                <description><![CDATA[ I think my life is finally going to start working itself out.  If I can get my act together, I may be able to audition for what seems to be a pretty sound band.  And maybe finally make music.  That would be great.  it just takes getting my act together.  Because I'm an easilly embarassed person.  And I'd be worried that they wouldn't like me. . . so it would take a lot of confidence boosting to actually sing in front of them.  But. . . I think I could pull it off if they gave me time.<br />
<br />
And I'm writing at least one essay.  Going to try desperately to get myself published.  I would like that a lot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I've decided I'm going to do a few new projets.  I've decided on a . . . loose translation of "Lateralus" (song) and the songs Disposition, Reflection, and Triad.  Also, I'm going to attempt another loose translation of several of the songs from My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album--most of which will just be images of one or two particular lines from each song; but it should amount to lots and lots of difficult and hopefully challenging--and completed--art.  And that's always a plus for me.  And following those I'm also going to do some fan art of Artemis Entreri and draw an original creation--well, not so much, but for me--The Hunter.  Which (both) should be fun.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so for the past three days I've been writing a lot of bad poetry.  But I've been thinking a lot of bad things.  And the only way to get rid of them, it seems, is to articulate them in to very ugly words.  That are hardly articulated.  But I'm afraid of those words--specifically, afraid that people will read them.  But. . . I figure I should put them out there, hopefull deal with these things bouncing around in my head--hopefully heal a little.<br />
<br />
But, I can say that I am pleased by the fact that I am so aware of my deteriorating condition.  Makes it much easier to try to fix it.  Also, it makes it much more difficult--especially since I am completely alone right now.  Utterly and vastly alone.  But, since I'm able to write bad poetry, that must mean that I'm feeling the pain, allowing it to work its way into and out of my body.  I hope.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I really hate people now.  <br />
<br />
Why can't people just respect the idea of religion even if they don't like it?  Why do they have to ridicule it?  Why do they have to make fun of things they don't understand?  <br />
<br />
I'm not a Christian, I don't respect the New Testament as scripture, as the unyielding word of God.  I'm not Jewish, I don't believe the Torah is the word of God, no questions asked.  But I do believe that they are the best accounts of our history that we have.  Else, I don't think our race would have fought so hard to protect them.  The Jews used to fight fucking wars to protect that book.  Why can't people just respect that as something important?  Why can't they question the beliefs?  Why do they have to go and ridicule all who believe in a God by calling him a pervert?  Why is that?  Why can't people just shut they're fucking mouths when they think these things?<br />
<br />
Why do people feel the need to re disrespect Islam, and Hinduism and Buddhism?  Why do they feel the need?  I don't understand.  And it hurts.  Being a spiritual person, and seeing all these people not only throw /they're/ spirituality away, but attempting to destroy someone else's?  What the Hell is wrong with people?  <br />
<br />
...I've got to stop.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah.  I think that about sums it up.<br />
<br />
Dealing with antisocial personality disorder's not easy.  Especially when you have both sides of the coin--both extremes of the coin.<br />
<br />
So, I think there's going to be a poem/drawing about this in the future.  I just need to find the words/image I want to use to describe it.<br />
<br />
Any help from anyone would rock. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Isn't it somewhat strange that a  predominantly non-Catholic nation  celebrates a VERY Catholic holiday?  I  mean, St. Valentine's Day...it just  seems to me, with how much this nation  really doesn't like catholicism, that  we would not celebrate its Saints and  martyrs and such in a nationaly  holiday.<br />
    It's very strange to me.  I'm not  going to stop celebrating it - it's a  great excuse to buy my girl something  special, but...it just seems that this  is the Christmas in July that jewelry  companies need to stay in business.   This holiday seems more about sex and  candy (hehe, good song) than about a  saint that had something to do with  replacing Cupid.<br />
    Now, as should now be evident, I  know little to nothing about Mister  Valentine other than he has a very cool  name.  Any help on this matter would be  appreciated.<br />
    Ahhhh...Capitalism.  Ain't it great? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ When someone you love asks you for  something, but someone that says they  are close to this person and know how  they truly feel says that what they  want is for you NOT to do what they say  they want...what do you do?  Do you  give this person what they want...or  abide by the other and not give to  them?  <br />
    If, when the outside person says  you are destroying this person with  your actions, but the person says you  are making their life better by doing  the things they say you want, who's  right?  Who truly knows and who is just  saying what they want to say in a vain  attempt to "protect" the person you  love?  <br />
    When you do things for a person out  of love and they say they are accepting  them for that same love, when someone  tells you to stop, do you?  Or do you  just do it without letting the second  party know it's happening?<br />
    Anyway, I'm confused, and I think  it's eating my mind.  Oh, well. ]]></description>

I'm  tired of seeing the freakin' "Elven  script" crap.  I tired of seeing people  with nothing better to draw than the  Lord of the Rings people.  Honestly,  other than the fact that you can do it  and make it look good, I don't think  anyone really cares what you think  Legolas looks like.  <br />
    So...in all honesty, am I the only  person that's just sick of this crap? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been working on something of a  project lately.  I call it "Birthing an  Angel".  I figure that if one were to  become an angel it would be a long,  painful process, but well worth the  pain.  <br />
    Through my relationship with my  girlfriend, I've realised that all  things worth having are painful, long  in coming, and hard to obtain.  <br />
    So...I began doodling one day to  see if I could draw a person crouching  down on their heels with their hands  flat on the floor.  Once I did,  successfully, I might add, I began to  fiddle with different  angles...different degrees of bent  over, you might say.  What came out of  it is I could very easily draw someone  in extreme pain.  <br />
    I then began to wonder if I could  draw a head at different angles to the  shoulders and the shoulders at  defferent angles to the head and so  forth.  I was successful in my "circle  sketches" as they will appear once I  have the time to scan them.<br />
    Once I had discovered that it would  be possible for me to draw a person in  different stages of deep pain, I began  to wonder what the person would look  like if he had wings at the end and  sprouts of the wings (in varying sizes  depending on the stage of growth).   Once this happened, the idea for  "Birthing an Angel" was born.  I've  been drawing a stage a night for three  nights and I believe I will draw  another stage later today and then one  tonight.<br />
    At any rate, there will be seven  stages - no real symbolism on my part,  but I like the thought of a week's  worth of progress.  <br />
    And lastly, I can officially  conclude that I have left the stage in  my life where I was totally dependant  on anime's simplistic, minimalistic  style.  <br />
    Oh, and I've kinda taught myself  how to shade. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, I'm waiting for my Precalculus  class, and I've been looking through  some people's galleries...and it's  stricken me that way too many people  like anime and use it in their drawing  styles.  Anime is great...for a while.   But...man, I am soo tired of seeing it  everywhere.  I can understand younger  people (like myself - sorta) and  learners useing anime-style, but man,  once you have enough talen to pound out  anime all over the place that are  better than some of the T.V. shows out  there, it's time to hang it up and  develop your own ability.<br />
    Arg...and don't even get me started  on gothic.  Is it just me, or was  gothic not over well before this  fucking CENTURY?  Damn, I'm so sick of  seeing blood and girls in black.  Get a  fucking life you stupid people!  Damn  it.  Learn something artistic.  Express  yourself with some other way than over  priced, teenage-angst commercialism!   Shit...<br />
   Okay, I think I'm done. ]]></description>
