Roommate's dropped big news on me. One of my roommates is skipping out on us, and because of this, we gotta find a new home. Kinda sucks. I was just getting comfortable here.
I've been denying so many of my poor ol' blogs recently. I have to many to keep track of, and I don't really know why, other then a desperate grab for exposure of my comic art, that I ever signed up for so many. A livejournal, a myspace, a comicspace, and the SG blog that all get lost in the shuffle of me working on my website. I'd probably write a lot more if I had a life worth talking about. Though I notice on the weeks I'm the most bored and I have the least to actually comment on are the only times I ever seem to write. So I leave behind a rambling mess of nothing that no one ever really reads.
I guess my entire existence feels like it's on cruise control at this point. I work. I make money. I pay the bills. I waste whatever's left on DVD's and videogames that I barely ever watch or play because I'm too busy spending my free time working and scraping to get my comics noticed.
My life is not one filled with misery. I have good friends I see often. I usually hit the movie theaters nearly every weekend. I live in a decent, albiet messy, little house that I like. So I guess I'm somewhat content with my basic existence. There's millions of people with much worse problems then me, so I think I'm doing ok. But underneath it all, man, I want more. I want a lot more. And I don't have any idea how to get it. And that's the problem. No matter what I have now, it's not where I want to be. And I don't want to lose my dreams and settle into being just another tiny little cog in the machine of life. I want to be more then that. I want to be the central processor. Or the Master Control Program, like the orange cone thing in TRON.
A guy can dream, right?
End of Line.

I'm bored and tired. Looking at pictures of naked ladies makes me feel a little better. But I still feel like my life is missing something. And all the lovely nudity in the world isn't going to change that. I dunno. It's been becoming incredibly obvious to me that I'm going through a point in my life where I really, really need to decide what the fuck I want to make out of myself before I'm too old to give a shit anymore.

I'm feeling pretty sick and tired right now. Last night I was so incredibly tired that I passed out face down on the couch after watching my roommate play Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle on the Wii. I was awoken by a pug and a puggle stomping on my head licking my face, and then I can't sleep for real. So now it's a new morning and I still feel like shit.
I'm sad, because even though Grindhouse was awesome, unfortunately, it's already considered a box office flop. It only made 11 million opening weekend and made less money then mother fucking Are We Done Yet? They're apparantly going to release the movies as seperate films internationally to help recoup their losses. That's really too bad, because it was a pretty fucking amazing movie event and I had a blast, and I hate seeing legitimately cool things fail.
My new website, I HEART DISAPPOINTMENTis going well so far. It's first month had a little over 2300 visitors, which is way higher then my old website's first month got when it first started. Most of the feedback has been positive, which is cool. Right now I'm in the character introduction phase, and I can't wait until I can get most of that over and done with so I can start writing the parts I'm really looking forward to drawing. I know I shill this thing all the time and a lot of people may not care at all, but I really love doing comics and drawing things for fun. My life is pretty fucking boring most of the time, and I feel like I'm getting at least something out of my life when I create. I'd love to make a living doing it, but if I can't then I hope I can still keep doing it as a hobby.
I'm going through another "I hate my job" phase, mainly because they're introducing a new standardized dress code that requires me to basically buy a whole new wardrobe clothes and colors I don't particularly like. I'm not a blue shirt, tan khakis kind of guy. Maybe I should get a job as a wacky t-shirt designer. I hear that the money's decent and it doesn't require any talent or originality. If you don't get what I'm taking about, read Roman Dirge's livejournal post about "artist" Todd Goliath. It's a blow by blow account of plagiarism of the most obvious degree.
I'm going to Anime Boston with the pals this year again. Missed the pre-registration cut off date, we all did, so I guess it's the line for us. It'll be fun, though.

The world is a sad place when "Are We Done Yet?" makes more money opening weekend then "Grindhouse."
It's past 1 AM on a Monday night and I'm bored. I could go to sleep, but I just don't want to. It's more then likely no one is reading this, but I feel like writing something. So here I am. I Heart Disappointment is doing well, even though I've only been updating it for three weeks. That feels good. I like drawing and I missed doing it for the couple months I slowed down there. Though I don't miss having artist block like I had tonight. That's why I joined 18,000 groups tonight (Ok, more like 6, but who's counting, right?).
I'm obsessed with Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job! right now.
I'm looking forward to the new Modest Mouse album. The new Nine Inch Nails album, too.
300 is the most bad ass film of the year so far. I can't wait for Grindhouse, because that looks bad ass as well.
I'm going to see TMNT this weekend. I remember meeting Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird when I was a little kid and I cried because I was nervous. But they signed my first issue of Mirage's TMNT and Eastman told me my Calvin and Hobbes shirt was cool and I immediately felt better. But anyway, yeah, I still have a soft spot for the the Turtles so I wll be seeing it with my other dork friends this weekend.
God of War 2 is one of the coolest games ever. Play it. Or Kratos will kill you and not even bat an eye over it.
Death Note is a great manga. I need volume 15 of Berserk.
Ok. I think I'm done for tonight. I think I've let my brain spill enough.

Quick stupid bullshit post.
I've come to the realization that I suck ass at striking up conversations with people I don't know. Damn you social awkwardness!
Looking forward to 300 this weekend. And the release of God of War 2 next week. The power of Sparta can not be contained in one week of entertainment releases alone. It's far too sweaty and MAN.
My roommate's pug is adorable. Saw a picture of Rob Zombie's pug wearing a t-shirt that his wife (girlfriend?)sells. I want to buy said pug sized t-shirt for my roomate's pug.
PS3 Home sounds really cool and is the first thing announced for the PS3 that makes me want to own one. I want to make me and use my avatar to annoy people, just like in real life. I'd wait until the end of the year to buy one of these overpriced monstrosities, but there's a good chance by then the backwards compatibility for PS2 games is going to be using different, cheaper, but unfortunately less inclusive emulation software instead of the current way they are handling it (by basically including a whole PS2 inside). The 360 uses emulation for it's backwards compatibility and has pretty much proved that it's a shitty route to go overall. I really want to be able to play all my old games on the thing. It's virtually a lock that my PS2 will die. Already killed a couple.
I want sushi. But it's too late and the sushi restaurant I live behind is closed and that makes me sad.
I bored of writing now. Good night party people. I leave you with the most awesome opening sequence to an anime ever.
Read I HEART DISAPPOINTMENT. Only one update so far. But there'll be more! Promise!

Heyho. My roommate was bored and wanted to watch a movie. He wanted to watch The Prestige, but I just watched it less then a week ago, so he decided we should watch something else instead. So we watched The Marine. The WWE movie starring John Cena. My god. It's like they took Cena, hopped in a time machine, went back into the 80's, made a movie, then returned it to modern times to unleash it upon us. Every 80's action movie cliche was alive and well. I probably wouldn't have sat through the whole thing if it wasn't so mesmerizingly cheese.
He is now watching the Suicide Girls on Showtime, by the way.
Finally got around to seeing the Tenacious D movie last night, as I missed it in the theaters (it was there for what, maybe 2 weeks?). Classic. Fucking classic. It was one of the few movies that I actually sat and watched all the extras for, turning into less of a hour and half movie into a nearly four hour event. Obviously, Tenacious D is funny, but the involvement of Director Liam Lynch only helped make it more awesomely rad. I've enjoyed Liam Lynch's stuff ever since I randomly discovered Sifl & Olly at 4 in the morning on MTV years ago, and it's just too bad that his work doesn't seem to make any money, because it's great and I'd love to see more of it.
Finished Crackdown this past weekend. Amazing game, though I really hope they have some downloadable game content soon, because it's way too fun to end when it does. I hope that if you're one of those people who bought it for the included Halo 3 beta that you at least give the game a fair shot. Building a character into a building bounding, ace sharpshooting, master exploding monster of a cop through iron-fisted law enforcement is classic fun.
Oh yeah, my website
I HEART DISAPPOINTMENT is up. Shameless plugging FTW.
