GAH! Guess what I found out at the Quik Stop today? The cigarette tax has gone up $.90/pack! And apparently (according to Deborah, Quik Stop employee and the nicest toothless lady I know)the tax is goin' up another $.60 on April 1st. That'll bring the price of Camels up to over $5/pack. That's $10/day for me. $70/week. $280/month…
Well, I reckon it's a good thing that after 10 years of heavy smoking, I can just quit whenever I want to, right? Right?
Or you could just get a good friend in Iowa where they're still like $3.50 a pack who can ship them to you in cartons.
@ Skullbie: It's might be going to take them that long just because they're probably just going to replace the whole jack.
My dad has spent the last hour yelling at me about how I set too many limits on myself ( Expecting not to be monetarily rich in a career field starting at about $25,000 is limiting myself. ) and about how I need to grow up ( nevar! ) and get over every little personality and social flaw I have. Apparently this month I need to stop drinking ( I drink once every couple weeks ), learn to accept that people expect me to do things for them without telling me what they are, and learn when not to correct my elders ( As it turns out, there is no acceptable time to do this. ). I also need to get over the fact that I expect everything to be linear and laid out for me and that I'm an incredibly organized person ( At this point, I think he might have actually been talking to someone else. ). That means that I can officially go back to Milwaukee and my visit with my family is over. I actually look forward to getting yelled at like this because it always happens right before I leave and that means I can go back to my studio with all the facilities and tools it has instead of the basement floor.
I just learned about this really really crazy and out-of-this world "conspiracy" I ever saw.
Guess what. OUR PLANET IS A GIANT PRISON. Our planet Earth is really the "hell" of the universe. Because all the "souls" on this planet are basically the "untouchables" of other intelligent civilizations in the universe.
Who is an untouchable?
- artists
- intellectuals
- musicians
- perverts
- violent criminals
- revolutionaries
- free thinkers / thought criminals
- those who are too lazy to do any productive work
- anybody who basically refuses to submit to enslavement through the state or a religion.
lol I didn't know that commies abound in the universe. lol!
And the "prison bars" of our prison planet is this remote-controlled hypnotic mind control device that has different "control points" throughout various parts of the galaxy. One of them apparently was in Cydonia, Mars. It was destroyed only a few hundred years ago. Thats why technology improved SO FAST over a few hundred years.
In short, the human race is already partially free from the hypnosis.
But I dunno if this is true or not. Fuck.
This world is crazy and insane the way it is.
I wont be surprised if the truth is stranger than fiction.
You believe this if you think it makes sense. Disagree with that theory if you want. I'm not forcing any of you to believe this.
Use your intellect. And critical thinking. To filter out all the bullshit. :)
Guess what. OUR PLANET IS A GIANT PRISON.
That's weird. I always thought Earth was a planet that is made out of several different gases, varying in percents, and one of the only known planets that can support life.
Guess I was wrong.
Anyway, I got Page 3 done earlier, and Pages 4 and 5 are about to be inked and finished. Man, I'm on a roll!
Tomorrow, my mom said we can go to the dollar store, and get stuff to clean my room up. I have this huge dresser that takes up a WHOLE wall, and I don't have that many clothes either. It's so annoying when I want to turn my room around.
Also going to clean out my closet, because it's really messy, and we're going to get rid of my computer desk, because I only need my drawing desk. I'll probably just throw my desktop computer in my closet, until I can transfer my music over to my laptop here.
It's lame to be excited about cleaning my room, but I could care less. I'm just that cool.
Also get to hang out with one of my very, very beautiful senior friends (guess what, it's a girl, surprise, surprise) at the mall during Spring Break. We're like, best friends and stuff now too. It's pretty cool!
My site has been getting a crapload of downtimes >/ I thought dreamhost was supposed to be good my hits aren't even that high and it's acting like DD after the site design change.
Ah screw it i'm emailing dreamhost and telling them to change their name to more appropriate liehost or deceivehost
Record convention tomorrow, woo! Going with my bestest pals. :) Not sure what I'm going to do with my dad, though. I'm making him drive us pretty far so I would feel bad telling him to go away, but it might be a little strange for him to stay there with us.
Anyways, hopefully I find lots of cool stuff.
Edit: Hey, it's my one year Drunk Duck anniversary!
Fuck, I'm seriously going to have to get off my arse and wash these clothes at some point. I'm running out of ways to put it off.
Oh hey, Custard is ahead with his work. Silly Custard, don't you know that you're not allowed to be productive? Good thing you forgot you had to use sound so you have to start all over again! Hooray!
The PJs are cute, but I can't exactly wear them in public. Wouldn't feel comfortable even if I was 21.I don't think PJs are supposed to be worn in public, so you should be okay there.
Some jackass went around earlier tonight and spammed a bunch of comments and made about 80 posts in one of the subforums with a bunch of spams. Comic comments are easy to wipe quickly but the forum ones, so annoying. It's going to take me 20 minutes to do. Guy's been banned of course. Still, I'm hungry, and I wanted breakfast now. >:[
I'm signing up for twitter and one of their themes has the EXACT same flower and color code my DD one has 0_o the color code is find but to use it with the flower, that was from a custom pack that's not online? (i think i got it out of a magazine) just odd.
Well whatever *becomes a twatter*
Edit: twitters widgets are HIDEOUS oh my god why
kyupol, non-human aliens would not undertand human thought well enough to be able to distinguish between those in compliance and those remaining rogue and so there would be no point in creating mind compliance technologies to use on a planet full of human prisoners.
On the other hand if there was a race of super advanced humans out there using the Earth as an insane asylum then they would also possess the medical and technical abilities to 'fix' those poor imprisoned humans so that they are in compliance with whatever galactic standard of comportment and thought they hold dear.
Not that either premise would not make for good comics, mind you. But I think that both premises would need work in order to hold together logically.

I see your point.
But according to the premise of that theory, the reason beings are dumped into our planet is because they are just TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE no matter what they do? Why? Its because apparently, FREE WILL of beings is that which cannot be controlled no matter how high your level of technology is. Because a spiritual being (which we all are) cannot be controlled.
Also, for a civilization to have the drive to actually DUMP its deviants into another planet while giving them amnesia (so they will forget who they really are) at the same time – I don't think its a benevolent civilization at all. It is probably a civilization that resembles the likes of Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, North Korea, Pol Pot, and the planned "New World Order" (IMO its not a new world order but rather the "old world" order of feudalism and serfdom). Totalitarian. Despotic. Corrupt. Degenerate. With a very robotic population whose sole purpose is to serve the system.
If you study totalitarian regimes in the history of this planet, they always had a method of re-educating the deviants. Its only if they cannot be re-educated, they are then sent to the camps.
It co-relates a little bit to what I learned studying the bible.
God made us as beings of intellect and will. And that God cannot interfere with the free will of any being in the universe. Something like that.
Anyway its a really broad subject that intertwines with political and religious themes as well as conspiracies.
And yeah. Something like this is a good fodder for comic material – regardless if its true or not. :)
Not to push anybody's buttons here, but I think the whole "PJs/lounge-wear worn in public" trend that's cropped up in the past few years is contemptible. I mean, it's not like I'm exactly the epitome of high fashion or anything, but damn- at least I leave the house with proper pants on! And for that matter: what the hell is up with flip-flops!? They disgust me. Buy some real shoes, you lazy slobs. huh!?The PJs are cute, but I can't exactly wear them in public. Wouldn't feel comfortable even if I was 21.I don't think PJs are supposed to be worn in public, so you should be okay there.
I'm just kidding. Y'all go on an' wear what ya want. I'll just silently judge you. ;)
Bah! The last time youngsters had any fashion sense was during the late 1960s and early 1970s when bell bottoms for guys and gals were in style and fellows wore their hair down to their hips. The hippies knew how to dress for fashion statements and societal defiance. You youngsters nowadays are all imagination deficient whimps!
Heh-heh . . . well doesn't it ever occur to you that some of those men and women in their fifties and sixties might be frowning at you not because you are wearing improper attire in public but because you are doing it so badly and without any flair?
Wouldn't it be a hoot if they WERE comparing your fashion statements of societal defiance to the ones of their youth and finding you in wont of defiance advice? Can't you just see them gathered together over a game of cards or bingo and muttering to one another that in their day and age they knew how to put the SNAP into defiant dressing?
I think it's a cool possibility myself.
…not because you are wearing improper attire in public but because you are doing it so badly and without any flair?See? That's my point!
Now, if the "pajamas" in question were like, an antique slip, or 80's Madonna-esque "lingerie as outerwear"… then I could get behind it. But lose the dumpy sweats, terry cloth track suits, and those yoga pants with writing on the ass, please. ;)
I love those yoga/track/whatever pants on chicks. Now i've seen in done bad(y'know, on like, whales) but it's sexy on the fit girls.
God i miss high school, everyone at my school from the dorms wear them but it's no the tight fitting kind it's the comfortable ones. Eh whatever my school is a sausage fest anyways.

*Edit: Upon further consideration, I have decided that there are very few figures that I do not find attractive in tight pants.*
There was this one girl, years ago, in a painting class I had that immaculately pulled off the "sexy slob" look. She was totally my guilty pleasure eyecandy- preppy type, with the afore-mentioned dumpy sweat pants, Ugg boots, giant sunglasses… pretty much everything I dislike as far as style goes. But she was doing something right, since I still remember her like, 8 years later. ;)
Had a really fun time at the record show. Got The Clash(sealed!), Hey Jude and The John Lennon Collection(it has some songs from double fantasy that I really like and I don't have to listen to Yoko's weird stuff, so bonus). You also see some fun stuff at these kind of things. I saw 3 guys in a row bent over looking through records and their cracks were all showing! One of them was really fat and hairy. :)
What else…oh, I almost stepped on a baby that had been randomly left on the ground and I met a very nice old man who has a record store I didn't know about. I'll have to check that out.
So, yesterday was the day my mom and I were supposed to hang out, right? Well, we didn't really get to. And she said, to make it up to me, that today we could go out and buy stuff to finish cleaning my room. I still have action figures, toys, and clothes that don't fit me in my room. Because we haven't had anywhere to put it. Let's just say we called my closet, Hell 2.
She kept her promise, and we got the stuff. I've been cleaning up my room since 11 AM, and it's now 5:34 PM. My dad also took out this HUGE dresser that took up a whole wall, I really don't have that many clothes, so it was inconvenient for me to have. I have hangers I'm putting my clothes on now. I still have about an half hour, or maybe an hour's worth of work to do.
Did I mention I'm sore from working out from yesterday? Because I have been sore, and working on this room all day. I know I'll sleep well tonight! :D
Edit: Did I say half hour, to an hour?
Make that 2 hours. I just finished.
It's 7:34 PM.
