to go to my apartment's lounge to do it there. They serve free food, and it was least likely I would fall asleep there. When I got there, some servants served me some tea, biscuits, and and orange juice. Once I was finished with that, they would supply more. I didn't even ask them for any, and they gave me some anyway.   Ascott IFC has the best servants

Tales from the Chinese Teacher: 1

Tales from the Chinese Teacher, where I share with you the stories from my Chinese teacher she brings along her lessons.   If it has not been made clear, Chinese is a tonal language; which means that how you say a word will determine its meaning. There are 4 tones in Mandarin Chinese. Some students would listen and understand these tones; while executing their sounds perfectly; or in the least, good enough. Of course, there are students who fail at these tasks and have no grasp of the tones. S

Darn you little Chinese girls!

On a golf course near my apartment, I saw someone gather sand and drop it in the ground and form a heart shape. After that person left, I got a golf club and drew the Chinese character for love in the middle and drew little designs. After I was satisfied with the result, l wrote my name on a nearby sand pile. While I was doing that, some girls in green jackets came to me.   After I had finished engraving my name on the sand, I left to return the club. As I was getting out, I saw the little gir

The Learner's Words : 3

*sigh* Sure, there are problems of reading in China, but there are even more things to care about when you go to your hometown for the holidays...   1) Speaking of what I know. I am pressured to show my relatives and friends how much I know. I'm always saying the same words: "Hello, my name is Josh. I am a Philippine person. I am also an American person..." and so on because I studied a little Chinese. It does seem fun to show my progress in Chinese, but it does get repetitive.   2) Writing
