Psyentific Sound: D - Taiyo wo Okuru Hi
New Year's was a blast! I partied at Akio's with everyone, naturally, and a few other friends on Daniel's side, though I know them as well.
Toki took it upon herself to tell everyone how I gloat that I never throw up after drinking a lot, since she does from time to time.
She also took it upon herself to have everyone get me to the point where I would throw up. They didn't suceed, but they sure as hell got me sick. So much so that, for two days after the party I was still sick. I never wanna do that again. Fun party though; aside from getting drunk, there was guitar hero combat, gears of war, and the highlight of the night: Karaoke.
Yes, the time old tradition of the asians, where being tone deaf is a way of life. And I rocked at it. Drunkenly, of course. Apparently I have a good rock star falsetto~
I also managed to hurt my back, but I dunno how. It got so bad that I didn't go to work today, which is bad 'coz I've called out a lot lately and I've been reprimanded for it. Well, not much I can do about it now.
In my rested state, I started playing Bujingai again. Man, that game is so good...I wish they added more combos to it 'coz you get kinda tired of doing the same moves over and over, but I found out the coolest move you can do which makes the game 1000x cooler than it already is: stylized finishers.
Yes, stylized finishers. I don't care if you're tired of the italics, it bears the slanted effect. What this is, is that when you make a combo, at a certain time you hold down the square button and when the combo's finished, Lau(Gackt) does and awesome stance that gives you a higher score. You have to see it to believe it's coolness.
I'm also on a D kick, so if someone manages to come by this blog and reads this AND loves D, please send me their stuff. I'm having a hard time finding their previous albums. Anything else?
Sure. Happy New Years. Now get off my lawn.

Fuckin' holidays and shit.
School is finally finished. Few more days until christmas. Every weekend since last weekend i'm gonna be gettin' drunk. Festively drunk.
And I couldn't be happier.
This is indeed a good time to be celebrating. I won't have to worry about school for a short while now, giving me ample time to work on my comic and finally get it past chapter 3, which, by the way, I am almost finished with. For serious, this time. I somehow sidetracked myself by going into the previous chapters and editing some...well, majority, actually, of the panels. Man...the artwork was seriously weak. I know, I know...over time you gain more skill and experience, then you level up and gain a new ability like Buster Blast or Honey Blade or some shit, but the reality is, the real reality...is that I constantly see how much I half-ass shit, and it really sucks. All this time spent on trying to get my comic noticed and I took so many shortcuts that I can see why nobody would want to. I'm actually pretty ashamed of myself right now, so I've taken a vow to make sure that from here on out, the amateur shit gets thrown out of the window. I'm gonna hit this comic head on, and the only outcome I'm expecting is great. I want people to look at my comic and say "damn, this kid knows what he's doing". I know a lot of people, especially loved ones, sugar coat their opinions because they don't want to hurt your feelings, but I have no room for that anymore. I'm going all out on this.
And this, my friends, is why I am gonna celebrate.
Also, to everyone who got me a gift, thank you so much for being a pal o' mine~ You should all be expecting something in return. If you didn't get me one, or haven't yet, then don't worry about it. Christmas is all about friends and family being together and having a helluva lot of fun, not buying expensive shit and expecting something in return. i'll be making drawings and letters to everyone anyway so nobody feels left out. Let's just have a party on the roof, errboddy.
p.s. Does this man not have the biggest lips in the world? It's like he's the alpha lips...all lips spawned off of him.

Christmas is pretty much only a week away, and with that brings the end of my semester at Kean. I can honestly say that I've never been more excited to end a school term than this one right here. I can finally get my education on track, now that I know which classes I'm actually supposed to take. From here on out, it's gonna be nothin' but serious scholastic attitude.
On a side note, I actually wanted to add new suggested gifts to my list, so if anybody's feeling generous or maybe you still don't know or haven't gotten anything for me, then here you go.
Foo Fighters - I love them. Buy me CDs.
The Colour and the Shape (Foo Fighters)
Nothing Left to Lose (FF)
One by One (FF)
In Your Honor (FF)
You know, some of these are so cheap I may just end up getting them myself. If you really wanna get me them, then...tell me. So then I'll know.

Been working on my comic a lot lately. Prepared to be blown away.
I've also started re-doing the first chapter, since any perspective shots I used were really poor. Plus, I have to change the storyline so it makes more sense in the end result. Trust me, it's for the best. It won't even really set me back since I planned this for some time now.
Oh yes, and here's my list for christmas. Feel free to get me stuff out of the kindness of your heart, or just be an asshole and burn in hell, the choice is up to you.
Animal House - I've never seen this movie and I really want to. So buy it for me.Caddyshack
Johnny Depp movies. Any of them aside from Donnie Brasco, Pirates of the Caribbean 1+2, the Libertine, Sleepy Hollow, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and From Hell.
Bleach: SOULS
FAITH DVD from Hyde.
More to be listed soon.

...We won a battle of the bands contest.
It was an online thing, and out of 180 bands we scored first. Which means we rock. A lot.
Our score was 82/100, and there was little complaint of our music. To make things even better, we not only win free equipment (except for instruments, it would've been nice to get a new bass), but there's a chance that record labels will listen to us and hopefully give us a chance.
Yeah, we could be signed.
This whole event is making me change my mind about leaving, I'll tell you that much. This was the exact break we were looking for, and even before that we were getting offers to perform like there was no tomorrow. That has to mean something, you know?
Turns out our last performance went very well, too. We were the top draw, biggest attention grabbers, and we just plain kicked ass that night. Yeah, we're doing something right here.
So any petty bullshit aside, I think I'm gonna stick this out for the long run. I don't wanna be that guy that leaves just when everyone's famous, I complain too much as it is.

Psyentific Sound: hide - Goodbye
Well, last night was the last performance of Eden*Star.
We played at some really close venue known as the Galaxy Cafe. Cool name. Horrible place.
So many emo kids, with their really tight pants (which I will get to in a moment), their retarded haircuts, and their overall poor attitudes to anything non-emo related.
Now I know what you're thinking: but pirate king, you don't like anything emo-related, so what are you talking about???
WELL YOU'RE WRONG! Yes, I know it's hard to believe but I do listen to some emo music, if it sounds good to me. Story of the Year is something I've just recently heard that I like, not to mention 30 Seconds to Mars (Jared Leto's band, who is one pretty sonofabitch), and even My Chemical Romance. And once upon a time, I listened to Dashboard Confessional for a hot moment, and they were like...one of the founding fathers of the worst music genre ever.
So!
That being said, I can talk shit about emo music and the people involved. Why would you make music that sounds exactly like other songs people have written and expect it to be original? You sing about the same shit, you play like other bands, and you look like them, too. And people like this. I just don't get it. I like mostly J-Rock but I also love diversity in music. They may dress somewhat alike from time to time but the music is different, I don't just stick to one genre and call that my own, it would be stupid and immature to do that.
Which leads me to another point: All the emo kids were 14+ over there. And the youngest person in Eden*Star is 19. Naturally, we felt fucking old.
Now, the stupid tight pants that emo kids wear, what the fuck is up with that? And what's worse: the pants get fucking tighter. Let me repeat: THEY GET FUCKING TIGHTER.
I hate emo kids. There were so many little shits there with knobby knees wearing these tight ass pants, looking like fucking morons who can't dress themselves. If you're going to wear tight pants, you have to look sexy, like this. See the difference? You need to be able to fill out jeans, not wear your 12 year old sister's dress pants and think you look cool, you goddamned idiots. This is why rock has gone to the shitter people! It's horrible.
All that aside, we performed last night and it was great. A little disappointing that it was our last performance, but hey, who knows what can happen in the future. I'll tell you one thing though: if we ever get this going again, we will stay far away from the emo mecca that was the Galaxy Cafe. Even the people running the show were douchebags! Some fat chick told everyone very rudely to move aside because we were blocking the fire exit. She was obviously very jealous of the fact that all of my friends were lookin' smoking hot and she was some big pile of emo goo. I'd be jealous too if I looked like that. Also, their rules were completely inane. We weren't allowed to enter/exit the building at any time except for between sets due, since they wouldn't know if you came in earlier and paid for a ticket. Nevermind that they stamped people's hands for that exact reason. Make any sense? No, it's emo.
Well, it's also Thanksgiving, and it's gonna be fun this year. Well, it's fun every year, but this year imma pig out like a mo'fugga. Fuck the dieting, all this watching what I'm eating shit. I'm destroying my inner organs in a bout of food war.
See you guys on the other side.

Psyentific Sound: Motorhead - Sucker
I got into a fight with my professor on Wednesday.
I had to leave early to get some rest before I went to work, and this class goes on until 3:20. From Union to Piscataway at that time is nuts, since not only is it about a 45 minute drive, but there's ALWAYS traffic at that time. Well, my professor tried to ream me a new asshole about leaving early and that I shouldn't plan around my school schedule.
I'll repeat. I shouldn't plan around my school schedule. If that makes any sense to you, please help me to understand.
So, we get into an argument about this, and I tell him straight up that it's my time, and I have to work it out on my own so if I want to leave early, I will. I also told him that I was only letting him know out of courtesy, to which he replied that if I decided to leave class early again, that it would be by my own risk. I asked him if he was finished, he said he had nothing left to say and I replied with "good, i'll be leaving now."
If there's one thing I hate, it's college professors. They believe they have the ability to control your life because you're given a certain amount of time with them, nevermind that you're PAYING for that time and for them to be there. Naturally, this would mean if you want or have to leave early, you can do so without any trouble. I also don't like how, because you're in college, the professor can use vulgarities because they've "been in the real world".
This teacher throws hissy fits on a regular basis over extremely small things, such as nobody answering a question. If this were "the real world", and he did the same thing, then he'd be out of a job in a heartbeat. In the real world, you can't go off at the mouth at a prospective client/job and expect to get them to work for/with you, that's just insane.
Well, I guess I know why he's teaching at Kean.
I'm seriously wondering why I'm going to school, or that I'm even in this field. The people I deal with, these supposed leaders and mentors, are either too full of themselves, or they can't teach for shit. Some of them are both! And I'm supposed to learn from these people?
This is the worst college experience of my life. I hope next semester is better.

Nothin' new going on in my life. I'm boring.
Performed at the Underpass last friday. Awesome show, despite my strap falling off my bass. Twice. Managed to make it look cool by playing on the floor. 'Coz I'm that cool.
Been drawing, and it's been good. I have probably 6-7 pages left before I'm done with chapter 3, and man...it may not sound like much but it's a lot. My first volume's going to be around 200 pages, and that...is a lot of paper.
You ever wonder why people ask you to see something after they've taken it from you? Just a little somethin' to chew on.

I'm back.
Okay so I get a new computer and nobody's ever on. I'm expecting to be welcomed with open arms to the world of internets, and instead I'm greeted by loneliness.
Ah yes, loneliness. My arch enemy and my best lover. Psych.
Anyhoo, imma share some pics I've taken recently with you guys 'coz...well, I don't have much to write about.
The first pic is of my 2-D design teacher, dressed up as Superman for our little Halloween party. Yeah, he was the guy I couldn't stand at first 'coz he's a know-it-all braggart, the type of person I usually don't want to associate myself with. However, due to recent knowledge that my credits for this class were actually transferred from Gibbs, the class has no meaning to me now. Also, this guy has kinda grown on me, since...well, he's a know-it-all, but that's because he actually has done a lot and really does know what he's talking about. You can't knock a man for what he knows, only how he shows what he knows, y'know? Anyway, he's turning out to be a good guy and that's all that matters to me. It would suck if he was a know-it-all asshole who kicked puppies and ate babies. That would also be very weird.
Another pic of him, only 'coz his costume was silly. He has plastic bags for muscles since he couldn't fill out the outfit. By the way, he's a major DC comic freak, and even worked with Neil Adams, who is apparently considered one of the greatest comic artists ever, and has worked on Green Lantern. Check him out if you want.
This kid is a friend of ours, Matt. He dressed up as Ghost Rider...well, as best as he could. It's hard to peel off the skin on your head and then douse it in flames.
Nielsen, the drummer of the band, in what I think is an incredibly sad picture due to alcohol and the fact that I was trying out different effects on my camera phone. I really just caught him phasing out, but man...this is a sad picture.
Anyhoo, that's about it. Stopped working on my comic for a couple of days but I'm starting it up again tonight. Only a couple of more pages and I'll be done with chapter 3. I'm working really slow because I'm trying to add more to panels so that way people'll want to read my story. I don't wanna cheapen the comic by making just faces and no backgrounds, but hey, you have to do that sometimes. I can't make a movie by drawing every single detail here, otherwise it'll take forever for my comic to come out.
New layout soon, if not tonight~
