                <description><![CDATA[ The Mind-<br />
<br />
Recently, I've been spending too much time thinking...<br />
Under normal circumstances, that's no problem... But recently, its been about the most pointless or random things...<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
The time paradox of time travel.<br />
If one were to go through some sort of traumatic event, or have some reason to build a time machine, then the machine exists solely to undo the event that would inspire its existance. <br />
Thereby negating it.<br />
<br />
One can build a time machine not to undo or change history, but build it for the hell of it. <br />
<br />
In doing so, there is no way to undo its creation.<br />
<br />
The mind is a powerful tool... Odds are, it should be used for something better than this POS rant.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>1/10th of the work - </b><br />
<br />
Its bullshit when a person only does 1/10th of the work and claims credit.<br />
Credit is given when credit is deserved.<br />
1/10th of the work deserves 1/10th of the credit, not all of it.<br />
<br />
Put in a DEVart sense, its like signing off on someone else's work.<br />
The other 9/10s, the sketching, the drawing, the coloring, essentially the hard work; the person who does this deserves the credit for what he/she did, the majority.<br />
Before the mark, the artist's signature, the final 1/10th, is made on the piece; hypothetically, anyone can sign off on it. In doing so, credit can be stolen from the true artist. That is bull. The one who does the majority should have the honor.<br />
<br />
----- ----- ----- ----- -----<br />
<br />
<b>A (true) debate... - </b><br />
<br />
Which hero is better, <i>Batman</i>, or <i>Superman</i>?<br />
<br />
People can argue between who has the better origin, history, gadgets, powers, etc.<br />
<br />
But think about it, Superman can only divert disaster. <br />
It has to happen for him to stop it. <br />
Case and point "...Faster than a speeding bullet..."Someone has to be shot at for Superman to save them. The disaster has to happen first, and in the microseconds before anyone is hurt Superman swoops in.<br />
<br />
Batman prevents it.<br />
Batman is always 5 steps ahead, and has a pocket-sized contingency plan stored in his belt, just in case things go to shit. He can use his wit and strength to stop his opponent, and doesn't need to rely on fantastic abilities...<br />
<br />
But Superman can be everywhere...<br />
True, but that fantastic fact can be toppled by the equally fantastic fact that a piece of kryptonite the size of a pencil eraser can kill him.<br />
<br />
----- ----- ----- ----- -----<br />
<br />
What brought on these two separate and incredibly different topics?<br />
The answer, work related frustration.<br />
<br />
Ay work, we produce diagnostic medical images...<br />
With this in mind, two schools of thought are created, both with wildly different respects towards such small a thing... Lead markers, tiny pieces of lead that denote which side is what and who did it.<br />
<br />
The two wildly different thoughts are as such. <br />
The cut and dry thought of the markers is merely the marking of who did what and which side.<br />
The second is just as literal, but with a little extra. That little extra is quality.<br />
The marker is the signature of who did it...<br />
If quality work is produced then by right the person who should be signing off on it is the person who did it.<br />
<br />
Signing off on someone elses work means your own work is inferior by far and youre leeching off the quality of someone else's work.<br />
<br />
It basically means you suck. XP ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The stupidity of some people...<br />
<br />
I work in a hospital...<br />
The ER is one of the most interesting places to work... People come in with mystery problems or freakin' evident problems and the medical staff treats them...<br />
When a patient comes in, the triage nurses/staff take a brief history and ask why they came into the ER...<br />
Some of the reasons are questionable...<br />
...Questionable as in wtf is wrong with you?<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
1. <i>Slipped <b><u>3</u></b> days ago.</i><b> The it-didn't-hurt-until-now-type...</b><br />
I understand it to some extent... It doesn't hurt; insurance and medical bills are crazy expensive; as long as its not an inconvenience, why get it checked... But sometimes, when its swollen and it hasn't gone down, in fact its gotten bigger, get you ass down to the ER...<br />
<br />
2. <b>MVA</b> (Motor Vehicle Accident)<br />
Its unfortunate, but this type of accident can't really be avoided...<br />
One may be the most careful driver, but that doesn't mean the other person isn't...<br />
But when the accident is your cause... Whats done is done.<br />
<i>It was snowing really, really hard... I just wanted to get home faster...</i><br />
Winter is a crazy time in the ER, kind of a high point for respiratory problems (flu, pneumonia, etc.) and MVAs (due to loss of control)...<br />
A wintertime MVA can be avoided by defensive driving... Fuck the other person behind you, if he/she honks at you, fuck them. If driving at 20mph and keeping a 4-car space gap is what you think is safe, do it. If anything, if that person stays behind you, you saved their life.<br />
<br />
3. <b>ME</b> generation parents....<br />
Its hard to describe them... They seem too characterized by hands free cell phones, blue tooth earpieces, (if female... usually is... (possible reason being the husband is the full on bread winner, and married her for her hot body) hip hugger/low rider jeans, high lights, expensive shoes/bag, possibly a skank brand (lower back tattoo), a body hot as freakin hell and you don't know how they squeezed that kid out of their pussy...<br />
They usually ask how long it takes for results; scold their kids for having to bring them to the ER, demand it to be made priority, pull favors from friends of friends who know doctors who know other doctors who know the radiologist(s)... Request films to be brought to their orthopedist...<br />
<br />
What would posses a parent to yell at their own kid for getting hurt and in doing so cause appointments with the athletics (yoga, Pilates, tennis, etc.) instructor, spa treatments and hair appointments to be rescheduled because life is so stressful and split ends are such a problem...<br />
<br />
They epitomize the term <b><u>BITCH</u></b>.<br />
<br />
I can't seem to rant anymore...<br />
Thats it for now. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>Viola! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicious studies of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the various multitudes now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. </i><br />
<br />
Arguably the best line in a good flick.<br />
<br />
Maybe some fanart is in order... <br />
After May of course... ¬_¬ ]]></description>

<br />
<b><u>Movie Cliches:</u></b><br />
If the hero must scuba-dive to search for an underwater shipwreck or treasure, creepy Brian Eno music will inevitably play.<br />
<br />
All WWII movies will contain an African American, Italian, Irishman, Jew, and boy from the Deep South. <br />
<br />
All Romans and Ancient Greeks spoke in upper-class English accents.<br />
<br />
Many slasher films show a scene where the lead female stumbles unto a room where the killer has stashed the bodies. Usually, the girl searches the room and finds a body. She steps back in horror and bumps into another body. She then steps back and finds yet another one. This continues until she's found every corpse in the room and/or bumps into the killer. This usually happens as the girl starts to realize what is going on.<br />

May is gonna be a bad month for me in school...<br />
Three months of lessons crammed into one, plus (approx) three finals/midterms that should have been given several weeks prior are being given without adequate preparation time...<br />

Trial by fire... ¬_¬ <i>ya!</i><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Its been too long since I've updated...<br />
<br />
School/work is keeping me too busy, but every now and then, I'll try to get something postable done, and post it.<br />
<br />
Recently, I've been going crazy over anything with martial arts...<br />
Not Jet Li or Jack Chan movies, but the campy movies from the 70s and the older power rangers seris...<br />
<br />
Expect some Shaw Brothers fanart, and maybe even some Sentai stuff, stuff along those lines are probably gonna be posted until I'm off that topic...<br />
<br />
Until then, enjoy Pai Mei vs. Wei <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/view/21746244/">[link]</a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

...pretty sweet.<br />
<br />
I went through all the gallery stats  and whatever other features a  subscription has, I guess I'm not  really missing anything...<br />
<br />
Thanks to Raucci, I'll be posting some  new stuff...<br />
Technically, its not new; its the  same crap already in my gallery, but in  color. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
In my mind, its kind of cool that  there is so much great work and kick  ass artists whose work I like...<br />
<br />
Again, in my mind, all that great work  those artists produce...<br />
...Makes me want to do more, make my  gallery as good as my favourites list. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Due to my current, mixed situation, I  now have the time I need to draw  things...<br />
So my original constraint on finding  the time to draw is gone...<br />
But my problem now, is what to draw...<br />
<br />
I'm tapped out of ideas...<br />
<br />
So at this time, I'll be taking  commissions...<br />
I'll draw almost ANYTHING.<br />
<br />
My work is not the best, so if you do  decide to tap me for a commission, it  will be of lack-luster quality, crud at  best...<br />
<br />
Which is why I am not charging  anything... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm kinda at a rough point with my  work, so please excuse the incredibly  low, low quality of my work...<br />
<br />
I apologize in advance for the crap I  will be submitting.<br />
<br />
So if you are going to comment, please  keep it respectful.<br />
<br />
In regards to the post Rock Lee...<br />
I had found picture of Hellboy that I  had drawn (and recently posted  (thankyou Raucci))...<br />
<br />
I wondered what Rock Lee would look  like if he had huge fists, reminiscent  of Hellboy. : P<br />
<br />
In my opinion, I think it came out  crappy...<br />
...and to be honest, I should've placed  it under scraps...<br />
<br />
In the future, look forward to stuff on  this site that is better in quality and  quantity (in comparison to the stuff  that is online right now...).<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Think about this... You may not realize  it, but it's 100% true. 1. At least 2  people in this world LOVE you so much  they would DiE for you. 2. At least 15  people in this world love you in some  way. 3. The only reason anyone would  ever hate you is because they want to  be just like you. 4. A SMiLE from you  can bring happiness to anyone, even if  they don't like you. 5. Every night,  SOMEONE thinks about you before they go  to sleep. 6. You mean the world to  someone. 7. If not for you, someone may  not be living.8. You are special&unique.  9. Someone that you don't even know  exists, loves you. 10. When you make  the biggest mistake ever, something  good comes from it. 11. When you think  the world has turned its back on you,  take a look: you most likely turned  your back on the world. 12. When you  think you have no chance of getting  what you want, you probably won't get  it, but if you BELiEVE in yourself,  probably, sooner or later, you will get  it. 13. Always remember the compliments  you received. FORGET about the rude  remarks. 14. Always tell someone how  you feel about them; you will feel much  better when they know. 15. If you have  a GREAT FRiEND, take the time to let  them know that they are great. add this  as a comment to ten of ur friends  tonight and at midnight your true love  will find you. Something good will  happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get  ready for the biggest shock of your  life. Whoever breaks this chain letter  will be cursed with 10 relationship  problems for the next ten years... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Haven't really been able to put  anything on paper or screen.<br />
So, to those of you watching don't  expect anything soon.<br />
<br />
I'd like to get some stuff up lately,  I've been tired, burnt-out, call it  what you will. A lot of shit has been  happening, and its been keeping me  from drawing...<br />
School...<br />
Relationships...<br />
Those are the biggies that are keeping  me from working...<br />
<br />
One would think that those would be  definite priorities, but to me...<br />
Drawing is part of who I am, what I do,  and I can't keep give that up.<br />
<br />
I'd prefer not flunk out, but rather  than study, I'd like to draw, but as  much as I like to draw, I want to be  with her. However, I have to study...<br />
<br />
How do I allocate my time? What comes  before what?<br />
<br />
I guess I've got stuff to sort out...<br />
<br />
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------<br />
<br />
I have learned my fear(s) and  weakness(es).<br />
My fear is not of no, but yes.<br />
My weakness... Cake. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hopefully, I can get some of the new  stuff that Ive been planning to do,  done. Like the web-comic(s) and the  Uruk-hai pic, for example; add to that,  a few new things...<br />
<br />
Ill get them done eventually<br />
<br />
Hopefully ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ive been feeling a bit burnt-out  lately...<br />
<br />
Its weird. Every time I feel like  drawing, I have work to do, or studying  to get done; but when I have free time  and a pencil in my hand, I cant place  anything on paper (or on screen (I draw  using a mouse more often than pencil  now))<br />
<br />
Maybe I need a dayoff from school.  Lately the weekends haven't been  enough... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Browsing through this site is a  humbling experience...<br />
Just about every site that I go into, I  see some incredibly amazing work.<br />
<br />
This site is not only a humbling  experience, its also motivating.<br />
<br />
I can't wait until the day I'm as good  as the people I Dev-Watch...<br />
<br />
Until then, I'm gonna keep practicing,  make my work less crappy.<br />
<br />
BTW, please comment on my work,  constructive criticism please. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got (actually, my brother did) the  new PSM magazine (US), and it had a  demo for Metal Gear 3: Snake Eater...<br />
<br />
It is amazing.<br />
<br />
It will probably set me back afew  weeks.<br />
I tend to obsess over games...<br />
<br />
And since I've reserved a copy of the  game, in advance, its going to set me  back afew bucks too. So I won't get a  hold of a scanner of my own until the  Post-Post-Holiday...<br />
<br />
I don't want anyone's fucking reject,  factory defect, piece of shit... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have the first three issues of my  soon to be posted web comic drafted.<br />
<br />
Which will be posted as soon as I get a  scanner, digitally trace the picture,  color it, and write in the dialouge...<br />
<br />
So all in all, it will probably be a  solid 2 months before I can post it,  sorry. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ At the moment, I have writers block.<br />
A lot of my concentration is on  schoolwork, and the comic that I've  been planning.<br />
I'm going to try to get something  posted, I don't know what it will be  yet, but I'm going to try to have  something up by next Sunday. <br />
<br />

Can't wait until the time that I'm as  good as he is.<br />
Till then, gotta keep practicing...<br />
<br />
The comic that I reffered to in my  first submission won't be up for a  while, sorry to dissapoint (not that  nayone is watching (for now...)). <br />
I've decided to save up for a scanner  so that I can post the pencil work(s)  for the comic and other stuff I've been  working on.<br />
<br />
It's late (12:00AM EST US), time to  sleep. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /> ]]></description>
