First thing I have to say is that I'm sorry for not commenting and critiquing more often in the past week. My grandmother suffered an infection-based heart attack earlier this week and was committed to intensive care, so most of my time has been spent with my family and at the hospital. Right now she's doing okay, but her foot has suffered a bit of a snag and might need some serious work done to stave off amputation. It's gonna hold back my progress on both Beyond the Mist and Silverfell: Circus of Sin, but there's very little I can do to help the situation.

In more positive news, I've been working on a personal nerd project while sitting around in waiting rooms and in cars. If you didn't know, I'm one of the nerdiest individuals you might ever meet. Dungeons and Dragons? I'm a DM with over six campaigns under my +3 Belt of Levitation. World of Darkness? I have all the expansion books and three characters. Anime? I hate most of it, but I would marry most any character in Ghost of the Shell. This pet project has to do with the card game, Magic: The Gathering, of which I am an avid fan. I've played a lot of video games, but nothing matches the strategy of Magic, at least not that I've found. Anyway, I'm designing planeswalkers, which are the big bad boys of the game, to go with the decks I've built. It's nerdy, yes, but I'm hoping to commission art and cards done when I get the chance and the spare cash.

Aww, well gosh. It looks like taking a creative writing class over the summer has sparked my magical imagination genes and propelled me back into this grand ol' website, so I'm back, and I intend to be so for quite the while. Comments, pictures, stories, short blurbs, horrible rants and all will be coming weekly until I run out of stuff to put on here. I'm even looking to update that ghastly deviant I.D.

As for my personal life, it's been fantastic in it's own way. I've been getting a good, solid hold on myself and have managed to find a way to sit still.

Hallelujah!

Well now...

Looks like I'm finally home in my home state of New York after quite an eventful vacation in Hawaii. Now, I don't want to bore you all with a long paragraph of what I did, so it's BULLET FORM TIME.

-Got harassed by four drunk Guatemalans
-Almost got thrown into a koi pool (see above)
-Got mistaken for an Iranian (see above)
-Flew on a helicopter dubbed the roflcopter
-Somehow got three woodcarving knives through JFK airport security without knowing I had them
-Bought three different hats JUST to keep my hair down
-Learned that I hate the wind
-Saw a real life hippie town
-Got a picture of a real life hippie
-Saw a sunrise at the top of a volcano
-Rode an ATV and walked where they filmed Jurassic Park, Hook, and Tropic Thunder
-Used the rope swing that Harrison Ford used in Indiana Jones in the first scene
-Fell in the water wearing all my clothes (see above)
-Froze my ass off (see above)
-Had a whole row to myself on the plane ride home

I also want to wish you all a very late Merry Christmahannukwansica and hope you had an amazing one. As for this new year, hope that goes well too. PEACE OUT.

Holiday Break

Sat Dec 13, 2008, 8:10 PM
The most finite of truths can best the grandest of lies.

So, class is finally over, but this is when the fun stuff starts: Finals. I know I'm pulling an A is Comp & Lit 1, Political Issues and Ancient Philosophy, but I'm having trouble with Sociology. The teacher didn't go over anything himself throughout the entire semester. What ended up happening was that the last test failed all but three people, me included, which caused half the class to fall below the failing line grade-wise. Even if they ace the finals they have no shot of passing the class. I don't know about any of you, but I consider that a failure of teaching. The worst part is that he just yells at them for not getting the material when he has the teaching ability of a dry sponge. Actually, I could learn more from a sponge; at least it would be slightly more engaging and entertaining.

On the bright side I'm going to have a long Christmas break. I'm spending the first two weeks in Hawaii where I'll be taking non-stop pictures to upload. I'll need to keep myself occupied because, while I love traveling, I hate being bored in places other than my general area. I should end up having some neat shots of the Maui volcano, the underwater reefs and the city and forest areas of the two islands I'm visiting. I won't be one of those guys who uploads them all at once (especially since I've been slacking over the past few... months) but I'll put one or two up a day or something like that. I don't know if I'll have good internet access so I might upload late. I'll still comment all I can though.
