Also extreme endorphins and adrenaline one feels no pain. Soldiers in combat often won't realize they're wounded until they see their own blood and then feel the pain. See John Keegan Face of Battle and Alexander Rose Men of War: The American Soldier in combat at Bunker Hill, Gettysburg and Iwo Jima. among other works.
My brothers brother-in-law just passed away due to complications from surgery for sepis from diabetes.
And don't remind me about stretching too much destroying your body. I tore my aductor because of stretching for running.

That's terrible about your brother in law :(
Re: no pain in fights-
In my teens I got into a lot of fights and yeah, you tend not to feel anything in the middle of one. You can take huge dammage. The only things that can stop you is physical restraint, getting the wind knocked out of you, losing energy to your limbs (weird when it happens), or being knocked out, which never happened to me but I came close.
Pain didn't come into the equation. I punched a brick wall twice in a row once when the guy kept dodging. There was skin hanging off my thumb but I didn't feel it. it just made me angrier at him.
Just in case anyone is interested, I posted up another tutorial in the tutorials section https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/tutorial/549/ It's a youtube video of me coloring pen and ink line work using Photoshop. I accelerated the recording 4x, then narrated over the video. The subject matter is an industrial design presentation drawing, but the visual style is pretty much the same as what's seen in traditional comic books. This video talks more about the thought process behind creating visual narratives, as opposed to elucidating specific drawing techniques.

Definitely not and we are justifiably proud of our sewer monsters!
For any drawing nerds out there, I put up another tutorial. it's a youtube video showing how I made pages 74 and 75 of my comic, with commentary. https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/tutorial/550/
Pro work as usual Crusader man! Amazing to see how you achieve your photo-realistic style. It's very generous of you to share it with us ^_^

Yesterday while picking up leaves I slammed my mouth into a rusty old tractor swing hanging low in a tree. :(
No real damage apart from swollen kissy lips XD
It hurt like a bastard.
I think I must have updated in the worst possible time in the day and I'm starved for my comments, where are theyyyyy. So frustrating! But at the same time it's a glorious day because BOTH comics are updated. I'm hopeful for the future.
I decided to be whiny in public for a rare moment, a singular moment. I shall try not to feel guilty about that.
February late winter doldrums.
I slipped on the first step of my front porch and went down. I landed with my side on one middle step and it even makes breathing painful. Lots of ice and Advil and I'll recover but it really slows me down.
I had one of my "trapped in school" dreams with no one listening to me and a general feeling of helplessness. A childhood memory. But this time I picked up a payphone dialed a mass of numbers and a voice said "is this ohm-aga " to which I replied "no, it's omega and it ends here."
And artillery shells started landing and blowing things up. I was on a hill and could see houses beginning to burn and the whole place take on the look of a 1940s town with fires and artillery and collapsing buildings. And then the alien spaceships arrived and I woke up.
Hi everybody, guess I wanted to drop by because I was bored on a night-shift and I remembered my password.
It's been long, late 2013-early 2014 ish? since I last logged in/checked the site. Maybe I'll stick around, but I'm not gonna make any promises or anything.
So what have I've been up to this 4-5 years? Couple of things:
* Took part in foundation of a leftist/socialist political party, that hasn't really gotten anywhere and decided to leave it because of a family tragedy.
* Changed my life because of said tragedy and moved back with my folks in the small village I grew up in, sorta got motivated to live healthier and happier.
* Started working as a PCA(personal care assistant) in said village for about year and a half while finishing my degree in social work
* Was kinda forced to take a side in my parents divorce (not by choice) but the best thing to come of that I really got to know my parents, as persons and I have actually made better, more intimate connection with them on a individual level, much more when they were a couple.
* Moved back to the capitol to work as a specialized PCA(the degree) in establishing a care-home for disabled folks that had multiple diagnosis. Most of them had a mental illness + other mental disabilities.
* Worked in said home, also as the union confidant for about a year and a half and had take part in some serious work related incidents. The biggest was a semi-hostile merger with another care-home that took better part of 2016. I experienced burnout there.
* Transferred myself to a new care-home, this time a new home designed for people with autism and who had history self-harm and violent related behaviors. Going strong for a year now.
* Am also still working in the private PCA service that I worked in when I was in uni, and I do more management type of things there than I used to do.
* Met my fiance two years ago and we've done bits of traveling together and for the last year we've been renovating hour home.
So yeah, that's that. Happy 2018 (in march)!
I hope you're not injured Bravo. You poor old guy ^_^

Wow! Good to have you again man!!! Sounds like you've had an amazingly interesting time man!
We'd love to have you interviewed on the Quackcast as a returning ducker. We'd also love to have you do a new version of your DD Quackcast theme.

Well life kinda happened. Yeah, I'd love to do something with the theme when (or if) I have time.

In fact there's been the reoccurring theme of not being able to fly high enough. I have to deal with things and not just run away. Sometimes you have to see through the narrative and solve the issue.
“no, it's omega and it ends here.”
And that is when the dream shifts into lucid dreaming. I hope you took advantage of being in the dream realm and tried to fly after that point.
Still, hearing a voice say something like omega is a little scary.
I fly in my dreams too. Except in those dreams, I end up indoors or in a cave, where flying means diddly squat. Not sure the symbolism behind that, but it always sucks. (And it's always something I'm using to try to escape – usually from people after me BECAUSE I can fly. So it's a ridiculous frustrating loop.)
I have a job interview Tuesday. Hearing nothing from federal positions at this point. I know the NPS always suffers for funding and has some really specific criteria/preferences at times (like location, veteran status, and some positions just for recent graduates). Anyway, I'm interviewing for a part-time job at a nearbyish (45 minute drive) science museum. It's with the state government, and it is better than minimum wage. It's a really neat museum, so here's hoping. I scoped the place out with my dad today. We had a blast playing with the interactive exhibits, and I geeked out with the girl at the info desk in the natural history wing (we talked about bats and snakes and cockroaches and deep-sea monsters).
Good luck with your job hunting Vickie!

It's funny, when I fly in dreams I know exactly how to control it: it's something magical and impossible but in dreams it's as natural as walking, even though there's no way to ever experience that kind of flight in reality- swimming comes close but it's not quite there, and it's noting like skydiving with a wingsuit or parachuting. Maybe micro-gravity would come close?
That's interesting to me…
I 'd love a simulation that could take advantage of that.
I used to fly in my dreams ALOT!! And they were so realistic! I would sometimes lucid dream, and I could see the aerial view of my city below, and I could consciously pick out familiar streets to follow from above…!! An annoying thing though, I'd always end up having trouble gaining altitude. I'd crash into the tops of trees, into power lines, or I'd only be five feet above the ground sometimes, heading for something hard, and couldn't rise up…
I'm certain this says a lot about my inner-self haha… I don't really fly-dream anymore, and I both miss it and don't miss it!!
