Well, it's a lazy raining Sunday morning, and I've got a thing or two to talk about.

I'm sorry if I didn't get to many people over the last few days, it's been pretty hectic here. It's Spring, and that means Spring cleaning. Our garage has been gathering junk for 17 years, and yesterday we gutted it. It took us almost 7 hours to do. So yeah, there went my saturday. But, it was fun, and I got my excorsize...that's spelled wrong, but I'm not awake enough to care yet.

Next thing, anyone else seen this show Blood+? What a rediculous protagonist. She fights these blood monsters by cutting herself...ok, I kinda get the sacrifice idea. But, still, she bleeds to fight blood monsters... I don't know, maybe it'll make sense later on. Like, how this little girl was used in some war 20-30 years ago. Meh, I didn't get to watch Eureka7 yet, that show I'm interested in. Bleach and Shamploo I've seen (I'm about 100 or so episodes ahead of Bleach).

Another thing, I wasn't able to draw anything this weekend. "What, the weekend isn't over yet!" I know, but the rest of today has to be spent working on my speech. Woo hoo for 8-10 minute speech on homelessness. I'll give a bit of a preview for what's to come. Specs and co. are going to be given full page intros, along with another character being brought in. I'm also going to start coloring in my kirby drawings, I expect good results.

Well, it's really pooring down now, so I'm gonna go get the paper and make sure the generator is in working order.

Uber short post today, you want to know how short? Well...all I really have to say is that MyO still won't let me post my comics, so it's time for that angry note.

The other thing is, breaking one's nose isn't not at all hard. No, AngelZakuro, I didn't actually punch myself in the face while I was commenting on your post. I was going at it with the punching bag later that day, and I just decided to add a headbut into my normal finisher combo. First time was a mistake, you're supposed to come from a downward angle on headbuts. I went straight on, and you know how the nose is kinda pointy on the end of your face...it doesn't take kindly to head on collisions. S'ok though, I realised mid rush that it was a mistake and pulled back enough to keep me from real injury. Still kinda squished my nose, so I just kinda crunched it back into place. That is painful, just for future reference.

Yep, I'm pissed now. I've submitted my comic 3 times now, and still they won't let it be put on the site. I'll let you guys see the latest one though, since you're all good friends and some might even laugh at it. The punchline for it is in my portfolio, they let the cover and my first drawn page on, but they won't take any more... maybe I touched a nerve somewhere.



Quality really takes a hit when it's posted through photobucket, but these wonderfull MyO art approval people seem to not care, and no Scott, they aren't just busy, they've had over half of the week to look them over, and the kirby picture (which I submitted at the same time) was posted within the hour.

Took the day away from campus today, but it's really rainy, it has its own special beauty, but I don't know if I can draw with the weather like this (weird huh?). Expect a colored Kirby soon, I'm gettin' better and better at him.

Well, math test last night, and let me tell you, doing square roots in your head isn't easy. I blame my roommate for this, because...it's his fault. I run out the door with about 5 minutes to get to class and I just grab the calculator as I'm stepping out the door. We have an hour of review before the test starts so I'm not even using the calculator yet. Teacher passes it out and I'm all set to go. I take the calculator's shield off and hit the on button and...nothing. This is what went through my mind: "Huh?! Ok, maybe I didn't push it all the way (nothing again. Holy !@#$, how am I supposed to do this test now? oh crap oh crap oh crap!!" Yeah, I sat there for about 20 minutes trying to do the problems without it to no avail. I'm good at math, but I can't do square roots in my head. Ok, no panicing right? That's always the key. So I sit there for a second and think, that's when I started to pay attention to my music...what? How can music help here? Well, my headphones are battery powered ^^ And they just so happen to use 2 AAA batteries. I practically ripped the things off my head. Thus my resourcefullness saves the day again. Well, I get back to the room and kick in the door all angry to confront my roommate and guess what he took the batteries out for...his mp3 player -.-; I was like, "Just go to the !@#$in' store and buy some!" But, he's quite poor (we are college students, end of the year means we're all out of money) so that's not gonna happen, and I'm not gonna buy them for 'em.

feh, Well, MyO is being weird, it only let me submit my next kirby picture. For some reason, they won't let me submit 4th wall as either a manga or seperate pictures. Hopefully they show up in the fan manga section soon and it's just taking them a little longer to go through the approval process. Then again, it may just not be the "quality" that they want, which would just piss me off so bad. If they don't show up sometime today, I'm writing an angry e-mail.

Have a nice day everybody.

Well, thanks for the Happy Easters guys. I won't go crazy with the "I lub you guys!!!" routine...that's just not me.

I found a new respect for these guys that draw those online comics. Sure, they have the technology (photoshop, I can't get the hang of it) to do it right, but it takes me over an hour to draw just one comic to almost the way I want it to be. Sheesh, well, if you couldn't tell, that means I drew the next comic. For those of you that saw my other one, you won't be confused anymore. You may be a bit angry, but I'm aiming for somewhere between funny and offensive. I'll have an introduction picture for the characters sometime within the next week. I'm also opening up the field if anyone wants to be part of the it. You can send me ideas for: characters (I don't want toooooo many though, so spaces are limited), story lines, jokes, and general drawing tips. All credit for your ideas will be notified when that comic is posted.

Got a D on my Bio exam >.> Not so good. Stats exam tonight, speeches got moved another week back, so the expectations also increased. /sigh Just 3 more weeks. Then I get to focus on fun stuff, make money, and get back in shape.

Bah... I'll go visit some people now.

I hope for snow ALL winter and it decides to dump on us now. It's APRIL!!!!! It shouldn't be snowing in April!!!! And on a weekend to top it off. -.- even if it wasn't a weekend, it's not on the streets. Either way I'm going to throw the first snowball of the season...right onto my dad.

Well, I'm sure everyone is busy gettin' ready for Easter. I finally gots my pizza ^^ it's gewd. Well, I've got about 5 acres of lawn to mow...wait a sec...dam, I'm gonna have to shovel it first...;_; hopefully my padre takes pity and says that we don't HAVE to mow.

PS: I know my drawings aren't THAT good, but if I could get you guys to spread the word about them and leave some criticisms, that'd be great. I can only rely on word of mouth for them to get around. I'm not gonna get them drawn well enough to be featured for a while. But, I'm going to try and keep 'em funny.

Too busy today. I have a 4-6 page paper to write before 3 PM. I've got a Bio exam at noon...which I may or may not be ready for.

Ugh...I'm gonna respond to a few comments.

fmarox66: Yes, a gun, it really did happen. Some people are just like that...makes me kinda sad.

Artichoke: I was thinkin' I wasn't gonna let this guy get his way. Bad people need to be taught that they are following the wrong path in life, and I hope I persuaded him to live a better life. heh...persuaded...

Angel Zakuro: My truck is not a junker ;_; I love my truck. I was just trying to persuade (that time with words) the guy that he didn't want it. No luck though... lol, I have to hang out around gamestop, I'm going to work there ^^;

Angel Slayer: Um...did you read the entire post? I'm sorry you had to take all those tests though, I'm sure the paper will be fine. >.> I should get back to mine...

Hoaryu: 8 minutes isn't nearly as long as you think. Once you've gotten past the introduction and attention getter you're usually down a minute+ already. So, it's pretty much just 2 minutes for each section. The problem, what we can do about it, and what it will be like when we do do something about it. Yeah, really not that hard at all.

Ok, I'm gonna go back to my paper now. I've got 2 more pictures up. One of them won't make sense until I get the next one up. So, go check it out, leave comments, don't be too harsh. Any questions send me a PM. Oh, and if anyone is good at coloring...well, PM me if you like to color in pictures and you're good at it, I want to ask something.

Well...I've got some bad news, some badder news, and some badderer news. We'll let things escalate.

Bad news, I have until next week to prepair two 8 minute speeches. O.o I hate giving speeches. Who made public speaking a requirement!? First one is on homelessness. I supposed to persuade people to take action to fix it around here. I think I can ramble for 7-9 minutes on that. I'll come up with a few organizations...I won't bore you with that. The second speech is about Language and Learning, well, I think my group just covers language. But, no one in my group has contacted me about dividing up the section O.o... I may have to take charge and do somethin' -.-

Ok, badder news: You guys remember that history test I ranted about not too long ago...I got a 47 on it ;_; Bastid doesn't know good writing when I shove it down his throat. I'll thank whatever higher power did this, but the teacher saw fit to scale the grades >.> so I "earned" a D. I swear, I'm going to die of something horrible once I hit 30somethin'. Cause I'm usin' up so much luck it's got to be draining life from me. Anyways, on a non-bad note, I had to turn in a few "cultural enhancement" papers (they've been due all semester, I wait until the last night possible to write them ^^). I wrote the first one on "Inherit the Wind", it's about the Scopes Monkey trial. A very good read, I reccomend it to everyone. Ok ok, I got a 3/5 for that one, yep, that's a 60% for you who didn't get it off the bat. Here's the funny part, I've read the screenplay, seen the movie, and done extensive research on that Trial and I get that grade (bastid didn't know which one I was writing about so he graded me down. They're ALL THE EXACT SAME STORY DIP!@#$!!!!!!). I write the second one on the new movie "Flags of our Fathers". I crap out a page and a half, and he gives me a 6/5...I haven't even seen the movie...All I did, was find a little 5 sentence review of it and ran with the premice. O.o I don't think he's right in the head, he's been teaching for 30 years and he can't spot BS? Anyways, again for the math challanged (or lazy, personally I would be the second) I got 3/5 for a paper I new all about, 6/5 for one that I didn't know a thing about, which gives me a grand total of 9/10, which is an A ^^ An A grade for 2 papers, that's never happened before! Woo Hoo!!!

Ok, you knew it was comming, the badderer news:
I got into a life or death situation late last night (or really, it was just a few hours ago). I was off at gamestop grabbing myself an application for a job (w00t for employment) and I come out to my truck and there's this guy standing outside the driver side door lookin' in. What happens next seems like somethin' right out of TV. I'm thinking, ok, this guy was gonna break in and possibly steal my ipod (meh, I can't update the music anymore anyways) or worse my whole truck (I would murder the person who does that, just for future/incriminating evidence). I'll just catch his attention and run 'em off. Thieves are often cowards now adays. I was wrong though.

Me: Hey bud, you like my truck?

Badguy(sorry, I didn't stop to catch his name): Yeah, I see you've got some expensive stuff in there. (stupid me left the ipod in the transmitter)

Me: Yeah, well, if you'll excuse me. (I move closer and pull out my keys)

Badguy: (pulls out gun [no, I'm not kidding]) I think you're just gonna hand those over to me.

My hearts goin' a mile a minute right then. Holy !#@$ is this guy for real?

Me: Take it easy, some junker like this (sorry truck ;_;) can't net you enough to be worth what you're thinkin'.

Badguy: You just hand over the keys and no one has to be the wiser. (he reaches out his non-gunholding hand to receive the keys)

I have 2 choices here, I can hand over the keys, let him drive away, call the cops and hope they get 'em. OR, I can try my luck and defend what's mine.

I went for the later.

I held the keys out for him to take, as I dropped them into his hand he looked over to his left (I don't know what he was looking at, nor do I really care at this point) that was all I needed. I shot my right arm forward to grab the gun by the barrel and twist it out of his hand (suprizingly easy, just so you know). Then more instinct took over and I threw my entire body's worth of momentum into hitting his right elbow. Let me just tell you, the sound of bone cracking and joints dissapearing are never pleasent.

So he's on the ground now, arm bending the wrong way from the elbow down, and I'm phoning an ambulance. He passed out, so the wait for the police was kinda quiet...that kind of stunned quiet. I give my statement and go along my way. There's no pressing charges or anything, I said he's gonna be punished enough and since it was only attempted armed robery, he won't be jailed for that long (if at all, stupid justice system).

Everything seems a bit out of place now (I'm actually getting a little misty eyed, wtf, I won, why would I be upset?). But, I'll move on. Such is my mentality, everything happens, then it's in the past. Remember it, but don't dwell on it. You can quote me on that one.

Well, registration is in the morning (actually about 7 hours from now...maybe I should sleep)...that's gonna be frustrating. Servers never were good when the load was low...

I'll be drawing some more pictures later, so look for them tomorrow.

Subject...Title...Heading...nonsense......
Ok guys I've got some good new, some good news, and some bad news. Which first? ::lots of random orders:: I've got it, we'll balance it out with good-bad-good.

Good news #one:
The math test wasn't today >.> It said on the schedule it was supposed to be, but it wasn't. Instead the class was on Critical Intervals and Proportion estimates ^^ IE: stuff I know.

bad news #ni:
The math test is next week ;_; extending my test schedule from a mind altering 2 weeks, into a psyche breaking 2 and a half...wait...we have speeches next week O.o ::twitch twitch:: I'm gonna go in a corner and cry now...

::sobs a few good sobs::

Ok, good news number3: (like how I did that?)
I have artwork up now!!!!!! It's up in me portfolio, so feel free to take a peek and leave comments. These aren't anything like the stick figure comic. Like I said when I put that up, it was a REALLY rough sketch. More of just a story board. But, I'm not skilled enough (yet) to make the HQ of it. I've got some levelin' up to do in the creativity department before that happens (ding, Brian gained "Concentration"). I don't know what happened yesterday, but I just sat down and drew like I've never drawn before. Usually my sketches look like total crap, but I just ran my "MyO for you" playlist (it's the one on here) and kinda let the pencil do its stuff. I'll be making plenty more kirbys. Don't ask where the other one came from, I drew the sword first, and just got the notion that someone had to be defeated in that picture.

Well, I'm posting wait to late at night right now. I've got a quiz first thing in the mornin' ^^; ::sniffle::
