Look at these too...

These are my more fun and light lighthearted drawings. They're alot of fun to draw.

My まんが!!

I said that I would add some of my art work, so here it is. There is alooooooot more, but I'm saving those for a much later time. Here's a character from my manga. I would tell you the name of the manga, but I need feed back on the polls on the right. I'm leaning on "Dragons of Blue Fire". Once there have been 50 votes, I will decide on the name.

Any way, this character's name is 大神 (Amaterasu; lit. trans. great deity). I chose this name for him because he's going to be somewhat of a savior on the trek to the "Tournament of Dragons" ( this is to be covered later).

You can do whatever you want with this picture, just remember to give credit, onegaishimasu (remember, I'm trying to get a kick start on this....).

Tell me what you think about this picture. Does it suck, is it good, what I could change, things like that. One thing that you you don't have to comment on is the scanning quality. It sucks, I know. Tell my parents. I'm not the one with the money. Ha! If this grafic novel goes well, I will be!

Christmas (not a song)

What does Christmas mean to you? To me, it hardly means a thing. I'm pretty sure that if it didn't have the name Christ in it I wouldn't celebrate it. That sounds rather drastic for a Christian, but if you know what I knew about Christmas, you'd probably think "This is kind of a rip off."

This is why:
For one, Christ is estimated to be born between March and May. Not December.
Two, Christmas was centered around the Roman winter solstice.
The fourth century Christians made Christmas this day because it was a very popular day, filled with festivities, gifts, and drinking.
They also chose this day becuase pagans already observed this day as a holiday.

This Christmas, I didn't ask for anything. I don't want anything or need anything. I just see Christmas time as another break. Even then it's not a break becuase I have to do a bunch of stupid tech assignments. Sometimes I hate tech, and wish that I could sabotage all of their computers, rendering them useless.

Anyway, how do feel about Christmas, or the holiday of your choice?

Que?

Green trees love to wallow in the yellow sunshine
Green trees get their green from the blue water and yellow sunshine in which they indulge
Blue birds fight wasps and bees
Blue birds love to stay in green trees
I love to drink food and eat drinks
Believe it or not
Things are not always as they seem
What?
I forgot
What was I talking about?
What's forgotten is not memorable
And what's memorable is obviously going to be remembered
Is Christmas for St. Nick?
No it's for Christ
Who is Kwanzaa for?
For Kwan.
And who is Hanukkah for?
Hanu, duh.
Who are the rejects?
Mas, Zaa, and Kkah.
REJECTS UNITED!!!
Maszaakkah!
The holiday of rejects.

I want to 戦い!!

It's a craving. I can't help it. Why I want to fight is beyond me. All I know is that there is somebody that looks like a worthy opponent, so I've been training, and getting into fights(that's another post soon to be written) so that when I get to him, I can plug him up like 日向 ネジ (Hyuga Neji). This guy isn't my arch rival or something, he's actually kind of a friend. Oh, and when I say fight I don't mean street fighting, or boxing, I'm talking martial arts.

So for training I've been working on my front and side kicks. It's not that they're week, it's just that they're not up to par with my round house, back, low, high, mid, leg sweep, and crescent moon kicks. It sounds weird because those are the most basic kicks, and I think that that is why they aren't as good as I would like.

Also for training, I've been working on my pressure point locations, finger strength and durability, punches, core strength, joint and limb elasticity, physical endurance, mental endurance, and stamina.

I'm glad we have break so that I can used to the training. For pressure point location training, I got a poster with the most commonly targeted pressure pionts. Then I went on the Internet and got some more pressure point locations and put them on the poster. After that I got three boxes that would add up to equal my height when stacked, and put a few of my clothse on them. Then I tried to remember the pressure pionts. I only memorized like 10 so far, but that's O.K because I have about 2 weeks of break.

For finger strength I have been trying to to push ups on fingers. Occasionally I'll try them on only three fingers : thumb, index, and middle, because those are the only ones that you're really going to use. I also try to pull myself up on the door posts sometimes, but my fingers are too weak.

Have you ever seen Jet Li's training video? Well if you haven't he does this one training excecise where he puts a stack of news papers on a tree and punches it until God knows when. Well, that's what I'm trying to do. I try to dedicate at least an hour to punching this tree in my back yard. Well, I have to sneak becuase my mom doesn't like me doing it and my hands get really cold since it's cold and snowing outside now. But at least I try. And also, it kinda hurts after about 30 minutes, becuase, duh, I've been punching a tree for half an hour.

For core strength I just do alot of push ups and sit ups. Not alot to explain.

This is where being in track pays off. While in track, I learned loads of stretches and tecniques to keep the body nice and elastic. Being a former shuttle hurderler, I know that if you don't stretch properly you can pull muscles with ease. If I want this guy to see vast variety of flavorful kicks, I need to stretch before I heart myself.

For phisical endurance, I truck jump ,kick, and punch many many times in a fast recession. I don't want to give this guy an opening, so I kneed to be fast and to be able to keep up that speed.

For mental endurance, I put myself up against my fears. Snakes, trouble, lurking beings. I have to, becuase if I beat them out then I can sure as h*** beat this guy.

For stamina, I do all of these things. I would run, but there's no way that I'm running in this wheather.

So what are you doing over the break to better yourself/ prepare you?

Excitement lost...

I'm soooo devastated. I was really hoping for school today. There was so much crap going on that I was looking forward to seeing, and now I have to wait around 2 weeks to see it, and by then the problems will probably be resolved. Darn. You have no idea how I'm feeling right now. Let me tell you part of the story.
Wed. was a late start day because of snow. I got to school really really late because my mode of transportation had to go up and down alot of icy hills. Past that, in fist hour (1st period for you dweebs) I have Computer-Tech (an Occupational class), so we were working on computers.
Then I looked to my left and I saw "Moses". He looked very glum. I felt bad for him, and I don't know why. I some what look up to Moses, and I want to have the chance to fight him one day, don't ask me why.
Moving on, slowly I started to break the ice. I said "Are you alright? Your looking kinda sorry." I said it jokingly, but I meant it. He said "Today is just a bad day." And after that, I didn't really have to ask anymore questions. He told me more than I wanted to know, not in a bad way though.
This is the part that killed me. He said "I tell her everything..."
Do you not understand the significance of that statement?!! This means he tells her about eeeeeverything. No secrets. This is the thought that choked me up even more.
Why? Why her? Why would you tell her everything? What makes her so, "trustable"?
Then I thought some more. And I noticed something. I do it too. Well, I don't tell her everything, but I do tell her way more than I tell anyone else. Coming from me, that means alot because I am a very introverted person. Then I thought even harder.
Why do I tell her so much? Why do I trust her? Am I attracted to her? Is it because she's really open? What the h*** is it?!
All of these questions just get me pissed even more because I will more than likely never know the answers. I bet you that I would have at least been able to solve a couple of these questions if we had had school today.
Now I have nothing to look forward to besides church and garbage day.
Now you see why I'm ticked off about not going to school.
