As a young man tied so deeply to the series of tubes the media calls the Internet, I have been noticing an interesting trend as of late. People are starting to lay blame on the invention of the Internet as the source of all humanity's downfall.

I was reading an article in Newsweek magazine called "The Writing on the Wall" about how kids not being able to write in cursive are decreasing their ability to form coherent sentences. It said a study found that students that did not know how to write well they begin to have problems in all other areas of academics.

I would now at this time like to say I have only the knowledge in cursive to write out my name and my inability to do much more than that has not hampered my other skills in the slightest. I may have a problem spelling but my command of the English vocabulary is something I pride myself on. I know my "p"s and "q"s, thank you very much.

I very much question the validity of that study and would like to find out how much skill in penmanship relates to skill in writing. My question to you is how much cursive do you know and use on a daily basis, and does it really help?

P.S. Tell others to view this journal, I am kind of an unknown face in a sea of icons here. Also, I don't think journal updates are shown on the site...

A God am I...?

OK, I have a few updates on things in general; first the comic then social life.

The comic will be up as soon as the school newspaper goes out, so around Tuesday next week. As I said before on the comic before it is about the poor condition of being at the end of the line at lunch. The people that I showed it to as my test audience say it is very good and that they envy my skills as an artist. Personally I think I am the bottom rung of a very tall ladder, their are so many people here that I wish I could draw like.

Moving away from the comic I shall give a very interesting social event that happened to me today. This is a bit of a first because I don't very much care for divulging information to people about my feelings, so I believe a little history is in order. To most people on first impressions of me think I am a very upstanding guy with strong morals, also I apparently have good looks. Honestly, or maybe pessimistically, I don't see how I look handsome at all.

My friends know me to be a carefree, if little naive, person that tries to help others. If a little forgetful, for I have a hard time remembering people's names at times. I am also an animal lover, especially cats! I love cats sooo much because they are soo cute and they act mature unlike the dogs. Dogs I like, but I would not want one for a pet..... tangential....

I'm getting too off target, need to focus back on the weird thing that happened.

Right, this morning I decided to do my hair differently from the Raito default it normally falls into after a shower. So I took up a brush and hairspray and forced my hair into a still not unlike Hatori Shoma from Frubra. It took a while but it stayed put all day, a huge achievement, believe me. Some people commented on my new look, nothing to strange until first period.

The person that sits directly behind me noticed my hair was different and started talking about how I have good looks. This is a guy talking to me and he is not into guys or anything as far as I know. He then finishes this off with something that took me way off guard. And I quote, "Has anyone ever told you you look like a god." By his tone I knew he was just teasing me but his words hit something.

It was at the anime convention that I dressed up as Raito, and most people that talked to me that were fans of Death note would call me Kira or God. What he said just hit me like a ton of bricks because the guy is not a fan of anime or manga of any type and does not know of Raito or the anime convention. The answer to his rhetorical question still echo in my head, "Yes, my love Chelsey has called me god..."

I was pained by this because my love is so far away and I wont be able to go down to visit her until Christmas at the earliest! I miss her soo much and can't wait to see her again.

With Halloween coming up soon you would think I would be sneaking some of the candy we bought to give away. You would be right of course, but I can't find much sweetness to them anymore. I just can't find anything that satisfies this craving that I have, for what I want is something far from food. I will explain why this is, at the risk of sounding very soppy and weird, I have not found anything as sweet as the lips of my girlfriend.

I miss her so much, I just want to hold her in my arms and forget about the world around us. ~Sigh~ I have no time to lament about it now, and I should keep working toward bridging the distance between us. I mean that literally, for we are two states away from each other.

In other news; the first school newspaper this year was passed out and it was the most successful distribution ever, if I do say so myself. FYI, I am on the newspaper staff making the comics. I would upload the comic here, but I was asked not to until it came out. Now that it has they will let me access it and upload it, expect to see it Monday evening at the earliest.

Well that is all the news I really have... I guess it is time to wrap this up. Later peoples =^•^=

My scanner is broken, and I now make comics for my school newspaper. I will just have to get the picture from school to here to upload it. That and figure out how to mack the scanner work with vista, a task I will not relish doing.

More towards my life in general, I am walking on top of clouds with nary a care in the world. For I am in love! I feel right now like I am the exact polar opposite of an emo. Something I never really understood, emo that is. I just don't get what the attraction to cutting yourself and complaining about the world and how it hates you. I did not know a mass of rock could hate, and if it could we most likely would be dead for messing it up and digging into it.

OK, tangential much... need to focus. I found my true love and I am happy and joyful even if I cannot yet hold her in my arms yet. I am still working out a way to get down to you sweety!.
