Ten Things Humans Do

10 Things I Hate About my Life
by Andrew Deavin (Andy)

  1. I'm still only human.
  2. The person I depended on the most has cut off communication completely; she'll never know what she truly means to me.
  3. Sometimes I pick the wrong words and they get me into trouble. Lack of communication.
  4. I enjoy being emotionally hurt by her.
  5. I enjoy being humiliated by her.
  6. Sometimes I agree to do things I don't want to do...
  7. My comic book series is failing because I forgot to do any work on it.
  8. Exams.
  9. Not studying for exams.
  10. I always run out of space on my Top 10 lists.
Seriously. Janani, if you're reading this; why is there no reply. I'm gonna work on this Graphic Novel while I'm being fueled by this anger.

Ode

I love the time-lapse footage of these clouds. Life goes on, the big cosmic dance that is human life will continue dancing. Night turns to day; day turns to night. And even though the inside of my head is being torn apart by uninvited images and thoughts, in the end, life is life.

And life is perfect.

Melancholia

Recently discovered Tindeck (a website). Here's a Live recording I played last night while I was feeling sad.

Maintaining the Blog

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-"
"Shut up."
"But -"
"Shut up. You dragged on a one-syllable word for more than 3 seconds."
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yes. I did."
"And there you did it again."
"Yeah, I suppose I did. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-"
"For God's sake!"
Tim stood up from his desk, rattling it so that soon the neatly aligned papers were spread not-so neatly across the floor. Bob, afraid of what he was actually doing, decided to stand up, and confront Tim.*

*Tim, by the way, is totally not an allegory for Janani. Bob is definately not an allegory for Andrew. Moving on.

"Well, I am sorry," Bob said. "I just think too much."
"Do you have to make it so deafeningly audible?" Tim complained.
"I suppose not," Bob, uh... supposed, as he blushed and sat back down.
"No, Bob, keep standing up," Tim demanded.
"Nah," said Bob, yawning. "I'm tired."
"Is that how you're going to finish this? By sitting back down and going to sleep?" Tim said, with a copious amount of sarcasm.
"Dude," said Bob. "You're the one that made me tired in the first place."
"How so..." Tim pondered, looking off to the window, onto to remember: ah yeah, this place doesn't have windows.
"I was having fun, pondering out loud, then you made me stop," Bob said.
"Yeah, well. That's hardly a fitting metaphor. You - hey. This story makes absolutlely no sense, does it?" Tim suddenly realised. He also questioned why he was suddenly wearing a Mexican hat.
"Hey, weird stuff happens in fiction," Bob said, now dressed in a suave suit, and weilding a Uzi.
"What's the Uzi for...?" Tim questioned, now also wondering how the Mexican hat was now filled with what smelled like tuna fish. Mmmm, yummy tuna fish.
"No freakin' idea, but there are zombies outside, and a hell of a lot of crates to smash open," Bob said, triumphantly, and he stood up, jumped out the window, killed all the zombies, and then went and updated his blog with what could possibly be the most hilariously retarded story ever written.

Note from the author: my medication isn't working. :(

Gotta Knock a Little Harder



Happiness is just a word to me
And it might have meant a thing or two
If I'd known the difference

Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference

Always keepin' safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in

Let me tell you some have tried
But I would slam the door so tight
That they could never get in

Kept my cool under lock and key
And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condidtion

Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run
The main events at my confession

I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Cain
Into a blind submission

The burning ghost without a name
Was calling all the same
But I wouldn't listen

The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire

The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
Had totalled my existnce

Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse that this
But could I go the distance

I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of chain
Until they all were broken

But no matter how I tried
The other side was locked so tight
That door it wouldn't open

Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
I just gotta get through the door

And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
I just gotta break through the door

Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Break through the door

Me and the T1000 :D

Well, the title of this blog posts makes it sound like I saw Terminator: Salvation, and I'm going to do a review on it right now.

Well, haha, Internet! That's not true at all. I've simply been bumming around 'n all and I've had some pretty interesting stuff happen. So maybe I'll share it with you. If you quit fidgeting. Maybe.

I'll condense my life into 5 easy to read dot points.

1. I'm writing an ex-Graphic Novel (now a 30-page "comic book", grrr).
2. I recently upgraded my shithouse of a computer and now it's slightly less shithouse! (22'' screen and 2.5GB of RAM? Yay!!)
3. I'm still getting over that... that person. Who I fell in love with. But I'm getting over her in a "I'm about to rent a tractor and ram straight through this brick wall" way. And I'll be keeping every brick I can to build a house. And in that house there will be a room full of monkeys, writing on typewriters, who will hopefully build a better analogy than this one involving houses.
4. I'm attempting to learn a new art style, and that is MANGA. (Big surprise, I was doing this a few months ago...) I really hate people who say it "that" way, though. Y'know, talking down on it, or whatever. It's just comic books. (Well actually, for me, it's just a way of drawing realistic people in a slightly less-than-real way. In the rare case I ever write a script that the Comix, Inc. crew (or whatever) can't physically perform in.)
5. And I've been writing music. A lot more often than usual. Lots of remixes of people's voices. Doesn't count as music? Meh.

And that's my life in a nutshell, Internet. Oh! I've been watching lots of anime, too. Like, unhealthy amounts. And I'm going to buy Prototype tomorrow, cos it looks like a fun game. And there was a jazz concert last night that me and my brother performed in.

Guh. Looks like my life is bigger than previously anticipated.

What do You Mean, "One Frame at a Time?"

This is fantastic. Garry Newman says so. And I'd agree.
