hey everyone. sorry I havent been able to update in awhile, I've been busy.

with alot of fucking schoolwork.

but hey, only two more weeks, and summer will greet me with a hello. I might be able to see my Ash this summer too! ^___^

other things I've been hard at work with, I'm working on two mangas based off of both of the Bloc Party albums [ Silent Alarm and A Weekend In The City] here's the plot breakdown:

Silent Alarm

1. Like Eating Glass: this is the opener, it starts off with Ash in a dusty, old flat [apartment] crying her eyes out while she has flashbacks of a relationship she and Felix had.

2. Helicopter: Felix is driving away from their old home and the relationship, all the while having a tirade [angry speech] about how she messed up the relationship

3. Positive Tension: They confront each other at The Club where they argue about their failed relationship, in front of their friends.

4. Banquet: They go their separate ways in the club, Felix and his friends have precognitive visions of one night stands with the girls they stare at

5. Blue Light: The two have realised how stupid they've been to each other, and want to be together again.

6. She's Hearing Voices: Ash begins to hear voices from the meds she is taking for her depression, in order to rid herself of these voices she burns down the old flat that they both lived in

7. This Modern Love: Felix realises that having all these other girls trying to replace Ash isnt working, so he sends her an apology note.

8. The Pioneers: The government is up to bad things; Felix brings all of his friends together to start an uprising against the government’s totalitarian ways.

9. The Price Of Gasoline: The government decides to bring the price up from $3.00 a gallon to $30.00 a gallon, as expected, Felix gets pissed off and heads to The White House, not wanting to just sit there, Ash puts aside their ruined relationship and helps Felix with the revolution; chapter ends with massive fight scene at The White House

10. Little Thoughts: While beating the crap out of the oppression, Felix thinks about their failed relationship and Ash does the same, they know they want each other, but they cant have each other cos they've now gotten into new relationships.

11. So Here We Are: The fighting's over, and they forgive and forget about their mistakes, they start anew.

12. Luno: One of Felix's old girlfriends comes home to find him cheating on her with Ash, at first he tries to explain to the other girl and it doesnt work. So he beats the other girl nearly to death to get the point across.

13. Plans: Ash wants to leave Tokyo, and go to London, but Felix is completely oblivious to what she wants, so she tries to beg him to leave.

14. Compliments: Felix realises how boring Tokyo has become so he packs up the house and they both leave to London.


A Weekend In The City

1. Merge On The Freeway [Disappear Here]: The two become bored with living in London for five years, even with the excessive partying and drug usage.

2. Hunting For Witches: The two begin to witness some funky shit [buses and subway trains exploding, other acts of terrorism] going around town, they call on their friends again to do some cleaning.

3. Waiting For The 7.18: Ash has been called on an assignment in Paris, which leaves Felix by himself for quite sometime, his life becomes mundane and boring, so while waiting for his morning train to arrive his wishes everyday that he could hang out with his friends, for just one more week.

4. The Prayer: Upon getting his wish, Ash, Felix's friends, and himself head of to The Club [The same one from Banquet] and his friends try to score while he and Ash dance the night away [with some very overly sexual moves]

5. Uniform: The guys and ash head out to the mall, but while walking around, they see that everyone [strangely all of them being teenagers] are emobots, Felix decides to talk some sense into them, after bumping into like the 1 millionth one.

6. On: after beating the crap out of the emobots, the group sinks to a low, they head out to get some cocaine, they speak their minds while they are high during this chapter.

7. Where Is Home?: in this chapter, one of Felix’s friends are shot, not just cos of random violence, but it was a hate crime, he's very frustrated and he decides to get retribution on his friend but he notices he cant get away with it cos he's coloured.

9. Sunday: Felix comes home to London, and is waking up from a bad nightmare, he realises that Ash is hung over and still asleep, he finally realises how much she means to him.

10. I Still Remember: Ash is killed by a drunk driver, Felix is hit pretty hard by the accident, he has very vivid flashbacks of the time Ash and him spent together while walking through Saint Leonard's Park, the same happens to Ash but vice versa [Felix dies instead of her]

14. The Once And Future King: Felix comes out victorious from the fight and for that he is sent back to his body.

15. Skeleton: Ash dying from a drunk driver never happened, Felix realises that all that happened from chapters 10 to 13 was just a dream.

16. Tulips: Ash is upset on their wedding day; she thinks that he isnt ready for her, and vice versa. he reassures her by buying her a bouquet of tulips

17. Two More Years: The two become very successful CEOs of two major companies, but they are sacrificing their relationship by putting work first, and they dont get to spend much time together, they promise each other that in two more years, they will quit their jobs and pick up where they left off.


the main characters of the manga:

Felix

Ash


I havent picked out any of the supporting characters yet.

I'm still looking for animators, and support characters.

the first story takes place in Tokyo
the second story takes place fives years later in London, there are many time gaps in the seoncd one as well as a few setting changes.

yep. I'm hard at work on that, and I'm planning my 16th party which is scheduled for 15June07 instead of 12August07 because my friends wont be here and I wont be here I'll be in Hawaii for a week for a surf trip/family reunion. I'm really excited for the trip.

I was going to orignally going to have a Backyard BBQ but, since the landscapers I hired have been MIA for who knows how long, I've focused on a house party with two different compititions going on: a DDR comp, and a Guitar Hero II comp.

I'm really ecited for the party cos I'll be playing my first accoustic set. ^_^
but the downside is I havent picked the five songs I'll play during the course of the party.

well, that basically sums up what I'm up to for the summer, I just cant belive that it's two weeks away.

Now: On
Artist: Bloc Party
Album: A Weekend In The City
