With the Old-Wizard.com Logo Contest barely a week old we’ve received some pretty solid entries so far (along with some just plain strange entries…but hey, this is Old-Wizard, what do you expect?) We’d thought we’d share a few of them to try to inspire some more entries. So without any further ado, here they are:

The Old-Wizard.com Logo Contest

For nearly a year now Old-Wizard.com has been a website without a logo. The main reason being that we’re not creative enough (i.e. too lazy) to come up with our own. To remedy this situation we’ve decided to have a logo contest. Basically, we are in need of a flashy symbol, a promising graphical thingamajig, something that gives hope to all our readers out there. You can submit as many as you like, and we are going to pick the best one on August 1, 2008. The logo will be used on flyers, ads, t-shirt, stickers and all that sort of stuff. Some good references would be Prince’s Symbol(if this was the website formerly known as Old-Wizard) or the FBI symbol. Something simple. The winner will have our un-dying graitude, big shout outs on the site, and a prize pack.

Aries:

That’s crazy, Aries! You sound like air but you’re a fire sign, CRAZY! You’re also a sheep but you were born to lead, THAT’S CRAZY TOO! In fact, just about everything about you is crazy. If I were you I would lead parades, because you get to twirl that sparkle stick and wear the British police hat, and that’s CRAZY! You know what parade I like? The Saint Patrick’s Day parade. One time I was there with my grandfather and he gave me a dollar to buy a balloon on a stick, but they cost way more than a dollar, right? So I bought those poppers that are like tissues with gun powder in them and threw them at the firemen and horses. One of the fire men had to have a talk with my grandpa and then we had to leave the parade, but I got to go have corned beef and cabbage in a room filled with guns because my gramps was in the war. That was crazy, JUST LIKE YOU ARIES! So take my advice and don’t go throwing stuff at horses or you’ll end up watching my gramps get krunk in the basement of the armory.

Yesterday I am at the old supermarket in Berlin right after work. I was picking up some frozen pizzas for a little din din…if you know what I mean. Let me back track…its my fookin’ blog….really I can do anything I want! So at 2pm on the same day I visited the grocery store, I drank a mountain dew live wire. It’s simply a mountain dew that tastes like orange. But it was a 20oz. bottle and that stuff went straight to my crankcase(head)!!

Captain’s Log: 5 April 2008

Drank a few beers last night. Not too many, but enough. I think one of them was skunked because my inner gyroscope is fucked up. I keep falling to the left. My gammy leg probably isn’t helping that situation. Dude, speaking of which, what’s up with people that have two legs that are different lengths? How does that happen? Sounds like a communication error between the left and right brains. My top and bottom brains are having a communication problem. We can’t decide to stand up or fall over. Must sign up for hope. Can’t forget that.

So what about atrophied limbs on people? When someone has a bay arm and a man arm its fuckin scary. Probably all that McDonalds their parents ate. Nub limbs are creepy too. I’m not sure I could handle seeing a nub right now, let alone stroke one. They kind of remind me of alien tentacles, in a bizzaro way of course. I never said I was normal. I’m done with this. Time to do some work.

Here’s a quote I read. “Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that might lift them out of resentment-filed illusions of security.”

I gave it some thought and I came to the conclusion that you have to define life before you can live it. Does anyone have an earth-spanning definition for life? Personally when I was thinking about this this morning, I called it satisfaction. Life is being satisfied in what your are doing at the time without being bitter. If planning is your thing, and it makes you happy, then you’re living life in your own way. Overall, I figured it was best to probably ensure that everything I was doing I found fun. Fun is satisfaction to me. A few things that I labeled “dumb persistence” were work and boring subjects in schools.

I’d say that I am not living life as per my definition of life which sucks. Lesser people would tailor their definition of life to coincide with how they are currently living. Instead, I think its better to have a goal of living life that is Xanadu and eventually reaching it, sooner rather than later. For some people, having that crutch in life is normal, and they need it. Its not living life by my standards, but for them it suffices. It all comes back to how you define life. There’s the easy way and the hard way. How do I plan on reaching my Utopian goal? By removing the “resentment-filled illusions of security” from my life. I have to figure out a way to never have to work. Needless to say while I was pondering this this morning, it renewed by zest for writing my book, as not having to work removes the primary “resentment-filled illusion of security” in my life.
