Wielder of the Flame of Anor
"You cannot pass' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. ' I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass." - Gandalf's challenge to the Balrog from the Fellowship of the Ring II 5, the Bridge of Khazad-Dum. (www.glyphweb.com/arda/)
Here Gandalf is challenging the might of the Balrog of Moria, defending his friends and standing his ground. Literally Flame of Anor means "light of the sun". Basically he's referring to how he is the light to battle the darkness of the beast before him. Some believe it's gifted to him by the Valar, others say it's from Narya, the ring of Fire that he wears. I lean that way, seeing as he speaks of the FLAME. One of the three rings gifted to the race of elves, it is by far one of the more potent of the rings.
Ah yes, standing up to the darkness that closes in... age old battle, a cliche almost it would seem. Sadly it's how the world goes. But who's to say what's the darkness? It could be you and you THINK you're fighting against the darkness, when in reality it's the light... since good and bad are all relative terms. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Symbolism pisses people off because they have to think. Ha! I love it.
Ok, Ok.. for those of you cut and dry here's an update. Life's been... decent. RA interviews went well and today I have my RLC interview so I'm pretty excited about that. Dan Pauls party was fun... and not... all at once, but if you care to know you'll have to go on an individual basis as that's one of those things I don't like to leave in the deep sea of cyberspace for some random fisherman to pluck out.
I completely missed my HOC meeting this week which... just wow... I can't believe I did that. I feel so incompetent for doing it... and Duckles said it's OK everyone makes mistakes... but I SHOULDN'T, especially not as President. I let everyone down. Apparentley very few people made it... but still... it's the moral of the thing...
I need hit. Hard.
Alex went through with pledging which has me very happy. Kevin says he wants him for his little... so I'm like ... uh... ok... though I would much prefer he be in OUR family tree :) Still contemplating contesting that, but the choice lies mainly with Alex.
The Bro Squad trip to the beach seems to be losing potency... Seth never says a thing to me, John's unsure and Bryan's a no go. So... that plan is crashin and burnin...
Last night was alright... however I had a late night visit from Miss Allison. I really didn't expect her to come right then.. I was like , whoa that's nice.. I hope she didnt' mind me not getting redressed, but I was ready for bed... besides, it's not like no shirt is a big thing. Anyways... that went far worse then expected. She seemed... pretty ticked at me. No, not ticked... indignant? Perhaps... loathesome... oh that's a good one. You get the jist, she was sort of short and snippy. There you go, you know where you stand. Sorry pal. I'm just blinking in the dark like "Vas?". I don't know the whole thing was befuttling... but whatever. Then she starts going on me about my... games. What the hell? Games?! I play no games, I'm on the other end of the games normally why would I do that to someone. Making a whole lot of something out of nothing. Seriously, I don't play games. I tell her time and time again... but that doesn't matter. I'm the gamemaster *scoff*. Just makes me pretty mad. It's ok. I'll be the bad guy. I'm an asshole. We'll leave it at that, because it seems to work for her, just like most other people. I'm an asshole, and proud of it. As much as I hate using song lyrics, because that's TOTALLY lame, this is not your normal song... so here you go.

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph getting one mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheese burgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when I'm done sucking down those grease ball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and there ain't a God damned thing anybody can do about it. YOu know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why.
[Spoken]
Two words. Nuclear fucking weapons, okay?! Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won't make a lick of difference because we've got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes...
(Hey)
and Lee Marvin
(Hey)
and Sam Pekinpah
(Hey)
And a case of Whiskey and drive down to Texas...
(Hey, you know you really are an asshole)
Why don't you just shut-up and sing the song pal!
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Stupid MAC's I'll have to do it on my REAL computer.
Now I'm not trying to be mean... and I mean I do care about people but seriously... I get tired of peoples self-involved world bullcrap (not aimed at ANYONE directly) and I'm open about it. I'm also opinionated and open about that... so often I get the asshole tag. I'm ok with this. If you know me, if you want to know me or if you even just ask me, you'll find out I'm really not. The people who don't take the time to... well I don't care what they think anyways.
I could go on but it almost gets to an elitest standpoint which would boil my bunson burner, since that's another one of my big tick off points, making me mad at me and well then I'd have nothing left to go on.
Geez, this entry is so bad. At least it's not one of those... boo hoo my poor life entries.
If I ever do a boo hoo my poor life entry - hunt me down and shoot me. The world would then be better off.
Good news - Greek Rec is tonight. That's kind of exciting. Hope it's fun... if not I can always bounce out early.
Also, I found the DOINK DOINK from law and Order. If you IM me I get the Doink Doink and I may make it so windows does something with it... I also got A-team theme song today... now when my computer starts up it plays the A-team theme song... which is awesome.
Short of that... I don't have much. Have a nice day everyone. Remember, everyone has a flame inside. Never let it yield!
