So I got a keyboard for Christmas so I can start writing music. Hurray! I also got a Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD, too cool. and of course Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp is my hero. I also got quite a bit of money to put towards paying for my trip to Germany.

So riddle me this: If you and one of your best friends are coming closer than close (ie. spending more than at least 3 hours a day together every weekday, and going to Starbuck's for hours at a time about twice a week), would you ask them out? (or say 'yes' if they asked you out). Because I did. Mostly from third party pressure. I dunno. It sounded like a good idea, but now it feels really awkward. I'm gonna talk it over with her tonite (at Starbucks ).

Well, that is all. Everyone have a great new year if I don't update before then.

peace.

I was losing faith in DA for awhile, but I'm back, and doing good.

I'm working on several projects right now. I'm working on expanding by abilities as an artist. I've discovered that my ability in designing is very good, so I'm trying to go places with that through drawing, painting, etc. We'll see what turns out. Also, I'd like to get more involved in photography. That'll be fun.

But right now I'm kind of swamped working on Alice. For those of you just now tuning in, I'm the Costume Master for our school's play Alice In Wonderland. The show is going to be most excellent, and as soon as the scanner is free I'll be submitting some of my designs. So we'll see how that plays out.

I've suddenly become extremely interesting in all aspects of the arts. I wrote an essay on it for English. I think I'll submit it. Yeah, I'll do that. You might find it quite interesting. It's about how art can lift one's being to a higher level. Hm... so, that's pretty much it. I'm starting a list of current projects that I'm working on, and how close I am to completing them, giving my fans (lol, fans) something to look forward too. So I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good. Talk to you soon!

peace.

The shows went great. Double-plus good. Hurray. The audition meeting for Alice in Wonderland begins next week. I can't decide whether to try for a crewhead or cast member.

Last night was homecoming, or anti-homecoming for us. A bunch of friends and I got together and went bowling, out to eat, and came home to watch movies and hang-out. Great fun. A lot better than homecoming would have been. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And today I was just surfing around on the internet, and I came across a personality disorder test. Pretty interesting. Here's my results:

Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Fun stuff. I found it kind of interesting. Nothing new though.

Oh and I'm painting my room. w00t w00t. I'm going to use it as my next DeviantID when I get it done, so yall will be able to see.

And I'm starting to write a script for our German movie for contest. It's a modern rendition of an old Grimm fairy tale. I'll submit it as I go.

Well, that's all for today folks.

So yeah, that was Don't Dress for Dinner. Tonight it's Over the River and Through the Woods; tomorrow is Over the River again, and then it's back to Don't Dress for Saturday. The set turned out really awesome. It's awesome. I wish I could show it to everybody (but I'm not gonna be one of those selfish people who just use DA to upload pics to show to their friends).

--

So anyways, I've got a really really good idea for a script, and I'm gonna get started as soon as the show is over. I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it a musical or not, but it's really gonna be great. It's sort of autobiographical in the details, but note in the big picture. So I hope to get started soon and I hope that everyone will like it.

peace.

My personal favorite is Don't Dress, but both of them are great. In case you're confused, we're doing two shows at once. One set, one crew, two shows, two casts. It's gonna be great. I'll have to take some pics of the set.

I'm thinking of writing a musical. That would be fun. I'm very hooked on 'Chicago' right now. lol. Writing a musical would be fun, but I have no idea what to write it about. I think my ultimate goal in life is gonna be to bring 'Moulin Rouge' to the stage. I can do it. yeah. But I'd like to write something original. Hm.... ideas... brainstorm............ nope, nothing yet. oh well. maybe later. If I start to write I'll letcha know.

So after these two shows we're doing 'Alice In Wonderland'. That's going to be totally awesome since I'm a huge fan of the book. There's going to be no set, it's all about the costume. The costumes are going to be like Lion King costumes, very engineered and a lot of puppeteering. I think I'm either going to go for Costume Head. If I don't get that then I think I'll try for cast. I'd like to be the Caterpillar smoking the Hookah. lol. Yeah, I'm rambling. But isn't that what journals are all about? Oh well, I'll stop.

Song of the Moment: The Cell Block Tango (movie version)

Well, I'd just figured that I'd update the journal.

Now you think, why the hell would I do something like this if all that's gonna happen? Well, first of all, theatre (tech theatre to be specific). I'm good at it, unlike band, and it's fun 100% of the time, unlike band. Also, I want to go into film after college, be a director. I think theatre is a good step towards that. Also, I have a few good friends in theatre, and all the techies (tech-theatre people) are really cool people, and I could make some spiffy new friends. Well, the times for theatre conflict with band marching practice, and our director won't let you be in band and not march. He's such an asshole.

Also, the downsides of band. Well, I've been trying for five years and I've never got above the bottom. I suck. And I'm tired of it. And my band sucks. I'm in the lowest band of course. The music is no fun, the director is an ignorant, unemotional, unfeeling, uncaring son of a bitch, their's no balance in the instrumentation which throws off our and no one is any good at playing anything.

Also, well, our director is turning into a complete asshole. He doesn't let us have any fun. It's not about enjoying band anymore, it's about getting it right and getting it perfect and if you're not then you get butt-raped. No fun at all. And it's not about learning either anymore. If you have a question, my director will look you straight in the eye, then ignore you. How can you learn like that? It's all about the music, the performance, the recognition, the awards, the school being the best. It's not about the kids, it's about the awards. Little by little he's been taking away everything fun about the band, like all our little traditions and such, like our trombones play a little funny song called 'Hee Haw,' and we all danced to it, it was very fun. He put a stop to that last year. Now we can't hold our instruments in the air and yell 'Go!' We can't swing our instruments back and forth while playing music, we can't do anything fun. It's a freaking football game! We're supposed to sit there like mindless zombies?

And now more people are beginning to realize this, and I think pretty soon we're going to see the downfall of our band. We were once the 'Pride of Kingwood,' the best organization in our high school, pretty soon it'll be 'How low can you go?' He's taking away every fun aspect of band, and tonight, the camel's back broke.

We had a concert/marching performance today, and I watched our director as much as I could, about 80% percent of the time. And that whole time, I didn't see him smile one bit, and more than that, he always looked pissed about something.

He told the drummers that they weren't allowed to jam after the concert. (You see, that's our tradition. After every band practice/ performance/ concert, etc. the percussion plays jams and we all jam along and such.) Anyways, he said they weren't allowed to jam after the concert. That was the last straw. He had already disallowed so much of our fun traditional stuff, and this was it. You don't take away the jams. So we all got together in the middle of the parking lot, practically blocking traffic, and the drums jammed and we danced like there was no tomorrow (because for me, there isn't). And then, after about 30 minutes, the drum majors figured out that we were jamming, and they came in and stopped us. We all boo-ed and I yelled 'VIVA LA REVOLUCION!' and everyone cheered, but the percussion broke up and went inside. That'll be one of my greatest memories of all time.

And so, that was my grand band finale, and I cried all the way home listening to 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing,' 'Unwell,' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' So I guess that's it. I'm going in Monday to tell him that I'm changing my schedule and that I supported the drum revolt and basically how I feel about what's happening to the band, and then it's good-bye forever. Good-bye to the times when band was fun, to all the memories, the people, the places, the laughs and tears.

Good-bye, I'll miss you guys forever.

Baduh, band. Baduh.

peace.

My first pics were of my pool table, they didn't turn out too well, except the one where I incorporated the tennis rachet. That one's still a little iffy though. My second sunject was my cat on my balcony. I really like those. I took about five, and three of them turned out really good. I also took some pics of some old rusty junk of my stepdad's that's just lying around. None of those turned out right though.

And so that was my first roll of film. (well, actually it was half, my mom used most of it.)

Currently, I'm working on some self-portraits. The only problem is that I'm taking the picture and posing for the picture at the same time. I'm still not sure how that's gonna work. lol.

So, let me know what you think of my first attempts!

peace.

Anyways, I think I'm gonna start developing my interest in photography (not pun intended). I've always thought that I would make a good photographer, and so now I'm finally gonna make it happen. I don't know why, but I got the sudden urge to pursue it. I've found out more about the subject of photography in the past 3-4 hours than I ever knew. I think I've even picked out the camera to buy.

My mom has a SLR camera that I can use for really professional, already setup shots, but I'm gonna buy a high-quality digital camera for all those spur-of-the-moment pictures. I think I'm gonna buy the 'Canon PowerShot 2.0-Megapixel Digital Camera.' It seems okay. I think it'll work. If not I'll take it back.

Now the only problem is money. I have I think about $50 at the moment. The camera costs $230. I don't have a job, and I just got a car, so gas expenses are gonna start piling up. But my birthday's coming up, so hopefully I'll get some cash there. I'll probably be able to buy it around October, assuming nothing comes up and I don't have to spent a significant amount of money on anything.

So, yeah, no morals or statements or anything this time. How tragic, I know. Not that anyone reads these things anyway.

Oh, on another note. As you can see if you look at my recent deviations, I've started looking for projects to do with other DA people. I'm trying to meet new people here at DA, and this is one way. As you can see, I've just completed an anime project with :mekiodo:. I'm not into anime or anything, it just doesn't appeal to me, but I wrote the words in the picture. The deviation can be seen in my gallery, called Star of Hope.

If anyone out there happens to read this and would like some kind of writing put into their artwork or for anything at all, I'd be delighted to help.

Well, that's all for today.

peace.

lib·er·al
adj.

1. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or
authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

2. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress,
and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

3. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.


bo·he·mi·an
n.

1. A person with artistic or literary interests who disregards
conventional standards of behavior.


This is my basic philosophy regarding my declaring myself a Liberal Bohemian:

ON TRADITION AND CHANGE:
It may be fun for the first for years, but we need change, otherwise the world stops turning. It is only by change and development of new ideas that the world has become what it is today. The world may not be the best it could be, and yes, that was the fault of change, but the greatest risk is not taking one. Without change we'd be nowhere, literally nowhere.
The only true purpose that tradition serves is the preservation of the past. It should be used for just that, nothing more.


ON BIGOTRY:
Yes, it may be necessary to hold one's group or establishment above the rest, otherwise we would live in a selfless world, and as happy as that may seem, society would collapse. If you don't believe that then read 'Atlas Shrugged,' come back, and tell me if you've changed your mind.
However, we must not take bigotry too far. If we let ourselves become too consumed with our own selfs, then we lose the ability to open our eyes and see what the rest of the world has to offer. For example, if we become wrapped up in American tradition, then we have no idea of the the different cultures and styles that Europe, Asia, and even as close to home as Mexico have to offer.

ON ARTISTIC AND LITERARY INTERESTS:
Art. The core of the bohemian sense. That is exactly why you are here; that is what DA stands for. Take the word 'deviant': differing from norms and standards. Add in art, and you might as well change the name to bohemia.com.
But, concentrating more on myself; I am obsessed with all forms of art, especially music, literature, and film. I have an entire wall full of Beatles' paraphernalia, I have a passion, and (according to you all) an ability for words. And I am going to become a film director. That is my goal: To change the film industry from an entertainment industry to an industry of art.

ON CONVENTIONAL BEHAVIOR:
Yeah right. Concerning me, conventional behavior is an oxymoron. I am a sporatic, live for the moment and too the fullest and beyond, don't give a damn about the thoughts of others, live and let die, do what feels good kinda guy. Bursting out randomly in song, exaggerating expressions, volume and tome of voice, etc. and bordering on slight insanity. Of course, in Houston, they call us G/T (Gifted and Talented). rofl, indeed. And while all that's going on, the doctors are trying to give me medicine for depression. Forget manic depression. Try maniac depression! So, yeah, you can see by this and especially if you know me personally that definetely 'disregard conventional standards of behavior.'
That is all.

In short, and as it is said in Moulin Rouge:

'Freedom. Beauty. Truth. Love.'


I know this is a very unorganized and sporatic journal, but hey, so am I!

So, I think I've pretty much given a fair arguement to why I declare myself to be what I declare. I don't know why I declared it, but I think if we had more true Liberal Bohemians in places where a difference could be made, it would help this world a great deal.

peace.

This one is for a friend. I'm not saying who, but when (more like if, who reads these things anyways?) he/she reads it, they'll know it's for them.

Today we went fishing. Hurray for us. Typical day in a New Orleans life. lol. When we went, my sister started complaining about it being very hot. Yes, it was hot, but so? What are you gonna do about it? Quit complaining; move on. I didn't really say anything though.

Later on, she got her crabbing line tangled, and started b*tching about it. So untangle it and shutup, I thought. But no, she just yanked and yanked, not even trying to fix it, more concentrating on the complaining.

Then she starts to hear raindrops and won't stop ranting about how the fishing trip is ruined. (This is all true, by the way). Wow, that's great. We all know it's raining, because when it rains, it doesn't only rain on you. So shut up and help pick up the poles and bring them back to the car.

There's no point in complaining about the things that happen to you, or to think about them any longer than it takes for you to decipher want's happened, and if it's caused any significant bump on your road of life. If it hasn't, which is true in 99% of all happenings, then there's no point looking back, it only keeps your eyes from seeing what's ahead.

And children, that concludes today's lesson.

peace.

Today We tried to go crabbing and got caught in a sudden storm. Hurray. not. oh well. And I learned that my lil bro is a very good BS player (kind of scary). So I'm still in New Orleans. My grandmother and stepmom came over last night, and they're staying for awhile. Well, my stepmom lives here, my grandmother is staying for awhile, and she's taking my room, so I get to sleep with the lil bro. But that's not too bad. Oh well. I'm finally getting back involved in all the LPS work, and it's goin good. I came up with a new contest.

Well, I'm ramballing. But isn't that what a journal's all about? I dunno. Maybe ever once in awhile I'll try to make something out of a journal. Like something philosophical or something. I like talking about philosophy, it's fun. lol.

Ok, well that's it for today. Hope everyone back in Houston is having fun.

Well, my stepmom lives here, my grandmother is staying for awhile, and she's taking my room, so I get to sleep with the lil bro. But that's not too bad. Oh well. I'm finally getting back involved in all the LPS work, and it's goin good. I came up with a new contest.

Well, I'm ramballing. But isn't that what a journal's all about? I dunno. Maybe ever once in awhile I'll try to make something out of a journal. Like something philosophical or something. I like talking about philosophy, it's fun. lol.

Ok, well that's it for today. Hope everyone back in Houston is having fun.

peace.

It's a real long story. I was in Cancun for a week, then right after that I came here to my dad's and we didn't get internet until last wednesday, and the internet still isn't hooked up to the kid's computer so I have to resort to waiting 'til 2 in the morning to get on the 'adults' computer and sneek online. (how rebellious of me.)

Well, that's the news. Hope to get back in touch with everyone soon!

peace.

Well, I'm leaving for Cancun tomorrow morning and not getting back 'til Thursday, so I'll see yall later.

peace.

We're reading poetry in English now (omg schools almost over, hurray!) and we have to write responses to some of the poetry. And before, people had wrote some of their poetry responses in poetic form. So I figured I'd try. I'll be submitting one today and the other one tomorrow. I also have another piece thats almost done and I have a few more ideas in my head.

So, I hope I didn't miss anything commenting on ya'lls deviations. Have fun till next time!

peace out,

[bmw] ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/702609/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/702609/ Thu, 08 May 2003 18:53:05 PDT
Yeah, so I expect that I'll start submitting stuff more often now, since I'm starting to get more ideas and I've detached from the whole it-has-to-be-emotional-to-write-it-down thing, you know where you may try to write something that doesn't specifically pertain to your sad emotions, but it won't work out. I've finally passed that, and found that I can write about pretty much anything now. yay for me!

Yeah, so that's why, you may have noticed, that I've changed my Emotional Poet to Lyrics Writer, because writing songs is fun. I tried to make a band to actually play my songs in; that didn't work. Then I tried to join a band, and I knew that wasn't gonna happen. So now I'm stuck writing songs for no reason. oh well, it's still fun. BTY, in case you were wondering, I play keyboard.

If I haven't commented on your deviations by now, I'm sorry, but just wait a little longer and I promise too!

Peace out,

@bmw

I think I'm gonna start writing songs. That'll be fun. Writing songs while learning guitar.

So, I'm open for suggestions. Give me an idea and I'll dedicated it to you. I promise. Fun stuff.

So, yeah, I went to see The Pianist yesterday. Go see it if you get the chance. It's a great movie. Really makes you think. ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/478520/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/478520/ Tue, 04 Feb 2003 19:57:59 PST
I'll be revising and perfecting it in the nest few weeks into as close to perfect any written form can be.

Well, i just had to get that old journal entry off the front page. Gotta go! I promise to write something soon! ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/392009/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/392009/ Sat, 14 Dec 2002 20:26:39 PST Please read this and please comment on it. I know that it's just a journal entry but please comment!

Let me start out by saying that I'm really sorry I' haven't been on lately!

I've just had so much to do as I described in my last entry. I'm sorry I have left any comments of submissions or anything in about a month! But all that crap is done with now, except finals. After X-mas i'll be ok agian and get back to writing and commenting and stuff.

But now I have an even bigger problem... not stress... not love... but ironically (considering my last deviation) my dreams.

First, I'm getting a C for the semester in English which really pisses my off. I work my ass off in that class. Oh well, thats just the tip of the iceberg...

You see... I love German, and Germany. I was going to apply to be a foreign exchange student there. It was going to be the best thing that had ever happened to me. Getting out of this cheap country... living in a completely different world with awesome people with awesome customs and speaking the coolest language in the world for a whole year! Even better, I'd get away from my depressing, stressfilled life for an entire year!!

But then I recently realized the reality of the drastic effects it would have on my high school career. I would either be held back a year (absolutely not!) or have to work my ass of in my senior year. And I realized that running away from my problems only gives them time to grow and evolve into bigger and worse things, and then I'd still have to face them when I got back.

It's just not worth it. It was honestly the hardest decision I've ever made in my life. The application is due Monday (2 days from when I'm writing this). I have the form partially filled out, recommendations in hand. But I'm not gonna be there at the mailbox on Monday to send it off. I can't believe I'm not doing this.

I feel like its the most stupid decision, but I know its for the best. I just... AHHHH... i'm so mad at myself and the world for not being able to do this!!! I'm gonna be crying all day tuesday, cuz thats the day after the applications due.

I though about send ing the application in anyway, just for the hell of it. That way if I didn't win then I'd know that it didn't really matter. But if I won, I'd be completely broken up. Plus every time I go to fill out part of it, or even look at the envelops with the recommendations in them, I nearly burst out crying.

I actually did cry when I told my mom that I wasn't gonna do it. She thought I was crying over the C in English. No... I'm plan pissed about that.

Well, anyway, thats the latest news of my dark corner of the world. I'll probably write something about it later tonight.

Please, please, comment. Tell me what you think. It won't change my mind, cuz I can't screw up all my high school plans for a year in germany. I'm gonna go live there for a year or two after college anyway... plus take a vacation there the summer after next. But please, tell me something. Anything. I like feedback. It makes me feel a lot better.

Thanks! ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/353758/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/353758/ Wed, 20 Nov 2002 14:02:18 PST

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/349611/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/349611/ Sun, 17 Nov 2002 16:34:40 PST
Ive had so many ideas but no time to write them down. So I forget them all. NEway, i'm working on a prose writing that I think is gonna be real good. It'll be a fictional romance full of symbolism to my life. Its gonna be long so I'll submit the first part probly sometime next week, then i'll go from there.

But thats all i'm gonna tell ya for now. In the meantime if i have an idea i'll write it down and create something to submit.

So... yeah, thats it.

Stay cool and write good. Talk to ya lata! ]]> ~batmanwell http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/343000/ http://batmanwell.deviantart.com/journal/343000/ Tue, 12 Nov 2002 18:52:59 PST ~batmanwell
