Listening to a good song called Forever Young... Really good. Can't remember how old it is. Well, my weekend was bad but today was awesome. Really nice outside, Nice weather always cheers me up as long as I'm not burning up. I got my fan on, but still... Whew! Sure my Grandmother is glad that its warm again. She hates the cold of Winter, I'm sure everyone else hates it for her too cause when they come over they always hear "WHERE'S YOUR COAT!?"
Ahahaha, got a Easter Card from my Grandfather today, was really nice actually, made my day. Had a really cool article about a Superman comic going for 1.5 million dollars. He told me to keep collecting my comics so in 60 years they'll be 1.5 million dollars too.
20$ of that I owe to Grandma and Grandpa Phil. My Mom is reading Shakespeare... She doesn't like it. I would have to agree with her, I am not a fan of Shakespeare either. Oh man! Speaking of not a fan of something, Ebay has been making me want to scratch my eyes out.
Listen to this, does this sound resemble:
14" Marvel Icons Venom Figure
30$
40$ Shipping.
THATS STUPID! The cheapest shipping price I've found so far was 10.95, how bad is that? Well I am going to go write, I did some school work today, pretty happy about that... Need to clean my room. I will talk to you guys later.

Funny How the Past will Come back to you.
I've always funny how the past will come back to you. It could come back to haunt you, or it could come back to save you. Last night at this Comic Book Workshop, the past saved me. I've been a bit confused lately about what exactly I would be doing for a future career. Something in the Animation Arts.
So I thought about making Manga (Japanese Graphic Novels) and the downer to that is I would have to go to Japan and leave everything here behind. Not going to do that. I could go to Hollywood and make movies but thats a one in a million chance of that working out.
Last night, this guy I talked to gave me an idea for such a perfect plan. I used to do comics, I made them. Sometimes they'd be 1 page long but they were so much fun to make even though most of the time people had no idea what the picture was of but I did and thats all that mattered.
I stopped doing comics for awhile and moved onto filming after I stumbled upon my Step Father's camera. I then got into making movies, something I loved. I was typically making movies with figures, cause at the time I had no friends to make movies with.
That went on for awhile and I still make them today but if I did them for myself like before I probable wouldn't be making them anymore. I do them cause people support my movies and I owe a lot to the 200 and something odd number of people who watch my videos and subscribe to me.
But Comics just sort of faded away. I stopped reading them, stopped paying any attention to them. Then this class roles around and I of course am very agervated with where my drawing skills have gone.
So this guy comes over to help another kid next to me and the kid just does NOT want to do anything except make stuff out of paper. Which was fine but then he asked me how I was doing with the 2 page comic we were assigned to do.
I was trying to think of an idea and being a writer for such a long time I couldn't think of any ideas off the top of my head. I'm not good at improv, so this guy did the drawing while I told him what could happen and we chatted about Animation and Comics and he gave me a idea of what I'd liked to do.
Its sort of like, whats that story with the three bears? Goldy Locks! Probable spelt that wrong, Goldy Locks yes. First one: Going to Japan was a dream I could go for but it would lead me into a country that I wouldn't fit into. Second one: Was Impossible cause Hollywood is so closed off to SKILLED writers and just want pop culture.
But this plan gives me the oppurtunity to go back to Ohio and write from there like I always wanted to do. I can take a part time job somewhere and while I do that, see if I can get some Comics published, then after that I can look at some animation jobs. See if I can write some shows for some people. Which will lead me into the exact spot I want to be which is in an animation studio working on shows like Batman like I've always wanted to. Of course I gotta get through college before I do that.
I'm pretty happy, Step #1 Survive School Step
#2 Survive College
#3 Make enough money to support myself in Ohio.
#4 Begin work on a story
#5 Find a publisher
#6 Make the comic.
#7 Get it published
#8 Continue Publishing Comics till my name is somewhat heard of in the Comic Book Community
#9 Check out some studios that need a writer or animator.
#9 Hopefully, God help me, I get into a studio
#10 Make shows of my own and become widely known in the animation department.
#11 Give my Grandmother and Grandpa Phil the $20 they want
#12 Die a happy man
Thats what I'm going to do... (Believe it). Hahhahaha, and if I fail I get right back up and try again. Thats what I'm going to do, watch me world. Anyways, now that I am done being full of myself which isn't a good thing, I shall be rapping up this blog.
Thanks for reading,

Sick as a Dog?
I'm sick, I took some medicine... Went to sleep and woke up 3 hours later barely able to breathe seeings how my nose is plugged up. I sat here in my chair, working on some Japanese homework and I was thinking, where did the phrase "Sick as a dog" come from. My dog is rarely sick. I don't understand the logic of that phrase.
I was also just thinking about that song "London bridge is falling down." Remember how little kids sing that? Who made that up for kids? Isn't that kind of weird to sing about. Shall we sing about a bridge collapsing and people dying? Alright then! Here we go!
I am crazy, isolation is never a bad thing. I am glad I chose it over school. I actually have time to think about things. When your in school you can't think, your thinking about your studies, your friends and your family. When your home schooled, you really grow an interesting personality.
I wonder what I would be like if I was born in the 40s or 30s. I always have wanted to go back to those times... Sure a lot of bad stuff happened but its better then this time.
I don't know, I don't fit in with this time. Todays St. Patricks Day, its also Wensday. So I have church tonight, if someone tries to pinch my nose, god help me. I have Japanese too. Which is fantastic. My nose is stuffed up so its going to be REALLY hard to say stuff.
Got a list of things I need to save up for:
Fraps (Movie thing) $37
Bioshock 2 (Game) $60
Perfect Dark (Game) $?
But yea thats what I got planed. I also am going to see if I can get the entire Teen Titans series. That'd be nice... Really wish I could get un - sick so I can get back on my studies. I'M KNOCKING MY STUDIES OUT OF THE PARK THOUGH! Before I got sick anyway...
Writing my stories and working on my movies as well. Hope I can get somewhere with this. I would love to do animation or something like that. Well I think I am going to lye down for a little bit. I feel horrible. Anyways see ya guys later!

I'm back... Doing Blogs.
Well decided to Blog again, I really hate to Blog cause some times there seems to be no point to it, I enjoy talking about my life with someone actually there, right next to me. Who can give me some advice and so forth.
So It's March 13th,Saturday, Good morning, even though it's 12:12 midnight. I am watching my favorite show Avatar The Last Airbender. I am planning to go to my Grandmothers tomorrow night. Got to e - mail her about that, I can actually concentrate over there on studying.
Lots of studying to do, got a big Exam thing in April, at the end of April I have to take a test to see where I am at in all my subject, Wordly Wise, Grammar, History, and of course the worst of the worst... Math.
So yea... Really worried about that. If I fail, I could be sent back to school. Which is no bueno cause well I can't follow a Teacher. It's easier just to teach myself, and I can barely stand the people my Sister brings over so I couldn't imagine why I would enjoy the people at a school. God... Thats Prison.
Me, cooperating with other human beings... Thats horrible. Plus even if I do enjoy the people who are there which is one and a million that I will, then I will be changed into your average zombie.
THATS WHAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DOES TO YOU! You just don't know it... I have learned a million more lessons sitting in my room then I have sitting in a prison listening to a teacher who doesn't know what he is talking about.
I could go on about School systems forever, well I am going to try to go to sleep. I probable won't get to sleep but anyways good night.
