United States
WRITER. ARTIST. THINKER. INVOLUNTARY RECLUSE. I work under my own name, Marque Terrynamahr Strickland, or my pen name, Wrinklegus PoisonTongue. I absolutely ADORE artistically brilliant people. I surround myself with them, as it is with them that I feel most comfortable. I owe everything to artistic people, for without you, I would be nothing. Be you a writer, painter, actor, musician, architect, or whatever, I thrive upon your efforts. You are the air I breath. My solace. My stronghold. My safety net. My sanity. My reason for living. I love you all. Childish. Creative. High maintenance. Sensitive. Insensitive. Insecure. Quick tempered. Loving. Loyal. Lustful. Incredibly horny (especially after 3 decades of involuntary celibacy). Mischievous. Bombastic. Slightly domineering, yet fair and easy to please. Talented to no end. Know-it-all. Chaste. Afraid of germs. Healthy. Insightful. Artist. Born on St. Patrick's Day, I am a PISCES with VIRGO rising, two signs of opposition, which complete me. By the Chinese Zodiac, I'm a DRAGON with ROOSTER rising. —The ‘f-bomb’ is my favourite swear word.

Incredible holographic performance!

(I KNEW this could be done...I just needed to see it! Leave it up to the Japanese to be this damn brilliant! This is VERY inspirational for certain projects I'm going to do in the future!)

Japanese 3D singing hologram Hatsune Miku becomes nation's strangest pop star

By Niall Firth

She is cute, stylish and has had a number one chart-topping single. But Japan’s newest and biggest pop star differs from most of her peers in one crucial aspect: she is a hologram. Hatsune Miku has taken the music scene by storm in her native Japan where her concerts are always sold out and are full of screaming, adoring fans. Now, like something out of a science fiction film, videos have emerged which show Miku on tour in Japan, singing a selection of hits.

Miku is a digital avatar created by Japanese technology firm Crypton Future Media that customers can purchase and then program to perform any song on their computer. She is supposed to be 16 years old and five foot two inches tall but her makers have given little away about her personality. Crypton uses voices recorded by actors and then puts them through Yamaha’s Vocaloid software to create its characters.

Miku’s voice was created by taking vocal samples from the voice actress Saki Fujita. All of the samples contained a single Japanese sound which when strung together would create full words and phrases. Her music and image have proved so popular that she has now gone on a sell-out tour where thousands of fans wave light sticks and scream as if she is a real-life pop star.

It is the first time a hologram has been used on stage in this way, moving and strutting just like a real pop star. Gorillaz, the band fronted by Damon Albarn, used projected holograms at the MTV music awards in 2005 and 2006 but these were projected onto a back screen, rather than in full three dimensions.

Miku has become such a star that she already has a fan club, Facebook page and has set up ‘her’ own record label. She has also appeared in a number of episodes of popular Japanese anime TV programs. She performed her first ‘live’ concert in 2009 and has also travelled to Singapore on tour. In March 2010 three metal plates with Hatsune Miku’s image etched on them were placed on board Japanese spacecraft Akatsuki and sent into space after a nationwide petition with more than 14,000 signatures demanded she be included.

Kids: Sometimes you just wanna.....jeezus!

(This post is "appropriate" now that I'm no longer working in the school system and don't have a need to have my profile set to private. I won't be ashamed of my dislike for this child...he was terrible. LOL.)

Okay, so I had one of those moments today when I looked at one of the students I work with, who, of course, was across the room acting an ass, and I thought to myself: "WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. THIS. BOY? HE IS A GODDAMN FOOL! I SWEAR IF I MET HIM ON THE STREET AFTER SCHOOL..."
So, of course, one of my six-year-olds, Devonte (the kid I adore), looks at me with a big smile, leans in and whispers: "Mista Strick-a-lin...why you cussing?"
It was only then that I realized I'd been thinking out loud again! (God, help me! LOL.)
—M
Just a little FYI...that little demon (the objection of my irritation/the kid acting up) was on suspension by the end of the day. I won't have to look at him for two days, thank God!

Jashaun Agosto: Give him 10 years...this kid is going to be a GOD!

When we think of geniuses, it's often mathematics and science that we think of...but there are also athletic geniuses!
(...and, NO, I'm not exaggerating about this kid! Just take a look!)
