alright, so I'm not entirely sure what happened tonight, I'll recount the facts as I know them and we'll see what you, my esteemed advisors, can make of the situation.
as you'll recall, last week, i inexplicably approached and spoke with a girl i had been quite taken with for the better part of the night. our encounter ended with her asking if i'd return...

tonight was an incredible workout. it didn't feel like it, but afterwards, everything in my body felt right and alive and surging with graphic-arts-wizard-martial-arts-passionate-boy madness. i wish i could train every day...
i was working the bag the other night at competition team training and i felt so good, so powerful and fast. i hurt my feet pretty bad from kicking the bag so hard,...

oh man. sorry about being so lame with SG.
its just been a tiring few weeks. GREAT but, very tiring.
tattoo is fine, the boy and i are great, and i've been swimming alot.
being broke sucks. i'm technically broke because i'm saving for my car. but i guess thats self inflicted.
i dont have a design degree or any of that sweetness, but i'd love to pretend i have a black belt. or atleast come to your sweet dojo.

Damn you! I can't believe you're missing cabaret night. But I suppose a previously-agreed-to friend's party is an OK excuse...though I would have prefered to hear that you had to retreat to a secret lair somewhere and begin developing some Dr. Octopus-esqe mechanical tentacles. Except ones that would, you know, save the world rather than seek to destroy it.
okay then, enough of those bloody great long journal entries...
a little while ago two of my best friends and favorite artists came to my studio to cheer me up (this was, shortly after the heartbreaker heartbroke me and while before i moved my professional life from my studio back to my bedroom). the friends are nick and peter. i met them my freshman year...

Angry, then do not pick up the Ultimate Xmen because they are seriously fucking with Sinister and Apocalypse!! They ahd done GREAT until now! Makes what ultimate spoiderman did to vemon look good.
Thanks for everyone's advice, you are all awesomeness with icing on top.

whats up? we havent talked much in recent. how've you been?
kickboxer:
TKD and Kickboxing are so different that it's hard to compare the two. I don't have much knowledge of TKD but I have spoken to some people in my class who used to take it. They all seems to have a few remarks in general.
1) Kickboxing is a more formidable street fighting practice.
2) Kickboxing is faster.
3) Kickboxing requires much less finess that TKD.
4) Kickboxing is good for fighters who have natural H2H combat skill, where as TKD requires more preparation.
Here's what I say: Find a club nearby and try it out for a few months. It'll probably bore you for the first while because really in KB it's endurance, strength, and speed that matter more than technique - so alot fo clubs just focus on conditioning (which you'd already have). Once you start sparring I think you'll love it. It's fast and hard hitting. There's never a "right" or a "wrong" way to block something - if you've avoided getting hit, than good for you
Alot of people think kick boxing is 1/2 kicks and 1/2 punches. That's not really true. Unless someone is 4+ inches taller/shorter than you the match will probably consist of very few kicks. Instead it will be a rather intense boxing round.
Anyways, if ya wanna know more - drop me a line.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

LAST NIGHT, I REEKED OF AWESOMENESS (and boy-sweat, but mostly awesomeness).
I went dancing at Manray tonight and for the first time in recent memory (probably in a few years) when faced with a girl so interesting and attractive to me that I literally followed her around the club to watch her dance, I did the unthinkable...
I WENT UP AND TALKED TO HER.

But how would she know yet?
I say just chill out talk have fun.
But she obviously thinks yer nice and fun since she said she wants to hear the rest of the story and said to feel free to talks to her.
I say just be friends get to know eachother and have fun.

I say just have fun.

no problem in the PWEI...i'll have to dig a bit for the Sister Soleil cds though...it's been a while. glad you had yourself some fun...and talked to a GIRL!!!!! from your description, it sounds like she's single and a little shy (or maybe wary), but probably interested...it's all in your court now!
sleepy as fuck.
add up the hours i slept before work this week and i got maybe two nights worth of sleep.
i wasn't built for the nine to five world.
i'm an artist.
my fuel is pure graphic fury.

.. and your journal entry instantly put the song "It's Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World)" by the Ramones into my head.. Now, I'm gonna have to go listen to Pleasent Dreams.
Take care, man.
Take care, man.

this is a good point. i could write novellas to each of the people i addressed in such short form, but it's interesting to try and condense it, i think.
anybody remember my "pieces of april" journal entry? well, i just watched a movie i'd been meaning to rent for over a year and a half called "my first mister" with albert brooks, leelee sobieski, micheal mckean, carol kane, and john goodman (the last three weren't mentioned on the front of the box or i would've rented over a year and a half ago). anyway,...

Wow I'd LOVE to see the Adicts. I really enjoy their live c.d with Vice Squad. I can't believe they are still touring..good for them.
Stiff Little Fingers would be great to see too.
hmm...did I already reply and say all this....

Prince of Darkness scared the shit out of me when I was younger (about 14?), and Mouth of Madness was really creepy for a while but the ending dropped the ball. The weird thing about this film when I first saw it in the theater was that for the first 10-15 minutes the sound was out of sync. We didn't know if that was supposed to be part of the film because it seemed appropriately strange.
i'm gonna try going to bed before 1am tonight. i was an hour and a half late for work today. that is 22.50 less in my paycheck on friday, that is 1/2 of the amount i spend on groceries each week (or the next volume of The Maxx collected editions). This shit has gotta stop, so I bought a second alarm clock today, I'm hoping...

gasmaskboy was right about the Skinny Puppy song...i had a brain spasm and forgot that they played it. ah well...
and sorry you missed the chocolate apocalypse!
and sorry you missed the chocolate apocalypse!
so, lets see: skinny puppy were mothafuckin' amazing. not just amazing, or fucking amazing, but mothafuckin' amazing! were tallking fake blood, pounding industrial sounds, incredible visuals and performances, an all around good time. it felt like a mortal sin to part with this much cash for a show, but they really were worth 22 dollars (the 4 dollars i paid for a bottle of water...

Trying to remember what visual props went with what songs... could be wrong here, but I think it was either "Tin Omen" or "Worlock". Either way, they're both on the same cd, "Rabies". Tin Omen opens up with a kind of guitar loop, and a vocal sample saying "all good people are asleep and dreaming", and has a really cool noise break in the middle with stuttering punk rock drums. Worlock is slower, and, dare I say it, prettier musically. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the show, and thanks for the compliments on my review!
2coolforschool:
Rock dude. Glad to see the show wasnt a bust.
coke, alcohol, cigarettes,... and now pot.
quit the rest for the most part. I had a drink last night but it is different when you have a beer vs. a bottle and a half of wine. Yeah. that went well with the gram. and the pack of cigs....
see how they all interlace except the last?
probably why I have not rid myself of it.
Hey, you asked.
~the angel*
you should just move out here now. I am in love with your innocence, or the seemingly naive way your write....
you are so cute!
