So much horrible stuff is happening to me right now, all ironic.
I'm swimming in an ocean trying to keep my head above the water, but I keep getting sucked under. I gotta keep paddling since safe dry land is right there, and drowning not an option.

Also I hope this emo phase ends soon, sure metaphors are neat to use but I miss my old happy 'lol whut?!' self.

EDIT: shit i'm so sorry! I thought it was some random non-DD comic.God i suck.

I'm in the middle of working on a semihuge 3d animation (more shader than geometry heavy, which is what makes it so hard), and the entire thing is REALLY reliant on perfect time, since it has to sync up with parts of some music. But because I have to splice it all in with other clips, I don't know exactly how long I'm going to have to have it render for. This means that I'll have to go with the longest possible estimate.

Not only that, but there are some dead spots in the music I'll need to edit out, which I am COMPLETELY unfamiliar with doing. Even MORE frustrating is that some of the clips I need I need to actually figure out how to get, since there are no high enough resolution versions online and at present I can not capture them myself.

All this for about 1m30s of video.

I don't like the ocean. Things in it are scary.

so i got wasted last night. and it was good. i was at a club. danced with all the girls and i got three phone numbers, one girl wanted to take me home with her. my buddy stopped me and told me she prolly had an std(s). then i spent the night hitting on a girl named vera. cute. and when i decided being sober was a better idea. i started drinking water. when i was less drunk than before, my buddy decided it was time to get really drunk…and that was the first bad decision of the night.(morning) when i was good and trashed again, i found my cellphone. for some reason i started going thru it, and found an old text message from my (ex)wife. it made me think of what she's always said, and so i forwarded it to her. to my surprise, she replied. and then i replied, then she asked if i was drunk. so i called her, and spent (apparently) an hour on the phone, crying about what she's done to me, and how it hurt me. i dont know how my buddy got her number, but he called her and talked with her to clarify what i was saying. apparently he was on the phone with her for like an hour. and i cried. i dont know why i was so depressed. granted alcohol is a depressant. and then i woke up at 2 pm, got taco bell, picked up my car from the club half an hour away, and then came home to play on the computers….

Damn, sev - glad your back home safe!
But you be careful with them benders, 'kay?
My little bro wants to have a drinky night sometime soon, before his tour of duty starts, and I think some drunken calls to exes are in his future, too. You have a lot in common.

The ocean only scars me when I'm swimming in it… Big waves terrify me, I admit it. -_-

Looking at it is cool. Sailing on it is great fun! :)
Swimming around near big dumping waves, or even swells that look like they'll turn out that way is not fun.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel. I like the ocean and all but I wouldn't want to swim in it.

I don't like to swim in dark lakes and stuff either. I keep imagining tentacle monsters and dead bodies.

here's my rant!

When I get home my dog knows it's me, because she knows what my car sounds like. So she get soooo wiggly and excited and if I'm unloading groceries (like I was today) I'll let her out the front door to prance and sniff around the cul-de-sac. but I hate when I'm all "Union, time to go back in" and she runs away and goes and pees in someone else's front yard.

Wanted to see Kids in the Hall with my ex this May, down in the Detroit, but the minimum ticket price is $105, and they kinda peak at close to $200.

Probably just going to veg at her place and watch the DVDs, I guess.

so I had the idea to save some money and have my wife trim my hair.
Well…
worst idea ever.
My wife hacked my hair so badly…
I had to shave it down completely.
I am 6'5" 250lb bald white guy.
I feel like Lenny from Of Mice and Men all I need is a pair of overhalls.

You should find a guy who looks like George and Curly so you can complete the set.

Do self haircuts ever work out well? I remember I did the Mohican I had a few years back myself. I suppose that one depends on your opinion of Mohicans.

Not enough left…?

By all accounts my half-head haircut made me look like a mental patient.

I just re-read Jurassic Park for the first time since I was eight years old.

That in itself is a self-explainatory rant.

Posted at 7:04PM, Apr. 29, 2008

so. i'm in a dillema….part of me wants to call one of the girls (whos numbers i got on saturday)…but also because of saturdays fiasco…(ha funny)…my wife is talking to me again….and things are looking okay… on top of that, i have a friend who likes me….really likes me….and she's making it akward for me to talk with her….even tho before she admitted it, we could carry on a conversation without being flirty or anything….and the problem is, i dont want to lose her as a friend, and i dont want to flirt back…because i do have an……..attraction..(non sexual)….to her…and so if i allow her to flirt the attraction may grow….so here i sit, with more girl troubles at one time than i have ever had in my life…..i thought this stuff was supposed to end when you got married…

also my apartment was trashed, cause as i bought stuff this weekend, i didnt throw away, or move anything….so i went on a cleaning spree for about an hour….and then i got lazy….so everythings half done….and i'll pry finish it soon….

I can never - ever - meet a woman who likes the same things I do. There is always some huge unavoidable flaw, and although I know there is no one to blame, it still infuriates me. I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for this "relationship" shit, I never really have been. I was with one woman for two years, and really the only other true relationship I've had besides that has been on again/off again since I was 16.

I really really just want someone I can connect with, and I doubt I'm going to find it. There isn't anyone here that I've ever felt that way about, and those that I have are almost always so far away there is no point in doing anything at all. It's just that I can't shake this feeling that I deserve to have just a little bit of happiness and I'm not getting my fair share of it. Call it self centered or whatever, but I'm just so damn tired of letting every woman who comes into my life walk all over me and then toss me to the side once I've served my use as a filler boyfriend/fuck buddy/someone who will shower them with attention and free stuff.

Girls are icky. :)

I finally got the damn computer monitor I ordered last Thursday. The titheads had posted it to me instead of using a courier like a normal computer place… The idiots are in the same city for goodness sake!

Apparently I "missed" the posty, so I had to pick it up the the post office… It was heavy -_-

I also got another 3 gigs of ram: 2 extra for my bedroom comp and 1 extra for the backup… But my bedroom comp had apoplexy. Didn't like 1 gig modules. STUPID THING! The computer guy said it'd work fine when I gave him the motherboard model number…

Eh. So now the backup comp is filled with the 3 one gig modules and the bedroom comp has its old two 512s plus two from the backup. I HATE fiddling around putting ram into things. Such a pain in the arse. All works now. But I doubt the backup will get much use out of that ram…

TAXES

FGAEWIGAERGJEWRGIJWERHGJEORTJEORGKEASVERGOHEGKSERGPKALWEPT!

Work sent me the wrong T4 slip, didn't have the right SSID on it, right amount of tax paid, right amount of income. EVERYTHING was wrong, but it ended up filed anyway, so I have to refile everything when they get me the right slip. I am SERIOUSLY GOING TO SET SOMETHING ON FIRE.

I just found my old old school essay in an old CD from 2002.

That school short story is that which sent me to the principals office and had 2 "social workers" (look more like cops if you ask me) waiting there for me. I was asked all kinds of stupid questions on whether or not I do drugs or am involved with gangs and such. All because of a stupid short story.

It was about this guy named BOY ABNOY.

He wears a ski mask, a BDU (battle dress uniform… that camouflage thing that soldiers wear), and has an AK-47 as a weapon.

That whole story is basically about how Boy Abnoy was beaten and humiliated all throughout his school days and how he got revenge on that lead bully by stabbing him 50 times and dragging his corpse then throwing it in the lake.

His revenge didnt end there. He also kills that bully's father during their wedding anniversary. By putting alot of bullets into his body.

I'm telling you its crazy sick stuff.

After that drama I had over at the principal's office, I decided to write a sequel to Boy Abnoy… in another school project.

This time it was a long poem all about what goes on in the mind of Boy Abnoy. The original short story is 3rd person while this sequel is 1st person.

This time around, I wasnt sent to the principals office. The teacher this time told me how much HE LOVED my work and he gave me a 90 for that!!!

I still remember his words: "You know what, I wouldnt be surprised if I see you in the news getting handcuffed and dragged into a cop car".

And I'm like… No way. I'm not really violent in real life. I just write violent stuff but I'm not really violent!!! lol!

I took that as a compliment though about my writing ability. But I tell you now that I can NO LONGER write the way I was able to do it. Since I got used to writing the scripts of my comics something like a shakespeare play format.

BOY = cuz he's of the masculine gender
ABNOY = from the word 'abnormal'.
