All American yet funky, you inspire an artist's imagination

You Are Homer Simpson

You're just an ordinary, all-American working Joe...
With a special fondness for pork rinds and donuts.
You will be remembered for: your little "isms" and philosophies on life
Your life philosophy: "Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel."


Woho!

What American City Am I?

You Are Austin

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.

Austen, Texas. I wanted to be San Fransisco.

If My Life Was A Movie, what Kind Would It Be?

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.
Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski


I am pleased with what I ended up with in this test.

What Pie Am I?

You Are Apple Pie

You're the perfect combo of comforting and traditional
Those who like you crave security

What Kind of Rocker Am I?

You Are a Freedom Rocker!

You're stuck in the 70s - for better or worse
Crazy hair, pot soaked clothes, and tons of groupies
Your kind showed the world how to rock
Is that freedom rock?... Well turn it up man!


Excellent. (Air Guitar Rift)

9 days till Italy & Greece

I have been thinking about the Italy and Greece trip a lot recently. The idea is kind of scaring me. I’ve never been on a plane before, and I’ve never been to another continent before. I’m probably going to be fine, but I’m a little scared.
In other news, I have a test in Anthropology, Sociology and Psychology on Monday, and I have nine days to finish Frankenstein. I plan on getting it done over the weekend. I’m not enjoying the book at all. I have no problems with the story or the idea, but I don’t like the writing. I find it tedious, like most books of the period, and the characters are slightly unbelievable. I hope Broken Ground isn’t this boring. All apologies to Mary Shelley and any fans of Frankenstein out there, I’m just expressing my opinion.
There is something wrong with my Yahoo radio. It can’t seem to keep any of the marks I have on it tonight. I’m probably going to turn it of soon. I just did. I’m listening to Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Something about San Francisco.
Got a new book today, it is Cerebus, the first volume of the comic book saga of Cerebus the Aardvark. My mom got it for me on Amazon. It is very good and I like Elrod the Albino, a parody of Elric of Melniborne. He talks like Foghorn Leghorn.
Think I’ll write my novel know, peace out.

66 Stream-o-conciousness route

So I was in English class not really concentrating on my work when I got this great idea for a T-shirt. I was feeling kind of silly and laid back and wasn’t really concentrating and I thought to myself, hm This would make a good T-shirt. So I figured that I should make a blog post about cool things that I would like to see on T-shirts. This is that list.
  • I'm not high. This is just me on a good day. This was inspired by the afore menchoned English class. I do not claim to be an expert on how people act under the influence of drugs, but I figured that one would act silly, laid back and would not be very good at concentrating.
  • Naos is my Homie. Parody of the Jesus is my homie T-shirt, only with Naos. He's going to be in alot of novels that I write. He is suppose to be a Christ-like figure, so I suppose it is an apropriate parody, and to any of the religious right that stumble onto this by some acsident, I say to you lighten up. I'm not trying to surpress you, I'll go into more of a rant later.

Huh, that’s all I can think of. Awell, I have more stuff to talk about.

So awhile back I saw a bit of this documentation on how the religious right views same-sex marriage, and this one Christian said that treatments of Christians has been basically the same since the 1st and 2nd century. I find this ridiculous for many reasons. For one thing there has been this great big time gap, most of it being ruled by a CHRISTIAN THEOCRACY!!! Also, This Christian theocracy wasn’t exactly a good move on the part of Christian religion and was full of all kinds of intolerance and genocide (Spanish Inquisition and Witch burnings come immediately to mind).
Really, this whole thing makes me angry. When people talk about that I want to point at them and yell "Cannibal, Cannibal," and show them what it’s like to be a Christian in the 1st and 2nd century. And these Christians are suppressing homosexual people by calling them sinners. So you Christians are a bunch of hypocrites. Ha.

And on a lighter note, I will be expecting book one of Cerebus the Aardvark in the mail. That is all. Go back to your lives. Dear God leave a comment.

Oh, and we hade the art contest. I didn’t win.

Oh, and if you go to Neil Gaiman's journal you can see a wicked cool painting he has in his room. This is my 222 post, in case people are interested. I think that that bit of information is kind of cool personally. Again, please comment, and goodbye.

A Backpack of Homework (plus one busted button and a dead/dreaming squid god)

Because I believe I don’t blog nearly as much as I should, I blog today and will be seeing if I can blog even more often.
Well, first thing that comes emediatlty comes to mind is while I was walking home, the button on my pants fell off. I’m surprised at this because I am not a very fat man. I am really rather skinny. I am also not really a man by the terms of my culture, but I fancy myself as outside the main culture so HA!
I’ve got a lot of homework to do. I have to finish up to chapter 13 in Frankenstein tonight, then make a right up for Chapters 9 and 10, and then find themes in a short story called A Bolt of White Cloth, and then write about a sculpture for Art class. That and I’m working on a novel, so I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Also, you can read the classic Lovecraft short story Call of Cthulhu on Wikipedia. Enjoy.

I really need to post more

Okay. So, yesterday my parents got some movies from the Rogers. I got to see Mirrormask, the movie that Neil Gaiman wrote the screenplay to, and I found it very good. Then I watched a documentary about the cult following of Lord of the Rings, including how much hippies liked it. I was aware that hippies were into Lord of the Rings from the introduction of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, which I will be going into at greater length later).
I’m listening to my Yahoo radio again. I wasn’t listening to it for a long time and I decided to listen to it again. I’m listening to a Jethro Tull song called The Curse right now. It’s just gotten into a band called "Ten Years Latter,". They sound okay.
I am reading the series The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. I’m not sure were I got the information on the series, but I love it so far. It’s about this guy called Roland, who’s on a quest to find this Dark Tower (yes, I suppose that bit is kind of obvious). It is very good and I recommend that you get it. The first book in the series is called The Gunslinger and is about Roland tracking down the Man in Black, who can answer a lot of questions about how Roland can find the Dark Tower. The Man in Black is also a really bad guy and appears in a bunch of other Stephen King novels under a different identity.
The Dark Tower is also a fragment of a novel supposedly written by C.S. Lewis. There is some doubt about this, since the hero has some homosexual traits involving some horn in his forehead, I don’t really understand it myself. All I know is that I have a copy of the alleged C.S. Lewis unfinished novel.
Well, that’s all.

A Long Over-Due Post

Right. Don’t really know what to talk about.
Well, I went out for dinner with my family. We talked about how good it’s going to be for me and Dad to go to Italy and Greece. Italy and Greece is going to be pretty interesting and cool. I’m really excited, I just don’t look like it. I’m really tired from walking back from the restaurant.
In art class I finished my statue. I’ll see if I can get a picture of it on my blog sometime.
I am seeing a lot of advantages in a homosexual relationship. For instance, at supper my sister wanted some of my food, despite the fact it was my food. This is probably not a problem for a male/male couple who will eat there own food, or a female/female couple that will want to try there own food anyway. This is just a thought I hade.
That’s all.

A Hard Day's Night (At least if it was night)

I am whopped. I mean it, I feel exhausted. My feet hurt. There is my physical condition out of the way, lets talk about how my day went.
I’m working on a comic book about my imaginary friend, Ralph. He is featured in a sword and sorcery universe. Since Ralph is a giant mouse-like creature, this may sound like a rip-off of Cerebus. I plan on differentiating on Cerebus by leaning more to the left of the political spectrum and not writing anything misogynist, which I am not. I do not plan on actually publishing these comics, but I will see if I can get a few posts up. It will parody sword and sorcery, the Bush administration, Dave Sim’s Cerebus, Frank Herbert’s Dune, Forgotten Realms and any thing else I can think of.
In Art, I am in a statue building contest. The due date was Feb 20, but apparently I got wasted with some friends and lost three or four days and know it’s due on Feb 17. Damn my Bohemian Artist-in-Paris lifestyle. Damn it I say. (I wasn’t really wasted, it’s just that in artist competitions stuff like this comes up).
We are reading Frankenstein in English. It is a good book so far. I would have liked to live in the time-period it was written in on some level. I wouldn’t want to live in Continental Europe at that time because people wouldn’t be able to understand my autism and all my favorite writers weren’t born at that time, but I would have loved to stay at Lake Geneva with Lord Byron and Mary Shelley and meet these people. Odds are, what with people nor understanding my autism in that period, I probably would have ended up among these people, and later die of opium overdose and complications in tuberculosis or syphilis or something.
That’s all. Later folks.

RANDOM SONG LYRICS LLAMA!!!!!!!!!!!(random polka music)

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'cos every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Dream On, Dream On
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream On, Dream On
Dream until your dream come true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On...
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing'
Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
They say that there's a broken light for every heart on Broadway,
They say that life's a game and then you take the broad way,
They give you masks and costumes and an outline to the story,
Then leave you all to improvise their Vicious Cabaret.
I know that when I say this,
I may be stepping on pins and needles;
But I don't like all these people
slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.
(Don't blame it on Yokey)
if I was John and you were Yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of those directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go and that's the speed of light you know
twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when your deeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
and pray that there's intellegent life somewhere out in space
Because their's bugger all down here on Earth.
I choose a bunch of random songs I like, and I'd like to see if any of you guys can get them. Yes Steph, I know that you did something like this.

Snow Day

School’s out because of excesive amount of snow up here. It’s strange because it’s been really not snowy for the past few days and know it’s like Saskatchewan out there. I was planning my whole day on the assumption I was going to school too.
Day’s been pretty lazy. Fiddled around on the computer for most of it. I’m just blogging to tell everyone how things are going for me. I’m listening to the Beatles at the moment. Life is good at the present moment, but could be better.
That’s it.

Can't Think Of A Title. What of it?

I joined a group on Robert Silverberg awhile back on yahoo. Robert Silverberg is a very important science fiction writer and I was hoping if he could give me some tips. I havn't sent him any of my work as of yet, but I'm not so sure if I should. I trust Robert Silverberg not to steal it, since he could probubly could come up with something better. But there are all these other guys their who I don't completely know and might plagerize my work.
Speaking of plagerism, I think I hade a nightmare awhile back were I was accused of plagerising somebody's work. That could be an interesting story, know that I think about it. Somebody's dream being plagerized. There is something very Neil Gaiman about that. I think I may try that concept out. It sounds interesting.
Well, That's about it. I am fine, and I will try to put up a link to Neil Gaiman's blog. If it isn't their it's not working out. Peace.

New Semester

Somehow, I feel I should have written that I am finished exams on Thursday, but I didn’t so here is what I’ve been up too.
First off, I am finished exams and have passed them all. I know look forward to a Math burning party in which I will burn all my math notes.
Second, I am know on my second semester. I have sociology, anthropology and psychology (that’s all one course), Art and English. I already have to do an art project. I have to make a small statue of bristle board. I chose to do an anti-war memorial, but I hade to toune the bloodyness of my original concept.
I’m looking at one of my hands right know. The veins are very visible. It kind of looks like it belongs to one of the walking dead. Weird.
Anyway, that about covers it.
