As promised, another webcomic:
I need to check, but I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a series soon. It’ll be geeky, so watch out! ![]()
I write. You read. Go figure.
Apparently, when I get emotional I write poetry. The mood of it explains the mood I was in when it was written - which is pretty much how I do that. Anyway, here’s a poem:
It dulls your senses
Makes your head throb
Makes you rage against one -
Someone?
No one.
Howling at the white moon framed by the black sky
Black like your pain.
Wings of hatred sprout, and you fly
Away from it all
Information floods your brain
Like that tall gray wall that is your pride has finally broken
under the relentless attack (cliché though it is)
of that hurricane of feelings
It never ends.
Only waits, watching.
And your soul dies, over and over
Reborn each time - a surreal phoenix, if you will - comprised of your thoughts, hopes, dreams
Emerges anew when the call of this phoenix is answered and the sun rises
And your eyes dry, yet still smart from the heat
Stinging and twitching with memory.
The human race is not forgiving, nor is it ever forgiven.
This is not said without good reason.
I’m going to be entering this into a competition soon since I thought it was pretty good. I wondered at how the words seemed to flow straight from my mind to the paper - the pencil only a gateway. Of course, see where it gets me? Now I’m being what I call “clichéd poetic” without even trying. Anyway, hope you like it, and there’s another webcomic coming soon (possibly a series soon too!).
A friend of mine happens to be a very good graphic artist, and also pretty funny, too. So when he gets funny ideas, unlike the rest of us, who either write them down and wish we could do something with them or just forget about them, he makes comics. Inspired by others, such as xkcd and more, he creates them in his own personal style.
I thought they were funny, and decided to share them with you. What do you think?
Hopefully I’ll be able to post them fairly regularly. Hope you like it! Comment if you have any ideas, I’m sure he’d be delighted to illustrate them if they’re funny enough.
I’m amazingly tired - mowing two acres of lawn (with lots of fun terrain!) seems to do that - but also amazingly satisfied. After sushi and a bagel (a repast to thrive on), here it comes
Tip III:
Use your resources.
This may seem a bit simple, but it’s definitely true. No matter the actual type of resource - be it friends, books, teachers, maybe even (gasp!) parents - they will give you information. This is evident for me in that when I don’t write down my homework, I have nowhere to go: my parents haven’t the faintest, my friends aren’t in the same class, and emailing teachers takes time. Luckily for me, I have another resource - Facebook. A glance at a schoolmate’s page reveals an AIM screenname.
One fairly new resource we now have is technology. I use either Hiveminder or RTM for my organizational needs, mainly homework (reviews pending). I can IM a friend, check the homework page, or email a teacher now - instead of waiting helplessly like I used to.
I’m glad to be finishing this post. Not only was it hard to write, but it’s also my first post here on r.ompo.us. It’s sentimental… With stress on the “mental” part. In other news, a quick question to readers: What theme should I use for my blog? The basic K2 is getting boring. As stated above, reviews on to do listing programs pending.
