I've just started this whole breakaway forum thing and thought that this blog could also do with some boosting so while I'm thinking of something to do on here I shall post the player I created for the breakaway forum's season 3:
Last (surname): James
First (forename): Thomas
Height (in centimeters): 175
Weight (in kilograms): 70
Shoots/Catches: Right
Position: LD
Nationality: English
Preferred Number: 86
Player synopsis: Born and raised in Manchester, England (more specifically Oldham) supporting the good ol' Manchester Phoenix. Offensive defensemen with a hard slap shot. A nifty little defensemen who can hit well despite his size, however poke checks are his speciality, taking the puck away from an unwitting forward who had the bad sense to have a go at trying to deke around him. A reasonable speed and quick, accurate passes makes him dangerous in the neutral zone and forecheck despite his defensive responsibilities. Hardworking and always plays his A game up until the buzzer whether it's sacrificing his body for a shot, making the big hit or taking the shot on goal that might send the game into overtime or clinch the victory. Being a strong team player rounds off his talent beautifully because he is not only always on the same page as his defensive partner, but also communicates well with the forward lines ready to send the puck up ice making chances for breakaways and odd man rushes.
Not the most aggressive of players but doesn't shy away from finishing his checks and getting stuck into the more physical aspect of the game. Would be reluctant to drop the gloves but would rather spend that 5 minutes out of the box and on the ice (even if he did deserve it) but there is still a line and then all sorts of hell breaks loose! =P
Off ice he has a certain swagger about him, along with his charm and good looks he is irresistable to the ladies (yeah, but I'm not really a hockey player either so y'know =P) making him a bit of a fan favourite. His general light hearted demeaner off the ice loses a bit of his street cred maybe, but why not, eh?

Is it just me...
... that thinks it's a bit racist when at the end of "Star Wars episode IV: A New Hope" during that whole awards ceremony thing, there are only humans at the ceremony? If you look at the rows and rows of people behind Han, Luke and Chewie as they accept their Medals of Honor, there isn't a single non-human there. Chewie was the only wookie there or non-human of any type.
I'm trying but I'm struggling to think of a reason for it because I can tell you now that the humans weren't the only ones fighting for the rebel alliance. There were Mon Calamari, Bothans, Sullustans and Twi'leks who were also part of the rebellion, not to mention Wookies but for some reason don't get a mention. It's terrible! I mean, putting aside Luke being the blonde haired, blue eyed Nazi poster boy that he is there's something just a bit up with that!
There is also evidence of racial discrimination from the evil empire, but you would expect that with it being an "evil empire" per say. Now I know a lot of you will have already heard these before, but this could be another reason for the whole Death Star conspiracy theory. For those of you behind, read this, for those of you who know, you can skip a bit if you want.
The whole Death Star conspiracy thing goes like this: the Death Star is thought by some to have been an inside job for a couple of reasons. If you watch the Battle of Yavin you'll see that there are only a handfull of pilots and despite the lengthy "Red Leader standing by" sequence, for the amount of fighters it would have taken to blow up the Death Star, there aren't nearly enough. There would have been too few targets that would have all just have been whiped out when they were just getting close, not to mention that trench.
Another reason would be that there's the whole business with the Rebel base being on the Yavin 4, a moon orbitting around Yavin. They wait for the chance to blow it up once it's come out from behind Yavin... So they've got a laser with the capabilities of blowing up a planet, so they wait for the rebel base (while they're short on time and being blown up and that) to come out from behind Yavin (a planet that the Death Star should be able to destroy) so they can blow up the moon. You could say that they would have had to have recharged the laser which I agree they would have but to be fair, they're sat up there for a while even before the rebels come and blow them up. Even still, the debris from Yavin would have fucked up Yavin 4 really quite badly.
So generally, they're expecting us to believe that they could have likely pulled this off? That they just so happened to survive getting as close to the Death Star, the most prized weapon of the Empire? And that the guy who blew it up was no less than the son of the guy who was in charge at the time? That said guy who was in charge was one of the very few people who survived the attack? We all know Darth Vadar had ambitions for Darth Sidius's power. Working against him, even if it meant working with the rebels could bring him that step closer to that power. It works for the rebels because they're not only gaining a grand military victory, which will no doubt be used for alliance propaganda, but they also may see eye to eye on the non human front and could have been at the beginnings of raising a master race.
This could also be the reason of Lando's "betrayal" on Cloud City. Perhaps Han was close to cracking and telling his side of the story of what really happened. Han gets frozen in carbonite to keep him quiet and even though his soon to be lover Leia Organa convinced her brother to help rescue him from Jabba's palace, they were certain he wouldn't speak. Not now atleast. He can just consider himself safe with him being a human, he just has to worry about his good friend Chewie... let's hope he doesn't get hit by a moon or anything... >.<

Great Fan Fiction... Or Greatest?
During the Mandalorian war, Celeste Morne attained the Karness Muur talisman she gets Zayne Carrick to put her into stasis while he was doing so to Dave Lister because he brought a cat on board the mining ship Red Dwarf.
Soon after her being put to sleep for the next couple of hundred years Philip J. Fry comes to deliver a pizza and gets caught in one of the freezing pods and leaves King Herod without a pizza making him mad and therefor he killed all them little children, after helping Jesus stay alive for 24 hours Jack Bauer needed to negotiate a hostage situation with Bowser (despite later finding out that the princess was in another castle) and it was up to Link, the hero of time, to stop Horus Heresy from catching Malcolm Reynolds and his crew aboard Serenity.
As reward for his heroic acts, Jesus uses his force powers to send Link back in time to make sure his parents get together so that he can be born and play guitar. This guitar playing was the inspiration for the Wild Stallions who not only gave rock and roll to you but also made Greedo stop when he shot first letting Han Solo shoot Greedo and get on the Millenium Falcon. This allowed them to fight off Sephiroth so that he wouldn't stop Logan from being fused with adamantian so that he could foil skynet's plans to kill John Conner.
Meanwhile, on Tatooine, Taarna battled with the Klingons to destroy the Locnar which gave her the position of Spectre. However she lost the position after losing a guitar battle with Clive Winston who spent his entire live training in the arts of guitar hero and as Qui-Gon said "he can see notes before they come, that's a jedi traight." The victory helped them get the parts they needed for their ship so they could get to Coruscant where Jack of Blades had all but destroyed the guild but was killed before you could say Balverine. After coming back as a dragon he was again killed by a passing Blastoise who not only had the type advantage but a lot of health potions and ressurection phials.
The effects of Jack of Blades weren't to go unnoticed but once again, England prevails! There was however a lot of crime and cover ups and the like until V blew up the death star again before it could be rebuilt (again) leaving Cade Skywalker to do other things... like Deliah Blue. Xenu, the final evolution of Natu and Xatu, then has a fight with Doctor Manhattan but used self destruct before Nappa could catch him. Nappa, being very dissappointed with this, teams up with Vegeta to go and fight Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin and that lot before being faced with Goku, who had a power level of... wait for it... OVER 9000!!!!
Goku proceeded to Kamehameha them both, but it was so powerful that it opened up a rift between realities, a reality where Ganondorf hadn't been sealed in the sacred realm and with his apprentice Darth Maul tried to take over mushroom kingdom using the power of the dark side and Macgyver's super powered mega lazers that he made out of a paper clip, 3 bowling shoes, a staple and a mauve helmet. Neil Buchanan says "here's one I made earlier." Eventually they overthrew King Kong from power which enabled them to turn the land pretty much inside out and back to front in search of the Dark Crystal. What they didn't anticipate however is that Peter Petrelli was guarding the Dark Crystal while he was in exile on the swamp planet Degobah.
He came accross the Dark Crystal when on a quest with Rodin (the crime solvin', rank eleven paladin) to end the threat of the side scrolling space invaders. They were unsuccessful because despite their best efforts and major victories, they could never gun down the last one and therefor were rendered defenseless and retreated into exile where he found the Dark Crystal. He realised it's power and vowed to protect it from the wrong hands.

Fantasy Hockey
Tonights match:
Mute City F-Zeroes Vs Indigo Plateau Pokemonz
The first period was a slow one for the F-Zeroes as it usually is because they can't boost until the second lap. This incurred the Pokemonz to take quite a few early shots some very close chances from Octillery that would have perhaps gone in off the rebound if he didn't have to recharge after a hyper beam. There was a lot of possession in the F-Zeroes defensive area until finally Arcanine managed to FIRE (nudge, nudge) a shot in from the blue line. Arcanine does particularly well at Ice Hockey despite it not being in his element. On the other side there wasn't a great deal of shots getting to the net minder but when they did Graveler's iron defense kept them all out. End of first Period ended 1 - 0 to the Pokemonz and shots were 16 - 5 respectively.
The second period started out a lot better for the F-Zeroes with a quick burst from the Mighty Gazelle (now being able to boost) getting to top speed and around Graveler to tie the match up. This started to make things look a lot even and there wasn't a whole lot to despute either team. There were quite a few penalties handed out also: Bio Rex for Roughing, Tangela for holding, Mr. Mime for boarding and there was a fight between Captain Falcon and Hitmonchan. The fight ended with one big FALCON PAAAUUUNCH!!! 2nd period ended 1 - 1 and shots were 21 - 15 in favour of the Pokemonz.
The final period comes and there seems to be nothing to separate these teams. The Pokemonz can't match the speed of the F-Zeroes but on the other hand they aren't playing as many lines as the Pokemonz are which in recent years has expanded to a large number of players. Silver Neelson shows his experience with some rather technical moves but can't play as many minutes as he used to giving Pigeotto a chance to swoop in and get the pass off across the net for Aipom to get the one time slap shot. Black Shadow after this tries to cheat and clones Captain Falcon making Blood Falcon, however all this acheives is a penalty for too many men on the ice. With just minutes yet to go Clefairy starts a metronome which seemed pretty tense but nothing happened. It comes to that time where there's nothing you can do but pull the net minder for the F-Zeroes. Seconds ticking by and Rydon gets the puck and uses Horn Drill to see if he can score an empty netter from one side to the other but it doesn't work because Horn Drill has a low accuracy. Finally the F-Zeroes manage to get the goal to send them in to over time with a goal from Super Arrow assisted by Mrs Arrow.
OT begins with both teams at 2 - 2 and at this point the Pokemonz are mostly out of PP and potions giving the F-Zeroes the advantage to take the quick goal to win the game. The goal came from some good team work between Gomar and Shioh to set up Captain Falcon (who won yet another Grand Prix incidently).
3 Stars of the game went to:
1.) Captain Falcon for game winning goal and leadership.
2.) Antonio Guster being the great defensemen that nobody knows is there.
3.) Mudkipz because I herd u liek them.

Quick Thought.
Why do alter egos / evil twins / other version of you from parallel dimensions always have goatees?If I had a parallel dimension version of me then he'd have to be 2 inches shorter, big afro, mutton chops and a lazy eye. Then he'd be wearing (because they always end up wearing the same thing where as mine wouldn't be) an eye patch, "He loves the cock ->" t-shirt with flairs, high tops on his feet and the gauntlets of ultimar.
There's always the situation where there's a mix up in which one's which and someone's pointing a gun at them and they're attempting to figure out which one's the real one whereas I've taken precautionary steps to make sure they know it's me. Some times the two versions of someone could be used as a plot device, I'm not necessarily against it as a rule as such but the whole mix up thing is just lazy writing. It makes me ask myself the question:
