♫ Featured Song: Beauty Of The Beast ♫ #24

Today's song is Beauty Of The Beast by Nightwish. A truly outstanding finale to the Century Child (2002) album. This epic piece possesses a Symphonic quality with a Metal back-bone. Tarja Turunen's passionate vocals add to the drama. A fast drum beat accompanies these (with double petal).

Feel free to leave comments about your like/dislike of the song or other commentary.

Although, not to sway all of your opinions, I will say this is my #1 most favorite song as of now.
Oooooooooooooooooo!! THAT intensified the situation! What will it be? Enthusiastic agreement or flaming disagreement (if the latter, please make sure it's not too "flaming")?

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpee! #23

Well. Last day of finals tomorrow. ARG!! It's been tough, but I've managed. I think it is solely due to my good friends, RHC IV and Francesca, for buying Slurpees. That's right, after final exams, we venture out to 7-Eleven and purchase a Slurpee each (rather...today, it was primarily Francesca that was doing the buying). The biggest size, of course. This was all due to a dream RHC IV had. Finally we were able to make that happen.

As for finals, I still have Geometry and English to study. AGHH!! Hmm...tasty Slurpee....

Do Zoodles Really Care About the Environment? #22

I've gotten so many questions as to whether or not zoodles really care about the environment. I decided to settle this controversy RIGHT away. OF COURSE they do! Well...mainly the green zoodles, anyway.
If you couldn't conclude that in a particular prior post, the green zoodles want EVERYONE to know they go green. Whether it means placing a hand on a wood-cutters shoulder to kindly remind them to cease their tree-killing, or lobbing a hand-grenade at a kitty who might tear the shrubbery on the sidewalk. They encourage you to do the same.
They also hope to start a Repsycolution (REE-SI-COH-LOO-SHON)! This means a recycling, psycho revolution! EVERY time you want to throw something in the trash, STOP and think. Is it recyclable in some way? Maybe that rotten apple still has that paper sticker on it. RECYCLABLE! Do you know how many trees you could save by recycling one thing every day? Probably a WHOLE FOREST!

But who can remind us? Who can keep us all in line? Why none other than...
Resighk Man!!! Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dunnnnnnn-dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! He's out to make the world a greener place. He heavily endorses recycling, and warns all to refrain from eating yellow snow. He also advises, "By the time you finish reading this sentence, you have used up who knows HOW much electricity powering your computer. Shut your computer off this instant or switch to fuel-efficient computers."

Although all of this is fantastic, one can't help but wonder if there are maybe one or two literary devices used here. What are so special about those fuel-efficient cars, anyway? I'm glad the green-goers can at least maintain consistency in their views. Go green zoodles! YEAWW!

Cool Snacks #21

Recently, I have taken the liberty of trying different snacky foods. I have found that double-stuffed mint Oreos can be a fantastic addition to any school lunch. You can either eat them yourself, or distribute them among your friends. It's a common yet unique item that can give your lunch a sense of style, even if you have that horribly boring bologna sandwich (not that I have any thing against bologna sandwiches) and those traditional animal crackers. OK...well probably high school is a little too old for animal crackers.

Doritos really have made my day occasionally at school. Their cheesey, salty, and crunchy consistency really create a cohesive combination that can really satisfy your taste buds. Salt and Vinegar chips...oh my! They can add some zaaannng to your lunch at any given time.

But best of all...the sour cream and onion lays! The captivating taste is really limitless. To you wonderfulness chippy chip friends, I give you props!

And to balance it all, a sliced up apple really does some good. It's juiciness is like drinking something...yet the crispness of something edible. Stellar mix if you ask me.

I hope from this day forward, you will treat your school lunch in a new way, adding various cool snacks as you go. Good luck, and bonapatit my friends!

Has Anyone Looked at the Blog Footer, yet? #20

Well if not, you should because it's really bomb. Just scroll down to the bottom of this current page and you can see how zoodles can integrate inquiries and thoughts into one idea.

...And School Starts Again. Invigorating. #19

Well isn't that just riveting. How captivating. How uncontrollably stimulating.

School.

I've just started again and I'm having no problem making the transition from vacation to school. No sirree. Hmm...I wonder how I'll do on Wednesday's test.

(Now you must consider whether or not my previous comments have been sincere, or sarcastic. You pick. It's whatever you want it to be. Don't you love these interactive posts?)

That's right folks, there is a possibility of satire arriving to Zoodle. This means that it's going to have both sincere and sarcasm in it's posts. This time, this is no "debut." Maybe I've used sarcasm in previous posts...?

♫ Featured Song: Lai Lai Hei ♫ #18

Welcome to the debut of the featured song posts (wow...there sure have been many debuts recently)! From now on, I will be intermittently posting featured songs, usually providing a link for them on imeem.com or another free music streaming website.

At first I was going to title this, "Song of the Day", but then I thought that it was probably going to be too much of a commitment. Then I thought "Song of the Week" but I figured either that would be too spread apart, OR too much of a commitment. I had to remind myself, "this is Zoodle!" I can write openly and FREELY. Furthermore, I concluded, I should not force myself to write at any time; for I should only write when inspired to do so or when appropriately inclined. Thus I presented this objective as "Featured Song", not suggesting any particular time or date during which I must post.

Today's song is Lai Lai Hei by Ensiferum. Incredibly awesome song. The genre is symphonic power metal, very unique.

Feel free to leave comments about your like/dislike of the song or other cometary.

**Featured Song Dislcaimer
By featuring various songs, I am neither promoting the song, artist, or the song's style, theme or content unless noted as otherwise. I am simply sharing various songs of interest (for a variety of reasons). However, it is safe to assume that these songs present some form of significant highlight for me in some way or another.

Mobiles can be a thrill for zoodling #17

Amazing...my first mobile blog post. Technology has really improved in the last several years: writing blogs with your phone?! That's pretty awesome.

Anyway, just thought I'd say I'm at Dr. WISHERMAN'S house, and it's...gnarly_joe. Um and we will be playing Rock Band 2...I think. So yep. TTYL

---

I think, from now on, when I submit a mobile Zoodle post I will send it and then edit it later. That way I can provide the freshest, most current content and still be able to refine it later. For documentation, however, I'll keep this first mobile post original (except past the "---").

What is the Zoodle Facotry? #16

What IS the Zoodle Factory? It is an immense facility devoted to the creation and distribution of cool gadgets and gizmos. Zoodles work in this realm; and only zoodles (NOT to be confused with Elves in Santa's workshop). There are no limitations to what they can create in this factory...they just have to think of it.

What have they made so far? Many things. One of which is the Zoodlebar I told you about earlier. However, they have made MANY more:

The "Zoobrella". Particularly useful when it rains cats and dogs.

"High-shooting Arrow Ladder." Has the capacity reach unlimited heights and comes in an assortment of colors.
The "All-Direction-Pointing Sign." With this, you'll never be lost again.
But most important of all...we have gearZ. These gearZ are not only used to create these fantastic creations, but can be used to inspire zoodles as well. If they run on or in these rotating, circular, clog-infested hunks of iron, they will constantly be thinking of new ideas and become ready to create new gadgets and gizmos.
If you noticed, we used green zoodles today to display our topic. Any particular reason? Well the green zoodles insisted that they have this particular post, because they want to prove to you that this factory goes green. Oh! I almost forgot to mention: all systems run fuel-efficient tanks or are run electronically. They also try to recycle all waste materials, refrain from using wood (to save the trees), and make sure all exhaust and other fumes exit to the purification room where the gasses are purified, and then recycled. They strive to create amazing gagdets but to also protect the environment as well. The zoodles encourage all: "Go Green!"
