And NOW, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to talk to you about a subject near and dear to my heart...The remains of Adolf Hitler's corpse during World War II

As the legend of deserved death goes: Hitler in his  bunker on his las legs, took 2 cyanide pills, stuck a revolver in his mouth and blew his brains out as the cynanide pills were taking effect. BLAM! Choke. BRAVO! And the crowd goes wild! At which point not far afterward the Russian army flew over head and bombed the shit out of his bunker. POWPOWPOW!!! The Russians didn't find a CORPSE. They found the smoldering remains out of PIECES of a corpse and did God knows what to it. It's a mystery. Now if only that could have happened 10 million times over there'd be real justice in the world. But unfortunately, there isn't Justice in this world much of the time

Good Night Boston!

Me n' Da Industry. Da Industry n' Me.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to break into traditional comics publishing as an artist or writer. Perhaps because it was always (and always felt like) more of a challenge to succeed in commercial print bookstore and comics shop publishing than it did to succeed in digital publishing and webcomics, even though the latter doesn’t pay much if anything most of the time, and the former does. But with new media becoming increasingly more popular, and traditional media like books and comics losing sales, one has to wonder where the readers money actually is going: To digital or to print. Or are readers PAYING FOR anything at all? I’m not a commercial publisher. I don’t have tabs on this kind of information. It would make my job easier if I did, but I don’t, so like everyone else I read blogs, online articles, and the trades. But deciding where an upstart artist and writer like myself fits into the industry, be it manga, indie comics, or webcomics, is no easy task. If I can’t pinpoint it, I have doubts anyone else ever will.

Strategy and Family: A volatile mix

If my father were a war general in another lifetime, his "strategy" would be this:

"Do the most obvious, most direct, most naked thing possible, and don't anticipate any strategic or defensive moves on any of your enemy's parts. They'll just let you into their home base of course!"

&

"Full frontal assualt on the main road, fully advertised to the enemy, and full exposure of all defenses that are easy for enemies to spot"

Good luck with that, Dad. Go let someone kill you, because they definitely will.

New Fiction Piece I'm Working On

Multi-Race: An Autobiographical Short Story

Synopsis: A young baby with a mysterious Eurasian past and high visionary creative sensitivity and intelligence is adopted by loving white parents, but eventually grows to question his community, peers, mind, and ultimately, his own identity and place in the world after his life is threatened by a sociopathic acquaintance who stalks him and wants him dead, and the comforting innocence of the young man’s childhood has faded.

You know, I really, REALLY hate writing by internet-accessible computer.

God only knows what's sneaking into your CPU.

Trying to write with a non-wireless, hacked computer and compose literary compositions iss like being a musician trying to tune your electric guitar before a concert, where the stadium is ALREADY FILLED with a drunk, drug induced, and disorderly studio audience who show up at your rehearsal space...BEFORE THE FUCKING CONCERT EVEN STARTS. Just this massive impossible task. It's impossible to practice writing in such insane safety conditions. Essentially not possible, no matter HOW MUCH effort is put into it on the author's behalf. Not everything from the performer is a performance, and yet the audience (my audience) seems to relish in reacting this way. Fucking scary.

Exit to a Film...

Now I will admit, I did kind of leave my last job in the media with both my middle fingers raised high into the air, straight at America and most of the world. But no more of that...probably.

Still though, sometimes you don't want to put up with asshole crap.

Venture Industries

To think, I spent all this time, at least 4-5 months nonstop venturing into the big business and tech manufacturing world as a freelance inventor entrepreneur, and yet, now that I technically CAN talk about it, even with such legal freedom, I don't really much feel like talking about it. I'm just so used to not talking about my big business negotiations and adventures online. I should be spilling my guts to the world like usual, and yet this time around, I just don't feel up to issuing a public statement about that time of my life...
