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!

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.
Ever had a situation where you’re dying for a poll on something and you need your results fast? After asking the parentals and maybe your siblings you have nowhere else to go!
Fear no more! Doxory is here!
Doxory (despite the humble origins of the name, “Do… x? or y?,” Doxory is pronounced DOC-sor-ee) is a new web 2.0 app developed by the creators of Hiveminder, Best Practical. If you have used Hiveminder, you’ll know that Best Practical is an awesome company, catering to the needs of the online public.
Doxory is Twitter for choices. You basically tell people what you’re doing, then let them decide what you should do. If you don’t understand that, let me walk you through it. After signing up for an account, all you need to do is enter a question. My latest question was on “Using doxory”. Afterwards, you enter two choices, the x and the y of the question. My choices were “Use it and be done with it?” or “Get professional help as to why I’m asking the public about problems in my private life?” (the query has been up for a while, grabbing a few votes for both sides, but is still up in the air) As the site itself says, “The best kinds of questions to ask are existential dilemmas. What should I do with the next five years of my life? Go to grad school or Join the circus?” Doxory is also useful for trivial matter you have in your everyday life. Need help deciding what to have for dinner?
ask Doxory!
