Metamorphosis has taken place.
*****
I will never log into this account again. I've registered a new journal, in which I will post only important things that need to be read. It will also be friends-only. Content will follow eventually. There is a lot we can learn from turtles.

Last night, acclaimed author and comics artist Scott McCloud gave a talk at my school. It was awesome. He is an incredibly intuitive and creative man. He showed us several comics and explained their significance. I don't want to talk too much about it, but if you're interested in literature or comics at all I recommend you pick up his book Understanding Comics and check out ZOT! his online comic.
also, please look at this awesome comic:

Some things I've been meaning to look up online:
http://www.biomedrealty.com/property_landmark.asp#
The Landmark at Eastview is a truly enormous monolith of a building. You can't really see from these pictures, but it is a towering structure that crosses Old Saw Mill River Road. I drive under it every week on the way to take a sample from the river near the MSG training facility down the road from it.
The chance of being struck by lightning is approximately 576,000 to 1 and the chance of actually being killed by lightning is approximately 2,320,000 to 1.

I'm terrified of the solo. From Wikipedia: "...some even comparing it to "Jordan"or "Six" which are considered to be the most difficult tracks of the whole series." I bet it's harder than Jordan, because there's no easy intro thingy to build up star power. Speaking of which, Jordan is really hard...for most people.

I just beat Twilight Princess. That was the most epic game I have ever played. What can I possibly follow that up with? Shit, why doesn't Metroid come out until August?!? Ugh. Come on Nintendo, step it up! |

I watched a bunch of episodes of Smallville this morning. It is starting to suck.
Dan came over with his girlfriend. She is very nice.
I went to see 28 weeks later with Landies and Sam and Zack. Skip it.
If you'd like to hear my first attempt to record myself playing the guitar, follow the link:

I dropped the pick halfway through. You can tell, wen I mess up.
KELLY CLARKSON OR GTFO. |

| Oh, Aquaman |
[May. 15th, 2007|07:47 pm] |
AQUAMAN,
KING OF THE SEVEN SEAS,
HAS FUCKING HAD IT
WITH YOU, MAN.
BY GLEN WELDON
- - - -
First off, I don't talk to them. OK?
That's, like, the first thing. Let's start there.
It's not like I'm all, Hey, Peter Pufferfish, what's up? and he's all, Yo, nothing much, brah.
It doesn't work like that, all right? I mean, most of them don't even have brains, for one thing. They have maybe a bump at one end of their spinal cord, a pimply little swelling of ganglia, if they're lucky.
Language is not a looming issue, is what I'm saying.
No, how it works is: I command them. Period, the end. Command, as in bend them to, you know, my will and whatnot. Fuckin' A.
Even the ones with actual for-real brains, the cetaceans. If I want, you know, a pod of Burmeister's porpoise to ram the hell out of Black Manta's Manta Sub, that shit gets done. If I totally want, like, a southern minke whale to go hump a giant squid (its most hated enemy, by the way), I just go doodoodoodoodoodoo and it's like Show World down there. Not that I would, because, you know, gross, but I'm just saying: I don't ask. I'm not going to be all, If you wouldn't mind terribly much, please, Mr. Southern Minke Whale, go get your nasty freak on with that giant squid.
Just, you know, FYI.
And it's not training. I read that on some blog: "He just trains them to do all that."
Dude, I can get 6 million krill to gunk up the engine of a getaway ship by having them hurl themselves up the intake jets. Mass sea-monkey suicide. OK? Try that shit with operant conditioning, with some big-titted blondie waggling a smelt, see what you get. Think they're meting out kick-ass sea justice over at Epcot? Shyeah.
But everyone takes their shot. Fucking YouTube and shit. Cartoon Network. Suddenly every hacky comic's got a tight five-minute chunk on lame old Aquaman. "Haw haw haw, he's so laaaaame, hee hee hee, go talk to a guppy!"
It's all good. Somehow I manage to suffer through it. I soldier bravely the fuck on, comforted only by the small but telling fact that I'm absolute goddamn ruler of—what was it again?—oh, yeah: the EARTH.
The PLANET.
And you, you're, like, star of open-mike night at the Mirth Shack in Jacksonville. And your MySpace blog? OMG! ROTFLMAO!
You used to be cool, man.
When you were a kid, you'd sit at the bottom of the Stupaks' pool, remember? Used to sit there and pretend the kickboard between your knees was Storm the Giant Seahorse, and you'd stay under for as long as you could, going doodoodoodoodoodoo.
Remember there was that orange T-shirt you had? Remember that? That was cool.
You sure seemed like a happy little kid.
But, you know, I get it. Whatever, that was a long time ago. Now you're all, Wonder Woman never even let him fly her plaaaane, and whatnot. And that's, you know, fine.
I could command you. You, those Robot Chicken assholes, alla y'all. Command you all to, you know, quit it.
I don't make, like, a big deal about that, but I could. You're just a fish at heart, dude. Down deep in your forebrain. I fuckin' could.
But I won't. That's not how I roll. I'm a hero. Plus, I'm King of the Seven Seas, so, you know, I got shit to do, right?
No, it's fine. You rock on with your bad self, dude. Mazel tov.
Seriously, though, leave my lady out of it. That's not cool, man. Mera, she doesn't get it like I do. She's sensitive. I start hearing you talking shit about her, or her hard-water powers, or that time she turned evil, and I will fuck your shit up. Count on it. |
