Mayhem Fest

So, gonna be going to CT for the Rockstar Energydrink Mayhem Fest. No new comic for the next few days. But pictures n stories when I do get back!

Moved onto a new site for my webcomic

Yea so I stumbled across another hosting site for my webcomic, http://ultraviolentcomics.smackjeeves.com/ , I'll still be posting comics on here, but hope to generate more of an audience by branching to new sites.

If you go there, i'm not sure if you have to join to rate my comics, but if you do that'd be awesome, as well as becoming a fan of it.


I'm very happy that I've started this little project.

The Allegory that is my life

So, while this is probably painfully obvious to everyone, I had a realization.

See, I've come up with this idea for a comic, "The Revengenators"...working name....but in it two average guys make an attempt at, what I can only describe as, a nearly pathetic amateur attempt at mercenary work. They go about "enacting missions of revenge", as given to them by local customers, in the same way any common person (who's seen enough action movies and played enough video games) would try to tackle situations, although usually blowing things out of proportion...minus a bit of common sense. Because they are just average people, they don't have access to "state-of-the-art" equipment and make due with what they can get (think partially Kick Ass, mixed with Punisher, and a little Macgyver thrown in yet watered down in the intelligence); common access weapons like baseball bats, machetes, hatchets, knives, gun powder and simple explosives, etc.

Now...these guys share alot in common with where I am in life...partially because they're be doing what I've wanted to do since I was in kindergarten (which I won't lie, has been re-born inside of me since seeing Kick Ass and being let down by not seeing news reports of people being vigilantes). But mainly because they're attempting to do something and doing it very far from professional. Same thing I'm doing with my web-comic project.

Many of my writing seems to reflect stuff in my life this same way...characters with cheating spouses (almost every story I wrote in high school had some reflection of this theme), people dealing with psychological stress by indulging in carnal acts of murder (not that I have but goddamnit I've wanted to so many times...), etc.

The therapy that is writing I suppose.

Well, back to the comic work. Hey, I might be still in the amateur stage, but hell if I ain't having fun with it.

However, I have one favor to ask...actually two:

1. If you like anything you see in my comic blog, or my friend's blog : http://r3cartoonstudios.blogspot.com/ .

and

2. If you really like what you see on them, click the ads. Think of it as paypal donations without having to actually paying outa pocket.


also, p.s

opinions on this idea for a comic i had up above are appreciated.

Got a new blog

Ok, so I know, "Got a New Blog" when I barely post here,


but this one i'm uploading all my comics too.

Link to it's up there someplace on this thing,

Let me know what you think,

So I have something to keep be preoccupied now

From the lack of pretty much having something to both keep me busy, or somewhat exercising my mind in a way, I've posted a question to my friends for ideas to base stories off of, more or less looking for some interesting situation which I could work with. Got a few good ideas for a first round, gonna ask again a few more times and maybe just get the bones of a few stories started out of them. Deciding if I should start posting them here, most of them will probably only be short stories anyway. See if I can get something going with them at least. It's actually proved pretty fun.


For the mean time, this is going to be I do with myself, not a lot of places hiring where I can get just a part time for the summer out here, not too much luck with out in Albany either. Thinking of finding a place I can just do like volunteer work to help keep me busy even. That would at least help me build a better looking resume right now when looking for internships when next semester starts. And after my last semester's English classes, I need something to keep my creative mind busy. I've gotten back to having fun writing.

Also, started reading again. Waiting for Suarez's second book to come out in paper back, and gotten back to Stephen King for enjoyment instead of TV or video games. Actually right now reading The Dead Zone, and I'm going to get back to that.

More later

Everything ends

Mmkay, back from my week long repose of sorts,

To starts things off, Rest In Peace Elizabeth McCumber, my Great Grandma. You'll be forever remembered, forever loved and forever have a place in my heart. We all knew it was only a matter of time that God would put you back beside Great Grandpa.

I miss you dearly, but I know you'll always be there to guide me through life.

Just yesterday, after coming back to SUNY Albany and having a final dinner with my friends, I passed by a group of people trying to change the tire on their car and thought to myself, "...gram would kick me if I didn't see if they needed help...". Sure enough, when I pulled my car up, they needed a tire iron (and someone to show them how to actually get a tire off of a car).


Karma is a real thing people. You do good unto the world and good returns. After seeing these people off, I go to start up my car, and find it dead. The culprit-my battery. Not that it died, but the genius who sold me the car messed up one of the terminals on the battery, and no connection was going through to my car. Thankfully, I'm a Triple A + member, and was able to have it towed my girlfriend's house, at no charge. This might not seem all that good, but the fact this happened to me while on campus, instead of driving down to my dorm on the downtown campus, or worse driving up 90 to get my girlfriend from work.


Speaking on this, I want to take a moment to say how fortunate I am to have not only my girlfriend, but my family, her family, and everyone I know, to help me when I need them. This last week has been extremely taxing on me (pure emotion from losing my gram, stress over finals, the whole spiel with my car,), and without them I don't think I'd have made it through.

On the lighter side, I'd recently picked up Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend, and I have to say. Very impressing. The game play is so-so, combat is a button mashers delight, simple combos and the use of music as a weapon was nice. The RTS element of it I feel could have been handled better, the actual stage battles were pretty fun, though at times could be an annoying grind. The story itself was surprisingly deep (considering the main character being voiced by Jack Black). But what really capture me, was the stunningly beautiful landscaping of the world, the amazing way the designers crafted instruments of metal into damn near everything in sigh. Overall, for $20 this is a must-have.


That's really it for now,



oh yea, click the ads please and thank you.

Ok...so, heres the thing...

I realize I, earlier in the week, said I'd try n post at least thrice a week, and put up at least one comic,



but, yesterday...my great grandmother passed away....


so, I'm not going to be on here for at least this week, maybe the next. Not to mention finals week....


so, I apologize (not that I believe I have that many readers)


I'll return when I get the chance.
