It has been close to 4 years since I started my Gaia Journal, and 3 with Live Journal, so I shall restart it. My name is Justin, and I live in Virginia. But then, that's what you need to know.

The title resulted from an older title of my older blogs. It was Observations on Earth from the Sea of Tranquility. But in almost every forum I've been in, the location indicator has always been 'Tsienville, Europa', an homage to Stanley Kubrick's momentous work. This is a clone of my blog on Gamer's Sanctuary.

Anyways, what will this blog produce, if it even produce anything at all?

In Defense of my Modship - An Essay Posted 07-04-2008 at 03:46 PM by Okazaki Tomoya Updated 07-04-2008 at 03:49 PM by Okazaki Tomoya My Modship, Nepotism? God Forbid Not! An short essay on values, personas, and professionalism in an unprofessional medium. It has come to my attention that within the existing administrative structure, there is uneasiness in my status as a moderator in the forum. I have no clear facts, nor am I totally blind. I know the consequences of my actions, and also know I will forever harbour that mark on my forehead as Cain has his from fratricide. But I digress, this is about... Continue reading...

Roleplaying Ineptness and Issues with Idiots, Part 1 Posted 05-02-2008 at 07:46 PM by Okazaki Tomoya "Roleplaying is like writing a story with several people." -Unnamed friend. Roleplaying. This is merely a follow up to the Identity Issues and Melancholic States blog entry, written, oh...like a few hours ago for me. The focus mainly is me venting about roleplaying. In particular, online text based roleplay. I know many people scorn it. I know many people would hate me for it. But guess what? Tough luck. I have my preferences and you have yours. If...

Identity Issues and Melancholic States Posted 05-02-2008 at 09:39 AM by Okazaki Tomoya "The great artist is a slave to his ideals." -Christian Nestell Bovee Why is it that, I often think of things that has nothing to do with life?

Fifth. Then eventually the hundredth. Thousandth. Millionth. Its my opinion, and I admit I got it from an anime, that without pain, there is no such thing as beauty. Man lives to be a living paradox. An embodiment of the supreme diety's ability to be kind and mean to us at the same time. Many people don't realize this. They swing towards both ends of the human emotional and moral spectrum. And it isn't... Continue reading... Okazaki Tomoya Crazy Military Otaku
