I'm pretty new here, so please bear with me. But I'm proud to present to you my first city journal:

planet-wallpaper-13.jpg

Since the dawn of written history Pandorans across all ages have been fixated on our twin world, known as Janus in Caliban speaking territories. For thousands of years people all over the globe have been studying, theorizing and deifying our neighbors in search of answers. It's only natural really, Pandorans are a naturally curious species, at times to our own fault. In recent times with the rapid progression of science, governments have proposed expiditions to Janus in hopes of collecting resouces and colonizing, with faint hopes of making contact with even the smallest of alien species. This progress has been met with stiff resistance from religious leaders, who view the planet as the sacred home of the gods and should not be invaded by mortal souls.

We'd spend days exploring my hometown of Ravenholm, a suburb of what some call the unoffical capital of the Federation, Fairweather. Sometimes my friends and I would climb on top of the apartment building that we lived in and throw balloons and pillows and unsuspecting, hapless victims below. As I grew older though I began to see beauty in my surroundings and decided to take a photograph.

This was just one of hundreds I took on a trip around the city I took with my friends before we all went off to our respective colleges.

Another, this time taken in Fairweather proper of the Heartcamp Building and the Fairweather Bay Bridge, known locally as the Red Hot Twins. As you can see rain clouds were gathering in the late afternoon sky and we had to return home hastily.

Wow! That is beautiful! I love those pictures, despite the usage of Photoshop or Gimp.


Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3
