Okay so I’m back, in more ways then one. It’s been a roller coaster of a 2 or so months, and I have to say that everything that happened last year is staying in last year. With my first post of the new year, I just want to say that we have 18 more days until this country has the new start we’re hoping for. This new year is a year to buckle down, not just for me, but for America…the world as a whole. We need to push for a lot of new things in our own lives, but as a community. Nothing can be accomplished alone, and that is the truth.

As for me…Life is a bitch, but she loves you and it’s always best to remember that. Why such a off the wall analogy, because it fits. Life can best be equated to a woman, she beautiful no matter what, aways loyal to something, always surprising you, loves to fuck you even when you don’t realise she’s going at it hard, because you’re enjoying so much, and she always, always keeps you moving forward. She’s full of contradiction and if you nurture her, she’ll make sure your days are happy and care free all because she loves you until the very end. What does all of this have to do with me. Simple I love life and I want to live as much of it as possible, and live it with clean hands and no guilt, and until recently I haven’t been doing a good job of nurturing my relationship with my life. Now I am and I’m getting out and living, having a car helps a lot.

Anyways, enough bable enjoy the comics and be sure to visit Tea Beer. DO IT. DO IT NAAOOUUGGGHHH!!!

American Democracy depends on it.  It doesn’t matter your affiliation, just go do it.  It’ll make you feel like a (insert gender here).  Sorry I’ll post a post-Halloween Halloween picture later.  I’ve been letting myself DIE for the past week, and a lot of things got out, and now it’s better.

On another note.  I’M BACK BITCHES, AND IT’S ON LIKE WHITE ON RICE, MUTHA FUCKAZ!!!!  Still no new pages until ‘09 tho.  Just pin-ups.  See ya.

GO VOTE!!!

OMG!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS PHONE TO COME OUT!!!  It’s gonna be sooooooooooo awesome!!!!!  ^_^  When I first heard about it, I admit I was a bit skeptical….but OMG I am totally sold on this one.  Fuck you I-Phone!!!  I’m gonna play with it as soon as I get it, and man I can’t wait to get it!!

I’m really stoked about this game.  The more I see of it, the more I absolutely have to have it.  It’s going to be so awesome making my own game in my own image, and seeing everyone elses games and their images.  I’m totally excited about the prospect of determining who this and that will work, and expirement.  I hope to play this game for a very very very long time.  I already have some level design ideas that I can’t wait impliment.  I’m sooo geeked about it.

…the newest comic from Tea Beer is up and out the door.  Go and support that right now!!

Currently watching the political scene, and Sarah Palin fall on her face.  I’m not the only person these days that thinks she’s a blatant scar on the face of politics.  So many other women in politics are furious that she’s running right now on the ticket.   Alas even the village idiot has a right to run for office.  It’s a good thing the system is sort of idiot proof, excluding Bush…we all know he cheated his way in; plain and simple.

The stock market is going up and down like usual…mostly because of fat cats trying so hard to keep MORE money in their pockets.  My bank Washington Mutual got sold and now it’s Chase bank…which is kinda weird because they’ve already place over draft fees on my account…not a good way to start a new relationship with a consumer, but what are ya gonna do…can’t win them all.  Halloween is coming up soon, and the company I work for is throwing their annual party…yippy…*waves a flag*  The only thing good about the party is usually they give away money…Like $20 bucks in an envelop…that’s the only thing I’ve gotten, others have gotten more.  The also have a raffle, which I never win anything in…some of the stuff I really need to…but I digress.  It’s their way of saying thanks for work for us.  It’s the only party they have which sucks.  Really the party sucks…half of the games are broken, people bring their kids and let them run rampant…the food is good…the go-karts are slow…it’s really pretty bad.  At least we get to have a party…can’t hate on that.  Oh!!  Did I meantion that the company isn’t being as profitable as it used to be…so their cutting costs…

I’ve been on a painting kick recently.  I painted my first munny, and now I’m painting a picture, I think it’s coming our really well.  I’m very proud of it, I’ve decided to do lots more.  I’ve been trying to get out the house more lately.  Some buddies of mine at work took me out to a dive bar a last weekend and we had a really great time.  It was my first time in a dive bar, and it was really nice.  Still felt a bit out of place, being the only black guy there, but I’d go back.  I’ve been doing a lot of random stuff lately.  Stuff to take my mind off of things.  My life is starting to take it’s own direction, and it’s really good.  I’m starting to do things a little differently.   I’ve gotten rid of things I don’t use; cable, clothing, ect.  I have a lot of stuff I’m going to donate to charity…mostly the cloting, and shoes.  This weekend I’m supposed to be getting dreads put in, and I’m really stoked about it.  I’ve been wanting them for a while, and I’ve just been to afraid to get them.  I’m thinking about picking up skate boarding again, but I think I like BMX a little more.  Either way I’m going to learn a few tricks on one of them…I’ve made a few decisions regarding my life, and I’m working on getting them squared away.

 First step is getting my car…anyone who knows me really well knows I’m afraid of driving alone, and since my car is in Texas…I have to get it and drive it back…Needless to say I haven’t gotten anyone to go with me. I may have to just drive it back, and I’m okay with that, I just don’t want to do it.

Second step, forgiving myself getting the fuck out of this house.  The more I stay here the more I realize how much I don’t like being here.  I spent a lot of time away from here, and it’s because this place is hollow.  There’s nothing here…I sleep in my bed…but I don’t live here.  Home is where the heart is…and my heart was never here in this house.  So at the end of my lease…I’m leaving…I have to…I can’t stand being here.  It’s going to be an easy move too, becasue all my shit is still in boxes.  That’s right, I never unpacked completely.  Ask April, the only tough things to move will be my furniture, and it’s Ikea furniture.

I’ve also started looking for new employment.  Working and making money is my hobby, drawing is my real job.  Right now there aren’t many options avaible to me, he who has no car.  I’ve realized that I can’t stay in one spot forever,  April taught me that.  I have a lot of work to do, and a short time to do it in.  The more I do, the more I realize what I want.  This is something I really needed.

Little Big Planet comes out soon.  April got Kratos, and I went out and Nariko, we’re supposed to trade them so that we can have booth.  I’m personally looking forward to making lots and lots of Megaman inspired stages.  So geeked right now.  Everytime I think about it, I get so giddy!!!  I’m like a little kid right now.  Speaking of Megaman…MEGAMAN 9 IS OUT and as soon as my bills are paid for the month.  I’m gonna get it.  OH MAN I CAN’T WAIT TO DIE SO MANY TIMES TRYING TO MEMORIZE THE LEVELS!!  That was really the best part of the game, it’s what made it so difficult.  So stoked, about this one, it’s like playing Megaman 2…only my awesome!!  Bionic Commando Re-armed was the same way, it took me way back.  I still haven’t beaten it yet…Hitler’s helicopter is a bitch.  I’m not even gonna tell you how many secret trails I’ve completed either.  FUCK YOU CAPCOM WITH YOUR AWESOME GAME MAKING ABLILITIES!!!  I <3 you.  ^_^.  Street Fighter 4 comes out soon, trust me it’s as kick ass as they say.  Resistance 2 is coming out…sometime soon…I hope it’s as good as the first.    Final Fantasy 13 is looking promising…I’m a huge fan so I’m always stoked when a new one comes out.  Dissida: Final Fantasy is totally on my list of shit to pick up.  It’s like they ported the whole Kingdom Hearts II engine on to the PSP.  SWEET!!  Kingdom Hearts: Re-Chain of Memories is coming in December, and I can’t wait for that!!

Well that’s all my thoughts.

My buddy Nest is working on a project he likes to call Dreamers Cadenas( Dreamers Chains).  It will be a section of the site that will contain side stories, done by guests.  Hopefully they will start in November, and I’ll be posting them here, on the front page of the site, and they will be posted on a seperate section so you can read them at your leasure…I just have to figure out the coding for that.  Anyways, he’s been working really hard so support him by reading it and leaving feed back.  The story will address a huge amount of plot holes I left open..some on purpose…other I totally forgot about.  If his story goes well, there will be more.

I’m out

…I want some…bigger than Keith Olberman….  Observe.

Get informed. As Hardcore gamer, I am really tired of being hassled, and this genius, I really mean that, detailed every point, and then some. Watch each and every video and make your own decision.

Vote with your mind and your wallets, and don’t let people do this to you. I feel a lot more informed then I did yesterday.

I haven’t posted anything written in a very long time, and felt I needed to keep you kids up to on stuff.  Firstly, April is doing very well, she’s made a more than speedy recovery, and seems to have way more energy these days.  She’s also brought it to my attention, that our relationship has gotten deeper since her surgery.  I think we have a bit of a bond going.  Recently it seems like talking to her is the most interesting thing in the world.  I don’t dare show it to her face though…gotta be a man…  Truth is, I don’t like showing her my feelings.  I don’t really like opening up like that to anyone.  My mom will tell you the same thing.  She’s chipping away at the lock though, although I’ve already given her the key.  Lately I’ve been drawing the newer issues of the comics that will be posted months on down the line, and I think they’re much better.  The issue I’m currently working on was straight foreward, and then I thought…what about the other characters…they’re doing stuff, so I’m subtracting pages, and adding new ones that show them as well.  I’m much happier with the content…how is that related to April…well she’s been my muse lately.  I’m been in much better spirits and wanting to convey the energy she’s been giving me.  I think I’m about done with the Alanta, GA arch and I’ve started thinking about the next one.  My two month break is coming up here in a month or two, so I really want to get the artwork done before I start that break.  In addition to this I try and do more colored pictures.  The manga will still be in black and white.  I’m sticking to my guns on this one, but I want to have more colored works to pass around.

In case you haven’t noticed, with all the boobies flying about, there’s a button to my studio mates website.  Dreamers Dynasty, has joined up with Shonen Punk, Rouge Saga, and Tea Beer Studios.  I hope to start working with those guys soon, to make this book and what ever other projects I can sit down and work on as good as they can be, and in turn I hope to learn a great deal from them.  As developments come along, I’ll post them here.  The manga is still going in full swing so no changes have been made yet.

So anyone who has a t.v. over the past two weeks has been keeping up with the RNC and the DNC…personally I’m and Democrate, and I’m not afraid of that.  I’m not looking for change, I would like to be able to get a raise sometime soon…but all in all I’m not really looking for anything major…I just want to live, and support my gaming habits, and above all else…enjoy my life.  I’m black, yes, but I don’t care what color the nominies are…as long as they do a better job then Bush, which is easier by comparison.  So it comes as no surprise that when Barack Hussien Obama was nominated, and his supporters gave speechs, I wasn’t really moved…I teared up a little when it was made official, because I just witnessed history, which is a beautiful thing…but then something happened the next day…the govenor of Alaska was nominated for Vice President…and I was like okay…no big deal right…it’s just the Republicans trying to show up Obama…normal political theatre…boy was I in for the must rudest and fucked up awakening ever… not only, and this will sound sexist but hear me out, was this govenor a woman…but a former beauty queen… I know what you’re thinking…so what…she’s a woman…you’re right, and that’s not my problem.  My problem is that SHE is riding on the coat tails of Hillary Clinton, that’s my problem.  There is a far more qualified woman that can do the job.  This lady, has even less experience then Obama, and HAS NEVER BEEN IN THE SENATE OR CONGRESS, being a govenor is all well and good…but she’s under investigation too…  WTF!!  This woman is to Hillary what Darth Vader is to, say…Anikin Skywalker…that’s not fair to Anikin/Darth Vader…  She is completely against everything that Hillary was for, socialized medicine, a womans right to choose, insurance companies covering birth control in addition to viagra.  You name it she’s against it…well not exactly…she’s for her daughters right to choose whether or not to keep a baby at the age of 17, she’s just against everyone elses right to make that choice.  I’ve never every been so angry at one group of people…Not only do the RNC want to keep the rich, rich, but the want to a make the poor, poorer.  Obama want’s to raise taxes for people who make for than $100,000 a year, that caught me.  He want’s to increase corprate taxes.  I’m like yay more money for me!!  McCain hasn’t said anything that I can really latch on to.  Palin, well to be honest it’s not really her fault, is squacking the same talking points…  I don’t think she’ll do very well in her debates at all…we’ll see, but that’s a bit of a ways off…we’ll see what happens…  I’m willing to give this lady the same chance that Hillary got…we’ll see what turns out, but right now…team Obama all the way.

p.s. No updates until Monday.  Peace.
