finished the label for my first batch of beer, MadCap Marzen, had some fun with it. now before you ask, i took the name from one of the comic characters i created about 10 years ago, Madcap is an adjective, meaning to behave or act impulsively, or rashly. the original character is this crazy commando who goes around with fishnets, and tu-tu, clown makeup and two pigtails. i went with the jester type girl because sex sells, and nothing goes with beer better than a sexy girl sitting on a jackin the box, go ahead and take what every twisted metaphor and go with it, i haven't tasted the final product, but i intend to soon. on another note, school started back up. my books were outragously priced, like 500. yeah no kidding, music appreciation is cool, my teacher is a comic book fan, french is cool, but i'm probably the only one in class who has never taken french before, my history class is easy half the time i don't even have to go we have scheduled off days for personal study, and pre-calculus sucks ass, i do enjoy that i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing. overall alot on my plate yet i enjoy the challenge of the journey. later -n8 gee

I Dropped the Ball!
first off
well last night i had a once and a lifetime experience, and i dropped the ball, literally. we went to the A's vs Angels game on Weds. night and we sat in the first row on the railing next to the right field foul pole. the game was great. and in the 9th inning the Angels Steve Finley his 9th homerun of the 2005 season. and it bounced right of my left hand and back on to the field. Now already i've heard it all. first people say- why didn't you use two hands, the answer is i tried, but i had to lean infront of this guy to my left and could only get one hand on the ball which was a straight shot at me. it wasn't a high flyball that came down to us it was a line shot. second people tell me why didn't you have a glove?-- ugh one of my greatest petpeves is a grown man with a glove at a game. my general rule is that it is okay for someone under 18 or over 50 to use a glove, or ladies if they want (their allowed to do anything) but if your a guy in your prime wearing a mitt and catch a foul ball or homerun you better give it to a nearby kid or you should forever be marked as a spineless worthless piece of $#it. thinking back i wonder if i had caught it would i have kept it or thrown it back (because it was a homerun from the opposite team) and i'm not sure, i think the energy of the event would have made me kept it, or baseball tradition and energy from a crowd of 45 thousand, on the night of the A's first rise to first place, pride of that might have made me see if i could put the ball in the infield or try to one hop it.
secondly
school starts on monday, yeah i'm two semester's away from going to art school, totally exicted about the future.
third
i bottled my first batch of beer today, it'll have to wait a week or so before its done, and carbonated, i'm working on a cool logo for my first batch.
lastly
this is a drawing from my sketch book i did earlier in the year, did you know that if you click on it you get to see it on the flicker website where you have the option to see "all sizes" and you can get a bigger pic
well good night keep in touch

tiger
we went to marine world today, it was great- anyone who knows me can imagine what happens to my pale pastey white skin after a day in the sun. - i had'n been to marine world more than once since the merger with six flags and even that was over 5 years ago. there are alot of things that they improved upon which i believe were and are a promising changes, yet they have other things, which i don't agree with like the main one, get the rides away from the animals- for crying out loud. anyway
it was kilo's girl's b-day so we rocked it - the coasters are sweet, i found myself, a seasoned veteran roller coaster tycoon champion looking to improve the park and rides, and lines at the same time going oh i made that same sort of mistake building one of my first parks. heh heh
-sorry for the geek out.
we then went to the A's game and watched the 7,8,9th innings at 5th row, it was sweeeeeeet! -n8

NINJA! NINJA!
well i was thinking of the past yesterday, and well, remeber when ninjas were cool, with the popularization of anime and classic kung-fu movies, they dropped out of the mainstream, well i think that they still are cool. comics, b-movies, ninja turtles,gi-joe, well every thing had them, and man they were the coolest thing since sliced bread. all the cool kids were ninjas for halloween, well i wasn't, (yet thats probably explains alot) i was just remembering how cool they were/are. some of my favorite comics have wolverine or daredevil battling hords of these beings of supernatural skill and mysticism.

oh my
there is not often that i get a feeling of a great single issue of a comic. when i was about 15 the x-force issue number 24 was one of these issues, i read it over and over, yet every time getting more out of it. well, i found another, i picked it up on weds. EXCALIBUR #14 by Chris Claremont and Aaron Lopresti. now just to ring my own fan-boy geekdom but well i'll let you know i've been a big fan of aaron's work for a couple of years, as well as the fact that i thrive in any of the the webs that Claremont writes whether it be comics, novels, or articles. I just want to let you know that if you can pick up any single issue this year it has to be this one. if your a fan of the x-men genre (which at this point in my existance they should be considered) get this one. you get a insiders gift of what goes on in the psyche of xavier, magneto,and dr. strange. its a must read/must own for any real fan of the comic industry. though it is just a set up book for the House of M series thats coming out (with the art of Oliver Copiel-whom iv've been pushing on everyone as the next big thing) its much more than that- a look at prof.X's past with ties to magneto and wolverine, as well as his friendship with the sorcerer supreme.-the one question i wish would be brought up in the x-men theater in an objective point of view/ by either prof. X or Mags in which they like any common sensed citizen would relize that there are more than one side to an arguement, and that the other point is very valid. if you get a chance to buy any comic this year make it this one, and if your a friend of mine who didn't like it or wasn't enlightened by my recomendation i'll buy it back from you. -n8

johnny justice
got super bored in my speech final the other day, while listening to the others in my class give speeches i took a flip through one of my sketchbooks, and it had this copy of a bunch of characters on it done by one of my fellow GelatoCafe members Jason Ossman. Ive already done a sketch of his characters(which isn't finished) and i started drawing this one.which i finished today at the laundry mat. the characters name is Johnny Justice. i really like jason's character designs, they like others art often does inspires me to give my take on his characters. if you feel like checking out his stuff its on the gelato cafe site, linked at the bottom, then you just go under pictures and find his name. or check out his blog http://jasonossman.com- cool deal see yah later

adventures in GRINGOLANDIA!
the news that one of my favorite teachers is retiring, ive taken only two of his anthro classes but enjoyed them throughly, he's one of those storyteller type teachers who mixes in a ton of dry humor that keeps class on there toes, he refers to the USA as gringolandia an humorous name that i dig, it would be a fun name for an online strip-maybe showing people just how ubsurd our everyday adventures have become. Maybe i'll do a couple in the future- n8gee
