Strange Impact

It's kinda funny how within seconds a nice casual drive and turn sour.

Today I was getting a ride home. We had parked pretty far away from the school so it took a while for me the driver and her friend to get to the car. I know I don't live too, too far away but the driver offered me a ride home, so I accepted.

The snow and slush had really piled up. It was pretty terrible. but we pulled out of our spot easily. The roads where kinda crappy, but that's because no one pays enough attention to them to get them properly plowed.
There was a back ally type looking road, so we decided to scoot by there less we get interrupted by the strike people from York just one ride over.

The driver was in sort of a hurry to get home, for she had to get home eat and go to work. I suppose, but we weren't driving fast or recklessly. Until we didn't see the hidden stop sign.

There was a stop sign tucked away at the side of the road. The driver didn't see it in time before it impacted with the car ahead of us. The passenger side window was smashed and the car was pushed right into the snow bank.

A lot of things happened in that instant. Swear words where flung, a look of pure horror, regret.

There seemed to be no harm done to anyone inside... well at least it appeared not so. there were no signs of blood loss. The driver hurried to check and see if the other people were alright. The second driver was swearing his head of. I could hear him from inside the car. He certainly wasn't helping the situation.

"This is the second time she's hit somebody." Very negative friend commented as soon as the driver was out of ear shot. The driver returned to the car to grab her cell phone and report it or to get the proper authorities. I couldn't say anything. My mouth was wide open the whole time.

"Go home Travis!" The driver instructed me to leave. So I did. I got out of the car and walked home...

I didn't look behind me. I wasn't injured at all. I didn't really take anything away from the accident.

When I got home I realized I should of. I wasn't wearing my seat belt. I don't ever remember my neck snapping back uncomfortably, so I didn't even suffer whip lash.

How strange not to feel any strong emotion to this crash. Not anger, not sorrow, certainly not joy.

My tired self and weird reaction to the crash have produced my strange take on this event.

I label this all as 'strange'.

Blaahbee boodoo!

Last night I had stayed up late and my class was at eight o'clock this morning. I was thinking. OOooh boy this is going to be fun. I woke up at nine and said... Well F this and went back to sleep.

Now what I shoulda done (since my friend Andy was sleeping over) was gotten up and checked on him and asked if he still wanted to go to class. But I don't I go to bed again. At ten forty five Andy comes and knocks on my door, and wakes me up. He says "Travis don't we have class now." I was thinking we missed it and so I pop online and check. And the stupid thing started at ten forty five! I could of made it but now we were late once more! Poop!

So I got ready and we got there a little after 11. so that wasn't too bad.
After I came home and took a well deserved nap. I woke up did a lot of nothing then did my dishes. The kitchen is so clean! The girls should be happy when they get back home.

I had a spark of motivation hit me for a little bit after my dishes were finished but then it kinda died. I'm think that I'll seriously try to start doing my Wii Fit again. Not that I think that doing it's silly little exercises help but I'm more conscious about my health when I do things like that.

Anyways a couple days ago in class me and my friends Mikki and Andy were practicing being very bad students. But it was so funny. Especially since we were all so tired.
So I made a silly little comic about it.



Needless to say we exasperated our teacher. He wound up ignoring us.

I'm thinking of hitting the hay soon. I'm having another party on Friday, and people are coming! Wooo! I need to somehow figure out how to buy snackums and the like for them, anybody have any good party food ideas?

I'll talk to you all later.

Drawin Old People

Today after a long and very tough day of schooling I went to go and improve my naked people drawing skill by going and drawing naked people.

The naked person they had lined up for us was an old woman. Not sagging face and gray hair type of old person. If I could venture a guess I'd say about late 40's or early 50's. Maybe mid 50's.

Anyways she seemed pretty excited to be there, it seemed like her first time on the job. Well whatever I just needed better at drawing naked people...

...

...

I think she was a mother. Yup don't ask me how I knew. PLEASE DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW! But It was VERY obvious that she had given birth. Not to mention that but she also must of lost about a hundred pounds! She was so very saggy!

You people might not of guessed this but drawing a naked person is really hard because you're looking at bones and muscles. Skin is taken for granted and I draw it in my pictures and that's all fine and good... But when that skin is VERY saggy then that's another element you have to draw! And it's really hard! So I wound up with the most cracked out old lady in ALL of my pictures.

So I guess for my blog today I would like to inform you all... drawing old naked people is HARD!

Things that I found

I found some things on the internet today.
They were all youtube videos.
They were all awesome.







Those were the things I found on the internet today.

Theme songs! Vague Goals!

I went surfing the web a couple of days ago and came across a load of old cartoon intros... plus one non cartoon intro! I Forgot how much I loved these shows! Enjoy!

Freakazoid!


Tiny Toons!


Bananas In Pajamas!


BeetleJuice!

Duck Tales!


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


Power Rangers!


Magic School Bus!

Mighty Max!


Tales from the CryptKeeper!


Samurai Pizza Cats!


Yeah these are all pretty sweet!
Oh youtube, how i enjoy you so!

The first week of school is here and almost gone. Just one more day till the week end. All of my classes that I have now... They all feel like I'm getting a giant pat on the back for passing my first semester classes. Makes me kinda happy.

Some of my classes that I'm looking forward to is a photoshop class. Seriously it looks like a class completely dedicated to photoshop! it's gonna be friggin sweet. Another one I had today was stylistic drawing. Basically what you need to do if you're interested in drawing for comics books and touching on some animation. That class already told me what I did wrong with my Manga that I made a couple of years ago.

IT seems the process to follow with making a manga is; Idea, script, design, story board, produce, print.
The process Thomson and I followed was; Idea, produce, print. We missed three HUGE steps! Makes me kinda ambitious! Gosh! I wish Motivation was sold as like a soft drink or something! I'd buy a million fridges worth!
I have quite a few games I want to make with Shane, among the few are; Zombie, Fantropics, Microcaum (sp), and once I actually become useful, any games I can properly pitch to him. I want to make another RPG with Jessica, I like the title 'Change'. I want to finish that story I was writing a while back 'waiting'. I want to finish my manga deal 'the infinity rule'... Man I haven't touched on that one is so long, I almost completely forget the plot... actually we never really came up with a plot at all... there was never a true script to this story, and dammit I wanna complete it! I want me and Thomson to finish... and well me to start that Vangelise Manga that we were coming up with. Actually I was hoping that this stylistic drawing class could REALLY help with that. There is also Emily's story which I'm... well I'm not really the writer at all but I help her come up with ideas. I can't wait for her to finish that. And Method Six Jess! OMG you have to finish those books! I'm surprised me and Trish never came up with some sort of plot together... all I can think about with Trish is that little girl we came up with that had meter stick long eyelashes! And well other then that I have a few more independent projects and ideas scattered about.

I want to do them all! And I want to have them all finished right now! Or at least have like Enough motivation and time to complete them ALL this year! ALL OF THEM!
... You know what? That'd be a crazy Year year's resolution...
Yes that's my goal! I want to resolve to complete all of these!
... or maybe I should pick a few and resolve to work my hands off doing those...
Which ones do I pick?

Well anyways I'm resolve to do something by February. Maybe I should focus on trying to apply for animation here again and brush up my portfolio and complete that.

That's a vague idea of my goals this year.
*makes a silly face*

My Birthday

Today was my birthday.

I was planning on sitting on my butt and crying because I had no one to spend my birthday with but Emily made sure to thwart my plan!

She came all the way from U of Guelph to visit me today and make sure I had an awesome birthday. Well thanks to her i did.'

However it was quite the adventure trying to find each other once she had been dropped off. The bus loop where people who take the buses normally get dropped off is closed due to York being on strike!

I was quite upset but due to my clever thinking I was able to facebook contact her cell phone and figure out where she'd been dropped off! She was a little cold so I took her in for a meal and warmed her up.

: )

So very happy today!

I also attempted making my first bento lunch. It has salt and pepper rice, boiled veggies and a lasagna piece! It looks yummy! I also stuffed two bananas and an apple in there for good measure since I'll be away for most of the day.

I'll also have two thermoses of coffee to keep me going! YUM!

I can't wait to see if this will be enough to sustain me tomorrow. I certainly hope so!

Well nothing much other to report, other then making that bento lunch box took for freaking ever and now I need bed!

Entertain yourself with this;



My verdict; a good birthday!

A new semister

So I had a very wonderful holiday.
It was so full of good cheer and laughter, really great.

Today was completely full of work, I'm talking 100% full.

I had to pack a lot of my stuff int he morning (because I neglected to last night). Then I traveled all the way to Toronto, with it in it's self is very tiring. Especially when my grumpy old man is tossed into the mix. Then I had a haul a drafting table and a bag of milk all the way to my apartment here. It really sucked because out of the four elevators, only two were working, so hauling all of my junk was a giant waiting pain. And after all of that I had to unpack everything.

Setting up my closet too me a really long time. I used up all of my hangers putting my clothes away. and I used all of the room on my self putting my other clothes away.

It's pretty exciting because non of the clothes are on the floor anymore! And They're in neat assorted piles! It's ease of access to the max!

Then I worked very hard on setting up my laptop table, which is a neat little table I got where you can sit on the couch a use you laptop at a comfortable level. I my case its going to be my bed... not the couch. Anyways screwing the screws into that peiceter was quite hard work.I don't think they made to holes deep enough.

So after I finally got everything to where it needed to be I sat down and I was hit with one of the worse head ache's I've had in a long time. Like a hammer blow! Ker-pow! I also felt hungry, sick, and tired too. I resolved to eat something then take a nap.

Well I was not longer feeling tired nor hungry anymore when I awoke. I finally woke up and that guy who hit me with a hammer had moved up to a sledge hammer! KER-POW I thought I was gonna throw up! It was terrible!
I resolved for another nap accompanied by two pain killer pills. That seemed to of done the trick. When I awoke from my nap I was groggy but other wise feelin fine.

I'm now sitting here eating grapes, excited about tomorrow.

Emily is going to help me activate my cell phone! Whoo-hoo

This is a very uninteresting blog, but it's a new one for this year to warm you all up to new blogging this year.
I'll hear for you all soon! Tah tah!
