For the few of you who don't know...

I have a myspace page now. Why? because I'm weak. http://www.myspace.com/tsgarp524. This is still my primart blog, but I tend to copy paste stuff to myspace as well.

Fuck Iowa/Iowa State Weekend

This is, hands down, the worst fucking weekend in Iowa City. Every jackass in iowa flocks to this town, and every jackass already here is working three times as hard to piss me off. I wish both teams had somehow lost so the none of the assholes would be happy.

The story

So, I got home from work today at 5ish, ate some food, watched some west wing, and then spent some time fucking around online. Something (I don't know what) started a train of thought that led to a cool idea for a short story. I have wanted for a while to attempt to write a comic, I just don't have the artistic skill to actually draw it. So I begin writing my ideas for the story. My story turned into 14 pages of scrawled notes about a fictional country including its government, demographics, architectural influences, geography, economics and social problems. My original story idea has turned into an introduction to a fake country that will leave me with the ablity to write all sorts of stories during all sorts of time periods. I'm gonna have some friends who know more about certain subjects look over some of this stuff and give their input over how intelligent they think it is, but if I can script out some actual dialogue and get a decent artist interested, I think this can go somewhere. Even if I don't do anything with it, its nice to be doing something productive, I haven't really worked toward creating anything since I've dropped out of school, this project is emotionally energizing.

Change of plans

I've abandoned my aforementioned large post. The outline is saved and may be continued at a later time. I have a cool idea for a fiction short story that I'm messing around with. I might be talking about this to a friend who can draw (to turn this into a comic) at a later time. For now I need to figure out the storyline specifics.

I'm kind of excited about this.

Ugh

Well, The big post isn't really coming along all that well. I know what I want to say, and have it in a sort of outline format ready to go, but transfering it to readable text is less easy. It doesn't help that I've been consistantly sleep deprived the last 4 days. Not enough sleep, but not able to fall asleep at a decent time when I have to work in the morning. I have trouble falling asleep, I have had this problem on and off for the last 4 years. Dropping out of school helped quite a bit, but when stress pops up in other aspects of my life it becomes a problem again (which doesn't help my stress any). Monday and Tuesday are off for me, I'll catch up on my rest and try to pick it up again.
