Chapter 1 Page 2

     She hurriedly got dressed and ran out the front door of her apartment. She had a thirty minute commute from her apartment on East 13th Street to East 89th Street which she was dreading because she knew how fast the pods go and she was in a hurry. As she bolted down the steps of her apartment building her best friend and neighbor ran along beside her . "Debora! Debora!," she yelled constantly trying to get Debora's attention but Debora was already to far gone in thought about what was going. Debora's friend decided that the only way to get her attention would be to throw something at her since she couldn't keep up with her. She picked up the nearest item and threw it at Debora hitting her on the back. Debora stopped at the front door and turned around to see who hit her. "Susan what was that for!," she proclaimed after taking a second to massage her back. "I've been calling your name since you left your apartment," Susan was annoyed at this point because she was out of shape and working as a tenth grade teacher didn't do much to help that. Debora quickly explained what had happened and told Susan that she was in a hurry to get to the lab to find out what the authorities had found out and to see what had been stolen. "My God what has this world come to," Susan said in a disdainful voice,"what do they plan on doing with what ever they stole and why blow up the building?" "I don't know but that's why I'm in a hurry," and Debora darted down the street to the nearest pod station. She stepped into the nearest unused pod and said where she needed to go, the door closed and she was off.

     Pods were introduced six years ago as a means of safe and clean transportation from one place to another. They were designed by one of Debora's colleagues and the government gave a grant to install the stations all over New York. She was grateful for them because the only other means of transportation was a little electric powered car that required its rider to stand in a jell-like bubble that wraps around the inner walls the entire ride. As she passed through the streets briefly noticing the few robots that cleaned the streets and a very small fraction of the population who were considered homeless, even though they weren't, dotted the near empty streets. The New York City Council passed a bill called homes for the homeless which converted all the old unused railways and stations into homes with all the basic needs. As the pod reached the entrance to 89th street she could already see the mayhem that had been caused. The street was filled with debris from the building and people lined up outside the yellow tape watching the police and fire department work. The pod floated down the street and came to a stop at the nearest pod station. She got out and ran down the street hoping she could find someone she worked with that could tell her what had happened since the news.

     She stood outside the tape staring at the research papers that were now littered across the road and flying freely in the air. Tears began to roll down her cheek as she thought of all the hard work she had put in and how all that had been ruined in a matter of minutes. Noise pulsated in her ears as she stood there staring at everything that had once been organized was now in ruin. She could hardly hear anything because of the fire department's sirens. As the sounds pulsated in her ear she heard her name being called and in an attempt to find the source she turned her head around and around looking. After a few seconds she saw her friend Marcus pushing through the crowd of people stammering this way and that to try and keep balance. "Debora! Debora! We've lost our jobs, our lives, our research, everything!, he sounded over dramatic even for what Debora could ever think Marcus could do. He had tears running down his face too which was very unusual for him but given the circumstances she didn't doubt that his feeling were fake. She screamed out to him above all the noise in her head and around her," How's everyone and where are they?" Marcus looked around and then told her that everyone else was alright he'd spent most of the morning calling people telling them about what happened. Marcus gave a heavy huff and looked at her ,"they stole it you know that right?"He looked at her and then noticing that she was confused he rephrased his statement,"the government stole our research our experiments everything, you and I know it!" She was in no mood for his conspiracies right now so she ignored the statement and began asking him what he'd found out since the robbery.

     Her mind was restless from her long day at work researching photo-luminescence. As she laid on her bed she thought whether or not she really wanted to continue her work at the near by science lab. "It's a fun job," she thought over and over, running the last few experiments in her head. It's a government paid research lab with full access to any chemicals, compounds, or elements that she needed for the experiments she had been conducting. The more she thought about it the more she thought about changing careers. Recently she had grown more and more paranoid about what the results of her research had taught her. As time had progressed she understood the capabilities of what her research could do and that pushed her away from favority pass time which consisted of watching Science Fiction movies with her friends and family. She used to be a big fan of Science Fiction movies and other movies based around things that might happen or could happen. She really used to enjoy them, but when she started her research at the lab she learned how science fiction was become science fact. The past ten years produced naval ships with laser cannons, large robots used for combat on the battlefield instead of humans, and the thing that scared her more then anything space travel.

     "It's only been three years that I've spent there researching photo-luminescence and my research is in its final stages. So in all actuality I could finish my work and then quit and find something else to do," she rationalized to herself as she constantly thought about the repercussions of what could happen if the government did something to weaponize her research and use it for war and destruction. She'd already proven that a 2 milliliters of the compound photolumithalium could power the world for a year but that it also had enough destructive power that if someone heated it above two hundred degrees Fahrenheit the compound would exploded and destroy all of New York City and part of southern Maine. She shudder at the thought but quickly dismissed it. Her whole team had spent almost three full years which when she calculated the hours of work she had put in it hit her that she barely slept, and when she did it was only for a hour or two a week. She stared up at the ceiling wondering if she could get a job someplace else doing the same research but without the government knowing about it. She thought more and more only to come to the conclusion that it would be a stupid move to leave the lab, not only did she get a really nice pay check from it but she gets to use her PHD in Advanced Scientific theology and Science along with her masters in biology and metallurgy. Her eyes drooped a bit and she felt for the light switch, upon finding it she gave a last look around the room and fell asleep.

     As she woke up she glanced over at the clock,"5:34 A.M." it blinked, the high pitched sound of the TV came on from across the room as it automatically tuned itself to the news channel and muted itself. She smiled as she thought to herself,"Gotta love technology," she looked at the muted tv only to see a picture of the New York State Laboratory of Biology and Human Advancement with a caption that wrenched her stomach. She un-muted the TV immediately only to hear the anchorwoman proclaim the horrible news from the night,"Last night two thieves broke into this building and stole three billion dollars worth of research and development of which contains the worlds leading research on photo-luminescence which is soon to be the worlds next power source. During the robbery one of the suspects detonated two bombs inside the building that destroyed the east wing." A stream of tears ran down her face as she sat there watching the news, three years worth of research gone her entire office destroyed and her worst fear was that within the stolen items was the photolumithalium.

thoughts after watching "Cashback"

ok so i just got through watching "Cashback," which is a British based movie about an artist played by Sean Biggerstaff who at the beginning breaks up with his old girlfriend and then spends a total of 4 weeks straight without sleep because of the break up. Sean narates the whole movie and you really get to know what is going on in the Ben's (the main character) mind. Ben states that some people can speed up time by not looking at the clock while others keep busy so that time seems to fly by but instead of trying both of those he pauses time in his head. So to illustrate Ben pausing the real world during the movie the film developers actually pause what is going and allow Ben to move through the other characters as if they were statues.

Movie description (copies from IMDB.com): Cashback
When art student Ben Willis is dumped by his girlfriend Suzy, he develops insomnia. To pass the long hours of the night, he starts working the late night shift at the local supermarket. There he meets a colorful cast of characters, all of whom have their own 'art' in dealing with the boredom of an eight-hour-shift. Ben's art is that he imagines himself stopping time. This way, he can appreciate the artistic beauty of the frozen world and the people inside it - especially Sharon, the quiet checkout girl, who perhaps holds the answer to solving the problem of Ben's insomnia.

throughout the movie I got an extreme feeling of Bens emotions during each part of what happens and it also made me reflect on things that have happened to me. In short a lot of the things that he deals with are foreign to any of us which makes the movie real in a metaphorical sense. Also it brings to mind the many times that i have thought about other stuff to pass the long hours of the day just to survive the times that make life boring and tiring. During the movie I really felt a true sympathetic pull for what Ben had to go through further turn my mind away from the movie and what Ben is going through but towards myself and the few meager things that i have gone through and how i dealt with them, how they affect me, and how i reacted to thost moments. Over and over again i have felt like Ben even though i have been treated more like Ben's best friend, Sean, who in the movie gets slapped in the face by every girl he has ever tried to date. Yes i know his pain but to those that i know be glad i did do what he did (watch the movie so you know what he did ^_^).

I leave you with these 2 small questions:
How have you treated those around you and how do you think they have felt toward you?
and
If you could stop time only to move through it and see every detail how would you use that time?

In need of hobby.

Ok so yeah i'm in need of an inexpensive hobby that i can do on my own at any time of the day any where no matter what. I spend to much time just sitting around wasting time and really the only thing i can think of doing is read a manga but that becomes very expensive very quick since most manga cost about 5 dollars and you have to buy a whole series just to get the full effect and story of the series. Plus i am into heroclix and other card games but they require hundreds of dollars to be put out for pieces and a friend or 2 to play them with. also gaming has become very expensive since games cost more then 40 dollars at times and hard limited to at home play unless i have my ds with me. oragami is a thought but i would needs lots of square paper to carry with me and that becomes a bit space consuming but it is a possible outcome. i was thinking about getting a math book and just learning how to do more complex math problems and then having a math major or math teacher check them for me just so that i know that i'm doing them right, but at the moment i can't find any good advanced mathmatics books that give lots of equations and examples so that i can do that. if i could get my hands on a school math book like a calculus book that would be great but for now i'm looking into something else that i can do on whenever, wherever, forever, and be able to do it alone. If you have any thoughts comment me and please me them logical and not comical.

Gaming Special

alright so this one is just for kicks but yeah i decided i would do a special about board games and card games. Not sure how this one is going to go but sure we'll soon find out what this is going to become.

Alright so first up we have the latest game that I've been getting fully into is Heroclix.
ok now before any of you start ranting and raving about the game and all that I'm going to put this one thing out there, the game is a born winner. not only does it take American superheros and super villains but it gives you a generic way of fighting any character against any character. Lets take my latest victory for instance [the mutant hit team vs Thor]

Stats on the (mutant hit team):
Storm - long range stealth fighter that can fly
Gambit - running shot ranged fighter with stealth
x-23 - up close "stick the person in place" character that can deal damage at the same time
maverick - running shot low point hitter good for back up damage (came in real handy)
Scarlet Witch - makes bad rolls for me re-rolls for me and opponent

Thor
heavy hitter with a wicked defensive side that can do tons of damage

Alright so i kept storm up high and in range of Thor that way i could hit him from a distance and not have to worry any about what happened to her cause she'd be safe were she was, then i moved gambit using running shot do deal the first bit of damage to Thor. Storm hit him for the second. a few misses followed after that and my team took a good bit of damage. X-23 got KOed even though she held Thor in place for a good bit just to keep him from running off. A knock back from gambit did some extra damage that helped. A few more hits and Thor was out first and only victory of the tournament. So next week since i dont have anything else to do i'm going to go to another tournament up at the command post where i have a possible chance of winning a really nice prize.

conversation between me and a good friend

kavan2006: do you know what the irony of being me is
dyurik: what?
kavan2006: i can have a conversation with someone under the influence of an herbal product such as a lavender extract defused into the air and yet still not fully understand the reason why i'm in such a bad position
dyurik: really sounds like a person problem
kavan2006: yeah it is
dyurik: just have to get past the fact that i can be very childish at times
kavan2006: ....
dyurik: really what would ever make you say that?
kavan2006: i dont know just thinking about all the times that i could have stopped and put my head to the grind stone so to speak and actually accomplished something.
dyurik: really?
kavan2006: yeah like in high school
dyurik: everyone could have done better in high school
kavan2006: yeah well i opted more for the recreational, relaxing, and not work things instead of pushing myself to achieve something greater
dyurik: yeah well we all get that from time to time
kavan2006: yeah well we all can't help what happens
dyurik: ok i'm lost
kavan2006: what do you mean?
dyurik i forgot which voice goes to which person
kavan2006: .....
dyurik:um dude you suck at this
kavan2006: i know
dyurik: ok well i'm going to try and get some sleep
kavan2006: night
dyurik: night
dyurik: (idiot) -_-

What do i need? What do i lack? Why am i alone?

Answer the above questions to the best of your ability and as truthfully as possible.

While walking the dog

I was walking the dog no more then 20 minutes ago up and down the street like i normally do. I made the turn to come back and a car few past. I heard the brakes squeal and they came to a stop from that i heard the scrap of plastic on road, and the crash that came from the tumbling object. As i drew near and smelled the horrid smell, i realized that what i was smelling was someones trash on the road. I put 2 and 2 together and now the noise was clear. What i had heard was people dragging the trash can down the road and then flipping it onto my neighbors lawn. I stop to talk to the sweet old woman about what i had seen. She went inside to tell her husband what had happened and i went to my house and dropped off my dog. After telling my parents what had happened i went back outside and started picking up the trash. The Woman ,Mrs Dot, is her name came out with her husband and we picked up the trash together. After getting all of it picked up we walked up the street and delivered the can back to the person to whom it belonged to, said our good nights and shortly after returned home.

catching up on shows, projects, and reviews.

Ok so i've been spending the week catch up on all the anime shows that i haven't watched yet and the ones that come on when i'm asleep. Mainly shows like futurama, blue gender, and other shows that are on around that time. The only reviews i really have to give are on Kiddy grade and Tenchi Muyo! GXP

Kiddy Grade:
This is the first time i've watched it and its ok its more or less a fan service show at times but the art is really great. the uniforms are pretty cool and the ships are awesome looking, they have a slight gundam look to them but thats only in comparson to the winged ships from the shows.

Tenchi Muyo! GXP:
As a fan of the original shows i am very disappointed with this series because they have changed everthing but they left Ryoko's pet/ship character design alone. The show has also become more of a fan service show. All in all theres very few reasons to watch this show but it is pretty funny just to sit and watch. The Tenchi Muyo! shows of the past were much better no matter what anyone says.

I got my first project for my design class is was ok i guess but to much cutting and pasting.

Back from a long time of not posting.

Well i've been away from posting here for awhile because i've been busy trying to figure out where i really want to post my blog to. Well i finially decided that i'll choose this one. I'll probably post once or twice a week just because i'm going to be starting tech classes next week W007!!! I'm going to be taking a class called design and another one called sociology which i can't wait to see what all they have for me to do. Oh and on a sad note my laptop(G3 Ibook) is having logic problems. The logic board is messed up which from what i've heard apple admits that they messed up on it so i'm going to have to take it to CompUSA this week and get it fixed. Hopefully i'll have some money to pick up something for my laptop or for my ipod. I don't know what else i should talk about so i guess this is me signing out for now.

Adios for now.

rememdy learning? or Perl Learning?

well just thought I would post something since I haven't in a while. Been thinking about whether I should learn more about herbal rememdies for headaches, cuts, burns, and stuff like that or if I should learn more perl and become fluent in reading and writing perl so that I can write programs later on down the road. Selling my laptop don't know how much or to whom I will sell it to just need to get a better one that i can use for whatever I need it for. Got my second paycheck from Snow Tech Group which is cool and I'm really glad I got it because now I can buy the stuff I want and not have to worry about saving up a few weeks pay from Bi-lo. Well that's about all I have to say so if you have would like to comment on which one I should learn first please comment if not then just move on with your life and hope your life is going great.

Ice Storm 2 days before Christmas Vacation

Well there was an ice storm 2 days before christmas break started which i think sucks because i would much rather be in school the at home doing nothing because the internet is down or the power is out. Worked on my web site some and it should be on the internet some time soon. I have to find one page for it and then get everything to look nice before i put version 1 out on the internet for all of you to look at. Slowly learning how to use CSS ad i'm almost ready to get Version 1.1 started. I need to get the navigation bar fixed and make everything look nice but i'm not going to bore you guys with that at this moment.

Nothing really more to say just wanted to put up a quick post for who ever it is that reads this.

I'm slowly working on updating the look of this page to make it look nicer. So please bear with me while I slowly work on updating the look.


Thank and have a great day!

Those Moments

You know those moments when all you think about is the perfect girl. The girl that just makes you so happy that you dont know what you would do without her. The one that you dont care if you dont go any further then a friendship with because as long as she is there and is willing to talk to you and have a civilized conversation with you you dont really care about anything else. I mean the girl that is perfect the one with no flaws, the one that you can talk to about anything and she understands and is willing to help you with the problem. well yeah that would be my friend Caroline, she is so awesome that i don't really dont know what my life would be like without her. I dont care if all we have is friendship, i would much rather have the friendship then loss her. I dont know what i want in life but one thing i do want is a girlfriend as perfect and flawless as her. I have heard many guys say shes alright but they just look at the physical. Yes i look at physical and mental but if the mind over powers the physical then shes great but if both are equal in beauty and one compliments the other in a perfect balance of sexual, civilized, romantic, understanding, bliss then the girl has to be perfect. Caroline is such a girl well i should say lady because she is more of a lady then a girl. Her beauty is only matched by that of her knowledge, goodwill, talent, and over-whelming ability to understand people and make them happy. I know if she reads this she'll probably thing that i'm just flattering her or saying something that isn't true just so I could get a chance with her. Hell half of you are probably saying to yourselves,"He's probably just some kid that fell in love with some girl that he doesn't really know and thinks that she makes him happy." Well thats not true because i would never lie to her no matter what it is I have done and I will always tell her everything that she wants to know as long as i don't break a promise to someone else. I love her and its not that lustful love that all you want to do is take her to bed with you for one night and fuck her till the morning its the kind of love that you just want to be with her and not do anything that would hurt the friendship.

well this has a been a little look into my life and how i think don't flame me or anything just take it as fact and move on.

My first post

well this is my first post here on Blogger. Wow this makes the 3 web site that i use for blogging stuff. if you use xanga then you can reach me at Aidenthefiremaker. If you use myspace then you can reach me at this address. Um not much more to write so i'm going to find something to do.
