I want to be an artist

I want to learn how to draw. I remember when I was young I use to draw all the time but now I suck at it. I really want to learn how to draw.

I think it all started with the idea that I wanted to create a comic strip but then I thought, maybe it would help if knew how to draw and then that stopped but now I've starting to think about it again. Ok I really want to learn how to draw Manga. There's this comic strip I've been reading called MegaTokyo and I'm really enjoying the story and I sort of wish that I could create something like that.

It would be nice to be able to create a self portrait and put it up or draw the people around me or people far away in that big eye mange style. I would like to draw elves in that style or something else. Either way I want to draw and show my artwork to the world but stick figures won't cut it.

Maybe I'll have more time in the near future.

Breast Physics

Last Christmas a game came out called Rumble Roses. It was an all-women wrestling game where it seemed that more attention was paid to the body parts then to the actual game play, according to reviews. I hear that the characters are stereotypical and the story is boring and they put in a "mud wrestling" stage but it looks more like chocolate milk than mud. The one thing that concerns me though is that the developer seemed to put more work into making the wrestlers look right than anything else.

One thing that they seemed to have worked on is making sure the women's breasts move as realistic as possible. Now some people might think, 'Oh boy, look at them go' but as far as I'm concerned, that's secondary to actual game play. Then I wondered what process did they go through in order to make sure they had the 'puppies' move right? (After I asked myself how I could get that job? )

In many sports games, they use motion capture in order to make sure that the players move as accurate as possible so I was wondering if they used the same technique to catch the subtle movements of the jiggle? I can picture some women who just happened to be 'blessed' are forced to wear the stop motion suits and have someone draw several white dots on their breasts and then are told to jump around. These people must be so proud (I wonder if they got Jessica Karr to do it? ), standing around, then jumping up and down while the camera focuses on their breasts. MMM I wonder if I can get that job? So the end result is that while the game is nice to look at, but not fun to play. Oh well. So this means that sex doesn't always sell (Aklaim tried it with BMX XXX and now they're bankrupt). So does this mean that all the video game playing guys out there are interested in more than the subtle movements of a woman's anatomy? Well these are priorities and sex and videogames don't always match.

So let this be a lesson to all you women out there. Videogame players are not a bunch of perverts who live in their parents basement, downloading 'altered' photo of female Star Trek characters. I live in my own apartment. *SMIRK*

I heard ya miss me I'm BACK !!!

It seems like lately that I’m straining my brain in thinking of topics to chat about in my blog. I think I’m starting to slow down. Either that or its just a dry spell.

Now that I think about it, it all started when I told myself not to talk about sex or sexual related subjects. I was concerned that people would think that I was a perverted freak or something so I stop talking about people who designed dildo’s, and other sex toys. I stopped talking about Jessica Karr (I still get people hitting my website looking for her, apparently she was in Playboy as well.) and anything of a somewhat naughty nature.

I remember being concerned about what people thought of me, and I thought, maybe I should ease up on some of my content and as a result, I think I’m getting boring. Well I’ve made a decision, just now actually, that I’m not going to do that anymore. The strange naughty ideas are coming back (and none to soon for some people).

To be honest, that last bit about deciding to write more about “naughty” stuff, wasn’t what I intended to talk about. Then I reminded myself of those old posts where I wondered who gets to name dildo’s and how did Jessica Karr get that part in Bad Boys and I remembered how much more fun I had writing my blog, not that I ever intended to quit.

Now don’t think that I was ever crude, at least I don’t think I was. I never outright spoke about sex or swore for the sake of swearing. I’ve always managed to talk about sex without actually talking about sex (if that makes sense) so I’m going to see if the old me can come back and stir some trouble and to everyone else, I’m sorry for what is about to happen.

I'll decide what to watch, thank you.

Saving Private Ryan has been ruled as 'not indecent' by the FCC. Well thank god for that, someone down there is finally being realistic about things.

It was around Remembrance Day (I think) that ABC in the U. S. decided to air Saving Private Ryan in honor of Veterans and a huge amount of affiliates refused to show the movie for fear of being fined because someone would find it indecent. Well someone did (or a bunch of someone's complained) and the FCC had to investigate and made their ruling towards sanity.

While Saving Private Ryan has a gritty and harsh beginning, it considered accurate. A lot of people died that day. It was a bloody battle with many lives lost and I'm pretty sure people were swearing and not using the words "Oh gosh darn, I'm got my arm shot off". Is the reality of war offensive to people like the Parents Television Council ? (I'm not linking them, screw em). Am I wrong but did these people die in order to protect freedom? The same freedom these parents groups are fighting against. First it starts with words and pictures and next thing it becomes ideas and before you know it, your freedoms are gone. (Is this how things are in police states? ) I remember watching some mini series about Hitler and the Nazi party. In it they burned books 'for the sake of decency' as well.

The fact that these people are claiming a movie that honors the courage of veterans during a time of insanity is indecent and dishonors those same veterans who died on that beach over 50 years ago and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh yeah, the FCC also said "Will and Grace" is ok, as well as an episode of "C. S. I. " was fine as well. I'm really starting to dread these people and I hope they go away. It's because of these people that I'm glad to be Canadian and live in a country where freedom of expression is encouraged and if the 'F Bomb' is dropped, its for the sake of the show. Canadian programs like 'North of 60' and 'Trailer Park Boys' have people cursing in it and its to add to the story. Who's going to believe that some pot growing, mullet wearing, white trash dumb ass isn't going to say fuck all the time. I heard that someone tried to bring the show to the U. S. but 'clean it up', yeah right. Screw up your own TV programs, don't mess with ours.

Well I hope something happens soon down there because its going to get from bad to worse before you know it. I hope that someone down there realizes that and stands up to protect their freedoms. (Not like the senator who wants to control what is decent on Cable and Satellite as well)
