Well, ActionToonTV is MIA....

Not going into details, maybe some day...

Before I started self-publishing...

You know, I never would have predicted I'd have books and comics published and available on Amazon by the age of 30. But here I am.

And though they are not perfect books by any means, that opportunity does not happen to every cartoonist online.

So it's not all bad.

Boring Life

Ever since I stopped attending art school and community college. Ever since I became famous, I feel like my life has been stuck in some kind of weird emotional and spiritual Purgatory for the last 12 years, stuck at a computer desk or two.

IT SUCKS. The entire world has passed me by.

"STOP THAT WRITER!!! NOW!!!!""

Some people try to "Talk me out of writing this much". Yeah, right. They're all envious, obviously. Like that'd ever happen! Ha ha! The habit is too hard wired into my mind now. It's automatic. My words in my word processor are like bullets in a machine gun, ready to mow pretty much anyone down as circumstances warrant. I'm very at home here. I'm comfortable here. On a word processor. Any word processor, really. In a perfect world, my artist's psyche wouldn't be blocked, and would be just as bulletproof as my journal sessions, but by now it's obvious to me bulletproof art work schedules and bulletproof writing schedules are entirely different things.

Had some ominous dreams this morning...about...

Traitor(s)

To see a traitor in your dream suggests that you are feeling let down. Someone has disappointed you or let you down in some way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Betrayal

To dream that you have been betrayed represents your suspicions about a particular person, relationship or situation. This dream often occurs when you are having feelings of insecurity and are faced with major commitments in your life at the same time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dreamed a typical handsome looking not so clean shaven brown short haired white collared class man was with me in the Nevada or Arizona desert, a dry place with sand covering everything, here, explore this underground cellar he said. Then it flooded with water, and suddenly I was swimming  back up through the tunnel cellar, and he was looking down at me in the sandy Arizona sun, smiling, and began to laugh looking down at me from above, just as I was running out of oxygen.

AH  HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!!

He laughed deeply, all sinister like, right as he was closing the cellar doors on me with his white collar white suite and light brown unwrinkled khaki pants....

End Dream

The Making of Ghost in the Shell - A Production Report (1995 U.S. Release)

Parents Finally Caved: Leaving Florida (Probably Forever)

Parents:

"We'll PAY for your moving up North and living expenses out of state, but only with a handful of $100s a month, and you have to save it up over time. We'll help you find a place to live and pay you're bills but you're on a budget...."

Eh. Better than nothing...

Moving Day. IS FINALLY IN SIGHT!

After many years of being stuck in one spot, and quite miserably so, around miserable people all day, I am finally getting the opportunity to relocate either out west or up north. Still deciding. Anywhere other than "southeast"

The selection process, and invariable talk with higher ups will be rough, but  I'm looking forward to the change in scenery, and weather, and landmarks, and house or apartment. I just started saving up all my social security disability paychecks, and now I actually have enough money to relocate, or will very soon, within the next year by the end of 2016. I was even considering living in Ontario at one point.

America: With Inferiority for All. The Falsehood of Equality

Well I know the internet likes to promote a fraudulent message of fake equality, that the 7 billion people on this planet are all EXACTLY the same thing, act EXACTLY the same way, and all function with a knowledge base at EXACTLY the SAME level. Which is a lie.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we AREN'T all the same. We are NOT "all equal". Some of us are indeed better than others. Some of us aren't just BETTER than others. Some of us are LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF OTHERS, of EVERYONE ELSE. That's what the media doesn't want us to question is this False Equality. The Illusion of Equality. Some people ARE better than many others, and some are WORSE than many others. Not everyone has the same level of ability and skill, and not everyone is smart or has the right to call themselves "equally proficient" at any of those things, because "we" are NOT.

WRATH OF THE MARIJUANA! The Negative Effects of Marijuana's influence on the Young Adult and Teenage Brain:

·        They turn you into a white trash bully who calls people the word "faggot" and "fucker" instead of their real names.

·        You make a lot of vocalized noise with your mouth.

·        You become a genuinely bad yet somehow unapologetic neighbor

·        You attract drug dealers and drug busts to your neighborhood, and incite violence and aggression in everyone around you

·        You don't want to take accountability for your own words and actions

·        You hide your activities from the police, expecting never to get caught

·        Your mother needs to wash your mouth out with soap

You become the worst, most noisiest neighbor in your entire neighborhood.

You become a MASTER HACKER. WHOA!

Did I mention you become hyper meddlesome and nosy towards other people's dealings and business and hyper judgemental??? HUH????? HAHA.

Did I mention you have a heightened sense of audible and vocal projection and perception, a so-called "ghost" who avoids getting arrested???? HUH HUH HUH HUH!!!! DID I MENTION THAT!!!!

Did I mention you grow to depise everyone who isn't a raging homophobic FLAMER SOCIO-PSYCHOPATH like YOU ARE, and HATE EVERYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO LAUGH AND HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR????HEHEHEHEEHHIGHONMARYJANE!!Please don't call the cops!!!!!!! Did I mention that along with hating the humor of others, you also run screaming from the room of those same others who approach you with a BASEBALL BAT! AAAAAAHHHHHHGGGGHHH!!! OH GOD He's FINALLY GETTING HIS REVENGE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·        Some fans think I'm the bad guy
