Well, it's finally feels like spring, man it's been a long winter. Sure, there was that week in early January where we had tornados, but man it was cold as the center of Hell the rest of the time. I haven't really had too much time lately to work on my projects, it's really getting annoying. Anyway, I accidently announced a little fan comic I've had bouncing around in my head, So I'm officially announcing;
Sonic The Hedgehog Vs. Army Of Darkness, fan-comic .
Following the Archie Sonic comics and Dynamite Army Of Darkness comics storylines, An Army Of Deadites march their way across Mobius terrorizing and turning all. Sonic, the Freedom Fighters, and The Chosen One from another universe fight this horde to try to acquire the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis to send the evil back.
Tales Of Modern Swordsman is still in early outlining and character design, this (Sonic The Hedgehog Vs. Army Of Darkness) will just help me get my creative juices flowing. It's length will be equivalent to a four to six issue mini-series (roughly 144 to 216 pages.). Acen is fast approaching (May 16th.), my hotel room is already booked for Saturday night, my money is budgeted. I just need to get a decent camera before I go. It's going to be so much fun. I was going to cosplay as my own character Bernhard Haupt, but I couldn't find a coat to pass as his, and it's too late for me to be anybody else, so I won't be cosplaying. Well, I might dye my hair blue, maybe.
I made another random video with cuzinoftheotherworld, here it is:

I also got few new things to help me in my film making, oh I can wait to hear what you'll think.
Travis "Never out of R007b33r or people will die" Dietrich wants to make a online series. More news on that later.
Anyway, that’s all for today..
Batman is (c) and TM, DC Comics. L (C) is Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata.

I wish I had a trench coat that instead of keeping me warm, it kept me cool. That way I can wear it in the summer, keeping me cool and comfortable, while making everyone around me feel even hotter.
News & Updates:
New Archives page starting with 04/29/08. Nothing else really besides that, oh, and a new video on my youtube for what that's worth.
Rant:This game winner is. . .procrastination!
So I've been busy lately. With the way my job is going, I just don't have to the energy anymore to do anything, rather it be physical or mental. Not that it's slowed my ideas, they'll always coming. It's getting them down on paper, or into a word-perfect format. What bothers me is that the things I've announced awhile ago are getting buried in these new ideas. And even when I get some time off (not that I want lower hours), I either want to get into town to run some errands, or catch up on my TV watching before somebody deletes my stuff off the DVR. I've been getting more Movie ideas lately then comic ideas. Which is cool, but while I find comics to be more time consuming, movies are a bit more difficult since I have a great lack of actors. I know a few guys other then R007b33r-guy and ChaosNinj4 to be actors, but I'm still limited of what I can do with a movie. Hopefully once I saved up the money and start taking film classes, I'll able to meet people to act for me.
I'm getting the hang of Sony Vegas now, but it will be awhile before I master it. I still don't have photoshop yet. Once I get it I'll make some stuff on cafepress, but don't hold your breath.

I've been meaning to get a motorcycle recently, but I haven't found the time to go to riding classes. They're filled up, but if there's a no-show I'll be able to get it if I'm there at the time. But yet again, my schedule.
My Mom is planning on taking us to Ohio in August, the time away from work would be nice, I'm long over due for a vacation. The last time I went on vacation it totally wiped out my writer's block. So I'm looking forward to this one, just need to save up enough money.

Here's something I made to experiment with Vegas:
That's All for this update, enjoy your summer.

It's been a long time. I blame society.
News & Updates:
New video on youtube, Generic Homicidal Maniac Vs. John Folkers Trailer. I opened a new forum, as well as Dreadful Dreams is back up at a new host.
Rant:It’s been long time coming, you illegitimates.
So I've been busy for awhile now, working full time now, having several projects, going to Ohio. Anyway, earlier this month I went to Ohio. It was a nice little vacation that I really needed. I got some work done on Generic Homicidal Maniac Vs. John Folkers, with a teaser trailer up now. And a bit more work on Tales of Modern Swordsmen: Universe Prime: The Possession Of the Flail. The comic has been tough to do just because how much time it takes, and most of the time I get sucked in for hours, which I can't really have my self do anymore. Though I just love working on movies, I hope to have Generic Homicidal Maniac Vs. John Folkers out by this Allhallows Eve.
I saw Alice Cooper the other night, it was just awesome, the best concert I've been to. I really should go to more shows then I do, it's not as much as time, since I can request time off for an event like that. It's money, unless it's someone I must see (Like Alice), I can't really justify spending fifty bucks to see something I could see better on DVD for $3.99 if I rent (around $20 if I buy). Know what I'm saying? I should be upgrading to Vegas 9 pro soon. That should give my movies a shot in the arm. So yep, that's about it.
You know, maybe it wasn't I good idea to bring the ending Phrase "A Place Where Nothing Happens" back. It seems to be bad luck to bring that old phrase back. What with it taking me nearly two months to update.

On the darkest of nights, you can hear him playing, no particular song. The sound of his playing rapes the dreams of pop singers, rap artist feel their tongues freeze, country musicians grip the neck of their guitars, and the Metal and Shock Rockers jam to the haunting licks.

No news today.

Rant: A gallon of corn syrup, three bottles of Chocolate syrup, red food dye, 8 rolls of duct type and *BAGELS*!!

Work of Generic Homicidal Manic Vs. John Folkers is going slow. I'm still going to try to have it out by Halloween. I've been working solid forty hour weeks, so I haven't been able to get much work done on anything. But once I can get everyone where they're suppose to be, it shouldn't take long to get filming done.

Hellsing OVA IV finally came out, and I just love it! Nothing was lost when they went to Funimation. All must definitely go out and buy this and support it! At some point I'm going to write a review, maybe do a video review. But later.

Anyway, works been hell. There's hardly anybody good there any more. Of course, I may not get any hours cut this winter because of it, but I'm not sure how much more my mind can take of it.
But really, if only we had better managers, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. If the economy was better I'd be out looking for another job. But most of the places I would rather work at would be more likely to go under, unlike  McDonalds. It fact, that place be just be the safest place to work with things being the way they are.

That's it for this update, no video this time around. I'll try to update again before Halloween.

So it's been what, two months? Well, GHM Vs. JF has been delayed royally. Just can't seem to get people together to do the last scene in the movie, Mostly because I have got chance to get a hold if anybody except at the last minute. They cut my hours at work, so I should a bit more planning time. Seriously, McDonald's drains your brain power. H**l, I can feel my neurons firing more efficiently the longer I'm not there. Anyway yes, I only need one more scene, the CLIMAX! No, not that kind of climax you perv
(Ignorant El Paso people). But since it's taking so long, I'm going to write an theme for the movie, and it's going to sound amateurish on purpose.

In the time since my last update, I got my hands on
Hellsing Vol.9 by Kohta Hirano( http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/15-491/Hellsing-Volume-9-TPB) and Trigun Maximum Vol. 13: Double Duel by Yasuhiro Nightow (http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/12-136/Trigun-Maximum-Vol-13-Double-Duel-TPB).
Oh Walter, Angel of Death, why can't I be mad at you. What you did, what you been doing, so why do I just see you being more awesome then I could ever think you could be. You’re a rival for Alucard in coolness. And Livio the Double Fang, you came along from seemly from no where, and into our hearts. Now my personal opinion, you're no substitute for Wolfwood, there will only be one Wolfwood. But if you're okay in Nightow's book, you're good in mines.

Hellsing Vol. 9 by  Kohta Hirano: a four, out of five.
Trigun Maximum Vol. 13: Double Duel by Yasuhiro Nightow : a five out of five!

Now I forgot if I mention this, but I started a web forum for gamers around central Illinois.
So check it out: http://centralilduelists.hyperboards.com/ .
Also, Dreadful Dreams is back up under HyperBoards. And I would love it if some people came around to bring it back to life, especially old members of the forum.

I'll try to update again this month, either on Christmas eve, or right after.
Happy Holidays!

In near future, the violent city Peoria is infested with gangbangers, thugs, mobsters and the such. The police are either too corrupt or too under funded to be of any use. But there are those who fight against the senseless violence. One is a woman of astonishing strength, she carries a hammer, and all of those who stand against her fall. She was given the nickname "Daughter of Thor!" and She sings as she fights;". . .open Valhalla's doors! Let battle begin, with sword wind! Hail gods of. . ." as she crushes her enemies.

Nothing new to report. GHMvs.JF still in post-production limbo.

: Screw your internets, I has a Mcjob to take my time.
Well hello. It's been far too long. But there hasn't really been much to write about. Yes, GHMvsJF is still in post-production limbo. Please don't ask what's wrong, even I'm a little fuzzy on that. I'll get to you when it's done. It's not like what I need to do is hard, just tedious and time consuming. And I haven't really had time to just sit, think, and draw it out.

I decided I will only go Saturday at Acen, instead of the whole weekend. There's just too much bulls*** about getting the hotel. Most of them require you to be twenty-one to check in. What the ****, I can drive, own property, get married, go to war, and vote persons to any office. Why do I have to be a little older to get a stupid hotel. But it'll save me a couple hundred dollars, and it's not like there's much to do on the last day of the con anyway. It would be fun driving in the early morning anyway, before the sun raises.

My car took a crap on me the other day. I didn't know what was wrong, but by the way it acted, I thought maybe in was my fuel injector, maybe my head-gasket cracked, but you know what it was? My cruise control line broke. Of all things, that was the last thing I would of thought of. I wouldn't really care if I lost my cruise, but apparently it being broken is making 3 of my cylinders to malfunction. I hate it when such small things, create such disruptive problems. Oh well, my return money is paying it, but I wanted to spend that money on something fun, or maybe put it away to grow. But no, it goes to fix some stupid car problem. Withheld by the government, for a year, then as I get it back. There it goes, but that's life. 

Oh, the woman in the Picture of the update to the right of this (or below if your reading this in the Archives) is From Tales of Modern Swordsmen. Yep, I didn't forget about it. I'm still working on characters for the stories, and on the universe they reside in. Tell me what you think of her, I haven't given her a name yet, I was thinking of Thora, but it's too much of a pun.
Trigun vol. 14 is out, but I haven't got it yet. But I'll probably talk about it next time I update. If I do that again anytime soon.

Until next time.
