I haven't slept for nearly 2 days now. And I've been trying very hard to get some sleep. Nothing's working for me.You and me both.

Comic Talk and General Discussion
The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
watched some episodes of GI Joe and its newer Sigma 6 cartoon.
It makes me wonder who funds Cobra? Where are all the hi-tech weapons and funds used to maintain an army coming from?
Its never discussed.
What if both sides are really funded through one source?
I also find it amazing how every combatant especially Cobra foot soldiers can't shoot for shit. WHERE DO THEY LEARN HOW TO SHOOT?!?
But on the other hand, the tanks, helicopters, planes, etc just keep blowing up and the pilot ALWAYS manages to eject seat.

This always happens in shows like that. Look at Star Wars for instance. A whole platoon of stormtroopers firing at the heroes but none of the shots hit…
Some of the Filipino movies I've watched in the past are weird like that too. Who ever heard of firing 100+ shots without reloading from a 9mm beretta??? My father also tells me that when they reload it's only for "dramatic effect"…
We used to have admin meetings on Skype, it was always super late for Oz thoughLate/early… It depends. At that time in the morning, thoughts can have a lot of trouble getting to the vocal cords lol!
It used to be too late for you too.. So the Plat guys would go off, then you, and then the rest of us would discuss toilets and laugh about bodily functions. -which actually made me feel quite ill -_-
Sleep… It's 5:42am right now, I think I'll try for some more.
I doubt it will Skull. Year-end stress is pretty normal, and if you're in decent health it's not usually anything bad for you. Usually stress gets to making your stomach feel acidic if you've been drinking too much caffeine and not eating enough.
What is it about women that they can sense the moment you enter into a relationship and begin making advances? I've had two women offer me a free drink in two different coffee shops today and my behavior, appearance and attitude hasn't changed in the slightest in the last two weeks. Normally I'm Mr. Indistinguishable. I'm curious to know exactly what part of a woman's brain has the ability to recognize a change that has no physical or behavioral indicators, and then makes them do something different towards a person than they normally would. Women do this sort of thing to other people who have relationship or social changes occur too, so it's not just me being more charming or anything I don't think.
I'm going to spend the next couple weeks intently watching women trying to figure this out, probably only making the effects worse with the extra attention. lol!
PENCILS FOR #3 ARE D-O-N-E. Stick a fork in that mother!
Good job Hyena! I have yet to finish pencils to ANY part of Chapter 2. Ah well. I'm all happy though.
I've been keeping up on my working out, actually just got back from a run. And notice a difference in my energy, and my body seems to be getting stronger. Which is you know, supposed to happen. But it's weird that it's actually happening before my eyes.
Dang it. I have economics homework to do :(
I think I'll eat an apple, do my econ homework, and pencil some pages. Sounds good, yeah?
Oh, and I haven't gotten to talk to that hot girl today :( Either of them. It was a rather bad day at school.

Filipino gangster films from the 80s - 90s are the best.
I remember the good ones I've seen (there's subbed copies available):
- Anak ni Baby Ama (Son of Baby Ama)
- Hari Ng Selda (King of the Prison Cell)
- Manila Boy
- Bad Boy
- Carnap King
- Alega Gang
- Grease Gun Gang
- Akin ang Tondo, Iyo ang Cavite (Tondo is mine, Cavite is yours)
- Isang bala ka lang (I'll kill you with one bullet)
- Utol kong Hoodlum (My brother is a crook)
- Barumbado (Asshole)
- Ang Probinsiyano (The man from the province)
- Hinukay ko na ang Libingan Mo (I already dug your grave)
- Alyas Pogi (also known as "handsome")
- Utol (Brother)
- Iskalawag (term given to corrupt cops and military)
And you gotta love it when you see a lone gangster fight a gunbattle like he's some kind of a trained spec-ops soldier (just because he's the main character). Just how does he learn to fight like that? Growin up in the mean mean streets of Manila? lol it takes YEARS of specialized training to learn how to shoot like that!!!
Taking out 20 or more goons all by himself… and then the cops arrive just when the rival gang is all dead.
It takes an entire clip of an M-16 (all direct hits) to kill the main hero or the main bad guy (if the main bad guy is a corrupt cop or soldier). As if they've got more HP or something. And meanwhile, it takes one 9mm bullet to kill one of the bad guy's goons. And its not even a headshot!!!
lol!
What is it about women that they can sense the moment you enter into a relationship and begin making advances?Dude- I don't know, but it's true. They know. And they will come after you. And they won't stop ever, until you are dead. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the "evil temptress" gene that exists in all female DNA. It's a scientifically proven fact.
It is true. I was just friends with this one guy…until he started going out with another girl. Then I made my move. We have been going out for 3 years now.What is it about women that they can sense the moment you enter into a relationship and begin making advances?Dude- I don't know, but it's true. They know.

There's apparently a glbt club at my school…I really want to go it's just.. i dunno.. Maybe i'll slowly walk by and see if they look nice/are some females.
Some guy caught me looking at the really rainbow poster for it though(it broke my gaydar when i walked past) He slowed his walking and looked at me as i 'suddenly had a keen interest in the vending machine'.

just grow a pair and go. What do have to lose? Are ya afraid of being judged or made fun of by others. I thought you had more "I'm the shit!" attitude than that.
Seriously. Time to be your own wo-man! your probably feel less stress I bet.
Just get yourself a decent sandwich or something with a good mix of meat and veggies, along with a drink of something like milk and it'll help with your stomach.

My inner sociologist is intrigued. Maybe I'll even find enough to get the beginnings of a comic or something.
I'm always taking second place to my younger sister. I've barely been able to talk to my dad at all in the last few days. I keep asking if we can hang out but he always has to take my little sister to swimming, or put her to bed, or he promised he would play or whatever.
The following is the opinion of Hyena Hell, and is not intended to be representative of anything remotely resembling a fact:
I think it has to do with the availability of a commodity and the perceived value of said commodity. In this case, lba is the commodity.
As soon as something is desired by others, people think it's worth more. If there's a limited quantity or limited access to this thing, then people want it more. The consumer society we live in has conditioned us to feed off this kind of impetus; instead of constructing personal value systems, we automatically look to the majority consensus to determine what is worth possessing and what a fair price to pay for this thing is. Even though lba is obviously an awesome guy, the women in his vicinity didn't catch on until they saw another chick had recognized this quality. Having seen that the precedent had been set regards to the validation of lba's attractiveness as a potential mate, they realised they'd totally like to break themselves off a piece of that hot mess.

DIAMONDS!!! OVERPRICED PIECES OF ROCK!!! :)
I think I'm getting better at coloring! At the least I'm not quite as bad as before. Huzzah, every little bit counts!
And not once have I consciously noticed a guy seeming different when seeing someone. Also, once I see that a guy has a girlfriend, he just appears unavailable. I'd rather meet someone lonely. XD
The depression's really getting to me guize. I tried to talk with my dad about it and he just waved it off as a bad excuse for my failing grades. I've been seriously considering suicide recently. Good thing I've always decided I'm too much of a pussy to follow through with it.
Of all the damned things I could have packed away to "get ahead with the moving process", why the bloody hell would I have packed up my inks and nibs? Like "Oh, gee- it's not like I'll ever need to… ink anything! Nope." I don't even remember packing them- so there's a possibility I didn't; but then again I don't remember half the things I do on a daily basis. And I'm not digging through the 20 or so boxes up in the attic labeled "ART" to find that crap.
Sucks 'cause I'd finally gotten the balls to ditch the microns and ink all legit style. I mean, the fading of the felt pens doesn't matter so much, because I use so much linework after the initial cartoons are inked and the pencils are erased. But bottom line is the pens still makes it really hard (if not impossible) to get that crisp, punch-you-in-the-face, scan on the B&W setting without fear because "honey, you ain't losin' none of them lines!" contrast.
Also I realise that I'd accidentally gotten 300 series instead of 400 series Bristol, and was hopin' that the ink would be less prone to feathering than the pens. All this probably amounts to minuscule differences that no one but me can detect… But still.
Now ten people are going to tell me that none of the above would be an issue if I worked digitally. ;)

No matter what, find a better option than suicide. Even if you're feeling like crap, other people would be devastated by that. And you're still young, too. I'm not going to say life will magically get better when you're grown up, but there's plenty of time for it to improve. Just find the things that make you happy and focus on them. When you're having bad thoughts, talk to good friends and blast out your thoughts with loud music. Have you talked to a therapist? If you're considering suicide, you should definitely talk to someone.
Skullbie, that's horrible! I'm sorry. :(

Good thing I've always decided I'm too much of a pussy to follow through with it.There will be a shit-ton of people who will avoid talking about it, accuse you of being too down, or play it off like you can "fix" it with "something you like." Not all people are aware of how it is not only to feel despair, but to be unable to conceptualize what happiness would even be like.
So there's a chance they can't understand how you feel, or feel a need to avoid it - but that doesn't mean that they don't care about you or that it wouldn't severely hurt them to lose you.
EDIT: Jesus, that's also awful. That's terrible.
