Well good christ it's been a while. I'm back now...and I've got a post for ya'll to read.
In my absense, I've started my own comic book site. Trinity Comics to be exact. I originally did it to feature a story that I had written called Final Haven, but it's become so much more then that. Now it's home to 9 stories, and is quickly growing. Yeah, you can even see a pic of me on the site under the writers page.

That's been the biggest thing for me. I'm heading to the Wizard World convention at the end of this month in Philly, and I'll be handing out flyers and business cards to any and all that are interested. A buddy of mine that lives out near San Diego, CA has already begun promoting the site out there. Likewise, others in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mexico, and even over seas in France, and Ireland have begun promoting it as well. My ultimate goal is to turn it into a real comic company, publishing our own issues. In the meantime though, I've already branched the company off to spur yet another, Trinity Productions. It's an indie film company, and the first movie that we're thinking of making would be for the story that I've written, Final Have 2. I've got to buckle down and hammer out a script, but since movie scripts and comic scripts are pretty close to being the same, it should be easy for me to do it. We're hoping to film during the summer....but we may push back to the fall, just so people aren't sweating to death during the filming. The only roadblock we've run into is filming scenes that were to take place in Rome (one of the characters in the movie resides there, and a pivitol part of the story takes place there). We were thinking about using something in southern MD, since it's open lands, and we'd basically just have to build the shell of a house for the filming.
The casting for the movie is also another mix up. The way the characters are described in the book, and the way they'll look on film is a bitch. I've got a few people in mind for the parts, but for the female parts, I was hoping that I'd be able to net a few of the girls of SG for them. No nudity (sorry guys), but some of the girls just fit the look that I'm looking for for those parts.
Outside of Trinity, I'm up for a promotion at work, which I'm slowly managing to fuck my chances up at getting it. I've entered my zombie mode (a week and a half of mono-like symptoms that occur due to me not sleeping). In that course of time, I've opened the store late 3 times already, and the managers (all of which are new), aren't too happy about that. I've got to rearrange my schedule so that I don't fuck myself over anymore. Oh well, I'm close to quitting the fucking job anyway. Most of the old staff is gone, minus me and two others, and the new people are borderline assholes. The new manager has his own way of doing shit, but I've been there 2 years now, and I'm not changing how I do things. Fuck'em. They don't pay me enough. Until they start dropping $12 an hour in my pocket (which is what the new, underqualified asst. manager makes now), I'm gonna continue to do shit the way I want. They want an asst. manager that'll go against the grain. Well, how it stands now, there's no one better suited for it then me. But the current manager is gay (and please don't take offense to any of this if you are gay/lesbien), and only seems to want to hire other gays. Now I don't have a problem with gay/lesbien people. I support their beliefs 100%, but to bias all the qualified applicants, because they're not "gay", is fucking redicilous. I've had a line up of 15 people, all very qualified to fill the open positions, and the manager turns them away because they're "not to his liking". I'm sorry, I didn't know that the job place was suddenly a place to meet your future fuck buddies. Assholes. If I could, I'd quit tomorrow, by my motorcycle with the money coming to me, and leave the fucking state, cause at this point, PA is nothing but a shit hole waiting to be sucked back into the earth. Friends of mine can't find work, cause it's just not there for them cause we have people from the over crowded city of philadelphia pouring into the suburbs stealing the jobs that the people that actually fucking live there try and get. Which is why most of my friends are unemployed. Cause there's always someone willing to do the job cheaper.
So now I sit back, and laugh until election time, because Kerry's going to win. Fuck Bush. What did he ever do for us? Under his reign, our unemployment rate has risen to record highs, we've destroyed a country because we "thought" they had weapons that were dangerous to us, but in all actuality, he was just finishing up what his father started. Gimme Clinton back. At least he was smart. He focused on us first. So what if he fucked his intern. He's human. But our unemployment rates were at all time lows, we were at a mutual peace with most of the world, and there weren't any threats of terrorist attacks (not like we have now).
Fuck the government. Fuck politics. Fuck spencer gifts. Fuck it all. I'm gonna hop on my motorcycle, and ride till my legs fall off, cause this country isn't worth standing up for at the moment, nor is my job. So they can take it all and shove it up their asses.
Ahh....now that I'm done my ranting, I apologize if any of you were offended by any of it. It wasn't directed at you. Just the people I work for, and are governed by.
But I think that's all for now. I'm sure there's other shit I'll think of, but right now I've got work to do.
Till next time,
Wolfman

I'm only going to be in Philly for less than two weeks. Getting the hell out of here. Thanks for the invite though. I hope to be enjoying the night scene much much more in the near future.
