When I was but a small obnoxious brat, I met most of you. Then shit exploded and I got lost... a few days ago, I felt like trying to locate the message board I had been a part of for a few years.
And I did it. I freaking found it. I found every familiar name I have ever remembered in my younger days.
I suppose I should re-introduce myself, as it is only fitting. I am the older member Riku, and my real name is Trent Whitehead. If you don't remember me, that's quite okay, but I remember all of you. I will be 18 next week, going into psychology for my college major, and getting back into forum posting.
Hey guys.
It's been four years.
Just wanted to drop by.

Trust me, if you remembered me as a kid, you wouldn't have liked it.
I read back over the archive.
I deserved to be kicked in the nuts several times for my annoyance.

Regardless of whose testicles need a good yanking/stomping/smashing, I have found my way back here.
With a little luck I might add.
It's awesome.
You guys are awesome. |

Now I've played the demo, and it seems amazing, but I just can't decide if it's worth it's full retail price. Is there anybody here that has a copy of this game?
I throughly enjoyed the first one, despite the mixed reviews, but I really hear this one is supposedly lacking. |

I miss New Coke/Coke 2. It was only discontinued because of how much it was hated for replacing Coca-Cola in the first place, and the original formula wasn't that bad. In fact, if I had to guess, it tasted a bit like Pepsi.
It was pretty decent. |

I think Coke 2 was discontinued in 2002. It lasted a good decade though.
And while it had similar tastes as Pepsi, it still had this... uniqueness about it. It's hard to explain, but I will say it did give off this Pepsi vibe, all while masquerading as something original. |

No. The odd thing is I never seem to need to venture north, and it's unlikely Maine will ever be on my way anywhere, except Maine.
It's one of my least likely to visit states. But hey, nothing against Maine  |

Nice!
Unlikely I'll ever get another taste of Coke 2 though It's easier to acquire Mexican Coke. And, if I might add, much better than American Coke.  |

You guys are quite the lucky bunch, having locally built restaurants and all. I have McDonald's and Sonic. Stupid rural areas...
Anyway, I've been wanting to try the fries myself, but as someone else mentioned, I'm a bit afraid. I liked their old taste a lot, so I'm hoping this isn't a drop in quality. I will remain optimistic though, and trust Wendy's isn't going downhill for an experiment. |

Thank you for all of the warm welcomes, although I am sorry to hear about your sad ball busting testicle story.
I shall be in the corner if someone needs me.

I wrote this about a year ago. Enjoy
You all worry me
I cannot fit in
I have no amazing tricks
You all expect entertainment
I just simply exist
To fill the space
The only amazing talent
That I ever really had
You claim to be friends
You claim to want me
But you're all so quick to run
To find someone better than I
You all worry me,
You're all temporary
And it's how I've always lived
I have nobody to stand by for eternity
Perhaps I should let go
Live for myself
And leave you all
To fight off your own demons
But the question I posed
Was a simple gesture
Repeated by many before me
We've always wanted to know
Would you miss me?
Would anything change?
If not, then I have failed
As an influence, a sidekick, a mentor
And if I have changed anything,
Your eyes will have opened
Your minds would have been lost
You would have regretted losing me
But alas, you carry on
Until you have extracted all you want
I am not normal, no, get over it
I am simply me, no more and no less
And so you were gone
But in reality you were still there
But you left my heart
And treated me like a zombie
The bottle was empty
no matter how thirsty I was
And it was a dead end
Yet I still pressed on
I'm not an angry person
I am another definition of mad
You just don't get it
I had given all I had
We're approaching a point
In this short life of mind
Beneath the humble outside
Behind all of the peace
For I write poetry with the best intent
To deal with emotions calmly
But inside every person
Is the taint of a twisted heart
Vulgarities are not my goal
They aren't even fit for me
I don't use them for anger
But for my feelings of hopelessness and regret
So fuck you for standing aside
For fucking spitting on my efforts
Every damn day its all the same
The same shitty pattern of pointlessness
Fools squander their intelligence
Idiots perform deeds unspeakable
Ingrates ruin the world I stroll in
And liars burn my soul
Yet these men and I
These fucking terrible people
The ones who challenge my patience
Are the ones that are loved and remembered
I am left, alone, isolated
And it's not alright
I wonder if I'm just not grasping it
Or they're just not grasping me
What is my purpose?
It's hard to say
I live to die, I hope to survive
But this small word can't hold
A day in the future will be worse
I will sink lower than before
But I try to hold on
To make the fall less painful
But I have accepted my place
On the lonely island
Where the animals thrive
Yet pretend I'm not around
But it isn't just that
If I'm lonely I'm not doing enough
As long as you're busy, isolation is love
But once you're lying there it changes
The intelligent think too much
The weak cannot do anything
The nice ones are push away
The different ones are stoned in humiliation
But the things that matter most
Are the things that hurt the worst
Your friends can damage you more than any
Your enemies mean nothing at this point
Friendships grant strength
You cannot survive without them
But you will have different friends
You will forget me, and my influence
But I cannot change anything
The universe has their way
Of course correcting events
That cannot change
Your heart will be heavy
You better hope
you can handle the loss
Of all you know
But all is not lost
I still cling to hope
It's crumbling
but it's there |

I have noticed since I have been a senior at my school, I've been bored a lot. Not from school work, the lack there of! And I just now started driving, which appears to be a habit for the bandies in my school, so I'm cool with that.
Now soon to work as a corporate fast-food slave so I can buy things... |

| Hmm. Wasn't expecting that much of an increase... I have actually gotten into a habit of eating salt-less fries because of random health fears. I may try it once though... although I probably won't like the extra salt. |
