Why does pop music sound so much better on my radio? :/ I have a great stereo system at home so that's not the case, the mp3 sounds so clear and weirdly clean but it's like, it sounds better with the rumble of my car and slightly scratchy right back speaker.
Lol the song is about accepting imperfections too.
dis one
I guess it could be like with anime, if you watch it subbed you get used to the feel of their voices, and then you watch code gayass on adult swim it's gayain ragetime when Lelouches voice is generic/prepubescent when it should be deep and awesome. :gem:
NUN-NUL-LEEEEEEEE!!!!!

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
I have some inconsequential stuff to rant about now too:
-I need 6 hours of sleep a day. Any more and I get severe migraines. Any less and I'm DOG tired by the afternoon.
I've only recently discovered that's my optimum sleep time. If I'd have known that earlier I'd have been SO much better off. Why don't people come with user manuals? Pretty shitty customer support too. -_-
-My drawing style is getting better. I finally know how to draw male faces.
-Pears are 10X more delicious for lunch than cakes, but messier.
-A national radio celebrity occasionally catches the same morning train as me. He has a great voice and it's really cool to listen.But for some reason on at least two occasions now strange wierdos have struck up conversations with him and while his voice is amazing to listen to, the guys talking to him have had voices so bad that it makes you want to get up and decapitate them to make them STOP speaking. :gem:

All about he texture. :)
So my old First Sergeant is sending me all this anti-Obama, pro-gun, etc, etc email.
At least it's entertaining. So I was backed into a corner and have to do two 12 hours shifts and then a 8 hour shift just so I can have the following weekend off to go to some stupid shore resort to celebrate family birthdays. Mom is 80, sis is 55, bro is 50 and I'm 45. Cousin Maryann is 60. I hate beach resorts especially ones right next to Atlantic City.
Maybe I can catch some topless revues or something. When in doubt go with boobs.
Fortunately no one in my family ever comes anywhere near here so I can type this without fear. Do you honestly think that despite all my exhortations that anyone in my family, (or anyone I know) has actually ever read anything I've ever done? Ha! As if anything I've ever done is worth reading… lol!
Let's hear it for beautiful size 12 women posing nude. Reminds me of an article I read about the actresses in Mad Men They were all encouraged to put on 10-20 pounds to have the more rounded figures of the 1960s. One said that the whole first 10 pounds went right to her tits. Okay all you size zero models, gain weight! Or we will force feed you fried twinkies until you get to a size 6! Every wonder by women's clothes never quite fit right? It's all part an parcel of the biazzare proportions fashion designers draw in and that the models are encouraged to imitate. Okay kiddies time to join the real world.
I couldn't remember if I took my medicine this morning or not. Usually when this happens, I don't take them, because obviously taking not enough is less dangerous than taking too much. Then I go through the day all spacey, discoordinated and anxious.
So this time I said to hell with that took the meds anyway. So basically we're rootin' against an overdose here, kids.
I think I need to just get off that stuff anyway. It's been a year's worth of being perfectly functional, stable, and safe. I'm starting to get bored with myself.
So I just bought a book on perspective for comics, because it is a weakness.
And I realized as the story will be moving into more land and cityscapes, I'm not gonna be able to half ass it like I have been for the past year.
I just hate doing cityscapes. Especially when they are filled with zombie hordes.
glad to see some of you are fraught with excitement over the DD awards too… two of the three I'm nominated for have been stolen from m- er, announced. I just wanna win one!! hah but if I don't I'll just be all like, "I am THAT hip and underground..!! woo"
the walls in the parking garage at work have numbers and equations written all over them in pencil and in white chalk.. I feel like I'm in Russell Crowe's mind or something when I'm down there…
oh and UB, re: your trouble finding work, maybe you should do what I did: mindless temp work!! They didn't even look at my resume! (I know this because after she offered me the job she was like, "oh and we don't have your resume on file…" ) hip hip hooray for wasted intellect!!
My life has now been flipped. I mean, I knew that Jason Mraz is an incredibly cool guy and all, but what I have encountered may have changed my very outlook on him. Just listen to a recent song of his, 'Try try try'. I listened to 10 seconds of it and my mind was blown.
There are soundbites of the anime K-ON! in this song.
K-ON. An anime. A Japanese anime from Japan lol redundancy…in a Jason Mraz song? This is crazy. I mean, probably less than 20% of his fans have even heard of K-ON! And I've checked all the YouTube videos of this song and it they all have that soundbite.
I mean, he did make a reference to otaku culture in his music video 'Geek in the pink', but this is unbelievable.
I may just get a sex change so I can have crazy sex with this beautiful man.*
*I'm not going to get a sex change so I can have crazy sex with this beautiful man.
I'll find a version of this post I like and stick to it eventually. Basically my original assumptions that sex ed was getting pushed out of Utah public schools was largely wrong, and a misunderstanding on my part. Given how they word things on the local news here, this isnt a shock. My favorite was still "Swine Flu - the deadly virus - is on it's way to Utah! How to protect your kids at 10!"
Here is the article that helped me clarify all this craziness.
The Deseret News reports that Utah State Rep. Lynn Hemingway, D-Salt Lake, proposed a sex education bill to the Health and Human Services Interim Committee Wednesday. The bill would mandate that schools offer two sex education options, with parents being able to choose which one is the most appropriate for their child.
According to the article, one course would be abstinence-based and teach students to wait until marriage for sexual activity, but would offer information on sexually transmitted diseases. The other option would promote abstinence but would also offer information on contraception and sexually transmitted infections.
Hemingway's argument was supported by statistics that stated cases of chlamydia increased between 2005 and 2008. "These numbers are frightening," he said. "This isn't a moral issue anymore. This is a health issue."
However logical and necessary the bill is to some, it is meeting opposition by Dalane England, the conservative Eagle Forum's vice president of issues, who called the bill "inappropriate and unnecessary."
Nowhere near as bad as I thought. I did hear this lady speak on my way home though. She sounds very old and very mormon, and I believe one of her reasonings why birth control should be kept out (as it is birth control is optional education if a parent consents) is that "only sexually active people should be educated about birth control."
ow… woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning… literally (my bed is against the wall). And I'm also in pain thanks to taking that Simvastatin an hour ago. My doctor warned me about taking that anti-cholesterol in the morning when it's an evening medicine. Maybe if I hadn't missed my dose last night…
There's too much hate in the world. I was reading up on a wiki article about gendercide. Crazy people. They think they can eliminate one side of the human population and use cloning to keep humanity in the game. I wonder what Nature itself has to say about this? Maybe it'll cause our Sun to go supernova, or better let accelerate the eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera. Maybe Humanity is just bored with itself therefore causing people like them to exist. Or maybe I'm slowly going insane reading too much and not soaking up sunshine. Well, I'd soak up some sunshine if it wasn't raining buckets outside.
Great… dumb beer commercial showing what would happen if it rained beer instead of water…
We had our standard sex ed fair of; 'Sex is bad, look at these pictures of blistered genital warps and puss oozing herpes, that's you in 4 years' in middle school, and then in high school; 'we know you're going to have sex mmkay, but look at the consequences of the worst disease of all; teen pregnancy~'.
Come spring time there was always 3-6 girls wobbling around with a beach ball stomach.
There's also this unspoken universal rule that you're not supposed to ask about lesbian sex when they're going on about gay anal aids and pregnancy, pretty sure it's a law here.

I had a dream themed around this comic last night. It's seriously awesome if a little vulgar, it's about a fat ugly guy trying to get laid, but the psychological aspect and self-loathing of some of the other characters is insane and awesome.

The character Kanzaki's story is also a good argument to the 'nothings original' woe's in A&L :)
I'm trying to improve my artwork and its taking way to long. I sucked at eyes so I started working on them and now I can do okay. Then I went to hair, then head, then mouths but I can't put them together. And I STILL can't draw the same character twice in different positions. And while I'm trying to get better all my comic ideas are piling up damn my over active imagination and my bad artistic skills D:<
I didn't OD.
And as of yet I haven't drank a damn thing today.
And I inked a shitload today. Might finish the page tomorrow at this rate.
I should feel better about myself right now, but don't. Meh.
*hug*
That's what I think you need.
A hug from Ryu ;D

Hot girl at the gas station was there again.
She totally asked me how I was.
And I said in a really, really cool way, "good", and then she like, started making out with me, and then I got her phone number.
And by that I mean, she just kinda checked me out.
I realize she's like, at least 2-3 years older than me.
ugh.

Here is a fun fackt:
AIDs was originally know as GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiancy).
My sex education class was taught by two women who I swear were from some religious affiliation. Three things in that class stand out to me as real "what the christ" moments:
When on the subject of condoms (touched on for a whole ten minutes then never again), one of them said "Well they call it safe sex. But it's NOT. NO SEX IS SAFE." apparently missing exactly why it's called safe sex anyway.
They had a panel of virgins tell us why it's so great to be a virgin.
Made us play a dice game where you toss the dice to see what the result of your ficional sexual act was. 3/4 odds were that you got pregnant or an STD. I rolled herpes. I am not a good gambler.
grrrrrrrrrraaaaarrrrrrrrr. I hate my job. i hate that i don't get to voice my opinion. i hate that, i'm so fricking important "nothing" gets done without me. i can't say no to work. it's like an unwritten unverbalized code. unless you know, i was hit by a truck, while helping the homeless move into my house, which i had donated to houses for poor people. and even then, i'd still be berrated for failing 30 people who didn't get there training.
i'm going to sparring. i'll take out this anger at work, on the unlucky person whom i spar tonight.
A friend of mine emailed me a job opening she found in her job hunting (why she does so much hunting is beyond me; she's the only person I know who has a decent job right now). It's back in my home state of WV and a full-time, permanent job in my field too. I miss WV all the time. The lack of hills around here makes me agoraphobic, and I keep feeling like someone forgot to paint in the horizon. Sigh. Anyway, I applied to it. I'm trying to apply to jobs at the same rate I'm being rejected for them. It's a nice balance. :-P
Really now?! Hhm then that makes it easier. Thanks for the tip Oz :3And I STILL can't draw the same character twice in different positions.Nor can I. :)
Giving them distinctive features helps.
I mean, if they've got the same costume on and the hair's the same etc, no one really seems to care about the rest.
