Love and Piracy, Beck in Black baby~

Inspiration? Snow...no~
Song of the Soul: TM Revolution - Meteor

New comic. Just to let you know, I don't like the last panel. Yeah, it's funny, but it's lame and I actually have legs in this one, hence why I don't like it. I...like being legless.

So yeah, got work today...and it's snowing. I hate snow 'coz my job won't close for it. Ever. I went home early last night, hopefully I can leave early tonight, too.

Hopefully. I'm so hoping. With hope. And skittles...

Inspiration? Nothing Today.
Song of the Soul: Dir En Grey - Drain Away

I fuckin' hate sundays. Stupid customers, that fact that I worked a 12 hour shift yesterday and had to come in early today, and adding that I couldn't get any sleep last night equals a very grumpy me.

And to make matters worse, my fuckin' bass broke on me. Fucking hell.

I fixed it though, so no biggie...for now. Gum and spit only works so far.

Ah I'm gonna go practice, all of you go...somewhere.

Inspiration? A...manager of all people~
Song of the Soul: Beat Crusaders - Follow Me

One of my managers, James Cojones...uh, Mahoney, plays in a band.

And has $10,000 worth of equipment.

I creamed my pants. That's...very awesome, y'know? Maybe one day we can jam at his house, I dunno...

So yeah, I ate pizza today. It was so good...so yeah, saw my cornball, and we had pizza, and then i came home, did some chores, got mad and went to work.

Work sucked, but I saw an old friend. Yeah, banana joe.

Um...work sucked, but it wasn't too bad. Tomorrow I gets to hang out with kaz-play, akiolio, and cornball, and hopefully jun. Yay everyone!

Okay, I'm gone.

Beck in Black @12:15 a.m. on Thursday, January 13, 2005

Inspiration? Actually playing in a band~
Song of the Soul: Bazra - Akari

So yeah, I'm happy.

"But why are you happy, Pirate King? With all the devastation and illness in the world, you should be sad and miserable, miserable I say!"

Well, I don't know why anyone would say that but...fuck you to those who do. Mean people. So yes, I'm happy 'coz I finally, finally finally FINALLY put my bass to good use.

Oh yeah, you guessed it. I played in a band. Uh huh.

Had our first practice today, and yeah...I kick ass. I seriously worried that I wouldn't be good, even though I've been practicing scales and learning chords and shit. All that was put to rest when I finally played...with other instruments playing! OH my GOD!

Sorry, had a girly moment. Ahem, so yeah, lots of fun. The guitarist is friggin' awesome, he asked me to play a bass line and when it took me a moment to piece something together, I played and he just went along with me, strumming, improvising, and I sat there with the tingly sensation.

Tingly, my dear, mucho the tingly.

In other news...I can play my bass. Hurrah.

Gonna see L'Arc concerts tonight, so peace out everyone!

Beck in Black @04:01 p.m. on Tuesday, January 11, 2005

Inspiration? I dunno man, get off my sack~
Song of the Soul: P'unk~En~Ciel- Round and Round 2005

For real homie, all in my kool-aid and you don't even know the flavor, bitch.

Sabor es Flavor en espanol. Muy pirata.

So yeah, worked a lot this weekend, hence the me not being around. Um, also, I believe I've got a band to practice with. The name's Half Past Yesterday, and...it's a sucky name. It's weird 'coz I only listen to JRock and they wanna play punk and shit, i'm just like "uh...Yoshiki's from X-Japan" ::nods assuringly::

Yeah, he really is. He's the drummer. Drop some knowledge on ya ass.

Yeah anyhoo, it's comprised of co-workers from my job, and I was actually amazed some of them played. One looks like he listens to just hip hop, the other...is italian. I know it doesn't mean anything, but he's italian. The other is, too, but we've been talkin about rock for a long while now. Anyhoo, they want to be a full band, I just wanna practice with people now. I'm getting better on my bass, I daresay, and I wanna try my newfound awesomeness.

In other news...I'm tired. Been tryin to draw and I got nothin so far, but I am drawin in pen which makes shit harder lately. Ah well, I'm sure I'll get somethin' soon. In the time of meaning, I'm going to bed.

Inspiration? Sickness~
Song of the Soul: Dir En Grey - Hydra

I Glomped Gabbles too hard. Sorry...

So anyhoo, I believe the sickness has ended. In a way, I'm glad but I'm also kind of sad...I don't like being sick, but neither does my job. If I'm still sick, they send me home, therefore I don't have to work. I hate working, as we all know.

Ah well, so I did nothing today when I woke up, up until 3 when I saw my cornball and then spent the rest of the night with her. Oh yay.

I also got to help her with her job! I got ink on my fingers...

Viva el ink...del dios!

Okay I'm done, maybe I'll get a comic out in a day or two.

Beck in Black @12:22 a.m. on Wednesday, January 5, 2005

Inspiration? 1st Post of the New Year~
Song of the Soul: The Flare- Uetico

So yeah, I have nothing new for you people.

I've been sick since last week, and it only got worse and worse until recently...like, today, that i've been feeling better. So with that said, I did a fun thing today.

I called out from my job. Glee.

They ruined my schedule and today's supposed to be my day off, so i just called out as im still sick and i have the whole day to myself. Besides, after stickin' me in seafood for 3 weeks, I deserve a good break from that place.

What I just realized, however, is that they gave me tomorrow off. And I haven't gone to work since saturday.

I scored myself a 4 day weekend, oh yeah uh huh.

So what have I been upto, lately? Playing my bass, mostly. I'm gettin' better, and I'm figuring out scales and all that jazz so I'm starting to learn how to make my own bass lines. Yay me!

Also, downloadin' a lot of jrock. I got chunks of Bazra, an awesome indies band that's all about funky bass and a screaming, offtone vocalist who I love so much. Yay Bazra!

Also, some Dir En Grey 'coz I only have so many songs to judge them by. Yeah, I can see why people liked their album Macabre the most, it's actually pretty good. Still, I'm not that big of a fan of Diru, though I'm prolly more of a fan than their most loyal as of late. Poor Diru...

Oh, and I got more The Flare songs! Uetico, though most people (hi silly) don't really care for that song, it's actually pretty good. The vocalist, Yuna, raps on the track, but it's not all that bad. And plus, Sugizo beats up his guitar in that song. Yay Sugizo!

Yay cake!

Um...I'm listening to Malice Mizer now...it's all soft and mellow...not really what I expected. Eh.

I've also been drawing again, since I went on a crapful hiatus and any artwork i made came out not to my expectations. Glad to say my groove is back so I should put it to good use. Oh, and I'm currently writing chapter 16 of my story...not that it really matters, I'm the only one reading it.

And thus, you break the pirate king's heart.

Oh yeah, and parents are annoying.

Beck in Black @03:12 p.m. on Monday, January 3, 2005

Inspiration? The End of the World...or the Year~
Song of the Soul: L'Arc~En~Ciel- Killing Me

Yeah I got the new L'Arc song, do somethin' about it. Well, it's the radio version, so it's all short and there's some lil japanese announcer that chimes their two cents in. Blahbaba.

So yes, it's almost the end of the year. Only two days away from being 2005, and I have to say this year...had a lot of ups and downs. It's weird to look back and see I fell in love and actually had that person fall in love with me in return. It's amazing that I saw my favorite band perform after I never even dreamt it would happen. It's also cool that I still have my goals, and that they're still following through.

Of course, no year is complete without some kind of negativity. But I won't get into that mainly because it's behind me and no matter what, y'gotta look up and move to the future. I'm sure things may work out somehow, and though I hate to admit all the bad things this year really knocked me hard on my ass, some to the point of tears, that I keep movin' on. That's what it's about, just movin' on, man.

What else...um, my job still sucks, but hey no sense in beating a dead horse, right? I'v fallen into that "not so bad" groove right now, so I'm just gonna let it ride out until I'm either real pissed or I...I dunno, have more boofing. Hurray boofing~

Jo, you post like 18 millioneth times on my comment box. You're crazy, you know this? Still, you're my lil' asian sister and I love you like crazy. One day we'll all meet and it's gonna be bad ass. Y'hear that? Bad. ASS.

Gabbles, you're a nutball yourself, but i love you anyhoo. It was fun getting to meet you this year, and then getting to hang out with you for like...2 months. Or like 3 days, I forget. Still, I'm happy we're buddies and you get a big big huggle.

Ghosto, I got to meet you this year, too, and you're a ball of fun yourself. You're also my relationship buddy, we see eye to eye on a lot of junk and it's good to have someone like you in my lil' piratey life. You rock, and I hope you get lots of good junk next year.

Kaz-play! I met you this year, too! Oh my gooood! You're our newest addition and you fit just great, you're the best. Going with you and Lez Pez to the Met was a bunch of fun, I saw you in a different light. It was like, maroon-ish.

How could I forget Niikura, the laugh machine. Met you this year, too, and you laugh at everything. It's funny, but it also makes me feel good to know there's someone out there with that much charisma and personality, and optimism. You're the best, and so much fun to talk to.

And lastly, My Cornball, without you I wouldn't even be this happy to write. You've become my everything, and in return you give everything back to me. I love you, and I'm still mad you didn't act sooner. What were you thinking...

Of course, I love the Family as well, and I'm glad this year you found a place for me, too. Much with the love, peeps!

Oh, and Toki's fangirl is annoying. Die, you little mop!

Inspiration? Christmas~
Song of the Soul: The Flare- Lyra

Yeah it's christmas. Hoo-rah.

Nah just messin', it's finally christmas and I couldn't be happier. My job, after fuckin' with me for the longest time, was actually gracious enough to give me a three day weekend, and then my usual days off plus next weekend, which'll prolly be another 3 day weekend. That's like...a lot of days off, man. I'm not counting, I just woke up.

So I had this party last night, and everything went well. Even the, you know, having my Cornball's parents meet mine. Talk about a little nervous. So anyhoo, it all went very well, so I'm happy. Now, I've got a three day weekend so if anyone wants to bother me...don't.

Beck in Black @12:55 p.m. on Saturday, December 25, 2004

Inspiration? A stupid day~
Song of the Soul: Hyde- Horizon

Fuck I hate my job. Been working in seafood for the past 2 weeks and i got 1 more before im finally done, and i hate it to death. Fuck.

Some lady today, while I was getting some replenishments for the carts, goes ahead and starts grabbing some of the seafood on her own. Without gloves. Spreading her filthy customer germs. Fuck.

Then some lady goes ahead, doesn't buy a bag of shrimp, then comes back to buy it and complains...after i open a new bag, that the frozen shrimp costs more. Well fuck lady, it sure didn't seem that way to me when I place the exact same amount on the scale and...oh my god, got the same weight. Fuck! Have people become so stupid that they're only satisfied when I make them feel dumb? 'Coz hey, I got a lot of lovin' to give.

Christmas eve tomorrow and I'm working. I'm killing someone for christmas.

Beck in Black @10:26 p.m. on Thursday, December 23, 2004

Inspiration? Lots of Luna Sea~
Song of the Soul: Luna Sea- In Silence
