In the contents of this post is a look at how I’ve loved drawing since I was 4, what’s happened since, and something I’ve been pondering since I decided to do comics.
Agenda for June 12th to June 18th
THIS WEEK:
- Midtown Blog: Already done
- Plot Black Ops 51 for about 3 stories worth UPDATE 06/17: Still working out the group’s composition.
- Re-Plot Wrayth UPDATE 06/17: This has become a challenge!
- Outline issue 2 of Wrayth
- See Green Lantern: will post a review soon!
- Read a non-comic/magazine for about 20 – 30 pages (finish whatever chapter page 30 is in)
- Finish my “Drawing” Blog post
- Groceries
- Check out jobs on Craigslist, see what’s out there. Maybe part time? Two jobs at once + writing isn’t fun, but it’d mean my freedom from the parentals.
Honestly, I don’t know anymore. I think I’m being really stupid and stubborn. That’s the Asian Survivalist in me. He wants me to get a decent paying job and live safely. The “Writing is my Life” guy wants me to go for what I really want. Honestly? The Lazy Ass is beating them both anyway. So we all have to kick Lazy Ass out and THEN let the other two fight it out.

New Blog: Raph’s Baseblog
In an attempt to write more, and write about different things, I decided to make a baseball blog over at http://www.raphbaseblog.wordpress.com!
What can you expect there? Probably fantasy baseball talk, Yankees talk, overall baseball talk.
Fantasy Baseball Week 5 Analysis
This week wasn’t so bad. Let’s talk about it.
FINALLY!
Linked my Geeks Unite Network blog to this user name… don’t have to constantly log in and out of wordpress.
Shoulda done this MONTHS ago.
End of statement.
UPDATE: May 8th, 2011
So it’s been a week since Super Show, which is arguably the best weekend of the year for me. I haven’t really done much work in terms of comics writing, but that’s mostly been due to my crazy schedule:
Monday: Decompress day, write a blog
Tuesday: Work 11 am – 9:30pm
Wednesday: Get up at 7am, Thor Screening, podcast recording, write two blogs
Thursday: Work 11 am – 9pm
Friday: Work 11 am - 9pm
Saturday: Free Comic Book Day, hang out with Ian.
I didn’t get a lot of sleep due to various reasons (early mornings, dog not being able to breathe, caffeine induced insomnia, regular insomnia) so I was pretty exhausted by the end of last night. Had work today, editing podcast as I type this…
I wonder if I can keep up with all of this and keep sane. The answer has been no: I stopped podcasting for months, I will tend to hermit away. I haven’t written anything. I’ve organized thoughts. I owe people e-mails and proposals. I gotta get to all of this. I gotta get to finding artists. I would feel upset with myself usually, or disappointed, but the feeling in the air is different. Being surrounded by a few hundred people who care about the same thing you do, who want to see you succeed (even if they want you to shut the hell up sometimes) is a very heartwarming thing. Of the 365 days of the year, I get that maybe 3 days. So I cherish the time I spend with everyone and I hold onto this as long as I can. In past years, the feeling went away, let’s hope I don’t waste it this year.
