Finals

Okay, so finals week is almost over.  And even though I'll be having a summer class starting next week I should be able to start contributing to the blog more often.

... now if I could just stop playing Winterbells and start my 2,500 word paper due tomorrow...

The Dealio-yo

So right now I'm working on school stuff for final projects and exams.  Other than that I'm working on a new podcast.  Not really new, to tell you the truth, it's more of a do-over of the first one.  

Also, confidentially, I have a little secret side-project.  More on that later.

The Lowdown

So here's the sitch, my friends:  I'll have at least 2 comics up before midnight on Monday (tomorrow).  I've been busy writing papers and going to Indianapolis for no good reason other than to go.  

I also plan on doing some videos on YouTube as well.  Keep your eyes peeled for reviews and such too.

Catch y'all later!!

My Heroes

For a very long time now I've had certain heroes that I look up to because they represent a lot of things that aren't present in the rest of humanity.  As a gamer this also sometimes meant that I would admire video game characters.  It makes a little sense considering characters can be everything that most individuals can't be in real life.

I'd frequently assert that my heroes were Ted Nugent, Bobby Knight and Duke Nukem; w/ Bruce Campbell as my god.  The Nuge is awesome not only because he's from Michigan, but also because he never backed down from his beliefs, which is something I can't claim I've been steadfast in.  Knight is awesome because of his discipline.  I don't think I need to explain why I idolized Nukem and Campbell.

Andrew WK and Sonic the Hedgehog are probably my most prominent heroes right now (Sonic has been a hero of mine since I was 4 years old).  Simply for the fact that I wish I could be like them (sans the species change).  All they seem to want is to have fun and let people live their lives happily.  Sonic saves the world time and time again for what?  To let all the assholes go on for another day?  I don't know if I would do that. 

For those of you who do not know me, I hate people.  I'm what's called a misanthrope.  I don't have any real problems w/ a good amount of individuals, but it's difficult for me to not hate groups of people.  And I'm not so extreme that I want to kill all humans or anything.  But I can only really say that I actually care about one person on the face of the Earth.  It's not even that I hate my family, because I don't hate them.  But I think I could cope fairly well if they died.  

I do not think I could cope if this one person died.  This person is everything to me: my greatest hero, my inspiration and my reason to live.  I have no clue what I would do if this person died.  It kills me every time I have to go away from this person.  Never have I been so invested w/ emotion like I am w/ this person.  All I could ever reasonably want is for this person to be happy, but I still get pissed when I know it's not me making her happy.  Which brings me to another point: after a lot of meditation on the matter I came to the conclusion that I hated people because they embody everything I hate in myself.  And my jealousy involving this person only serves to further my own justification that I should hate people.

I realize jealousy is a natural feeling, but if I really just wanted this person to be happy, then I should just let her be happy w/o these feelings of anger regarding the assholes she hangs around w/ who seem to make her happy.  This all comes down to selfishness.  I fucking hate seeing myself being selfish.  I just wish I could be like Andrew WK and just have fun.  But I think I may have ranted enough for today.  

I'm gonna go brood or something for the rest of the day.  Thanks for reading, if you made it this far.

No Comic this Week (Spring Break)

So, for the record, the reason I didn't post a comic last night was because I'm in New Jersey right now over spring break.  Just saw Motley Crue, Hinder and Theory of a Dead Man last night at the Garden.  The Last Vegas played too as an opener, which I believe was the same band that opened for the Foo Fighters when I saw them over the summer.

Anyway, I'll post 2 comics this coming week to make up for this week.  And I'll try to get in a video on YouTube as well.  Until then, Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!!

If there's any big news I'll post it when I get around to it.

First Post

This is my new blog. I have decided to start over after my previous attempt, which was a webcomic-blog hybrid. That failed because I lacked the motivation to dedicate a significant amount of time to it.

So here I am with GMR. The title is a reference to my favorite magazine of all time: GMR. To this day it's the only publication I can read from cover to cover without becoming bored.

The topics that will be posted and relevant to this blog are as follows:

- Games (news, rumors, reviews, etc.)

- Movies, Music, Books (news, previews, reviews, etc.)

- Current Events (informational and commentaries)

- Vlogging, because sometimes things need to be heard and not read

- Webcomic (strips, character bios, and so on)

- anything I feel is important enough to mention

As always, posting will mostly be about the realm of gaming. Not just gaming, because gamers do more than just game. We eat, drink, sleep, socialize (sometimes), and have mostly normal lives. Be on the lookout for Tuesday's comic.

For now, that is all.
