Much has happened.

I am now an engaged-person to a ravishing beauty named Natasha :)

I shall be in Dallas, TX with her family for Christmas, and in New Orleans with YWAM for a few months next year.

I have things I could put on here, and a few pieces to finish...when I get around to doing all that...life is crazy!

Kim and I intend to be productive on the writing front over the summer, and I want to work on my stash of material and ideas (read: recorded randomness) to draw on.
We planted veggies tonight, after I used a mower and edger for the first time!

Did I mention I love having cable? Apart from this episode of SG1 I'm watching, there's a program about modern carriers, an episode of Becker, the NBA, a documentary on gangs on History, Star Wars ep2, as well as a few other things, plus the 'on demand' stuff, which does have a free section. So there is plenty to distract, but also that's worth my watching, the latter including basketball and docos, and, at the moment, Stargate :)

I guess tomorrow I should finally get around to mopping out the kitchen, and persuade Kim to help put the clothes away, both of which we'd planned to get done shortly after we moved in, but it's been three weeks now and...well things happen. We've also to set the office/study up properly and finish setting up the kitchen. Our cutlery is currently in an unused jug and dishes stacked around the place.

So, I think I shall go to bed now, or soon.

And I am SO watching House tomorrow night. And I think they have the Law & Order episode with Robin Williams making a cameo. Kim has a final. Hehe.

]]> ~toonarmycaptain Um, yes, AMERICA! http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/17968832/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/17968832/ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:34:17 PDT I've got a lot of fear
Yea, I know
But have I enough pride inside not to let that show?


I've to pick a page or two of poetry to read out on Thursday at Kim's class' poetry reading, at the request of the lecturer.
I'm totally not in my comfort zone here!

So. I either need to grow a second pair and polish something I've already written to a standard where I can read it out loud in public, or write something completely new.

I do have a hankering to read the following, with the radical revisions it probably needs, because I've very much enjoyed this class and being invited back to it, it's been a pleasure, and the tutor/lecturer Mary Leeder (I think that's spelt right) is awesome.


Mary, Leader

Pass out the hat
Pick up a collection
For here is a tutor
Of great recollection

her resonance
Preceeding recitation
Combating convention
With utter distinction

Come one, come all
Don't miss this class
For this is the lesson
(To vent your frustration -? To bring freedom from repression -?)

Naturals, foreigners (aliens?)
All welcome(d) (tolerated)
And nutcases, with glee
Come on, y'all

Thank Mary
With me


I don't know if that's grandstanding a bit much, but she basically gave me the first couple of lines and my mind went from there..

So, um, yes, public reading
AHHHHHHHHHHHH

The upshot is that although I haven't been here, I've not been writing much either, so that's okay!

...enter the US on the 26th of March!!!

So any of you who'd like to meet me, or even host me for a day or three...get in touch!

I expect to be there until the end of June.
I'll be in Indiana a lot of the time, as well as at least Michigan, Illinois and NY, but hope to embark on a lengthy roadtrip :)

Secondly, I have news. I am coming to the states next year. Probably for awhile.

Thirdly, when, and possibly a further annoncement, shall follow.

I am excited. And working my ass off.

I have accomodation in Sydney but am unsure if I can take that up straight after I'm in Melbourne, so I may be looking for a place to crash for a couple of nights :)

Also, I got a digital camera!



Oh, and by the way, I do have some writing from the last few weeks to upload. Not an awful lot, but I do plan to upload it, when I have some time!

Things are up and down but they are going, and creativity is there, even if the productivity isn't.

I've never pimped anyone before, but I'm gonna be sleazy and do so, because I can ;)
My friends Emilys [link] and [link] are both amazing and inspiring.
You should totally check them out and encourage them and commission them or simply send them money, art supplies, underwear or odd socks. Neither of them are really designed to work real jobs, and they shouldn't have to! They make much better artists and friends. I love them both very mucherly.

[btw, I don't know and haven't the energy/application atm to find out, how to put the icon/and linky thingie, I think there's some special dA code, other than simply direct-linking their icon as a link to their page. If ya wanna comment it here...:)]

In other news. Actually, big news it is, indeed!
I have decided to begin a comic. I've got some ideas, and am in planning stages etc. Have to learn how to draw too...help? lol
And also decide what style I want to draw it in, which is something that didn't really occur to me to begin with...noob David... But yes. Don't expect miracles tomorrow, but hopefully I'll be scanning and putting some actual artwork (visual art, anyways) from uni related work, random drawing/stuff and preliminary work for this comic I'd like to do...soon. Possibly with respect to all except the latter, it will happen when someone applies a boot to my proverbial gluteus maximus, but that's okay.


I think that's all I have to say. It's got to the point where I'm sitting here dying to write/draw and do arty stuff, but am attempting to force myself to work on an essay I have to do before it's due.
That should seem obvious...that one has to do the work before it's due...but this is me and there you go. :-p

]]> ~toonarmycaptain Cross posted and in it's third repetition. Wi http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/14424460/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/14424460/ Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:18:15 PDT
Here's something, the idea for which came to me in a concert. I couldn't get out of the mosh pit quite in time for the ideas to come out right. Might work on it another time.

A couple of other ideas came out of said concert. I shall work on them soon.

I love to bring thoughts to life
Let characters do their thing
I love to give songs breath
To tell of what could happen

I hear them shout
They cry out loud
Live, and love
Bear, and die


Bring them
Give them life
Have them blossom
Let them grow
Let them grow
Let them grow



Thought I'd cross-post this for the benefit of someone whose writing has inspired me somewhat.

I've never really...worked...on ideas before, never striven to improve over much, individual pieces anyway. Maybe I should. In fact, I definitely should, although I need a few people to give me good feedback, the sort of feedback I've become so, so...at a loss for words, when I go to give it to other people. I usually, personally, just let things come out, work on them while I'm writing them, and then abandon them, often, or rather, usually, posting with my editing marks still there, with alternative words, phrases and lines still there. I always planned to work at things more conscientiously, and maybe this spurt of motivation to writing and performing, with the promise of my actually writing and illustrating a comic, with planned characters, with backstories and thought out plots, maybe I should refocus slightly and try and take on some writing improvement, along with everything else.
In other unrelated news, I think I might take on the task of exercising more often, maybe even doing some training and working out. I'm getting old, weak, unfit and inflexible. And THAT IS depressing!

On that subject, another close(st) friend has ditched me. I'm not happy about it but I'd had an inkling for awhile and have accepted it somewhat. She's in all my classes, so we'll see how things pan out. It's possible they mightn't be as bad as I feared, whether that means they're better, or worse, only time will tell.


I would, truth be told, I could really use as motivation, some encouragement, help in the form of pointers, especially with artwork/motivation, and helpful critique. With comic stuff anyway. I'm trying to learn to draw at the same time, which isn't the end of the world, since I have some ability when I put my mind to it, especially when I think about it first rather than just doodling, but I've...well I've never done very much drawing. This is a very big thing to embark on for me, the sort of thing I should have had the guts to try a long time ago, such as writing fiction and hence the evil diiiaaallloooggguuueee. Which I finally did earlier in the year, to reasonable response and effect, given the little effort that actually went into it. I haven't, truth be told, done any more since then, but then I haven't really had any ideas I've felt the inclination to put into prose, and I think if I got going with an idea, I would write something, even if I never showed anyone. Maybe my comic ideas will sprout some.
All these good intentions are one thing, action is another. I don't intend to let all this interrupt uni -in fact I think/hope it shall motivate me, and as a byproduct I shall be motivated to get uni work done also, even as procrastination from creative work! :-) At least it'll be getting done, I don't plan to let other things like writing take over to the point where I fail uni, as I fear others might be allowing to happen. But I certainly hope I do start producing work, practise my drawing, and even if it's bad visually, start churning out some comic action, or even just character work. I already have some ideas for opening pages, so we shall see what I can get done...


This is about the longest blog I've done on here. And a lot of it I don't feel inclined to post fully on LiveJournal, my home turf, so to speak. I think I shall anyway. It's good to get things out in the open.

I welcome any encouragement or advice I can get, right now. The person I would look to for it recently gave me the thumb. So...yay! New people are always good. This is a new world, a new life for David, somewhat. :)

Actually I might consider scanning a lot of the stuff I do, especially in class and things where I'm experiementing or meant to be concentrating on a certain aspect such as line or tone, and say what I was 'meant' to be doing, and then I could get more detailed/regular response and guidance than the often (I suspect) rather limited time my studio tutors/lecturers will be able to give my work/me. :)

Don't know what to say I guess, or I've too much to say and even if I could putces it into words, it's not all what I want everyone on here reading.

I'm not even feeling particularly creative tonight, but stuff's been spilling out of my mind.

I didn't think these below were really good enough or even whole/complete as pieces appropriate for posting as deviations or scraps, so they are here.

Don't be like sheep

Don't be cheap,
You can't make me complete.
You can,
Help me stay on my feet.

I've been writing, and I've been writing stuff I'm fairly pleased with, but I've almost completely neglected the work I started lyrically before I left Perth. I just haven't been able to sit down and focus on it.

I shall try harder. I do like the varied material I've been producing these past couple of weeks. It's a good feeling after you've done something good, to then do something as good, or better -I sit down and start writing and sometimes think "how did I ever come up with stuff like that?" (even if I don't like a lot of it much lol), and "have I still got 'it'?"

Inspiration is wonderful, but I want to work on the purposeful/deliberate side of writing -literary 'craft', if you will.

I was thinking earlier about the way I often produce work along the lines (at least rythmically etc) of other songs. I would hope, and assume nevertheless, that when one worked on those pieces later, taking them from rough ideas/starting drafts to finished pieces with music etc, that they would morph into something else. I would hope they aquired their own sound, despite the influences on the creation of the piece being obvious, but not a mere cover of a song with different lyrics and the same music. Because I'm never copying a song's beat and rhythm exactly, I'd think a direct copy couldn't happen.

Those are my thoughts of this moment.

I just thought I should warn that although I post work as "Complete Deviations" -it is rarely, if ever, polished or edited work that I am posting. I rarely edit or workshop work after I've written it. I don't like doing it, I awlays feel I ruin things when I do that. Hence some works posted as deviations are more polished than others, because they came out better when written. Some will have brackets or slashes, indicating 'options' for words or phrases, that I could not choose between, they are rarely deliberately there -they would not appear if a work of mine were published, they would be removed and the 'better' option chosen.

For example, the poem "In A Moment" which I am about to post, is one of my less polished postings. I don't know how tio improve it, and there are many elemnts I don't think are quite right. It ought to be in "Scraps" -but it is a complete poem, as opposed to a scrap, a few lines etc, and it is something I would show someone, rather than a random jotting that's fairly minimal or fragmentary -it's a poem that I've finished, pending improvement/editing rather than completion. I do appreciate commentary, specifically pointed at aiding refinement of my work. Of course, I appreciate all comments, but editorial advice is much appreciated :)

Just to clarify. *nod* ]]> ~toonarmycaptain Aw, stuff http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/6665934/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/6665934/ Mon, 03 Oct 2005 05:52:45 PDT just felt like telling the world :D ]]> ~toonarmycaptain Poetry http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5654958/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5654958/ Wed, 15 Jun 2005 10:32:38 PDT I want anyone who reads this to go here and fill this out, please. ]]> ~toonarmycaptain Solution to time-problems http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5211477/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5211477/ Thu, 28 Apr 2005 09:49:56 PDT I know how I'm going to get more stuff done with more rest and sleep and stuff...

Well, God is going to simply make the day longer, you know, Moses-and-the-Amoroites style...
(You know, Moses stopping the sun in the sky to give Moses and the Israelites more time to defeat the Amorites...(hmmm...Israel and England seem to have had God on their side, weather-wise...lol ok random))

So, it's simple, more hours in the day= more time to do stuff/sleep.
Excellant. Now, about 12 more hours a day should do it... ]]> ~toonarmycaptain hmmm... http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5172985/ http://toonarmycaptain.deviantart.com/journal/5172985/ Sun, 24 Apr 2005 03:03:40 PDT
