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.
