I think it was Y2K that started freaking me out. I don't recall worrying about it before then, but then again I don't recall much haha. Also seems like a post secret thing too.
Happy New Years folks. I don't have work tomorrow. WOOO!
"But maybe we've been better off with our heads in the sand. You could leave us to drown here according to plan. But if this ship's going down, you'll find me with the band."
(Drastic, The Loved Ones)
Yup I earned my nine dollars today.
Also in a rare rare occasion, I did two in one day. Freaky man.
"You only see what I let you see, Nothing less and nothing more. What you say is nothing new to me. Honestly."
(Kiss My Sass, Cobra Starship)
Oh my financial whoas.
"We never like to sing whoa's. We love whoa's. We're against whoa's. We hate whoa's."
(Whoa On The Whoas, NoFx)
Hope you all had merry ones and got decent stuff. I got (amoung other things) guitar hero pjs. Weird huh?
Anywho. It is bittersweet to only have to work 5 hours. But it's only the beginning so I now have to search for more employment.
"I know you love me most, no one else take my place. You need me, yes you do. Forever, and ever."
(Baby Love Child, Pizzicato Five)
I say again, Merry Christmas folks. My absences can be explained by having to get to work at 6am for a straight week and having to work on another thing that needed to take priority.
That's about it, later folks.
"Do they know it's Christmastime at all?"
(Do They Know Its Christmas, Band Aid)
That's right, we are in year four of Stars on the Ceiling. I just forgot haha. I was on the bus when I realized. I did do a comic that day but I didn't mention the anniversary and unwittingly celebrated it haha.
Later folks.
"Daylight fading. Come and waste another year. All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear. Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn. When we see the early signs that daylight's fading. We leave just before it's gone."
(Daylight Fading, Counting Crows)
Now now kids. Don't you worry, I'm probably not getting fired. Considering how often they were mad at me last year it's unlikely, but still. I worry.
"Well, I've got a bad feeling about this"
(A Decade Under The Influence, Taking Back Sunday)
When I think about it all I want out of life is to live on my own, have money to pay bills and do whatever I want. How I'd get there I still have no idea. I think in this I'm getting pissed cause I'm not working towards anything. I'm just working at the store, drawing a comic here or there, and play video games. Other then that I don't work to some goal. Funny thing is I don't know what I wanna work towards. Cause I also worry that at the other side I'll be no closer then I am now. I think up to this point has freaked me out. Going to college and all that and I'm still at home. I guess I believed in that whole go to college and then you'll have a job, which happen to some but not to me.
Bah, well the season is almost up, so I need to figure out a plan. Cause my large amount of hours will be cut as soon as the season is over. *sigh*
Later folks.
"This is how to build a better enemy. We work together and we get it done. I'm not exactly who I used to be. So shut your mouth or else you're fucking gone."
(G, Reggie And The Full Effect)
I would die laughing if a manager said that to us haha. Also if you forgot I work at a toy store haha.
"Man I feel like mold. It's prom night and I am lonely. Lo and behold. she's walking over to me."
(Teenage Dirtbag, Wheatus)
Indeed. For further proof, look here.
"Do you believe in God? Written on the bullet. Say 'yes' to pull the trigger."
(Cassie, Flyleaf)
Couple things about this comic. First thing is that the things I'm thinking while sleeping are actual things I dream about just before I wake up. I feel an anxiety that I'm at work in my dreams. It kinda feels like when I dream about being chased or something. Two in keeping with my newly discovered joy of adding some detail to my drawings. My bedroom is (somewhat) accurately represented in this comic. And the thing to the left of me in the last panel is not Gnomes or elves. They're actually Goku and Vegeta as super sayiens.
Well that's about it. Talk to you all manana.
"It's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired. You are stuck to me everyday. Believe in what I am because it's all I have today. And tomorrow who knows where we'll be. From here I can hardly see a thing. But I will follow anyone who brings me to you. For now, forever, for on and on and on."
(Every Thug Needs A Lady, Alkaline Trio)
Just to be clear, I don't fantasize about master chief stalking me. I just find it hilarious for a strong bad ass character acting like a needy whiny guy haha. And after looking into my old comics, this isn't the first time I avoided his calls.
Another Stars on the Ceiling fun fact. The answering machine is a drawing of my real one. Though that's not groundbreaking I do find it cool I drew something real instead of just making it up for once.
"A movie, still photograph. Through a martyr's eyes I can see. I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned. And I've paid for every single word I ever said."
(Chase This Light, Jimmy Eat World)
Up to where I was up late playing God of War II(11, but I had work at 6) is true, everything else is made up. If you couldn't guess.
"I gotta know tonight. If you're alone tonight. Can't stop this feelin'. Can't stop this fire. Oh."
(Hysteria, Def Leppard)
Seriously. I even told my mom I don't care if we do nothing. At least in terms of decorating haha.
"Somethings, somethings are just for me."
(Just For Me, Blues Traveler)
I seem to enjoy it when I draw more detail.
"I confess, I'm messed up. Dropping 'I'm sorry' like you're still around. And I know you dressed up. 'Hey kid you'll never live this down'."
(A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me", Fall Out Boy)
Yup yup. If anybody was wondering, I am attempting to get back into doing comics. I have regained a little of my want to draw the comic again. But so far it's very little. But I'll work on it haha.
"There was a verse that I was gonna write I haven't yet. But there's still a chance I might An open book. That I still want to close I'll find the time."
(Someday I Suppose, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones)
Yea I honestly couldn't think of a witty title. So there we go.
"Picture a spinning toy laden with adventure. Coupled with the things I've told. And a dream can be as one. I have my moments now and again."
(I Have My Moments, Blues Traveler)
Happy Thanksgiving folk. And two Simpsons references in a row haha.
They do say that haha. Technically incorrect.
"I'm dying to know. Do you do you like dreaming of things. So impossible or only the practical. Or ever the wild or waiting through all your bad bad days. Just to end them with someone you care about. Or do you like making out. And long drives and brown eyes. And guys that just don't quite fit in. Yeah do you like them? So yes, I'll see you there."
(So Impossible, Dashboard Confessional)
Yup yup haha.
"I'll get over you. I know I will. I'll pretend my ship's not sinking. And I'll tell myself I'm over you. 'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking. I am the king of wishful thinking."
(King of Wishful Thinking, Go West)
yup. One year older, celebrating in moderation cause I got work tomorrow at 6am. SHIT!!!!
I've actually said that to her ever now and again when she asks me that. For reason's that title state.
"It's three o'clock in the morning. And I'm hungry so let's eat. Climb down three flights to the streetlights. And the bar-fights, we're just taking in the sights. I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed."
(Hello City, Barenaked Ladies)
Yup, me Mom got me a wacom tablet for my birthday/Christmas. It's awesome, and it'll probably be more awesome once I get used to using it.
For those of you worried I will abandon my old ink and pencil ways to use the tablet you can rest easy. It honestly took longer then if I drew it by hand. But I imagine after I get use to it I could work faster.
Anywho, later folks.
"I'm a religious drunk and this is where I pray."
(Seeing Double At The Triple Rock, NOFX)
What I actually wrote was, "may the force be with you".
Yup, today the only thing that changed was Theresa's insurance. Congrads to them.
"Spring is here. The sky is blue. Whoa! the birds all sing as if they knew. Today's the day, we'll say, "I do". And we'll never be lonely anymore. Because we're. Going to the chapel. And we're gonna get married."
(Chapel of Love, Dixie Cups)
Well I'm back! For today and tomorrow at least. I just had a great idea for a comic today(actually started differently, but I liked this better) and also I must celebrate my friends union tomorrow.
Later folks and Happy Halloween.
"I remember doing the Time Warp. Drinking those moments when. The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling. Let's do the time warp again."
(Time Warp, The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
You may have noticed recently that I have been lax in posting comics. I have no excuse except I just didn't want to draw one. Not to pull a Mitch Clem here but honesty I just don't want to draw Stars on the Ceiling right now.
However I do plan on drawing. In fact check out this comic I drew. It's way different then other things I have done. Be interested what you guys think.
That's about it. Later folks.
Yup the company that owns the opposite software Maya has bought softimage. It's kinda like you're favorite unknown band getting signed to a major label. Also it was softimage versus Maya, now they're kinda on the same side.
"And all I want is to go home just for a bit (hey hey hey). But these padded rooms are the shit!"
(Mental Health, Zebrahead)
Yup. Got Dead Space, Rock Band 2 and Call of Duty 4.
See yea.
Don't ask me who it is cause I'm not telling or even giving a clue. This conversation actually happened. I just wanted to pay tribute to the most awesome response to a lousy situation haha.
"Well, I never had VD on my PP. Hope your pissed 'cause I'm really drippy - Yes I do. Pulled out my burning pecker and out came the puss. Though it hurt, but I was devoured by lust - Oh, what a fuck."
(Needle Up My Cock, G.G. Allin)
Was out for a drive and I saw that sign on a truck. I always think that when I see that thing haha.
Well later folks.
"I don't want to spend the rest of my days. dreaming yesterday's daydreams."
(Cheer, The Descendents)
Haha, yup yup.
That's Cammie for yea haha. It's not exactly how it went down but I think it works for my purposes haha.
For the definition go here.
"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you."
(Disturbia, Rihanna)
First in our obscure reference category(which I do often haha), the title comes from a Zit comic where the main character(Jeremy) complains about them taking taxes out of his check and his parents said above.
That is all, later.
"This is all that I'm saying."
(Your Girlfriends Hate Me, Reggie And The Full Effect)
I find it hilarious for many reasons. None that I wanna mention here haha, but I'm sure most of you know. I also don't think many people voted for me.
Also I came in second for trivia thanks to my friend Nicole and some cool folks we met. I WILL BE NUMBER 1!! Haha, not really.
Yes it's true, Tim "The Fountain of Useless Knowledge" Aichele was beaten in trivia. But it's not true, I am going for good times with friends. It's the one time a month I send a message out to friends to see if they wanna hang out and possibly do trivia. And good times are had. Cause I never pick people based on trivia ability haha.
If you read this and want in, you'll have to wait till next month. Remember it's the first Tuesday of the month that they have trivia. So hit me up if you want in on the fun.
Later folks.
"And maybe you'll come and see us when we get real big. Maybe you'll see us if we ever get another gig. Cause there's so many fish in the sea. And they all look like me. I'm just a little tiny fish. That's all I'll ever be."
(I'm Cool, Reel Big Fish)
Ladies I speak for all good guys when I say that haha. I guess I look at it as if you're saying I'm not a good guy. But I believe what you really mean to say, you can't find the right guy. That makes more sense to me at least cause the world is full of good guys, but very very few right(for you) guys.
Some food for thought brought to you by the friendly staff off Stars on the Ceiling.
"You've been searching for that someone. and it's me out on the prowl. As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself."
(When I come around, Green Day)
Haha, love the title.
"Your rule of thumb. Make me worry some."
(Just A Girl, No Doubt)
Sometimes I just like simple.
"Kissing me so slowly, shouldn't be this lucky, like we're in a movie. Smiling at me in the moonlight, wish this could be everynight. And everynight and everynight again. Don't tell me what you're doing to me. I dont want to look sleazy, but you make it seem so easy."
(Take Me Home, Please, Reggie And The Full Effect)
Think about it. They say how will you take care of your family if you're gone. They just have to insert a thinly veiled threat and you got a horror movie haha.
Indeed.
"And I think this house is not my home. I think that I'd rather be alone tonight. I'm trying, trying to fake it."
(House Is Not My Home, Zebrahead)
I have good timing and sometimes clever things to say, getting them from my brain to my mouth seems to be a problem most of the time. I notice it a lot at work. I tend to things up while speaking.
Eh, so it is.
"Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar. You get what my meanings are."
(These Apples, Barenaked Ladies)
Yup yup, if you can't tell it's the song from those Discovery channel commercials.
"Pirate skulls and bones. Sticks and stones and weed and bombs. Running when we hit 'em. Lethal poison through their system."
(Paper Planes, M.I.A.)
Yup one of my many long lost friends. She just happened to be in my store while we were having a special event. I don't think she actually said that, but she did hide from him haha.
Sorry so vague but I don't want to be fired for mocking my job haha.
I got em a few days ago but it's the first time wearing em.
"Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me. Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid. Never will the smallest voice again be silent, yours to destroy."
(Yours To Destroy, No Use For A Name)
Though the fall season has been starting already I only mention it because NCIS starts tonight. The shame is that House is on as well. What's a guy to do? I decided to go with NCIS haha.
Later folks.
"So why don't you sing to me on this long drive home? Let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow. As we go down, down, down. From our youth to the ground."
(Miles Davis And The Cool, The Gaslight Anthem)
For those of you who don't know. River was Summer Glau's character in Firefly and she now plays Cameron the terminator on the show listed above.
Well that all later.
"Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem. But I'd sure like to find out. So why don't you climb down off that movie screen."
(Mrs. Potter's Lullaby, Counting Crows)
At first I was not to thrilled, but the next day I was ruling ass haha. Wanna try again on the harder level and choose the dark side haha.
Yup, later folks.
That's right folks. Heading back to open mic and Krunch. Along with my band Twenty One Up, probably gonna play with others too. Don't have an exact time but we'll be going on sometime around 10:30. Be there.
By the way I really like how this came out. It says so much without using words haha.
"And maybe someday I'll believe (Maybe someday I'll Believe). That we are all a part of some bigger plan. Tonight I just don't give a damn (So shut your mouth its time to dance). If the world is ending. I'm throwing the party."
(Guilty Pleasure, Cobra Starship)
