My Hobbies include drawing, videogames, Rachel, anime, playing guitar, hanging out with friends, writing poetry/songs, god, and theology. I am a very deep person, or so I have been told. In the summer, I like to walk to an area of the woods behind my house, and lay in the soft grass while watching the clouds blow over. I really like Thunderstoms, and my favorite look any of the seasons have to offer is when all the tree's are frozen with ice. In the winter, I like snowbaording, spring I like to hike, and summer being out in the sun at the lake with my friends. We go to this place known as the oval and have parties. I didn't say fall because i hate fall. I hate death. Fall is ugly after the leaves go, and everything is dead. Even the air. I hide during this time.
My goals are to become a Web Designer and GraphX Artist. I want to one day publish my own comic and productions site.

Listening to:
My life has been one giant blur in the last month and a half or so...
A while back I got food poisoning and I ended up staying in bed in this psuedo-coma state. After about 48 hours of no food, throwing up even water, and practically nonstop sleeping, I had dropped over 10 lbs.
The morning after I had food poisoning, the gas station got robbed, and Rachel was the one running the register. It wasn't until 3-4 hours AFTER that I found this out because of me being disconnected from the world.
I finished school with a breeze for once. Finals week didn't stress me out at all, and I remained at the top of both of my classes.
Work is still going. Soon, Rachel and I will have a car, that way we can traverse around easier. Oh we also got a puppy. She is a Beagle/Boxer mix I think. Not quite entirely sure on it though. She has one brown eye and one blue eye, so we named her Yuna, after the Final Fantasy X Heroine.
Right now I am enjoying my 5 day vacation from work. Rachel and I are sitting here at my mothers house, enjoying being back with the family.
It's hard to believe that in about 2 1/2 weeks, I will be 22. I am reallystartingto feel old, as I see many kids I knew growing up who are seniors in High School. Kids who have always looked really young in my eyes.
Heh...
Before I know it, Cody will be graduating.

Listening to: Hoobastank: Every Man For Himself (The First of Me)
Wow, I have neglected my life documentation as of late. Been busy though, ya know?
Now that I think back, it has been a long time. Christmas came and went. No white Christmas this year, but it was compensated with the time I got to spend with my family, who I really miss. I haven't been home since Christmas. I devote myself to my job, school and afterwards, I retire the night with some videogames. I was in hibernation mode through this last few months. You would be lucky to see me step out of my house on my free time.
Occasionally I would go to the mall. I have a new Nintendo DS that Mom got me for Xmas. Rachel plays it more than I do though! I can't pry her off of it. So while she enjoyed trying to beat the new Final Fantasy III before I could, I replayed Final Fantasy XII, which IMO, is one of the best games I have ever played. The second time through was just as good as the first, if not better. I caught more of the storyline and experienced it better because I knew what was going on (it's a game about waring empires, and politics, with constant reference to other cultures you don't learn full about untill the end of the game). I finally finished it my second time through tonight for Rachel, so she could watch the end of the game. I have Dave hooked on it now as well (which says a lot, he isn't a big fan of console games).
This last week, after years of waiting, and a month and a half of hunting for it, I got my hands on a copy of the SNES port to Gameboy of Final Fantasy VI. It has been 10 years since I have played that game, and it is bringing back a lot of memories. I also picked up the port of Final Fantasy IV, thus completing my Final Fantasy Collection, exluding Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation One.
Rachel and Dave both work at the gas station now. I worry about Rei. She is dedicated to the Gas Station as much as I am. Helping out when we stop in to pick up smokes, or something to drink. Coming in when they need a hand. It wears on me, but she is taking 2 more classes than I am and working another part time job. Her and I never get to spend any time together anymore, and we share the same bed... she is exhausting herself. That girl is a warrior.
School is going great. I am one of the top students in my College Math and Digital Illustration classes. I am also one of the best employees at my job (so says my management). I get along great with new management. They are really cool people. Sue is my store manager, and Kim and Lesa are assistants. Sue kinda reminds me of my own mother because of how she doesn't take shit from anyone. lol, even if she is far right wing republican, she is pretty cool. Kim is a year younger than me, so I like to pick on her when she is being an airhead (which is often... lol... I will prolly receive crap from her at work now) >.>
So over all life is rolling through the days without slowing down any. Today we hit 65 degrees and it was beautiful out. I have the window open now and enjoying being able to sit around in my tank top without freezing. I feel revitalized, and motivated. Hopefully all this energy lasts through the next week, when I can finally return to Shelby and see my family. I miss them dearly.
Joey and Cody's birthdays are coming up. I will prolly go out to the mall and birthday shop for them. That is one of the reasons for me to return home. The other is because I need to see my family. I am going crazy being cut off from everyone I care about. I am stealing Rachel that weekend too. Hopefully... that is. Her second job might not be so gracious as to let her go with out a problem. *grumbles*
Well, I guess I am going to end this, close my laptop and open my gameboy and retire for the night. Just letting everyone know I am still alive, kickin, and cocky as ever.

Castlevania: The Movie
Listening to:The Bagel Shop Radio
So my brother emailed me today, with some of the best news in a long time. Well, something I can look forward to that is. These articles are from ign.com:
Anderson Discusses Castlevania
Will Simon Belmont "whip it good?" How much involvement will Konami have? Answers within. by Chris Carle
June 29, 2006 - Paul W.S. Anderson has made a career of transmuting the world of videogames to the silver screen. His resume includes Mortal Kombat and the Resident Evil films, and he's currently working on adaptations of Castlevania and the Atari hit Driver. In short, he is the perfect keynote speaker for a conference entitled the "Hollywood and Video Games Summit." We caught up with him at this event recently and asked him about the upcoming Castlevania film.
"It's going to explain how the Belmont clan and Dracula first come into contact, so in a way, it's going to be a genesis story of the clash between the Belmonts and Dracula," Anderson explained. "It's going to span the ages as well, which is one of the fun things about the games. There are Castlevania games in the 1500s, there are Castlevania games in the Second World War, there are Castlevania in the future, and we're going to take the same kind of approach. It's going to be a very mythic story spanning hundreds of years, but the key characters are going to be Dracula and Simon Belmont. And the whip is going to be intact, although there'll be lots of other weaponry as well."
When asked what aspects of the game he would retain, Anderson answered, "I was a big fan of Castlevania originally as a 2D game. I think it's had a very patchy transition into 3D, although the last two 3D games have been pretty damn good. What I particularly liked about the last two games has been the artwork that's accompanied them. I think it's got a very lush, Romantic, gothic look to it, and that's very much going to be the look of the movie. And also, the music is excellent. I think that's a very strong aspect of the videogames, and that's something we're very keen [on]."
Fans of the game may wonder how much input Konami, the game maker, will have in the production. Addressing this question, Anderson responded, "Whenever I get involved in a videogame adaptation, I sit down with the people that created it, and we sat down and had a very big meeting with Konami, and I got complimented on my use of chopsticks, so I got respect. We talked about the things we wanted to keep intact. Very much, it was the artwork and it was the music, so if we can use the same composer, I think we will try to."
Anderson is currently in the middle of production on Resident Evil: Extinction, and then will turn his attentions to Castlevania. For more information on the film as it develops, keep your browser pointed to IGN FilmForce.
Rogue Playing Castlevania
New game-to-film adaptation details emerge! by IGN Staff
November 2, 2006 - Rogue Pictures has hooked up with genre filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson and Crystal Sky Entertainment to help bring the classic videogame Castlevania to the big screen. Rogue, according to today's Variety will distribute the $50 million film in North America. Dimension Films, who had been previously linked with the project, dropped the movie after they failed to warm up to Anderson's script.
So yeah... I am getting chills just thinking about it. I just finished Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. Ironically, the Morris family is now the wielders of the legendary Vampire Killer Whip. It is in my blood, I have been destined to be a Castlevania fan. I always have been since that day way back when I was about 5....

Rogue, according to today's Variety will distribute the $50 million film in North America. Dimension Films, who had been previously linked with the project, dropped the movie after they failed to warm up to Anderson's script.
A number of new details have emerged about the Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat filmmaker's approach to the project. Anderson's script reportedly spans many time periods but mostly takes place in 15th century Transylvania. The movie is described as a fresh take on the Dracula legend, taking it back to the beginning with the story of Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler.
"You could almost call this movie Dracula Begins, Anderson told Variety.
Rogue co-president Andrew Rona says the movie is an "action/horror project in the vein of Underworld and Blade." He adds that the studio is hoping to turn Castlevania into a franchise.
Benedict Carver, president of co-backer Crystal Sky, says, "This is not what you'd call a typical videogame movie, it's a legend with a strong romantic element."
As in the game, much of the movie's drama is expected to be played out within Dracula's castle, a story element that appeals to Anderson. "Ever since I made Event Horizon, I've been obsessed with the idea of a location that's a character in the story, of being trapped in an environment that's out to get you," Anderson told the trade.
Anderson also says that the game's gothic visuals and eerie music will serve as his inspiration for the look and sound of the film.
Locations are reportedly being scouted in Hungary and Romania for a possible shoot starting in the spring. The castle set will be built in Budapest.

Math in the US
Listening to: Nothing... in the Library
The Evolution of Math in the United States
Last week I purchased a burger and fries at McDonalds for $3.58.
The counter girl took my $4.00 and I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies. While looking at the screen on her register, I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this?
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s...
Teaching Math In 1950
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math In 1990
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)

No time. No Updates. No Life.
Listening to: My iPod.
I can't wait until December. About another 4 weeks. 4 weeks until I am done with this semester and I have a month off to concentrate on mysefl, family, Rachel, and work.
Lately it seems time is of the essence. Rush Rush Rush. That's all I do anymore. In the midst of rushing around, I stop and check my email on my laptop. No time or journal updates, chatting, and the other good things like surfing the net.
A lot has happened though, in what seems like the blink of an eye.
Well, I am at the top of my photo class. I am setting the bell curve which is amazing. Illustration is one of those classes where I have slept through it 5 mondays in a row. Jon, my teacher doesn't care though. he likes my work and when he comes over to check on me (when I do show up) he compliments me and doesn't have to sit and talk about what I need to do. He says he see's a lot of progress taking place with me. This is one of those things that make people feel confident.
So why am I missing so much class? Work. That gas station is basackwards. I usually work 5-12am ever day. 7 hours. Not bad eh? BUT... we actually only get paid for 6 hours a day because we have to take an hour worth of breaks. Sometimes, we are so busy we don't ever get to our breaks. She still takes them out regardless though. This also adds up to people never getting a full 40 hours a week unless they work everyday. So I work as much as I can to pay bills and buy art supplies. My days off usually are on the days I have school so in essence, I have no day off.
For those who know me, I am sarcastic and not affraid to say what's on my mind. Well, about 2 weeks ago (Wednesday) I got suspended from work for a week. Zach and Jeffrey were in the office and they were on the work phone talking to me on my cell phone while I was up behind Register One. I knew they were next to the camera monitor so I turned around, looked into the security camera and flipped them off.
The next day I wake up to a voicemail saying I was on suspension for my behaviour at work the night before. My boss didn't have a problem with it though. I heard she even chuckled. That is until her boss called. Our store is under review because we have a big sum of cigs missing from stock. Her boss, Margo, has the videofeeds connected to her laptop. I did not know this. She saw this and so did corp. Thus, Vicky had to take disciplinary action. I am just glad I didn't loose my job over it. Although I did reep some benefits to this.
I became a hero to some of those at work. *chuckles* Ballsy. I also got a week long vacation where I went home for two days. Jared had his going away party. He is now in Iraq. Not just a good bye party though. A Kekgar, costume party, with a bunch of people there. He made a FUGLY woman. Joe went as a streaker. *laughs* A goodone at that too. I went as a pirate. We had such a great time. The following morning we went to breakfast at the bakery and enjoyed each others company at a meal one last time for about 2 years. I will miss him.
Did I mention he will be a daddy in May?
FINAL FANTASY XII came out last week. Of course, I had my reservation already made a year before. I went to the mall and stood in line waiting for it to be released at Midnight. I was number 5 in line. The four guys in front of me were talking of going to TGI for a beer after getting their claim slip. It sounded like a plan to me, but I didn't have anymore money after that event. So they all chipped in to bring me along for a beer.
The free time I have had I have spent playing FFXII this last week. It's one of those games it's hard to pull yourself away from because you want to know what happens next in the story line. the battle system is a lot like Final Fantasy XI, which revolutionizes FF style game play. For better or for worse? It's all opinion.
Right now I am supposed to be in Jon's Illustration class, but I don't have a photo reference I need to start my water color. Meh, so I will ust start it wednesday. not like I have other classes to worry about right now anyway. Except photo... but I need my paycheck Thursday to get the film I need.
OH YEAH! I got an iPod Video for $50. You gotta love crack heads.
Right now our internet is off. --_-- This is iritating because Rachel and I gave Dave the money for the last two months and he hasn't paid either bills. So that means he has been pocketing the money to fund his club hopping and eating out/going out with everyone he meets from work. Well, he isn't going to squeeze any money out of us until the net is back on.
Another thing that is REALLY annoying me is he always seems to think he can use other people personal products. Brushes, shaving cream, body spray, cologne, gel, hats, etc etc. he NEVER chips in though. The last 3 times Rachel has beeen the one to buy economy size toilet paper packs. Rachel also has a hat that belongs to her best friend. Dave recently made a habit of going into our room to fetch it to wear it to work or the club. I told him Rachel didn't want him using it anymore because it wasn't hers. Well, last weekend she came home and he was getting ready to go out with some girls from work. He had the hat. BUSTED. To get the hat that means he ad to of gone through our room to find it, and the fact that he completly disregards OUR property that we asked him not to use. Or if I say he can use my computer, just turn it off when he is done using it, then he DOESN'T. I changed my password because I was sick of it.
Rachel and I have resulted in buying our own personal groceries and storing them in our fridge and cupboard so they don't get consumed.
*Sizzles* grrrr..... I lost it in a tangent. Oh well. The end of the lease Rachel and I are thinking of finding a place, just the two of us. Dave has a bunch of friends he can room up with here in GR. It's time I broke away and moved on with my life and I think Rachel feels the same way.
her and I are pretty serious. We get a long great and even after being with each other EVERYDAY in and out, we still love being with each other.
I suppose I should go. Class just walked by. Must be that time.

It sounded like a plan to me, but I didn't have anymore money after that event. So they all chipped in to bring me along for a beer.
The free time I have had I have spent playing FFXII this last week. It's one of those games it's hard to pull yourself away from because you want to know what happens next in the story line. the battle system is a lot like Final Fantasy XI, which revolutionizes FF style game play. For better or for worse? It's all opinion.
Right now I am supposed to be in Jon's Illustration class, but I don't have a photo reference I need to start my water color. Meh, so I will ust start it wednesday. not like I have other classes to worry about right now anyway. Except photo... but I need my paycheck Thursday to get the film I need.
OH YEAH! I got an iPod Video for $50. You gotta love crack heads.
Right now our internet is off. --_-- This is iritating because Rachel and I gave Dave the money for the last two months and he hasn't paid either bills. So that means he has been pocketing the money to fund his club hopping and eating out/going out with everyone he meets from work. Well, he isn't going to squeeze any money out of us until the net is back on.
Another thing that is REALLY annoying me is he always seems to think he can use other people personal products. Brushes, shaving cream, body spray, cologne, gel, hats, etc etc. he NEVER chips in though. The last 3 times Rachel has beeen the one to buy economy size toilet paper packs. Rachel also has a hat that belongs to her best friend. Dave recently made a habit of going into our room to fetch it to wear it to work or the club. I told him Rachel didn't want him using it anymore because it wasn't hers. Well, last weekend she came home and he was getting ready to go out with some girls from work. He had the hat. BUSTED. To get the hat that means he ad to of gone through our room to find it, and the fact that he completly disregards OUR property that we asked him not to use. Or if I say he can use my computer, just turn it off when he is done using it, then he DOESN'T. I changed my password because I was sick of it.
Rachel and I have resulted in buying our own personal groceries and storing them in our fridge and cupboard so they don't get consumed.
*Sizzles* grrrr..... I lost it in a tangent. Oh well. The end of the lease Rachel and I are thinking of finding a place, just the two of us. Dave has a bunch of friends he can room up with here in GR. It's time I broke away and moved on with my life and I think Rachel feels the same way.
her and I are pretty serious. We get a long great and even after being with each other EVERYDAY in and out, we still love being with each other.
I suppose I should go. Class just walked by. Must be that time.

Grump Alpha Male
Listening to:
It has been nearly two months since I have seen my family, or visited home. I have been getting to the point where I am really grumpy, warn out, and home sick. Grand Rapids is nice, but sometimes you need to break away from the city. Away from your normal everday life.
I really don't mean to be such a grump either. It's just I hate living in a pattern. I hate living life like I am on one track and not going anywhere. That includes those I interact with everyday.
I love my roomates, especially Rachel, but sometimes I just need to break away from both of them and do something that doesn't involve them. It's not to say to cut them out of my life. I just sometimes feel suffocated and I can't even break away when I am back in Shelby. I hate sitting on the phone anymore. My phone pisses me off because it gets REALLY warm and the signal pick up SUCKS ASS on it.
Things are going fairly well though. School is going by alright. I am almost a month into school. Work is paying off nicely even though my boss needs to just get a consistant schedule for all of us. Work is pissing me off with the 3rd to 2nd to 1st all in a three day span. This leaves me NO TIME. Every waking hour I spend in that god damn gas station it seems anymore. I am making money, but loosing my mind. I can't wait to have a full staff. Rachel and I have to splice our time together. Which means I have to splice my homework time and freetime for my own enjoyment at the same time.
Rachel has strep throat. It amazes me I am not coughing up a storm like she has been. I do however have a pounding headache from hell. I think maybe I am grumpy because I may be coming down with something, and my body is fighting it off, while at the same time wearing itself out.
I finally finished The Prince of Persia Series on PS2. It is one of those games you really enjoy but at times can piss you off because the game programming messes up (2 was notorious for it). I could see myself replaying it in the future.
I bought Rachel a really nice Leather Jacket last week. She looks super hot in it.
I love that woman. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with her. She is a sweet heart and my brother and mother and her are close too. That means a lot to me. I feel like shit for being so grump with her lately. I just wish she wasn't so dependant on me when I go away. I miss her but I prioritize my time compared to what I usually spend time on. I'll make it up to her somehow.
*yawn* I suppose I should go. Finish my laundry and get home.
