This may not be exciting to you lot, but hell, I hit 3000 page views today!

Go. Me.

I can't believe it's been over a year since I wrote in here.

Since then, I've put a few pieces in here but not as much as I'd have liked to. I love to create and it's sad that it's taken a back seat to working and school.

I'm attempting to break out of that rut though. I've been playing with acrylics lately, as you can see by a few of my deviations, and I have a few comic scripts lined up that'll hopefully be turned visual for all of your viewing pleasure.

Don't give up on me, stay tuned, you're bound to see some fun stuff soon!

Oh, and by the way, thank you.

Jesus Christ, you guys!

Way to remind me that I haven't done anything on here in like 57 years! I mean, I'm sure you were probably just respecting the fact that I might be busy or something, but come on now! Who does that? You should be demanding my presence! I mean, all I'm doing is going to school, working, keeping our apartment clean and spending whatever time is left with my beautiful wife, but that stuff isn't nearly as important as deviantart!

Seriously, though.

How is everyone?

Schools going good so far. Since I'm not used to it and managing my time appropreately, it kind of backed up on me in the first little bit here, so I've just been trying to catch up. Hopefully once I catch up, I have some time to whip out a comic or two, but only after we move to a new two bedroom with a bigger kitchen within the next week or so.

Busy busy!

I've got cleaning and homework to do all day today, and tomorrow we're going to a college basketball game (GO IU!) and then watching the Superbowl after, so provided I don't have too much work this week, maybe I'll surprise you crazy sunsabitches with some funny.

Peace!

I've decided that our hobbit friend Frodo Baggins' name should have been pronounced differently.

As of right now, his name is pronounced as you all know it, Fro-dough, which sure, thats a name you'd name your boat after, or in a fitting case, some LOTR themed cookies, but if J.R.R. Tolkien was a tad more clever, he'd have thought to pronounce it as it's spelt: Fro-do (Fro-dew.)

Now, I say clever because there is a point in the story of the Lord of the Rings where Frodo begins to succumb to the powers of the one ring. He begins to transform into a darker, more evil Frodo, and unlike Smeagol, who ends up going by Gollum once his own transformation took place, Frodo wasn't blessed with his own evil moniker. Sure, he didn't make a full transformation, but I feel like I was ripped off, just a little bit, and thats because Sam never got a chance to pull off the perfect pun in telling Frodew that he's turning into a Frodon't. Then we'd all have a good laugh and get to learn a little lesson on how you shouldn't have to change who you are to fit in and that if Sauron couldn't accept who Frodo really was, then he wasn't worth it.

You know?

Plus, with a name like Fro-dew, he could have played a cameo in a Mountain Dew commercial, because let's face it, as adorable as the Pillsbury doughboy is, It'd be a lot more fun to chase down a cheetah on a BMX than poke an anthropomorphic mound of dough just to hear it giggle.

Hoo-hoo!

I'm like, a pie, man.
I have layers.
Upper and lower crust with a bunch of ooey gooey goodness inside.
Seriously though, you actually can't have any.

In other non-anthropomorphic pastry related news I started at my first american money making job!
It's a part-time stocking job at a Home Depotesque hardware store called Menards, the difference being that Menards is still a family owned business, even though it spans over 200 stores across the midwest.

IMPRESSIVE.

I stock shelves from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. which will be perfect for when I start school in January, as my wife and I made sure my school day doesnt start till 10. I'd never worked a part-time job before cause I was always landing full-time ones since I wasn't in school, and I've gotta say, although you make half the money you could be making, it's a pretty amazing thing only spending one-sixth of your day doing something you don't particularly care to do. I forsee myself keeping this job all the way through college since all the little things about it are pretty perfect, like:

+ a raise every 6 months
+ being able to take time off at the last minute
+ it's pretty much right next to our apartment
+ a 10% discount, which will come in very handy for people who love home decorating and being crafty
+ monday to friday, no weekends, ever!

Theres a lot more, but I can't think of them right now.

I'm just hoping that come school starting I wont be completly drained, but my schedule, although being full time, is pretty condensed to where I don't start class till monday night, and I have fridays off, and the only really packed day is wednesday. I'll just have to make sure to shed my knack for procrastination and get all of my school work done regularly so I don't bring myself to a point of exhaustion near the end of terms.

It's gonna be hard though becasue I have a wife whos arms are pretty hard to resist curling up into! I'm sure she'll be good and busy crafting it up, so she won't feel too neglected.

By the way, my first term is Intermediate Algebra, Spanish, English Composition, American Government and Politics and Music Theory, which to be completely honest, I'm excited about all of it.

I'm a nerd, I know.

It's just that, I'm really excited to fill up my brain with stuff I didn't care to know when I was in highschool becasue I have this lack of confidence that I know is going to subside as I learn more and more because a lot of it has to do with being 23 and not feeling very intelligent academically. I don't regret pushing it all aside in highschool, because I spent my time learning other things that have helped me get to the point of maturity I'm at now, but I don't like feeling so ignorant when it comes to all there is to know in the world.

So bring it on!
