I'm decidedly UN-telepathic, I rely totally on verbal communication, not body language, pheromones, sign language, hand signals, semaphore, heliographs, morse-code, or some fantastic system of mind to mind empathic intuition.

Pffft - I expected more from you. I will now shake my head in disappointment.

- work colleges come up silently and stand behind me waiting for me to finish what I'm doing so they can ask me about a new job… Just fricken ASK me guys! I can't magically know what you want unless you do. Jebus.

Person behind Ozone ocean thinks:

"I wanna say something but, he's lookin' at that screen with that real intense look and he knows I'm here and he knows I know he knows I'm here - maybe if I wait a little longer he'll say something ‘cos if I say something he might turn round and lookit me with that even more intense look an’ I won't know if he's thinkin - ‘about time fer gods sake’ or -'can't you see I'm trying to concentrate' I mean, fer cryin' out loud, how long have I actually been here and why doesn't he just say somethin'…..

I've had my new laptop for one week, and it has already severely crashed. I spent the last two hours on the phone with tech support and had to completely reformat and reinstall everything.

What really sucks is that I just got the thing broken in and ready for a short road trip this week. I leave tomorrow. Sheesh. Life has great timing…

dang it….my wife may be playing devils advocate, but she's the one who originally wanted me to not be in the same area i am, so i don go on trips as often….

it's completly un cool…

stupid stupid ness….i slept all night and missed my normal gym time, which means today is going to suck as i try to cram everything in…

Well this has been a fun week.

First I get a cold just after I'm over my throat infection. Then, I lost my glasses, which I really need. You remember how Velma from Scooby Doo was completely blind when she lost her glasses every episode? That's what it's like. So not only that, but it's taken me a week and a half to finally get an appointment to have my ears done so I can hear again. Not only that, but I've not been able to connect to the internet since I got here, and only got on now because of a a split second when the signal strength was at ‘slightly less miniscule’ and it's abysmally slow.

Trout?

You're aliiiiive!

I can't tell you how good it makes me fell to see that pinched up little face again! Which brings me to my rant:

How could you do this to us?! How could you go away for so long without so much as a word. Are we not flesh, blood and bone? Do our sinewy hearts not mark each passing minute of your absence with their relentless beating…beating…beating…
We thought something might have……


Welcome back.

Okay. Girl totally went ballistic. Called me names behind my back, and I tried making things better. But she didn't want them to get better.

So I resorted to cussing her out.
To be honest? It felt good…real good.
I never stand up for myself.
And it's about damn time I did.

I just bought Fable when i have two essays for my portfolio due monday i haven't started.

I am so fucked.

Bastards. Now I have to go online, over a fucking money order through the mail even though their HQ is RIGHT FUCKING HERE. I can walk there in half an hour, they're practically right down the god forsaken STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!

I hate sending letters.

i took a nap, and had a nightmare

i had a dream my wife left me, and then sent me a voice mail said she was “going to go thru with it”, and then a “month” later i got a call from someone speaking spanish saying she was dead. and i was in denial. and then there was this overlaying song that was awesome….ly depressing. it fit the dream perfectly, then i formed a band with my friends and we started singing the song, and then willie nelson came in and tried to play the drums….

i was still singing the song when i woke up. but int the 50 min it took to get here i've forgotten it…

You're not missing much… they're all one hit wonders, the kind that get into your brain and make you sick before you can finally get rid of them -_-

I'm considering changing my major more than I ever thought I would. I really do enjoy illustration, but I'm finding that I come very much from the fine art side of the crowd and all my teachers art definitely from the graphic design side. They all make it sound like being an illustrator is almost exactly the same as being a graphic designer and I already know from experience that I chose illustration because I like telling stories and jokes with my art, and I didn't want to go entirely into fine art but I knew graphic design wasn't a good fit for me. I kind of wish I knew exactly how much of being an illustrator was exactly like being a graphic designer or if it even matters worth a damn what degree I get when it comes to my eventual career, so long as I get one.

At least if I do change it, I know what to change it to. I've definitely discovered that I love working with my hands and forming things and I'm apparently really good at sculpting. I just want to know if illustration is nothing more than glorified graphic design once you get past college.

This is the same kind of dilemma I faced a few years ago (ahem) Iba: it's a really tough one because your goals don't really fit squarely into either camp. I took the fine art route and I'd advise caution on this. Unless fine art courses have changed a lot in the last few (ahem) years, you'll find that any kind of cartooning or graphic storytelling is going to be frowned upon as illustration work, and you'll end up hurling buckets of paint at a 12ft canvas just to get by.

When I finished college it took me years to learn to draw in an ‘illustrative’ way again. The fine art faculty will teach you ways of approaching drawing which will improve your skills, but make it much harder for you to finish a comic page.

From what I've seen of illustration courses, they are gearing you up to work in the cut throat arena of the professional illustrator, which is similar to graphic design from the point of view of securing a steady flow of work, although it's usually freelance. I assume they're not trying to impose a particular style on you, but trying to make you commercially viable. In some ways, it's probably closer to what you want to do, but still a good way off.

I'd probably stick with what you're doing, for the fact that you're already doing it, for the market awareness and self discipline it will give you, and for the fact that fine artheads like me will envy you for not ending up in a government office (and that's my rant!).

That's so spot on! One time I was singing that song that goes “It always feel like somebody's watching me” in my sleep.


I was so happy because I'm ahead in all my classes, all my projects are turned in for the first reporting period and everything…even for art class, and I'm really slow. I've been working pretty hard. And then today my LA teacher asked me where some expository paragraph is. Which I had no idea about. It shouldn't take me long, but still. I was looking forward to not having any homework for the next few days and especially the thanksgiving long weekend.

To rant or not to rant. I really could, but instead I'll keep pounding out pages to my formerly abandoned comic.

A mind is such a changeable thing especially when your reasoning wasn't all that sound in the beginning. There is probelm solving and then there is my life. ;)

so i haven't heard back from my college option….bass turds prolly want me to call so they can use the voice effect.

almost home. and now i'm going somewhere awesome maybe….well they said i was. but yeah, not much longer.


also i was thinking about starting my comic over. and just redux. also i'm hungry for more steak….outback steakhouse sent a bunch of workers over seas with boxes full of bloomin onion's and steaks and made lunch for us today….and chocolate cake, or cheese cake….it's the most i've eaten in a while….it was delicious…

Brand new, and I tell myself it was the last one in the state.

Got annother shift at my new job this week.

Killed alot of people online this morning.

Decided on a nice short script for myself.

Complete turn around, even this toothache is making me happy right now.

I like having lots of teeth, it makes me feel like a shark.

Gnnaaaarrrrrr.

I don't know what to do about my digital multimedia class…I can't just keep skipping it, but I'm not just going to keep staring at my screen blankly class after class. The teacher is too lazy to give me a special project or anything. And it's too late to drop it for another class.

Wait a minute; this could be the opportunity you never have again: a screen in front of you, time on your hands, no one to disturb you - you could make a…..a……WEBCOMIC!

What in the name of all that's holy am I talking about?! Ignore all of the above; I am heading for the booze cupboard now!

I could make half-arsed drawings for a webcomic. I can't really write.

No? You'd better pass on my regards to whoever wrote your strip then. It made me laugh lol!.

My rant:

I can't start my comic because I've got these fanzine pages to finish.
I can't finish these fanzine pages because my kids keep getting up all night.
I can't keep my kids from getting up all night because they know I'm up.
Trying to finish these fanzine pages.
It's a circle.
It's vicious.

Or you could make a full-arsed one like me :)

Ironscarf is right. A web-comic project is the obvious choice.

I would love nothing more. But I also have no ideas. And I'm lazy.

This could be top ten! Van should open up a topic for ideas: you could have time travel even, or Space Van…Undersea Van…there's no limit to where that brightly coloured van could go, or who you could meet. They'll love it, young and old.
