#382 Kyogre

Or 海 kai (ocean) and orca. And now you’re learning things. Good for you. Pat yourself on the shoulder.

I honestly hold that as one of my few life philosophies. Learn to get really excited over the small things. Like when somebody asks the date and you know it without thinking for very long, feel free to just say to yourself ‘I am the gatekeeper of time’.

Hey. Remember Kyogre? We had some laughs. If you’re like me (Like me, LIKE ME, like me, LiKe Me!1!, Like…me) it’s finals week for you. I have but one final left and I am very excited for it. I finished that sentence in autobrain mode. Sometimes when I write I just start thinking about something else and my hands finish typing in the most boring style possible. I had eggs for breakfast. No but that is a real thing.

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, or an iPad, I encourage you to check out the app ‘Melodica’. I can’t stop playing around with that. It’s great. You hit some keys and it makes music and I like music. Speaking of music, Fun. released an iTunes Session the other day and it totally stands on its own. I paid for it. Yeah, I have the Internet and I bought music. Pat myself on the back there.

I should probably talk about PKMN or something. I’m checking out this Pokemon3D game. I haven’t started for fear that its a virus, but it looks neat.

I’ve started a pattern of training PKMN I wouldn’t normally train as of late. For 9instance, my White 2 version has an Azumarill named Aziz, and Arcanine named Arethra, a Lucario named Lucius, and Altaria named Aria, a Zoroark named Zander, and a Reuniclus named Ulysses. I like naming things.

Which reminds me. My friend, Megan and I have what some would call a band. Others would call it a fantasy, but we’re sticking with band. Anyway, it turns out the name ‘Valentigers’ is taken. That sucks because our high school was the Valley Tigers and it just merged so now they’re the North Tiger Hawks. So I pitched ‘Human Holiday’. If you have any good suggestions I won’t pick them because of the whole superiority complex but I’ll lovingly rip them off. (I hope the sarcasm came across in that sentence)

Mary, if you’re out there…you have a very generic name but a very pretty face. Tallia Mei, same message but reverse it.

Thanks for reading, looking at the pictures, and reblogging. Especially reblogging. Sometimes people haven’t seen these and they’re all ‘I’m glad this person reblogged that.’ And I’m all ‘Me too.’

#244 Entei

…papa? If that is what you wish. To this day that is still the creepiest PKMN movie. Of course I have yet to sit down and watch PKMN B+W, but unless Victini and Reshiram spend the whole movie on a playground with their index fingers in their navels, I think we’re safe. That was a very specific mental image.

Sorry about the lack of post last night, but not too sorry. I don’t expect to returning to be a daily blog. As long as I made it though, rest assured you’ll see it.

I’ve recently made plans to go to another college to see other friends, so I’m excited for that. But until then, I have a paper to write. I don’t see it being an issue, but it still requires the time to write. So I’ll be writing a paper. I’ve come to admire the blogger’s ability to stretch out the sentences ‘I’m traveling soon, and I have to write a paper.’

I’d like to thank you all here before the standard-order thank you below. You guys are awesome. You’re polite and witty and forgiving of grammatical faux pas, you’re just super.

Thanks so much for your continued support! I truly appreciate it. Thank you for being the people you are. Remember when this section used to be funny?Good times. Good times.

Hey, do you remember that time when I had that blog where I cut up pop cans and sculpted them? Those were some good times.

After three months of absenteeism I only lost 300 followers and gained a few too. So that’s pretty neat.

I’d love to catch you up completely, but it’s only a text post.

Here’s the short version: My internet at home got a lot worse. A LOT WORSE. We’re talking slower than dial-up. So I couldn’t post without much effort.

I got a summer job at a convenience store. Depending on who I worked with it was (awesome/miserable).

I fell in love with someone who coincidentally was in love with me. We broke things off because we’re going to different schools and all. It was a good summer.

So I made a Kyogre, an Entei and another Umbreon this summer. That’s it.

In order to get back into the flow of things again, I’ll be doing some freebies for minimal effort. Once I post Kyogre and Entei, if y’all could reblog those that’d be awesome. Expect one up tonight.

In the meantime, I’ll pick out some random loyals and let you pick a PKMN for me to cut for free. If you’re interested, message me. If you’re very interested, massage me.

A couple of things about the freebies. I’ll be doing five of them (for now). They have to be Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Light Blue, Gold or White.

So…I’m excited to be back and tumbling again. I miss passable internet and I’ve missed you all.

Thanks for following and all that fun stuff. You guys are truly awesome.

—-one more thing, I’m looking for a gif of someone going ragdoll. If you could include that in your message or whatever, that’d be great. I’ll explain later. For now, I’m off to class.

#123 Scyther

This is the first PKCN (official abbreviation) I made. It’s Scyther, as is indicated a few times.

So, I have crunched the numbers. I thought long and hard about each can sculpture I’ve made. It started in my room on 56, then to Randy’s room. My home base right now is in my dorm.

Ladies and gentlemen…Absol, my most recent post, was my 170th can sculpture!

Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll go ahead and give this post a respectable text.

#123 Scyther (The Mother Can)

Ahh…the good old days. I made this one when I was going through a very sad time in my life. I had recently left a group of friends due to personal differences, and I was feeling pretty depressed (how awesome is this post?). I honestly just grabbed my roommate’s scissors and the hot glue gun I bought  from Menard’s and spent three solid hours forging this from a Mountain Dew can that my roommate drank.

I still have this can, despite having sold it in the past to my friend, Jimmy. I bought it back and replaced it with a replica.

I don’t think Scyther’s my favorite PKMN, but this is probably my favorite PKCN.

Anyway, the main central point of this post is…uh…I make sculptures out of pop cans, it’s my 19th birthday, and I’ve made 170 PKCNs to date.

Thank you all so incredibly much.

#063 Abra

Abra took a lot of dedication. The head shape and size were the biggest factors. That is until I pierced the stand so he could levitate. In the process, I cut open my index finger. Abra is definitely up there with Raichu on my favorites list. But I think I would consider selling it.

Someone somewhere…ordered a PKCN and my Abra. Well I was looking at my Abra today when I realized that I still have it.

So if that was you, pokecans.com/ask me your info and I’ll get that to you.

Tehehe

#105 Marowak

used BONE CLUB! Oh, that reminds me. If you’re planning on starting a PKMN themed bar or disco tech, the ‘Bone Club’ is not a winner. You can serve Dratini’s, Victini’s and Gyarados Equis, but don’t call it the ‘Bone Club’. Try ‘PKMN’ or ‘The Tipsy Tentacool’.

I need my caffeine fix. Believe it or not, it’s quite addictive. You can fight it and not have many problems, but naturally detoxing from caffeine is a bit tiresome.

I did something tonight that I haven’t done in years. I bought a pack of PKMN cards. Black and White version. Oddly satisfying, but I didn’t score any winners. Also, I was kind of hoping for a Gen 1, but apparently gen 5 packs are all gen 5 cards.

I’m going to score the food. I meant to type score ‘some’ food, but I’m going to interpret that as my brain coming up with a catchphrase. Thank you, brain.

(Open on a cool spring evening, a lone person sitting at a laptop. Suddenly, an envelope appears atop their hand. The subject looks left, then right, and nonchalantly opens the envelope. Written in beautiful handwriting is a phrase. The subject reads the message aloud): Thanks for following and reblogging! 

Also, Aaron Frederick, whoever you are, thanks for the penny! I enjoyed the confusion quite a bit.

#009 Blastoise

My personal 2nd, 3rd, or maybe 4th favorite. I really like that Raichu. If my dorm got robbed, the first thing I would check for is that Raichu.

Anyway, I made this planning to sell it, but my roommate liked it so much that I gave it away in exchange for access to Netflix.

I thought it could use a reblog. What the hay?

#007 Squirtle (Version 3 for Reddit user deathorglory)

I call it ‘Squirtle used SURF’. As soon as I finished Alex’s Squirtle, I got a commission to do one via Reddit. It was monotonous at first, but I got into it. Also ‘Psych’. I’m watching a lot of Psych. I know it’s lazily written and the mysteries are half-hearted, but it’s my guilty pleasure.

I plugged a follower counter on the blog site. It seems more honest somehow. So you all know I have 273 followers. And I have you to thank for that.

If you see any of my pics on a reblog, give me a follow, you’ll like what you’ll see. AND! And I’ll follow you back. High five, bro!

#083 Farfetch’d

DUX, if you prefer. Has this PKMN been anything but annoying? In the anime, he was a punk thief. In the game, he had the worst nickname in nickname history.

But, he is adorable and if you mentally personify PKMN the way I do, he was a chill dude who could play the guitar.

Also, there has to be a leek spin video with Farfetch’d right? Hold on, I’ll Google it.

Yup! Bazaam.

As always, thanks for the fruit baskets. By which I mean following. If I haven’t followed you back, it’s because it’s not in your cards. Reblog, send me a message to let me know and I’ll follow you back. Wow that was a long one.

#007 Squirtle (Version 2 for Alex Gomer)

This Squirtle will survive. Actually, I just realized that because the guy who bought Beer Can Squirtle lives in an apartment, I can tell you HE SURVIVED! He’s safe, happy, and well out of reach of the University’s reach.

This guy is pretty big. I hate buying LaCroix because it is very bad tasting (ooh…very descriptive), but the cans are ever so usable.

Thanks for fowling and rebulging!
