So I started a new job, two and a half months ago. I don’t feel any need to say where, not that I’m ashamed of it or anything, but I feel it’s better to keep my day job and online activities separate. Especially in this day of age when expressing the wrong thing can result in keyboard warriors contacting your employer to try to get you fired because they disagree with you.
Liking the job so far, and it feels good to not only have income, but to get out of the house and see other people. But what does this mean for this place and my work? Well I had a jump in productivity with creative stuff since working. So the job is actually helping with that.
It’s a night job, so I sleep in the day. But when I get up in the evening my family tells me good morning, co-workers also say morning when I get there since they too just woke up, the majority of the shift is after midnight so it’s technically morning, and it’s dawn when I get off so everyone is saying morning. It’s been a never ending morning, got to double-check the day regularly, and even though I get plenty of sleeping I haven’t felt quite reset in awhile. I wonder if this is how a time or deep space traveler feels.

I bought a new tv, a RCA 40″ LCD HDTV. I haven’t watched tv in awhile, really I bought the thing cause I wanted more space, and that big 24″ standard tv was getting to be too much of a space hog. So this thinner tv works better for my space needs. It looks great too, especially with gaming. The only problem I have is that my PS3 refuses to play my Manowar dvds, since they’re in pal format. I can still watch them on my dvd player, but I wish I could watch them in the best quality possible. So I either need to buy a AV-HDMI converter, or upgrade my DVD 5.1 system to a blu-ray system that supports pal.

Yeah, it’s not exactly a first for Thor.

Now just a little rant of Marvel announcing a female Thor. The gender bending thing isn’t a new issue concerning Thor (Þrymskviða anyone?). The thing is, if they want to bring in more female representation and female readers, why not bring Freyja into prominence in the Marvel universe? She was one the most powerful and celebrated goddesses of the Norse. She even got first pick of half of the valiant slain, that’s right, she took her half before Odin. She would be great to turn into a superhero character, the source material is rich, she hasn’t been used like at all so she’d be a relatively fresh character in the Marvel universe, and she’ll be a great inspiration for girls to look up to. But like a Brother on facebook said; “ that would require EFFORT.” So we get just a female version of a popular male character that’ll be gone in a few months, a year at most. It’s just pure pandering for click-bait and to boost sales for a few months. Then they’ll return to the status quo like comic books do. Really, you’re a fool if you’re mad that Thor was changed, since you should better.
But you know, girls and women deserve better then just getting a female character that just piggybacks off a male character. We all deserve better. But the SJW that are being pandered to, and are celebrating this don’t deserve better, they deserve all of this. To have a empty “strong” woman character that’s just a male character with a female body, that will go back to normal, making the fucking thing meaningless. To give even a decent woman character to the SJW would be casting pearls among swine. They’ll try bend her to their views of women and the world and never let her be, if they can’t make her fit they’ll ignore her, and if she becomes too popular with others they’ll find something to disqualify her as a good character and say she’s part of what’s “wrong” with whatever medium she resides in. Freyja is too good for them. Same goes for minority characters. Notice that they celebrate when the race of established white characters are changed, but when actual minority characters created by minorities fade away, we don’t hear a peep out of them. Static was created as a black character, by a black creator, who was award winning. But Static’s book has been canceled and the character seems to be sidelined possibly for good. But are we hearing anything from the SJWs? Nope. They just want attention, to be pandered to, they don’t give a fuck about characters and stories of substance that will be remembered. They care about feeling like the world cares about what they think, and they want it in the moment.
This just emboldens me with my female characters, to make them real in spirit. Characters of substance. I don’t give a damn if they(SJW) won’t like them. My characters and my stories will be from the heart, be True.

Well, that’s something. Going to try to write here at least one a month. Till next time.

I sit here, on this cold October night, listening to Henry Rollins’ radio show. My writing has been all over the place since I quit my job earlier this year. I’ll work on one thing, then go work on another. I have a comic thing that just needs a few more panels to be draw, then to be inked, colored, and worded. But I keep forgetting about it in favor of other things. It doesn’t help that there’s, let’s say, an addicting thing I read up on. A thing that has no relevance to myself, nothing that will change my mind, and that I know I really need to just stop reading about it. I guess I should come out and say it’s a ideology that I don’t care to name, given it’s touche subject matter. It’s ideologues just seem to keep popping up where ever I go, especially creeping into certain sub-cultures I am apart of. I do find that talking to actual people, gives me a grounding in reality that helps to get my mind of it. Just too bad I’m not very social, like at all. Everybody just seems to be too busy for me.
I’ve found myself seeking input, clicking bookmark after bookmark trying to find something to stimulate myself. I started going to the various web forums I used to go to. I can’t believe how long it was since I posted anything on them, and many of them have died or become really slow. I started reading my old posts, recognizing them as something that I wrote, but so young and cringe-worthy. I didn’t think that I’ve grown so much since I was 18-19 years old, but enough to want to slap my younger self upside the head. But he (my younger self) would probably hit me back for not doing as much as I should have in 5 years. But more on that later. I miss the discussion focus and community of forums. I actually hate using facebook for mass conversation, it’s like trying to talk to a bunch of people who are severely ADHD. Twitter is useless for actually talking to people. A good conversation or debate can not be done in 160 character limits. I only have twitter to follow people who use it as a news thing. Honestly, I don’t think people actually like to talk at length about anything anymore. I noticed how certain people would spout some political insult, thinking twitter’s format would save them from debate. Of course they would then get mad when people tried to debate them. Cowards. We’re becoming such an illiterate shallow-minded society. Write a long, well thought out something or another, and it’s largely ignored. Write a single sentence bumper-sticker/T-shirt like platitudes, and you get 20+ likes, and 10 comments of lols.
Anyway, where was I going, oh yeah.
I think without something firm to push against, my ambitions just seem to go all over the place. I need to get some self-discipline here. No, I don’t need another person, need to do this myself. I think what would help is if I had a solid daily schedule to follow, but I have had a mad sleep schedule, and it’s hard to pin down what to do when. I’d like to do a web-comic, something with a deadline to follow and meet. It’ll help more if I get fans, people to pressure me to get the work done.
I’ll be job hunting soon, just to get some income. This is probably going to be my car’s last winter. It has never liked the winter, and it’s probably going to hurt real bad this year.
Ahh, I haven’t actually written anything about my projects. Eh, maybe it’s best to keep these things under wraps until they’re almost ready. But just a question if any of you care to answer: Would anybody watch/listen to a GHM and ChaosNinj4 podcast thing? Let me know on the forums, my facebook, whatever.
