Here goes nothing....
Okay, DES posted some cool stuff about herself on her site and I thought, "hey, I guess I'll steal her idea and post some fun facts about my boring self!"

1-I am huge! I am 6'3" and weight 240 pounds! Not too many people mess with me I might add!

2-My favorite drums are the Tama Rockstar series. I'll take mine green with Remo heads and a DW5000TD double bass pedal

3-My favorite guitar is the Gibson Les Paul studio model with Elixir 10 guage strings.

4-My first car was a 1992 Honda Civic, white in color. My current car is a 1993 Honda Accord, which is green.

5-My computer is a Sony Vaio, model PCV-RZ24G. It is a Pentium 4 2.66 Ghtz with 512 MB ram, 120 GB HDD, and a dvd burner.

6-I can bench press 285 punds.

7-I have a black and white cat named Colly.

8-I had a gf this time last year, but she decided she would rather hook back up with her ex-bf than stay with me......

9-I have $12.67 on me right at this moment.

10-My favorite music is newschool punk including NUFAN, Lagwagon, NOFX, and.........Sum 41. There! I said it! I'm not ashamed! I like Sum 41 and there is nothing you can do about it!!!

11-Both of my parents died before I was 13 and I lived with my grandparents until I was 21.

12-My favorite foods are fried catfish and okra!!! I also love fajitas with lots of pico de gallo.

13-My cable internet connection downloads at 3.6 Mb/second.

14-The best movie I have seen this year is Pirates of the Carribean. The worst: Matrix Reloaded.

15-I love both Star Wars and Star Trek. Go figure.

16-I've never broken any bones, but have had stitches twice.

17-I hate RPG's, especially (gasp) Final Fantasy!

18-I have brown eyes and hair and still cannot grow a full beard.

19-My favorite amplifier: Marshall Valvestate with Mesa Boogie cabinet.

20-I moonlighted as a backyard wrestler for a while in the promotion I helped found: Brunswick Hardcore Wrestling. My wrestling name was Erick the Redd (like the viking). We even got on a couple of local news shows and in the paper twice!

There you have it. 20 things you didn't know about me. I'm going to go play GT3 now.

Time for an update methinks!
Alrighty then! Here is the next page of my manga. You can see why this thing took me forever to do (and I'm still working on it as we speak!). As always, please comment. I really do pay attention to the compliments and criticisms. I am interested in everyone's opinion. Ok, well, enjoy! Laterz!

On the road again.....
Well, my bike is running great for a change. I rode it to Savannah, Ga, yesterday (about 80 miles) and had no problems, though I did almost run out of gas! I went to our bass player's house to see what he was up to. We haven't been able to practice much lately because of school and work. I am really hoping we can all get together this weekend for a much needed practice........I am working on some new fan art right now, but I can't seem to get (don't laugh) Cell's butt right. Not that I really wanted to draw his butt or anything, it's just the way he is posed. Unfortunately, all of my drawings come from out of my head (I don't copy other pictures) so I'm not sure how his legs attach to his hips. Oh well, we'll see how it turns out........I got an A on my first human anatomy test!!! It's quite a miracle considering that I thought I did really bad on it. Some of the answers I put down were just guesses, but somehow I got them right. I've always suspected I was a genius! Now about that Algebra test........I finally broke down and bought the Cell Games on VHS. I had been waiting for them to come out on DVD, but it doesn't look like they will ever be released. With the Cell Games, I now own every single DBZ episode on either VHS or DVD (1-137 and 261-276 on DVD/138-260 on VHS). I guess you could say that I really like DBZ! Anyway, what's your most prized anime collection? Let me know! Ok then, laterz everybody!

Hey guys...
Man, thanks alot for all the compliments.....I truly feel loved! It's been a little over a week so you know what that means.......UPDATE!!!! This is the next page of my manga. I love Mr. Satan, he is sooo funny. About the manga itself, I really had little idea where it was going from page to page. I would get an idea for a page and draw it, with no real conception of where it would lead. It was, in a sense, free form writing, but with pictures! ^-^ Anyway, let me know what you think ok? Oh, btw, Have any of you seen the new Spider-man show on MTV? I was just wondering what you think? I personally love the animation and being a huge Spidey fan helps too!! Laterz!



Oh, I also made the pic bigger so hopefully you will be able to read my sloppy handwriting! Cheers!

Hey super cool ppl checking out my site!!
I was just going through some of my old boxes of crap and came across something interesting. I have told everyone that I am in a band, right? Well, the band I am in now is fairly new. I started it a couple of months ago. Before then, I played guitar and drums in another band called The Midget Fan Club. We all lived in Hollywood CA in one big house! It was pretty cool. Anyway, while I was there, I drew an album cover that we used for one of our MP3.com cd's; an album cover that I just happened to find whilst rummaging through my stuff. The premise was to draw all of us with our instruments in a DBZ style. I thought the pic turned out really well. The inset is of course a real pic of the band we took one fine, sunny CA day (I, being the drummer, didn't get to have a guitar, so I am just holding my stupid sticks like a jackass). Eventually I was forced to move back to GA and I had to quit this band. As luck would have it, two other members ended up moving back too and that is when we formed the new band here (essentially the same band except for the guy on the left in the real pic).



Oh well, this is my boring life. Posting my lame life stories on the net in the hope that someone will find it remotely interesting.

Update time!!
I know everybody has been chomping at the bit to see the next page of my manga......RIGHT???? Um, jk. Anyway, this page will probably look familiar if you have checked out my fanart page. I really like this one. Let me know what you think......All hail the Atlanta Falcons, who kicked some Dallas ass today! Just 15 more games and they will match my Madden 2004 Falcons win record this year! Football season; you gotta love it baby!!!.......We recorded a new song yesterday. It took me at least 10 takes to get the drum track right. I was so mad, I had to take a break! Finally, I got a track down that I didn't hate (still sucks though). We recorded bass and rythm guitar today. I wrote the song, so I can't wait until it's finished (it's gonna rock).........I was flipping through my Shonen Jump and decided to read some of the other mangas (besides DBZ and Yu Yu Hakasho) and to my surprise, found that both Naruto and Sandland are pretty good! I still don't like the pirate one (they all have freakishly huge and frankly disturbing feet!!) but the other two were quite enjoyable.......Ok gang, I'm done rambling. I hope you all have a great week (I know most of you are still in HS and all I can say about that is that I am sooooo grateful to be done with it!!!!) and don't worry. The weekend will be back soon enuff! Laterz!

YAY!!!
Well, I just got one of the new PS2's yesterday with the network adapter in preparation for GT4. My old PS2 finally gave up the ghost and died so, there you have it. I've been playing the heck out of Madden 2004. If you like football games, this one is by far the best I have ever seen! The new playmaker control is awesome! It's funny, because in art class we are making a Reliquary (basically, it's a box to contain something of great significance). I decided to make a Reliquary to my favorite PS2 game and am making a playstation 2 out of foam board! It's going to be tight when I am done........More from the broken bike files: Well, I managed to replace the rectifier myself and the bike ran great for a few days. Then, I noticed a puddle of gas under it the other day (needless to say, that is a bad thing). I had to remove all of the body pieces to find the leak. It looks like the gas is leaking from the fuel petcock (the little switch that turns the gas tank on/off). So, I am going to have to order a new one. It has just been one thing after another.......I found a great site for all you GT3 fans out there. It is www.GT3times.com. I thought I was great at this game, but apparently there are actually people out there who are better than me! Just need some more practice I guess.......Well, I guess that's all for now. I'm gonna go play my new PS2. BTW, if you like my comic, please feel free to let me know about it in the comments (or even if you hate it, lol). Oh, and get outside at night and check out Mars. It is closer now than it has been in 60,000 years and will not be this bright again in our lifetimes! Look SE around 10 pm and bring some binoculars if you got em! Ok, laterz!


Haha! Krillin is so funny!

What's up fellow Otakuites?!?! I've been really slack about updating this site and my fan art page because of school and my rankings have suffered for it (ouch)! Oh well. I'm sure someone will come to my site again.....eventually........Ok, ok, update time!! I know this is what you all have been waiting for (drum roll please). Page 5 of my DBZ fan manga! I've gotten alot of questions as to how long it is and all I can say about that is that there is ALOT more to come! So check out this newest page and enjoy!



I got alot of practice drawing Gohan and Videl while doing this manga. Can you guess who my favorite characters are? For that matter, who is your favorite DBZ character?????

Oh man
Wow, it's been a while since I posted anything, eh? I guess that would be because I am so boring that there is nothing of note to say on the matter. Oh well. I went to school all this week and it sucked! I have shitloads of homework, my teachers are all psycho brain suckers from another planet, and all of my classes are at least 15 miles away from the friggin parking lot! Man, I can't wait until these 2 years are over with!........I've been getting alot of very nice feedback on my artwork and like I have said before, I really appreciate it. I work really hard on my art and it is really nice to know that you guys dig it. I am going to go ahead and release the 4th page of my fan manga today (don't worry, this thing is loooong). I hope everyone enjoys it. This was my favorite page for quite sometime. I really like the Gohan/Videl kiss. Let me know what you like or hate about it ok? Laterz!

Not ready for school......


Well, school starts tomorrow. I'm actually kinda nervous because I haven't been in school for 6 years!!! I graduated HS in '97 (yeah, I'm old), and have been working ever since. I finally decided to go to college and get a degree so that I can actually make some good money. Anyway, I only have 1 class tomorrow so it won't be too bad.........As promised, I am going to post the third page of my manga now. I really like the art of this page. It took a while to draw, but the time spent was worth it. Let me know what you think. Later guys!
