        <itunes:summary>Homework or any work really is like a sliver you don't want to pull out.

You know you're better off if you pull it our right away, but that doesn't matter.

"I'll just leave it there, eventually it will solve itself", But it didn't did it?

Now your hand is infected, and it's twice as hard to get out the blasted sliver. Man am I ever jealous of people who took their slivers out early.

So now it's a critical decision, to pull out the painful sliver, or just amputate your hand, and fail the course. Sure it's painful, and I don't quite know the logistics of growing a new hand, but that would be easier...

note: I'm thinking of starting a text only blog, no videos, pictures, etcetera, just text, this will force me to work on more stories like this...ps. my studies are going well</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>So we had talent show at school I figured why not enter, stage time is stage time right? 

It wasn't really the best show, I was feeling sick so I wasn't as animated as I should have been, and I did a few jokes I shouldn't have done. 

At least it's a fun little clip to get you up to speed of how I spend my time.

(I think there is some profanity, just once or twice, not excessive, but you might want headphones)

More updates: 

	FWR is on hiatus, I'm going to try and focus on the idea show. It just hasn't been getting the attention it should and I think I can use my time to create other better videos

	I have a feeling a potential employer might be reading this so, "Hello".

        <itunes:summary>There I was ready to buy my coffee from the cafeteria and the lady at the till chimed in "$2.50 minimum for debit". 

"Oh common the coffee is $2.10" I uttered under my breath. "Okay I replied." Frantically I looked around for something to add to my purchase that would push me just over the top. I grabbed the nutrigrain bar, surely it wouldn't cost much. Well it turn out is was a dollar. Now I was pissed off, it was time to formulate a plan.

I started drinking my black coffee as fast as I could, with the plan to top it back up on my way out (self-serve). I had every intent of getting my money's worth. To top that off I was going to double cup it and take more creme and sugar (sweetener) than I needed. After all coffee costs them nothing this is where the real cost are. Maybe I'd also just happen to need two stir sticks to stir it.

"Sorry it's declined again" the cashier said to the girl in front of me in the line. 

"Here try this one" the girls said while handing the cashier another card.

After a few seconds the cashier replied "It's been declined too"

Frustrated the girl picks up her phone to call the bank and find out what's wrong with her account.

I step up and hand my debit card, but wait, 5-4-3-2-1

The girl chimed in "The bank said all of the systems for debit/credit cards and down in BC"

And them bam! My card got declined too.

So I got a free coffee but to keep it fair I didn't re-fill it, took no creme or sugar, didn't take a lid, and certainly didn't double cup it. So I think it's okay. 

But then again, maybe I didn't take any of those things because I was in such a rush to get out of there lest they solve the problem.

Best tasting lukewarm-half-full-black-bitter-lidless-coffee ever!

So... That's how my day was.

        <itunes:subtitle></itunes:subtitle>
        <itunes:summary>I think headphones are pretty much responsible for all the bad singing in the world these days. 

Back before headphones singing went like this.

	Hear a song
	Like the song
	Memorize the lyrics
	Sing the song to yourself
	Listen to your own voice and adjust it appropriately
	If you really suck you hear that, and stop singing


Headphones changed all that. Now people

	Listen to a song with headphones in
	Sing along
	Hear the actual singer's voice in the headphones while they sing
	Assume they themselves are good at singing, because while they sing pleasant sounds are heard (due to the headphones)
	No feedback for voice adjustment or shame is given
	Shitty singing perpetuates itself

That's why everyone thinks they are better at singing than they actually are.

        <itunes:summary>

I bought myself a drawing tablet and got around to installing the software today (it came two days ago). So far I'm really liking it, that picture above is my first try with it and I have to say what took only a few minutes on the tablet would have been so much longer in analog life (draw on paper, fine-line, scan, clean up, close lines, color). As a get used to it I think I will get better, until a few weeks from now when the bottle neck stops being the tablet and starts being my artistic abilities.

The plan is to start drawing cartoons again as well as other schematical (not a word? oh well) things to make life a little more visual.

Side note: I think I'll stop posting the FlatWorldReport [1] here as there is no sense in double posting it every time, just goto the main site. I'm going to try to do some more writing (like the piece below) and get cartoons as well as idea shows flowing.
