Happy birthday to me (yesterday)

Yesterday was my birthday and I got a new graphics tablet for my computer. I asked the general (Facebook) public what I should draw with it and got this request from my good friend Spookyboots:

"Me standing over your cold lifeless corpse. Happy birthday because it's going to be your last."

So, here you go asshole-

UPDATE! No one gives a shit!

Did you catch the reference in the title? I know I did!

The costume is coming along, not counting the proton pack and trap I'm about 75% done. I just need to pick up and make a couple more things. I'm very excited to get to scratch that off the list. I'm not very excited to deal with making the proton pack....but I know once I get started it'll be a project of love rather than labor. The labor will come in when I start making three to four more of the damn things for our project. A quick update on our fan project, we've shifted from a movie to a webseries. As I'm sure I've mentioned or probably didn't, we hate fan films. Most if not everyone involved in the project has a great disdain for fan films, while many we've watched have started off strong and are quiet enjoyable by the second half they tend to lose that steam. A lot of this has to do with pacing, it begins to wind down and become nothing but a withered fart. Which isn't a good thing for a thirty minute project, if you can't keep your audience involved for more than eight minutes you've probably fucked up. So we're shifting to a five to eight minute format. Which is great for pacing and we can revolve around one or two good jokes. I went and visited Shane this last week. Aside from wasting most of our time playing Talisman (which we have decided to do a article about) we buckled down and did a character write up and have ideas for the "pilot" and first couple of episodes. But too much Talisman prevented us from actually writing a script for those. Luckily I still have two weeks off of work, that's half of my break left! I'm heading back down to be in our friend Craig's (from Witty's Ramblings) movie. That will give us more time to get the first couple of scripts hammered out...after a couple of games of Talisman. So with everything begin to piece together...kind of, we might see a spring to late spring "pilot" rather than early summer. Here's hoping Talisman doesn't fuck that up...but it proably will since I have an expansion in the mail on it's way to me, another to buy and another coming out...I'm sure they'll take up more time than before.

Wish me luck on my costume, whooping Shane's ass at Talisman, finding wave 2 of the Ghostbusters minimates and on my new diet!

Spooky! What have you been doing?

Oh me? I've been doing...things. I've been working more hours this summer than I have been, which has been nice. I'm also running a dungeons and dragons group at the moment, we meet once a week so a lot of my free time goes to setting up sessions for that. It was also really hot here so I was rarely on the computer, I spent most of my time in the backyard where we have a shit ton of trees, the shade was nice. I was also sick again for a week, I left town and stayed with some friends for a couple days, came home sick. The computer also fried at one point for almost two weeks. My camera cord also wont work on my computer for some reason, but will on Sara's laptop.
So it's just been one thing after another. As summer whines down so should my schedule. I'll also have close to a month off from work at the end of the month. The campus I work on closes for two weeks and then there's a optional week and half of work before classes start up again. So I'm hoping to start something soon. I've been working on some ms paint drawings and will hopefully start a comic.
I'll leave you with this though, It's when I've been listening to A LOT.

Top 5 of 08...sort of

So it's that time of year again...

Time to decapitate 2008, and create 2009 in some sort of Frankenstein Lab.

Close, a celebration that winter seasonal depression is half way over. But I suppose more normal people are doing what you suggested.

Hell yeah, burn the established year to the ground!!! Down with the system! Up with the new order! Or... wait, did you mean the new year thing?

Yeah...uh...we decided we would start a new tradition and write a small list of things we think were great in the year of 08

That's right, I remember now. We take this time to look back on the joys of last year, and try to hide the bad parts deep in the darkest parts of our souls.

I have many many secrets hidden in the darkest bowels of my soul...but that aside lets get this shit kicked out.

Starting with Five (because we can do that, it's our Blog) is "Holy Shit, Black President"



















Yeah that was good I suppose, I mean I voted for the guy, but after the soul crushing events of the first election I ever voted in I pretty much gave up all hope.

The man was so popular he only lost my backwater hick county by, like, Thirty-some votes!

I'm actually surprised it was so few...with the area that lie in your county I figured it would have been a landslide loss.

I know, right?

Speaking of black heroes, I know one that's grabbin peels.


















I know of the same man you speak of. Number four on our count is a game we play called "Left 4 Dead"

It may have lost it's flair over the past couple of weeks, but knowing Valve they'll surprise us with something nice and fire our interests back up.

I like the game just fine for the moment, I just hate some of the people. Seriously, how did these people get out of the CS servers? We built those to hold them in, damnit! That and Xbox live.

Well, the xbox live society has their own version of the game that will never get any extra content. But the server capacities are so small we can be assholes and elitists and only let in our closest friends, a very nice feature of the game.

So true, also one of it's downfalls. I don't know about some of you antisocial misanthropes out there, but I have more than 7 friends.
I have 8

Exactly, and then where does that leave that poor odd-man out?
It's usually me, but that's ok I hear awesome stories about the game.

*cue violin music*

No really I don't mind because I'm number 3 on the awesome list of 08










Really? What have you done this year that's so great?

I discovered Sasquatch, save a village of werewolves, drew a t-rex skate boarding with a blunt in his mouth and built a rocket ship

...Yeah... but...where'd your rocket ship GO, smart guy?

I flew it in to the Vatican space ship that was attacking the werewolf village, duh, idiot

God! That's so fucking sweet!! You need to get those photos developed.

I did, fucking Target ruined them, I'm suing them for the entire business.

Aw damn. Well, I know a good lawyer. The number two thing on our list: Me, motherfucker.














Yeah? What did you do that topped what I did?

I quested for the unknown, delved into infinity and punched out the greatest questions plaguing man.

What questions were those? The stereotypical where's the G spot?

Child's play! Everyone knows the G-spot is lost forever on the dark side of the moon.

Oh...yeah I knew that...

Perhaps my greatest accomplishment was learning how to stop time. Sadly, I only know how to stop everything, so I stop too. There, I just did it. I did it again.

Huh, I didn't even feel it...

Yeah, neither did I.

But what I did feel was the number 1 of awesome things. I felt myself...but not you, but we're both the number 1 awesome thing of 08.

That's right! What could be better than taking the #3 and #2 things and cramming them together? Not... uh... literally though.

Nothing, aside from doing all of the things we mentioned we also looked death square in the eyes and kicked him right in the nuts and said "Fuck you, I'm staying alive asshole"

And Death, if want a re-match... you know where to find us.

In your backyard, in that tent because we sure as hell aren't paying rent.

You know what? Fuck Death, and fuck 2008, I'm done with it.

And fuck 09, I'm stoked for 2012.

Happy New Years from the knuckle fucks of The Heart and Spooky Laff and a bullshit.
