Listening to: Iron Maiden- Lord of Light

Hey, I kinda got up early. Like...10 Hours earlier...So, I'm gonna go to the Abandoned Train-Yard at 1:00 instead. It is 6:54 now, so, I am going in about 6 hours. Gives me a bit of extra time to back-research on the area, so that's a plus. Negatives, are obvious. I'm going to be tired as hell, cos I only got two hours sleep.

Ahh, my first expedition. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe I'll meet a few friends along the way. It's 1.39 Miles away (measured on Google Earth), but that's nothing, I walked that almost every day back at Middletown. The only problem is I gotta walk up a huge hill, then down a huge hill, vice versa on the way back, of course. Man, I wish I had a car...Two more years, eh? I'm gonna get a VW Van...Whoa, getting off topic.

I'm also feeling pretty good, cos my story was well received by the site I posted it on. It's called Judgement, the plot isn't too complicated. It's basically about a british kid named Vincent Victors who gets his world turned upside down by a girl named Melody Yasana. Not really "epic" by A. Non. Emoose' standards, but it should be good, maybe I'll post it here. 10 Chapters.

Iron Maiden, is my favorite band. I like them like I like Ikki Tousen in Television. And that's a whole damn lot. I'll listen to them 24/7 if I could.

Here's a question to ponder: what are dreams? They are the manisfestation of subconscious desires, I know that much, so why aren't I having dreams about Chou'un? (Get your mind out of the gutter, mate, I'm not like that)

Anyway, that's all, I'm going to start a new thread on the UE Northeast board, so drop by if you're interested in seeing my "adventure".

See you around,
Malachai/Atno

Hey, Malachai here, for Day Two and A Half. Every day after an exploration, I'll post a "Day [insert number here] and a half" journal entry. These are basically the post-game shows of my Urban Exploration.

My first expedition was really interesting, cos it really wasn't an expedition. I just walked around town, taking pictures of abandonments. It was fun however...

My next exploration may either be a rock Quarry or an abandoned Factory. I still have not decided...Chances are, the rock Quarry, cos I love them.

That's all, maybe I'll edit this, later.

Title: NOBODY KNOWS is the opening theme for the television show XXXHOLiC, it's a unique song with Hip-Hop, Jazz, and classic rock elements.

Hey, it's me again, Atno000 (of course, no one knows my password...)

If I were to pick one game that has to do with Urban Exploration, it would be Silent Hill. SH is my second favorite game series, next to Final Fantasy. I used to be terrified of survival horror games, now I can't get enough of it. I can't wait until fall. September 30th is gonna be my day. I'm gonna head up to the Factory area, in tribute to the game on the 29th. I can't wait! Man...

The State Hospital, I wanna get in there so badly...It's one of 10 reasons I became an Urban Explorer. I might list the other reasons later.

Yes, I will be discussing Chou'un Shiryuu again. I know it's sad to love ink and paper, but she's so damn perfect! She's not a slut, like the other girls in the series. I'm sorry about that, but I can't help it.

I made a Flickr account, if anyone is interested. http://www.flickr....otos/28904797@N05/ that's the link to my Photostream.

I planned out my next 5 expeditions:
1) Rock Quarry/Quarry Plant [daytime]- 7-30-08
2) Lake? [daytime, a little before the quarry]- 7-30-08
3) White Rock Pegmatite Quarries [daytime]- Sometime before School starts
4) Abandoned Train-yard (south-west)[daytime]- 8-6-08
5) Holly Hock Island (Factory, House) [daytime]- 8-13-08

Here's some irony: my exploration day is Wednesday. What show comes on AT-X on Wednesdays? Ikki Tousen Great Guardians. My life has a very strong connection to that TV show. I'm getting tired of these coincidences.

See you at the abandonments...
Atno/Malachai

1) The State Hospital-
What's in there? Many have seen pictures on the internet, few have been inside. I want to be one of the latter.

2) Abandoned Buildings-
Obviously, Abandoned buildings are freaking awesome! No fake, I'm 100% on that. Abandoned buildings fuel our expeditions. They are concealing secrets, and it's an Urban Explorers job to learn those secrets.

3) Expeditions-
Expeditions, another reason why I want to get out there and explore some more.

4) excercise-
I was slowly becoming fat. Then, I went on my first exploration, I ran EVERYWHERE! I ran from my house to the high school, and ran halfway back.

5) People-
I used to be anti-social, but now, I wanna meet each and every one of you, cos you all seem pretty interesting.

6) Friends-
On the way back from my first expedition, I talked to someone, and now, the wheels of my life are in motion. I wouldn't have done that otherwise, but since I was in a good mood...

7) Chou'un-
I just felt like adding her...She plays an important role in my life.

8) Get out of the house-
I hate being cooped up in my house, but I also hate being outside...So, I combined the two. Abandoned buildings= Outside and Inside.

9) Iron Maiden-
Always bring my MP3 player with me, so I can listen to Maiden. Maiden fuels me.

10) Life-
Contemplating it is no fun, you should get out there and actually DO something!
Break Stuff, Steal Things, hell, even kill someone...Well, those aren't good examples, but still...Don't sit around wasting your life, get out there and do stuff. But not the stuff I said.

Is anyone reading this?
Atno/Malachai

Heya....

I notice I'm attracted to certain TV Shows year round:
Summer: Ikki Tousen- It's like diving into the beach, the smell, the sounds (the sights *wink wink nudge nudge*), also, just the feeling. After watching it, I feel refreshed.
Fall: Samurai Champloo- Color scheme, feel, etc
Winter: xxxHOLiC- Like wrapping up in a quilt in front of the fire
Spring: FLCL- watching it just reminds me of lying in a meadow
Year round:
Ikki Tousen- Of course
Seinfeld- Cos Kramers a funny f*ck
-
Music for each season:
Summer: Bloc Party
Fall: Iron Maiden
Winter: Slipknot
Spring: Dir En Grey
Year Round:
Iron Maiden
Bloc Party
-
Next exploration in 4 days. Can not wait. I might go earlier.

Thanks for listening,
Atno000/Malachai

(is anyone even reading this?)

Okay, here's the deal:

I've been taking a break from what little UE I was doing, and for that, I apologize. If it helps, I will be posting a small bit of my emotions along with my posts. That will come at the end if you can be a good child and listen. Joking...?

If you aren't listening to Girugamesh, do it now. I can't understand what they're saying, but the shit is DEEP! I'm constantly thinking!

That 'll be a little divider, here is your "treat", you get to read about my feelings for a woman who does not exist. I'm so ronery...I know.

Never, by "Malachai" (pseudonym):

Never going to breathe the air you do.
Never going to see the sky you do.
Never hold you.
Never kiss you.
Never feel your skin.
Never feel your touch.
Never smell your smell.
Never hear your beautiful voice.
Never stroke your hair.
Never going to romance you.
Never going to see you.
Never going to hold the door open for you.
Never going to touch your face.
Never going to hold your body.
Never going to see you.
Never going to take you out to eat.
Never going to do homework with you.
Never going to sneak out to see you.
Never going to (foolishly) sing in front of you.
Maybe I should stop being negative...
At least we were born in the same generation.
In separate Universes

Hurro, it's me, as you know my username by now [fucking hate writing these little "intros"]

Well, I'm heading to the Thermos Factory today. In addition, I will explore it as I normally would, but I will also have something on my mind.

Chou'un Shiryuu.

On the advice of a member from Unexplained-Mysteries [centered]:
Mmmm a plastic reality topic.

Ok I to have often found myself thinking about something only to find mysterious coincidences cropping up in the days after it. It only happens if I use the creative part of my mind or if what Im thinking about provokes an emotional response but yes coincidences crop up like nothing. Have a search on non local forces.

I know this might sound like a strange thing to do but if there is something you really want I recomend writing a poem or short story about it everyday for the next week. The reason behind this is it uses your creativity which comes from your subconscious. Then see what coincidences crop up.
I have been writing short stories about my feelings for her, and maybe, an "odd coincidence" will occur. Maybe, one won't.

I will be praying for one to with all my will. Wish me luck...

I decided to just post the titles, and not the actual subject matter, cos then I feel pressured to make stuff, and end up talking about stuff that doesn't need to be talked about.

Why "The Once and Future King"? Because, Malachai is making a comeback. I will be going to school as ballsy as Ouin Shishi. I will have the attitude of Chou'un Shiryuu, the body of Toutaku Chuuhei [without all the bandages...], and the balls of Ouin Shishi. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Speaking of social events, I went to Lake Compounce today. I had a slightly altering experience on the trolley there. Not gonna go into details, but Malachai shall return. That's all I'm sayin'.

Since you listened, you get a Chun'un picture...

Hey guys. I just realised a lot of things browsing this site.

I love this site. Everyone's so nice, happy and they always keep a positive (being criminals, nonetheless. Joking...haha?) It's like living in a small town, everyone knows everyone, it's a very tight knit community. I promise you, I'll be sticking around for a while. I hope Avatar-X decides to do a christmas theme again, so I can see it too. Halloween, Thanksgiving...Holidays are gonna be epic here. If you're reading this: Thank You, for making this site the great site it is.
I also added a suggestion to the new UER theme, but I personally think it should stay the same.

But tomorrow (Wednesday, August 13th, 2008), I will do a real exploration. I will be walking on the train tracks in Norwich, CT. I should contribute to the site, you know?

Thanks for listening, and sorry if that post sounded awkward.

Boy, what you gonna do with your life?

So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer
Want to be remembered for what you could create

So you want to be a cowboy, riding to the distance
Never have to listen or answer to anyone

So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts
Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit

Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you?
Is your pain more worthy than everybody else?

Huh...I survived a month in UER. I saw many odd things, many curios, many things that actually made me cry. Including my own life. When you take a look around, and notice that the dreams are better than reality...You realise you won't be happy, unless you have what you want. But what if it's something you can never have? Like a work of fiction (i.e. Chou'un) or a song that inspires you to actually get something on with your life (i.e. Compliments [REMIX], can't find a torrent anywhere].

I want to live like Tidus. We have only one thing in common, alas, but I would like to live his life. Chou'un could be Yuna...Ah well. My life is boring, and I'm so ronery [;_;]. But that is my decision. My one true wish is to lie on the beach, with Chou'un, just listening to the waves crash against the coast, and staring at the sky, trying to count the stars. But my issue isn't the fact I have no friends, I have many acquaintances, and a few people who I trust with my life. My only issue is, I cannot speak to girls, for some odd reason, but I could truly care less about 'real' girls...I want CHOU'UN!

If I were taken to Spira, I'd be eternally happy. Away from the hassle of real life, into an epic adventure. I suppose that is why I joined this forum. Adventure. Pictures. History. A life...

But enough about depressing Me. I love this community, it's so small town-esque. It's a brilliant collaboration between artists, and humans. The abandonments I have learned of in the past 30 days, the people I have had brief conversations with, they are all fascinating and riveting. 97 Posts [maybe more...] I have made. Ninety-Seven. Half of them being actual, you know, contribution. So: 97/2=48.5, which should be more than enough...
Perhaps I shall stick around, perhaps I will give up. Maybe I love this, maybe I secretly hate it. Which is it? That's for you to decide. Find yourself in me, and I will try to do the reverse.

Again, thank you for taking the time to read this, and once again, I apologise for the awkward post.

Whoa...This is pretty weird. I just realised, Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon will be the last Playstation 2 game I play and beat fully... [that I haven't done before]
