Yup it's real. Don't know what it's about, but I couldn't get past the title.
"Fall through heart. Your hands were oh so small. It's the things about this place. Tonight we escape."
(Hart Crane, The Anniversary)
Yup. Fun times.
Also in comic related news. I finished a new comic looky here. It's fun.
"We live on front porches and swing life away. We get by just fine here on minimum wage. If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end. I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand "
(Swing Life Away, Rise Against)
It's all true. Except I didn't call her a cum guzzler.
Yea, I'm not a fan of this word. But this was to funny to me to pass up. I was gonna censor the n word but I don't censor my other foul language so I figured why start now. Sorry if I offend anybody.
For the first time ever. I went to see a band I like and did not know the words to a lot of their songs. Aside from that, the show was awesome.
Wonder if anybody can guess the song I'm trying to sing along to haha.
It's silly haha.
I might not be here tomorrow. For once I have an excuse. I'll be seeing Alkaline Trio at the Troc. WOOOO! Later.
"Where we'd hit the ground running on empty stories we've been told. And all those nights we spent together never felt this fucking cold. When we let the car run in the driveway kiss you one last time. Before we brought the horses in before the storm of '59."
(Warbrain, Alkaline Trio)
Yup, topical humor. I feel a little bittersweet. On the one hand I have a comic today, the other it's going to be a dated joke. But then again. *shrug*
Also a word about reunions. I get confused why certain ones get back together (Smashing Pumpkins where it's only Billy Corgan). But it comes down to they members made more money together then on their own.
"Should have been dead. On a Sunday morning. Banging my head. No time for mourning. Ain't got no time."
(My Own Prison, Creed)
Yup, been playing Mirror's Edge. It's awesome. And yea, I do fall off buildings a lot, or I get shot.
"My dreams aren't premonitions."
(Impossible Outcomes, The Get Up Kids)
Yup, on Sunday my friend Jess' boyfriend Nick(you may remember him from my old band Pistolia and that he is Greek) had roast lamb for Greek Easter.
That's all. Later folks.
"Remember when I said I love you. Well, forget it I take it back. I was just a stupid kid back then. I take back every word that I said."
(Stupid Kid, Alkaline Trio)
Had my cousin Patties' funeral today. As you can see it rained all day.
I promise there will be a funny one tomorrow. Later.
"His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke. He had seen all to be seen. A life once full, now an empty vase. Wilt the blossums on his early grave."
(What's Left Of The Flag, Flogging Molly)
Yea, it's been a weird time. I wasn't close to either, but they're still family.
I think I am mostly worried somebody else is going to pass soon cause these things sometimes happens in threes. So I figure a week or so and things will be clear.
"May angels lead you in."
(Hear You Me, Jimmy Eat World)
Yup. I truly wonder how he found me and also felt the need to apologize.
Also if you wanna read specifically what he wrote. Look here.
"Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you. Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss. Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist."
(San Dimas High School Football Rules, The Ataris)
Yup left the house in search of Comics and spending gift cards. I found comics in the form of Brave New Worlds. A sweet comic shop in Center City. Though it didn't have as many back issues of Deadpool as I hoped, but I got some. And book called, Bookhunter, a graphic novel about a book detective. Look forward to reading it.
Afterwards I went searching for this fabled George's Music store Google told me existed in Center City (also ran into my old college friend Chris). Alas I didn't find it.
In reference to the Google at Siggraph thing. They always have a booth at Siggraph. In case you were wondering.
"The sin of property. We do disdain. No man has any right to buy and sell. The earth for private gain. By theft and murder. They took the land. Now everywhere the walls. Spring up at their command."
(The World Turned Upside Down, Billy Bragg)
Ditto.
"All my friends are enemies. And they just turn their backs to my face. Their actions biting me. And all my friends are enemies. So I'm always on my own."
(All My Friends, Say Anything)
Yup yup.
"Now I'm watchin wrestling. Tryin to be a tough guy. Listenen to rap metal. Turntables in my eyes. I can't grow a mustache and I ain't got no season pass. All I gots a moped."
(Girl All The Bad Guys Want, Bowling for Soup)
Yup, I've been playing under that name. They seem to find it as funny as I do.
"You're always dressed to kill. And you feel like you owe it to the world. But you owe it to yourself."
(Dressed to Kill, A New Found Glory)
Indeed. People think it's a new game, but it's been out forever.
Yup yup. I recently felt the need to read comics. So I pulled out my Deadpool and Age of Apocalypse. Shweeeeet.
True true haha.
"Drop the girl she's no good for you. She'd sink lower than a body in the Hudson could ever do"
(Drop The Girl, Hit The Lights)
I mean technically she was right to ask. She was bringing up the display case, so it wasn't really resident evil 5. Still though, it's on the fucking box.
"Just because you're better than me. Doesn't mean I'm lazy. Just because you're going forwards. Doesn't mean I'm going backwards."
(To Have And To Have Not, Billy Bragg)
It indeed has been a very very long time since I drew something that at least looked realistic. Granted I do better realistic with pencil then pen, which I used. When I thought about it, I did sketch Maria Shriver at work cause she had her picture on some thing. Suffice to say, it was bad. The last time I recall drawing something good that was realistic was figure drawing in college. I've been meaning to get back into still life and figure drawing. Just refresh and shake of this cartoonness.
As for Jury Duty. I was called in for a federal jury duty. So I made $40 dollars today plus 55 cents per mile I had to travel to get to center city. I got lucky, I got sent to a trial but they didn't pick me, so they said I could go home and didn't have to come tomorrow. WOOOOO!!! Even though I wasn't picked, I did the math. I'd make almost as much at jury duty then at work. Interesting.
Well that's all folks. Later.
"The sun sets tomorrow but I won't be there. I don't know what happened, too much has changed."
(Parting Ways, Slick Shoes)
I forgot to mention it was my good friend Theresa's birthday yesterday. So happy birthday to her. Her birthday was celebrated at the Spaghetti warehouse. It was fun, and the food was meh.
Well that's it. Later folks.
"And she was the kind of girl who you would give up eating meat for. No more salami. No more steak or potatoes. Yeah you would walk on down to the health food store and buy hummus. And tabouli. And babaganoush. And rice cakes, rice cakes, rice cakes."
(Nose Ring Girl, Nerf Herder)
Yup, saw it on a car while I was getting driven to work. You would think someone who believed so much they'd put such a phrase on their car would take care of it. Oh well.
"Don't ever forget. All the sleepless nights. We stayed up late. Until the sun would rise. No matter how far you get. I'll be a step behind. To catch you when you fall down."
(The Good Life, Valencia)
Yup. I bought a tube at work. Got a few funny looks haha. But hey I explained.
It's almost done healing WOOO!
"But deep in your Heart. You know the guilt would drive you mad. And the shame would leave a permanent scar. Cause you start out stealing songs. Then you’re robbing liquor stores. And selling Crack. And running over school kids with your car."
(Don't Download This Song, Weird Al Yankovic)
It's true.
"Was a blood red sky on the morning tide. Was a cold wind blowing when I left that night. And the morning bells rang, alright, alright. Shoulda stayed home with you that night. Ain't nobody played the fool like I."
(Red At Night, The Gaslight Anthem)
This is the first tattoo I had to explain really. All the others kinda explain themselves. I mean if you didn't know me you'd wonder why on earth would I tattoo such weird things. But most do know me and they figure it makes sense. In the end when you think about it the question mark comic makes sense too. But nobody thinks when the look at it "Hey it's a comic strip." I think cause the marks kinda overpower the outline surrounding em.
But hey, it's awesome. Later.
"We only made out. You never kissed me. That's how I learned to hold back all feeling."
(Make-Up Smeared Eyes, Automatic Loveletter)
It's true. I'll even give you an example. I'll say Classical Arrangement by Dillinger Four is the best song on the record, in which she will scream hell no or Playmate of the Year by Zebrahead is cool, which she'll just laugh at me. Yea.
Later folks.
"Oh take a chance. Let your body get a tolerance. I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants. Pull a breath like another cigarette. Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em). I'm the oracle in my chest. Let the guitar scream like a fascist. Sweat it out, shut your mouth. Free love on the streets. But in the alley and I ain't that cheap, now."
(I Don't Care, Fall Out Boy)
Yup, I played open mic night by myself. It was cool and I got a positive response. Though nobody was there haha.
Later.
"Lean on Sheena. She leans on me a lot. Hold on, hold on, hold on to what you've got. Hold on to what you've got."
(Lean On Sheena, The Bouncing Souls)
Yup yup. Happy St Patrick's Day folks. Be safe.
Yea I forgot to mention that I got a haircut, I didn't think of a good joke.
"I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall. She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls. But when I saw her smile across a crowded room. Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon. As the band began to play out of tune."
(And We Danced, The Hooters)
Yup yup. Once again I visit Doc to get tattooed. As you can see I got two. One is a 1up mushroom with a phrase underneath that you can see in this picture. It's not it exactly but it gives you the idea. They second as you saw is a comic strip with question marks in em(it symbolizes wondering what will happen next).
"And it's just. Something that I've been dying to let you know. And now that' you're gone. I'm holding on and I just can't let go."
(Where Did You Go?, Valencia)
Yup yup.
"I look up to the sun. It only hurts my eyes. Maybe its the answer I've been wanting in disguise. The more you are with me. The more that I'm alone. I don't need the answer I already know."
(The Answer, Automatic Loveletter)
Yea, have a cold and I've been coughing a lot. Nose doesn't feel so good either.
Later folks.
"I'm coughing up a lung or two just so you know I'm breathing well in front of you."
(It's Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Better, Piebald)
Yup yup. funny week so far haha.
"Oh my, my, oh hell yes. Honey put on that party dress. Buy me a drink, sing me a song, take me as I come. Cause I can't stay long."
(Mary Jane's Last Dance, Tom Petty)
Yup yup later.
"Just one fix. To keep me in the mix. And I'm still strung out on you. Drove all night. I'm the deer in your headlights. What's left of me you'll swallow soon. Too much of you is never enough."
(Holly (Would You Turn Me On?), All Time Low)
Here is my favorite title. It is from Andy. I think this is the last of the submitted titles. So thanks to those submitted. MUCH LOVE!!!
"I won't change the world with a song. Perhaps it's futile to comment. On a revolution somewhere else."
(Descant, Less Than Jake)
Taking a break from the submitted titles to bring you my favorite line from the Watchmen cause I'm going to see it tonight. Though it's hybrid of the movie and book. Seems the movie doesn't directly quote Rorschach, but reworked the line. Which I would have to fit, but I think it's awesome. The last panel is all me. haha.
YAY WATCHMEN!!!
"I wasn't born so much as I fell out. Nobody seemed to notice me. We had a hedge back home in the suburbs. Over which I never could see."
(Lost in the Supermarket, The Clash)
Today's Title courtesy of Muestela. Zombies, always funny.
I figured it be good since it's snowing. Today's title comes from(I think) David Mire. He had a theme of me fighting things haha.
By the way check out my new portfolio site, click here.
"Some people like to rock 'n' roll. You're always singin' the blues."
(Bad Luck, Social Distortion)
Today's title comes from Animator Dave. SCHOOOOOO!
If you missed yesterdays and confused click here.
The title today was also donated by Fitz. I'm pretty sure this wasn't what he meant(He wants me to quit). But I find this far more interesting haha.
That is all, later.
Today's guest title is brought to you by my good friend Fitz. His titles actually setup for a two parter, so tune in tomorrow for part two.
"I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor. I'm only here in body, visiting. Yellow faces and the distant screams. 'The beauty is in what isn't said'. I'm rising to my feet."
(Chase This Light, Jimmy Eat World)
Yup, went to see my friends Distant Orange and Tremor and drank. They had $1.50 yuengling man. The sad part was I had work at 9 am. Luckily I got up with no problems.
Okay still recovering, later.
"You suck so passionately. You're a parasitic psycho, filthy creature. Finger-bangin' my heart. You call me up drunk. Does the fun ever start? You're hideous and sexy!"
(Love Me Dead, Ludo)
I find this idea funny cause people blame tv, movies, and video games for being violent, but there is plenty of violence in the bible. Though I'm sure this isn't a shocking revelation to some.
I'm just saying.
P.S. TITLES TITLES TITLES!
Well it's obvious, and obvious is my business haha. The reason I choose Bill is simply because he and I have beards, also he smokes. So the choice was clear. As for Cartoony Tim as Zoe, it's just funny.
Don't forget, the clock is ticking on submitting those titles. DO IT NOW!!!!
"A crack in the surface. A flaw in the plan. Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand. A cadence imperfect. Like a building condemned. Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against."
(Hairline Fracture, Rise Against)
Say Anything's finest "baseball but better". I thought it be a nice song for valentines day. Also it lent to a Cartoony Tim and Tim duet.
Happy V-Day all.
"If you could spare one of your nine lives we could ditch this coast, get in my car and drive."
(Baseball, But Better, Say Anything)
As always, I'm not making this up, it is a real app and it's not the only one, there are ones you have to pay for too haha. In one sitting I read all the lines that it offered, most were pretty weak.
One of the best that didn't make the comic(cause it wasn't funny) was on along the lines of make it my best day ever. Most of the rest were pretty ridiculous, and if said with a straight face, you may do okay. Two of the worst that ended on the cutting room floor were "If you were a booger I'd pick you first" and "Your eyes are as blue as my toilet water at home."
In an unrelated to this comic announcement. I plan to ask you, my loyal readers, to submit to me titles of comics. It can be about anything "Monkeys go ape" "victory over Athens" anything. If I think of something funny to go draw to it, it'll end up in the next comic. So start submitting your ideas. I will set a deadline at Sunday February 22. For no other reason that it's two Sundays from now. So please submit your ideas. I need em.
"We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons. But even then we should have stayed. But we ran away. Now all my friends gone. Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved."
(Audience of One, Rise Against)
Yea I sent out for jobs. Waiting to hear back.
Yup, I finally finished a 3-D portfolio. I think it's my best stuff. I posted on my art blog(which I haven't updated in 82 weeks apparently) so go here to check it out.
"Drown the pain with cheap champagne. And wake me when it's time to go. I'm far to faded to celebrate it. This clock is moving way too slow. One more year like this one. I could never make it on my own."
(Clown Cars On Cinder Blocks, Dillinger Four)
If you are lost and think you need context for this joke. I'm talking about lighting in my 3-D program. It's hard, don't know why, it's pretty straight forward but somehow it just doesn't always click. In any case I'm working on lighting my latest 3-d object. As soon as I'm done that, I think it's time to search for work. I'll have 8 pieces for my portfolio so I think it's time.
"I was out on the radio starting to change. Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain. Could you tell me one thing you remember about me. I remember me."
(Have You Seen Me Lately, Counting Crows)
Yup. Later.
"And stripes on fire, these hands are tired. I’m making plans to drink away all these words I can’t escape. I have to try to make you stay. Because I’m alone, stay with me this time."
(Hanging Marionette, Appleseed Cast)
I find it interesting I seem to talk about video games more then anything anymore. Strange.
It is an awesome album, if you like pop punk go get it.
"Yeah I'm stealing cigarettes. Selling them off to friends for rent. Plus a pay check and still in debt?"
(Minimum Wage Is A Gateway Drug, Dillinger Four)
