B. O. R. D.

I am on vacation right now and I am bored out of my mind!

Even writing this blog is super boring.

I don’t want to make art.

I don’t want to work on the Star Wars game.

I don’t want to lay video games.

I don’t want to watch T.V.

I don’t want to watch a movie.

I don’t want to sleep.

I’m not hungry.

I don’t want to read. Not even comics.

I don’t want to draw.

BORED!

I love Star Wars

Yes. Its true. I really do. I don’t think there is anything I hate about Star Wars. Well, except for the new song and dance number in Episode VI but that is easily bypassed.

I even love the new 3 movies, The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith. Yes. Its true. Call me what you will, I think they are awesome! In fact here is how I would rank all of the movies in order from most favorite to least.

1) Revenge of the Sith

2) Return of the Jedi

3) Empire Strike Back

4) The Clone Wars

5) A New Hope

6) The Clone Wars

Now, let me explain myself. First, Revenge of the Sith. This movie is AWESOME. There is no if, and, or but about it, this movie is the epitome of what I think Star Wars is. Therefore it is extremely successful in the enjoyment I get out of it. Even the shitty scene between Anakin and Padme that is horribly acted, I don’t care, that is Star Wars.

Second, Return of the Jedi. Now it could be my nostalgia for the only movie of the original trilogy that I saw in the theater as a kid but I don’t think so. This movie also fits what I feel Star Wars is. Not to mention the best space battle out of the ENTIRE saga and at that time the best lightsaber battle out of the trilogy. Though Luke and Vader in Empire is close. Oh, and speeder bikes!!?? Hello! Are those not totally awesome! I used to want one sooooo bad as a kid, who am I kidding, I still want one really bad! And all the hate directed toward the Ewoks. Really? Come on. For real, were they really THAT detrimental to the movie? I didn’t think so.

Third, Empire Strike Back. I don’t think I even need to say anything about this movie. I think its safe to say everyone loves it. But here is why its in my third place spot. The thing that makes this movie for me is that you get a real feel for the way life is in the rebellion. That they are the ones really struggling to make a difference and you really pull together for them. You also see that the galaxy has that lived in sort of feel that George really wanted to convey. That everything isn’t all new and shiny but rugged and frontiers like. Plus it is a really well constructed film. But I just don’t enjoy watching it as much as I do Jedi or Sith.

Fourth, The Clone Wars. Aside from Annoyakin and boring Padme this movie is pretty awesome too. You have Jedi doing their thing, Jango Fett being a badass, and Count Dooku and his cool evil self. Plus you get to see Obi Wan being the awesomeness that he is. Because all you see of him in the OT is a non-athletic old man. This movie is all around fun!

Fifth, A New Hope. I’ve never liked this movie. The only reasons its not last is because Luke is only SLIGHTLY more tolerable than Jar Jar, nostalgia, and it did kind of cement me into being a SW fan in the first place. But thats it! I can’t stand this movie. I think its boring, poorly acted throughout the entire movie instead of just in pockets like the newer movies. Although it could just be the shitty directing job of Geroge. And GOD DAMMIT I want to stab Mark Hamill in the face eveytime he says his lines! He is really the worst part of this movie for me I think. Yeah, I like all the humor and the camaraderie between the actors thats good, but the rest sucks.

Sixth The Phantom Menace. I think every reason to hate this movie has already been said by everyone else. Its only saving graces, Palpatine, Obi Wan, and of course Darth Maul. How fucking badass is Darth Maul!!?? Of course he got punked by Obi Wan, who didn’t see that coming? But still he was fucking tough looking as shit! And all badass looking after killing Qui Gon. This movie almost beats out A New Hope based strictly on Darth Mauls badass rep.!

So thats it. I should mention that I watch at least one of these movies a day. So I think I have now seen all of the New Triology movies at least 30 times by now. The OT is waaaaay more than that. I think I watch the entire trilogy at least 3 times a month.

Its also not confined to the movies.  Anything Star Wars related I can’t get enough.  Especially the comics!  Christ could they be any awesomer?  Then there is the roleplaying game!  Like I couldn’t get enough detailed information about Star WArs and they have to make a roleplaying game?  Yes please!  The only thing I’m not really into are the novels and Star Wars Lego.  I don’t know why.  You would think the novels wouldn’t be that far removed from the comics but there is just, I don’t know, too much investment in that or something.  And Star Wars lego, I mean the video game.  I love the actual legos but not the game.  Its too corny for me I think.  Not that I am all serious business about Star Wars just, I don’t know, its already corny enough.  I’m not that into the action figures either but thats a whole other story.  I think being dedicated to the RPG is bad enough.  I don’t need to throw action figures into the mess.

So, what else.  The new Clone Wars cartoon.  Awesome!  But a little blown out of proportion with all the stuff the Jedi can do.  I am super excited for the live action TV show.  Damn I can’t wait for that!  I will get cable just for that.  (Or if they ever had an ALIEN tv show.  I wonder if that idea has been pitched?)

Anyway, so yeah,

I love Star Wars

I think I might be cursed

So, now the girl that I have been on a couple of dates with, her grandmother is sick.

For real this is really, REALLY starting to freak me out.  First, one girls friends turns up dead, then another girl’s grandfather, now this girls grandmother!

This is too much to be a coincidence and I am doing what I can not to freak out.

Maybe I am overreacting.  I don’t know.  Its totally weird though.

So easily stressed out.

I can’t stop being a worrier for some reason.  As long as I can remember I’ve always worried about stuff.  Some things stress me out more than others but it seems I am always concerned with something on my mind.

I guess it would be boring if I didn’t have anything to think about or so many different projects going on.  I think thats it.  I suddenly have a lot of stuff going on.  Its kind of cool that I’m into all this stuff but stressing about more than one thing at a time sucks.

I need to meditate or something.

Some guys have all the luck…

Apparently thats not me.

It seems as if the old ways of my dating life are back. Here we go.

First I meet a girl, fall too fast, she lies and breaks up with me and breaks my heart in teh process.

Then I meet another girl and when we are to hang out a friend of hers hs passed away and she just wants to be friends.

Then things are lookig up as I get 2 dates but alas, one girl’s grandfather passed away and the other is sick.

No dates for me.

This is how things were for about as long as I can remember with the exception of a long relationship and about, maybe 3 years.

I’m not saying its the end of the world just that I find it strange that it is happening again.

The death of loved ones really freaks me out though. Thats too weird of a coincidence.

Oh well.

My most favoritest song ever!

Modern English’s Melt With You

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
You’ve seen the difference and
It’s getting better all the time
There’s nothing you and I won’t do
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending a race that long gone by
(I’ll stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(I’ll stop the world)
You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
(Let’s stop the world)
There’s nothing you and I won’t do
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
The future’s open wide
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ve seen some changes but it’s getting better all the time
(Let’s stop the world)
There’s nothing you and I won’t do
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
The future’s open wide
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let’s stop the world)
You’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time
(Let’s stop the world)
There’s nothing you and I won’t do
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you
(Let’s stop the world)
I’ll stop the world and melt with you…

Soooo good.

Because you want to know whats going on with me…

So, lets see…

I’ve been busy with Dave’s show, making the post cards, handing them out, picking out the pieces for the show, now we have to make copies and hang it.  Then get the food and set up everything else.  Ugh.

I finally got Artifice out into the world again.  I think this time around its going to be great.  The layout is already infinitely better  than it was.

Next project is the book about my friend Mark who passed away last year.  The book is going to be a kids book so that Angie can read it to their son Miles.  I am really nervous about drawing Mark.  I’m afraid all I’m gonna do is cry when I do it.  But I really want to do it and do it right.  Dave is gonna have to help with backgrounds and colors and stuff.

Frank has been kinda sick.  His glucose levels have been off so I ahve had to cut back his insulin from 5 units to 2 – 3.  He got sick on 3 but I’m not sure if it was a fluke or not.  Plus I just put him on this new food for diabetic cats which is another part of the reason I’ve had to cut back.  This food should help him stay at a better level throughout the day instead of being up and down all the time.  Poor kitty.  I think he’ll be alright.  Its scary though, he is 18 years old and I can’t help but think “This is it!” every time he gets sick.   Stressing.

Other than that things have been pretty great.  I am starting to manage my money better so that I actually have money AND can pay my bills AND I won’t have any more credit card debt after December or January.  Thank god!!!!  Stupid money.  Mommy is supposed to buy me a car also, well, I am going to use her credit for the car and I’ll make the payments.  I’m going to try to talk her into buying me an old 1958 -59 ford station wagon.  I’m thinking I can find one for 3 – 4,000 and in decent shape.  Oh man!  How sweet it will be if I get my dream car!  I think she wants to get me a Ford Tarus though.  Blah!  Lame.  At least its a Ford.  Shut up I freaking loooove Ford cars!  Hondas are great too but they aren’t as cools as an old 50’s Ford with a custom 357.

On the ladies front, there are a few prospects.  Maybe 3, maybe just one.  Its all up in the air and really rather annoying cause I hate having to be like, I choo, choo, chooooooooose… YOU!  Thats not cool.  But I guess thats what dating is about.  Play the field so to speak.  Girls!  Why are you ladies soooo damn attractive yet sooo much trouble!?  And why are guys sooo dumb and fall for it everytime!?  Oh well.  I guess we’ll see what happens.

Health wise, I’ve been feeling light headed lately but I have been more active.  Every morning right out of bed after turning off the alarm I roll onto the floor and do push ups.  I need to get in shape because I should be able to between 20 and 30 and right now I’m at 10.  Weak.  This coupled with cycling everywhere and changing my diet I think is what is giving me the wooziness.  I think I want to throw some crunches into the mix to work off my belly before it gets any larger or to at least give it some definition.  My typical day of meals have been, oj and vitamin before I leave the house, a cup of green tea and instant oatmeal when I get to work, a banana snack, turkey on wheat with lettuce and cheese and chips for lunch, then nachos or pasta and vegetables for dinner.  I need to throw another snack in there between lunch and dinner, I got some almonds.  Speaking of, I’m gonna eat some now!  Mmmmm, almonds are sooo good.  I’m also gonna try to start going to bed at 11 and getting up at 7 everyday except Friday and Saturday.  I am really trying to get 8 hours of sleep everyday and if not then make it up on the weekends.  Wow!  I’ve become a health nut!

Well, I think thats it for now.  Myspace is still crack.  I can’t kick the habit.

This video is weird.

This song is actually pretty good.

Sooooo funny!
