    This is what I cry for...

    ...The human spirit cannot die.

    At this point, most artists would say that they're hard at work on the next installment in their shit (lol), and that they're just being bogged down by school/work/social life. Unfortunately, I don't have the comfort of some of that. I'm NOT hard at work on Chapter 3, not yet at least.

    My life is full to the brim with business. The holiday is almost here, so work is getting batshit crazy already, especially with the release of Modern Warfare 2 coming up. And a lot of school hours on top of that, and that just leaves one day a week for free time: Sunday. Then there's weekend homework to be done, and today I had to babysit my minuscule but destructive cousins in my own room, which is the equivalent of just FUCK happening to my room, which doesn't make any sense, but that's all I can label it for now. I already own a copy of Modern Warfare 2 (LEGALLY), but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I managed to blow through Uncharted 2 in four days. Not sure how, but I did, and it was fuckin' amazing; best game I've played in a very long time. My laptop got fucked up somehow, but it's fixed now thanks to Windows 7, which I'm still trying to get used to. My music library keeps fucking up on Windows Media Player, and I'm too sleepy to fix it now. Managing 300+ hours of metal isn't easy, I'm afraid. And then you have Nataly, and she's just awesome, no matter how you slice it. And as she reads this sentence, she is smiling, almost blushing, because I know her too well, and this just made her smile even more.


    Look at the pain around me. This what I die for.

    Battle Drum

    The scope grows ever wider. In the span of the last 4 minutes, I've created a whole new villain to join the already vast pantheon of "EVILDOERS" that I've created. In total, this one makes....ummm....9, each with their own background, resolution, and reason for being "bad," if you want to call it that (I like to think that there's more to it than just good and evil). I'm still not sure where I'm going to place this guy in the story, or how I'm going to get his story told, as he's pretty much one of the most minor of the 9, and all of his actions go on behind the scenes, yet his decisions are (now) crucial to the tides of the war. I have an idea right now, but I need to meditate on it some more. The Final Fantasy XII soundtrack is really helpful in this aspect.

    Like moths to a flame...

    Having trouble working on Chapter 3. Introducing main characters is always so difficult, even though I've done three drafts of this chapter in the past. He's easily one of my favorites, and I want to do his entrance justice.

    On a more personal tangent, I find that I enjoy villains far more often than heroes. My favorite characters in my books are mostly the bad guys. Out of the top 5, 3 of them are evil. I take a lot of inspiration from bad guys in other popular works. Among them are Anakin Skywalker, Claude Frollo, and Heath Ledger's Joker. In fact, I guess you could say that my number 1 favorite character (the main villain of the story) is sort of a combination of all three of those guys. He's got Anakin's desperation, Frollo's lust, and Joker's psychotic view of the world. I look forward to delving into his backstory in Book IV, if I ever get that far. Then there's 2 and 3, both of whom are also villains, but this time of the redeemable kind. I find stories of redemption to be quite intriguing, and hope that I do the subject justice.

    I really have no idea as to the point of that last paragraph; I just felt the need to say that and write it down. Felt good.


    There are far worse things awaiting man than death...
