Whilst working on a How-To-Draw book I will soon publish, I've been scouring dA for inspiration for a segment in the book called "How NOT to draw wings." I stumbled across a really helpful tutorial in the process. Graciously, I must admit something.

I'm wrong.

It seems in my quest to master bird wing anatomy I've seriously neglected my bat-type or dragon wing anatomy. That's right. I'm at fault for doing what I yell at people all the time for doing: drawing crappy wings.

What have I learned?

Take a look at my most recent drawing of a dragon with leathery bat-like wings:

[link]

Look at those wings. I thought there wasn't anything wrong with the wings but now I have been shown the light. It's so obvious I'm ashamed that I didn't realize it before! On the elbow of the wing I have an extra "finger" where the wing membrane attaches. Why have I drawn it there? Well I always see dragons with those there and it just looks natural. But as this lovely tutorial points out ( [link] ) there is no evolutionary reason for that extra finger, as fingers do not sprout from our elbows. It's SO OBVIOUS! Once someone pointed that tiny bone detail to me I realized the error in my ways. Of COURSE! How silly of me.

And so in the future you will see no more extra finger thingie.

Silly Random. Fingers are for hands.

Onwards! To spread this new found obvious knowledge to other unacquainted artists!

(mostly I am announcing it here so someone doesn't later point out to me that I am a hypocrite. Pre-emptive wrongness, you've done it again! Haha!)

For those of you unfamiliar with me, last halloween I went as a grunt, a revamp of my older costume made in high school. And it ROCKED. [link] There's a pic, so you know how awesome it was.

This year, I had trouble deciding between a hunter, the arbiter, and a jackal. (I will get around to all of them, don't worry.) I've decided I'm gonna go with the Jackal, because I want to work with feathers and more textures to improve upon my experience.

Here's a good picture of a Jackal if you haven't played the Halo games: [link]

Yeah. Pretty awesome.

I'm working on figuring out how to construct the legs, but I have a good idea, I just need help and materials and structurally-sound awesomeness which I think I will get from my dad. (if not, my stepdad, since him and mom don't care about driving).

As far as how I'll make the shield, I may have to ask my brother on how to do that.

But the main costume I am already thinking up ideas.

First of all, the armor is a cinch--I'll make it out of cardboard like last year's grunt's armor was (and paint it awesomely as well). The head is gonna be perhaps the most fun part of it. I've been scouring youtube for ideas and have come up with a few different options, some involving epoxy, some plaster...And then I'm using feathers and some liquid latex since that worked last time. I'll probably use a skin cap again and texture it like skin. It's gonna be a LOT of fun. I wanna get a working jaw, too. It's GONNA LOOK FREAKING AMAZING.

You just wait, world. Another Halo creation is gonna be unleashed in Madison.

I'm already practicing my Jackal sounds.

This message goes out to all who watch me and all who stumble across my page:

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE MY ARTWORK FOR ANY PERSONAL USE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

End of story.

You are not allowed to make derivative works of it, either, meaning you can't take the design and copy features of it, or change it slightly to your whim in order to "make it yours". The fact of the matter is, it will NEVER be yours because MY mind and MY hard work and MY creative process created it. No amount of altering will change that.

You are not allowed to take my line art or ink art or any art for personal use for tattoos, covers, anything. You can't. You simply can't. That is ART THEFT and that is against the law. Copyright law, that is.

Despite it being against the law, it also has moral issues as well. Say you take an artist's work, be it my own, or anyone else's. Say you bring it to a tattoo parlor and they tattoo it on you. You might think I or the other artists will never see it and therefore I can never find out that you stole it. Well that may be the case. But can you control the actions of the tattoo artist? Maybe that tattoo becomes a hit and he starts making it for other people. Can you see how this might be a problem? That tattoo artist is making money off of someone else's idea. That is theft, whether they know it or not. You have just made them liable.

The other moral issues are that artists put their own personal ideas to their works--some artwork may have personal meaning and significance to them and them alone, and would never apply to anyone else in possession of the work. That is because an artist's work is like a piece of their soul. They put hard work into it, their mind, their sweat, their strain and their time in order to bring their ideas to fruition.

DO NOT STEAL ART. I don't care if you think you are "borrowing" it. Or "getting ideas" from it. No. NO. IF you feel like you must, you had BETTER ask permission for it first, and accept a possibility that the artist may not want you doing these things.

If the artwork is usable for derivative works, creative commons, aka it is available for use by other people in some way, IT WILL BE LISTED AS SUCH with a text under the work that says "creative commons license" or something of the sort. You can even click on the thing and I believe it tells you what the restrictions are. You will notice that my artwork does not allow for ANY creative commons use. Why? Because it is my work for my own use, and the only reason it is on this site is because I like showing it to people, including prospective customers for commissions.


NOW.

If anyone wants a tattoo design, send me a note or comment on my page/journal and I will be happy to offer you a commission work that will require money, but that is how art works. Art is the creative result of putting an artist's mind and hard work onto paper(or other media). It is our SOUL and OUR HARD WORK, and if you REALLY appreciated art like you claim to do by taking ours, you would understand the moral issues you create by doing so. You would understand that stealing art is stealing and defiling someone's soul, and you would leave well enough alone and ask permission (and consequently accept no as an answer), ask for a commission, or make your own damn work.

Because every artist, every true, creative artist who does not steal from others (for they are not artists), knows that their art takes a LOT of skill and hard work and would never, NEVER take art theft lightly.

Ever.

A new semester and I'm feeling better than ever. This semester I'm taking:

Gems: The Science Behind the Sparkle (I needed 1 science credit; it's an online course)
American Literature (required)
East Asian American Literature (for my ethnic lit credits)
English in Society (sort of required)
Intro to Yoga
Kendo

Obviously it's a packed schedule but to be honest the gym classes are both for one credit. So no biggie. I'm actually really excited about them. I'm actually getting myself into shape through school, and I mean it. Yoga is not for sissies. Anyone who says that it is obviously has never done yoga. Kendo is the shit--I'm learning discipline and I have a shinai that I know how to disassemble/reassemble/maintain. I kinda wanna longboard to class holding my shinai because it would be badass. Which reminds me...

I WANT IT TO BE SPRING ALREADY!!!!

Seriously. I miss longboarding. It sucks not being able to. I need to find something else to do when I can't board.

Speaking of which I finally went sledding. The UW-Madison style. By that I mean on a food tray down the side of the hill near Liz Waters. You haven't sledded until you've done it on a food tray. Long story short, I experienced ragdoll physics. The last run down the hill I fucking tumbled out of, like a glitched halo character--it was AWESOME.

But yeah. I feel good. And Obama is in office, and shit's already changing. Hell yes for gay rights and hell yes for closing gitmo. 'Bout damned time.

I've also got an apartment set up for me next year--right off of state street, quite cheap, no roommates, and YES! I can take my birdie with me.

And I'm applying to the School of Education within the next week. I won't know if I got in until spring, but I've had some help with my admission essays from a bunch of wise, helpful people. I've learned a lot. I don't think I've learned jack shit from my classes, (okay, there are some exceptions) but I did learn a lot from the people here. I never realized that applying to the school of ed would help me grow so much. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. Anyway, that's all I'm gonna say for now.

To top it all off I'm listening to some jammin' good tunes that were given/recommended to me. Fuck yeah!

This week has been good in class but bad outside of class. I've been lazy but today I'm gonna clean up my room and my act. Time to do some work.

Peace and love,

--Random

Tangiariece Karsiall (mixin' it up)


Hello there, characters! Please answer the following interview questions as honestly as you can.

(note: I'm gonna have them all answer as if they're being asked these questions right when we FIRST encounter them in the storyline. Just to make possible plot issues work.)

Who/What are you?

Charlie: "I'm Charlie...I'm a human."
Seth: "Seth. Second son of Ares and (Random: fuck can't think of her name) Karsiall. I'm a Zithronian."
Koro: "Hullo there, friend. It is an honor to make your acquaintance. My full name is Lord Korokarune (insert middle and last name here). But you may call me Koro. I am considered by my people a Valkyryn from the great nation of Purusha--I am not in any way ashamed of my heritage. My mother came from Valkyryn blood as well--She was of Dreegonian and Skaven descent. My father was a pureblood Sike." (**note: race names subject to change**)
Mel: "Melarkanatama Shkeenatsu. Or you can call me Mel. I'm a Khaod Purushan."
T'riece: "I'm Tangiariece, first son of Ares and (Random can't think of her name) Karsiall"

Seth: "27 by my planet's standards."

Want a hug?

Charlie: "Eh..." (Random: he needs one though)
Seth: "No, thank you."
Koro: "Hehe! Well, we already hugged, but if you insist." *squeezes torso over-excitedly*
Mel: "Sure, what the hell!"
T'riece: "I'm fine, thanks."


You got any bad habits?

Charlie: "I can be kinda lazy...and I procrastinate. And yeah, I'll admit, sometimes I don't really think before I speak."
Seth: "No."
Koro: "Hehe...I like to make things awkward..."
Mel: "Sometimes I steal stuff...but I kind of have to, gotta make a living."
T'riece: "...I drink."

Are you a boy or a girl?

Charlie: "BOY. Seriously? Why is that a question?"
Seth: "Man."
Koro: "I have no testicles." *grins*
Mel: "Definitely a guy."
T'riece: "Guy."

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Charlie: "Nope."
Seth: "Four brothers. I'm the second oldest."
Koro: "None that I can remember. I was separated from my family at a young age."
Mel: "None."
T'riece: "Four brothers. I'm the oldest."

Do you have any fears?

Charlie: "Heights."
Seth: "...Dragons."
Koro: "I have a keen sense of judgment and I can feel concern, but I live without fear of pain or death."
Mel: "To be honest...the ocean. I know, it's weird for a Khaod to say that. But yeah, I'm afraid of that, and anything else that reminds me of my childhood."
T'riece: "I hate to even bring him up, but...Seth."

The Songs of the Avatars

Too-dah.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, The Avatars are basically all the drawings I've been doing of creatures representative of emotions, states of mind, or thoughts that exist in my mind. The most important ones cover the four broadest categories of states-of-mind and are known as "The Four Major Avatars". Each has their own attributes, level of physical or mental activity relating to their existence, and a ton of other information about them. Maybe in a later journal I can describe them better, but here's the jist of it:

Eucrasia (also spelled Eukrasia): Eukie is an ouroboros who basically stands for peace of mind, focus, clarity, and activity. Picture of Eucrasia (note: he's the round guy holding his own tail in the center)

Dyscrasia (also spelled Dyskrasia): Dysie is also an ouroboros but is Eukie's antithesis. He represents mental chaos, internal suffering, hazy/cloudiness, and the absense of normal functions. More information about Dyscrasia can be found here: Picture of Dyscrasia

Lateo: Lateo is a fiendish, eyeless, ethereal snake-like chameleon of sorts. He represents a madness different from Dyscrasia's--it is a low insanity. Low-lying, unseen, just below the surface. Lateo is a beast of an organized, manipulative, calculated hell. Picture of Lateo

Wrath (aka Iracundia): Probably my most favorite out of the four, Wrath is a maliciously gleeful purple worm. Wrath is an avenger, an aggressor, a devourer--Wrath is total destruction, bloodthirst, and raw power. Picture of Wrath

So! Now for the songs!

So basically it started with a song I heard that reminded me totally of Wrath. (In fact, listening to these songs incites each state, so there is no doubt in my mind that they songs fit perfectly) These songs don't really give the feeling of/describe what it's like to be feeling the way they make one feel. Instead, they give you a taste of what the presense of each avatar feels like.

Note: The lyrics in most of these songs are unimportant--it is the music itself that I'm concerned with.

WARNING AND ADVICE:
The following songs may suck for your palette of musical taste. However, if you want to know what these avatars are like, then you gotta suffer through crappy music. (mostly I am referring to Dyscrasia's song)

Instructions:

For best results, listen to through headphones with eyes closed and volume as high as your eardrums can tolerate without risking hearing loss. If the song comes with a video, pay no regards to it. Staring at the avatar itself is option. Songs best listened to all the way through for full effect.

Dyscrasia's Song: The Dillinger Escape Plan--"Sugar Coated Sour"
_{(If anyone notices this is a redirect link, it's because the link I typed in had a "=" and a "D" in it, breaking the link and making a smiley. So my bro made me a redirect thing to his site. In case it's even noticeable, so you don't have to mind it.)}

Lateo's Song: Mr. Bungle--"Quote Unquote"

Wrath's Song: (click on it if it's not first by default) Einstuerzende Neubauten--"Halber Mensch"

Eucrasia's Song: Boards of Canada--"Everything You Do is a Balloon"

Listed Eukie's last so your brain has a nice song to cool down with.

------------

And this has been "Songs of the Avatars"!

Tune in next journal (or update) for the exciting conclusion, when a list of my favorite songs are posted! (for those who actually give a fuck, aka, myself.)

Until next time,

Stay here, stay queer.

I need a new journal. Why? Honestly it's just because I wanted to quote a song from the new MSI CD. Woot.

I seriously love this song.

My bro gave me a TOTALLY LEGAL discography of MSI so I'm jammin' the hell out.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be getting a new mattress. This one at home breaks my freaking back. Springs poppin' out and shit. So we're thinking of getting one of those adjustable number beds. *shrugs* Whatever works, I need a firmer mattress.

"I love them! They're so hard and delicious!"

Context is everything. My brother was talking about brownies, and how the sides are the best part.

Context. Just like when my dad walked in with me shouting at my brother:

"YOU SHOULD BE GAY!"

Haaaaaa

What I'm really thrilled about for tomorrow is I might be getting a long board. Which makes me sehr sehr thrilled. (shut up, I love germanglish). I'm going to put a bunch of stickers on it, and it's going to be AWESOME.

Other than that. Oh yeah, I'm going to stallis for the weekend. Thank Pond, I'm getting sick of this place.

I really have very little else to say. *shrugs* Which dissappoints me. I want a cool journal for this title...Well whatever


In other news, I want to kill my goldfish. He keeps making popping/snapping/crackling noises by snapping the water with his mouth. It's weird and annoying, especially at 3 AM.

Which reminds me.

"It's three A.M., she won't put out--let's go make out with her friends..."

I think one of these days I'll put up all those quotes from german class, and I'll also get around to scanning all my doodles in my school notebooks from over the years. *shrugs*

Poptarts would be a nice thing to have right now.

A million dollars would be too.

Can you imagine what the people who actually have a million dollars think when they hear the song "If I Had a Million Dollars"? I wonder what they think. They probably don't wish for a million dollars. It probably doesn't occur to them. They're prolly more like "I wish I had a trillion dollars.

Wow this journal sucks.

What the fuck ever.

I wanna make you horny, but I can't get it up.

Which makes me wonder what they look like to everyone else.

Which means half of my works look like crap/the details are invisible to people whose screens darken everything.

Or maybe my laptop is retarded.

Which may explain why when my printer prints them, everything turns out dark and ugly...

For example: My "The Concept of Love" pic. Does anyone who has seen it notice the bathroom style man and woman in the right-hand side of the pic made of pipey tubey things? You can barely see them on this screen, but they're quite visible on my laptop. *shrugs*

Well I may have to make some adjustments in the future to retain my artistic credibility.

Or something like that.

It sounded good in my head.

In other news, I've learned how to ride a skateboard, or more specifically, a longboard. My pals in Stallis taught me. My boyfriend had me try out his EXTREMELY LONG (as in he could ride it into the water and surf on it) board just for the hell of it and it was actually a lot of fun. Mind you, I'm extremely uncoordinated and I still am getting used to going at speeds faster than negative 50 mph, but it was LOADS of fun.

I'm getting better at it and I kinda want to get my own longboard now. I do want either Corey or Joe to be there when I buy it though so they can help me pick out the best for me, but I do want to get one. I still need a bit more practice, but I think I've found a new enjoyable activity for me that doesn't involve sitting on my ass.

At any rate, I'm going to finish this up as I have a few more hours left of hanging out to do, so I leave you with this:

"It is better to close your mouth and be thought an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Words of wisdom from The Drunken Wizard himself, Corey of Stallis.

Toodles,

Now, I'm not an advocate for drugs, everyone who knows me knows I'm pretty much straightedge. But this article pisses me off. Why do they have it? To make marijuana look like some catastrophic drug that makes lives horrible.

Now, listen, I understand that drugs fuck people up. And most of the retards getting high all the time are probably less worried about their responsibilities than the rest of us, but let's be fair here. Given the choice between pot and, say, hmm...crack, heroin, etc. I'd have to say pot makes far less of an impact on peoples' lives.

Now why is this article flawed? Mainly because they are working under the assumption that correlation equals causation, which it DOES NOT.

"A teen who has been depressed at some point in the past year is more than twice as likely to have used marijuana as teens who have not reported being depressed"

Well how about this. What if it was because someone who is depressed is more likely to experiment with drugs as some way to solve their problems or escape or cope.

Now they don't directly say that Marijuana causes depression or makes it worse, as they are pretty vague in their thesis statement:

"Depression, teens and marijuana are a dangerous mix that can lead to dependency, mental illness or suicidal thoughts, according to a White House report being released Friday."

However, the way they paint it and throw words together leave the unthinking mind to believe that marijuana causes depression or at least makes people more susceptible to it.

"Smoking marijuana can lead to more serious problems, Walters said in an interview.

For example, using marijuana increases the risk of developing mental disorders by 40 percent, the report said. And teens who smoke pot at least once a month over a yearlong period are three times more likely to have suicidal thoughts than nonusers, it said."

Look at that! First of all. The risk of developing mental disorders is associated with smoking pot. Maybe people who are at risk for mental disorders are more likely to smoke pot. And the suicidal thing? Perhaps they already had suicidal thoughts and they turned to pot to try and fix themselves with an escape. So of course they would be more likely to have it than nonusers.

This study should not be called "teen use of pot can lead to dependancy, mental ilness" but rather "mental ilness and teen use of pot linked" because that is FAR less biased.

"The report also cited research that showed that teens who smoke marijuana when feeling depressed were more than twice as likely as their peers to abuse or become addicted to pot — 8 percent compared with 3 percent."

Same thing here. It's just the way they're presenting it. Totally biased.

""I've seen many, many kids' lives negatively impacted and taken off track because of marijuana," said Elizabeth Stanley-Salazar, director of adolescent services for Phoenix House treatment centers in California. "It's somewhat Russian roulette. There are so many factors, emotional, psychological, biological. You can't predict the experimentation and how it will impact a kid.""

That may be so. Of course doing pot will impact your life. I'm not disagreeing with that. Anything abused can ruin your life and fuck things up.

Why isn't anyone mentioning alcohol abuse in teens? To me that seems far more of an issue. Do you see the majority of teens saying to their peers "hey guys, let's go get high this weekend"? No, you see them going "come on, let's all get wasted".

I speak this truth as a teen myself. I'm crossing the line into adulthood, mind you, but I still know my surroundings.

"While the drop is encouraging, Walters appealed to parents to recognize signs of possible drug use and depression.

"It's not something you look the other way about when your teen starts appearing careless about their grooming, withdrawing from the family, losing interest in daily activities," Walters said. "Find out what's wrong.""

Of course. Those are the signs of depression.

And if drug use is correlated to depression, let's just say that, rather than drawing conclusions and presenting something biased.

The moral of this story?

Don't believe everything you read. Because statistics and research can be bent and twisted with words in whatever shape their manipulator wants the people to see.

"I'd like to la-la-la-la-love you"

Manson has such a way with arranging words. I love it!

"Unsafe cheerleaders, porn poms and pipe bombs"

This song being Ka-boom Ka-boom.

Or here's another one of my favorites, Slutgarden.

"I'll pretend that I want you for what is on the inside
But when I get inside I'll just want to get out
I'm your first and last deposit through sickness and in hell
I'll never you promise you a garden, you'll just water me down

I can't believe that you are for real
I don't care as long as you're mine

When I said "we" I know I meant "me"
And when I said "sweet" I meant "dirty"
When I said "we" I know I meant "me"
And when I said "sweet" I meant "dirty"

I'm unsafe
I'm unsafe
I won't repent
So I memorize the words to the porno movies
It's the only thing I want to believe"

The old in out in out, yes? Haha. I'm going to be quoting this book for a while, I'm guessing.

Which brings me to something I've been thinking about for a while. Yes, the old in out, but more importantly, how all the words involving it just send my creative juices flowing. First it was the ultra-violence and now...Okay seriously, if I get annoying with the nadsat, someone can punch me in the face. I'm just having so much fun with this!!!!

Anyways, since we're on the subject of lust, here's a fabulous poem by a man named John Donne, whose poetry is some in a series of poems we're studying in my Brit. Lit. class:

"The Flea"
by John Donne

"Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is ;
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead ;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ;
And this, alas ! is more than we would do.

O stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is.
Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,
And cloister'd in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to kill me,
Let not to that self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.

Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it suck'd from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou
Find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now.
'Tis true ; then learn how false fears be ;
Just so much honour, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee."

-------------------------------------------------

Believe it or not, that was a poem about a man trying to persuade his lover to have sex with him. If you read it line by line and figure out what is being said, it's actually a very hilarious poem. Those guys back in the medieval times sure were a randy bunch.

So what's all this talk about anyway?

Well, I don't really know.
I'm sure it will be soon reflected in my artwork, though, that much I can tell you.

What else is new? Well, I've discovered a new love for tea. I bought a box of raspberry tea a while back at the suggestion of my good friend and after having tried some tea at a friend's. Mind you, I didn't like the taste of either, yet I found it had a calming effect upon me. And after more suggestions from friends, I now add a little honey to it and it tastes fabulous. Add to that the day my creative writing teacher brought in some Masala Chai for the class and I loved the taste of that on its own, so now I'm wondering if I'm a tea person. Oh, how tastes change over the years. It amazes me so.

But I'm finding when I get hungry for something I've been substituting it with tea, and I no longer want a snack, plus I have a way to calm my nerves when I'm stressed.

Speaking of stress, I've had a chat or two now with the ol' skinna-ma-shrinky-dink and it's worked wonders on my self-confidence. That, or I'm cooincidentally caught in an abnormally long spell of up up ups.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now for something we hope you'll really like!

The lyrics reminded me of stuffs. By stuffs of course I mean school shootings. Lord knows, though, EVERYTHING reminds me of school shootings. But I digress.

Part of the reason I've had it on my mind recently is I'm currently working on a documentary/research project of sorts. And by "currently working on" I don't mean the brand of "currently working on" associated with me and my comic series and countless other lofty projects I've started and have yet to finish/make progress with. This particular lofty project needs to be done in a timely fashion, and I WILL get it done. I'm hoping to work on it a bit these next two semesters (plus the remainder of the one I'm in) and, while it's ambitious to have done before I'll apply to the school of Education next year, at least I'll have SOMETHING to show them when I put it in my portfolio.

Step One: (Or rather, STEPS)

Part a: Create surveys pertinent to the subject area of study.
Part b: Contact numerous high schools and ask for their participation in such surveys.
Part c: Incorporate myself and have fancy business cards.

I loooooove part c. Basically I'ma make mahself an LLC and thus semi-protect myself from liability issues. And besides. I wanna make fancy business cards so I can be all professional and whatnot. Win.

The other two parts of that I thought up today whilst commuting to the high school where I tutor for my C&I class.

More news on that later. I wanna keep it kinda vague because I've got my ideas and I don't want 'em stolen.

Ironically, we now turn our attention to the part of the journal where I disclose vital plot information about my next (or first to be actually drawn) comic--despite the fact that anyone could steal this idea. But it's not like the whole world reads my journals, right?

Lolz I will someday regret those words, I am sure of it.

SO without further ado, I present to you the premise behind my next comic, currently titled (temporarily or not) "Lucid." (which may or may not be a lame title, which is why it's kinda temporary or something)

The basic plot of Lucid is about a dude named Eukariah, aka Morpheus (lolretardedlycliche) who wants to learn to have lucid dreams in order to escape his increasingly unbearable reality.

Summary of beginning: Eukariah (and if anyone wants to know where I got this name, ask me or my bro. Lolz.) goes through his days and nights--so we see part of his daily life, and then in other parts, what he dreams about. In the beginning there are weird-ass dreams that he has little, if any, control over. He is just starting to learn how to lucid dream.

Summary of middle: Eukie (as I'm suddenly nick-naming him) hones his lucid dreaming abilities and starts having clearer and more controlled (yet still weird-ass) dreams. The waking life presented in the comic, however, starts to become a bit more blurred.

Summary of end: Something significant happens. Of course, I myself know what this event is, but hey--I'm not giving it away. I plan to make this comic into just one book, as opposed to a series of books like Greyline will be. It's gonna be practice enough for me anyhow.

So what's the big deal about Lucid?

I see it as a dream. Well, sorta.

In the first part of the comic, the reader reads it and initially goes "what the hell, this stuff is so crazy, there's no way this story is true. It must be fiction."

An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.

Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly —
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Wo!

That motley drama — oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.

But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes! — it writhes! — with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And the angels sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.

Out — out are the lights — out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm."

"The Conqueror Worm"
--Edgar Allan Poe

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it's so cliche to quote Poe, but be happy I didn't choose "The Raven" or something.

I just wanted to share that poem, however, because I love it so.

And now I must return to memorizing middle english x.x

I betcha I can type it out riggght now.

"Whan that April with its showeres soote
The droughte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veine in swich licour
That which vertu engendered is the flowr
Whan Zephyrus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halve cours yronne
And smale fowles maken melodye
That sleepen all the night with open ye
So priketh hem nature in hir corages
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmerers for to seeken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, coothe, in sondry laundes
And specially in every shires ende
Of Engelond to Canterbury they wende
The holy blisful martyr for to seeke
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seke"

Mad skills.

I probably spelled some of that wrong, but whatever.

It's the first 18 lines of Canterbury Tales, and I have to memorize it. Joy!

Oh yeah and happy V-day, all.

What a rip off, you know?

Lawlz
-------------------------------------------------------------

Well, well, well! What have we here? Research that humans crave violence? Imagine that!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaa:
[link]

"New research on mice shows the brain processes aggressive behavior as it does other rewards. Mice sought violence, in fact, picking fights for no apparent reason other than the rewarding feeling.

The mouse brain is thought to be analogous to the human brain in this study, which could shed light on our fascination with brutal sports as well as our own penchant for the classic bar brawl.

In fact, the researcher say, humans seem to crave violence just like they do sex, food or drugs.

Love to fight

Scientists have known that mice and other animals are drawn to fights. Until now, they didn't know how the brain was involved.

The new study, detailed online this week in the journal Psychopharmacology, reveals the same clusters of brain cells involved in other rewards are also behind the craving for violence.

"Aggression occurs among virtually all vertebrates and is necessary to get and keep important resources such as mates, territory and food," said study team member Craig Kennedy, professor of special education and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. "We have found that the reward pathway in the brain becomes engaged in response to an aggressive event and that dopamine is involved."

Mouse brawl

For the experiments, the researchers placed a pair of mice, one male and one female, in a cage. Then, the female was removed and a so-called male intruder mouse entered the cage. That triggered aggressive behavior in the resident male. The tell-tale signs of aggression included tail rattle, an aggressive sideways stance, boxing and biting.

After the initial scuffle ended, the resident male mouse was trained to nose-poke a target to get the intruder to return. Results showed the home mouse consistently poked the target and fought with the introduced mouse, indicating, the researchers say, that the aggressive encounter was seen as a reward.

"We learned from these experiments that an individual will intentionally seek out an aggressive encounter solely because they experience a rewarding sensation from it," Kennedy said.

To figure out whether the brain's reward pathway was involved, the scientists treated the home mice with a drug to block dopamine in certain parts of the brain known to be involved in rewards like food and drugs.

The treated mice were less likely to instigate the intruder's entry. “This shows for the first time that aggression, on its own, is motivating, and that the well-known positive reinforcer dopamine plays a critical role," Kennedy said.

Human violence

Kennedy explained that the experiments have implications for humans. The reward pathway in the brains of humans and mice are very similar, he said.

"Aggression is highly conserved in vertebrates in general and particularly in mammals," Kennedy told LiveScience. "Almost all mammals are aggressive in some way or another."

He added, "It serves a really useful evolutionary role probably, which is you defend territory; you defend your mate; if you're a female, you defend your offspring."

Even though it served a purpose for other animals, in modern human societies, Kennedy said, a propensity toward aggression is not beneficial and can be a problem."

DID YOU KNOW THAT?
NOW YOU KNOW.

Lol. I love Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Anyways, that just amuses the hell out of me. Especially because last night I was trying to make an argument in an "essay" I was writing, and it had something or other to do with why people kill. And the article I read just now slightly has relevance to it, therefore it amuses me even more.

Although, in all honesty, when have I needed relevance of something in order for it to amuse me? Haha. Deviled oeggs, bitch.

They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
We all must meet our moment of truth

The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang with
could set you up and wet you up, nigga peep the language
It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
it doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
But I can't jeapordize, what I have done up to this point
So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
You know I be the masterof the who what where and why
See when you're shinin, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
But just as you'll receive what is comin to you
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
That everyone must meet their moment of truth

Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
You may not know the harships people don't speak of
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
For we all must meet our moment of truth

Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere
Why do bad things happen, to good people?
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
The situation that I'm facin, is mad amazin
to think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
Now I'm contemplatin in my bedroom pacin
Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin
Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy
Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin high
Cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate
the anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before
So I oughta be able, to withstand some more
But I'm sweatin though, my eyes are turnin red and yo
I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
And now some skanless motherfuckers wanna take what's mine
But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
So like they say, every dog has it's day
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth

Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
Yeah the bitin triflin niggaz, and the studio pranksters
Yo lookin at the situation plainly: will you remain G?
Or will you be looked upon strangely?
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Revolvin on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphots
I explore more, to expose the core
A lot of MC's, act stupid to me
And we have yet to see, if they can match our longevity
But anyway it's just another day
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can't push or shove it
You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it
The king of monotone, with my own throne
Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones
Stormin your hideout, blockin out your sunlight
Your image and your business, were truly not done right
Throw up your he-Allah-I now, divine saviors
You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya
No pager, no celly, no drop top Benz-y
I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
Cause you must meet your moment of truth

A grunt (from the Halo series, but most of you know that) 3-D model for Poser. (Poser being a totally rad 3-D animation program, in case you don't know.)

I want to see if there is a way to take the actual models from the game and import them (somehow) into Poser.

Because, let me tell you. I would have some fun. I heart Poser. I haven't made stuff in that program in FOREVER.

I want a grunt...

If someone is able to find a way to do this (or find one for me) I will love you forever and ever.

But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

I am uncertain.
I am afraid.
I am certain and hopeful
but I doubt my reasoning.
Basing action upon human emotion--
can it really be done properly?

I'm not sure what that smell in the air is, but it's been bothering me all night. Like old rubber or the time I accidentally lit the tube on fire with the bunsen burner in chemistry class.

How many essays have I written tonight? Too many to be a good reason to lose sleep.

Is it really the essays that influence my decisions? Why can't I make up my mind?

I keep trying to locate the origin of the scent. I don't want something to be burning without my knowledge. Ever since the fish tank overflowed while I slept, I don't trust that thing.

Maybe I'm the thing that smells.

I know at some point I'll be cleaning this room. Perhaps after I write the last essay of the night.

Deep yawns but eyes wide open. Caffeine and lack of sleep does that to you.

My sentence structures sound a bit like books. I've been doing too much involving the English language lately.

I even went back to capitalize "english". This time I didn't to prove I don't care. But I was about to capitalize it. I was even about to italicize "was". Which I just typed as "way" before I fixed it.

I wonder how long I could have kept going before I'd not make a typo to tell you about...

I'm glad this song is the non-edited part. Ass crack isn't really THAT bad of a word.

Is it just the empty bottles that are making this smell? Or is it my comptuer? Is it overheating? It's not this mug here--it smells like dried chocolate.

I am uncertain if I stay
but I am uncertain if I leave.
I wait to find where I should go
or if I should go at all.

"Time will tell" as they say and
I wonder if in the end it even matters
whatever happens
sure emotions make things matter
but does it in the end?
Does it matter if my archaic concepts of chastity and love
disappear
because I am impatient?

Does it matter if I never get a job I want
Does it matter if the essay I wrote earlier tonight
Is just as bad as I know it to be?
If the TA notices the historical inaccuracy of my argument?
If he notices how similar in

I'm not going to finish that.
I don't want to have to explain my innocence to you.

Don't ask about that, because I can't explain it anyway.

I can, but I'm lazy.

So lazy I put "lazy" instead of making something elaborate that sounds nice. Something that sounds like prose.

Or poetry.

Which am I trying to achieve?

I wonder if the person behind my wall can hear my music.

I'm hearing things now.

No one messaged me but I heard a familiar soft giggle.

I want to talk about everything but

When do you find the time?
You can... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15515021/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15515021/ Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:49:03 PST
eBay CAN be used for good!

So I was laying in bed just now and suddenly I got a FAAAAANtastic idea.

WHO WANTS TO BUY SOME OF MY STUFF!!!!!



Oh you know you do.

Well here's the deal. I got this great idea. I know I will attempt at least half of it.

Material possessions: Think about it. They don't truly make one happy, now do they? So I thought...hmm...I should sell my stuff. Yes. That is a good idea.

I was just thinking of it since I was perusing shit on eBay AGAIN...

Material possessions. I am happy with the bare essentials. If I have a chair to sit in, I don't care if it doesn't match anything. It is comfortable, I picked it up off the side of the road for FREE and it does its job. And then I got to thinking, you know, that's the problem. Why do people have matching furniture sets and whatnot? Because it looks nice? To whom? Them? What are they trying to prove? That they have money and can afford nice furniture? I dunno it seems so superficial to me. Kinda like my mom's house. haha. But seriously. What is the POINT of it all?

Which is why despite the fact I have a themed room (at my dad's)--it DOES look cool but does it serve any real purpose? No, not really. It looks cool and you can show it off to people. Yeah but to whom? Yes, come look at my nice furniture. This isn't a museum, it's a house, and dammit I can't add this egyptian statue to my oriental themed room, for crying out loud, it's themed! Yeah so uh it seems pointless now to me.....

SO why not get rid of the stuff I don't ABSOLUTELY need?

I have totally way too much stuff first of all. Seeing as how I've simultaneously lived in two houses the greater part of my life and now it's more like three (with my dorm), stuff accumulates. (Not to mention my basement fun room of awesome that I was a dunce never to take a picture of before taking it down...oh well, it's all in my memory...and someday when they invent memory sharing devices, I invite you all to join me in my magical happy land of fun.)

Now that being said, I don't think I will part with ALL of my stuff. (Obviously I need certain things to survive such as a microwave and essentials. I'm not a hippie, just trying to lighten my load a bit.) There are certain things that I have a sort of nostalic bond with, (and besides, that shit NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would buy anyway,) and there are some things that uh I just will keep (such as my pokemon cards/stuff. Yeah shuddup.)

But think about it. I will make some money, make some space, and it will be less of a bitch to carry everything when I finally someday get a place of my own.

But it WILL take time to sort everything and whatnot. So I figure....what if I stay home in LG this summer and do it? I may or may not have a job, but I'm hoping I don't, or at least hope it won't be full time like last summer. I want some time to DO SHIT FOR ONCE, so I will see if I can't spend my summer making my hunter costume for next halloween, selling shit on eBay and in rummage sales, and learning how to drive. I think I can get my dad to let me stay over the summer if I tell him it will also to be for something useful like that. Haha.

So yeah I'll have some stuff left but the shit I really don't need...sayonara. I'm also going to try and make myself less materialistic in the future. I kinda have a "ooh look that's neat let's buy it!" problem >.>

It's a LITTLE problem, mind you. But little costs add up.

But honestly, if I had to give up everything I owned to keep the things I love the most in life, the things I TRULY love--Hell I'd do it without any hesitation. That's what I was thinking about whilst lying in bed...and I think it's a good thing.

Hopefully though I won't have to give it all up hahaha. What can I say, I like my stuff.

But instead of being a retard like I was with my basement room, I'm ACTUALLY going to take pics of stuff first.

Woot for me.

That being said....

May the Schwarz be with you all.

This is a Randomflyingpigeons Update on....bum bum bum....

THE IDIOCY OF SCHOOL SYSTEMS

As usual we are dedicated to bringing you up-to-date (or up-to-your-mom-for-all-I-care) news on the complete retardedness of American (and any country, for that matter) schools.

Today we have for you a recent story of a middle school in Illinois that gave a girl two detentions for hugging her two friends.

Yes. That's right. They've now banned....hugs.

What kind of sick people are they?! GAH.

Well it turns out that hugs fall under the category of "Public Displays of Affection," and thus are not tolerated by the school.

In my opinion there's a definite difference between making out and hugging your buddy. This over-the-top punishing shit is ridiculous. The teacher who gave the detentions was probably A. stupid, B. bored, C. had some weird-ass grudge, or D. fell into the trap of something that the Stanford Prison Experiment showed--that people who are given roles to play often become their roles and well....shit goes down.

Haha. Go me for using Psych info. Woot. *waves a little paper flag*

But seriously. Do teachers really feel like they need to punish kids for something so much so that they take any excuse they can get to do so? Seriously...this is ridiculous.

And there can be no bullshit about "I'm just doing my job." Number one, if the principal is REALLY that strict about PDA then he/she deserves a kick in the face, and number two, if the teacher is so sheep-like that they follow what the principal says to the very last minute order, and when questioned says "I'm just doing my job," then the teacher also deserves to be kicked in the face. First of all, don't give me this "I'm just doing my job" bullshit, that's the kinda shit nazis said when they were on trial.

Note: (I tend to bring the Nazi example up a lot, and it's a harsh comparison to make, but I feel its necessary to point out what following authority can bring people to do. True, that wasn't the only factor in Nazis coming to power, there were far more reasons for this, but my point is that gradually, over time, mindless obedience can be grown, and it takes little, naive, steps like this. I'm not saying that schools will become Nazis. Stop being a bitch and let me get on with my rant.)

First of all it is not a teacher's "job" to punish students. A teacher's job is primarily, if not more classically, to teach, and also to provide help, guidance, nourishment, etc. to a child. Secondly teachers should have the brains to realize that such strict and mindless enforcement of the rules not only is ineffective and leads to a distancing of trust between the student body and the administration, but also between a student and the teacher him/herself. Create distance and you have less of a chance of creating the unique bond between student and teacher that needs to be present in order to properly "do one's job." You also create a pretty shitty environment for kids to come to school to.

That being said....

Another thing I recently saw in the news was that some school/schools in England were starting to embed microchips in the uniforms of students.

First of all this is a complete violation of privacy--I don't care how young they are but privacy should be a right for everyone--not to mention the fact that little additions to surveilence here and there are eventually going to lead up to no privacy whatsoever for ANYONE. While that is of course an apocalyptic view of the future, it's very much a possibility...call me paranoid but...eh...I digress.

Secondly, folks, this is the age-old problem of treating the symptoms and not the ilness itself. They got the idea for this microchips because they figured they would better be able to monitor students, and make sure they aren't skipping class or whatnot. While this seems like an okay idea, it's flawed; the news article points out that clothing can be bought elsewhere, and someone could easily swap clothes and have a friend carry the other person's clothes with them through the day.

Forget for one second that it's a flawed idea. The main problem is that they are forgetting to realize the underlying reason kids skip class in the first place--they don't like school. While I realize it's a major task to get kids to like school, and it's really not totally possible, there are some things that can be changed that might make kids want to stay in class. Then you wouldn't have to worry about monitoring them so much. Of course, this would have to change even down through elementary school, because at some point the natural joy of learning in children is extinguished mercilessly, and... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15383937/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15383937/ Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:50:06 PST

So I stole the idea from who stole it from someone else.

These are some of the images that come up when I google my name--except I don't use google, I use yahoo because yahoo is FAIL. Think about it, if a badass uses something that is also badass, that's a lot of badass to be contained in one room, let alone one computer. Okay so google isn't really badass but still, I happen to be 100%. You want proof? Well here you go:

Okay randomflyingpigeons doesn't work so let's go with my shortened name, Random.

ARGH

These people SICKEN ME.

Seriously. Yes they are protected by the constitution for freedom of speech. But dammit, it's called HAVING RESPECT FOR OTHERS.

How can they intrude upon soldiers' funerals like that. God damn, the family has been through enough, how can they do that? Do they not care that they are hurting people? ARGH.

It sickens me when people do not take peoples' feelings into consideration.

Haha like I'm one to talk, right? Well I ain't perfect I suppose. But meh. Fuckin' westboro church can burn for all I care. grrrrr.....

TO:Wrath@mindofrandom.com; Dyscrasia@mindofrandom.com; Lateo@mindofrandom.com; the_world@theuniverse.co.uk
FROM:Random F. Pigeons
SUBJECT: A PROCLAMATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A Proclamation to the synthesizers of madness, and a message to all those who will soon know of my existence:

You. Let it be known to you that I, Randomflyingpigeons, have formally declared independence and full autonomy from your suffocating, binding, and ultimately destructive reign over my mind. Let it be known that I permanently declare a state of war against your assumed dominance and authoritarianism, and I will not stop fighting until peace can finally prevail, that is, once your complete destruction or imprisonment has been ensured. When your threats no longer take effect within me, when your snarls and glimmering fangs cease to instill fear upon me, when I may, once and forever, rise up beneath your monstrous weight without strain, this being will be completely at peace. Until then, I fight.

You have controlled me. I have been your slave and pet; I have been used and mistreated, sapped and devoured for your own personal nourishment. You are the one who ties the belt around my neck, you are the one who wraps your aura around me--not as a comfort, but as a reminder that I will never find total peace. You who surrounds me with shards, hindering any movement, you who guides my restless fingers to regret, it is you--only you--who tries to prevent me from becoming the one thing I was born to become, and that is, something great.

I am tired of the years of bullshit you have caused, and now it's my turn to do the same to you. But don't think for one second that it will come when you are ready--no, never. After all, when have your attacks EVER come upon me at a convinient time? No, this is something that you will never see coming, and when it happens, may existence have mercy upon you.

You have used me, and now I will use you. Let this proclamation forever etch itself into your sight; let these words forever clamor and echo in your mind the way your ceaseless whimpering, insults and verbal cruelty has reverberated down the halls of my own for longer than I can remember. Let it be known to you that I will never stop fighting. I will never surrender, no matter how far you push me, I will never give up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer:

If for one moment anyone reading this gets an entirely WRONG idea about this, do me a favor: pluck it from your mind and toss it into the garbage. Yes, I realize it's annoying to have to ruin a perfectly good piece of bitter revenge literature for the sake of adding a disclaimer, but you know what? It's necessary. Someone might take this for some sort of attack against the world or some stupid thing like that. The bottom line is--if you think that for one second I'd ever do anything violent you are a fucking idiot. Thank you, and have a pleasant day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Always and forever,

Random

P.S.

One more thing, since I'm in a ranting kind of mood:

Let's get something straight here. Just because I take an interest/mention/think for one second about something does NOT mean I have suddenly converted to being a follower of such concept. Ever hear the old saying "correlation does not equal causation"? Well you should pay attention to it, it's one of my personal mottos and a defense against utter stupidity.
Here are some examples of things you should think about before assuming:

1. Just because I mention smoking ONCE in a narrative I wrote, does NOT mean I have suddenly taken up smoking. It's called FICTION. And it wasn't even about me, so seriously, lay off the crap.

2. Just because I go out and buy a trench coat does NOT mean that I am going out to buy it because of some grand Columbine-esque scheme or that I "worship" the killers. Of course, for some who have assumed such an idea it's a little too late to mention this, but I feel like getting it off my chest anyway. (Also let's not get into that whole "stop blaming me" thing. This isn't what this is about, so don't even go there.)

3. Just because I read "Mein Kampf" for a class, which is a Nazi Culture class, mind you, and take german language classes does NOT mean I've become a nazi. Take your panic button off your face and stop hitting yourself. Calm the hell down, and remember that I'm a leader, not a follower. Why on earth would I join some ridiculous ideology that OBVIOUSLY is ignorant and racist? I'd also like to take this moment to defe... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15073318/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/15073318/ Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:09:50 PDT ************ WHOEVER GETS MY 4,444 PAGEVIEW BETTER TELL ME!!!!*********** I'll love you forever!

Seriously. Take a look the next time you're eating a hot pocket at the innards of the beast. (Or if you've never eaten a hot pocket, take a look at arteries of someone with arteriosclerosis. It's a stretch, but they look pretty much the same.)

But there is something that astounds me about these hot pockets--their outer covering remains solid and soft, and doesn't get soggy no matter how long I microwave it. Astounding!

Mind you, this is remnants of the first hot pocket I've ever eaten. I say remnants because only a madman can eat a whole one of these in one sitting.

In other news, [NPC] Random has just kicked the shit out of her history midterm, and even after all that worrying it all came down to that good ol' famous Lucas luck. Which begs the question: Say I get married or get put into the witness protection program and have to change my name. Say my name is changed to Lola Pakistan. Then what. Is it the Pakistan luck? I don't think so. Pakistan for one thing begins with a P. So it would have to be something like, "the Pakistan Perkiness" or "the Pakistan Perversion." Which, fitting or not, can't replace the aesthetic perfection of "Lucas Luck."

Bitches you know my last name pwns.

What else can I offer the good people? Hm...

In the clothing department Random has discovered she is in desparate need of some new shoes. Not that it's of any consequence to you good folks, but it was on my mind....

Cookies, for the win.

Ah, but what is a cookie? A miserable pile of secrets! I--er...What is a cookie without milk, anyways. (That's what I get for hanging around Joe and his pals for too long. Now every time I hear the words "but what is a..." I have the immediate urge to answer with, "A miserable pile of secrets!" *shakes fist* But enough talk, have at you!)

*giggles devilishly* So Paris Hilton wants to help people in Africa. A good cause, but I can't help but notice whenever stars want to stop being followed by the punk-a-razzi, they go to Africa. Why not help the children in their own country? Not that I have anything against helping Africa, but keep in mind, wasn't it the Europeans in the first place who took on "the White Man's Burden" to "educate" and "guide" the natives of Africa? Then again, you may argue "Well we fucked it up, we should fix it." True dat, I'm not against it at all. But in the meantime...eh you know what, let's drop the subject for now and focus on something less daunting.

Yeah I just ain't in the mood to rant as much as normal. I gots other stuff to focus on. Such as schoolwork, which, being a good student and all, of COURSE I'm doing in the time between my last class and my next one, right?

...

Oh you know me. ^_^

"And oh the shame!"
"He was a shame!"
"Thought of changing my name!"
"Oh what's in a name?"
"And I got downhearted...every time that I--"
"Pumba, not in front of the kids..."
"Oh..."

Word to the mighty shuffle function! *words*

Anywho, I think I'ma end this insanity before it gets too much more...well I'm definately all for more insanity, but I have better things to do.

Ta ta, y'all, and someone please ask the Magic Keyboard Fairy to fix my comma key....It's driving me mad having to press extra hard on that button. It's like I'm pissed every time I want to pause.

i.e.:
"And then [COMMA!!!] I helped the kid [COMMA!@%#$!!!] who was about to get hit by a semi [COMMALOL!1!!] get out of the way [smooth jazz period]"

Smooth jazz period? That lends itself to strange imagery.

Scene: Woman sitting in bathroom stall

Woman: "Fuckshitdamn I have my period."
German subtitle: "Fuckscheisssomegermanwordfordamn Ich habe meine Tage."

*unwraps pad from plastic wrapper*

*reads wrapper*

Wrapper: "Yo yo yo have a happy period" (they really DO say this, mind you, but without the funk.)
Subtitle: "Yo yo yo hab eine gute Tage!"

Woman: "What the fuck? Have a happy period? Ain't no such fuckin' thing, lyin' piece O' shit."
Subtitle: "Frau Lucas hat keine Idee wie man kann diese Wörter sagen"

*Suddenly, from above, music starts playing*

Woman: "Hot damn, that sounds like smooth jazz. I'ma have me a smooth jazz period."
Subtitle: "Je suis un oiseau."

SO! Who wants to buy these for me I'll love you forever and ever!
haha yeah right. I'd feel bad if someone spent 200 bucks on me. Or 70 for that matter just for the one.

I do have a b-day coming up....LOL yeah right.

Santa Claus, you can forget about that $200 air compressor I wanted....halo gunssssss..... *drools*

omg...I wish I had 200 bucks to spend on something other than school. ;_;

Dammit I wish I was allowed to buy stupid shit I don't need but really much would enjoy having every now and then.

I'll tell you, if I was rich.... *shakes fist*

Seriously. At least one of them for my grunt costume--no better yet, if they had a needler one--mmkay, if they had a needler one--first: I'd piss my pants, and then second: I'd buy it without a second thought.

*dies*

Speaking of which I really need to get started on my remake of the Grunt costume, either that or start making my Hunter one..which...I need dad to teach me how to make fiberglass shit first...Then again I COULD go with cardboard like I did last time, but unfortunately I'm in the middle of a different cardboard project (which is actually for school.) So yeah.

What the hell will I be this halloween anyway...Probably the same as last year *sad me*
One of these days I'll finish my khaod warrior costume. I'm halfway there, dammit. Rawr!

Ah german class, how I heart thee.

So yeah. How're y'all doin'? My my, that's three words with apostrophes in a row. I must be an apostrophe extremist.

Yeah. If you couldn't tell I'm bored.

But at least I'm doing homework.

This semester seems like it's not nearly going to be as bad (workload wise) as last semester. My history class is the only one I'll be doing much reading for, otherwise I have third semester German and two art classes. As much as I want to keep taking art classes though, unfortunately I'm thinking I'll have to stop after this semester if I plan on getting all my classes out of the way for being an English Ed. major...HAR HAR HAR.
>.>
<.<

Yeah basically I don't want to think about that. Thinking about that makes me think "shit I'm not taking english classes..." and it stresses me out. But I'm definitely trying to get into a creative writing class this semester, one that I'm interested in taking to improve my skills--also I can use it as one of my requirements for both general classes and my major-specific ones. Woot woot.

Did you guys know that fish yawn? Apparently they do. My goldfish yawns occasionally and it's freaking awesome. Well...maybe my fish just doesn't get time to sleep with me always being up late...but he can do it during the day, can't he? I dunno. Do fish even sleep? I suppose they have to in some form or another. All I know is this little fishie is a cute little guy, and I heart him. I got him a bigger tank so now he's swimmin' around happily.

Um....what was the point of this journal? Eh....Ich weiss nicht.

Anyway, I should get back to doing the homework. I have to finish Frankenstein for next week. But I've already read it so it won't be a problem.

Ta ta for now, folks.

Today's journal has been brought to you by FAIL, and the number 7! 8D

1.How do you usually introduce yourself to people?
I don't introduce myself to people unless they introduce themselves first. Generally I do not go out on a limb to meet someone.

2.what is the longest plane ride you’ve been on?
The one to Florida when I was a kid, I forget how long it was...and actually that's the only one I've been on.

3. Where do you usually order pizza from?
It used to be Ed's when I lived in Sellery but since I live in Lakeshore now, I order from Carson's...which is the same pizza, really.

4. Have you ever been to Houston?
No.

5. Have you ever tripped going up steps?
Many a time.

6. Who was the last person to go to the movies with you?
Rina

7. What’s one thing you really hope to do this summer?
Well seeing as how the summer is over, what DID I want to do? I wanted to work on my comic.

8. Do you have a best friend?
They've never said so but it doesn't matter to me, I still use the term.

9. Who’s #1 on your myspace?
le Joseph

10. Are you currently fighting with someone?
Why would I be working on a quiz if I was having an argument at the same time?
Haha. I try to avoid fights in general, so no.

11. Where will you be in the next 12 hours?
I'll probably be going to bed.

12. What did you do 2 nights ago?
I walked to walgreens.

14. Have you ever thrown something out of a moving car?
A piece of gum probably.

15. Next important day on your calendar?
Sept. 27--my birthday

16. Who’s the last person to text message you?
I don't get text messages nor give them.

17. Last wedding you attended?
The only one I've ever attended was the one for my mom and stepdad.

18. Who did you get this quiz from?
My old bus driver

19. If alcohol were banned worldwide, what would your reaction be?
I'd laugh my ass off. But I don't think they'll be banning it anytime soon--ESPECIALLY worldwide, what with all the cultural traditions and whatnot. Unless of course they find out it has teratogens or kills brain cells...OH WAIT, haha! They already know that don't they. My bad. ^_^

Lol seriously though. Everything in moderation. Alcohol is a neutral object which can be used for good or for bad. What they SHOULD do is ban the use of it to the extent alcoholics use it. But that would be rather difficult...

20. How much money did you make today?
Haven't made any, but I'll be working 4-6 so I'll make 18 bucks. Woot woot.

21. How is the weather today?
Sunny, relatively nice.

Sept. 27

26. Do you own a gun?
"I don't have a gat, but I've got a soldering gun" Haha.

27. Are you currently working at a job that you hate?
I only hate it on bad days, other than that I'm happy with my job.

28. Ever skip school and spend the day at the beach?
No. If I skipped school I'd probably just stay at home.

29. Last time you had butterflies in your stomach?
Last night, whilst reminiscing...

30. Who was the last person you drove with?
The people on the route 80 bus.

I'm doing alright, I'm getting over my cold. How are you?

32. When you are in a good mood what do you do?
Dance, sing, act crazy, talk and talk and talk, be silly, etc.

33. Do you have any really crazy relatives?
Haha. Yes as a matter of fact.

34. People get depressed, are you the one they turn to?
Please, if everyone who ever got depressed turned to me, I'd have way too many people to deal with. But I hope that a few people would be comfortable turning to me.

35. Does anyone in life know the real you?
Haha, I don't even know the real me half the time, so this is a subject of debate.

"Your product is damaged and your reputation is damaged, and ultimately your profitability is damaged..."

Proof right there that all they fucking care about in the end is their god damned money.

WHY NOT STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR STUFF TO CHINA TO MAKE CHEAPER THINGS? Why do they do it? It's not to get cheaper products to customers, no. They don't sell them for nearly as cheap as it is to make the shit, but the difference between sell price and the little money it takes to make the product...GUESS WHERE THAT GOES? IN THEIR FAT FUCKING WALLETS. And they don't give a shit if it ruins our economy, and eventually, will lead to China's uprising and our downfall as the so-called "dominant" country in the world.

You know what? We fucking have it coming and we deserve every bit of karma that'll get thrown back at us.

Better start learning Chinese, kids....

It's just like this god damned university. Or any other university for that matter. Those professors are way too fucking overpaid, and the university itself wastes so much money on stupid ass shit--and in the meantime we students have to sell our souls to pay for college. This isn't a place of learning, it's just another corporation. Yes, I am aware this is a top school and the fascilities and shit are nice, but I wonder how much money from my tuition is spent on the fucking football stadium every year. EXACTLY. And people like me like to complain about tuition. Well I have news for you--you're helping those fucks. And don't fucking bitch about money when you're spending it all on shoes, clothes, booze and who the hell knows what else. I love the irony of those who get financial aid and then with the money they DO have they spend it on shit they don't need.

YES I AM AWARE I'M A HYPOCRITE, I'm JUST stating the facts here.

OR how about my employer, University Housing. We as employees rarely have working equipment, we are often short the chemicals we need to clean stuff with, and also we often do not have the right tools for the tasks we need to get done--i.e. we had to use snowshovels and carts to mulch with, when it would have been FAR easier and more sensible to use a wheelbarrow and pitchforks. But do we have those? No.

And another thing--upper management seems to think they can treat their employees as personal slaves. I'm not going to name names for that might risk my job, but I can think of many a time this has happened. A certain upper level employee and some others were doing inspection of the rooms we had just cleaned to check for mistakes. They sat in one of the dens we had also just cleaned and chilled a bit. They consequently had moved the chairs around to get comfortable. You know what happened next? They marked down on the checklist of things to correct--fix the chairs in the den. AS IF THEY WERE TOO GOOD TO PUSH IN THEIR OWN CHAIRS. Lazy fucking bastards. It wouldn't be such a problem if they were fucking NICE to their employees once in a while and didn't bitch them out for things beyond their control. Jeezus christ, people, a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a barrel of vinegar. Will people ever learn this SIMPLE CONCEPT???

There, I needed to rant. Now, for your listening pleasure, here's some music, take your pick or listen to them all--they're all damn good songs. Enjoy, bitches and hoes.

Megadeth--"A Tout le Monde" And I just found out they have a newer version of this song--IT SUCKS ASS
Hoobastank--"Disappear" If anything, watch this one because the movie and song are both FANTASTIC
Korn--"Sing Sorrow" Bonus song from their new album
Garbage--"Bleed Like Me" Good song
Eminem--"Without Me" (stupid retarded radio edit) Pretty much my theme song in life as I write my comic
t.A.T.u.--"Robot" Jammability is number 8 out of 10
End scene of Brave Little Toaster--Song: "Worthless" Takes a little to get started, but be patient, it's a damn fine song and it's the best scene in the entire movie

Okay. Where the FUCK are all my scraps/deviations. They still exist SOMEWHERE, as I can go into deviation management and see them, but they're not in my gallery. Good god I'm sick of dA's stupid fucking problems. >.<

And now back to the regularly scheduled journal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[link]

Yet another reason I ain't ever fuckin' having kids.

The picture isn't what disgusts me, it's some of the comments. All these people saying motherhood is so beautiful, that they can't wait to have kids of their own. Not that there's anything wrong with motherhood, it just DISGUSTS me....for many reasons. Well not motherhood, I think it's a fascinating concept but ugh it just grosses me out. I just can't understand why all these girls out there are so excited about having some thing growing in their belly and making it look like a big playground ball and then spewing it out their crotch. A...thing....just grew inside of you...and now...it's drinking something that came out of your boobs. You can't tell me that's not disgusting.

It amazes me, there's a comment someone made that said "ew that's disturbing" and someone's like "you obviously aren't a mother....you realize that you may hurt people's feelings with what you say" and I'm thinking...you know, I realize that it's one of those "special" things in life that you don't know what it's like until you try--but please--for future reference--if someday I become pregnant by some freak (and I MEAN freak) chance--PLEASE someone punch me in the stomach.

Okay that sounds mean but lord. I just think about the concept and every comment on this deviation makes me want to puke. x.x

Look, if you want kids, have them, I'm sorry for ranting, I'm just nauseated and needed to rant ^_^ because that's just what I do.

--------------------------------------------------------

Anywho.

I think this journal should be about something more than my bitching about a natural part of life.

so...without further ado--UPDATIO RANDOMUS:

("Updation" and any variants of it are copyright (c) ~Roeder)

Gonna try to work on typing up random things about my storyline. Hehe. Like that will happen. Well I can pretend, right?
At least I think I can make the first book. Well now that I think of everything that has to be in it, my confidence level has fallen. meh.

yeah there could be more here but my mood has fallen significantly. meh.

Even though technically certain people's actions cannot hurt me anymore by their reading my journals, I'm still in the "must-censor-everything" mode.

Guess I'm just talking because uh I don't really know.

I kinda wish school would start again. Only a few more weeks I guess.

-_- yeah I guess I won't be updating. meh.

Can't get better unless I practice.
Can't practice unless I draw.
Can't draw unless I have some inspiration.
Can't have inspiration if I don't have motivation.
But I have motivation...why don't I have inspiration? There's something deeper than that.

No, I can't have productivity. I can't have productivity if I don't have patience, and to have patience means I need something to work with in the first place. I could start anywhere, I suppose. Let's see...why not poses? Poses are something I'm not very good at, perhaps I should work on those. Well I can't really work on those unless I have some sort of idea what the hell I am doing.

Well. That was my train of thought recently, and actually, its been this way for some time. Quite frustrating, I might add.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boy do I have a farmer's tan. Well it's actually not that noticeable. That is, unless I put my hand up next to, say, my thigh, and then I realize how little sun I've been getting until lately, when I was mulching at work. Why are tans something seen as desireable among this population, yet people look down at those naturally born with tan skin, such as indians, hispanics, etc. Kind of an interesting thing, isn't it?

Although it's about time my skin was like this again. I naturally have olive skin, it's just that I don't get out much. So much so that even my birthmarks start to fade after a while. I used to have a really cool one shaped like a hula dancer on my leg, but it's gone now. It's not like I'm trying to get a tan though. I really could care less. All I know is I find it funny that when I was born with such dark skin that people questioned if I was my parents' child. I blame the fraction of Native American blood in me.

That's pretty much the only heritage I can be sure I have...otherwise I have no idea where my family comes from. Well I know on my mom's side there's a lot of French. Funny because I don't much care for the French language, yet everyone on my mom's side loves it. That must mean yet again I'm more like my dad's side, leading me to want to know what sort of bloodline they have. Oh well. I suppose I'll find out someday. Maybe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whilst stumbling through these thoughts I remembered a rant an artist on here once went on, where she mentioned that people do not realize how much artists have to work to get to the level they are at. I agreed, but then when she mentioned that she draws every single day, often spending weeks only on one area of focus, such as fabric folds or the balance of particular color schemes, I was impressed with the amount of dedication she showed to her talent. It certainly shows in her work, and I thought to myself, "Lord how I wish I had that sort of patience."

Well, I've had multiple people, including my art teacher here in college, (whom I absolutely love, by the way,) tell me that a good way to get out of my drawing slump, and actually, get better with art at the same time, is to do that--just take little areas and practice practice practice...every day...no matter what.

Now, I've not had the patience--or so I thought--for this sort of excersize.

Until now...

I thought about it, and I realized. I know I want to wait to do my comic until I know what I'm doing and can do it well. But sitting here doing nothing every day isn't making me any better. I have friends who draw every day and don't give a damn if their art looks simple and uninteresting, because they are making art, whereas I make, what, one picture every five months or so? Exactly. At least they are practicing, no matter how sucky their work is. (Trust me though, their work is FAR FROM sucky, I was using the term in a relative sense.)

People say, study from artists you like. And n00bs often look at drawing books and trace right over the pictures.

And after a few more moments of thought which need not be uselessly expressed in these hallowed halls that make up the palace of this journal, (or rather, rustic shack in the woods,) and a few hundred utterances of "FAIL", I've decided that the only way to combat this drawing slump, and maintain practice and skills to a tolerable level, is to take my drawing books, which I basically only buy because I like the pretty pictures inside (and they inspire me and also sometimes give me useful info,) and--wait a moment, this is an awfully long run-on sentence. There. Now I will continue. I'm going to basically draw my characters in the poses shown in the books, one by one, working through each page, until I get through every book. Sounds like a brilliant... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/13610324/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/13610324/ Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:08:21 PDT Oh and "updation" is copyright (c) ~Roeder so nyaahhhh
But I am allowed to use it.
So nyaaaaah again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life Updation:

My neck hurts. x.x
Uh and I think that's about it.

Storyline/comic Updation:

I've yet again decided to switch things up a bit (as I am a very fickle comic artist) and I thought to myself..."You know, I really do need a human to come to Esehtri because why else would it matter if earth is Armageddon?" So I thought about it, and I wondered if I shouldn't just have my original story idea with julie and chase faking their deaths and stuff like that.

But....the more I thought about it, I still had the same problem I had originally--that being, if I have them fake their deaths, the impact that it will have on the end of the story will not be as meaningful.

So I need to have them die at the end of book--it's what's gotta happen. It'll be painful for me as an author to do such a thing, because I love these characters, but hehe, it'll be painful for the audience as well (I'm hoping.)

Now. That of course begs the question--what to do about my first problem?

Well, while talking with my good buddy and I was telling him about my dilemmas and stuff and we came up with a plot twist hehe that serves also an important function of making the characters look good. ^_^

Well, you'll see.

But through that development I've created a space for a new character. He/she has not a name yet, but it just so happens that he/she will be the one linking the first book to the rest of the comic. ^_^

Geeeeeeniusssssss

Yeah you know it.

Anyways.
One of these days I'm going to start drawing this stupid thing, but for now I think a script/screenplay kinda deal will be necessary to make first.

And one of these days I seriously need to talk to my old psych teacher to get ideas/input. Seriously. Writing a comic is hard.

AMF!

I have that stuck in my head like you wouldn't believe.

You know, when I was at Tripp hall today cleaning, I saw the single rooms and the slightly larger refrigerators and thought, wowe, I should live here! I mean, yeah it's way the hell on the other side of campus, but it's pretty here. And then I realized that every room is infected with those crazy ass jumping spiders. I took a look at one and was like "ooh hey there little fella, I won't hurt you, you're neat." So as I'm wiping off the ledge of the windowsill this teensy tiny little bitch ass of a feisty spider starts attacking my washcloth. Those things are aggressive! Even against something a hundred times bigger than they are....feisty little buggers....

(damn, not another quiz journal...)

haha sucks for you! I was about due for one anyway

And apparently I scored a 35 on the sexy-ometer. The quiz told me I'm "rather sexy." I doubt the accuracy of this test because one of the ways it gauged my sexiness was the month I was born in. And what do I say to that? I say, PSH! Cause I love to say PSH.

And guess what I did today? I FRIED AN EGG. ON THE STOVE. IN A FRYING PAN. You have no idea how many mad skill points I just acquired. Yep. A TON. Haha. Well the yolk broke, but STILL.

MAD SKILLZ!

QUIZAMUTHAFUGGA! (taken from minions on myspace):

1. First thing you wash in the shower?
My...self? Who wants to know, anyway!?

2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
I only have one hoodie, and it's red. *shrugs*

3. Do you like coffee?
blech no.

5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
Pretty damned good, actually.

7. Do you say aim or a-i-m?
WHO THE FUCK SAYS A-I-M? Please point them out for me so I can punch them square in the face. "aim" as one word is CLEARLY easier to say.

8. Tell me about the last dream you remember having.
First of all, who is "me"? Secondly..let's see..I can barely remember last night's dream but I know the night before it involved things which are gonna happen this week Except they were in a really odd setting, and now that I think about it I can't remember most of the details.

9. Could you eat your favorite food everyday for a month and not get tired of it?
I dunno, I'd have to try

10. What are you craving?
hmmm....Well since I just ate, nothing much, although chocolate would be FABULOUS anytime.

11. Do you floss?
Do I have money to buy extra commodities such as floss? No. Besides, I don't believe in such heathenous technology! (haha, actually I do, I just wanted to say that XD)

12. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
KILLING ZOMBIES!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAA!!!!! (Joe knows what I'm talking about, haha)

13. What do cicadas taste like?
I don't really know. Probably not too bad, I'd imagine. The scorpion I had wasn't so bad, so I'd have to imagine since they're both brownish with lotsa legs and an exo-skeleton, and they don't live in the sea, they probably taste relatively similar?

15. Would you dance with me to the taco sonG?
First of all, that is an unnecessarily capitalized "g". Secondly, I've never heard of the taco song, nor do I think I want to. Plus I still don't know who you are.

16. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
I believe I tried to once in elementary school

17. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
I can't bite it, I have sensitive teeths. x.x

18. Do you use smileys?
Hell yes!

19. How many bedrooms are in your house?
1 because it's currently an apartment. But at my house in LG there are probably...yeah, 3.

20. Have you ever met a celebrity?
I wanted to meet Kapt'n K, so seeing him onstage was as close as I got....other than that...I don't believe I have. I know I met Jackie Chan once in a dream. And Arnold Schwarzenegger. My dad's met a ton of famous people though, cause of his job. Not that that's relevant or anything, haha.

21. Do you like cottage cheese?
Eewwwwwww no, that stuff looks/tastes gross.

22. What’s the last song you had stuck in your head?
"It's All About Soul"--Billy Joel (because it's playing in the background.)

23. How many countries have you visited?
Well I live in the US and I've been to Canada, so that's one or two depending on how you look at it.

24. Are your parents strict?
Define strict. I'm pretty much a good kid so it's not like they have to be strict or a... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/13153378/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/13153378/ Wed, 30 May 2007 16:05:36 PDT

HOORAY FOR YAHOO DSL!

woot woot to the extreem.

Yes. I am fully aware of how I spelled "extreme."

Oh! Oh! Look at this!

Corey aka :iconIForgotHisUsername: taught me how to do that.

Oh yeah and my dsl came with a phone mount thinger so guess what I did? I awkwardly mounted my phone on the wall. Oh yeah. It pretty much looks like a hovering squid monster but holy shit is it convenient. I mean, how much more convenient than two feet off the ground can you get?

INTERNET!

Oh. In other news, I successfully boiled eggs last night. And I put evil spirits into them using the Necronomicon Cookbook. And thus, they became deviled eggs.

heehee. I make myself laugh.

Oh yeah and technically I'm NOT supposed to have interweb till tomorrow, but I guess that ol' activation date really doesn't matter cause uh...I seem to have interweb right now... *shrugs*

"Screw the rules, I have money!"

*thinks*

ummmmmmmm


Oh yeah and everyone is invited to my apartment. I put photos on my wall of my bedroom in a neat mosaic pattern. You should come over so you can see the awesomeness of it.

ummm

stuff?

Yeah. Sure, why not.

I forgot all the other cool shit I was gonna say.

OH! I KNOW!

I coulda kicked ass on yesterday's episode of jeopardy. I was watching it after work. They had a Dr. Seuss theme. I supa-<3 Dr. Seuss.

The dumbasses didn't know who Bartholomew Cubbins was! Even I guessed it correctly and I didn't even read that book.

Dr. Seuss kicks the shit.

Some dude in a chicken suit walked in there.

There's a wedding reception--OKAY. That fucker went too far.

Even in my dream I was cussing someone out for mocking the so-called wisconsin accent. Dammit, I don't fucking talk like that. Don't try to mock my "accent." I don't sound like an imbecile. So don't make me out to be one just because I live in a certain state. Jeezus effing christ.

Yeah the DJ in that wedding reception is talking and is asking people where they're from and shit. And he made a phony wisconsin accent. And it irked me. nyeah.

DAH-ler.

It's DOLL-ar. Dumbfucks. Say it right.

Then again, who am I to judge? The entire english language is retarded. Colonel. Tell me why that's pronounced "kern-al".

*looks around in contempt*

"Bubbler. What the fuck is a bubbler?"

"Water fountain. What the FUCK is a water fountain?"

Look. Why do people get SO incensed over this? To EACH HIS FUCKING OWN. If a man wants to call it a bubbler, let him call it a bubbler. I personally don't call it a bubbler because bubbler is the wrong color and I just don't associate orange-pink with such a machine. But I'm not about to call it a water fountain. Why? BECAUSE A WATER FOUNTAIN IS A FOUNTAIN THEY HAVE IN PARKS THAT YOU THROW COINS IN. Dumbasses. What you MEAN to say is DRINKING fountain. Jeezus christ. You want to drink out of a water fountain? Go ahead. I'm sure the fishes won't mind too much.

*rolls eyes*

Yeah that's the only thing I get incensed about. If you're going to piss and moan about someone calling it a bubbler, don't you go ahead and sound equally as lame by calling it a water fountain.


NOTE:

The preceding message was not meant to be towards anyone in particular. I'm ranting, dammit, and it's helping me occupy my time. I apologize if I have offended any of my friends who say one or the other thing. Frankly I don't give a damn what you call it, I just enjoy pissing a bitch and making fun of people every now and then. Too-dah.

Drawing isn't helping either. I drew. I tried. It fucked me over hardcore style in the ass.

Why all the vulgarity, heather? Why?

Why?

Wedding. Interesting ordeal. all the people cheering and shouting cause they threw something at someone else and someone caught it. And some dude is talking on a microphone. And someone walks by, takes a look at me, and doesn't stop as he walks into the hall with two bottles of lemonade in his hands. I forget what brand it is. Snapple. That's right. Forgot for a moment.

Yeah....I'm bored...and I don't remember my myspace password..I know I have it auto-saved on my lappy but I'm at work so yeah.

You know what I wish? I wish my bathtub at home wasn't so retarded that when the water level gets a certain height it starts draining in some weird random hole. Cause how else am I supposed to relax and shit if I can't be submerged completely in water?

And I want bubbles, man. I'll have to get some from home.

>.>

<.<

You know what fucking sucks? The fact that dA used to be my number one area to complain in...and now I can't. Why? Well most of us know the reason for that. And since people rarely change I doubt this problem will ever be alleviated.

Well...I can't say it won't EVER be alleviated but.

Yeah I'm crossing lines here, now, aren't I?

>.<

Today at work we are putting sheets and pillows on beds. I want to know why no one told me that even single rooms have to have two pillows...now I have to go back and fix that....grrrr

Yeah so my motivation to draw my comic was short-lived. The inspiration and the tactics I have planned are still there, it's just that I tried drawing last night, I got a little bit somewhere drawing a cover type picture, and after a few pencil strokes my motivation to draw just...died.

And even ink--the one tool that I can draw with no matter what mood I am in--did nothing to help. I couldn't even draw with ink. Do you know how sad that is? Pretty damned sad.

Oh and I've come to the conclusion that I am an emo. Lol.
Yeah I know, right? No swoop, no shitty music, no crying all the time, but damn, everything else fits.

I kinda wish I had the internet still. *shrugs* Oh well. At least it's only for a few months.

I couldn't even draw with ink...that bothers me....

I'm losing my artistic motivation...no not motivation, I am plenty motivated, or I should be, but I just can't.....get anywhere...


Four minutes of break time left. woo. These breaks are a godsend. Seriously.


You know, maybe I'm feeling more crummy lately because I'm eating not-so-good food and I'm eating snacks again. Hey, don't yell at me yet, I'm at least eating things such as fruit and the like. Well at home I am. Vending machines at work don't really sell fruit.

Then again, maybe I am eating more because I am feeling worse? Who the hell knows. I don't and I'm sure I don't care either. Or someone doesn't.

*mumbles angrily something at the back of her mind* shut up, mind, stop being stupid.

*mumble mumble*

yeah I think I'm done now.

I just want to go home and sleep. good thing I have tomorrow off, and then the weekend and then memorial day on monday...

>.< and then it's back to the ol' grind.


break is officially over. lame.

Well...I'm on break

woo! 7 minutes left!!

Wow so summer break, right? Hahaha.

The song "takin' care of business comes to mind...and how come the text is being so slow on this comp that I can't even see it?!?!?!

oh, cause some stupid "narrator" thing was on. Whatever.

Yeah so I'm working. Full time. Anddddd it sucks. I'll be going around from res hall to res hall cleaning them and whatnot. Annnndd it sucks. But I'm making 9 bucks an hour and I have a cool ass apartment. So...yeah.

THREE MINUTES LEFT!!

Finally decided to start my comic. I have a method now, trust me. I've gotten over my fear of screwing it up. You'll see. I'll explain when I have more time.

Oh and I don't have internet, so if you all don't see me around online too often that's why. I'm at the compy at work.

Wi-fi...yeah well....it's annoying to have to walk all the way down to the Memorial Union for that so....yeah.

And my computer suckxors when it comes to weak wifi anyways.

ummmm....

Yeah I can't say much more. Gotta go back to work. Might edit this some other day.

Word up to all my homies, wherever they may be.

Oh and

The word "Updation" (even in my stylized version) is copyright (c)

Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
It looked at the cow and said "moo"


I no longer have to pee.

Hey guess what? Know what's cool? Andy Warhol's answer to the question asking why he copies basic objects and doesn't create anything of his own:

"Because it's easier that way."

It's so damned honest. I love it. He's not going for symbolism or anything. It's art for the sake of art. Or is it? It's raw. And I love it.

Looking at artwork because I have to do a paper about the art movement known as DADA. Dada, yes. daDA. DadAA

You know what's great? I've discovered that Dadaists spoke my language. YThey really did.

Seriously. Check out the advertisement posters they had for their shows. They typed them up with like random words and things. Just like I do when I type whatever comes to my head. They were just like me! Just like me , man! They're just like the crazy experimental poems I wrote--whatever came to my mind. GO read my poems and you'll know what I mean.

Or look at Dada posters.

I'd give you an example but I don't feel like typing things out of a book
The book is which I am reading of the report which must be written and excuse

bleem

see? they even made random noises in their writings. They weren't just artists but writers as well.
I make noises too.


Dad.a It's amazing.

aren't they much like word salad of schizophrenics? or

Because it's like me.

My fish sometimes yawns. Fish yawn. I bet you didn't know that.

I don't know why he yawns.

This dude is neat: I dont know a thing about him but I'm going to quote the wikipedia article I stumbled across that tells of his crazy antics:

I was looking for dada artists:

I don't know who he is [link]

Open the read me file:

"He was also legendary for his provocative public pranks. One infamous example involved Humphries dressing as a Frenchman, with an accomplice dressed as a blind person; the accomplice would board a tram, followed soon after by Humphries. At the appropriate juncture Humphries would force his way past the "blind" man, yelling "Get out of my way, you disgusting blind person", kicking him viciously in the shins and then jumping off the tram and making his escape in a waiting car.

An even more extreme example was his notorious "sick bag" prank. This involved carrying a tin of condensed soup onto an aircraft, which he would then surreptitiously empty into an air-sickness bag. At the appropriate point in the flight, he would pretend to vomit loudly and violently into the bag. Then, to the horror of passengers and crew, he would proceed to eat the contents. One April Fool's Day Humphries placed a roast dinner and glass of champagne in an inner-city bin. Later in the morning, when there were many businesspeople queuing at a nearby building, Humphries approached the group as a dirty, dishevelled man. He walked to the bin, opened the lid and proceeded to lift the roast and drink from it. Much to the amazement of watchers-by, he found a suitable seating area and began to eat it.

Such stunts were the early manifestations of a lifelong interest in the bizarre, discomforting and subversive."


XD that dude rocks

I love innocent and harmless silliness.

Especially that which confuses people.

Me and my friends come up with ideas that we will try such as waiting in line at a burger hut meal land mcdonald's and asking for godlike powers and a large fry.

Someday, someday.

I love being an artist. It gives me an excuse to be twisted, sick, funny, silly, absurd, disgusting, disturbing, violent, macabre, perverted, subversive, words which do not apply or mean anything in this context such as odious, purple and mackeral-like, strange, humorous, mocking, satirical, witty, meaningless, expressive, bland, and wonderful.

Please buy a dictionary if you wish to know more adjectives which may apply.

I spoke aloud to myself today while lying in bed waiting for a nap--everything which is good has bad, everything that is priceless comes at a price. Artists have the most amazing ability to connect with/disconnect/remake/create their surroundings and even things that do not surround them, they can be anything they want, but the downside is people who aren't artists don't really understand and cannot fully appreciate them and their art. That's why artists don't get jobs and end up living i... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/12558375/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/12558375/ Wed, 11 Apr 2007 19:04:31 PDT But for now, I'm gonna do just one....because that's all I really should do because I'm being a lazy bastard and not studying.

Stolen from

EVERYTHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT CHASE WINDEN!!!
(and even some things I didn't know. )

(why I didn't do Seth is because I was too lazy and some of these questions are pretty in depth, but one day I'll do Seth, of COURSE I will.)

1. What is your character's name?
Chase Alexander Winden

2. What is your character's name in another language?
Probably still Chase Alexander Winden.

3. How old is he/she?
He's 17

4. What is your character's race/species?
Human

5. Does he have a crush?
He's not sure whether its a crush or just deep friendship

6. Do they have many friends?
He has a decent amount of friends--close friends, a few.

7. What planet is your character from?
Earth

8. Does your character like to eat?
Pretty much

9. What's his/her favorite food?
Hmm...he says grilled cheese or spaghetti.

10. What's his/her favorite drink?
Hmm....he likes 7-up and coca cola...no! Wait, wait. He says "definately strawberry milkshakes."

11. Is your character annoying?
Definately not.

13. Is your character loved?
By his family, friends, and his best friend, Julie.

14. Is your character hated?
Not really, although some people might think he's weird or an ass. He is an ass at times when people get on his nerves....But by the time his and Julie's "plans" have been carried out, he'll gain the hatred of many, many people.

15. Is she/he emo/goth?
Emo--no way. Goth--I suppose someone might think that, because of his wearing a trench coat--however, he doesn't identify as goth, so no.

16. Is she/he straight, bisexual, or gay?
Straight

17. Is she/he a virgin?
Yep

18. Name 3 hobbies:
1. Building models/rockets/other...things....
2. Listening to music
3. Playing video games

19. Is your character normal?
Hehe. For the most part, yes, even though some people think he's a little weird or different. Although after he dies he is determined by some to be "insane," "psychopathic," and other mentally-degrading classifications, and also "evil" and a murderer, and that he couldn't possibly have been a normal kid.

20. Is your character attractive?
I think so I mean, he has blue hair, I suppose that might be not so classically "handsome" but then again, of COURSE I'm going to find my character attractive. ^_^ Believe me though, in the early stages of drawing he was TOTALLY NOT attractive. Also currently I'm in the process of determining his weight type, so I dunno bout that. (althought weight really hasn't much to do with attractiveness, but SOME people might think so.) So I dunno. Would my other characters label him attractive? Probably the hundreds of creepy fan-girls he'll gain after his act of destruction, but I dunno. People haven't really dated him, so I can't say if that has anything to do with looks or not. He's not like...OMG HAWT or anything. *shrugs* He's Chase.

21. How does your character handle emotions?
Hoo. Well, for the most part he keeps them inside. He appears to be a happy, well-adjusted kid on the outside--polite, courteous, etc. He doesn't trust easily, and only confides in those he ABSOLUTELY can trust, such as Julie. His anger can be quite explosive if he is brought to a point which he cannot hold it back any longer, and he can get violent and reckless. He is definitely depressed, however, as stated before, he keeps it disguised (such as the fact his grades are still fabulous and such) and therefore everyone, including his parents, thinks he's just fine. Suicidal? Oh you betcha. But he wouldn't tell anyone that... ]]> ~randomflyingpigeons http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/12448944/ http://randomflyingpigeons.deviantart.com/journal/12448944/ Tue, 03 Apr 2007 19:39:30 PDT

And really this should be called like.....trans-phobia and homo-phobia, or maybe LGBT-phobia, but, meh. Whatever.


---------------------------------

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. (yes, this actually happened)

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"

I am the teen who lost all his friends because I told them about me
