Micah The Mountain Origins: The Complete Saga

Micah The Mountain Origins
The Complete Saga
Chapter I


In the beginning there was the creation of the universe and with it was the big bang. All types of colours and elements were formed at that split second in time. Along with the formation of the universe came the formation of one of the most unique creations known to man, The Celestial Mustache. Form out the elements of light, beauty, and strength, came this mustache from the clouds of explosions in the sky and with it, it was good. Knowledge of this mustache was passed down through the ages making the dream of man to one day explore the stars and find it. But one day there was a man named Xenu who possessed an evil power and lust to control the universe, and he did. One day finding the mustache, he surgically attached it to his face giving himself the ultimate power. In his Galactic Confederacy he made it a decree to have all mustaches for women and men, the women would have to take anabolic steroids to increase their testosterone, and children had ones drawn in with hand at a young age and sometimes leading to brain damage from the high content of chemicals emitted from markers. With over population and disarray amongst the stars, the universe seemed like a dark and scary place until someone decided to step up and fight against Xenu.


Scholars said that a great battle ensued and after a Douglas DC-8 crashed into Xenu's spaceship, he was destroyed. The remaining parts of his body and hairs from his ultimate mustache were scattered all across the universe to make sure that he would never regain power again. Each part was specifically put in a solar system, and for Earth's disposal was the mustache. The impact of Xenu's mustache hair being spread across the Earth caused a mass eruption of various volcanos releasing toxic gases and thetans into the atmosphere causing many species, including the dinosaurs, to become extinct paving the way for the future of the humans.


To prevent the Earth from being destroyed again, there was a drastic measure to be take place to stop the mountains from once again erupting and destroying the Earth. The keepers of peace went around to the mountains sprinkling the elements of earth, water, and spirit to keep the mountains at ease and limit the growth of their mustaches. All was going fine until there was one special mustache that wouldn't stop growing.

Over the course of a million years, one mountain began to form in a way that no one else would expect it to. Growing its own eyes, hands, mouth, and mustache, it was as if this mountain was coming alive.
At the Scientology headquarters in Los Angeles, California one night, L. Ron Hubbard came to John Travota in his sleep and told him. "Hello John, it appears the mountain from Xenu's stash keeps on growing and growing, if we don't take action, his mustache will become so big it will flood the entire earth!"
Waking up from his dream, John Travolta went out to the mountain range where the mountain was and ordered that it must be transfered in a confined space where they can observe it and do experiments.
"We shall call it project Micah, and hey, I'm John Travolta!" said John Travolta.
With the money that he made from the movie Hairspray, he managed to use those funds to transport such a large object to a top secret lavatory located in Salt Lake city. There, Micah was fast asleep, unaware of his own existence and mustache.

Chapter II



Locked away in his lavatory in the beautiful city of Salt Lake City, Micah the Mountain was locked in a dream world of confusion and mind melting bliss. Created by the funds of BYU and John Travolta's salary off of Hairspray, they made sure that the power of Xeno's celestial mustache would not come back into power.

"We must not let Micah awake!" said John Travolta with confidence, "We must feed him the crystals from Colombia which will give him the magic to enhance his brain waves and motor skill functions!"

Listening to what the interns from BYU were told, they created a special machine, called the Mulch Machine, that was able to keep Micah in a cryostasis long enough to have them think what they could do with him. The parts were simple for the machine, basically they took a couple of chapters from the Book of Mormon, diaries of Tom Cruise, and even mustache hairs from Burt Reynolds!

Inside Micah's mind was making him be fed nothing but lies and security tapes from Rotten Robbies gas store. Day by day, his mind got weaker and slowly but surely, hairs from his mustache were falling off. Just what John Travolta was planning.

Even though when all hope was lost and Micah's fate was almost sure of death, his mustache started to flicker sending messages into his brain of hope and prosperity. Xenu's mustache was indeed celestial and through that, it was showing Micah what truely exists out in the world today. All types of images were going through Micah's mind, especially ones of Mountain Babes who were in his dreams screaming, "Como Estan Micah!" and that caused him to become excited and finally become aware of his own existence.

Micah awoke, and this time, for the first time, the world was his.





Wondering off using the science of tectonic plates, Micah slivered through this way in the lavatory.
"Woah!" said Micah, "Who am I and what is this sweet lining of hair I have on my upper lip?"
Still not fully aware of the gracefulness of Xenu's mustache and the potential of getting Mountain Babes he had, Micah simply explored the area.
Moving up to the science room, Micah discovered this long piece of silver metal laying on the ground that said the words, MICAH on it.
"Hey that name sounds familiar, perhaps if I move myself onto it then I could remember what that word means." said Micah.
Using the glory of tectonic plates, Micah inched onto the platform only to instantly realize that this magical silver surfboard gave him powers beyond his imagination. Like as if he experienced millions of years in evolution, Micah grew trees out of his side which were like movable arms to him and his mustache began to glow.
"Micah." said Micah, "Ah yes, that is my name! Cooooool. Now since I have this wonderful hovercraft I wonder what I am going to do with it."
Again, not realizing what he was doing, his hovercraft started to malfunction and as he was testing it out, he accidentally destroyed the Mulch machine. Out from the security chamber, the Scientology machines were unable to stop Micah as he broke out of the complex and into the city streets destroying half of the BYU campus.



Wondering out of the John Travolta Micah Complex, the mystical mountain used his hovering platform and ventured off finally realizing the world that existed in front of him. Now understanding how to control his machine, the possibilities were endless for him.
"Wow!" said Micah with his tree hands waving high in the air, "There are so many fun things to see, I cannot believe it, Xenu was right when he chose this earth as his favorite earth because it is the only earth called Earth!"
On his travels, Micah visited the things that were implated inside his mind from the Mulch Machine such as the aurora borealis, the Great Wall of China, pyramids, the Loch Ness Monster, and even pizza!
"Oh geez! These Pyramids must be my brothers, except they don't have mustaches, and oh dear, the pizza looks like my sister, except more aerodynamic. Hmmmm..."
Having a wonderful time exploring the world, Micah was excited to go to the next destination.
"I wonder how my brother Everest is doing... I bet he must be lonely hanging out all the way up there!"

Chapter III



After a long time traveling on his hover craft, Micah finally made it to his brother, Everest which lay deep in the Himalayas. Micah's brother, Everest was known to be a very knowledgeable guy who many mountains went to seek guidance and... compassion.

Taking a stroll through Nepal, Micah finally reached his brother where he groomed his mustache just so he would look appropriate for the meeting of the two. At his amazement, he was shocked on how big Everest grew over the last couple billions of years.

"Oh dear Everest!" said Micah, "It is I, Micah visiting you since we haven't see each other in lifetimes!"

Looking through his purple shades, Everest said, "Micah! How long has it been? I was hoping that the glory of tectonic plates would bring our souls once again in the future, but I have waited too long for this glorious moment, how art thou brother?"

Noticing all the mountanist babes on Everest, Micah looked enthralled on how he was able to do such a thing.

"I thought you were getting lonely up here brother, but it seems like you are quite busy!" said Micah.

Everest smiled and looked back at Micah, "Oh yes indeed, many humans come to visit me every year and climb on top of my head to look at the world below. A very weird concept, but it sure attracts the mountain babes as you see they are just clinging on to me. It is hard being so big, right now I have the Prime Minister of Russia, Vladamir Putin, and his team climbing me right now. Do you want to say high to Putin?"

Micah nodded his head in agreement.

"Hello Micah!" said Vladimir Putin, "Oh wow that is a glorious mustache you got there, I wish I could grow one like that!"

Dazed and confused, Micah wondered off into the sky and waved his brother goodbye because he was just too excited to see him he really didn't know what to do!


Accidentally going too far off into the distance, Micah somehow ended up in the South Pacific where he landed on volcano island. The creation of Volcano Island was a McDonald's where they forward calls from drive through just so they can save a pretty penny but exploit their workers in third world countries.

The Island started to become very mad and eventually Volcano Island turned into, you guess it, volcanoes! OH NO MICAH! Trying to escape as fast as he could, he managed to get out of the bigger part of the volcano explosions and happened to run across a hiker who was about be engulfed by one of the lava mouths.

"Help me oh mustache wonder!" yelled the hiker, "I am about to be turned into a McChile!"

Without any hesitation, Micah used his high tech hovercraft and swooped down and saved the hiker from instant McDeath.


Picking up the hiker, Micah began to notice that he was actually a nice guy, not like the ones who try to make you sign those scary petitions or those type of things.

"Hello there Mr. Mustache!" said the Hiker all friendly and warm.

"Don't call me Mustache, Micah is good." said Micah to the friendly and warm Hiker.

"You saved my life, and with that I owe you. As a gift, I shall share with you one of my secrets, the meaning of life." said the hiker.

Micah smiled and let the hiker continue on hoping that he wasn't setting him up to sign a petition.

"Well you see Micah, life has many wonders, just like the board game, we just have to play it one step at a time. I have to let you know, with those good looks that you possess and that thick mustache, I'll be honest, you can probably pick up any babes you want to with that face of hair."

"Like my brother Everest?"

"No." demanded the Hiker, "Even better, John Travolta has nothing on you, neither does Tom Cruise, we can make a great team you know! Just let me show you the hopes and in no time you will be reproducing with mountains left and right to make hills and knolls!"

As the sun was beginning to set, Micah smiled back at the Hiker. Sitting down on one of Micah's rocks, the Hiker sang a song about Mountain Babes and they floated off into the next day.

Chapter IV

Deep inside the Scientology Lavatory located in Los Angeles, John Travolta, using his pay from the movie Hairspray, was developing the latest technology to take down the floating mystical mustached mountain named Micah.

On screen with the Bluetooth Republicans (BTR), BYU, and the Stevia Factory, John Travolta discussed his latest plan. "You see here my friends, we have the technology, all we need now is to apply it. You see... I have this high tech transmitter device that will take down the mustached mountain and we can use his stash hairs to once again reclaim Hollywood!"

The only thing was that John Travolta was lying, he was actually draining BYU's own funds to simply destroy it and reclaim Utah for the name of Scientology. From using his bluetooh, John was able to contact multiple people at once without touching a single button on his phone. Just like a paranoid android, he sat and laughed for the possible outcome.

Watching on the television screen that was bought by Bluetooth, he observed Micah's hovercraft going haywire and causing a handful of technical malfunctions. There was nothing anybody could do at this point but watch Micah float through the city of Salt Lake City.

Floating graciously through Salt Lake city, Micah began to notice that sparks began to accidentally out of his hover craft causing a couple of fires that he did not intend to do.

"Holy frog hairs!" exclaimed Micah with distress, "What is happening to my hovercraft? It is like I just ate a bunch of McDonalds McSkillet McSandwiches, and now my body is seeking revenge on my by wanting to poop it all out in the form of lighting bolts!"

"I think that is not the point." said the hiker, "My scanner detects that this hovercraft is operated by bluetooth technology and it seems like someone activated the malfunctioning button."

"Why is there a malfunctioning button?" asked Micah as he licked his Mustache.

The Hiker climbed down and took a piece of celery that Micah was so effortlessly trying to pick out of his mustache, "Don't ask me, I don't speak Spanish."

Slowly over the city, the two watched in horror, or most likely confusion as Salt Lake City was being destroyed by Micah's malfunctioning hovercraft.


After a couple of hours of pure mayhem and destruction on Micah's part, the Air Force finally came because they actually found out it was somewhat of national security to stop Salt Lake City from being burned down.

Shooting rockets, missiles, and rocket propelled grenades, Micah was staring to become confused why they were shooting at him. Luckily for Micah and the hiker, there was a protective plasmic shield that were protecting the two thanks to the gloriousness of Bluetooth technology.

"I don't understand why they're shooting at us?" asked Micah, "This really makes my mustache tingle, and I don't like the feeling of it.

The hiker tried to throw a McSkillet sandwiches at one of the aircraft fighters and missed, "Do you know what Micah, I think it is because we accidentally destroyed this city called, Salt Lake City. I don't get what the big deal is but they seem to be having one."

Dodging through city streets and buildings, Micah steered his hovercraft with great precision as he managed to avoid destruction. Becoming really sad and confused, Micah only had one choice, to flee to the forest. As much Micah is a mountain of peace and happiness, it began to rain in Salt Lake City that day, not by the water of the sky, but by Micah's own tears.

After a long day of misunderstanding and confusing story lines, the hiker and Micah fled into the wilderness hoping that they would not be found for a very long time...

Chapter V

There, deep inside the Utah forest, our hero, Micah, the mustached mountain, laid restless and defeated as he began to indulge in toxic mushrooms in hopes to get rid of his depression knowing that the entire world at the time hated him. High out of his mind, Micah lost the strength from his mustache to keep himself standing but turned into a blob of worthless sand as he mumbled, "Only my mustache can save this world and I cannot save myself. At least there are many pretty colours everywhere here."

"What are you doing Micah!" yelled the hiker as he was floating on Micah's hovercraft, "You cannot just sit around getting high all time time, don't you see the sun, don't you see how high he is in the sky?"
"Yeah so?" said Micah as he coughed out a mushroom, "The sun is 'chill' he provides me heat grow mushrooms."
"You don't get the point, so what if you are indulging in mushrooms, that doesn't mean you should give up."
The conversation went back and forth for a good thirty minutes until the hiker gave up and ran out of options, except for one...

The hiker began burning down the forest in complete happiness knowing that Micah would have to be forced to escape because he himself did not want to turn into molten lava.

"I don't want to turn into molten lava." said Micah as his mushrooms began to burn off his peak giving him the rationality to think clearly.
Watching the forest burn down, the hiker had a sense of joy to him as he kept on laughing knowing that Micah's binging on shrooms were soon going to end.

The forest rangers came and only saw a mustache in the distance and didn't know what or how to react to the fires, to the forest rangers ran into the fire only to burn themselves alive.

Micah used the glory of tectonic plates and moved over to the hovercraft where he climbed aboard and the two floated off into the distance.

Reflecting on his own life, Micah began to realize that there were so many great things in life. Thinking on how he was created and the life he has lived, Micah started to think about blessings in his life such as his golden mustache, the random hiker, and John Travolta's movies.

"You see Micah, you don't have to indulge on shrooms to enjoy life, you see that there are so many great things out there." said the Hiker.

Licking his Mustache, Micah looked up at the hiker with a smile and began naming off some of the great things in life that he really appreciates. "Yeah, you're absolutely right about everything! China, robots, communism, homeless people, and globalization, there are so many beautiful things we take advantage of until we truly realize that they are gone. From this moment on, I will dedicate my mustache to saving the world!"

"Saving the world?" said the hiker.
"Aye, my friend, saving the world!" said micah
Not questioning what he just said, the hiker just assumed Micah was high again and they rode off into the distance wondering what was exactly going on between each other.

Chapter VI

In an attempt to get himself off of substance abuse such as mushrooms and inhalant chemicals, Micah started to do civil work for the country to help out his own people.
"I have a mustache, a hovercraft, and a random hiker on me. I wonder what would be best suitable for me to help out this world?" said Micah as he was floating around thinking what he could do.
Looking into his arms, he notice that there were hundreds of cats meowing at him.
"Hmmm..." said Micah, "I have never noticed all these cats before, I bet they sure miss their home."
Taking each cat one by one home, Micah did his civil duties and he still wondered what else he could do.
The hiker suggested to Micah, "I hear Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is speaking in this area called Talega located in San Clemente, perhaps we should go give her a visit and maybe she could help out on this quest to saving the world."
"Ok." Micah said.
Flying over to Talega, Micah went at mach speed until he realized that he couldn't slow down at all. If he was going to keep going at this speed than he might actually destroy some houses with all the energy that was coming out of his hovercraft.
"Oh no! We're going to crash!" yelled the hiker.
"Not again!" Micah said.
Yes, it was true, Micah realized that he couldn't slow down the hovercraft in time ending up him accidentally burning Talega to the ground. They couldn't help but scream watching many people explode from the fiery flames.
Micah and the Hiker once again retreated into the wilderness because they were shocked what exactly happened. One morning while the Hiker went on a hike, he couldn't help but notice the cover of the newspaper...

Talega Destroyed by Micah: Declared National Heroes!

"How is it that we accidentally ended Sarah Palin's campaign as vice president and we are declared national heroes?" asked Micah while he was licking his mustache.
"Dunno, who cares really." said the hiker, "But hey, it looks like we are invited to some party over in Moscow."
Micah shook his tree hands and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go to Moscow!"


Micah and the Hiker floated into Moscow where they landed in the middle of Red Square only to be greeted by thundering applause and cheerful joys.
"Wow Micah!" said the Hiker as he patted Micah's snow cap, "They love us! They really love us!"
"Yes we do Micah!" said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. "You have done this world a great service and prolonged the human race by at least another 4 years. We didn't need another leader who likes to kill wild animals for fun, that's my job."
Not really understanding what they were referring too, Micah and the Hiker shook their heads and said, "Cool!"
With many Mission Accomplished banners all over Moscow, Micah and the Hiker really felt special that day knowing that they changed the world in somewhat of a good way.

All of the world was filled in joy, except for one man... John Travolta.
At the Scientology HQ in Los Angeles, he walked back and forth in his office looking at the various blockbuster hits he has recently been in the last 10 years.
"This is not right, this is just not right." said John Travolta, "It is I who was created Micah, I should be the one winning the prize of coolest guy on earth, not some stupid floating mountain with a mustache. This all just doesn't make sense to me!"
In his office, John Travolta received a call, it was Tom Cruise.
Tom spoke into the phone, "John, I watched the news. All I need to know is, if everything going according to plan?"
John Travolta said, "Yes Tom, everything is going the way it should be."
"Is she ready?" said Tom Cruise.
Not responding, John Travolta hung up the phone and left the room, walking down the hallway, he glanced into the laboratory where there was this skyscraper looking object with the words S.A.L.L.Y on it.
"Soon Micah." said John Travolta, "I know your weakness...."

After a long day, Micah and the Hiker float off into the sunset to once again start a new adventure.

The End...?

The Alchemy Index Volume I: Fire - Backdraft

The Alchemy Index Volume I: Fire

Backdraft


(Click to make me larger)



Leave me here and lock the door;
latch the windows, lose the key.
But you'll be back some day.
What else then is TRUE LOVE for,
if not to starve and wait for spring?
So I'll just sit and wait.

Oh, swing the door wide open;
show me your jaded eyes.
I will turn them red,
drunk with vivid flame.
You will see again,
and you will learn your real name and speak it.

Leave me with no air to breathe;
leave me here to die alone.
But I won't suffocate.
I'll have everything I need,
when you forget and come back home;
so I'll just sit and wait.

When your whole world turns to fire.

The Alchemy Index Volume I: Fire - The Messenger

The Alchemy Index Volume I: Fire

The Messenger


(Click to make me larger)




Mark me with fear and trembling;
send someone else instead.
I know my world is ending; I can't repay my debt.
How can I carry such a heavy burden?
How can I move when I am paralyzed?
I see a fire behind a heavy curtain.
I lean in closer and I close my eyes
and kiss the coals;
breathe in smoke,
and I say, "HERE I AM, SEND ME."
It lifts my soul;
I'm free and so unafraid.
Mark me with fire and send me among the living dead.
They cannot comprehend me;
I watch the sickness spread.
How can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?
How can they see me when they close their eyes?
Still they can tell that I'm an easy target;
a wooden saw is quite a way to die.

Tell me are you free
Tell me are you free
In word or thought or deed
Tell me are you free
While the gallows stand

And bullets lance the bravest lungs
We fold our hands and hold our tongues

Tell me are you free
When the fear falls on you

Tell me are you free
Tell me are you free
In word or thought or deed
Tell me are you free
While the gallows stand

And bullets lance the bravest lungs
Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue

Or let the flames lick at my feet
Or breathe in fire and know I'm free
Flames will rise and devour me
Oh, to breathe in fire and know I'm free

Know I'm free!

Retro Jon-o : DWDP Episodes 21 - 23

Retro Jon-o

Down With Dirty Pizza (2003)
Celebrating 5 years of clean pizza!

Episode XXI: Saving Ryan's Pizza



Bang, boom, doom! Yes that is me on the front line saving the lives of others as me and my rag tag team deliver the pizza to Private Ryan. There I went back into time in the Delorean (my dad designed the real model). Thanks to Doc Brown it was really easy to get back in time. So here's the story when I went to WWII... It was a most dangerous attempt because we had to get Ryan's pizza before it became dirty, and we surely don't want that to happen, do we? Well this how it all went down, unit after unit of dirty pizza went down after we destroyed them, it was a horrible sight and time was running out, as if it was always running out. As we blasting through the death jungle, the weirdest thing happened. We came across Mr. Ohnstad, I have no clue why or how but he was there eating pizza, but we had no time to stop, Ryan's pizza must be saved! Too bad the Terminator didn't want to do this job, too bad he's an emo, self-centered cry baby, who every time we save the day or almost save the day, he download his emo chip, and away he goes. Crying, crying, and listing to emotional music, such as Cutting Crew and other sad stuff. If you're going to ask, yes we saw Hitler, and we didn't kill him, the dirty pizza did, that's the true story about World War II, the dirty pizza killed Hitler, and during that time Hitler gave birth to Lizzie Mcguire, then Lizzie Mcguire throttled herself into the future... But yeah... Hmm... Well if you're going to ask another question, yes we happened to deliver the pizza to Ryan and he was all happy because the war in Europe was now over and he could go home back to the pizza parlor he worked in, with the all-mighty great Poop! Adios!

Episode XXII: The Scorpion Pizza


I believe today was a hard day at work for many reasons...
1: I got sent farther back into time.
2: Lizzie
Mcguire is on a rampage.
3: Pizzas back then were like pitas
4: Why was Mr.
Ohnstad there during WWII?
5: I forget...
6: The Great Poop smells when he was a young lad.

Well yes the
Delorean did break when I attempted to go back into the future, well kind of, I accidentally put 2003 BC instead of AD and I was too lazy to set it back into hyper tron with the Flux Capacitor... But yeah, I bet you don't know what that is but neither do I. Well I ended up in Egypt where people eat pizzas out of pitas, but oh well, I'm cool with that. When I was telling people DWDP, I met this guy named the Scorpion Pizza. He's this guy who's against dirty pitas (cause pizzas were pita type food back then). He was a guy who loved to go around killing the Dirty Pita Police, and that seems a little bit similar to my job... Well he was known for clean pitas and he also chanted DWDP, which was in the same direction as my slogan goes. I believe this man was the creator of the DWDP back in the day. The guy who I'm with is and always be the real, original, Down With Dirty Pizza master, besides me... Well I'm going to hop back into the Delorean to see if I can make it back home, and if I don't I guess this web page will be at least 4000 years when i get home. Enjoy!
PS: DOWN WITH DIRTY PIZZA!!!

Episode XXIII: Willy Wonka and the Pizza Factory

Yikes! Once again... Once again... The Delorean sent me into the 70's where I portrayed in Ronald Dahl's new movie, Willy Wonka and the Pizza Factory. All I knew is that this movie was educational but it sucked. It was about Charlie and his grandpa getting into dirty pizza and overdosing on it with their friends then all of a sudden they wake up at a Clean Pizza Re-hab center (Pizza Factory). I was the rehab instructor because I pushed around former/current dirty pizza addicts, and trust me, while filming the movie, they were real people... Yuk, who would do something like that? Well Willy Wonka showed the kids and Charlie around the factory, showing off his Umpa Loompas, and his pattened formula, The Everlasting Pizza. Wow what a good invention to have. That sure beats his old crappy Chocolate Factory. But sadly Charlie and his Grandpa actually die in this movie, once again the two drink the bubbly and they floated up once again, but this time I made the roof like a fan that pushes up from the bottom and sucks you up from the top, so they paid the price for drinking the bubbly because that's bad for you, sequels can be destructive, and this time i proved them right. Well I wont give away the ending to this movie, but I have to give you a hint, it has to do something with Mr. Ohnstad and hints on his evolution to Mr. Badstad. Oh wait... This movie is at least 30 years old by now... Hmm.... Oh well back to the future!!!

Micah the Mountain Origins: Chapter VI

Micah the Mountain Origins
Chapter VI

In an attempt to get himself off of substance abuse such as mushrooms and inhalant chemicals, Micah started to do civil work for the country to help out his own people.
"I have a mustache, a hovercraft, and a random hiker on me. I wonder what would be best suitable for me to help out this world?" said Micah as he was floating around thinking what he could do.
Looking into his arms, he notice that there were hundreds of cats meowing at him.

Flying over to Talega, Micah went at mach speed until he realized that he couldn't slow down at all. If he was going to keep going at this speed than he might actually destroy some houses with all the energy that was coming out of his hovercraft.
"Oh no! We're going to crash!" yelled the hiker.
"Not again!" Micah said.
Yes, it was true, Micah realized that he couldn't slow down the hovercraft in time ending up him accidentally burning Talega to the ground. They couldn't help but scream watching many people explode from the fiery flames.
Micah and the Hiker once again retreated into the wilderness because they were shocked what exactly happened. One morning while the Hiker went on a hike, he couldn't help but notice the cover of the newspaper...

Talega Destroyed by Micah: Declared National Heroes!

"How is it that we accidentally ended Sarah Palin's campaign as vice president and we are declared national heroes?" asked Micah while he was licking his mustache.
"Dunno, who cares really." said the hiker, "But hey, it looks like we are invited to some party over in Moscow."
Micah shook his tree hands and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go to Moscow!"


Micah and the Hiker floated into Moscow where they landed in the middle of Red Square only to be greeted by thundering applause and cheerful joys.
"Wow Micah!" said the Hiker as he patted Micah's snow cap, "They love us! They really love us!"
"Yes we do Micah!" said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. "You have done this world a great service and prolonged the human race by at least another 4 years. We didn't need another leader who likes to kill wild animals for fun, that's my job."
Not really understanding what they were referring too, Micah and the Hiker shook their heads and said, "Cool!"
With many Mission Accomplished banners all over Moscow, Micah and the Hiker really felt special that day knowing that they changed the world in somewhat of a good way.

All of the world was filled in joy, except for one man... John Travolta.
At the Scientology HQ in Los Angeles, he walked back and forth in his office looking at the various blockbuster hits he has recently been in the last 10 years.
"This is not right, this is just not right." said John Travolta, "It is I who was created Micah, I should be the one winning the prize of coolest guy on earth, not some stupid floating mountain with a mustache. This all just doesn't make sense to me!"
In his office, John Travolta received a call, it was Tom Cruise.
Tom spoke into the phone, "John, I watched the news. All I need to know is, if everything going according to plan?"
John Travolta said, "Yes Tom, everything is going the way it should be."
"Is she ready?" said Tom Cruise.
Not responding, John Travolta hung up the phone and left the room, walking down the hallway, he glanced into the laboratory where there was this skyscraper looking object with the words S.A.L.L.Y on it.
"Soon Micah." said John Travolta, "I know your weakness...."

After a long day, Micah and the Hiker float off into the sunset to once again start a new adventure.

The End...?

Eighteen seconds before sunrise

Eighteen Seconds Before Sunrise



I was strolling down the pier the other morning walking towards the end with dawn slowly approaching. The topic that we were talking about was on how our faith in God was and for some reason I began to breakdown in sadness. Looking over the railing into the ocean, I turned and said to my friend, "I don't know why but I have been the farthest from God I have ever been in my life. 22 years old now and it seems that for the longest time my prayers have never been answered, again I go unnoticed it seems."
Going into deeper detail by exactly what I meant which I won't disclose, he responded, "You have to look closer at the situation, God has answered your prayers all this time but in calling, you have failed to respond to them. Remember this always: You are given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. Which means, God will put events in your life and how you act on them will change the course of the future. It is not because God isn't answering your prayers, you aren't just acting on them."
Cracking my hand, the sun came over the horizon in the distance and the first rays of light began to shine on us and a I nodded my head. On the way home, I had a montage of thoughts flowing through my head like if it was some AMV on youtube. The person was right, things started to seem a lot clearer to me, and even though I have built walls around making them harder to tear down, I said to myself, "All these years, all these memories, there was you. You pull me through time. Because, for every shadow, no matter how deep is threatened by morning light."
Once again I wake up and realize that it was all a dream. The montage hit into my head once again, and it finally all made sense.

Liquidation


Liquidation


Bagging groceries for hours can seem like a grueling task! Just imagine bagging groceries for six hours straight, how insane is that! Oh dear... Item after item, I just couldn't keep up, I couldn't take it, it was driving me insane in the membrane, so I had no choice but to go over and shop at Ralphs. This was no ordinary Ralphs, it was a unique Ralphs. Everyone that I knew who that I never really knew their name but was their friend worked there and they didn't wear name tags so it was the hardest thing for me to see who they really are. Things finally picked up as over the intercom they started to play POLYSICS, so the entire store became an FSU fest as we were dancing really insanely to the finest of J-POP.

After shopping, I went over to my friend's house who just recently moved into an apartment and I was helping her unpack her things and organize everything. As she was cleaning her Mouse Trap board, she looked up at me and said, "Hey put on some tunes!" As happy as I was, I put on one of my favorite songs which was only on one disc. "If you want to come on down, with your bones so white..." With the song playing, everything seem so perfect for me knowing that after a long day of work my friends were cheering me up as always. I stared out the window and I watched the freight trains pound, into the wild, wild night... very romantic. Until... she opened the CD player and tossed it out the window and said, "This music is SH*T Jon-o! How could you put on such ruckus in my house! And if you want to come on down? Sounds like bullsh*t to me. How would it feel if I gnaw on your bone, good wouldn't it?" Not knowing what to do, I got excited, again, because she had Justified, so I put it on only to find it wasn't Justin Timberlake... "Yeah! Justing Rimbermake, this music is so good!" Letting out a big sigh, I left the house to go to my next destination.

I ran into members of my family on the street as I was running in fright from what just happened at my friend's apartment. Being told that we were going to Pick Up Stix, I became content to eat with people from church, I felt a little bit relieved. Looking over, I saw P.F. Changs next to me and I quoted Towelie, "How spicy would you like your Chang sauce?" My brother just looked over at me and said, "What are you saying? How dare you say something like that, so inappropriate." We finally made it to Pick Up Stix after walking through various alleyways and I saw a bunch of families group together and our group was so big that they had to move us to the parking lot, which really wasn't that fun because the ground really smelt like asphalt. Over our heads, there were various helicopters looking for something and it was really distracting me because they kept flying lower and lower knocking over our food, but no one seem to care. I couldn't help but think they were suspicious of me because I had a box cutter in my pocket. Being safe, I took it out and hid it in a large pile of sand which (hehehe) was conveniently next to me. Instantly, a spotlight shined on me, oh dear, it was the box cutter!

"With your hands up, please put your hands on the chopper and don't move!" said the helicopter pilot who was at least 50 feet in the sky. Not understanding what was going on, the kind man shot his gun at me and it bounced off of my chest. Looking up, I said it what it seem to be, Portuguese, "You won't like it when I am hungry." The pilot looked over at his co-pilot and they both nodded at each other. In a heartbeat, things started to look like a Micheal Bay film as I started to turn green and everything began to explode. I clapped my hands, said yeah, and jumped really high into the sky as I appeared to be fifty feet taller. The world seem like a seamless dream of lead as I could see everything for miles. There were carnivals everywhere around me and they all seem to be falling apart as if it was supposed to be my fault destroying everything and I said, "Hey that's not my fault!" Clapping my hands again, I flew over the buildings and attempted to escape the men trying to feed me McDonalds in the helicopter. It was a glorious sight as I could see parts of Europe in the distance and futuristic towns but there was an invisible wall blocking me.

Jumping for what seem to be only about 30 seconds, I saw a girl down below on the ground, "Hey, come hide in here!" Instantly, I became normal Jon-o again and I followed her inside this building which looked like a fishing dock you would find in Maine (a beautiful state). "Over here!" she said as I followed her in the building, "Hide in here, this is the expansion pack area." Expansion pack? That didn't make sense to me, opening the door, I went inside only to find another whole which I really didn't notice that would fit when I was outside. Everything seem to be empty and I went around and notice that it still really seem like this would work. I went behind the opposite side of the house that I left into this new world and looked down this valley to see a statue. Climbing down to see what it was I notice that it was the Prince and his Katamari. Behind me came the girl who helped me escape, "We lost a lot of good men that day, including the Prince." I nod my head and looked over at her, "Where are we?" She looked up and said, "The real world, the Prince destroyed it, so we had to build a new one." "I must go." I said, and I did.

Leaving the real world, I went back to the Ralphs which I originally was shopping at. For Reasons Unknown was playing this time, and I thought, wow what a day. Right in the parking lot, a co-worker came up to me smiling and said, "Hey buddy how is it going?" I looked over at the co-worker, "It's been a long day." What surprised me was that he was texting a friend of mine and I said, "Who are you messaging there?" A synth started to play from his car as the song changed from the CD player, "Don't worry about it." I looked at the phone what my co-worker was writing and it said... Liquidation.

Retro Jon-o : DWDP Pizza-mon the movie: Episodes XVII - XX

Retro Jon-o

Down With Dirty Pizza (2003)
PIZZA-MON THE MOVIE
Celebrating 5 years of clean pizza!

Episode XVII: Pizza-mon the Movie
Part I: Choices



After a long adventure into the Matrix, I decided to take a week long break in the land of Kanto (one of the pokemon regions). Veridian city is a very cool place to hang out because it has a really huge gym where Sebrina is at and such. So that's when I decided, I should tour more of the city. The airport is so cool because they have this airliner called "The Hoot-Hoot Express, and it's very cool. Since i was eating too much pizza at the "Poke-Pizza Buffet." I got kicked out, that's when my troubles became... When I picked up the Pizza-mon book at Barnes and Bobbles I couldn't stop reading it. I was reading the adventures of Team Rocket and their many attempts to steal a Pikachu from this boy named Ash from Pallet town, and their two former gym leader friends, Misty and Brock. Then all of a sudden i wasn't paying attention then I ran into the actual bunch... It was so surprising to me because i thought they were only non-existant but i guess they aren't... Hmmm... Oh well. Back to the story... So i was hanging out and talking to them because Brock lost his Geotron and he couldn't find it because he is unable to see through is oddly shaped eyes, but before Brock could open them... Team rocket camed along and stole the Geotron straight from Brock. We tried to convince Team Rocket, and we almost did until Ash had to interfere... Ash told Team Rocket to die, and i thought he ment from my book, he through it off from the pier and it landed into the water. I was really sad at the time but Pika-tron convinced us to get some pizza, but it didn't work because Pika-tron can't speak. Then when they were arguing some more, I couldn't help my self from talking to Mewoth because he can actually talk! Cool... Well before I could make my way back Ash's pika-tron shocked Team Rocket, including me because i happened to be at the right place at the wrong time... So then it was insane, I got "Blasted off" with team rocket, and we flew and flew until we fell into a field with the rain still falling leaving me with a really big scar on my elbow. I wonder what team rocket has to say about this...

Episode XVIII: Pizza-mon the Movie
Part II: The Birth of UWDP


After awaking from my 15 minute coma from falling from the sky due to Pika-tron's 100,000 volt thunder shock, I had a really bad poke-headache. Looking for 10 minutes I resembled the Team Rocket together. I found Jessie in a Miltank Stable, James in a Sandshrew hole, and mewoth in a box of sharp objects including this cool Charmander pez-dispenser that I'm happing to be holding. But sadly, I was unaware that what was about to happen... Well first of all we started to head back to town all torn up and tired. All James talks about is capturing Pika-tron, and all Jessie talks about is dismantling the 'Twerp's' limbs and body parts... Yuk... When it was time to feed their pokemon, it was a odd experience, Jessie took out her Arbutt and Likatung, and she fed them dirty pizza... That's when I decided i should be undercover on this mission... So we finally reached a pizza parlor and that's when they said, "Prepare for Pizza, and make it double..." So I had to step into this madness and say, "Hope it's not dirty." Then Team Rocket flinched and and ran off yelling the words UWDP... I supposed that means Up With Dirty Pizza but those words were very shocking to my ears and I myself flinched as well. The first thing I did was call the new Pizza H.Q. and warn them of the new threat. Then the second thing I did was to go look for Ash and his rag-tag team of friends ASAP!!! Wow it's sure rainy...
Episode XVIII: Pizza-mon the Movie
Part III: Pikatron captured!



Puff... Puff... Wow I'm tired, I had to run at least 10,000 miles to get here to tell ash that trouble is on the way, and that's when Team Rocket appeared. They had loads and loads of dirty pizza, Yikes! Well then Misty busted out her Psyduck to even up the match, I mean screw up the match. All Psyduck does is tip's his head and says "Psy?" Oh well then Brock got out his Vulpix and Ash got his squirtle and battled Team Rocket's evil pokemon! Kung foo kicks and water guns, and electric shocks, right now this battle was the place to be. In the background Misty kept chanting DWDP and she ate pizza also at the same time. Yikes, again. That's pretty hard to do, eat with food in your mouth and chant DWDP, i should try that some time... or not... Well, oh yeah! Back to the battle... This is where things got wrong. A big mewoth doll used "confusion" and got a hold a pika-tron and grabbed him and took him away. Before Pika-tron could enter the battle, it was already being kidnapped! Eh... This isn't good at all for the pokemon everywhere, without pika-tron we didn't have a chance. Ash tried his hardest to get him back but before you could say pretzel, the balloon and the doll magically dissapear... Since is emo like terminator, he cried him self all the way back to the hotel and he peed his pants so hard, he created his own lake and he had to have the mayor of the city to come down and declare it as a State Lake because it exceeded 20,000 gallons of water, or pee that is. Well tomorrow we are going to go out and get Pika-tron, even if it takes everything we got, including our pizza. Just Kidding! Team Rocket is going down!!!

Episode XX: Pizza-mon the Movie
Part IV: Payback is a Pizza



Wow what a night! First zapped by pika-tron, conformation with Team Rocket and the birth of UWDP, then Pika-tron is then kidnapped! Glad i got some sleep or I'd have to have a Hypno do it for me. Ash did not sleep all night, he created his plan and he did it well. His plan is to find team rocket and get pika-tron back, wow what a plan! That must of took him years to come up with! Yikes! Well we headed out of the hotel and went to the pokecenter where we tracked down pika-tron with the dirty pizza radar, because Team Rocket eats lots and lots of it... eh... Well the highest censors were coming from the dock, where we first encountered Team Rocket. Ash and I, including Misty and Brock, ran as fast as we could and we got there just in time before they morphed pika-tron into Rice Aroni, the San Fransisco Treat. There were many pika-trons there and Ash quickly found his and the battle once again up rised. That's when I decided to get a pika-tron for myself. Then the league is set and the game is on! I threatened the team by saying that my pika-tron will turn you into Apple Jacks and other such... But wait, Apple Jacks don't taste like apples... What's going on here... Why did no one inform me on this discovery... Oh well back to the battle. Jessie's Arbutt was very powerful but couldn't master the art of Ash's Pika-tron. Then Misty had to interrupt and sent out her Starpoo, "Hya!" Well at least starpoo talks cool! Well me and James were battling on top of an oil rig and he had his Weezing that sounded like 40 year old smoker, well that's why you shouldn't smoke... Well I wasn't the best pokemon trainer, so he got away because with his sludge attack, I had no chance against him... Then Team Rocket got away in their new Dirty Pizza balloon, but i assure you, this is not the last time we're going to see team rocket...



Thanks for time traveling with me today, see you all next week!

Micah the Mountain Origins: Chapter V


Micah the Mountain Origins

Chapter V

There, deep inside the Utah forest, our hero, Micah, the mustached mountain, laid restless and defeated as he began to indulge in toxic mushrooms in hopes to get rid of his depression knowing that the entire world at the time hated him. High out of his mind, Micah lost the strength from his mustache to keep himself standing but turned into a blob of worthless sand as he mumbled, "Only my mustache can save this world and I cannot save myself. At least there are many pretty colours everywhere here."

"What are you doing Micah!" yelled the hiker as he was floating on Micah's hovercraft, "You cannot just sit around getting high all time time, don't you see the sun, don't you see how high he is in the sky?"
"Yeah so?" said Micah as he coughed out a mushroom, "The sun is 'chill' he provides me heat grow mushrooms."
"You don't get the point, so what if you are indulging in mushrooms, that doesn't mean you should give up."
The conversation went back and forth for a good thirty minutes until the hiker gave up and ran out of options, except for one...

The hiker began burning down the forest in complete happiness knowing that Micah would have to be forced to escape because he himself did not want to turn into molten lava.

"I don't want to turn into molten lava." said Micah as his mushrooms began to burn off his peak giving him the rationality to think clearly.
Watching the forest burn down, the hiker had a sense of joy to him as he kept on laughing knowing that Micah's binging on shrooms were soon going to end.

The forest rangers came and only saw a mustache in the distance and didn't know what or how to react to the fires, to the forest rangers ran into the fire only to burn themselves alive.

Micah used the glory of tectonic plates and moved over to the hovercraft where he climbed aboard and the two floated off into the distance.

Reflecting on his own life, Micah began to realize that there were so many great things in life. Thinking on how he was created and the life he has lived, Micah started to think about blessings in his life such as his golden mustache, the random hiker, and John Travolta's movies.

"You see Micah, you don't have to indulge on shrooms to enjoy life, you see that there are so many great things out there." said the Hiker.

Licking his Mustache, Micah looked up at the hiker with a smile and began naming off some of the great things in life that he really appreciates. "Yeah, you're absolutely right about everything! China, robots, communism, homeless people, and globalization, there are so many beautiful things we take advantage of until we truly realize that they are gone. From this moment on, I will dedicate my mustache to saving the world!"

"Saving the world?" said the hiker.
"Aye, my friend, saving the world!" said micah
Not questioning what he just said, the hiker just assumed Micah was high again and they rode off into the distance wondering what was exactly going on between each other.

Check back next week for Chapter VI for the final episode!

The Weeping Weenis feat. Naomi PaskoWattz: Anyone Else but Aircanoes

Anyone Else but Aircanoes

The Weeping Weenis is returning for a all new song featured on the Aircanoe soundtrack featuring special guest Naomi PaskoWattz. Sing along to the video below and it will all make sense! Enjoy.



The Weeping Weenis feat. Naomi PaskoWattz
Anyone Else but Aircanoes

You're a part time aircanoe and a full time friend
The air coming out your back is the latest trend
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

Here blows the air and off is the steeple
We sure are dying for two suffocating people
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

This aircanoe works off of minimum wage
I live in the future, and you look like Ellen Page
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

I really don't get this Aircanoe's spiel
I'm in love with how you eat veal
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

I blow air on your brain in this aircanic vein
I blow air on you all starry eyed, as I'm ripped apart from side to side
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

The planet forgive me, the oxygen forgive me
So why can't, Aircanoes forgive me?
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don't why anybody can breathe, as this planet melts
But you

Zeitgeist: Volume IV

Zeitgeist
Volume IV

The spirit of the time; the general intellectual
and moral state or temper characteristic of any period of time.

After beginning my quest into creative arts back in February, I would like to introduce to you some of the drawings from my book that I made titled Zeitgeist which I was in spirit at the time to draw using crayons and expressing my feelings & ideas. Below are a couple of drawings with the meaning and commentary beneath them. I hope you enjoy my artwork!- Jon-o


16) The Future of Moscow

The Future of Moscow, this picture I drew after reflecting my time back in Moscow and tried to make up some architecture which I thought would best represent Russia and behold, I came up with this. There are really only two buildings with an actual influence to me, the one on the farthest left is a building found in Sim City 2000 when you start to make eco-buildings when you reach the distant future and the gray one hidden in the back is the one found in Blade Runner. I love buildings, cannot deny it!

17) Europa I


Europa I, the sixth moon of Jupiter, is something that has always fascinated me because one day looking through a book of space I noticed this planetoid and really realized that it was truly a piece of art as if God really did spend his time brushing his paint brush across the surface of Europa. Out of anywhere in the solar system right now, Europa is a top contender for containing life.

Here is a picture that I copied off from the surface, enjoy ;-)

18) Europa II

Europa II is the concept from Europa, here is the image that I copied from the satellite images.

19) Surf of the Future

Surf of the Future comes from an idea that one point in human history we will soon become more machine than man, kind of like the Borg in Star Trek. As you see here, it is clear this man has way too many cybernetic attachments which has improve his surf. I am not the biggest surf fan being H2No and all but this is kind of a dedication to those who do surf because one of my friends come from a legendary surf family, my friend has done ministry work through surfing, and I live in a city founded on surfing. So cheers to you all surfers out there! Behind on the boat is my secret language that only I can read. Rad eh?

20) Sociology

Sociology is defined as the study and classification of human societies but here I went away from the normal thinking what is it going to be called when we meet another race of alien, Socioxenology?

21) Happy Valentines Day!


Happy Valentine's Day is a pretty simple explanation, but actually very deep I guess you can see. Usually Valentine's Day are tough times, but for some reason during this year I became really excited because Valentine's Day for me this year meant traveling up to San Francisco with my friends which ended up to be a very lovely and fun trip involving epic proportions. It was really nice to go with one of my best friends twice in a month to my favorite city, but this time it was around five days of all four of us eating at restaurants, taking the bus, and having a fun time. This was the last drawing in my series using crayons and the last one symbolizes love because that is what I have for my friends and family because they mean everything for me.

These are the drawings in my Zeitgeist series, I hope you enjoyed them!
