[caption id="attachment_141" align="alignnone" width="405" caption="My new beard. What do you think?"][/caption] So the wife and I sat down and brainstormed beards.  Armed with an eyeliner pencil, she draw on my face.  And then, trusting in her judgement, I did my best to shave it.  Which wasn't easy because she involved a lot of curving instead of straight lines, something which a razor blade is just not good at.  You'd think quarter-length "styling" razors would exist by now, but if they do, I've never found one.

Anywho, so here is the end result.  It wasn't quite along the lines that I was thinking of myself, but then I just couldn't decide on anything for myself.  So what the hey, I'll give it a go and see if I like it or not.  At least it's something different.

It basically keeps the sideburns down through the chin line, but in a slow arcing curve that's kind of hard to see from straight-on like in the picture.  It doesn't connect to the mustache at all, but leaves one there for fun.  I'm not really sure what to call it, but at least it's something I don't see around.  I like uniqueness.  At least within reason.

So what do you think?  Is this a style suited to my male persona? ]]> http://terrymaranda.wordpress.com/?p=265 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:29:59 +0000 terrymaranda http://terrymaranda.com/2008/10/09/denizens-of-daedonas-the-taheil-and-some-preview-concepts/

In the heights of the Ta-Teer Mountains the peaceful Ta-Heil’s live a solemn scholars life in their high rising Temple Libraries guiding and studying the people of Daedonas. These highly advanced gastropod's are considered the teachers of the Crescent Lands and their wise advice and philisophical reasonings guide many leaders and people of the lands. 

The Sages pursue knowledge and understanding for the most of their long four century life, studying the past and predicting the future. Compiling tomb upon tomb of literature in their vast libraries they record all stages of the Crescent Land's history and withhold all it's secrets. Entrance into the temple libraries are highly selective and only through extensive interrogation would one be able to, for in their deep vaults they hold the greatest tools of destruction and creation, the last of the soulroot artifacts.

The Ta-Heil are an asexual gastropod race that live in few numbers at the highest altitudes. They have very many unique characteristics that define their race; They float through the air using a complex system of inflatable hydrogen bladders. Two methods control their movement, by filtering out the hydrogen from the oxygen in the air they maintain their buoyancy, and they control their direction by the use of minisicule valves expelling the gas. The Ta-Heil's tough fibrous body has very little feeling to the cold high altitude climate and the their sphincter like mouths allow quick powerful intakes of air to fuel that levitation. And lastly, their long coarse beards are sensitive to the most minute changes in the weather to better gauge where the wind will take them and how best to work with it.

I also have a few head sketches, they're for future Daedonas Denizens and I'm itching to do some more personal artwork, but freelancing comes first. I'll have an update on what I've been doing for White Wolf in about a week. 

Dr. Robin was accused of passing derogatory remarks against the beard of Prophet Muhammad.

He is currently detained in Gujranawala jail. Dr. Robin's family was forced to go into hiding as the family members of the accused cannot stay at their home after the stigma of blasphemy has been slapped on any of their family members.

The family of Dr. Robin and some 20 Christian residents of district Hafizabad had come to see the APMA Chief; Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti, after Dr. Robin was accused of blasphemy. They apprised him of the insecurity they had become exposed to after Robin was implicated in a blasphemy case.

The APMA has been extending financial support to the family as well as free legal aid to Dr. Robin since the occurrence of alleged blasphemy by Dr. Robin.

The family of the accused including Veenus, 50, Tariq 42, Waseem Bhatti, 32 and Francis Masih, a relative of Dr. Robin came to the APMA office in Islamabad on October 3, 2008.

Describing the fear and uncertainty that gripped the family members following leveling of blasphemy charges on Dr. Robin, Waseem told ANS that they felt as if a roof had been snatched from them.

“We felt secure after we met the APMA Chief Shahbaz Bhatti,” he said.

“We wanted our voice to be raised. We were desperately looking for someone to steer us out of the problem we were confronting. We were praying for some help. We prayed to God and we knew our prayers were heard when we met Shahbaz Bhatti”, said Waseem.

The young Christian man went on to say that fears of sorts were assailing the family's mind after detention of Dr. Robin. They (fears) left us disturbed and helpless all the more, he said.

After incarceration of Dr. Robin, he said the family had lost the breadwinner and they were not in a position of hiring a lawyer.

“You need a lawyer to defend you even in a simple dispute. We knew we had to hire a competent defense counsel for Dr. Robin. It was again Mr. Shahbaz who extended free legal aid for Dr. Robin”, said Waseem as tears ran down his cheeks.

Waseem, who works as an animator in a local Non Governmental Organization (NGO) feared that it had become virtually impossible for Dr. Robin to run his clinic at the same locality.

He also ruled out possibility of any of his family members staying at the same place after leveling of blasphemy accusations on Dr. Robin.

“His (Dr. Robin's) family members are living in hiding. They have been able to find a roof above their heads with the help the APMA Chief extended to the family but you still feel alienated. You take time to settle down at a new place. You continue to live a tension-ridden life”, he said.

“The children of Dr. Robin have been robbed of fatherly love. Michael Rose, the youngest of Dr. Robin's children used to stay in a hostel. He does not feel comfortable staying at the hostel now”, said Waseem.

In response to a question he said that during this period of tribulation Dr. Robin had emerged as a strong Christian. He said his (Dr. Robin's) belief in Christ had only become stronger.

Tariq, a relative of Dr. Robin told ANS that Dr. Robin wished to be released as soon as possible.

He said the incident had come as a big jolt to the children of Dr. Robin.

He said they had not been able to concentrate on their studies fully after Robin was arrested by the police.

Francis, brother-in-law of Dr. Robin called for repeal of Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

Citing his talks with a couple of Muslim friends, he said that they were of the view that the law should be repealed.

“My Muslim friends admitted that a thorough investigation should be made before lodging of a blasphemy-related Police First Information Report (FIR)”, said Tariq.

Tariq disclosed that he had been able to record a conversation between the complainant and some family members of Dr. Robin in which the complainant tried to do a “deal” with the family of the accused.

According to Tariq, the complainant said that he would withdraw charges against Dr. Robin if his family agreed to pay him money.

He claimed he recorded the conversation on September 19, a day ahead of the hearing of Dr. Robin's case in a lower court.

Echoing a grave concern of Pakistani Christians, who like their fellow Muslim Pakistanis want their concerns to be highlighted on national and print media, Tariq said that Dr. Robin's case only drew marginal coverage of the incident.

Lashing out at the police he alleged that the police failed to provide adequate security to Dr. Robin's family.

“If the Police had provided security to Dr. Robin's family and his vulnerable relatives then they might have decided to continue staying in Hafizabad but in the absence of any such security the family was forced to go into hiding”, he said.

In an apparent bid to support his disbelief in the police, he said that police did not take initiative for rescuing Dr. Robin's family “rather some local Christians entered Dr. Robin's home at about 3 am and rescued the family members who had become prone to attack by the angry Muslim residents of Hafizabad”.

“Do you want us to jump into fire”, he quoted a police official as saying, who Tariq and other Christian residents of the area wanted to rescue Dr. Robin's family members.

Post-arrest situation

Tariq said when he and some other members of Dr. Robin's family went to Dr. Robin's place to collect some clothes, books and some other daily use items they saw a “shocking scene”.

“Not even a single thing was at its place. There were visible signs of human presence at Dr. Robin's house. It was not hard to conclude that some people have been living at Dr. Robin's house. We saw crumbs of bread, chicken bones, and unwashed dishes.

Dr. Robin's house had been ransacked”, said Tariq, who looked scared while sketching the ransacked home of Dr. Robin.

He said that the lower court rejected a post-arrest bail petition, prompting the APMA to file a petition in Lahore High Court.

Asked who could have inhabited Dr. Robin's house after his arrest and exiting of his family members, Tariq said that the fundamentalist Muslims of the area could have maintained their presence at Dr. Robin's house. Nobody could have dared entering Dr. Robin's home if the police had been vigilant, he said.

Tariq disclosed that a small but angry Muslim crowd took out a rally in a bid to pressurize the court.

He said that participants of the rally were holding placards, which were inscribed with slogans, “Give death to Dr. Robin.”

He disclosed that the witnesses at a court hearing had submitted their written version on legal papers that Dr. Robin did not commit blasphemy.

He said he learned that Dr. Robin's lawyer also gave precedents of post-arrest bails granted to blasphemy accused in the past “but even then the judge did not grant post-arrest bail to Dr. Robin”.

Talking to the APMA Chief, Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti, Veenus said that recording of the alleged conversation between the complainant and some family members further angered the local Muslims.

Thanking Mr. Shahbaz, she said she was optimistic that Dr. Robin would soon be home due to the APMA's efforts.

She said: “I urge the Christians across the world to pray for release of my husband from prison. I cannot give fatherly love to my children. We want him back as soon as possible”, she said while talking to the APMA Chief”.

The APMA Chief told ANS that he was going to urge authorities to do an in-camera trial of Dr. Robin for security purposes. An application in this regard would be moved soon, he said.

He assured the family of the accused that Dr. Robin would soon be with them.

“The APMA is concerned. It (APMA) has been since leveling of the blasphemy accusations on Dr. Robin. We stand by you at this critical juncture in Robin's and your life,” Shahbaz told the family of Dr. Robin who had come to see him at his office in Islamabad.

“It is the case of entire Christian community. When children of Dr. Robin talk to me by phone, I could feel the agony in their voices. I understand what they are living through. The APMA will do all it can to ensure expedient release of Dr. Robin”, said Shahbaz.

“We understand that the Pakistan blasphemy laws are being misused to settle personal scores. Religious enmity, prejudice and intolerance have been found behind filing of blasphemy cases in the past”, he maintained.

“God will move in His own mysterious way. Dr. Robin will be with you soon”, the APMA Chief told Dr. Robin's spouse, Veenus.

Shahbaz reiterated his pledge that the APMA would continue to extend free legal aid to the blasphemy accused.

He said the APMA would continue to struggle until the blasphemy laws are repealed.

A person is reduced to the status of a refugee in his country after blasphemy allegations are leveled against him, said Shahbaz implying to the threats the accused and his family receive after slapping of blasphemy charges.

Responding a question, he said the APMA had been providing free legal aid and shelter to the blasphemy-accused since the abuse of the law became rampant in Pakistan.

The APMA, he said, wants to see the controversial laws abolished. He disclosed that he wanted to table a bill in parliament in a bid to either get the laws repealed or see them significantly amended.

He appealed to the Christians across the world to pray for the APMA and Pakistani Christians.

“I thank you for your previous prayers and support. We need your prayers to be able to continue fighting for the rights of the marginalized and the down-trodden Pakistani Christians and other minorities”, he said.

Dubbing Pakistan blasphemy laws as a death warrant in the hands of extremists, Shahbaz called for the repeal of the law, which he said had done more harm than good since their introduction in 1986.

Report from the Christian Telegraph

Here's some pics from today.
I haven't shaved for about a week now.
I'm getting so many babes

all thanks to this bad boy of a beard.

I mean, it is only common knowledge
that every woman
LOVES a man with facial hair.

It's just so...

Rugged.

Anyways,
Tomorrow is Cici's night.
PIZZA!

I'm not really feeling too sick.
I'm actually gonna play tennis again
tomorrow morning.

I'm gonna
crush
the competition.

;0

Maybe... i'll take pics.
or something.
if i remember

which i never do.

Alright!
That's all for tonight.
I'm gonna go to sleep
early again!

(I managed to somehow
fall asleep at around 11:45
last night.
I felt awesome this morning.)

Bye bye!

but what annoys me more than losman's terrible peripheral vision and despicable timing is anything related to brady quinn.

to be honest, maybe i don't like quinn because so many girls are in love with him. whatever, don't judge me. but whatever the reason may be, i dislike him enough to not focus on:

1. that picture, and how bret michaels is a full-grown, hetero male who wears puka shell necklaces, eye-liner, and lip gloss AND definitely has had his lips done.

2. losman's beard and creep-stache. am i the only one who thinks he looks like the possessed dad from the original amityville horror?

and brady- buzz. your girlfriend. woof.

It's hard enough as it is to follow European football Down Under without bloody daylight savings coming on all hoity-toity with its "I'll have that hour, thank you very much" and its scant Victorian regard for when the rest of the world decides to fuck with our body clocks.

But there you go, for every smart cafe, friendly face, outdoor bbq and sunny day on offer, there has to be an apple falling onto one's head at the most inopportune of times to remind you of the world's imperfections.

So, with Man Utd's game against Blackburn now technically kicking off at 3.30am and Bruce having agreed to be at Mart 130 for breakfast with visitors from Blighty by 11am, things were always going to tricky. That Fran doubted his ability to remain civil after so little sleep and so many hours of drinking beforehand (with good reason, it must be said) only added to the conundrum.

Being Foxtel-less, the casino was the only option, but within mere seconds the place had almost flipped Bruce's visitor's opinion of Melbourne on its head: the hectic conveyor belt of tarted up, teetering 18-year-old bimbos, Jim Beam-swilling, $5 chip-dropping, tracksuited bogans and various other gambling addicted malcontents meant that plan was swiftly abandoned.

A dip into one of the identikit bars lining Southbank merely highlighted their mistake in leaving the safety of the Napier. It was time to head home... but not before Bruce had attempted to reclaim some of Melbourne's tattered reputation.

"I hope it's not too far away," said the visiting Brummie when informed of the plan to hunt down a laneway bar. "I'm pretty tired."

Big beardy brother

Given his past failures, Bruce was far from certain he could find his way back to Hell's Kitchen, but he did. Scampering with relief down the graffiti-splattered laneway and up the stairwell where it resides they went and into the comforting arms of some Coopers and Mountain Goat.

"Sorry guys. We've got a wedding on here tonight and I've only just managed to clear everyone else out," said the barman.

"Ah come on, we've had a funny kind of evening," said Bruce. "We'll sit in the corner and keep out of everyone's way."

"Oh, alright then," said the barman. Thank God he opted for hospitality over defence...

Half a pint in and still at the bar rather than the promised corner, Bruce was musing on the works of Anonymous, the internet-based, loosely defined collective heralding from the 4chan series of bulletin boards who have garnered some mainstream notoriety for targeting Scientology with their pranks, including a number of marches, and allegedly hacking into that moron bint's email account (the hacker claimed affiliation to Anonymous). As he did so, a pair of eyes bore into him from atop a hefty beard.

"Are you a member of Anonymous?" asked the mouth encircled by said hefty beard.

"No. Are you?" asked Bruce, adding: "Because if you are you're not doing a very good job," which seemed funnier at the time than it does in the cold light of day.

He wasn't, but made it clear he thought the group were all wankers. Bruce's visitor pondered whether their bearded interlocutor was on the payroll of Scientology - one of their spooks who goes around scaring off critics. More likely, he was spoiling for a 2am debate.

He didn't get one, although did make it clear that he reserved more antipathy for Anonymous than Scientology arguing, it seemed, that, like AFL, the "content" of this fake, money-spinning religion was a harmless molehill and was made into a mountain by the attention lavished on it by others, such as Anonymous. He also added that AFL was the worst sport on the planet so quite clearly was spoiling for an argument.

Still, soon he took his views away and the pints were finished to a backdrop of classic late 80s and early 90s electro (well, except for the Peter Hook Monaco track that sucks balls). It left time to admire the pokey place that is Hell's Kitchen: the admirably attired guests at the 1940s themed wedding reception, the racecard gambling board converted into a wall-mounted wine list, the tattoos on the bar staff - and to ponder why guests are allowed to smoke in the enclosed stairwell.

Enough, certainly, to forget that the clocks had just gone forward and they'd missed kick off.

I met Colby roughly 5 years ago after venturing into Stafford Baptist's youth group, affectionately named, "Oasis". He was the youth pastor then. Much of that night was a blur, as well as much of the unfruitful year that followed. Our relationship flourished, however, shortly after a ski retreat sponsored by Student Impact. 

After expressing certain interests, Colby took me under his wing and introduced me to the intellectual side of Christian thinking. He showed me that reason and faith go hand-in-hand and that skepticism is not a bad thing. Here are just a few things Colby has influenced me on:

• Education
• Fashion
• Leadership
• Mindset
• Personality

I often find myself asking this question: "WWCD?" (What Would Colby Do?) Years of godly mentorship under Colby has done wonders for me, and words can not describe how thankful I am for a friend such as him. He is outstandingly one of the most influential d00dz in the shaping of my life, and I look forward to serving with him in ministry, most likely using everything he taught me in the application to life. If I ever become half the man Colby Garman is, a man truly after God's own heart, I will be the coolest person you know... unless you know Colby.
