What's going on with you 2.0?

Well, my Saturday night plans got ruined. But, I guess they weren't really ruined, they were more changed.

I was supposed to go on a 3rd date with my coworker last night. Instead, he spent 5 hours at my house fixing my computer.

He found the spyware that was on it, and got rid of it and saved everything.

Now I have the updated AVG on my computer and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware on my computer. We let them both scan my computer overnight and now all the bad stuff is gone. YAY!! He used to fix peoples' computers as a side business, so he knew what he was doing.

I apologized today for ruining the night and he said it wasn't ruined, that the goal was to spend time with me, which he did.

I told him that I owe him big time for this. LOL.

And a back-up drive has been added to my Christmas list.

Now, stop visiting all of those explicit sites and you won't have this problem so often. :cool:

Sounds like your change of plans wasn't so bad. Good shit. Y'all got to hang out and you got your PC fixed. WIN WIN!!!! :D

And yes, backup space is crucial these days, especially for people who like to download a lot(like me:smt024).

Yep, I suppose that's true. It doesn't matter what we do, we got to hang out and chat.

Thank you Bookworm. I have printed out your post and laminated it as a bookmark for school as a reminder to keep in my study books. You are a inspiration and a great motivator. I misspoke in another post about not having no friends here. I see you and a few others here as friends. Again thank you.

You're welcome. You have friends here. Stop such nonsense talk.

I'm glad I could be a motivator for you!!
 
I've been trying to come up with a plan to make extra money and I think I found it.

I asked a coworker today about Avon - she used to sell it. The start up cost is very minimal - so minimal that I'm guaranteed to get it back, even it this doesn't work out the way I hope it will.

Plus, it's not just one type of thing (like candles or cookware) - Avon sells everything...which will appeal to more people. My coworker said she made okay money at it, but that she spent a lot on buying stuff for herself. Besides the fact that I hate shopping, I won't be doing that, since I actually need the extra money to pay bills. Until those get under control, I'm on financial lockdown.

So, I'm thinking Avon is my best option right now.

My daughter got a free ticket to Great America through school for her reading minutes. It expires on the 8th. I had to ask her Dad for money so I could take her. I want her to experience her reward for her hard work, so she continues to work hard for what she wants. I feel so badly that I can't seem to give her this stuff on my own. :(

Fingers crossed that Avon works.

You can cross your fingers, just don't hold your breath. LOL.

I doubt he'll direct the movie. But, now that I think about it, didn't they already tap someone else to direct The Hobbit? *looks up imdb* I guess not. Though Peter Jackson is co-writing the script. That's promising!!

Though they're splitting it into 2 movies. ARGH!!
Click to expand...

Well originally it was the guy to did Hellboy, he was originally going to direct the hobbit. But than because of the split, and new line cinema literally taking years to just get started, he dropped the project because he had other stuff he wanted to work on. The latest news I heard was that peter jackson was negotiating directing the two hobbits.

So we'll see how things go.

Babybro, I'm excited for u! Comicon is a great oppourtunity for u! Go convince some ppl to cosplay ur characters and walk around the con. It's good advertisement!

I wish I could go but I can't even afford something like siggraph, and that's about as important to my career as comicon is to urs.
Click to expand...

HAHA actually I was going to hire two models to cosplay as two of my characters from my comic, two out three main characters to be exact. It shouldn't be too difficult because the characters are dressed up in regular clothes, the issue would be how to have them advertise my product since they aren't wearing a specific "costume per say."

and I heard of siggraph, but isn't that located in LA? And aren't you in chicago? I'm telling you, you need to move down here to cali, especially for your field, there are tons of cons here.

BA said:
I feel ya. People tend to not want to try new things. At Comicon, people lean towards the more fantasy type of deal, but I hope they open up and expand their tastes.

And that was fucked up how dude skipped your book. That's some bullshit. Keep your head up though. Don't look down unless you see some money on the ground. :D

It would be so badass is Olivia Munn stopped by your booth next year, in her Princess Leia costume. That would be the shit.
Click to expand...

Well I don't really think it was that. It was actually two black women who bypassed my product. You see the cover page had a white young woman holding up her biracial little brother in her arms. So I had a feeling that displaying that sort of affection might "sting" part of the audience. But it was only a feeling, it was just sad to actually witness it. And that's actually my biggest fear. My comic is heavily diverse, but if it ever became popular, I could picture a large outcry against it, just because the focus is on interracial siblings. (Remember the flack that the blind side received?) Add the fact that later on within the issue, there will be an IR relationship, and I have a big feeling that either 1) A lot of people won't like my product because it crosses those boundaries. or 2) My product will become popular, which in the process would create a backlash by certain members.

So we'll see.
 
Got a machete pulled on us tonight, well, my drunk friend, mainly.

So, my friend and I go to our friend's apartment and he's a little drunk when we get there. He makes a drink with hella alcohol and only had a little Coke left, so the drink was strong as hell. A little while later, we're on the balcony and one of the ghetto heathens from downstairs(or friend of the ghetto heathens from downstairs) is walking by and says something out loud. My drunk friend leans over the balcony as yells, "who the fuck is that!!!! Oh, it's Julian(name of the heathen yell downstairs, and he's drunk, too)". Julian and him jokingly talk shit back and forth. "You a crazy ass white boy. You can't be yellin' this shit in Highlands. I just got robbed right there man. I was ready to stab them muthafuckas". We see the dude with a machete in his hand and we're like "that's a machete. Nice!" Drunk friend asks what the machete was for. Julian says jokingly, "for crazy whiteboys like you". Julian is swinging around his machete and goes, "man, my nigga just knocked over my pint and my 4 Loco. I got no alcohol. I'm ready to hit a lick, for real". And I'm thinkg, "man, the fuck you thinkin', and with a machete of all things, drunk as hell, and nothing to cover your face".

Then, drunk friend wants to tell him something and you know when people get drunk they just repeat your name over and over to make sure you are listening? Yeah, well, "Julian, Julian, Julian, listen to me. Hey, Julian. Hey, Julain, man." Sober friend and I have been laughing for a minute at this exchange. Juilian then says, "Yo, man. My family disowned me. I don't go by Julian anymore. I go by Lethal. L-E-A-T-H-A-L(Yes, he spelled lethal like that)." At this point, sober friend and I are dying. When he said "lethal", sober friend and I automatically think of the Leathal Interjection Crew from the Boondocks and go, "aight, Thugnificent" as we're damn near pissing ourselves. Julian then laughs and goes, "Awww, fuck y'all Boondocks watchin' ass muthafuckas". Then, drunk friend wants to go down and talk to Julian. Julian gives sober friend the machete from downstair to the balcony so he doesn't threaten drunk friend. Sober friend and I are checking out the machete and don't know what they're talking about downstairs, then, the next thing we hear is Julian saying, "Man, y'all better come get your boy". Awww, shit. So we go downstairs and we see drunk friend all up in Julian's face. Literally 1 inch from kissing.

We go down and try to split them up, and for some reason, drunk friend gets a little hype and tries to run up on Julian. Julian walks up the stairs and drunk friend goes, "Hey, motherfucker. You better not be walking up my stairs." The way he said it was so damn funny. Again, sober friend and I are dying. While we're trying to hold back drunk friend while Julian picks up the machete that sober friend set on the stairs(because he wasn't going to hand the machete to any of those drunk mufuckas), and dude just flips it and points the machete at drunk friend's face in one smooth motion, despite being drunk. I swear, that shit was straight out of a movie. You know in the moives where the person draws their sword and you hear the metal "schwing!!!!" against the sheath or whatever else? Yeah. Then, I know this shit is getting way out of hand. Our friend we are trying to hold back is the strongest one in our group by far. Fuckin' farmboy strength. Tree trunk arms and fuckin' bear claw size mits. Nicknames include "Hands" and "Mits". And he's drunk as hell. My 150 pounds ass is having trouble just hloding his ONE arm back while holding on to the railing so I have something to grip on if he tries to break free and toss me.

Julian then take off his vest n' shit like he's ready to fight. Then he goes up to drunk friend and talks about how much shittier he has it, whcih he did. He tells him how his wife left him, kid left him parents disowned him ,gettng evicted, friend spilled his alcohol:smt030 and some other shit, and how he's psycho(I believed it. Dude had nothing to lose, really). I'm getting paranoid because their apartments are on the corner of the block of a main street, and cops pass by every 10 minutes. Julian is bouncing around ready to fight and he has the machete and sober friend and I are scared that one of us is gonna get sliced over some bullshit. Then, after we manage to cool them down after 3 minutes, Julian reaches for a handshake to make up and I'm wondering if they're still mad or not, because the entire time it was a bipolar argument. It would seem like they were cool one minute, then 12 seconds later they were heated. Julian initiates handshake and drunk friend shakes, but tries to man up the shake and is gripping his hand like a muthafucka and you can still see in his eyes that he's pissed. Julian tells him, "man, I ain't trying to man up on you. Stop squeezing my hand so damn much. I'm psycho, man. I'm ready to hit a lick and blah, blah, blah." They finally finish the handshake and we all shake ands n' shit and then Julian leaves to probably go rob somebody. Drunk friend was still pissed and we could tell he wanted to kick his ass(and he said so himself). He actually wanted to post outside on the steps and wait for Julian to come back so he could fight. We obviously said no.



I've lost count of how many times my group have gotten weapons pulled on us, but this is a memory to be documented in the chronicles of our group. Those folks downstairs are some drug dealing pieces of shit with hell akinds running around. Drunk friend called CPS on them today. They also have this kitten that's always meowing/crying. We're like "what the fuck are y'all doing with that kitten?"

Yeah, this is a long ass story. Y'all probably didn't read the shit, but I'm bored at 3 in the morning.
 
wow BA thats some crazy shit

less booze for your friend me thinks

i had a friend that used to get me into dangerous situations ALOT, had to cut her loose in the end for my saftey
 
Babybro- dude, when is comicon? U could put together a two or three page teaser promo or something for the chicks to hand out. Then they could be dressed just like the characters in the promo, and they'd have an excuse to stop ppl and talk to them and direct them to ur booth.

And nah, I'm in Houston but yeah siggraph was in LA this year. Next year it's supposed to be in Vancouver. That shit changes every year. >.<


Lil' Bruh - u gon get urself hurt someday lol y'all are crazy

Hahaha, sounds like my times back in detroit. I'm so glad I left that place. Good thing nothing happen to you. But I wouldn't recommend tempting fate too many times, it might bite you in the buttocks one of these days lol.

Comic con next year should some time in July as usual. But that's an excellent ideal. I actually already establish the pages and panels for a promo prologue that's going to debut in this book at comic con LA. So I can use that same promo to hand out for free at comic con next year! Thanks a lot for that.

hahaha, well I guess it's a good thing that siggraph changes cause it could come closer to you eventually. Luckily comic con stays put for me, I don't want to go to cross country just to go to comic con, even though there are comic cons in tons of states now.
 
So, I met a guy through my friend, let's call him John. They are best buddies. We hang out 3 or 4 times all together and last week I happened to notice I kind of liked John. He told me some nice things and offered me a rose etc, things that I interpretated like a sign that he might like me too. He said he would have cooked for me once he got back from a work trip. Then my friend told me that one of his friends like me but he must keep the secret, so I was happy because I thought it was John.
So he left for 2 weeks abroad and I was like fantasizing etc and thinking about what to do when he comes back bla bla bla.
I noticed he didn't reply to my facebook notes anymore but I didn't want to trip over it since I know he is there to work.
This morning, I opened facebook and I saw he uploaded an album of pics from the place where he is now and in 2 other pics there's him hugging a girl (I thought it was one of his friends...), and in the second it's them kissing passionately. I guess he got a girlfriend and she isn't from the place where he is, it's her coworker, I'm sure.
Soooooo well, I was pretty upset. I am pretty upset.
My friends told me to wait till he comes back, that maybe it's just a flirt etc, but which man put pics of him kissing a girl and tag her in them if he doesn't really care???

Ha, men. I want to go abroad toooooooo :( I'm a loser. LOL

Sorry to hear that Thickie, but I have to agree with you....no single guy will put a picture like that on his Facebook.

Well, the best thing you can say now is, "NEXT!!"

You'll find someone. You're a great lady....
 
Gotta go to LA for a bullshit ass family reunion to see my bullshit ass family, tomorrow. And my cousin, who always gets out of going to LA because he always has badass plans, is on a 5 day cruise in Mexico with his friend right now.

Fuck it. I at least get to fly to Alabama to see my dad after that. FMF, Fuck my family(most of them).
 
Bah. I decided to not pursue the new job. So I'm still at my old one. >.< still looking for something else, though.

Supposedly I'm due for a raise by the end of the month. And my fucking promotion better happen soon, cause otherwise imma be pissed.

On an up note, my first paid photography shoot is scheduled on Sunday. A friend of mine wants wedding pictures. I won't be charging too much cause she's a friend, and the shoot isn't overly complicated (it's after the wedding, which is on Saturday) but it's nice to have a paying gig, especially since they gave me Sunday off at work. So I guess I'll charge her about what I'd make if they would have gave me the hours I needed on Sunday.

Bah I'm just so tired. I haven't had a real day off since I've been back from visiting my mom, unless I'm forgetting something.

School is still fucking up my finances. Been applying for scholarships. Hope one comes through.
