Angus

Hello. I know I havn't posted in a while, but that's life! Anyway, I have come to tell you a story, of a fish. Yesternoon, I and my brothers and father were fishing on a bridge by a dam. Now we had had bad luck all day but finally, when my Father called me telling me there was a huge fish! I ran to his side and saw a cloud of dirt in the water which kept growing. then it stopped, and out came a catfish with it's mouth about six inches long and from tale to head about, a foot and a half or more! He was the biggest fish I'd seen in my whole life! I then cast my line right where he was, but, unfortunatley, he gave us his tale and swam away. I kept my line right there though, in the hope he was coming back. I waited for a while but he didn't come. So, I went to the other side of the bridge to see If I could see him there, but I didn't. Then my dad told me he saw him. So I ran to him, looked in, and saw him again. This time I called the other boys. They came and also casted in their lines which scared him away again. I then waited again. Now, Tony and David, my brothers, had been catching little trouts and Tony had an idea, Catfish only like stinky things like chicken livers and things like that, so, Tony went and sliced up a trout he had caught and gave us each a piece to put on our hooks. I got the head which I quicly hooked and threw into the water. He still didn't bite. Then we saw him again! And again! But still no bites. So, seeing as though we had to leave the campsite where our tent was in one hour, we decided to leave old Angus in the water. So we left. Though we may not have caught him, It was a pleasure to see the old bugar. This is my fish tale. If you liked it, you might like the way an old scotsman might tell it on my secondary blog, Alot o' Celtic Nonsense Aboot nothin'!

The Kingdom of Heaven

I have watched Kingdom of Heaven last night. I'm afraid I cannot, like Saxon, give it a high rating. I'm afraid I have to, on a scale of 1-10, put it on a two. The battles, weapons, coriography, costumes, and acting was superb. But these things are not what makes a movie good. It's a plot. I'm afraid the plot was very dragging. It was very disapointing. But considering how many people gave me their opinion of it, I was expecting something of that sort, but a little more than what it left me with. The movie, I am afraid, was jam packed with anti-Catholic lines, such as this line. They bash the Pope with this line "Killing a muslim, THE POPE HAS SAID, is not a sin, it is a path to heaven."

Now, the good side of it, The costumes were great! take a look at some and I'm not saying, see how cool they were, though that mey be part of it, But I am saying look at the Historicality of it:

Godfrey and his band

King Richard (not the actor from the movie)


TheIbelin surcoat


Balian of Ibelin


The Jerusalem Tunic


Balian in battle

Another great factor was the swords. They were probably the best done swords I've seen in a long time:

The sword of Tiberius

Sword of Saladin



Sword of Odo (this is the only one I'm not really keen on)




My altime favorite sord, the sword of Ibelin





Sword of Guy

The sword of the King. This one is not as good.

As for favorite characters, my three favorites are (in order)

Godfrey of Ibelin
Balian of Ibelin

The King of Jerusalem

He has to wear a mask because he is a leper

I love this! It Lego Vader leading the Clone Orchestra in his own theme:

Greetings.

Greetings, friends of my blog. I have come to catch up on my life. Swordmaking is going quite well. My brother has completed his second, well sanded, short knight sword which is capable of very hard blows. In fact, at 3:30 p.m. I pulled out my scottish long sword and he took his sword and a round saxon shield and he and I tested the swords in combet. We both proved eachother's skill with our favored weapons. He used the broad of his to execute a slash cutting my back, and I, in the second, fooled him by bringing my broadsword down over his head forcing him to put his shiled up and I then turned my blade and brought the edge of my sword onto his stomach thus gaining victory in record time: 0:06 seconds.

I have been using my webcam with my brothers and filming Jedi and Sith movies with myself playing the role of Emperor Palpatine or, if you prefer, Lord Sidious. With my new editing program, nameley, Pinnacle Studio HD Version 14 Ultimate Collection, we were able to perform great athletic deeds. Such as picking up a lightsaber which happend to be ten feet away without even moving from our postion, and even jumping 5 feet backwards onto a thin rail. Very tedious.

I have just now created a signature as you can see below, and I am sure I will enjoy it. We have been having trouble with our new ducks. They seem tobe too connected to the barn and we are doing our best to remedy their somewhat dull lives by bringing them away (but mostly for our own entertainment, Jolly good, whot!) And we have also perchased five Guinnee "Keets", if that's the way you bloody spell the bloody word, and one got through the wire and has disappeared. I hate this bloody time of the year. Every year, at this time, we have chicks hatch, and every year we end up being their mothers instead of their mothers being the mothers their bloody supposed to be! Well, I really have to get cracking so, Goodbye!

The Bridge over River Kwai

On friday we watched the movie, The Bridge Over River Kwai. An exelent movie (crazy ending) and my all time favorite scene is the part where the British soldiers come marching in:

The War of Doomsday

Every now and then, myself and my brothers have a battle, ot tournament, or an archery contest which helps with my coriography because we're going to be filming alot of fighting scenes for The Crusader's Tale.

David with his William Wallace sword.

Myself in the second Macar de Blendil costume (based off of Robin Hood's partly) and my broadsword.

Me as an archer.

Tony with Gimli's axe.

Gabriel with his broadsword.

The Battle and Tournament

Life

Hello everybody! It's me! I know, long time no here. Well, in the past months I have been quite busy. First, near the end of march, my sisters friends, Rachel and Emmy (Emmy meaning the Emmy the Irish-Scott from Celtic Nonsense) came to attend the Regency Exhibition Ball which took place March 27, 2010. We danced the whole night and then went home and slept little for the next day we had to wake up early for church. Very frustrating. Follwing this, I went on two weeks off of my current busness which you can find on my profile. In the first weeks of April I was occupied by my said buisness and my sister's birthday. The rest of April I was busy with many different projects such as the filming of "The Crusaders Tale" and the script of the up-coming production which still has no name. I will post later speaking of it. At the end of April was my birthday! And I recieved a new laptop and a new animation program! Wahoo! then, in these first weeks of May, I watched a new video that the people who made "The Hunt for Gollum" made. This new video is known as"Born of Hope" and exelently done movie. Pretty gorry but it was good! And here I am, waiting for another adventure to come my way.

And that is my life.

Happy Birthday to my Dearest Enemy

Oh Danny boy, the swords, the swords are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all your enemy's are conspiring
'Tis you, 'tis you must go well I go and hide.
But come ye back when I'm not in the meadow
Or when I'm hiding and blue with cold
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I can't stand you so.

And if you come, when all the enemies are conspiring
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And laugh and say "Yay for me"

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my nightmares will cold and horrid be
If you fail to come and find me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
(And then I'll attack or freak out or do something! :D)

Happy Birthday Danny Boy!
From your Arch-enemy
