Redesign In Mind
I'm thinking this "writing blog" is not working out. Think I'll convert this into cross-post for my podcast, Back 2 Square 1. I'm using my lj blog more often now for odds n' sods. You'd think I'd be smart and have posted some of those writing prompts from school on this blog. Oh well, I'll figure something out. I'll likely be cross-posting on that blog, too. Thinking of reformatting the show anyway. Hopefully we'll be recording a new show here next week.

Reflections Upon A Guilty Verdict
Alright, so there was one major deal that I forgot to mention and honestly would rather forget. Neither will happen so let's get on with it. A couple weeks ago (or something like that) I stumbled upon a website that ultimately forced me to conclude I was in the wrong. It makes you stop and think: "What the fuck?" I admit, I didn't see it coming but I feel better now that it is behind me, for say. "Art" Thief: Your Help Needed! & All Rise: Guilty Verdict is Rendered should explain all the juicy details.
Honestly, for all that I have tried to remember, I still cannot understand (nor remember) how I placed myself in such a position. I obviously did not help that I was confronted with the issue and perhaps this is for the best. (One must admit, my taking action on this stance helps my request for forgiveness from my readers.) I have always been against plagiarism and remain so. Part of this is admitting when you have failed and owning up to it. For myself, I used the term "involuntary plagiarism" because it was just that (to the best of my current knowledge). I might have been a lot dumber than I thought back then but such a tasteless move just does not make any sense for me to do. However, regardless of what qualifier you place on it, the act itself remains. I have spoken my peace on the subject already through the two linked journals above, but this topic needed to be brought up here. I have moved on from this but the memory will always haunt me.
If there is a lesson to take from this, it is to make sure you never put yourself in such a position; EVER. Still, if this advice comes too late, own up and make it public. Snip your balls, deflate your ego, and man up to it. This way, you admit the error of you past actions and save what you have left. My watchers on dA have been ever so kind with my admittance, though I am unsure if that as more to do with the fact that they just don't care. At any rate, I am lucky to have corrected this before I got published. It was a dumb mistake regardless of how you slice it and I've done all I can to amend my fault in this matter. Hopefully 2009 will be a little more positive in that respect.

Chistmas... An Editorial
Well, here is the end of this year... and another post. The only thing more perplexing than my need to have three "blogs" (not counting the one Curtis T. has) is the fact that this one seems the least needed... and that I mention that fact every time I post. It seems I use this site more as a backwards R.S.S. reader than anything. Well, hopefully I'll find more use for it in the new year... School is out and Christmas just passed. I got a lot of good gifts, including some new music (thanks to iTunes and Amazon), a digital picture frame, and other stuff. I've been building snowmen in homage of Calvin and Hobbes and working the the most snow this region has seen in a good long time. My grades came back and all is well: 2.8, 3.5, 3.9 for the various classes. You would think with all the big papers and stress I was under getting them done this journal would have been a great way to take a break and get my mind of things. Well, again that's what you and I both get for thinking. Three large papers (all 6-10 pages or so) over the span of three weeks to write. After this, I tried to keep trudging along but found I could only get once edit out of my E7 fan-fic. Amazing how sitting down to watch the Futurama movie (well, the first one anyway) helped me clear my mind. Guess I sometimes need to do something rather mindless. (Another way to get my mind off writing for a bit is the snowman project I've been working on.) Got the podcast up and running finally: Back 2 Square 1 Next episode will be up next week. Will likely resubmit the pilot before posting the second episode. 116 download requests so far! Well, let's get back on a writing topic: here is a holiday centric editorial I did about Christmas. Don't get too offended now...
Christians bitch that Christmas has become to secular. People have obviously list the true/original meaning of the holiday; the reason for the season, as it were: baby Jesus and all that stuff. True, the commercialization of the holidays makes many of us wish for its quick execution by the time the first of December comes around, but it is clear many (if not most) Christians forget that they stole what would become Christmas today from the pagans. Ever hear of Yule and the other various Winter festivals that usually centered around the winter soloist? There are much more things to celebrate this time of year than the supposed birth of carpenter's son whose real birthday is likely in mid-Spring. Hanukkah can make a better pass for being celebrated around this time of year than Kwanzaa, which doesn't make much sense to anyone (even Kwanzaa-bot!). Both of these the average Christians would likely look down upon; like they have sole right to the season... sure, some of their gripes are legit, but their reasoning behind their banter is no more selfish and self-righteous than at any other time of the year.
Atheists, Humanists, and other non-religious folk seem to complain that you cannot escape Christmas. Everywhere you go, there it is! You are also expected to celebrate it in some way; if you don't, you are ostracized as a Grinch, Scrooge, or worse and in some cases for to participate anyway. Most non-Judaic religious faiths and the like agree that the pressure and overwhelming nature of the Christmas season is very degrading to those who do not wish to join in the festivities. Again, the total commercialization of the holiday is not helping here and with most of America (and many other Western countries) in on the National event, it would be unavoidable even if not the time of year when many businesses finally start to make a profit. Still, that's what you get for living in a Christian-majority country. Most of the season no longer revolves around a manger but bells, and cash registers and the almighty dollar. There a plenty of other reason to celebrate the season, including selfless work to help needy people, being nice to your fellow humans for once, a reason to be happy in a dark and dreary part of the year.
Ironic, it is, that Christians bitch that Christmas is too secular and other religions and the non-religious complain that it is too religious. Just like with most things in the war between religion (any) and secularism (non-religion), both sides see the other's influence and cry foul. While each has legitimate points of concern, they always seem to make it like some horrid thing that is gong to destroy the fabric of our society... yet every year, here we remain. Yeah, it would be nice not to be subjected to the music and commercials and the holiday cheer everywhere you turn, and it would be nice if for once in its existence humanity would finally grow up so there would be peace on earth, good will towards men/women/etc.; it would also be nice if we could care more about each other the rest of the year and perhaps even more so during this time rather they speaking this feel-good mantra while otherwise cursing the idiot in front of us (however much they deserve it) and priding ourselves for swiping the last must-have item and reveling in the tears and muddled curses of those who came too late.
The holidays as we know them today are but a product of our own creation. We built this mixed bag of nuts regardless of our own intents and further it with our actions each year. No matter how you perceive reality or your opinion on the Christmas season, you -all- and responsible for it. All the good and bad aspect of humanity come out in full force this time of year and whether you bow to God or Allah or Shiva or reject all of their existences and advocate the annulment of the entire fiasco (gods included), and all points in between, we as a species are the enemy we fight to make this time of year what we want; and just like every year that has come before this, we fail. We fail because we forgot ourselves, we fail because we are blind to what the solution to all our problems is, we fail because we cannot see beyond our own self-interests as individuals and member of our various blocs and groups. Everyone wants what they see as the best way to celebrate the season or not. How very selfish. What this season should symbolize is what is lacking throughout the rest of the year; and that should be retained throughout the rest of the year regardless.
As an Agnostic, I enjoy the secular Christmas season but find the commercialized overwhelming presence of the holiday to be enough to drive a man to drink... more often than he already does. I see the beauty of the spiritual/religious aspects and for those who need it, that is fine by me. Those who don't want anything to do with the season, I've been there myself. For America, and I might go further to say any country, we live in a world where you cannot just sit idly by in your own little click and forget that others exists or that these others should bow down to how you view the world. Majority rules in a democracy, but that does not mean the majority is always right or should abandon the minority. Yes, there are many places where this ideology does not apply. Good for them. To me, I celebrate this season in my own way and detail with the part that I cannot honestly change. Yes, this does make me accountable for trying to make things "better", but who am I to make that call? Who are any of us? I merely strive to my this time of year a enjoyable one for myself and those I chose to care about; everyone should at least do that; remembering, of course, that we should only extend an invitation to other to join in our ways and move on if they decide otherwise.
Christmas is what you make of it... or not. So stop bitching and start doing! Just don't make an ass out of yourself in the process! In closing: Merry Fucking Christmas, ya filthy animals; and a Happy Bloody New Year!

November 4, 2008: Lest We Forget
Hey, here's an idea: multiple entries for one month and something about writing that isn't a general update! I really should get back to my school work. Still, I have to post my latest attempt to get people motivated about the future and continuing to "fight the good fight". I think this is written well. Any thoughts?
November 4, 2008 is a day among days; the coming of age for those once enslaved by the United State of America. It is a day that shall live on in all Americans. Barak Obama is a milestone on the path of civil rights, liberties, and equality. It truly is a historic day; sadly, it is also a tragic one. It is tragic as another minority was denied equality and civil liberty: the states of Arizona, California, and Florida approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage. This vote sets a shameful precedent and balks at the notion of “justice for all”. The road to Civil Rights and civil liberties still beckons all travelers, for the journey is far from over. Once more, victory has shown itself to be obtainable. While many rightfully celebrate, let not this triumph mask the battles still ahead.
‘This is the Negro’s hour.’ Such was the sentiment of Frederick Douglass when finally African-Americans acquired the right to vote. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony disagreed. However, when this time had elapsed, Douglass returned to the suffrage of women. Such is the example all supporters of civil liberties must now embrace. While the continual integration of the Negro into Anglo-Saxon America must not be forgotten, it is time the torch of egalitarianism be passed. The remaining racial minorities, non-theists, and many others still need our persistent support. However, if one cause must be chosen as a galvanizing force, then let it be homosexual civil liberties; for its resolution and realization will do best to further stem the hate and bigotry.
“In defense of the right to [...] marry whom we please -- we might quote some of the basic principles of our government [and] suggest that in some things individual rights to tastes should control… [those choices],” declared Stanton regarding the marriage of Douglass to Helen Pitts, a white feminist; but this new goal transcends marriage rights, for it embodied that which defines America. In this new future, let us not forget the lessons learned: “It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important,” reminded Dr. King. November’s progress is the foundation of the new endeavor for civil liberties. Still, while we should not tarry long, in this hour let us all rest and rejoice as one!

Vote Early, Vote Often!
Short little non-writing blip about voting for all you Americans out there. VOTE! Even if you think things are rigged, even if you don't like the candidates (there are more than two, ya know!), even if you think the energy elite run the planet, VOTE! Play the game, follow the song and dance; this way, if things don't go your way, then you can raise all holy hell and they got nothing on you. There are a lot of big issues, too, on the ballets like doctor prescribed drugs to hasten death for terminally ill patients (Initiative 1000) in Washington state or the anti-gay marriage bill (Prop 8) in California. Vote for the good of the country, not yourself. Vote based not on the enforcement of your religious beliefs on others but on what will benefit the most Americans. Freedom from and of religion, that is a key part of every election. Human rights and dignity are also in the balance. Show the rest of the world that the "leading" democracy is actually worthy of the title. Remember: vote early, vote often; that is, don't put it off and do it consistently. (Sorry, mayor Daily.)
"The Republican Party has nominated John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona as its nominee; the Democratic Party has nominated Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, as its nominee. The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate." -United States Presidential Election, 2008 - Wikipedia
"Initiative 1000 (I-1000) is a ballot measure dealing with aid in dying that will be on the ballot in the US state of Washington in the November 4, 2008 general election. The effort was started by former Governor Booth Gardner. Supporters of I-1000 submitted about 310,000 petition signatures from registered voters, surpassing the state's requirement of 225,000 valid signatures for ballot status. Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the initiative July 25, 2008 after confirming at least 224,880 signatures to be valid." -Initiative 1000 - Wikipedia
"Proposition 8 is an initiative state constitutional amendment on the 2008 California General Election ballot, titled Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. If passed, the proposition will "change the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California." A new section would be added stating "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."" -California Proposition 8 (2008) - Wikipedia
Edit: Obama wins! Anti-gay marriage wins... I-1000 wins!

Much Ado About Nothing... blame school
Here is yet another rather pointless entry as the monthly requirement. Makes me wonder why I keep this around. Well, school is not helping things. I have not posted much since the quarter and I should be reading now; but it's about midway now and I need a break. Elections are coming up. Vote Edsel or Nader! ...anyone but Obama or McCain. My Critical Approach to mass Media class is helping me understand the world better. Got lots of new and good ideas for my stories. Should try to get caught up over Winter Break. Should be expecting a new commission for a WotW character. That will be awesome! Below is some gift art of Curtis T by *Agent-Elrond!

Monthly Required Post
O.M.F.G.! Beeeeeesssss!!!!
That's right, I'm back, baby! Well, been posting the usual suspects on my dA site. School starts next Wednesday. I have not been able to write nearly as much as I wanted to these last three weeks. Still, my ride up to Mt. St. Helens was good. More commissions came in the post and are now hanging on the wall. A couple new works will be highlighted below, along with the stories they represent. I hope to be adding more smaller blips during school and write more and do the other things; not because they are easy but because they are hard. I also need to figure out what topic to make my stalled podcast about. What I do know is it must have a co-host. Anyway, on to the show.
Here is Marcus Till Lindemann, main O.C. of E7: Rogue Wave Rising. Based about one year after the end of the anime series (shortly after the epilogue), 05-06-12006 or so, the story revolves around a misplaced Australian who was been blissfully lifting about the countryside until a chance encounter with two former Federation loyalists, Anemone and Dominic. Having begun to question the world he now lives in, Marcus returned to the place of his first memory in this strange place. After realizing the rather large time discrepancy, he struggles to find his place and discover the reason he was resurrected from otherwise certain death 10,000 years ago. Planet Eureka Seven has had a major political shift after the Second Summer of Love; the Federation has fractured and is now in direct conflict with the newly established Moonlight Confederation, founded on the inspiration and defiance of Gekkostate. The crew of the Gekko and Super Izumo are central players in this epic story.
From Nyx Character Sheet: Named after the Greek primordial goddess of the night, Nyx loves playing off the parthenogenesis of her namesake; but her methods and ideology have put her at odds with most of the world. However, she cares little for the opinions of others, save a few. The life of a vagabond vigilante suits her well, as she is wanted throughout the world for a plethora of crimes and other charges. She considers her actions necessary at the time and refutes her criminal status. Highly intelligent and skilled, she is someone not to be taken lightly. From necromantic voodoo to her sharp tongue, Nyx puts even the most disciplined and renounced crime fighter or superhero to the test. She enjoys her calling and shows no signs of quitting. Nyx was originally Nemesis, she is a D.C. Comics based character who travels the world looking for trouble. She is soon joined by another vagabond, Rex (Subject: R-1-X of Shattered Reality fame). Haven't posted anything about her beyond the character sheet. Need to correct that.
Watch out for more updates, hopefully. Until then, check out my stuff... or don't.
