Why You Suck

Oh God.

Where does it begin?

Ok, as you all know, I'm writing a frickin' long paper (15 pages people!!!) on nothing but the life of an average Korean high school student. The one subject with no information.

Being pretty desperate and this thing is due in like 3 days, I contacted everyone I knew, even people I HAD NO CLUE WHO THEY WERE like askakorean (who by the way, NEVER ASK HIM ANYTHING!!! he was NO help at all. If you're interviewing someone for something, you don't give one word answers. I mean, is this guy for real? I was on the brink of total stress break down the other day when I found out the due date for this paper is even closer then planned, and no one contacted me yet. And all I get for most of my Q's? "yes." "no." It's like the guy never lived there in his life!
If someone asked me about US  HS I'd give detail and helpful things which were important, not "no" "yes"... He's probably Mexican.


The stress has been rising...I haven't slept in like 72 hours. I finally got back with one helpful source. He just came back from teaching in Korea, and he was REALLY excited to answer my Q's. I mean, he put the actual Korean to shame. (yes, I realize I'm bashing him) he couldn't wait to answer more and keep in touch. Nothing was more relieving then reading that e-mail with 3 pages of long answers. Needless to say, I'm finally getting somewhere. After a month of searching, instead of writing, I was waiting for replies. How sad is that?

As another upside, I have another research paper assigned. So life sucks.

OH and I have to make a presentation on my Korean paper. Joy right? I have a lot now to present, but I'm worried...my teacher's been giving me a hard time with the whole research thing. Not much you can say other then, "Sorry everyone I contacted decided to ruin my life?" I didn't tell anyone I contacted when the paper was due, due to respect. I didn't want pressure, from past experiences, in an interview you never make any signs of rush or say you're under time limit...it makes the interviewee nervous and can forget major things or whiz through am important story which you need more detail. Last time I show respect to anyone online...

Well, I'm going to go write my paper now (type it, rather) and blast the halllelujah chorus on my earphones.

Korea Korea Korea Korea Korea....

All that's been ringing in my head is Korea...

Let's start from the beginning. I became bored with language class, and decided to learn a new language at the same time. Since some cousins of mine are Korean, I decided to learn Korean. It was difficult at first, confusing, since all the languages I've ever learned were closely related to English (French, Spanish, Romanian...?) and then there's this whole new ballpark of words & characters. So, yes, I'm still struggling. (half the time I think I'm swearing when I say little things) But anyway...

Later, a girl at school was going nuts because a new Beast CD had come out. And she's obsessed from Korean Pop. So, she began to educate me on their pop culture, (which she knew pretty much everything about) and she got me hooked. I've planned on going there for the passed couple of years to visit my cousins, but never did, and I really really really want to now. I'm learning their language, some culture (thru W. History, had a Korea Unit) and pop culture. I felt pretty good. Then....I got another idea...

In my writing class, we're having to write a 7-10 page paper on anything we want. ("voice of interest" teach the teacher something she/he doesn't even know) Instantly I knew it was going to be on Korea, but what more? The only thing I could think of was education/economic (jobs). So I got to work. And boy is it depressing. Highest rate of suicide & plastic surgery. Girls' use something called Sang-Ka-Pul glue(?) where they literally glue their eyelids so they have bigger eyes. Growing up I always thought it was bad in the states how girls tried to be someone else, and wanted to be pretty, but at least they would except who they were after so long, and it sounds like in Korea, they can't except that. It's this, or nothing. I may be wrong, but out of 5 sites (from American Exchange Students) videos, etc, they all said the same thing.

So, Korean-language
                  -pop/traditional culture
                  -education

what's next?


Someone asked me why I was so fixated on Korea, and not other Asian countries like Japan. Well, to be honest.....you always think of Japan or China when people say "Asia". Growing up I will never forget meeting a 7 year old girl who lived next door, I remember asking her if she was Chinese, because she was oriental. She shook her head no, and said she was Korean. I had to think for a minute, because I never heard "Korean" much, it was either China or Japan. She had just moved to the states. And my god she was smart. She knew 8 languages fluently and she was two grades ahead of others her age. And then there was me, you know, the little 8 year old next door who was still struggling with multiplication... She was really nice, and I missed her when she moved back home. But going back to the subject...No one knows much about Korea here. (in the states) at my library...we have two books. One on the language, and one for the Korean War. That's it. And this library is the biggest in the state. Googled, I barely received 20 links that were solely on Korea, the others merely mentioned the country.  But yet there's an entire 2-4 shelves on nothing but Japan, history, ecu., eco., etc, etc...same for most countries I've looked up.

I'm back on blogger! Hope to write again soon..........if I have time! 

Nostalgic ....Nothing

Ok. I haven't written in a while...reason? I have been mucho grande busy. Our school is moving into a new building last minute, so I STILL haven't started school yet, and I was helping out a couple days ago by moving in everything for it. It's HUGE!!

I got into the Nostalgic Critic ....and my mom hates it. I think the reason is obvious. But it's funny, and it makes me laugh, so I watch it. Like....everyday. lol

Gotta run, but yea....thought I would write for the first time in September. Won't be taking a Tech. Class this year, so no more blogging on this blog!!!! Fuuuuu---

yea.

It's gonna be weird going to school with a bunch of middle schoolers and Freshmen. O_O All middle schoolers (except a few) are all cocky beyond words. When I was told there were gonna be middle schoolers at your school, I nearly laughed till I peed my pants. Literally. I mean, last year was classic. If not, perfect. It was uber uber uber tiny school, and like 200 or less kids going there. I was friends with just about everyone there, including the seniors and totally douche kids. We had block classes, so you spent like 2-4 hours in the same room, with breaks, so you could basically feel at home there. Then....this happened...

Don't take me wrong, the new school is awesome, cool, but not perfect. We have 45 min. classes, which is nice, but almost too short. I feel like I just got there, and now I gotta leave. Plus, half the fun kids that went there either moved or are no longer going to our school this year. Which sucks rotten shit toenail fungi. And the other half don't talk to each other cuz now they're *too cool* to talk to their own peers. Reason is.......they don't want too?
So, yea. This first week felt like eternity, and I have Con. every weekend. NOOOOO!!!!!! So, I'll have school on the weekends too! (someone shoot me)

OH!! And you know Mr. Elsworth? Yea? They fired him!! He was like my fav teacher last year. And I don't have Miss Kinney for writing. INstead I have some other lady who talks through her teeth and obviously doesn't know the way a teenage mind works.

I'm screwed.

Picture????

I dyed my hair!!!! 

Rise of the Apes

Just saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes.....If you wanna see my reaction when I first heard about it....read this .

It. Was. Awesome. I have been wanting to go see a great movie that was satisfying, but finally this one came out. It's one of those movies you wanna see again and again. I mean, it totally pays to see the originals first, (you catch on with the rocket going into space and later the newspaper headline saying "lost in space"......the three guys in space? In the original?) Yes. I highly suggest SEEING IT. They did a fantastic job. It was so well done, I'm gonna see it again.

Alright...since you now know...what's happened. I guess I can shut up already. :)

Lightning!!!

Ok, the house was hit by lightning. 4 FEET FROM MY HEAD.

I'll let that sink in for a sec...


Yea...it hit the very top of our house...and I was sleeping on the bunk...in the attic part of the house that night. We lost some things (oven, computer, fridge...) but things are going back to normal. Just thought I'd say that much.


Ok, here's an ironic tale..... I heard about Slumdog Milionaire a year and a half before it was released. I was planning on going to the midnight premier...but I couldn't. My family saw it while I was gone, and loved it, so they showed it to everybody they knew. By the time I came back, I forgot about it (weird) and I didn't remember till two weeks ago in the library. I saw it on the shelves, so I got it and FINALLY saw it. It was was epic. It's now on my buying list.

And..........I've become readiddicted to video-games. I was before, then school, now I am again....God help us all. 

I survived a lightning bolt.

Rant on Summer Highlight...

Well, I just lived through the highlight of my summer break, now that it's over with. Yes, I said it. Summer is OVER. Ugh, finally. I'm taking some random classes, and picked up some more shifts. I'm finally busy again.....a little. ANYWAY. :)

I'm gonna rant now!

First of all, I was on a short roadtrip. It was epic. My bro, and my sis came, along with a few other people. We drove ALL THE WAY to see King Tut. It felt like we were in the car for eternity. Somone had a camera, and I wanted to destroy that thing. Ok, so I fell asleep on the way there, my head on the window glass, and my arm around the back of the chair (I sat in the back with my sis and bro. My sis sat in the middle, so I had fun squishing her. :) ).....so what? They all thought it was hilarious. Big whoop. (I woke up with the camera in my face, and the typical..."Waky, Waky..." So, yea, we finally got there.

It brought back to many memories being in that museum. I've only been there like 5 times since I've live here, (all for exhibits) but every time it was awesome. Like, I saw the Star Wars exhibit, the Pompeye (spelling?) and Titanic. Oh, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Which were ok. But now I saw King Tut. It's never fun going alone. But we got our tickets and we had 25 minutes to burn, so we walked into this *brain section* and they had a computer game which you could play to test how good your brain works. Let's put it this way...I did..........ok. (lies...I flunked like a frickin' retard) So yea. I wasn't the only one tho! That made me feel better. I already had to do some summer school for my bad grades LAST year.

We went through the exhibit with some radio cast thign going on. It got pretty annoying. Not the radio, but the people. People from BEHIND us passed us and finished the exhibit long BEFORE us. I mean, geez, you pay 30 bucks for a ticket, you wanna whiz through it like that? No way. Take your time. So we did. We even sat down on the ground waiting for some of our group to catch up. (Mostly my sis...she liked to read everything. So we'd sit on the benchs and wait for her before we went to the next room). But it took us more then 3 hours to get through the thing. It creeped me out, there was this teenager that kept looking at me. I mean, it wouldn't be so weird, but they'd come up pretend to read when their not, and gaze at my face. I said some thing's they'll probably never forget (they learned some new words) and told them to get lost. So they did.
After the exhibit we decided to stroll around for a bit, then we remembered, an old friend of ours worked here. We hadn't seen her since like 2-3 years ago. So, we found her number in one of our phones, and prayed she didn't change number, called. She answered, and said she was working. !!! She said she was in the back with the gardens, so we went there. It was awesome...even though we were all starving, (none of us had eaten anything since we left early that mornning) and a friend of mine had a splitting head-ache. She showed us around and then she showed us a cherry tree they had in the back. So we all gorged ourselves on it. She said it was ok, so we did. We had a small "pit-spitting-contest" but we hit a few kids so we stopped.

Next we all wanted to go out to eat. We knew it had to be close 'cause none of us could last being in the car longer then 10 min. We invited the museum worker, but she couldn't so we went to the one place no one wanted to go. Some Mexican rest. It was ok. But loud. And busy. We managed to get a table and we all ordered like 3 plates for each. Then, after we pealed ourselves off the seats, we went back into the car to drive home. The very long drive home. That was even fun. We talked on about how much we all felt like crap, and we told jokes and stories when we were in school. We're still planning that major roadtrip down the coast of Cali. That's only in a year or two away. Then we all off in our own directions. But to ease the tension building up, my bro cranked up the radio and we rolled down all the windows (it was HOT that day, no lie, it didn't even feel good stripping. O.O JK, everyone was panting like dogs) and we all starting singing to the songs (songs we didn't even know) on the top of our lungs. Mind you, it was around midnight, and the traffic on the High Way was nasty. So we got plenty of honks and yells. But it was fun, one of the best ones was Soulja Boy "Yaahh!" and "Kings and Queens" by 30 Sec. to Mars. It was classic. By the time we got home we were all pooped, (after dropping people off that is). That was my fun summer highlight. It was short lived, but hopefull in the next year or two, it'll happen again. The I'm moving outta the country! Woot! Finally! ....again.

I just realized I have no images. I alway have images. So here we go. Unfortunately there were no pics taken on our whirl-wind, only a video, but I haven't had my hands on it yet, so it can't be shared yet. ):
I have been watching Death Note again tho....(L is my avatar btw)
He always makes me feel insanely stupid.

Oh, and I've been doing some reading this summer. (Eep!) and I finished Jurassic Park...

I hate to admit it..but the book was a little better, and no I haven't read the second one yet. Gawd, this is like a huge post!

One more pic for the run ..... 

This isn't it, but we were passing by a water pass, during a beautiful sunset that night. It looked a lot like this. I wish I could have gotten a pic of it, (I really wanted to) but I didn't have my phone on me, nor a camera. I don't think the vid got it any good. 

That's it....finally. No one's gonna read this....huh? Oh, well....and...

PS...Dee, yes, you did win, I'll admit it. 

mangas.....

I tried my hand at it in the past....but this is my newest graphic...

and page two...

Yup! That's it for now!

Hi...how's it going?

I haven't written in a while....reason being....I don't think anyone's reading it. My summer has sucked higher then ever before, and I feel like s***. But it doesn't matter. I have been working on art, and I haven't gotten far. See?

It's a print!

And......this.....

My work area. 

I saw ExtremeDays again...

And The Girl Who Leapt Through Time again....

Same pic as last time. Sry....can't seem to find a better one...

Oh, and I saw Tales of Earthsea by Goro Miyazaki

Which was amazing. 

Anyway....I thought I'd write something, and tell the world that I'm not dead....yet. :) JK!!!

Rant on Summer .....so far

Summer's proved nothing fantastic. If anything...it proves I rely 100% on my classes to get me through my life. I've never been so overwhelmed by this in all my life. I've never really experienced Summer before. I took Summer classes, and or moved again and again. I've always had classes and work to worry about. But this year, I hit rock bottom, and now I am slightly.....bored. Having no where to go, and nothing to do has proved lethal to me. I swear the first two days I woke up panicing, thinking I had classes that morning. But NoOoOo... My sis scared me a few times, for she has classes every other day, so she wakes up early to go. And since I'm home again...I have to get used to it. Sharing a room with her now. She's mostly in there....I give her her privacy. I usually only go in there at night...er...in the wee hours of the mornning. My family is extremely torn up. We're barely holding the threads of being back together. I really hate to say it, but, next year when my sis is married and moved out, and maybe my older bro...things might slow down. Too many thorns in the family bush.

I want to take the foreign exchange program next year. I've never done it before...in a program. I would love to go to Japan for a year. (they'd probably laugh at how stupid I am) Japan is so beautiful, and the culture just makes my jaw drop. I'd love to move there permanantly one day. .... just beautiful...I especially love the people though. They're all so nice, and have such big hearts. They don't look to bad either :P

Absolutely love it. 

In my way of craze and ambitionness lifestyle recently....I've watched more and more of Naruto. A TV show which I began when it started....and dumped it during the school year. It's good, more childish, but amusing. Gosh....what am I DOING anymore? Here...a mature, grown human being, acted as if drugged over just a little vacation. Man, I should keep active more often. Anyway...random pic from Naruto....well, yea...

CLICK TO VIEW FULL THING

Oh, and I finally watched the last movie for EOTE. Eden of the East. A great brief 8 episode show, followed by two movies. I enjoyed it. 

I should have found a better pic. 

So...that being said.......any random person can contact me by e-mail, IM, or through here.....? I use pretty much the same....name...I have nothing better to do except write more, and draw Project: Black...which I'm going to upload some of the first pics in a bit. I'm FINALLY inking. Thank God.

Cry Me a River (Bury Me)

FINALS ARE OVER......never been so happy since last time Finals were over. It seems like every year Finals get more and more stressful, and every year it seems to be easier for more people then me. (Seflish alert!....not. I'm not that selfish...at all) This year I had to ...
1) be a counseler for about 5 people. O_O
2) had more then 10 commissions in one week
3) had to study like a madman for classes which I was failing
4) had to pack for the move
5) personal family issues.

Through it all...I barely survived. I had a hard time smiling in classes, let alone not speaking my mind. I did a few times, and it hurt some friends of mine (who will probably no longer speak to me again) Which in a way...is pitiful. My generation has a lot to learn, and it seems like me and very few other people understand it. First of all, no one listens anymore. I mean, whenever someone's talking to me I'm all ears. I'll nod and answer, but when I talk...it's like their OCD. Look...a squirrel! That's just rude, and it'll turn many people off, including myself. I'm surprised at myself for lasting this long. Another thing is actually taking a joke, and taking something which is serious...seriously. If I say a joke, you know it's a joke, but kids now on days...don't. They take it seriously, and I have to soften the tears. But if it's dead serious...they think it's a joke, and laugh at your broken soul. Why do I even try?

Cry me a river is my newest song added to my late late late playlist. Plus it's for friend(s) of mine. Since school's out no one's gonna read this from my classes,...so anyone from a different country...or state.....or....island....?

I WAS SHOCKED OUT OF MY MIND...I never lost my temper ONCE all Finals week! :) Last year and the year before I did, and I got low grades because of it. I would blow up, and before you know it, be yelling at the pro. ready to throw punches, but this year I reamined mellow, and just bit my tongue. But you know what's funny? Even though I didn't lose it...I still think I hurt some people I shouldn't have. I say things straight from the heart, and some people don't like to take it simply as that. I mean, yes there were some crappy things which weren't.....wanted, but it was either for common sense, or normality. So...if that particular person is reading this, you know what I mean. (If you're reading this)

More digital art!  A friend of mine sent it to me....dunno who did it, actually...

It's big piece.

I submited a lot more art, and I've started my inter-national art contest piece. It might be even bigger then my fish! (My inked fish is almost as big as my wall....I submited it last year, and it didn't win anything. ): It was painful one too. Took me over 9 months of inking...sketching....inking, and platening. It's so detailed now and....odd, but one of my true masterpieces.

I'll submit it sometime,

Comment...advice...? Final Project Final

That post! Woot! :)

This is to all my peers....

What did you think of my boring presentation?

I know it was a drag to get through, but hey, it's over now....hopefully, so tell me what I did wrong, right, or what you liked most about it! 

I was going to insert a song or something...but nothign fit into the file amount. ): 

I got this entire thing done in just about a week....or procrastinating. The entire PowerPoint I got done the night before the presentation. heehee...

 I fell in love with this song... (completely off topic) 

 

Been working on Project: Black like crazy! First ch. should be done before summer! It'll be a short manga tho, if anything one book or two. That's it. Nothing I want to continue later on. I've been under a lot of stress with Finals, so I've bought a giant box of powdered donuts, and I sat down, listening to the song above, (or rap) ate donuts, and did my hmk. Life doesn't suck much more then this. 

lol lol lol - Final Project

Post 5! One more and I'm done! :)

I'm in class again...working on nothing. haha.

Once again everything is at home. So I can't do anything. My synopsis is done, and at home. My PowerPoint is almost not done...also at home, under a file unkown to PC's.

Since I have nothing to do..I've been looking up more art. I didn't really know WHAT to look up, so I googled my uncle. He's what you would call a famous artist. He has art in just about every country I could name. His style is really distinct and unique. I haven't met or heard of anyone who has a style even close to how amazing his is. It's truly something special. If you want to see some works of his, (or where some of art has been click here or his actual site here. Or even here.) click the links.

I'm kinda at war with myslf here. I'm dyng to have some of Yuumei's art on my PowerPoint, but I can't decide on what! Oh, and I just found out her real name in Wenqing Yan...spelled right? I was gonna have Knite, but right now This is looking like the way to go...Fish Eye Placebo.
Here's the poster cover for Knite....I've read all that she has out so, and it's amazing, I'm dying to read more.

Then there's Fish Eye Placebo...

I can't decide which one....

I'll upload pics later. Class is about to end, and I have to WALK to my next class....

Saw Skyline yesterday...after King Kong. It's lame. I could have slept through it. The trailer's make it sound and look epic, but it's like a rip off of CloverField. And the ending sucks. It just ends....It was like District 9 and War of the Worlds in the mix. I could have lived my life without seeing it.

Yay! I finished another post! One more and I'm done!

Going Ape/Sasuke -Final Project

Yes, I am watching King Kong right now, 2005 one, as I work on my powerpoint for the hundreth time. I keep putting it off because I really don't want to do it, but then I think...I have to, so I try again, and end up just staring at the screen like an idiot. So, that being said, I am on here...again. Seriously though, I've been monkeying around. X)

They did such a great job with this movie, it still blows me away every time I watch it.

I just saw Planet of the Apes right befoew King Kong. And before that, another Planet of the Apes, and before that another Planet of the Apes, and before that Princess Mononoke. I AM DYING TO SEE THE NEW PLANET OF THE APES!!!! :) :) :) A childhood favorite. I will never forget when I saw the first Planet of the Apes, (my mom brought it home when I was like 7) and I fell in love with it instantly. I'm not a monkey fan, but I thought the idea, the whole thing (even though it was just men in ape costumes) was perfect. If you haven't seen the trailer for the new Rise of the Planet of the Apes...watch it. 

I'm gonna watch all the originals, then the newest ones, then I'm going to the midnight premier of this one. It's like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars episode 3 all over again. Even maybe Avatar. It's too epic to pass up. 

As for back to the project....I am writing or....polishing my synopsis. I'm doing ok with it. My powerpoint is going to need some major work. So many images to choose from. 

Is this blog post 4 or 5? Owell, I guess I can guestimate. 

I told a friend of mine that I was asked to draw Sasuke again, and he got the idea of doing it himself. So he did a quick sketch, and sent it to me. I'm doing my own of course...but not digital like his. He's like me....LOVES semi-realism.

Boring Daylife

NOT a project post. Thank God.

Well, even though my time is off, I will tell you it is in the wee hours of the mornning. I just finished watching 4 movies back to back, and I can barely keep my eyes open. Just thought I'd say that. :)

My boring daylife? Well, today is the perfect day to display it. I woke up this mornning feeling negative, a sign of good health for me. (Or so I'm told) Classes were long, and intentionally boring beyond words. In my last 2 hours I just about lost it. A frickin' drunk monkey doing the tango.

I worked today, and it was rather interesting. The head boss asked me to do a "very important job" and lick envelopes. Yay... I got a paper cut on my tongue, and some creepy lady out of no where asked if she could "kiss it to make it better". I told her no thanks and then freaked out in back-room. Weird.

I came home with a splitting head-ache, and took a very long nap in the middle of my bedroom floor. I was too warped to get up. Next, I popped in a movie, and made choc. sodas for a few people. (Anyone who has never had a choc. soda....I'm sorry, but you haven't lived life out to it's fullest yet) When my older sis came home from somewhere. She said she was getting pink-eye. I took a look at it, and sure enough (I've had it enough times to know) she has it. Which is just great, cuz I have Finals this week, and if I get it, that means it's contagious, and I'm unable to go to my classes. Wrong time sis, wrong time.

I recieved a very strange message a day or two ago from someone...asking why I never really let my true identity out. Like what I look like, ect, ect. a) I love mystery. Half of you might know me and not even know it. (people in my classes...shut-up) I could tell you what I look like, but you might take a different image, and be looking for someone else. Like...I have dark blue eyes, and spiked black hair. Is it true? Who knows, but you might have a different image, right? Anyway...

New OC

Another manga with someone. It's gonna be small, and maybe innocent. The last girl didn't want to finish the project, so we both dropped it, even though I wanted to keep going. It was a great story, but...anyway.

That's all for now. Image? Ok...

Random Ideas. I liked the ties, and the sayings said on them. 

'Night everybody. 

Starting Up Again - Final Project

Day 3

I'm in class again...yay...that died.

So far, I have my synopsis done, and I'm about to begin the powerpoint. But I can't start it here. These computers have delayed technology. I mean, they are at least 3 years older then the first computer invented. So, that being said, the formats are old, and won't transfer to my a-maz-ing Mac at home. So, I have to finish and end everything at home. I have nothing to do right now. I was hoping my teacher wouldn't have us work on our projects in class today. But the one day he does...I can't. But I can't complain...much. At least the people who don't have time are capable to work on it now. Meanwhile, I sit.

On the up side, I have a few pics uploaded and a few other pics picked out. Haha, pics picked out. That was lame.

I have officially started my powerpoint...ugh

Another blog post down.

I Have Issues- Final Project

2nd entry out of 6. Here we go.

Yes, I am having issues. ~sigh~. I have yet to start my powerpoint, and I have yet to upload half of my works, and I have commisions piling up the ying yang. I need a day off of drawing. Oh, and I have PB to work on. (Project: Black) I officially started ch. 1. I did the prologue, and told the story, now it's work time.

I will NOT be using JUST my works. I repeat. NOT ALL my works. I will show some of Yuumei's artwork, and maybe some other sketches I find...randomly. I'll get permission first, of course.

I have am uploading images right now.

Gosh, this is boring. I can't wait till this presentation is over. I need TONS of images. I have my story laid out. I know how I'm goign to begin, and end. And the different levels are set. All I need to do is put it together. Not much different then yesterdays.

Should I use this one?

And, yes, I shrunk it. It's a pretty bad piece if you ask me, but it's a quick sketch, and it took like 5 min.

Yay, More Hmk!....Final Project

I have more hmk. Surprise, surprise, right? I was saved today, when my teacher said that instead of a Final, we're having a presentation. And mine is going to be on Art. (......BIG surprise there) How it all began, and where my inspiration came from, ect. And the types of art, and how much of it. It's gonna be boring. I was originally gonna put this on myoccrap because it's art related, but...I promised that it wouldn't have hmk labeled on it. So...here we go.

This will contain 6 blog enteries. So, bear w/ me.

I am starting with the synopsis, and I'm gonna do a power-point. I'll include most of my original works, from the beginning, to the most recent. I'll explain the technics, ect...

Well, this is the first blog for the future 6.

K-pop & Names

I've been having some pretty suckish days recently...and it makes my negativity even worse. ):

I'm listening to K-pop right now. 2pm actually. I was listening to SHINee, then DBSK and TVXQ, oh, and 東方神起 - Rising Sun. Awesome

Project: Black is no longer a secret. I told my sis one night, (I couldn't sleep) and eventually I told my mom too. Then I told someone in one of my classes, so it is now out there. I'm still a bit worried someone might steal it, so it won't be posted on here till Finals are over.

I'll give you a hint "Cancer" plays a huge role in the story.

It'll be dedicated to D. I only wish he was still alive to see how great an inspiration he was, and how his death, though too soon and tragic, helped me find a better path, and inspired me to draw a novel he would've wanted to read, 3 years ago. Thanks, D


I found this pic, and I instantly saw it as my newest avatar...

Yes. Me in the mornning. Bunny slippers and all. I love Garfield, it was my favorite comic growing up, then Foxtrot came, and then all of the them. (: Comics always make me happy. I think they're the only things that can make me actually smile. (Other then my bro, and stupid pranks)

Newest portrait I have to draw....

Yes, it is small. And it's actually a person...who isn't famous. It's supposed to be side-ways...she took the pic that way. Then asked me to draw it. I hope it turns out.

OH!, and I smashed my thumb from the car door. Yea, it's all black and purple now, and the nail has to come out. By pulling it. Yea...it moves. I think it's the coolest thing ever, but it creeps even my mom out. :)

Blogger need emoticons!

Hmk- The Cloud

The Cloud. It is a basically anything that is virtual. Like OZ, Deviantart, Google, mixpod, ect. Anything that isn't physically kept on your computer. So, if something major happens, you'll never lose files that are kept in the Cloud. That make any sense at all? I hope not
Advantages---You'll never lose anything. It will be there forever, or until you delete it. Things can be stored, and you won't lose any memory on your computer...well, much that is. 
Disadvantages---People HIGHLY under-estimate the country hacker. (That's a saying, btw) I, having been a pretty high standard hacker a while back, know how easy it is. It's a lot simpler then you'd think. (I no longer hack much, cuz it's also easy to catch hackers, and I didn't want to do anything stupid..I now avoid hackers) So, your stuff isn't THAT safe...I just contradicted myself. You get my point. It's safe without hackers, but with hackers...it's not. 
This being said, you now know about the Cloud. (We had a lesson on it in my tech class) Pretty basic stuff for the average Joe. ________________
I had originally written this post in Chinese...I forgot to reset the language setting. !) So, after I hit edit, for some reason the print isn't showing up. So, if this is really choppy...do NOT blame me, blame Blogger. I have to do another movie review soon, so that might be posted in a few hours, or a few days, or whenever the universe lets me. (my life is so chaotic!)

Rant on Awesome Weekend

OK, my weekend was good, in a few words of saying it.
Friday I had Phy-Ed (small gym this year, last year's was bigger then the science building) testing, and I pretty much failed. I sucked at everything, and so if anything I got Nationals. Ick. But I was sore, because it was harder work then I thought, and so my gut felt like someone stabbed me, and my legs were in major pain. Every cell my living body was screaming in agony as I walked through our front door.
But to top it off, I had a ton of hmk, and my sis had to ride her bike to work...and I had to come too. Mind you, I haven't ridden a bike in about a year or so. I just never had the time. So, when we rode...what 4 miles? 3 miles? to her work, my butt was added to my pain list. The ride was frightening. I've come to the realization that teenage girls have no brains at all. I was riding my bike, ok, and there are about 10 HS girls jogging in front of me. I have my ipod in, naturally, and I said excuse me, but they didn't move. I can hear my sis on her bike behind me and I have my music on full blast. So now I'm just a foot or two away from mauling them, and I say louder, "Excuse me!" FINALLY they hear me, and shriek in their annoying tones, running in every direction...including in front of me. I slam my hands on the breaks, and nearly run one or two over. They laugh, but I just kept going. I turn the corner, and there's a lady on her bike, leisurely going along...and I'm on the grass...so this lady can pass. When right as she's passing me, she swerves toward me. I instantly fall into the street just to get rid of collision, and she starts swearing at me. My rides are always this fun...

Sat--I woke up unable to move. I was as stiff as a 2-by-4. Plus, to top it off...Sat is the only day of the week I can sleep in, and being home, my dad decides to wake me up at 6 AM. Telling me I had to work outside today. I just agreed and tried to go back to bed, but couldn't fall back asleep. So, I got up and worked on my parents new garage all day. Oh, and my sis and I rode our bikes to the library. I ended the day by taking a very long shower after rolling around in the dirt and worms all day. But when I striped off my shirt, I realized with horror....that my entire back was sun-burnned beyond belief. It's peeling now.

Sun--I treated my mom out to donuts, and we didn't do anything. My mom was gone most the day, so I sat down and watched the entire 3rd season of Avatar Last Airbender after digging it out of my room. I literally just hit play all, and watched it while doing my hmk. Then that night we watched Diary Of a Wimpy Kid. I liked Freddly and the little Indian kid. I swear Freddly's gonna be a stalker when he grows up.

I have now seen just about all of Miyazaki's movies. For those who haven't...here's a list of ones you MUST see...


Spirited Away

My Neighbor Totoro

Princess Mononoke

Howl's Moving Castle

Whisper of the Heart

There's The Cat Returns, Kiki's Delivery Service and a few more, but these above are his best films...and Spirited Away is by far his best. Speaking of directors...there's another one who's caught my eye.

Mamoru Hosoda...he two films so far have become instant favorites of mine. Which are.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Summer Wars

Kazuma's by far my favorite character in Summer Wars, my sis thinks it's cuz he's so much like me. (not!)

It's Been Awhile ...

It was on that rainy day, when the train seemed to be taking forever getting to it's destination. And I was going to be late for work, again. My school uniform was soaked from the down pour, and my hair was matted to my face. My homework was wet, and my satchel was lying on the ground, making a puddle at my feet. People were talking on their cells, and others were taking naps as the loud train slowly made its way to Suncity.
Then for some reason, my reflection in the window began to form as buildings passed by. I almost didn't recognize it at first, it had been so long. Last time I saw myself, I was short, and had short bangs with big brown eyes over the band-aids on my cheeks. I was about 7. Or was it 8? Man, that was ages ago. I remember saying how much I never wanted to grow up, and saying how mean older kids were. And now I am one. Time passed by so fast I barely remember growing up. High School was a nightmare, and here I am...college, grown up, job and school. My life had gone from happy and long to short and fast. I gazed at my reflection, and stared through it. Somehow I never realized how much time had passed...I had no time to notice.
The train finally came to a stop, and I stepped off, helping an elderly woman. I thought about a lot as I walked to my next class. And by the time I got there, I pulled out my cell, and typed a number I hadn't used in a while. It rang for a moment, and the finally I heard a voice I hadn't heard in forever. I smiled briefly...it had been 6 years. A tear of joy slid down my cheek as I said almost as a whisper... "Hi, mom."

______________________________________________________

Just a short story I thought up yesterday on the train. And...it was about to rain, so it entered my mind..hope you like it.

Hmk Podcast Reflection Essay

Our podcast is one of very few words. Random. Humor. Why? Our audience is bascially open to the public as a whole, but it can be narrowed down to teenager based. Most teens (especially Hig School students) are the most assistant listeners in this procces. Teens are more receptive and find (frankly) pretty retarded things funny. Even when it comes to hurtful things, being imature, content which is imature, is hilarious. Though some of the content in our podcast is,in fact, a little imature, but the message wasn't. We meant to have fun and to random speak our minds...as a fact, we had nothing on our minds when we recorded it. As much as I wanted our audience to be more college based, I don't think it would happen. College students love random, and funny, but their funny is a little more normal then that of a High School student.
     Would our audience be interested in our podcast? To be 100% honest with you, I don't think so. It's a general podcast, and I think HS students might become bored with it, and think it "lame". College students might not even have the time to listen let alone think it humorous. It is funny, for those who get/appreciate the drift, but I don't know many people who would understand it as a whole. It's very dynamic, we're constantly being inconsistent. Going off topic, and talking about other things, and then after so long we'd go back to the original topic. It was more like taking your files and hitting "Randomize" and watch everything scatter and join together again.
     As for our next episode, I'm not exactly sure. The first topic was Ducks, but our next one might be something even more random. I'd want to do something a little more versital. Something with more edge, and expantion space. I can come up with pretty clean things, quick and fast off my tongue, but when you limit the subject, it gets a little harder. I think we need to open our front door a little more.
     In doing this, I think we should express more jokes, and more personality towards out audience. Expressing more emotion and humor into our voices and our words, telling more stories then one. If anything that I've learned during thid podcast can be laid down in one solid statement: "It's harder then it looks" When I first saw it and recorded it, it went pretty smoothly, then the editing came into play, and we had to redo the thing a bunch of times, and the ultra pain came into play. It was fun, don't take me wrong, but it's something I don't think I'll do again in the near future. My mouth can run faster then my hand, yes, but my hand can simplify things smoother then my mouth, and a lot of people might not understand the reasoning I have behind my words. This statement being "stated" I think our podcast needs a little help, and lot of polishing.

HMK Royal Wedding = Royal Pain

4.27.11 Blog entry today (or e-mail entry sent to Mr. C) The Royal Wedding is creating quite a stir around the world, and all eyes have been fixated on London for the past few weeks. Read this article http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/28/royal-wedding-world-media-monarchy as well as researching a few other articles and answer the following questions in your blog. Be sure to cite your sources, and drop some pictures in your blog entry pertaining to the wedding. What is the importance behind the Royal Wedding? Who are the main people involved? Where is the wedding being held? Why are women around the world jealous of the bride? Explain why journalists/photographers/news companies/anyones else are caught up in this wedding? Do you think the wedding is overhyped? Why/why not? What would be the ideal wedding for you? Where would you get married? Why? Please submit this by the end of class. Thanks!

I have no sources to drop....cuz if I dropped them, I might hurt somebody. :)

There is no main importance in the Royal Wedding...other then it's something sweet in our tragedy based news. The monarchy doesn't do anything, basically it's just a symbol. Showing people that there are people above them. "I'm richer then you....haha"

The main people involved are the prince and his bride. Everyone knows that.

The wedding was being held someplace in Europe. London...duh

Women are jealous of Kate because their women. Every girl dreams of a princess wedding. So seeing their dream pass away is kinda depressing...

People chose to make this wedding a huge thing..because like I said before...it's something new and innocent. Other then the serial killer who lives down the block. It's sweet and refreshing. But it's WAY over hyped.

Yes, the wedding is over hyped. I...for one, do not live in Europe. My buds.....don't live in Europe. Over 75% of the world....doesn't live in Europe. So why should a little wedding get so much publicity? You might say, well their royal! Yea, yea, so they have this certain last name...if I added that to my name, would my marriage be this huge? No. I'm equal to any prince. Any royal. They have no rights to be higher then everyone else, because every human being is equal. If it's not like that, then this world's messed up, and needs help. Plus, think of all the Indian/African/Mongolian(?) Princes out there...do you ever hear about them???

My wedding? (and this is ever happening...not) I would want a simple, cheap, family centered wedding. This will never happen, cuz my family's all over the place, and they would never join together even if it meant my life. Plus the pricess on things will only go up. (My sis is getting married, and I already see how she's gonna be broke before the marriage even happens) I might even move. To like, Japan or Australia, or something. America is losing it's grip, and I can imagine a pretty bad ending.
I would get married wherever it is I move to. Because I would.

This is hmk...and I have done it. I didn't put my full self in it, cuz it's....just not that interesting.

There you go Mr. C.

Made In China

Everything is made in China....even my candy bar I ate today. Which is great, cuz anything made in the US would make me worry.... (deep joke)

I have had an AMAZING break, and I will explain why.

Mon.--slept in....and (finally) being able to go home....I was forced to work....by cleaning the bathrooms... (over exageration)

Tues. -- See Mon.

Wed. -- The same Otaku girl came over to my house (long story short....my heart went out to her, and I sucked up my own opinion, and invited her against my will) for a sleep over. Longest 24 hours of my life... Her newest obsession (and I ..... hate to say, I got her into it by complete accident) Fullmetal Alchemists. (eyeroll) So, not only trying to keep the house in one piece, and keep the tears from falling, I had to entertain like a drugged monkey at Chili's.

Thurs. -- Same horror as Wed. Except I had to go to a very long cow show out inthe middle of no-where....for my sis. ( I lover her...but....) It smelled. Bad.

Fri. --- Had a frickin' 5 hour church service, and prep for Easter. (More house cleaning!) AND I got sick! Woot!

Sat. --- Got even more sick, and was in major pain.....my mom, seeing me more often now, asked if I ever thought about drawing portraits anymore, seeing that all that I've talked about is Project: Black. So I drew a few pics....I'll upload 'em in a bit.

Sun.-- Today, you mean? I felt a little better, ate enough candy to make me sick again. Met my bros second best friend from Africa. She's really nice, and I liked her right away. (In a good way!)

The rest in the in future...though I know what I'm going to do tomorrow....homework. Some teachers hate me and gave me a bunch of hmk to do. DX on you.

Here are the pics which I drew.....mind you they ARE quick sketches, so there not perfect...they suck. (I uploaded them on deviantart, so you cen see them there too!!!!)

CLICK PIC TO VIEW FULL SIZE

This one is bad....trust me. I did is in like 5 min.

CLICK PIC TO VIEW FULL SIZE

This one is better.....by a long shot. I did this one with about 15 min to spare. 

Yes....I do portraits. I did portraits LONG before I did manga. But I've done comics in total forever. :):):):)

Hope everyone had a great break. 

FINALLY!!! Rant on Spring Break

I thought it would never come!!!

Good news!!!!! I now have a deviantart account. And I have already posted the cover-art of Project: Black......yay!

Even though it's Spring Break....believe it or not, I'm still mucho grande stressed. (I can speak spanish!....not) Speaking of speaking spanish...O_o ...I think it's funny how people come to America (or any country) and expect us to know what their saying in their own language. At first it's humoring, then it's annoying. (look at my pet-peeves list..it's on there) I mean, I'm ok at speaking some. I can speak some French...very very very little Spanish, I know how to swear in Greek, German, Itlation, Russian, and Chinese. :) But shockingly, I used to be able to write in Arabian and a little Sanscript. Weird, but I can't remember much...

Anyway, back to ranting on my Spring Break...

Being at home can be a pain...and a blessing all at once. My bro (who's in college) already had his spring break, and is as mad as hell that I'm at home, and he's at school. XD... oAo   The thing which makes it BAD is the fact that my mom has a whole list made for me on what I'm going to do. Personally I'm busy doing nothing as it is, let alone do house chores. That's not true. I am busy...VERY busy. I've been working like the dickens to get PB (Project: Black) done...and I'm almost done with the first 10-20 pages. I'll be uploading it to my blog once once I finish just a few more pages. But needless to say, I want to relaxe, and having no due dates hovering over my head all week.

I can't TELL you how nice it was to sleep in this morning....it was ..... awesome.

ANOTHER COMMISSION PIECE!!!!
 Their names....from left to right..
Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruna
Their from Naruto...the TV series/manga. This is actually pretty crappy...I did Gaara first, and that turnned out...but then I gor lazy, and literally scribbled out the trees. (Plus I did it at 2 in the morning)

Hope you like it JF!!! (you knwo who you are)

Stealing Information

RSS feeds are constant streams of information. They are constantly being uploaded with new data and being sent to your "reader" once you subscribe to them...Now, hmk accomplished.


Anyway...moving back to Stealing Information. 
      ~ Who has suffered from this?       Anyone?      Yay! We got one!!!


I have suffered from this, and still am a little. I don't know whether it's because I'm insanely original, or because people know my weekness....or both. But I have a major problem with it. People are CONSTANTLY stealing my ideas, and the way I program. Copying how I do something, and always putting something I said or did, and say THEY did it. Kinda makes you mad, right? Yea...so everyone out there.....START BEING ORIGINAL!!!!!!! 
          The biggest one is the way I draw. I have a very distinct style, (so all teachers have told me) and I should hold it dear to me, beacuse most artists haven't found their "inner style" and I have...without knowing. That being said, quite a few people have attempted to *see* my work, and then copy it...but it never turns out. They complain to me, and say it's.....yea. People steal my titles, my story ideas, my names, my desk top cover even! Needless to day: I'm sick of it. People get angry when I don't show them stuff...(You should see people's faces when I even mention Project: Black...it's kind of disgusting) And even when they DON'T know what it is....they STILL want to copy it. I have encountered 5 people in total who have ripped Project: Black from my hands and stolen things from me....without seeing it. (I won't say names, cuz quite a few have blogs) Meaning....titles are very similar, or they "won't tell me cuz it's a secret" or they look up a few things and copy the story very very very closely. Ugh...Well, one thing's for certain. They're going nowhere but in a circle. They'll never make it anywhere other then the school campas, and that's a fact. I've worked hard for where I am, and am still working hard. I don't need tag-alongs who want nothing more but to suck me dry. Soo....message....BE ORIGINAL!!!!!
