                <description><![CDATA[ Kinda forgot about this whole dA thing for a while.  All I really use it for is talking on the forums anyway.<br />
<br />
Thinking about writing a few oppinion essays on some edgier topics floating through my pseudo-philisophical brain.  Religion is a big one, though I'm afraid of being hunted down and secretly eliminated by either the Bush administration or the Vatican. (I kid I kid.....

                <description><![CDATA[ I havn't been that active lately,  mainly because I screwed so much up on  my account.  So I've decided to start  over.  I'm going through all my  favorites, contacts, devwatches,  messages, etc. and getting rid of  everything I don't like anymore.  Some  of the stories are probably gonna come  down too.<br />
<br />
I *will* write the next chapter in  Luther..... ]]></description>

Twinkletoes (don't ask...) aka. Fathead  aka.

                <description><![CDATA[ I had just got back from class today  when the urge to write hit me.  So I  did, and what happened was not my usual  style.<br />
<br />
The new story (which I eventually  decided to call 'The Things I Do') was  inspired by personal feelings I have  and the strange things that these  feelings can make someone do.  So go  read it, I hope you like it. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As a writter I sometimes find that  strange voices attached to ideas rise  within the shattered husk of my mind,  voices that demand gratification.  The  latest of these is a story line  inspired by both the computer game  Arcanum, and the old story of Jack The  Ripper<br />
<br />
So over the past few days I've been  hammering this story out in a sort of  pilot episode (as is my style) to test  the waters.  I'm still planning on  continuing Luther though..... So incase  anyone cares it'll continue to run at  irregular intervals. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah it's up.  I'm not altogether  pleased with it though.... One day when  I can't sleep I might redo it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the second part of the title is  about something at the student pub  called "Thirsty Thursdays".  Basicly  this means $9 jugs of Pilsner  (whoopie.....) and $2.50 highballs  (WHOOPIE!!!)  So after I "tie one on"  I'm up to my drunken antics again.  People tell me I won a dance contest  for a jug of Pilsner, and chugged it.   They also tell me that I met someone  and we seemed pretty lovey dovey......  They also say that she gave me her  number.... Too bad I don't remember ANY  of this, and too bad the note I found  in my pocket had something spilled on  it and the note is unreadable..... I do  vaguely remember someone hot sitting on  my lap at the bar..... Someone owes me  for this.... Someone owes me big.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Waking up this morning was not a  pleasant experience.  My alarm went off  at 8:50, aparently I set it that  late... Which wouldn't be a problem if  it weren't for my class at 9.  So after  convincing the room to stop spinning I  ran to class... It was uneventful.<br />
<br />
After class I went to Heroes Pub for  lunch and met up with some of my  friends from the Frat to discover that  I am (aparently) the best dancer some  of them have ever seen when I'm  drunk... I guess there's something good  to everything.  They also introduced me  to someone I "had" to meet.  She was  nice, from the 5 minutes we actually  got to talk before I had to run home to  work on a sociology paper.  At least  she was hot.<br />
<br />
After working on the paper I was  invited out to watch Kill Bill with  some friends since I'd never seen it.   I figured "Why not? So many people like  it it has to be good."  I'll never  trust logic again.....  The thought  that it is such a pop culture hit all  but obliterates my faith in the future  of humanity.  Quintin Tarentino should  be dragged out in the street by his  hair, sodomized, maimed, and eventually  shot for dropping that steaming load  onto the mainstream circuit.  Let me  mathmaticly prove it's success.....<br />
<br />
Swords + Women + Fighting + Tight  Outfits + Asian Setting = Throngs of  awkward adolescent male virgin teens  willing to shell out for reference  material for their next wet dream.<br />
<br />
Do not try to convince me it was  artistic/brilliant in it's  simplicity/just good fun.  The movie  was about as enjoyable as a 2 hour  conversation with good ol' George  Dubya.... Who I will talk about in my  next post.... ]]></description>

<br />
This week is going so unbelievably bad.   I havn't talked to most of my freinds  from home in a coon's age (pardon the  expression), and I've got tests and  projects coming out my proverbial  chute.  I really should have listened  to my friends/councelor/parents and  taken 4 courses instead of 5....  Damn  you people for always being right!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ On firday I went to see KMFDM at Heroes  pub in Kamloops.  It is now monday and  I'm still deaf in one ear.  It was a  blast though, and KMFDM is arguably one  of the best live bands I've ever seen.   I'll never forget joining the mosh pit  and getting savagly body checked onto  the stage and through the lead singer's  electric drum set.  Thankfully a quick  gesture convinced him and security that  it wasn't my fault and I didn't get  beaten to a pulp and scrapped off in  the back alley.<br />
<br />
In other news, I drink too much.  But  because of my radical alcohol  consumption Luther 3 is coming along  nicely, expect it in a week or else you  can take late marks off. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah.... it's been up for a while now  but Luther Part 2 has only registered 5  hits.  I hold the lack of any real  cover art responsable, since most of  dA's denezins can't be bothered unless  it has pretty compilations of angles  and colours.  But I digress...<br />
<br />
University sucks major ass, and not the  way I like either.  I have a quad mate  who's about 5'4 and maybe 110 pounds  soaking wet in a winter parka.  He's  presently dating a 6'2 BEHEMOTH of a  woman who looks like a female sumo  that's let herself go.... Suffice to  say their saturday ritual of playing  'hide the sausage' and seeing how loud  they can be about it is leaving me with  serious mental scars.  I'm currently  devising a way to get revenge without  getting caught..... I'm pretty sure she  could kick my ass. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I managed to get it done in a sudden  burst of creativness I had right after  watching Boondock Saints.  Though I'm  not sure why.... Oh well, it seemed to  have worked.<br />
<br />
I think I'm falling into a writer's  pitfall though.  Even though I'm  writing the stories as chapters in a  book, I'm afraid that the episodes will  fall short of the expectations of their  predicesors.  Though I'm sure this is  just my deep seated belief that I will  always fail (where the hell did I put  my pills?!) I can't help but let it  bother me.<br />
<br />
So what the hell are you still reading  this for? Go see Luther Part 2!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There are better places for me to put  this... But i decided to put it where  people almost have to fucking read it  and noone can post a fucking negative  critique I'll have to look at.<br />
I am so depressed right now that I  decided to start drinking until my  heart stops, unfortunatly I ran out of  Gin, Kahlua, and Bailey's beforehand so  I decided I'd rant.<br />
Doesn't it always seem to go that no  matter how much you care for someone,  they will always snub you?  No? Well it  just must be my fucking luck then.  See  I just finished really caring for  someone to have them decide they were  going to go back to the A-hole who's  been mistreating her and making her  feel like the reverse excrement of a  certain arabic land mammel for the  better part of a year.  And this is the  story of my god damn excuse for a love  life ladies and gentlement, now in it's  3rd year of reruns.<br />
It always happens for whatever  reason... I try to be the best person I  can only to have it kicked back at me  as they go to some jackass who thinks  with the smaller head on their body.   I'm not saying I'm perfect, if you've  been reading my journals you'll have  noted I have some issues but at least I  care more about a woman then how she is  in bed..... Fuck I hate this....<br />
Don't like that I posted this on dA?  Fuck you and deal with it.  I got this  little hole in the web for free and  it's mine to do what I want with until  they become a payed only site. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was about to post part 2 when I  decided to read it.  Turns out I wasn't  as coheirant the other night as I  thought I was.<br />
See, here's the story.  Some friends of  mine from the home town came over to  visit and we started drinking.  So  after they leave I decide to hammer out  part 2 while heavily under the  influence of "Bombay Sapphire" and  Hawiian punch.  After writing for an  hour I decided it was done and crashed  backwards into my dorm bed and fell  asleep..... So I wake up today with a  splitting headache and an eye twitch  and go to my english lecture.... So  after getting back I take a look at my  drunken scrawlings and decided to start  over.  I'm sure my readers will  appreciate my extra effort. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since I'm having alot of problems with  Night Train #62 I've taken a hiatus and  began working on a more fanciful story  line.  Namely LUTHOR.<br />
<br />
Now I'm going to warn people in  advance.  Some of the imagery might be  disturbing and or disgusting, and  future chapters may get worse.  Keep in  mind that it is my story, and I can do  whatever I want. <br />
<br />
In life news..... University is  cool.... but the dorms suck.  More to  come at a later date. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here's my life thus far:<br />
Moving into rez for university in 35  hours.  Because of all the hustle and  bussle that moving brings I havn't had  much time for anything.  I only just  managed to see my friends today and get  the word out about my going away bash  tommorow.  <br />
<br />
Speaking of which.... Playing Doom 3  while drunk with friends is a bad  idea... Especially if you shriek like a  woman....... Not like me of course....  Honest... Oh yeah, and DDR is also a  bad idea while you're wasted too....  Take this down, there'll be a test  later.  And Kahlua comes up yellow.<br />
<br />
Since I'm having such a hard time with  Chapter 1 I've decided to lay the  pencil down on it for a while and try  writing some unrelated short stories to  get my creative juices flowing.  I'll  no doubt have lots of time for this in  my first few days in rez considering I  do not make new friends easily. (Note  to self: Esure total autarky of rez  room upon arrival) So yeah, stay tuned. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just in case anyone noticed..... I  havn't been on alot lately.  The reason  for this is the fact that directly  after I spent $700 upgrading my  computer the damn thing decided it was  it's time to kick the bucket.... So  another $300 and 4 bottles of Gilbey's  London Dry Gin later, it's "working"  again.... Though my games still  crash.... Oh yeah, and I lost all my  unfinished work too.... Chapter 1 has  thus been delayed..... again.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ All I can say is Oh.... My....... God.   Seriously, if you are one of the few  gifted who can run this game at it's  full potential tell me about it.  Even  on my Athlon 3200 and Radeon 1600Pro  this game looks stunning, not to  mention very, very scary.<br />
<br />
The only bad thing I could say about it  is the stability issues I am  experiancing.  The game crashes without  warning and I can only hope this will  be resolved with an upcoming patch.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah.... Chapter 1 is coming too by  the way. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I do not ever fall in love..... I  plummet.<br />
<br />
As I sit here and try again and again  to finish the first chapter of my soon  to be epic masterpeice <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> I am becoming  tangled in a real life novel all it's  own.  A woman of no small graces has  viciously plied her affections unto me,  and I will gladly admit that I also  find her company very pleasant.  On one  hand: we think alike, we're attracted  to one another physicly, and we are  very open with one another.  On the  other are less favorable conditions.   Namely the fact that I'm leaving the  small town we share in less then a  month to not only attend university,  but to enlist.  Last (and in most cases  least) is the presence of her deadbeat,  cokehead boyfriend who choses to show  his affections by sleeping with other  girls and raining verbal abuse on her.   Needless to say, the situation is very  confusing.  The carefull deliberation  and untangling it requires has  swallowed all but the most finite  amounts of my thought.  If I could  write romance, I'm sure I'd be an  overnight success. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plotting.gif" width="18" height="20" alt=":plotting:" title="Hmm. Evil plotting in progress." /><br />
<br />
In other news, I have acended past the  paramount landmark of 50 page views. *A  single tape roll flies as a deadpan  brass band drones 'Pomp and  Circumstance' in the backround.* and  yet my pilot episode has only  registered 9 lowsy views and only 2  comments.  I would expect that if  someone took the time to find my page  they'd at least take the wopping five  minutes it would take them to read my  one and only deviation.  And for those  who did, would it be that hard to write  a comment?  I put it on this site for  feedback, and the idea of not getting  any from my readers truly vexes me, and  it annoys me too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fork.gif" width="37" height="18" alt=":fork:" title="Stabbed with a Fork!" /> So please, please,  please, PLEASE make a comment if you  read my lowsy stories.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I hate tourists.... 'Nuff said.<br />
<br />
For all 3 of my fans(?) thus far, I'm  planning on having Chapter one of Night  Train #62 done in about a week.  My  main problem so far is getting it to  resemble an actual chapter in a book.   This is my first attempt at a novel,  and some of the intricasies are giving  me alot of guff. (Did I just say guff?)<br />
<br />
In other news, I might (MIGHT) have a  very talented young artist doing a  preview pic for me.  I'm keeping my  fingers crossed for this one as I like  her art style and I think it would help  draw a few people in to both our pages. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If I ever say anything that people  remember and take to heart, I hope it  is this: Don't work at Denny's.<br />
<br />
My home town is currently hosting an  annual softball tournament that leaves  an open invitation for every jackass  and skinflint in the province to come  and trash the town.  It also seems that  there's a clause in the invitation that  says they all have to eat at Denny's.   This translates out as an extra two  hours of work for far too little pay.   Not much I can do about it since the  alternative is working graveyard at a  mill...<br />
<br />
On actually DA news..... There is no  news.  I havn't had much of a responce  on my tester thus far.  If I was as  talented visually as some of the people  I marked as favorites, I'd probably  have 50-100 pageviews by now.  I think  what I need to do is get someone to  draw a symbol of some sort that I could  use as a preview pic for my stories so  that my fans (provided I ever really  get any) could identify my work at a  glance, instead of stumbling blindly  over the generic DA Prose & Poetry image  that doesn't tell you anything.  If  anything I'd probably have to do an art  trade, and last I checked not many  artists would trade for a story......  Ahh yes, we must all suffer for our  art.<br />
