So apparenlty there are no plans to release Demon's Soul in Europe. And it's too expensive for me to import it.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Why is this? It looks amazing too. I'm a sad panda.

You'd think that cutting off all connections, deletion of all e-mail, pictures on my phone (even the "fun" ones), and refusal to answer any text that was sent to my phone would be clue enough to someone that I want to forget them…but no. The biggest fucking slap in the face is that she "accidently" sent me a picture of her shooting a rifle, when that was the BIGGEST point of contention between us, seeing as she hated firearms and only accepted my carrying of one because I had to being a cop. So, I ended up blocking her completely…

Of course not before old wounds opened full force. Like I needed that. This is why I refuse to allow people near me. She is the one person since high school I allowed to get close (dated for 11 months and was even thinking of asking her to marry me) and got screwed hard. She used everything, EVERYTHING, I feared and hated against me because she knew what they were.

A lot of things going on is just life, I know, but going through it and many of the other things are just extra on top of it all. At least in November I can apply to Colorado State Patrol again.

The person who said she'd bring me the balm never did, but she DID say "I can't promise I'll be able to", so I couldn't hold anything against her. It's not like I actually expected her to, regardless. Good news is that my shoulder is feeling MUCH better now.

That is incredibly nice of you, thank you.

I don't know when I can get to my comic again…I may end it in this chapter, too. It's motivation, really. When I update, I get a lot of readers, which I feel very grateful for. Between school, work (the job I hate so much), and animations I just don't have the motivation to work on my stills.

Good thing, though, is that I'm making quite a bit of progress on "Street Fighter vs Dragonball Z: When Worlds Collide". The only person I'm missing voice overs for is "Nakoruru", and her computer is fried, but I can get a lot of other things done while waiting.

Time to bury myself in doing all of that so I stop thinking…thinking just keeps depressing me more. I haven't been this depressed since…well…it was a long time ago…

You know…I actually think I'm lonely…

Compared to everybody here, my problems are nothing.

I just have a really pessimistic family.

I think I'm digging this bulking thing. Even though your supposed to eat more healthy foods, I just ate a bunch of whatever foods. Which is weird, because I was used to not eating a lot. So wtf!?!

Also ordered myself a copy of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac after a few people recommended it to me. :)

Since i made a lesbian superhero comic i'm wondering what theme to do next, Amazons? Pirates? Werewolves?

I like the idea of a pirate comic but i'd probably want it to be super short as drawing a pirate ship and scenes from that era is pretty difficult. Amazons would be easier since i'm fairly good at drawing foliage. And i need to pick up a 'how to draw noir' book before attempting the werewolf one.

I'm thinking some kind of journal approach to the amazon one though, maybe set it way back when too.

That reminds me… I wonder what happened to Hyena Hell?

I remember seeing something on The Hub about not having internet. I think she's just been disconnected.

I am going to have the most awesome couch ever. My boss gave me an old wooden shipping pallet, that I cut in half and formed into the seat and back of the couch. The base is made up of a bunch of old plastic milk crates. It's the most awesome looking piece of furniture I think I've ever seen, and it's going to cost me less than $5 to make it. Call me weird, but I've decided to make all my furniture out of cardboard and salvaged stuff like this, and my apartment is pretty much going to look like a hobo got a grunge punk to decorate his cardboard box. It's going to being epically awesome.

Now, all I have to do is go to the hardware store and buy a few bolts to put it together. The only challenge at this point is figuring out how to get it home, 2 miles away, but I'm sure I can find someone with a car or something to help me out with it.

That is absolutely the best idea ever. There will be pictures when you're done, right?

Posted at 3:10PM, Oct. 12, 2009

Oh hell yes dude. There is definitely gonna be pictures. I'll probably toss up a few of what it looks like while I'm working on it too.

I've already got half the milk crate bookshelves finished. I'm just waiting on a few more to finish the rest, then I'm scrounging up some old shipping crates for a coffee table / workbench. I'm still trying to figure out how I might redo my bed and what else to add to the place to bring it all together.

You could probably do Amazonian Werewolf Pirates! Maybe versus Centurion (or any other Roman themed character types) Werelion (sorry… played too much Wing Commander in my day…) Ninjas? Just a thought… :)

Trust me, guys go through all of that too. I think we tend to get better that ignoring it in ourselves though.
Anyway, hats are the answer to insubordinate hair.

I'll invest in a badass fedora. :]

I hate flaky girls.

That's my rant.

F-ing picky math teachers and their F-ing issue with assigning us ridiculous amounts of homework…on top of just being generally a-holeish e_e

ssss~~~

Yeah. Speaking of which, can anyone help me with my math homework? Remember to show your work.

1. x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0

2. x^2 + 10x + 16 = 0

3. 3x^2 - 15x - 42 = 0

4. x^2 + x + 1 = 0

5. x^3 + 2x^2 - 15x = 0

6. 4x^2 - 9x + 28 = 0

7. 100x^2 - 2500 = 0

Oh wow what an awesome concept :0

I just read an article that Hannah montana can unintentionally be a metaphor to being gay, because she's 'out' as hannah montana to a few of her closest friends but has to hide who she is in both of her other double lives as a school student and pop star. I kind of lol'd, but it was a creative input on it for sure.

Clearly all those harry potter yaoi fics stem from harry living in a closet at home.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY DAMAGED PHOTOS I CAN TRY TO MAKE LOOK NICE FOR MY DIDGITAL ART CLASS? If you could scan them in, that would be quite swell.
Also, if they would be easy to fix, that would probably be better, I'll take what I can get.

Calculus makes me want to hurt someone. Stupid University and their required math credits…

Also the school library is colder than the air outside :|

I am tempted to play some FFVII before D&D session… but first I should check out if I'm falling behind with anything *checks his schoolwork schedule* Nope, guess I'm gona find myself a Choccobo…

Yeah… how do they do that? Do the set their radiators on reverse?

I was always the guy who aced the math. It was languages that was my bane. I'm only good with English because I lived abroad for few years. I can't speak a word in Danish or German, despite having gone through years of studying them.

I have something like that in the unfinished/suspended vampire project. Not called a "werelion" though, just a lion shapeshifter. Or actually "a shapefhifter from the Lion Clan".

I used to love math…until I took trigonometry and calculus.

As for languages, Spanish was my first language then English. I studied French and now Japanese.

Though I really can't count French…since I only remember basic stuff that wouldn't help me if I decided to go live there.

Posted at 12:10PM, Oct. 13, 2009

I've always wanted to study Japanese and I've taken couple of online self study courses. At the moment I only know really basic words and greetings and I'm starting to understand the hiragana symbols.

Like I said, my Danish and German are terrible. I can read it and understand the contents but I don't have the confidence to speak it at all. I bet if I move to those countries for few months, I would pick it up fairly quickly though.

Anyone mind telling us the derivative of x^0.5x?

I thought that was a joke. I'm gonna avert my gaze now.
