Great Day!

Had myself a great day today! Went over to Gamestop and bought Hyperdimension Neptunia and reserved Records of Agarest War: Zero. Over 130 dollars in total! Been working hard at the story recently and I've made good progress on it, but that's gonna be on hold until I beat my most recent game. I'm gonna be entranced by this thing for a while, so I may not update the blog much. Til then, I will be playing away!

Second Poem

Alright, here's another poem. One I wrote quite a while ago, and it's a little deeper than the last one. It's kinda like a summary to my younger life.

Future In Distant Past

By: Cory Clark

They wondered why I always worked

Even during playful days

I remained inside to further my distant future

They wondered why I was such a killjoy

Why fun was forbidden in my eyes

The end to all joy

They wouldn't understand

The pain past put me through

And All thanks to them

The harbingers of my fate

You brought this to me, why take it back now?

My future was decided

The day I was declared "outcast"

By the ones I thought to be friend

My future was decided

When I remained alone

To rot in what you left me in

You shunned me

Were you afraid?

Of the different, of the oddball?

You left me all alone back then

Why should I just let you take it all back?

Nobody was there

To hold my hand through the pain

Through the fear and despair

Nobody was there

To call my own

To call my friend

I sat in the dark, cold and alone

And began my future

As the better man in this unfortunate past

I dwelled on this negativity so long

That I just let go and forgot about them

I worked day and night

To make myself

Who I've always wanted to be

I worked day and night

To show them all their error

To prove my worth as the warrior

Study and work

Patience and time

But all alone still, in my darkened home

I ordered my family to stay out

This was my fight, and my victory

In the end

Now I'm the one looking down on them

On the pedastal of the future I made

In the end

You all beg for help, for my friendship

Too late for that

Endless facade of the warped world

Wanting what you've already thrown away

Now who's fault is that?

You weren't there to share my past

Why the hell would I give you my future?

Call me cold, call me cruel

I'm the steel soldier in this mess

Exactly as you all made me

And now in these fruitful days

I grow stronger and better

With no ties to my broken past

To hold me back from this future

I am a master of my future

My mind is my ultimate weapon

I see things your still blind to

And now I succeed

Where you all failed

Tell me now

Do you regret leaving me alone?

Tell me now

Do you regret your past sins of hate?

You try and try to pull me from my world

Bring me back to your hateful land

Have fun in the dark, barbarians

I'll just stay here in the light that you gave me

In the bright future I made

When I didn't have to listen to your worthless words

Somewhere in the mess though

There was one light that shined

In the jet-black dark

Somewhere in my studies

I made the discovery I never regret

The inspiration, the reason for life

In the chaos of study and progression

I came across something unbelievable

The one thing I didn't think existed

One person I could call friend

A light telling me to move on

I listened

To this single hope

Studies put aside for his sake

I listened

Enjoyed this discovery

Reaped it's benefits

I think that it was worth diverging

From the endless work

To better see this friend

The only light by my side

And the only thing keeping me going

Today

I still keep my friend

And hope to make more

Today

I leave my past behind

For a brighter future

My future's set and so is his

Paths intertwine one day

To succeed together soon

Life moves on at steady pace

Leading me to a better place

My studies can wait

It's time to enjoy the childhood

I never had

Completely Drained...

This day has just been dull and tiring. Absolutely nothing happened in school, not even studying or review. Just all out messing around. Nothing eventful at all. Then I get home and I have to till up the garden AGAIN, and hoe it too. My arms are killing me, my head is throbbing and sweaty. And the day isn't even over with. I'm gonna cut this one short and save people from my complaining. I'll tell you now, I'm ready to just lay down and go to sleep.

Back to the Same Old, Same Old...

Been a heck of a day going back to school today. We had most of the first few hours knocked out due to some college prep test that I really didn't care for. I ain't going to college so I couldn't care less. Either way, I finished my seven hours in that hellhole and got home for a little work on the story. Things are still rolling along with that good ol' story. I'm also thinking of posting up another poem soon, debating on how well my last poem was reviewed. Never did get a review so I'll just wait till someone comes along to maybe say something. I played a little Fiesta with my good friend Alex and we really got some good work done. Exciting times I must say.

I got done writing and playing and I went off to take my well deserved shower, nice and hot like I love it. But wouldn't you know, the moment I get back I notice that I missed one of my friends get on that I was waiting on. Frustrating but conversations saved for tomorrow I suppose. I'm gonna top off the night with some loud music and typing so that'll be it for this blog post. I'll get up my next blog tomorrow...

Closing to the End of Something Great

Over 6 months of hardcore work, and I'm finally nearing the end of my story I've been working so hard on. I've done great work on this thing, made it exactly as I wanted to, down to every little perfection. Once I'm finished with it, I'll have to decide if it's worthy of publishing. I don't think it is, but at least I feel accomplished sticking with this for so long. I feel great today, I feel like I've really gotten somewhere. This day has just been fantastic for me. I got to talk with my favorite friends, got the house to myself for a few hours, churned out my favorite music at the loudest I could get it, and got so much progress done on the story. School resumes tomorrow, but I'm hoping that these last 20 days of school go by quick. The sooner I get my story done the better. Then I'll just need to decide what to do afterwards. I might continue this series even further with a sequel, or maybe spend some time beefing up this single issue. Either way, I'm glad that I'm nearly finished with this story. I can't describe how much this thing means to me.

First Poem

Okay, this will be my first poem put up on here. Due to request from a friend, I will put up this one. It's not my best work by any means, but I can't deny a request. Enjoy...

Moonlit Angel

By: Cory L. Clark

Silvery sun come light the woodland

Home to trees divine and a vivid scene

Sublime moon revives my ancient path

Leading to my angelic midnight dream

My step has not trot this path

Since my days of youth and energy

As I walk with the moon as my guide

I near the field I wished to see

I stopped dead, once my eyes caught glimpse

Of a beautiful angel dancing under the black sky

The starry lights bounced off her white dress

This girl was much more to the normal eye

I watched as she leapt amongst my field

The black cloak of trees hiding me

I dare move forward, to see better this angel

but even in shadows, she happened to see

Silence imbued the majestic wood

But I saw not fear in her eyes

Soothing forest working it's midnight magic

And soon the tension dies

Now facing the glowing night

She gifts a smiling face

Her looks of innocence

Add to the warm embrace

I emerge from shadows cast

By the trees I once held dear

I gaze upon the summer stars

And to the angel, I draw near

Being near this young, sweet angel

I feel the warm, heavenly light

"Please stay, be with me"

She said with the symphony of the night

Time simply didn't exist

While we sat, hand-in-hand

Staring up to the midnight moon

That lights my forgotten land

The night isn't without end

As the sun forces out the moon

Night guardians now find rest

For dawn was approaching soon

We smiled to each other and stood watching

The ending of our night

"I hope we meet again sometime" She said

As she faded out of sight

I felt great loss

But inside I was well

For there will be other nights

To see my moonlit angel

Fruitful Day Today

I've had a pretty good day today, other than accidentally sleeping in til nearly 10 in the morning. I spent a while on Fiesta and finally hit level 45 after about a week of in-and-out work. Then later on I hopped off of there and worked on my story for a while. I was thinking of making the story available for the public to see but that's a VERY iffy kind of thing. If anything I'd post up chapters of it on here every now and again, but like I said that's very iffy right now. I did also get a pretty decent poem done a little after finishing working on the story. Pretty good for only a half an hour of work, but whenever I listen to music I always get good work done fast.

Besides the usual hobbies, today I got to watch a new house being built near mine. My grandma and I spent around an hour trying to figure out what this one wierd looking truck was. We still have no clue what it is, but the construction crew pumped the thing full of four cement truck's worth of cement. The new house is gonna have one heck of a basement with all that cement. It's pretty cool to watch all that stuff happen. From what my grandma's heard one of our school's old substitute teachers is moving in there. Too bad she was the most dull person I've ever seen. I don't think you could've paid that woman to show a little emotion.

Not much else going on, other than an old friend of mine called last night. 15 years old and he's gonna be a daddy. Now, I thought the kid was messing with me, but when I thought about who I was talking to, I could believe it. The funny thing about it is that the girl he got pregnant told him if she gives birth he isn't going to be exposed to any form of video games cause she's gonna sell his Xbox for money. All I could tell him was "Good luck dealing with that. You got yourself in this mess, now you get to deal with it." Hope he isn't serious 'bout that cause if he is he's in deep trouble.

It's gonna be raining over here for the majority of my spring break, which is kinda good cause that means I don't have to do any yard work. Good thing too, cause I've been having a pretty good day today...

Exhausting Day...

So exhausting today, I had to mow the lawn in 30 degree weather so my sweat turned ice cold. Got done with that and I was ready to drop dead. Then I had to take out 7 bags of garbage not even fifteen minutes after that and they weighed like 30 pounds each. Got done with that and then every half an hour I would have to take all three dogs out. I decided that after all that I was going to take a long, hot, shower. I feel better now, but I could've done without the long day. I still made time to play my games but mostly I stayed on Fiesta. I'm gonna be up all night now that I've taken my shower, which if I do it's gonna be a long night

I happened to get a few videos up on Youtube too. Mainly Halo: Reach forge maps, but good ones at that. I hope to maybe find time for some anime watching tonight off Netflix. I also got one of my poems redone so now it's rhyme scheme works a little better. But for now, it's time to just relax and enjoy........

First Blog

First time blogging. I've done v-logs before but they're too boring to keep going, so I'm just gonna stick with the simple stuff. I'll post up many things, different and diverse, but other than the occasional blog post don't expect much. I'll say right now, I'm very boring....

I'll post more stuff up later and customize the blog too, but this will be it for now.
