Seeing a Cloud That Looked Like a Dragon

Some people have looked at the clouds and imagined flying on dragons through the clouds.  Not me.  I once looked at the clouds and saw a cloud that looked like a dragon.

This happened a long time ago, when I was 13 years old or so, and I still remember it to this day.  I was outside at school and I looked at clouds in the sky.  All of a sudden, I saw a cloud that looked a bit like an Eastern dragon.  I thought that it was a cool and interesting sight to see.

As cool and interesting as that was, that’s the only time that I’ve seen a cloud that looked like a dragon so far.

Dragons of Tarkir Trailer: My Thoughts

Recently when I was browsing through Youtube videos, I came across the trailer for the Magic:  The Gathering expansion Dragons of Tarkir (which is the third and final expansion in the Khans of Tarkir block).  Though I don’t play Magic:  The Gathering (but collect the cards on occasion), I decided to watch it anyways because, hey, there are dragons in it and I’m fascinated with dragons.

What did I think of it?  I felt that it was better than the other Magic:  The Gathering trailers that I’ve watched so far in terms of animation.  In particular, the scenes of Sarkhan Vol and the scenes of the spirit dragon Ugin had a better quality (and looked more realistic) than some of the other scenes in it.  The writing wasn’t fantastic, but it wasn’t really bad, either (and I feel the same way about the narration).  Also, I wasn’t surprised at how many times Sarkhan says the word “dragon” in it (just for the record, he says it 10 times).

Then, when I read through the comments about it, I saw something that I thought was a bit funny and awesome but didn’t really surprise me at the same time:  Some of the commenters mentioned How to Train Your Dragon, be it them implying that it was like How to Train Your Dragon or saying that it made them think of How to Train Your Dragon.  Such thoughts were not thoughts that I personally shared, but I still thought that it was awesome that the people who had those thoughts brought up How to Train Your Dragon.  I thought that it was a bit funny that some of the commenters implied that it was like How to Train Your Dragon, mainly because it’s about a man traveling back in time to prevent the extinction of dragons on his home plane (which is not what How to Train Your Dragon is about).

Oh, and I wasn’t surprised that dragons were on my mind after I watched it.  XD

Something Funny Related to How to Train Your Dragon 2

I had something funny related to How to Train Your Dragon 2 happen last year that I thought I’d share.  It contains a spoiler for How to Train Your Dragon 2, so don’t click the “read more” if you haven’t watched it.

Something Funny and Dragon-Related

I thought I’d share something funny and dragon-related that happened to me last year.

I was sitting at a table with a few of my friends and we were hanging out at a friend’s house.  One of my friends who was sitting across from me noticed that I was wearing a dragon hat, a dragon t-shirt, and a dragon necklace.  He looked at me and asked, “Do you like dragons?”  I looked at him and said, “As if you couldn’t tell.”

I thought that was a bit funny that he asked me that.  I was wearing a dragon hat, a dragon t-shirt, and a dragon necklace, so wouldn’t it be at least a little bit obvious that I like dragons?  XD

My Fascination with Dragons

If there’s a mythical creature that I’ve been fascinated with for as long as I can remember (and that I can’t remember not liking) and a mythical creature that would be my favorite mythical creature if I had to pick just one, it would be dragons.  There are other mythical creatures that are among my favorite mythical creatures (centaurs and sphinxes in particular), but to me, none of them hold a candle to dragons.  That aside, this entry is going to be about how I became fascinated with dragons.

Looking Back on 2014

Wow.  I find it hard to believe that it’s the end of 2014 already.  It seems like this year was a long one and yet it seems to have gone by quickly.  Still, it’s been a great and interesting year nonetheless.

Anyways, since this a blog about dragon-related things, I’ll talk about some (if not most) of the cool and interesting dragon-related things that happened to me this year.
