Boredom, to put it simply.
Everyone told me that once I entered the "Real World", all my free time would disappear and my responsibilities would lock me into an invisible box of stress, work and money problems. I imagined myself as a a mime, face wrought with panic; pawing at the walls, wanting to escape. I don't think I ever heard any different, so I accepted this as ( Read more... ) -

I haven't written a sarcastic essay in a while, so I decided to sit down and have a go at a topic that's been on my mind for a while now: the utter violence in Sony's classic video game "Spyro The Dragon". So here's what I came up with:

Dear Self,
Next time you lose something, check the place you originally thought of checking. It turns out your f*cking phone was in your f*cking car the whole time*, you stupid f*ggot.

And (although only one person has admitted it, we're sure the rest feel the same way) my mother's employ of our gay gourmet, ( Read more... ) -

This is just a prologue
I'm done. 4:30 PM Saturday until now- 11 PM Sunday- I have completed the final installment of Harry Potter. I thought I would cry, or at least feel some sort of emotional distress upon finishing the story; Harry Potter (and I know I'm not alone) had become a very important part of my life. Since I finished the first book so many years ago, my ( Read more... ) -
"Arbre mort" Photoshop Tutorial
I've been asked on several occasions how I create my digital prints, so, for the sake of education, I have compiled a nice little tutorial. I may plan to do more, but for now I'll start with the creation of one my more popular prints- "Arbre mort".

I have waaayy too much time on my hands.
I've been working on a constructed language for years. From explaining the basic premises and rules to random people that cared enough to listen, I've created an entire educative web page to cater to those same people on the global level. The language actually was a passive aggressive slam directed at Esperanto- making it easier to learn and ( Read more... ) -
