Ooop, are vanished his post… Ah well.
Yeah. Sorry. I don't remember why I did that. Thanks for reply though man. I sometimes want to be able to cut out my heart and lock it somewhere like Davy Jones does in POTC. That would be nice…

I have 53$ in my project wonderful account for just letting it sit there, this is awesome since i've been wanting extra money for comics and i earned back all the money i had spent on ads before plus extra.

Edort: trying to decide between blankets, jimmy corrigan, locke and key, and fishtown. They're all the same price but i gotta do without one…hhmmm

edort2: fishtown is awesome i had no clue it started as an online comic:

Oh my goodness, the London MCM Expo is in two days and I cannot wait, since it's one of only two days where I go on full fanboy animu nerd mode* and kick reason to curb. Randomly hugging cute Asians? YOU KNOW IT SISTER.

*weaboo Can Asian people be weaboos?

Edit: I can play Left4Dead2 there, yeeeeeaaah.

Edit the second: It's going to rain tomorrow, FFFFFFF-

warning. debbie downer moment on it's way.

still reading? be warned.

you have been warned.

One of my coworkers was killed in afghanistan last week. it makes me sad. but not to tears. he knew the risk. and volunteered. I'm not going to tell my wife, cause 1. she didn't know him, and 2. She doesnt react well to news like that in refrence to my job.

in other news, i like swimming, and the move is going along swimmingly. i have more stuff to do.

I'm sorry to hear that. Your line of work is hard but you're taking a risk to at least keep your family safe.

I bet lots of people want to be street fighters, right? Well…

The weatherman said it's going to be ‘light rain’ tomorrow. But how light is light rain? Do you think it'll warrant the need for an umbrella?

Light rain means it'll be raining wet photons. I believe lava protection suit would be more appropriate than a simple umbrella.

Blargh… I had a whole bunch of people lined up who promised to buy my book once it's out. I warned them about the price to which they said “oh, 20$ is not that bad, I'll pick it up”

Well….

…so far I sold nearly one* copy. Bunch of people dropped offline and I haven't had contact with them in the last few months, a few lost their jobs, another few can't afford a book now due to bills (funny, I seem to have the same problem) and few more won't be able to buy it due to christmas shopping. And then there's a group that can't buy it cause they don't have paypal yet (or anymore). Argh.

I was hoping to sell some and perhaps put the money into advertising somewhere and hopefully sell more. No such luck.

Ew, some guy just posted a really negative comment on a video I made of my friends and I bowling. Naturally I removed it, but not before checking his channel and seeing he was 36 years old with three videos of him doing shitty punk rock guitar covers. I guess being a waste of carbon empowers him somehow. I'd pick a fight with him, but I don't want the comment to upset my friends. I'm used to that kinda thing with my Internet experience, but they'd probably get really pissed off. Don't feed the trolls!

It's probably one of my ex's pothead friends anyway. -_-;

So I'm depressed.
I have no idea why, and it sucks.
And I can't go to the gym tonight, so I have to wait until tomorrow.

That's all I had to look forward to this weekend.

Oh well, I'll just go back to my corner, and draw by myself.

Bye guyyyys~

God Boursin is the most awesome thing ever, it's this really soft cheese with garlic, chives, white pepper and all this other stuff perfect for crackers. I wish america were more of a cheese culture, even good brie is expensive and i hear that's like common stuff elsewhere.

My laptop is seriously pissing me off. It'll just freeze up and the ctrl+alt+delete and shutdowm button does nothing. So in order to shut it off i have to pull the laptop battery out, god knows what kind of problems that's causing, and reattach.

Man….can't wait til next week when i get my comics though :) I've managed to keep a casual one page per week thing since the two pages failed. 5 more weeks and i can color and letter! :0 yaaaaayyyy

Edit: i seriously thought this a comic making fun of all the things not to do when making a webpage and comic, holy sh*t it's actually not

Have you tried using air duster, to dust it out? It may be over heating, and freezing up.

And these days a hard power cycle isn't going to hurt much. it may currupt a file you're working on, but the operating system should be able to handle it.

Just remember to be intolerant to all tones of skin and religions and you're sure to be kicked out early.
Those were my two cents.

I found out that the bank has just been stringing me along for 3 months about giving me a loan because they didn't want to outright reject my request and maybe lose my business. So now, after they waited so long to tell me, it means I've got about a month to make $2,500 magically appear for this term's tuition or I get kicked out. That career opportunity with the Navy is starting to sound like a better and better idea.

I've been drawing all night. It's 6am. I'm going to bed. I'm buggered.

Oh, I had a dream yesterday night that I showed my bicorn hat to my dad and he laughed and said it looked gay. Yesterday morning my dad came over and I finally got to show him my bicorn hat. He laughed and said it looked gay. :)

Psychic dream!!!!!!!!!



…Naw, I just know my dad that well.

Owch… Hopefully you get a nice enlistment bonus and chances for gaining education within the Navy if you decide to go that route. I think the Army would be a better route unless you're immune to sea sickness…

Finished reading Mein Kampf.

Now I have a clearer understanding of why the average German was brainwashed into thinking that the Jews are responsible for everything that's wrong.

I could just imagine if I happened to be born in that time period. Back then there's no internet… so I'd probably fall for the kool-aid for awhile. I'd probably start questioning reality when I see Jewish women and children being given brutal deaths. Or maybe members of my own family or friends being arrested for questioning the fuhrer.

Its sad that there seems to be validity in Hitler's statement that the average person is too simple minded.

Its true even today.

Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense about global warming and getting vaccinated and that fluoride is good. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense about terrorists lurking at every corner and therefore theres a need to spy on everyone and be a nation of tattle tales who call the cops at the drop of a hat. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense that only males are capable of domestic violence and women are not. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense of increasing the size of government and that government really exists to help you and keep you safe.

I'd bet my bottom dollar on this: If one day the mainstream institutions of society (media, government, churches, etc.) repeated the same propaganda as Nazi Germany, I bet the majority of people will follow along like sheep. They'd believe it all. That the Jews are the reason for everything that is wrong.

Yeah. Seasickness only bothered me once when I was little. On a bigger ship I don't much notice it.

I'm going to call on a few clients who still owe me money for illustration and design work and see if I can't scrape enough together to get it paid up that way before I just up and enlist. I know I have at least one past client who has a $1000+ tab that he's going to have to pay on soon.

I don't care how tech savvy they are, never let your friends use your computer. Or shoot your gun for that matter.

Last two times I let my buddy use my PC, he deleted all my temp files and bookmarks, and this time, two viruses in five minutes. I let him take over repairs while I was playing a game, and now I can't use windows task manager or AIM.

And I let another friend shoot my USP. Forty bullets later the firing pin is broken.

I know my shit isn't in the best condition, and that's why letting others play with it is a bad idea. They're just as good with their own stuff, but somehow… SOMEHOW THEY ALWAYS END UP BREAKING MINE!!!
God needed the Devil, the Beatles needed the Rolling Stones, Hakoshen needs me.
I'm the enemy he requires to define him.
Soon or later, he'll bring me back to life again for another epic encounter of shouting about power levels and grimacing.

No pc damage from friends (so far) but other people used to break my toys when I was a kid. Until this very day I have this weird thing that if I see someone playing around with something belonging to me, I quickly take it away from their hands, haha.

But hey, I was given a toy piano when I was little… guess what, a pair of kids broke it before I got to play it. Years later I got a “sort of radio controlled” car (sort of as the controller was wired to the car, haha). Well, my older brother and his friend took it over and as a result? I NEVER got to play it as they broke it on the very first night. And so on…

Until I learned myself to break my own toys few years later :D

I'm thinking of picking one of my shorter project ideas and doing it as a 40-50 page oneshot. Maybe then I'll have something to sell that'll actually sell :P

My scanner isn't working. I have to use the disk it came with to fix it but I lost it. So now its just a printer. So now when FS5 comes around I'm going to have to use pant or gimp with a mouse instead of using pen and paper. This sucks so much. I just started getting back my creative mojo and I can't do anything D:<

Oh god, I'm the other way around. Even if I have permission, even if the other person doesn't care, I refuse to borrow anything because I'm convinced I'll lose or break it.

Wow.. some crazy minister (I won't mention which faction, except that they like to come up to your door and talk to you every Sunday) is on the radio urging people not to celebrate the “sinister” holiday called “Halloween” because it steers us away from the Almighty. I sometimes wonder if this guy has his mind someplace else other than reality. In this day and age it's supposed to be a holiday for the kids, but either he doesn't care or he sees something that I don't…

That's a really good idea with the air duster…i'll try that thanks

————————-

Ahh i was so tired when i left my friends house but as soon as i get in the door at home my energy goes ‘8D’. Man i don't know what to do with it now, hopefully it'll drain in 30 minutes.

My cat was so happy to see me though, i almost felt kinda bad for staying out until 4am defeating the covenant forces.

huuuge exam on the 30th, i still can't shake the feeling that my online teacher wants us to fail the class, just the little things in her messages and total uninvolved with the class are pointing to it. (biiiiitttch)
