i'm moving in nine days.. i don't know how often i'll be able to update this thing, but it should be a decent amount. it's an art school. they're bound to have rogue scanners about the place. if not, adieu.. i'll update whenever i can.

it's weird, i'm moving on to the next stage of my life. i figured i would be able to get away scot free, i've been so excited to start college and have some fun. but wouldn't you know, right at the end, rounding third and coming in for home, some hooks found their way into my heart. but it'll be aight. growing pains.

just wanna thank everyone who looks at this little old page. i'm gonna get a website somewhere along the line, i'll make sure to put up the link. until then, same bat time and same bat channel.

love

i've been accepted into the art academy of cincinnati. i'm super excited, all that hard work paid off. i've got a big ass scholarship too!
i'm out of high school, oh free at last.
i'm involved in a really neat local undertaking called blueprint saints magazine, it's a local magazine that will be comprised of 100+ artists putting out 100+ comics every month! how cool! i'd give you a link but there's really nothing there right now.. but anyway: [link]

i haven't drawn anything for a while either, the stuff i just uploaded is pretty old. it's beginning to come back to me though, there should be some stuff up soon. i plan on doing something i call in my head the divine nine, or the CBP: cute boys parade. which is exactly what it sounds like. i'm just going to go through my favorite subcultures and draw a very attractive male specimen of each. do what you love after all. and, so as not to alienate my entire god damn male audience i'll have some comics up as soon as i learn the dimensions of my cel in the magazine. whazah.

i would just like to say, in light of recent comments left on my shit, what i think an artist is obligated to do in response to a criticism or disapproval of his or her art. i think that the artist should be able to articulate what their thoughts were (if any, there really doesn't have to be) behind a particular piece of work and maybe try to help the other person understand it better. it is not my job to defend an idea after that. it also not my job to prove, disprove, debate, apologize or try to change your mind. and let me tell you right now, it is not anyone's job to change mine, especially if you're going to be a sarcastic asshole about it. so there. i will discuss and analyze until my fingers fall off about the art itself, and what it means, but if you've got a beef with the ideology behind it, it's really not my fucking problem. make your own damn art. and
if you don't like it, don't look at it


well that's about it for now. i was just sick of looking at a seven month old post.

thermal shirt, jeans

10. Did you dream last night?
yes i did. shit. what was it.. oh my god this is going to drive me insane

11. When did you last laugh?
i was reading one of my library books! post secret. one of the secrets was 'i don't want to go to college, i just want to grow shit' with a picture of vegetables and farming implements. made me chuckle warmly

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
i've got so much shit on my walls.. i'll just do the one i'm facing currently: spraypainted posterboard that says 'blitzkrieg' all over it (not a nazi), coat rack, picture of grandpap wearing a birthday hat, cd rack, glow in the dark stars, a rag with a perfect imprint of the joker's makeup in it, various cd insert covers, a napkin from liz's disco party from 8th grade, a rollegirls flyer, a cinci horror flyer, some magazine clippings, an outdated playbill from the dame, a flyer from one of my old parties, some pictures of friends, some pictures of musicians, blue sticky tack, and a day of the dead skeleton paper puppet.

13. Seen anything weird lately?
choke, that movie, was pretty bizarre. good though. i also hung out with a guy that had no leg. i feel bad for saying that was weird but, really, i don't naturally see/interact with amputees so it was unnatural in the general sense. he was friendly.

dmitri. doyle toby

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
of course. i got the folks in switzerland. i really like russia too but i hear its insane to live there. and australia would be cool as hell.

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?
uhh. really i don't expect much from God. in fact if he was just standing around waiting for me to arrive so he could say some witty something or other, i'd probably be disappointed he wasn't busy with something far more important.

mmph. college. i think i've decided on art academy of cinci. they have an illustration program. mortuary school, not so much. i've sadly come to a point where i've had to sit down and think hard about money and options and time and art school's won out. also i learned that facial reconstruction isn't nearly as big a deal as i thought it was, as in there's just not much of it needed on average. plus shit, i'm already good at this whole drawing thing. i'd rather go with what i was born with that will allow me to work in a creative environment, even if i don't get a steady paychec... ]]> ~madtoys http://madtoys.deviantart.com/journal/19993602/ http://madtoys.deviantart.com/journal/19993602/ Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:38:44 PDT [link]
i'm on a bizarre radiohead binge. the more i listen to them the more they sound like muse and the more they make muse look like hacks. god damn. in that video thom yorke is ON IT. 'i wanna perfect soo-oo-oo-oul' is go awesome.. god.. everything is most excellent. and their cover of carly simon's nobody does it better is the best love song ever made, in my opinion

now that i'm in art, hurray, i have a better drive to actually do things and do bigger and better things. so there will probably be more stuff now. at the moment, i am in a sewing mood. i have about 3-4 projects on my list of things to do including my halloween outfit and a bitchin moto jacket for jared. i can't start any of them til i get the pattern for the former and the measurements for the latter :[ and then i probably won't be able to get to the fabric store til next weekend. le sigh. my car's fuckin broken. it's so depressing. cars give you so much freedom. but anyway. that jacket will be heinously awesome. you heard it here first. i'm gonna make it out of black canvas and it will have little grommets and snaps and epaulets and everything. and then i will line the bastard in SATIN. and sew a bunch of death and black metal patches on it. and embroider my name right over his heart! mwahaa!

other than that, not much going on.. just want my car fixed very badly. i bought a petticoat today at the band garage sale. as well as some knee and wrist guards for roller skating. and batman forever on vhs. a good day, indeed.

2. being able to eat remotely hard food (think about all of it! chicken, strawberries, pizza, cookies, green beans, candy, starbursts, cake, cheetos, bacon, pancakes, sandwiches, hamburgers, casserole, lasagna, popcorn, etc!)
3. being able to smooch on your signif. other any damn time you feel like it
4. being able to laugh or cry without being in physical pain
5. being able to lick your lips. sometimes, you just need to.
6. being able to communicate verbally in something other than vague clucking noises
7. being able to know what your face is going to look like the next day. think about that, dudes. think about how old you are. i'm only 17. it took me at least a good 15 years to get good and comfortable with my face and what it does and how it looks, what with going through puberty and peer pressure and all. and i'm pretty laid back about that shit. now i got to start all over :\

but anyway. i can't do any of those things right now, go me! i'm not entirely helpless. i'm not in much pain as long as i'm on my meds. i can get up and move around. i can actually theoretically eat anything i want as long as i can get it in liquid form, stick it in a syringe and shoot it into my mouth. i'm like a pro now. liz is gonna bring me some jones soda today, i'm pretty excited. i keep sitting down in my bed to draw something but i just end up falling asleep. i'm terrible.

see yers.

there it is yall.
updated odin's day and thor's day.
georgetown homies... i'm having a party on friday at my dad's. if you would like to come just note me. it looks like it's gonna turn into a glorified slumber party at this point.
i'm gonna be under the knife on the 19th so no updates for a while probably.
my friend wants me to help design her outfit for a play. it's like 50s version of the wizard of oz so i'm pretty excited.
not much else. summer has just drained my will to move so far.

1. i want to be a mortician for a living. embalming, mostly. if everything works out, i'll be enrolled in the cinci school of mortuary science by the time i'm 21.

2. i have a girl crush on exactly three people. 1. vanessa ferlito (gooch can back me up on this. she's adorable) [link] 2. patricia day [link] and 3. john cameron mitchell in drag. [link]

3. i love my metal head boyfriend. he's so damn cute. his incredibly apathetic world view, ridiculously dilated eyes and tendency to shout AWESOME when things explode or get butchered in gruesome ways just cause my heart to skip a beat. well he's also very sweet too, but don't tell anybody.

4. i have had more cavities than anyone you will ever know. it's not that i lack dental hygiene. i just drink waay waay waay too much dr pepper than is humanly good for anyone. and maybe i'm naturally predisposed to tooth decay, my dad has stupid teeth too. but really, i have more filling than enamel in my head right now.

5. speaking of which, i finally figured out what the hell that thing is they stick in your mouth that has the blue light on it and it beeps after a while! i committed the name on it to memory and wikipedia'd it as soon as i got home today (yes, i had a filling done today, hopefully my last one) but to no avail. typing it in a generic search engine garnered more results. it seems it's some sort of 'curing light' whatever the hell that means. i'm guessing it kind of uh.. makes sure the filling is hunky dory and sterilized or something. actually, i still have no idea what that damn thing does.


i don't really tag anybody

in better news, 's mama has seen it fit that i should really get into a gallery showing in my town. i really should do something like this. i don't know what i would put in it.. dead scarecrows are cool and all but for a gallery? maybe paintings of dead scarecrows. i told her i'd figure it all out over the summer. and thanked her like a billion times. JD, if you're reading this, your mom rocks. AP AP AP AP!

school is almost ovah. if i can survive scaravilli dogging me for four more weeks and get my grade in biology up past a freakin F (she finds like a stack of papers she lost every day, so that might help a little bit) and ...well that's pretty much it. and king's tryin to get me to take lessons with one and a half years of shitty lessons teachers (ok, 1, but he sucked) and me getting my jaw broken and wired shut for god knows how long, i don't see it happening. it's one of those.. they have to sign so many people up cause he's this big awesome professor of saxaphone ass kickery or else he won't do it type things, so they're really selling it. ah well. they'll have to get him without me.

cheers dears!

since song lyrics as journal titles seem to be the vogue. that's from 'entrails of you' by suffocation, which jared has concluded is the closest the world will ever get to a death metal love song. and i just think that particular line is pretty ridiculously hot, so there you go.

but why i'm writing is....
I FINISHED DRAWING THE FIRST ISSUE OF SUGARPILLS YALL! IT'S 20 PAGES LONG!! now all i gotta do is ink it!! YEAAH! JOHNNY REB!! YEEHAW! i did it all last night and this morning.. if i have any luck maybe i can get one or two more done over spring break. which is in a week!! holy moses!

in other news, i am in pretty pitiful shape after bowling yesterday. the bowling wasn't actually that taxing, though my forearm feels all super powerful now. no, after everyone left and i was by myself, i started playing skeeball like a maniac. now that is a game that will make a man out of you. my side is so sore now, from throwing and rolling and throwing and tossing... i'm such a wimp. and i also broke a filling on a chocolate bunny rabbit. and..that was all my fault.

1. i probably will never quit band even though it stresses me out and pisses me off half the time. the people are cool though. mostly
2. i add up the numbers when i see a digital clock. absolutely have to.
3. i can never keep my focus on one thing. can anyone?
4. i have a racist magnet or something. people who are homophobic, racist, or otherwise stupid seem to think i want to hear their crazy ass rants all the time.
5. sometimes (but rarely) i'll get up in the middle of the night, drink two dr. peppers and go back to sleep. jesus i might as well hav an IV feed in my arm..
6. i usually keep drama/sadness/anger inside myself for the most part, which gives people the impression i'm a very laidback person who is never upset. i am usually, but when i really get freaked out it's hard to say so cause it seems evey one else is constantly talking about the crap they have to go through and i don't want my hurt to be superficial. i don't know!

i got tagged by britnah

six weird things about me horror movie editionnnnnnnnnnnnnn (i'm on a rampage!)

1. before i ever saw the movie, i read the script to se7en. it scared the bejeesus out of me. just the words. made me never want to eat again.

2. when i saw the ring i was needlessly to say awake for the next month. but anyway, the seventh day after i had seen it in the theater i got a red hot poker and sat in front of my tv. i wish i was kidding

3. my grandma's house is crazy haunted. i've never seen a ghost in there, though there is this thing with my mom's dead brother's old room. he died when he was like 20. he always put up his pool cue in this certain corner of the room. for years after that, if grandma or mom tried to move it to another corner or put it some place, it would always fall and sliiiide towards that corner, as soon as they looked away. not very high on the ghost o meter but oh well.

4. my coolest (well one of em) halloween costume ever was made on the spot at this girl scouts camp when i was like five. i had forgot mine (and it was like a halloween camp of some sort) and as i started to cry, the troup leader was like lightbulb! she made it into an activity that the girl scouts would construct me a costume. it turned out to be this weird looking woods creature type thing. i had moss for shoulderpads. i sadly left it there. damn, i miss being the cute little kid.

5. the scariest book ever is those 'scary stories to tell in the dark' books. not cause of the stories. oh no. BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING PICTURES. they still give me the heebie jeebelies. i would hide them in the couch so they couldn't get me like that makes any sense at all.

6. my favorite halloween: halloween five. blah blah the first one's a classic i know blah blah. it is. second one's not half bad. the fifth one (when you enter the fifth sequel realm, it's either so bad it sucks or so bad it's awesome) is not a classic. it has horrible 80's salon music and that one chick with that horrible jacket. but by god, i love it. the last bit where michael's chasin the little girl around the house makes me jump every. single. time. and also, dr. loomis, my hero or heroes, is a total badass for an old british guy.

i tag no none!

ok, my recording is 8:57 long, and there are some parts i don't like, but if you have a version relatively close to that time then get out your pencils

the beginning is kind of pompous and nutcracker suite soundin in my opinion, so lets just skip that...

00:53 - yay for repeated noodly scale falls!
1:06 - it's like someone tightened a rope or something. SUSPENSE
1:23 - and it just keeps getting higher and higher til the clarinets are like, in the upper atmosphere and then
1:32 - whoa crazy awesome dramatic italian opera sweeping ballad thing!
2:42 - ok, for about a minute you've endured this prissy medieval sounding prancy flute music. then all of the sudden big low brass MEXICOMEXICOMEXICOMEXICOMEXICO
2:48 - then BOOM! flutes and clarinets explosion of ass kicking! like insane gone with the wind shit going on here!
2:57 - the clarinets freak out into the stratosphere again
3:20 - then it all comes back down with this lovely soothing oboe, just you know, chillaxin
3:32 - flute: what's up oboe? oboe: just chillaxin. flute: might i join you? oboe: for sure. and then some really pretty lifetime movie music happens.
4:10 - ok you know those movies where the kid loses their pet that they love more than anything in the world and the pet has to find its way back home? well here is that one moment where the dog and the kid reunite, from all of those movies ever rolled into one.
4:30 - (nothing really different, but in our version it's an alto sax solo, so um, sax plug)
4:44 - oh my god here is where you start weeping like a little girl. here til 5:08 and abouts there's this nice little overlaid thing with the flutes, where they play these little three notes over and over, and the low brass builds up, and you turn into a puddle of goo
5:20 - yeah, wake up! we're only on the second page now, you didn't think that was the end, did you?
5:25 - now remember the kid and the dog? this is the dognapper's theme. it's all mean and heavy and sinister. i swear to god, this song is about a kid and his dog.
6:06 - this is like the brass and woodwinds are yelling at each other:
little bitty oboe: i screwed your sister
big hulking brass: I KEEL YOU
little bitty oboe: you smell like ketchup
big hulking brass: YOU DEAD BEECH
and then they sort of keep quieting down
big hulking brass: well, everyone screws my sister
little bitty oboe: you don't really smell like ketchup.
6:43 - can you say epic? this is the song french horns were born for. rips out the wazoo
7:36 - this is where the ending STARTS. note we have a whole minute twenty one seconds left. also known as 'repeat this one measure like three hundred times'
7:55 - now someone has stepped on the gas. i am guessing this is where brawner's crazy flailing arms will start. that gone with the wind stuff is backkkk
8:15 - somehow, some way, dvorak has managed to stuff every single ending for every romantic arrangement ever written into this song
8:20 - see, here's one
8:24 - there's another one
8:29 - nother one
8:35 - are we done yet?
8:39 - mr. brawner dies of heart attack
8:46 - carnegie hall's roof blows off
8:49 - aaaand we're done.
8:57 - finis


if that made any sense at all. maybe awkwa can back me up.
