Late news, but. Uh-Oh! Anonymous vs. Viacom. The Battle to End All Battles

Apparently Anonymous is quite pissed at Viacom

Getting kind of hard to trust men who kill God...

Makes enough sense.

The Destructive Nature of Social Value and Worth

Anywhere there's social value and worth, there is also social chaos and unrest. A lot of violence is rooted in social fear and jealousy.

Why else would a place like Los Angeles be such a violent, crime, and sex/prostitution/porn industry-ridden place. Mostly because that's where mainstream fame, showbusiness and entertainment is. It's where the so-called "beautiful people who are  better than the rest of us" live and play and work, and therefore eventually we read news stories about the underside and excess of this activity.

That's right. Success, status, and fame isn't just profitable. It's also pretty nasty, empty, shallow, excess-ridden, and disgusting on the inside.

As of 2012

The median age of the world's population is the age of 28. That's how old I am!

You know...

It never was my job to lie and tell the world, the market will take care of itself and be all right, just keep stigmatizing those you already do.

Primarily because the industry ISN'T going to be all right. Primarily because of how psychotic, narcisistic and greedy Hollywood, celebrity culture, and big business are (all three of them.).

So fuck it. You guys are on your own.

mmmmmm

Where again am I supposed to look for the ones who actually want to have sex with me?
Now wouldn't that be nice. Screwing hot girl after hot girl. Most guys can only dream of such things.
Eh, those girls are all spectacle, no action.
I bet if I asked them in real life if they wanted to have sex, they'd say "Nah. I dun wanna."

Article Online About TV Animation. Perfectly Explained: The End of an Era: The Creator-Driven Era of TV Animation

Creator Driven Animation on Television

[1990-2010]

R.I.P.

Apparently my own career goals were a bit more farsighted than I ever could have imagined, as proven by the concepts about the animation industry in America, pointed out by Animation Brew.

http://tinyurl.com/23zlz4n

Other than me, and, say, Brad Neely, just who is there to stand up for the Creator-Driven Animation cause exactly? Nobody that's who! Not at the cable networks and Fox anyway.

In terms of what's getting made and greenlit, it's:

A) Creator-driven shows from the generation that actually could do creator-driven animation, that the networks are still leaching off of (Simpsons, South Park, Peter Griffen, Spongebob. They're a lot more profit driven than they've ever been creator-driven.

B) Non-American animation from France, Canada, and Japan

C) Revivalist shows of revivalist franchises that were never created with the intent of artistry to begin with.

This generation is not one of visionary auteur operations, with nothing more than a 2% exception (Adventure Time, Regular Show, etc., and they're mostly following that example for the "glory" (i.e. bragging to your stoner and geek buddies at Comic-Con you SOLD a show. Whoopeeeeee!!!), not because they actually have any actual "innovative, new ideas")

Other mediums than TV animation seem to offer a lot more hope for people with new ideas to offer, independent, and/or online stuff. Self-produced stuff you design yourself in your bedroom and upload. You know the deal.

Anime = Production Studio Sweatshop

Animation and comics are hard work. Anyone who makes it look easy and presents it that way is probably just trying to deceive you. Animation and comics (anime and manga included) are not easy to make. It’s strenuous, nerve-wracking, high pressure, and back breaking work and 24/7 obsession and labor. The only people who can make things like that look easy are millionaires in print and on TV, and 12 year old frauds on the internet. The Japanese only make it look effortless because they culturally, socially, psychologically, and emotionally socially-conditioned to perform that way. Their producers beat them within an inch of their lives, sweatshop style, if they’re not overachieving 24/7. We don’t have that in America. In America, we work hard, but I’m afraid we don’t have sweatshops that pass for teenage bedrooms and professional animation studios. The Japanese are brainwashed by their own society to conform to doing everything like perfectionists. It’s not human. At all really.

Anime = High Class Production Studio Sweatshop.

I’m working under different conditions than the Japanese are. No wonder they make me look stupid.

My dwahwing wook juss wike yoas

It suk big don-kee baws.

U go 2 hew. u goh 2 hew nao fat Amerikajin swob!!!!

Bruce Lee

Am I too smug?

Well, the ENTIRE WORLDWIDE ANIMATION INDUSTRY AND COMMUNITY has embraced and become addicted and comfortable vegging out on digital technology I helped engineer. I did play a big part in that. So if there were ever a time to be complacent and satisfied with my place in the world, now would probably be it...

"The Jerk"

I don’t know if it’s the fame and internet that made me a jerk, or just all the hype and abuse other people give me when they single me out and scapegoat / censor me. Either way, I probably fucking hate you.

I had a dream last night....

That my christmas present was someone writing another Uncyclopedia article about me and how amazingly great and ballsy I am. I love those guys. At least SOMEONE talks about me LOL.

Then I woke up. Oh wait, their server's still down from the....Uh oh, looks like the "Denial of Service Hitmen" are striking again. I guess Anonymous and Tite Kubo don't like their closet gay homosexual tendencies being discussed in a public forum, but they sure as hell like to talk about others.

I like Uncyclopedia. They're awesome and quite a bit more honest about jerks in the public domain that just about anybody. And they use said jerk's actual names (Gasp! Surely there's a law against this SOME where! Using actual NAMES instead of 40 year old "professional" speaking in gay ass code with gay ass Corpacorp "nick"names.)

Say no to American Communist Media Censorship, kids!

Little Man

Keep both my eyes transfixed on the prize

A high-rise to the blue skies my piece of the pie

There's a hole in my heart that I know how to fill

That's to light my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill

It's all about cash flow the California dream

To make the grade you gotta make the green

My friend I'm the champion I've no time for losers

Never ask for nothin 'cause beggars can't be choosers

Lookin' our for number ones's a full time occupation

I'll give to me myself and I my own salvation

Some people try to tell me God can save me from my sin

But God can take a number and I'll pencil Him in

Busy oh so busy I got no time to search

My Sunday's are all booked I've got no time for church

That's for those poor souls, dry as a stone

God bless this child 'cause this child's got His own.

Oh, let my pride fall down I'm a little man

He who gets the most toys and dies is the winner

I'm livin' the high life with lobster tail dinners

My Lexus, my yacht, my gold chains and rings

These are a few of my favorite things

But most of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart

House decorated with million dollar works of art

Roll with the Bigwigs they think I'm the man

But then I stop and look and think about how big I really am

Mammon is an unforgiving God, I cast him away

I live my life to God, not to get paid

Money can't save your soul, don't think I can

I look to God and I feel like a little man.

Windows Live: SkyDrive

Finally, I have a place OTHER THAN YouTube to store my MASSIVE collection of anime and action movie videos online for free. Skydrive is where it's AT (for video sharing)!

Here's some anime videos...

Google Music: Tryin it out

Since I am a former-musician and a huge music fan (always have been) I love seeing music videos and listening to music online and off.

I like Pandora, and iMeme (even though iMeme doesn't really work now) and am giving Google Music a shot. Easy enough to use so far...My windows media library is loading.

Since I know Google might be reading this: Suggestion: Google really needs a system for WMV video files to, Like YouTube, but with webbrowsing storage devices of video hard drives, for video collections, not just MP3s.

Anime and Language...

Though I don't necessarily agree with it, because I'm technically an American and language is not a big deal in America much of the time because we take it for granted here in "normal" American society, because language is very important in Japan, there actually seems to be this mindset that if something is speaking or written in Japanese, that "automatically qualifies it as anime". Well, I'm not going to debate, that language is crucial to Japanese culture in the opinion of nearly all (if not all) Japanese, but language should not be the only thing that defines anime.

I'm starting to learn how to speak a little bit of basic conversational Japanese in my spare time. I'm not fluent but I know a few basic phrases.

These cultural differences between anime in Japan and anime in America is probably something important to take note of though. Many American anime fans don't speak any Japanese. This fact isn't meant to offend the Japanese. It's merely a cultural difference, not an insult. Speaking from observing the fan community...Japanese is a hard language to learn in the eyes of the American public and media, but not impossible if you have good linguistics skills (in general) and a desire to learn foreign languages as a gaijin...

Not getting paid what you're worth....

Can your likeness, work, productivity, and influence make millions and billions of people worldwide happy and satisfied just as much as the biggest names in media, yet never get paid ANY credit or money for it on a legal level, let alone millions of $? Is that even possible for some people to make no money and get paid nothing for being really really successful, while others easily do for doing a lot less. Hell yes you can help billions of people and they refuse to pay you any money for ANYTHING. I know FIRSTHAND this is true.

Legally, I can attest to that. And technically, I've resisted the urge to take legal action and never ended up suing people and corporations over it. Lucky them. Fortunately, I've taken the high road. It'll pay eventually, I'm pretty sure. I'd sue certain people BIG TIME if I WASN'T certain I will be paid money for my efforts one day.

Yeah, I'm definitely not at all paid what I'm actually really worth. Not by a LONG SHOT.

Must be the black hair, tan skin, and glasses. I knew they were a liability in the media but JESUS CHRIST, is that what's costing me million in lost profits? How sad is that on the world's part?

Oh Girlfriend

I miss you
And I wonder how you feel about me too
Do you miss the way we would play
And waste our time away?
Suddenly, we're apart
And I can't see you everynight
Though we fight I love you so much
Now I can't feel your touch

Oh girlfriend
That's the end
And I'm lost without your love
Oh love

In your arms
I was happy as a little boy could be
Taking pills and mellowing out
Now I just want to shout
For your love
'Cause I'm drifting further from you everyday
Driving by your place everynight
I used to feel alright

Oh girlfriend
That's the end
And I'm lost without your love
Oh love

Feeling fancies everynight
When I dreamed to be alright
Oh love
Oh love

Oh girlfriend
That's the end
And I'm lost without your love
Oh love

In your arms
I was happy as a little boy could be
Taking pills and mellowing out
Now I just want to shout

[humming]
Now I just want to shout
[humming]
Now I just want to shout

The REAL Reason America doesn't yet produce it's own anime. Suprise surpise! It doesn't because it CAN'T!

Because of the production staff mentoring system in the Japanese anime industry, On a technical and cultural level, Asians are the only ones not self-taught in that area of production, drawing that way. Talent in production design and choreography in martial arts, in Asian in America. How many people can draw fighting and guns and production design and storyboards in general, in terms of animation population of staffs in Asia, France, and American: What you see is what you get, in terms of how many people can draw in that way. The main reason we don’t see anime in America as much, is not something America is doing by choice. We don’t see more American anime because Americans DON’T KNOW HOW and AREN’T ABLE TO, make anime. What you see a country do with animation is a reflection of what it is actually able to do. There’s no big conspiracy. If America isn’t making anime, it’s because it A) Isn’t able to because no one or not enough people can draw that way, and B) Because no one in America knows how, with rare exceptions.

Einstein and his Breakthrough: A New Era

What does the theory of Relativity really mean? On a nonscientific, symbolic and mythological level.

Einstein's accomplishment was not a normal one. Relativity and Einstein's biggest theories weren't just an accomplishment and breakthrough.

With Relativity: Einstein was ripping a giant black hole in the very fabric of the Human Conception of Time and Space itself! Nothing was ever the same after Einstein made his breakthrough.

It changed not only science and theoretical physics, and therefore human knowledge...

And the Nature of Reality

Not very Christmasy, but it just occured to me. Einstein was important.

Well WhatEVER That Thing Was...

I'm glad that chaotic timespan is over with.

Life Lessons From Experienced Folk

If there's one thing I've learned from achieving many of my life goals at the age of 28, whether big or small, it's that now that I've actually achieved a lot of my early childhood goals on some tangential level, it's that success does not necessarily guarantee you be "treated like royalty". Especially in young adult hood. Actually, in their own lifetimes, for many of History's Biggest Figures, when they were alive, their treatment was ANYTHING BUT "royal". Quite the opposite actually. Many of them were treated like garbage and abused a lot more than any of their peers were. That's what I like to call "Greatness Hazing for later years"

So let that be a lesson to anyone who's failed at something. Don't let other's short sightedness deprive you of your self worth. You define your own self worth through the actions you choose during your lifetime for the most part.

Did I mention I like hang-gliding and general airborn sports....

Yup. Me likes flight and being way up in the air.

It all started way before the New Millenium, when I was little, a mere 8 or 7 year old and got to fly on a commercial flight to Chicago and back numerous times to see relatives.

I LOVE being airborn! Being indoors 24/7 is kind of dull in comparison.

No wonder Mono is able to take flight...at certain points in my narrative. Being up in the air is liberating!

Hero, or Anti-Hero?

Mono Jubei. Yeah, actually, now that I created his character, I'm having trouble deciding (becuase of the gothic attire thing) whether he's a Rugged Hero, or a Rugged Anti-Hero. I see a lot of heroes AND villains based on him in pop culture, and as a result, me as well. Pretty cool. I like being a muse for complete artistic strangers.

These are a few of my favorite things...

I invent new topics, then read them on Wikipedia
I start a trend that filters into the media
Topics and Subject Matter tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things

Subject matter and topics with "hundred year history"
That I discovered intuiting willy nilly
Yet no one's written books about it that we see
If no books exist on it How Is That History!

When the dog bits
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad

I just discuss my favorite Wiki themes
and then I don't FEEL....
Sooo BAAAAD.

Anime and You

You know, if I still do end up drawing anime as a manga-ka after all this, it certainly wouldn't be for any kind of money reward. There's just no money in American manga. AT ALL. It's questionable whether that will ever change. I don't set out to "draw anime" OR "manga" really. I appreciate it from an aesthetic viewpoint, I love Japanese culture for the most part, and I take influence from the anime and manga aesthetic, detailing, and pacing style, but aping the genre itself? Seems kind of like a hopeless thing to do, considering how much backlash companies like Tokyopop generated against said genre with things like the name "OEL Manga" and the neat little packing of the whole thing, almost like they were trying to get rich off of it before it even had a chance to make money for publishers to begin with. Bad move Tokyopop. REAL bad move. Priest movie and manga are and look pretty cool though.

Buh-bye.

Buh-bye Iraq War! You have yourself a Merry Little Christmas too.

Honestly, I'm just glad the fighting has been decreasing worldwide.

Propaganda and Subjectivity

Unless you have a lot of money and connections to have complete and utter control and power over some form of propaganda machine—which is biased and questionably manipulative anyway—you can’t really control how other people perceive you.

JOY RIDE: A Short Story

This story does not contain events related to the End Times Universe. The following events are not related to any particular literary universe, other than the one in the author's mind]

Brian Jason, 370 lbs., or Santa Clause as some referred to him as, sat down at the coffee table with a silver, metallic suitcase handcuffed to his left wrist. He punched the numeric lock combination, opening the case, revealing a large pile of narcotics sealed, hidden, within.

Brian tossed a small bag of cocaine onto the table, took the shaving blade out of his pocket, and cut the cocaine into neat little lines, then promptly snorted it, covering his face with white cocaine dust. He stood up. "Those fucks won't stand a chance against me!" he barked at himself, the small house being empty and poorly maintained, dirty all over. "No one stands up to Brian Jason! Not this time! I win this time! Fuck yeah!"

Brian had already left his house and was making his way to the pickup truck in his driveway, when he realized he had forgot to clean the cocaine dust off of his face when a young girl walking with her mother on the sidewalk, looked over and pointed to the man. "Why does that man have so much sugar on his ugly fat face Mommy?" she attempted to whisper and ask. "Fuck you too, bitches!" Brian shouted back at the little girl and her mother, causing them to walk quite a bit faster. He was impatient, indignant, continuing to attempt to enter his truck by jamming the key at the lock on the drivers side. Realizing what the girl had said, he tried to wipe the cocaine off his face with a dirty towel he had stowed away in his truck as he put the key in the ignition. He had a less flowery looking face now, much less pure white from the cocaine anyway. He backed out of his driveway with a honk, so fast he almost ran over the 6 year old girl and her mother as they barely managed to avoid him and got out of his way just in time to save their lives. Then the pickup truck sped away down the street, tires screeching loudly, as smoke from the burning tires left a trail up in the air.

As it exited the suburbs, Brian's truck increased in speed. "No nigger music for me, thanks," he said condescendingly as possible, turning up the classic rock, quiet at first, but shortly afterwards, as loud as it could go. Brian liked, Really liked watching people in traffic look uncomfortable. He liked making them look uncomfortable. He considered that his Gift From God. Any method of annoyance he could use to torture his fellow drivers with discomfort, he did use. The more suffering and disruption other's had to experience on his behalf, the better. This is America, he thought. And annoyance and agitation is Pure White America, which is why he considered himself to be, and if you DON'T think that, I've got a present under my driver's seat for you, he thought. This was Brian's Life Philosophy. Screw Others Over as often as possible. Be annoying and the Lord will provide, in America anyway. "No one fucks with Brian Jason!" He thought with copious amounts of aggression and cocaine rage. Hallucinations began appearing everywhere in his perception surrounding him in his truck. Suddenly he forgot how fast he was going, or what direction he was headed in. A small white line appeared through his windshield in his line of sight. He swurved left, cutting off two other cars, then swerved right, cutting off another three, making some of them crash into other cars. But he himself found he couldn't avoid a crash. His car crashed first into the car in the opposite lane beside him, and then ultimately was taken out by the telephone pole at the busy intersection, which he drove right through bypassing oncoming traffic and a light that had been red, as tires screeched, horrible crunching sounds filled the air, blood splattered all over numerous cars, and resulted in a 20 car pile up.

Brian Jason's vision then faded to white.

Brian's body felt weird, primarily because he was dead. He didn't have a body. Brian was now a formless Witness, unseen by anyone around him. Now that he was cognizant as a spirit, Brian's spirit floated upward to get a look at the local devastation he had caused. There was smoke, fire, flesh, and blood everywhere (including his), mangled cars, mangled and mutilated corpses, police cars, ambulances, firetrucks, helicopters, and people yelling, screaming, fighting, and generally panicking. Sirens, horns. It looked like a traffic Apocalypse. There was no real life, positivity, or hope to be sensed anywhere. Black crows swarmed over head in a flock. What a good job I did! the disembodied spirit thought. Surely for hurting others so much, God wants to reward me in some way. Brian's Spirit hovered around the morbid scene of the pileup for another 20 to 30 minutes, watching the events he caused unfold. He came to his own terrifying realization. "Hey wait a second! Even when I take that many people out with me in the big finale, no one cares about ME?? Why does no one care about Brian Jason! It's like they're TRYING to piss me off! I'll learn them a Real Lesson, the Spirit said to Itself, diving into the helmet of one of the police officers nearest to him

Officer Rick Marx had been having an off day. He had attended to some speeding violations, but other than that, it was a peaceful day, not too many clouds out. Until now. Marx didn't know what to make of this 11 or so car pile-up. It saddened him a bit. Then Marx felt a chill go down his spine. And suddenly, he passed out onto the cement of the street. He regained consciousness as a different person.

Brian suddenly found himself breathing and feeling again. He then realized he wasn't in his own body but the body of an officer dressed in a police uniform. He began walking in the opposite direction of the accident nonchalantly, when another officer, Randal James grabbed his shoulder, stopping him from walking.

"And just where the hell are you going?" asked Randal.
"Uh, I'm going...to file a police report," said the cop who now had one set of creepily vacant eyes.
"Oh. Well okay then. Best of luck," said Randal, as a chill went down his spine, not sure what to make of the blank and emotionless expression on Marx's face, even for a police officer.

Fucker, Brian thought. How Dare he try to stop me. How Dare any of them not weep for my death, even when I killed all those people. Brian got into Marx's police car and drove away. "No one CARES that I'm dead?!! Brian thought in furious rage. They Will ALL Pay.

Lotto Fever

In a bottle of noodles
I found a small green fish
Who told a fish story
He could grant me any wish
"OK!" I said, "That sounds great
I think I understand"
The fish rolled up his sleeves
And said "Your wish is my command"

I want a box of gold
And a palace of pearls
A nice big pool for my sad-eyed girls
I want a car that can fly
And X-Ray eyes
I'd wish for more wishes
''cause it can't get better than this!

So there it was, that's it!
I can quit my job
I've got better things to do all day
''cause in my spare time
I'm in a Rock n' Roll band
And in my full time
I just sit and wait
For my box of gold
And my palace of pearls
A nice big pool for my sad-eyed girls
For the car that can fly
For my X-Ray eyes
I'd like more wishes
''cause it can't get better than this!

I can do anything
''cause I'm wishing for everything!
It could happen
It could happen
Will it be?
You tell me?
Does it get much better than this?

When I woke up
I found the bottle was gone
Someone took it away
I guess I'll just have to wait

For my box of gold
And my palace of pearls
A nice big pool for my sad-eyed girls
For the car that can fly
For my X-Ray eyes
I wish I had more wishes
''cause it didn't get better than this!

I can do anything
''cause I'm wishing for everything!
It could happen
It could happen
Will it be?
You tell me?
Does it get much better than this?

Interesting Theory

I was thinking about scientific systems. I was thinking about renewable energy sources, and it got me wondering.

What if instead of electricity, the world's technology ran entirely or primarily on thermal and solor energy? What would happen if this energy source could generate electrity?

I don't know if anyone's doing this yet. I haven't studied up on it, but the idea just sort of came to me. I thought it would be an interesting concept to share in my blog. Get on that, Scientists and Engineers!

Lies Beautiful People Tell...About Nerds

Yes, I’ll admit, I am a bit of a science, tech, and comics-&-animation nerd. For a while there, I boycotted the term “nerd” when sexy, physically attractive and hideously shallow female pop tarts started using that term to describe themselves and their mates. That was the gayest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve never seen a few idiots (“The Beautiful People”) fuck up such a great and appealing word (“Nerd”) in horrible and horribly gay TV—The Big Bang Theory, certain neo-alterative musicians, pop music, the press, porn actresses, “Teen Hollywood” MTV, VH1, Disney Channel, and G4—in such a short amount of time. When stuff like that was on TV, I disowned my nerd roots. I boycotted that term (“Geek” in particular), just like I boycotted “Designer”. Attractive, ignorant jocks and preps like the kinds in those shows make being a nerd (and at times, a designer as well) so uncool. With them, it’s a fashion statement. It’s shallow. It’s the verbal and categorical equivalent of fashion runway model. Just a lot of beautiful and dumb fucks trying to be “cool” by doing what is “marketable and trendy and marketing approved”. That’s like Chris Rock saying he’s a "civil rights" activist because he's a black actor who "just happens to take nothing seriously, including civil rights!". Just a sad, sad, very sad attempt on behalf of someone trying to be either something they’re not, or something deeper than they are in reality. I don’t see Bill Gates or Steve Jobs proclaiming themselves to be nerds, even though they’re big time nerds. You don’t get the shallowness and creepy “nothing underneath” vibe from Gates and Jobs though.

In terms of being online, I'm actually quite...booked...

In terms of my digital life, I’m more busy than I’m typically comfortable actually admitting: Writing books, writing documents, drawing comics, writing scripts, posting in my blog, tweeting, posting on message board forums, viewing other people’s online art and writing, updating my YouTube site, uploading artwork to my Photobucket account, checking emails, analyzing the market, filling up sketchbooks. Keeping up with anime titles. I mean, I have free time, but not much.

"End Times: The Prep Work" Document

The first major compilation document of work done for my dramatic comic book series and saga, "End Times", which I wrote, designed and created (to construct my comic book stories) is now complete, sitting pretty at right around 200 pgs of scripts, scene outline bits, narration, and comic page layouts. I've done a lot of work on this book. Got a lot of work to go too, technically, but this does sort of feel like a bit of a benchmark.

Getting to 200 pages of actual real content takes a lot of time and work. No small task. I'll admit it's ambitious, but I honestly do feel I'm still able to manage the whole saga (and it's ultimate end product first draft) on my own. I have a vision in my head, and I'm not going to rest until I completely build the series and manifest it down on paper.

OK, deleted. Finally. Just checked.

Sentimentality and Audience Demographics

If there's one thing I've learned Broadblasting Retro TV Cartoons and Anime programming on my youtube channel, and who watches it, well, it kind of breaks down like this, in terms of old shows and old reruns.

For the most part...older shows appeal the most to whatever generation that saw them when they were first distributed. So advertise to the age groups that best understand the retro classics, the ones who cherish and remember their impact and intensity the best: The people who saw that animation as kids and/or teens, who are now young adults or older, whether it was in theatres, on old VHS tapes their/my parents had, or live on TV when they first aired on their respective networks.

Obviously, the new generation has certain members who are open minded that can appreciate older stuff, but in terms of advertising dollars, the biggest payoff is in the generations that remember the classics the most fondly, IF they're even still around, which of course they are if you air your stuff late at night past 10 p.m. i.e. Adult Swim style timeslots.
