feeling unusually calm. Like I wanna just sit here and do nothing. As of the moment of typing this, you can punch me in the face and there is 90+ percent chance I'm not gonna hit you back (considering I'll still be conscious after absorbing a hit to the face).

Now I can't stop quoting the Wise Woman sketch, thanks alot Product! >:U

Anywho, finished etching for art, will print next lesson and become awesome. Now I have Study and can't decide which to procrastinate about, my Senior Geography Project worth 25 per cent of my final mark, or my Modern history Essay due next week which I've bearly started? I've decided to procrastinate about both. Its never too late to Procrastinate.

<—My face right now. I know right? I turned into a middle aged man again. I've gotta stop doing that.

I have to do one more portfolio piece for art class. I was going to do sort of an imitation-propaganda thing but I don't think I have enough time to do all the research I'd want to do for that. So I don't know.
Anyone have some brilliant idea for me?

I could yell random topics if you like? What do you have to do, exactly?

Well it's a free choice. So anything that involves painting or drawing of some sort, really. Random topics would be much appreciated!

Crushed butterflys. Then be all pretentious like “There is beauty….even in death”. Big fat A.

I came up with a cool premise but the way i'd have to tell the story is different. On one hand it's sorta unique, but on the other it makes the pacing weak. I shall keep working on it…

-Turtles
-Tigers
-Tampons
-Tamborenes
-Tapirs
-Toilets
-Turtles again

I'm just going on T related things because T is an awesome letter.

Now some more serious stuff:

-Famous Historical figures?
-Musicians?
-Various cultural issues, art teachers love cultural issues summed up in paintings
-Social issues, they love social issues too
-Turtles?

I heard if you break open turtles, there's treasure inside.



Go ahead, try it some time!

…Why do people think that butchering the English language and “Spelliing thiings liikee thiss” is cool? Why? Just… Just why?

I feel like an out of control English teacher, sitting with a red correctting pen just WAITING for someone to spell like that so I can circle and cross things out like there is no tomorrow!

heh… turtle fence…

stupid stupid stupid politicians who are so out of touch with reality. But then again, what about those who vote for these morons?

The average person is out of touch with reality. They live in a state of waking hypnosis. Their thoughts aren't their own. Their thoughts are the thoughts of the corporate media, govt, religion, etc. And they just seem to do what they're told cuz they're just so darn highly suggestible. Ahhh… the mind control. :)

Right, this might sound kinda weird (and it might not be the place to post about it) but…

Does anyone have a spare Wacom pen nib? The plastic tip thingie that's touhcing the tablet surface as you draw? I could REALLY use one or two but I'm so broke it's not even funny and the only guy selling them over here charges about 25$ plus shipping for a set of four. All the money that falls into my pocket flies out straight away for bills/food.

Someone send me one and I'll draw you some fanart/guest strip/other :D
I really want to get back to drawing proper comics again.

creepiest thing ever just happened to me…

I was in the shower, with my right shoulder to the opening. I started to wash my face, and something scratched my left shoulder, i turned to move the luffa or whatever was there, but nothing was there. or in the bathroom…

I'm sleepy because I don't eat but I don't eat because I'm sleepy… thus once again I've caught myself in a cycle where I fuck myself over.
An employment opportunity came up, lack of job experience on my resume is going to lead to denial. Chances are high that a better applicant will be chosen with a fuckload of experience, but I applied anyway.

Once again addicted to Coca-cola, you glorious bubbley bastard you.
Those damn canker sores also came back.


On a brighter note, the Duke Nukem demo is in three days.

TURTLE POWER!

My french comic came in the mail! It's HUGE, wow. It's the size of a large artbook here and hardcover too. C'est parfait!

Anyways I need moar. Shame shipping costs are so insane…i wonder if i could beg someone in france to collect all my wanted comics and then ship them off to me in a single box. (instead of 6-11$ shipping every time)

I have spares, but I think it would cost more to send them all the way from Canada. : (

My new boss is so nice. We did really well sales-wise on Sunday so she got us chocolate. My coworkers and I are like “Positive reinforcement? What is this?”

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Looking through my portfolio I realized I have something I meant to develop into a larger painting and never did, so I think I'll do that.

Whenever I see the Mutant Nninja Turtles, I always think of the other artists that could possibly be a teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in their spare time. Like Van Gogh. Wouldn't Van Gogh the Mutant Ninja Turtle be funny? Actually, I think he'd be really crazy, eating yellow paint and like: “I need to cut off my ear and give it to the prostitute!” And then Leonadro would be all “But dude, we don't HAVE ears!”

And Van Gogh would be crushed, and have to find something else to cut off and give to the prostitute.

Read that and thought about the Grudge, instantly. That is really really creepy.

Heh… had so much fun yesterday. Watching my niece graduate was really nice. And to think for the first five years or so of her life I was saddled with her, changing her diapers and withstanding watching that cursed Purple Dinosaur with her every morning (and now she even wonders why she watched that monstrosity). She's grown into a beautiful young woman with aspirations on becoming a nurse so she can help others. I guess now I know how a proud father would feel. Makes me wish I had children myself…

Then I see my youngest brother's children and my senses snap back into place (they're little MONSTERS!!!).

Still wouldn't mind having children though. I just have to find the right partner… don't want to end up like all those extremely vicious divorce/custody battle cases I keep seeing on TV…

Ah… I guess today I'll work on my accelerated bullet string. Where a series of bullets are fired with incrementally increased speed values… and when they are fired all at once they spread rapidly until all their speeds are reduced ‘til they’re at the speed of the slowest bullet. I guess something like this…

Youtube Video: Touhou 6 - Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Extra Clear
Starting at 0:45

Should be easy to create the reverse of that. Other plans include creating the invisible “guns” that will fire these things which will be my way of having these things fire in interesting patterns.

Same, I wouldn't mind having children (bit young to be thinking about it of course) I'd be a bit silly and try to mould them into my minions, I like looking after kids. But then I see monsterous little brats in the supermarket throwing massive trantrums about not getting chocolate biscuits or lollies, and I remember how much I hate small screaming children.

I do like children, but if I had the choice, I'd probably skip the whole baby, toddler, screaming child phase and just adopt one who was 12 years old.

Ah. Skipping to the best part, I see.

Hahaha, best part my arse, at least by 12 they know how not to crap in their pants.

Really? I wouldn't mind having kids, but I'm terrified of the teenage years. I've been a good kid 0-12 and 16-now, but even I was terrible as a young teen.

Eh, might just be my optimism about the teenage years. Personally, I cannot stand little children, I just say that I'd prefer the older years because I have to deal with them at school in art classes and teach and stuff. I get more problems with the really young years then I do with the older years.

it really depends, there are friends that are off-limits to my wife, because she comes back googly-eyed for their adorable well behaved children. So i send her to another friends house, who has the child that the name “terrible two's” was for. It was great when she worked retail, because for some reason she only got to see the terrible children, so no amount of time at our friends house could undo that.


I do want children someday, but if my dogs are any example of our parenting skills, we will be so screwed.

If you had cornered me four years ago and told me that I was going to have three little kids back to back – and love every second of it – I probably would have stood there waiting for the punch line. Never once did I dream I would like kids.

In fact, I was quite vocal with my fiance (and anyone else who was unfortunate enough to broach the topic of children with me). But birth control is apparently only %99 effective and three kids later, here I am.

I'd never even been around babies, not that I could remember. The closest thing I came to babysitting was my younger sister, and even then I was close enough in age to dodge changing her diapers and feeding her. In the end, it felt like kids would be a death sentence for me. I had no idea what to do with them, and was frankly quite scared of the prospect.

But then you have your own kids and….perceptions change. If I could describe meeting my son, it was almost like all twenty years of my life up until that point were just the flickering images in the opening credits of some movie. Just names and production companies and then the giant title reading “Motherhood” in bold letters. Once I had kids, the film finally started rolling.

But life is mysterious and unpredictable and capable of completely changing your percetions of reality faster than you can say “congratulations, it's a boy”.

Don't rule out kids. And don't dread the little ones. Yes, the are messy. Yes, they tend to crap their pants. And yes, they have a disturbing tendancy to be sticky. But they are altogether, completely and wholly amazing. The last three years have been the most dynamic, insightful, fast-paced and thrilling years of my entire life.

And don't let little kids scare you, either. If I can do it, anyone can. Also, on a side note, I'm pretty sure little kids can smell fear…
