My real name is Darrel Eugene Hinton and i'm a 21 year old male living in Junction City, Kansas with my wife, Kesha, and daughter, Keyara. I work for the military full-time and hop across the different states in the US and across the different countries going through different training and using different CPU's around the globe to post on Otaku Boards. :D I love playing Kingdom Hearts and I have just beat KH II. The sequel is, in fact, better than the original. [But you have to play the original first!] I just hope KH III is also equally great.

I had the extreme unplesure of being an only child. My mom worked double shifts to keep us alive, leaving me at the house alone beginning at [B]age 7[/B]. I had to learn how to do things on my own, ya know?... And even though my only friend was [B]'Sonic the Hedgehog' on Sega Genesis [/B] (1990s) I never wanted to be around anyone, not even my mom. But in time, I learned to cope. I had no choice. My brother Darius came into the world when I was 13 and I thought to myself[B] "Thank gawd, i'm not alone anymore!!!" [/B] But as he grew older, I wasn't able to cope with him constantly in my life. I love my brother, don't get me wrong, but it took time to 'get used to him' because all he did was make me mad by getting in my stuff and doing the oppisite of everything I told him to do. Now that i'm 21 and look back on it all, [B]my only wish is that no one grows up by themselves[/B]. You can change your 'loner' attitude growing up (I had to. My friends wouldn't let me dwell to myself), but it's very hard, trust me. Because of my life, I consider myself to be[B] 'mature beyond my years' [/B] while still being [B]'a kid at heart'[/B] :tasty:

[quote name='Sojiro47']TPBM has had a Monster energy drink within the last hour![/quote] Wow..... True. I just finished drinking one right now... Do you have some ESP or something man?... [quote name='BlackTigerGurl']TPBM has kicked their little brother/sister off the computer plenty of times.[/quote] False... My little brother, Darius is only 8 and would rather play my Playstation 2 than get on the CPU. TPBM lives in California

Plenty of times. I'm not bragging about it or anything, i'm just saying i've had my share of cheating on tests! :animeswea TPBM is a great artist.

:animesigh I wish there could be a utopia on earth but for everything to be perfect... I don't think it could possibly work out in this lifetime. Men and women are curious by nature and rebel against conformity. It's been that way since man was created and will continue to stay that way. *I do believe in a utopia after death, however. But that is a different story entirely.*

What the... no!.... False!! *Can that really happen?? :twitch: Wierd... Anyway... TPBM has an aquarium

[QUOTE=musical_kitten]k, next one: ANIME I just had to do that. [/QUOTE] Watch while I work it out good fellows... All 'Nobodies' integrate mechanical enigmas. Sorry, KH2 is on my mind. Heartless, Nobodies, Keyblades,... hmm... I got my next acronym for 'the person below me' (A great secondary post besides this one). Next Acronym: [B]OBLIVION[/B] (Perhaps the best keyblade in KH with the exception of ULTIMA WEAPON)

True and false, :animeswea I consider myself a nerd, but I do have a life. :animesmil TPBM lives near water. (And by near, I mean opening up your blinds and seeing a body of water. Not 5 or 10 miles away.)

I live by two simple quotes that have gotten me through a lot of heartache and pain: 1: Everything happens for a reason. 2: Play the cards that were dealt to you. I hope that someone can use these quotes to ensure a better, more positive life as it did myself.

Tessa sucked in air heavily as she fought back her tears. Lumine could relate with her to a certain extent at the door of the bar called Hell's Haven. All she wanted to do was find [I]her own place[/I]... whether it be in the world, or in her own heart. Lumine felt sympathy for Tessa while her emotional defenses were down. He wanted to hold her, to tell her everything would be okay, that he would never put her through so much stress... His training from 'The Orginization', however, had rusted the emotions he wanted to convey to his new friend long ago. Instead, Lumine put on his EPG's, [I](regaining his sight picture and dulling the other senses)[/I] and walked to Tessa who sat on the curb, taking a drag of a cigarette. [I]She looked like she [B]needed[/B] someone.[/I] "Want to go back to the inn?" Lumine asked Tessa, double-checking his gloves at the open door. "Yeah." As they walked back to the Inn, Lumine said very little; aside from pointing out things in the bar before the Crimson Slayer attacked. Tessa said nothing, however; absorbing Lumine's words like comfort food and giving back no input in return. She was depressed and it wasn't like Lumine was helping the situation any. He thought back to the conversation James and Tessa had back in the bar: [B][I]The Adoption Agency, Children, Love, James, Keith, Carrer, Life, Not able to give life,[/I][/B] "..........Not able to give life? [I]Why?[/I]" "[I]Why[/I] do you need to know?" Tessa asked. Lumine's head snapped back into reality, back to Tessa staring at him with her glossy eyes, determined not to cry. Somewhere in his thoughts, he had been talking out loud. Lumine was momentarily uneasy about asking her question. "Sorry. I was thinking out loud." Lumine answered. As Tessa and Lumine made it towards the Inn, Lumine stopped at the doors. "I'm sorry that you went through that discussion with James while I was present. I ho-" Tessa cut Lumine off, holding her index finger on Lumine's lips. She gently kissed him on the right cheek. "Thank you for your company." she said. Lumine smirked, then dangled the keys to his room at Tessa. "If you need to change into something else, i'll give you time." Lumine said. Tessa grabbed the keys that Lumine was dangling with his EPG's. "Thanks." She said, turning around and walking through the framework of the door, inside the Inn. Lumine sighed as she walked out of his sight picture. "Gawd, she's [I]beautiful[/I]." He was glad he had controlled himself that long around her presence. Now the next challenge was to sleep in the same room with her. He longed for a woman... After waiting 15 minutes outside, Lumine turned and went into the Inn towards his room. It was late and he would need to be rested for the next day.

True, I was in band class and for a long time too (or so I thought). I played the trumpet for 3 years in high shool. Thought it could improve my 'kissing abilities' (No joke!) Okay, The person below me goes to church religiously...

[quote name='Zero']New acronym= TLAMENRKB[/quote] Okay... I do believe I can come up with another great acronym. To live agitates mostly everything noble regarding 'Kill Bill' *Tarintino rules by the way.* I love Kill Bill I and II, and I wish that they would've come out with a KB III, but I guess once you 'kill Bill', the sequels end huh? Oh well. Back to the game, let's see what acronym I can create... INFONAVIT (A very popular acronym from Mexico) *[B]To keep spam from occuring[/B], try and type why you came up with the acronym or why you picked it. I'm no moderator or anything, but I would like to keep this string going since I like playing the acronym game and all.

I'm honestly beginning the research of Kingdom Hearts after I beat KH 1 and KH 2. It takes up the majority of my time beside trying to post on OB (Otaku Boards). Right now i'm in the process of figuring out if KH (Both I and II) is better than FFVII or vice versa. I'm kinda torn, though. *It should be noted that i'm not trying to create a new string that takes away from the original question asked in this post. However, if anyone gives comments to my question in this string, let it be known that i'm not trying to take [B]taperson's[/B] glory by asking something new. [B]I was just answering his question.[/B]*

I know excatly what you're talking about: Sprint. It was the funniest (And stupidest) commercial made recently. For anyone who hasn't seen it, i'll tell you, but I don't know the commercial word for word. Guy 1: Says to guy 2 that his Sprint phone is cool. Guy 2: Talks about what his phone can do. Guy 1: Tries to top the Sprint holder with his phone's nifty gadgets. Guy 2: Tops Guy 1 Guy 1: Tops Guy 2 Guy 2: Says his Sprint phone has 'crime deterrent.' Guy 1: Asks what Crime Deterrent is. Guy 2: Tells Guy 1 to take his wallet. Guy 1: Tries to take Guy 2s wallet. Guy 2: Throws his Sprint phone at Guy 1s forehead, knocking him unconcious. * Guy 1 tries to get up from the fall @ the end of the commercial and Guy 2 throws the phone @ Guy 1s forehead again. Truly, truly, genius. :D And it still makes me laugh....

I just came to this conclusion today, but I simply, simply couldn't live without my wife. She is my world though we argue sometimes. Her and my daughter, Keyara, I couldn't live without. A distant second would be Otaku Boards! Without OB on the net, My wife would argue with me [I][B]all the time[/B][/I]! OB is an escape, no doubt about it! :D

If I had one super power, it would be to control the weather. I've always been a fan of Storm and I think to myself, "Self, weather manipulation is cool. You should have that power." Forget controlling lightning, or water by itself. I'll be able to do it all. The only super power that could stop me, however, would be time control. Wind, Water, Air, Lightning, all of those powers to tinker with. Muhhahahha!

"Hell's Haven Bar." Lumine said to himself. "Tessa's paradise." Lumine carefully looked around the bar one good time before he sat down in a booth. After he sat, he figured it would be a great time to truly 'see' the bar for what it was. As Lumine took a deep breath, he slowly took off the gloves he had worn for so long; his EPG's. As he took one of the prototype black gloves off. His image of the bar faded considerably. Lumine exhaled the breath he had took in before and began to take off the other glove. [I]There are advantages and drawbacks to everything[/I], he thought. As he took off his other glove, everything went black in his head. Nothing. Darkness and memories were the only things to constantly keep him company without the gloves on. But, Lumine rather explore new surroundings this way. With his sight picture gone, Lumine could no longer see, but his other 4 senses were heightened enormously. In a matter of seconds, Lumine could hear Tessa and the barkeeper talking quietly from 20 feet away, though he chose not to listen. His sense of smell had created a world of scents from vomit that was cleaned months ago to the numerous types of alchohol that laid on the bar shelves. The vodka in particular had caught his attention. Even his sense of touch was accelerated to where he could feel the smallest of rocks on the table, although it was cleaned yesterday from the smell of Pine-Sol and Bleach covering the other smells. [I]Yes, there were advantages and drawbacks...[/I] Lumine felt for the gloves he had once took off before standing up. As he put the EPG's in his left trench coat pocket, he grabbed his trusty 5 ft. black cane and walked to Tessa, who was laughing with the bartender. As Tessa turned to Lumine, she immediately noticed three things: He wasn't looking at where he was going, he had his cane out and gripped it as if it was everything to him, and his hands were exposed for the first time. Tessa sat, staring at Lumine, not knowing what question to ask first. The only thing she could mouth to Lumine was, "Is something wrong?" Lumine ignored the question, reaching in his trench coat and pulling out two circular steel plates, flatter than a belt buckle and with the area of a coaster for bar glasses. He lifted up his shoes and attached the plates in specially made grooves that held the plates in place. As he walked, the plates clicked on the ground, giving Lumine a sight only ears could use. As sounds from the shoes bounced off the bar area, the combined sounds bounced back to his ears, giving Lumine a 'sight', but on a much lower level than the EPG's. Lumine stood motionless, putting his hands on the bar tables and feeling the foundations with his bare hands. The coolness of the tables made Lumine smirk slightly. "Are you okay?!" Tessa asked again, irratated this time. Lumine snapped back into reality, turning to where he heard the voice of the female bounty hunter. "I'm sorry. Everything is new when I take off my gloves." "What do you mean, new? Where are your gloves?" "I put them away for the time being." "Why?" Tessa persisted. Lumine sighed, [I]Gawd, she's not going to give up until she knows.[/I] "They help me to 'see' when I have them on. Lumine gripped his black cane with his right hand until his hand turned whiter than usual from the loss of blood flow. Tessa sensed she was going to far with the questions and decided to change the subject... "James this is Lumine. Lumine, James. He is a great bartender and my number 1 sweetheart." James smiled at the compliment received by his only customer. Lumine extended his hand but was off by a foot and further left then he should have been. Tessa looked at Lumine, knowing that he wasn't pretending. She pulled his hand a little closer to her and pushed it to the right, meeting James' hand. "How r'ya today?" James asked, shaking Lumine's left hand. "Fine.. thank you." Lumine returned, pulling his hand back. He smelled of alchohol but duh, he worked in a bar. [I]You're soo smart, dumbass[/I], he thought to himself. He redirected his attention to Tessa who started to talk with Lumine more about the questions she had. She had found someone she thought was interesting and vice versa. Lumine didn't mind talking with her. He sat down on the stool right next to her. He hardly talked to anyone... And she was a breath of fresh air for him.

Something was wrong... As Tessa threw herself on Lumine trying to get inside of his room, he felt and heard the rapid beating of her heart; fear. As she entered his tidy room after inviting herself in, he smelled the perspiration on her face and body; also linked with fear. He also heard the slight squeakiness of her voice. Yep, Lumine figured that from the first few seconds Tessa talked to him, she was scared out of her mind. "Hey," Tessa greeted him, playfully forcing herself on him, hugging him around the neck. "Hi..." He mumbled in reply, immediately wondering why she was at his door, in near shock no less. "Keeping to yourself, huh?" Tessa asked, trying to control her emotions. "I guess." Lumine answered, already thinking of questions to ask in order to talk to her. "Hey, great. Can I crash here tonight?" Lumine froze, trying to regain control of the conversation, despite his sexual emotions flaring. "Yeah, sure." "So, hey. I didn't catch your name before." Tessa asked Lumine. "Oh. You can just call me Lumine." "Lue...man-aye?" Tessa mouthed. "Close enough." Lumine shrugged. "So what's your real name?" Tessa asked, beginning to sit on Lumine bed, staring at him while he stood. Lumine forgot that there was only one bed in the room. Lumine froze, afraid to answer the question. "He-llo..." Tessa said to Lumine, knowing that she had hit a sensitive nerve. Lumine refocused on Tessa, shaking off the fear he had just felt from Tessa asking him his real name. "Cat got ya tongue?" Tessa smiled. The fear had apparently left her, whatever it was. Lumine figured it was time to regain control of the conversation. "Omari Lumine." Lumine answered, staring Tessa in the face with his dull grey eyes. "But my friends call me Omar." "Well then, Om-" "You're not a friend of mine." Lumine said, serious. Tessa twisted her face at Lumine. He knew he had made a mistake, especially with someone he halfway liked. "Yet." Lumine finished. Tessa smiled at how he acted. [I]Good save.[/I] "So..." Lumine cleared his throat, "what's up?" "What do you mean?" "Why are you in my room?" Tessa thought for herself for a split second before answering. "Afraid of the dark." "But isn't Ashcraft -" "Like I said," Tessa repeated, fear returning. "I'm afraid of the dark." Lumine didn't know she meant that Ashcraft was [I]the dark.[/I] She quickly changed the subject... "So... what are the gloves for?" "Whaddya mean?" Lumine answered, making sure that the gloves were snug on his hands. "You haven't taken them off ever since we met." Lumine stared at the female bounty hunter before answering. "They're my lifeline to the world." "Really?" Tessa asked, prying. [I]This is going no where Lumine thought...[/I] Lumine grabbed his black trench coat and opened the door. He looked back at Tessa. "Let's take a walk." Lumine said. "We'll talk more while I enjoy the night sky... "Okay." Tessa agreed.

As Kyle Ashcraft began taking command about what room the hunters were resting in, Tessa Cross slipped her arm away from Lumine. Even though Lumine was dissapointed at the fact that her hand drifted from his, he had to remember that the mission came before anything else. But Tessa was very attractive to him... As the group followed Kyle to the inn with Lumine taking the rear, Ashcraft brought a round of drinks for them all. Instead, wanting to blend in with his surroundings, Lumine walked away from the group towards the bar and ordered their strongest bottle of liquor. Satisfied that all of the bounty hunters in the bar gave him a second look as if he were a regular joe, he took two swigs of his bottle while keeping his pale eyes on Tessa eyeing her cranberry vodka, deciding whether to drink it or not. As she looked up towards Lumine, he quickly averted his eyes, a tell-tell sign that he liked her. However, Lumine couldn't figure out WHY she was so pretty to him, [I]just another bounty hunter[/I], he thought. Lumine turned around towards the bartender, annoyed by the primal feelings he felt for another hunter, and talked to him in his best civilian voice. "Hey, bartender." The bartender, looking pestered, turned towards the man who sat 6 feet away from him and stared at him as if he shouldn't be here. From the pink of his eyes and the baginess of his lids, Lumine thought, he seriously needed sleep. "Is this the best bar in this area, because this place is PACKED! I'm gonna have'ta come here more often and with more money." Lumine was causing a bit of a scene, but it was okay ,he thought, because the other hunters were believeing his act by giving him annoying stares as if saying [I]get the hell out[/I]. "I... don't think you're in the right spot." The bartender said confused. "Didn't I just serve you a bottle?" "Yep, and i'm gonna need another bottle of what you just served me earlier if you wanna keep me --" " Sir," The bartender said in a meaniful tone, cutting Lumine off. "You 're gonna have to leave. This bar is for VIP members only today." "And i'm paying you top dollar for these bottles!" Lumine said raising his voice. "Now if giving you $80 for a bottle of liquor isn't VIP enough, then I --" Before Lumine could finish his sentence, he felt a heavy hand fall on his shoulder, gripping him in a controlling manner. Lumine, instead of grabbing his Desert Eagle, decided it was best by playing his character and staying two steps ahead of the competition. As Lumine turned around, he saw a gigantic man looking down upon Lumine from the barstool. The man in his late 30's was definitely a bounty hunter playing bodygaurd for the night, looking unconcerned with the civilian he had put his hand upon. The man looked at the bartender with his cement look, meaning buisness. "Is there a problem, sir?" "Not anymore," the bartender said, smiling. He looked at Lumine with the same grin. "This gentleman was just leaving." Before Lumine could mouth his next sentence,a crashing noise filled the bar. Lumine, flipping his head automatically in the direction of the accelerated commotion, soon saw shooting and blood. Keeping seated, Lumine heard two bullets fly past him as the bartender and the bodygaurd ducked quickly to the ground. Lumine looked at the bodyguard who had hit the ground and covered his head. He smiled, knowing that this was the same person who tried to invoke fear in him just 15 secoonds ago by his massive size and deep voice. As Lumine looked back into the fray of the action, he double-checked his EPG's, making sure that the gloves were firmly attached to his hands: his lifeline of sight, unbeknownst to everyone else. As Lumine looked up, he saw the Crimson Slayer move like a flash of lightning and hold his blade on Fang's neck, immediately followed by Tessa holding her weapon to the Slayer's temple. [I]Invisibility is better than exposure[/I], Lumine thought... Lumine dug in his pocket and dug out a small tracer, hardly visible to one not looking for it. Flicking his hand in a natural manner, Lumine threw the tracer in a half-moon arc, landing on the Slayer's cloak 10 feet away. The tracer attached himself automatically. "Perfect." Lumine said under his breath, slowly walking away from the bar into the main part of the inn where their rooms awaited. After seperating himself from the commotion on the other side of the wall, Lumine put his back against it and dug into his other pocket, pulling out a transmitter, capable of tracking the unique signiture of his own tracers. As Lumine turned the transmitter on, his set the device to track his tracers currently in use. After double-checking the transmitter with widened eyes, he slowly moved his hand to his back pocket, afraid of what he would find. Moving his hand back towards his line of sight, Lumine looked at a transmitter that was attached to his buttocks, unbeknownst even to him. As Lumine turned the tracer off, the beeping that the transmitter made ceased and the dot on the transmitter showing the only tracer that was activated dissapeared off the screen, Lumine's jaw automatically dropped. [I]Is this the same tracer?![/I] Lumine turned the corner, drawing his Desert Eagles, aiming for the Slayer that had now threw Fang onto Tessa, moving with lightning speed, almost uncanny speed. Lumine shot multiple rounds at the Slayer, missing his target despite his pinpoint accuracy. As Lumine reloaded, the Slayer vanished from his sight, minus the tracer. Lumine kept his weapons drawn, horizontally now, scanning his perimeter before letting down his guard. As he looked at Tessa who had now looked at Lumine's apperance and stance, caught off guard thinking he was blind before taking off after the Slayer, Lumine mumbled under his breath knowing that this action would change his apperance from here on out. "Shit." As Lumine pit his weapons away, he looked for his walking cane, still by the seat he had once occupied before the gun fight. The bodyguard looked at Lumine with widened eyes, wondering if he was a blind civilian or a blind bounty hunter. Lumine looked at the bodyguard, already knowing what he was thinking. He kicked the bodyguard in the jaw with his left brown boot, knocking the mammoth unconcious. Lumine was angry that he didn't catch the Slayer. "I'm a blind bounty hunter." Lumine said to the unconcious heap of flesh, picking up his cane before walking off. ------------------------------------------------------ OOC: Sorry guys, I'm trying to keep up but I had to move my house and had to disconnect my CPU. I'm using my dad's right now and I honestly don't know when i'm going to be around another one. I am setting my CPU up now though, so bear w/ me.

Orange bodies surrounded by red and yellow shades left streaks of their colors behind while they moved as if the bodies were creating multiple rainbows for the world to see. Body heat. They continuously gathered towards a pale wall that looked off-painted and as they gathered, their Orange bodies melded into an enormous mass of red that hurt Omar Lumine's brain. [I]Okay[/I], he thought. [I]That's enough of the [B]thermal sight[/B][/I]. He tuned the freq. of his EPG's to normal view. By turning a small dial on his gloves, his sight picture also changed, seeing a world that he thought he used to see in dreams, seeing the world as he once saw, long before his brown eyes had given up on him, turning the dull grey they have from years of inability. Lumine looked at the white clouds and voiced a silent prayer in his head. "I love these EPG's" He said silently to himself. As he broke his focus from the clouds, Lumine realized the mission that 'The Organization' had briefed him on. "Talk to bounty hunters, they will brief you on your next mission." He repeated to himself. He would've rather bit his own tounge off if his bosses knew how he felt about them. He hardly talked to bounty hunters and for good reason, but that was another story he chose not to think about if he could help it. As he walked to the center of men and women crowded around the wall he smelled random kinds of cigerette smoke all jumbled into a smell that assulted Lumine's nostrils. He ignored the horrible smell and continued pushing past hunters from his left, right, and front. As he made it to the wall, another hunter blocked his view of the paper he wanted to see. Obviously the man wasn't moving without a fight and Lumine wondered how new these punks kept getting each year. "You're not coming any closer to this wall here see. I'm Orbit the Invincible and i'm collecting this here bounty. You got objections to that chicken wuss?" He was confident but he needed to work on talking to adults. However, Lumine baited, ignoring the impudent threat staring at him. "What bounty?" "Don't play coy with me, shit-face. You wanted a second-look at the amount didn't ya?" "What are you talking about?" Lumine was getting annoyed now by the kid. Everyone else crowded around them was too. "Don't lie to me! You want the mon-" Lumine grabbed the kid by the scruff of his neck and banged his head into the wall three consecutive times before letting him fall to the ground from unconciousness. "Get lost kid, i'm busy." As the other hunters hog-tied the snot-nosed punk and beat the shite out of him, Lumine looked at the paper and dropped a shade of color. His grey eyes widened as big as saucers. "Wha..." he let his jaw drop for an instant before composing himselfand walking away from the paper to think straight. What concerned him about the paper wasn't the money, but the bounty. Crimson Slayer. The money offered was no amount to death and Lumine realized that a long time ago. "Crimson Slayer." He let the name escape from his lips as if he shouldn't say it aloud. "He is death incarnate himself. Everyone knows that, so why even try. " Lumine sat on the ground mesmerized at memories swooshing back through his head at speeds unheard of. "He killed my entire family. Death." As Lumine snapped out of his daze, he realized that he might actually need friends to help him. (And to stop daydreaming so much.) He hated missions he didn't think he could complete, but his bosses were counting on him as he counted on them before they gave him sight. He figured it would be best to talk to a couple of hunters at the most. He felt an uncontrollable rage deep inside himself stir. "I hate this. It feels wrong." Then he thought for a second about the situation. About his family. "But I need to kill the Slayer." So Lumine tried to manage talking to other hunters about the bounties on the papers. --------------------------------------------------- Hope that's good. I want the story as interesting as possible to keep me on my toes!

[quote name='Cat14']I have had simlier problems when I switched to Pagan religion. I rarely let people know my religion because of its rep. For example when people hear Pagan they think witch, this is true to a certain degree but they think of flying brooms and evil spells. This is mostly false there is no flying brooms but I will not go say there are no evil spells. I for one do notuse gray ro black because it will come back and bit you in the a** if you do. White as most people think of healing and helping people. The white witch is no commonly seen when people hear Pagan, as I just explained. I'm very glad that people here haven't bad mounth me because of my religion. [/quote] I had a situation like yours when I moved into a trailer with my Pagan battle buddy in LSA Anaconda, Iraq. I never forced my Christian religion on him because I believed that 1. Everyone was entitled to believe what they want to. 2. Just because he was different wasn't going to stop me from being friends with him. Anyway, the small point i'm making is that if a person is gay, then let that person travel their own path. You don't see gay people trying to force Christians to be gay do you? Everyone is entitled to walk their own path of life. And for the God fearing people: Gay people, like everyone else, have to find "God" on their own. I say "God" like that because i'm saying that they must go through life without people trying to force the bible's teachings down their throats. Gays and gay marriages, like it or not, have become integrated into America and will be here for a VERY long time. In short, evolution is constant.
