The Night Is Darkest Before The Dawn

I keep trying to get into the spirit of drawing again, however it's hard to find the energy to get pencil to paper. It's a resolution so I gotta get my ass in gear. Some other things in my life going on at the moment is that I've signed up for classes for the fall quarter :D. My brother and I have turned in all the papers requested for transfer! There was some confusion as to what papers to turn in, and when we turned them in there was still confusion, however it was all cleared up when we had called the admin. office. It turns out that it takes, apparently, 3-4 weeks for it to clear with the school site. *thank goodness* So far I'm transferring with pretty good grades, however I've made it a goal to step it up even further, and in order to do that my Brother and I have signed up for classes that are two days a week so that we have ample time to study. Whereas a lot of our semesters were 4-5 days a week, which had left odd times to study. Any who, no excuses now. Despite the family problems, and a hard time saving money...things are steadily getting better little by little.

Happy happy joy joy

Well....today is a great day despite everything going on. I finally received my prize for the Dark Horse Creepy contest :D.

Dark Horse Creepy Contest Winner

hmmm... well I was notified of being one of the three winners for the contest on the 3rd of May..(The prize being Creepy Archives volume 9) however it's the 16th of May, and I'm wondering if it was a hoax... My first reaction is that this assumption is untrue because Dark Horse is my favorite company, that I have my complete trust in them, and why would they put up the contest....only for it to be a fake one? My second reaction is that what if I didn't win....what if someone, who didn't work for Dark Horse, tell me that I won when I didn't..... I just don't even want to think about that.. I won't allow myself to think like that.... I just hope it comes soon and that my mind will be put to ease. *crosses fingers*

light at the end of the tunnel

My junior college days are almost at an end. I'm nearly done with papers to transfer to one of the local universities and even though these things are good and all....a lot of stressful things have happened throughout this year and it's not even half way through. Staying strong is all I can do, and I'm sure i'll make it through the year.

The days come and go...where am I?

Well...it's been about two months since I've last posted....hmmm...somehow I thought i'd do a lot better than .5 posts a month @.@(obviously I'm shy about 2 days roughly to consists of two months). Updates I suppose...I've been jogging, I've been working out, and I've lost about 10 pounds in about 2-3 weeks @.@. So far the semester has been alright...the days are long, but not useless. I've been in better spirits throughout this semester as well (well....better sometimes >.<) I still can't help getting annoyed or pissed when someone does something that, to me, seems asinine or childish. I'm also saving more money, and that is also positive. peace out for now.

New Beginnings...Enough Time Spent Being The Sap

Well...it's been awhile...I figured since I was writing for myself...hell...I've always been writing for myself seeing as how I'm just some dude on the internet to most people, and like most...I have access to the internet so why not use it as I see fit...and that's what has led me here...I guess :D

I have new resolutions this year..I'm not going to get any specifics since they're for me alone, however I've been doing good so far, and I've been having a pretty good time these passed 2 months. Finally transferring, and all I need to do is finish some papers and i'm good to go. i've been doing better with my money, and that's always a good thing. Where..before I'd think I liked something so I just got it, and now I analyze whether or not I just like it because it looks good, do I see myself still being interested in the long run, and I've been usually saving more money by thinking a lot more about buying things.

changed comic stores... got tired of being talked down to (which is weird...wouldn't the person want to keep customers and not drive them away?), got tired of ordering things and they never come in, just got tired of the attitude...I have enough on my plate..why deal with other peoples' b.s. and I gotta say i'm happy about the change. shopped at the store for almost 10 years, and i'm treated like some stranger just walking through sometimes wtf is with that. eh. it's over..moving on.

The King Is Alive And Well

I find the mythos of Conan to be above and beyond a lot of the material out right now. As of this year I do not collect any marvel, and no DC (except a brave and the bold issue here and there depending on team ups). sad to have had the conan the cimmerian end..however I'm looking forward to king conan, definitely can't wait for each issue of the frazetta cover series, and still waiting for my savage sword issue with the reprint with bran mak morn..unfortunately 8(.

So far three weeks have almost passed for school, and although one of my classes was canceled I'm doing alright...especially with the company of my brother and my books to keep me occupied. I have a lot of resolutions this year...some small..some big..overall hopefully all do-able. Money problems...sure..who doesn't have that right...family problems...? you bet @.@ i'll endure... i'll move on.. who knows what the tide will bring :D. ttyl for now.

The Snowball Effect

it seems that whenever I am able to accrue a sum of money into my savings...something comes up or a problem pops out of nowhere, not even a result by my own doing, and I have to pay for it out of my own pocket and to be knocked back down to being broke once again.. why does this happen.. It seems it's happened quite frequently this passed year.. I guess that's what rainy day money is for though right.. it seems i'm the only one that saves money around here... and I just can't fathom why people don't have the natural inclination or foresight to at least save up money here or there. I have so much rage and I can't help it...but since when is the world fair and only the people that make mistakes have to pay for it. I just gotta try and stay strong for myself...no sense in losing it...what money is gained can simply/hopefully be gained again.

hmm Tis' A New Year

of course this was six days ago lol. I woke up today, refreshed, alive, and full of energy. No1 is going to take anything away from me today. Listening to music and enjoying the sun.

Got accepted to a university
Trying to stay healthy.
Staying away from drama as best as I can and that's all I can do.
