The State of the Tabby -Oct 10th 2014-
11 years ago
Hey all! How's life treating you this month?
Well; I can only say this so many times before I people start throwing tomatoes at my face, but...I am sorry for the lack of activity as of late. There are so many different things and reasons for my procrastinations or busy-ness, but I honestly feel like I could be putting more effort into getting my damn projects done (or turning on Skype and actually responding back to people). All I can say is that I've been going back and forth with ideas bouncing off my head, brainstorming interesting concepts, and when I DO decide to take the time to write something or draw something...my brain suddenly starts telling me "This won't amount to anything" or "You'll never finish it let alone get 10% done" or "Nobody would ever buy this shit" or "I STILL SUCK!"...and then depression sets back in.
*sigh* -____-
It also doesn't help when my finance plans turned to crap thanks to heavy dose of reality. I figured after I finished paying off my car I could start using the check for those monthly payments to go into paying my cards, one of them only $300's away from finally being paid off. And then I could use the money I would normally use towards my lease payments and that one card into the next card, and then after a few months into the next card, until all my cards are finally paid off by next year's end and I would finally be freed from debt!
Well...unless my job want's to remove the ridiculous rule of Part-timers only working 25 hours a week ONLY or give me a higher raise than .40 cents a year...I'm still stuck only paying just slightly over the minimum of my monthly payments with my cards. Other wise; I practically going broke -______________-
I need a new job...or I need to finish my damn projects and find out how to make them good for publishing (or at least figure out the best way to maybe receive donations? ).
Anyways; enough about my problems. What have I been doing with my spare time lately? Hanging with friends mostly. The beginning of this month has been oddly bizarre with how available my in-town friends have been lately. If not for one of them catching a cold the other day and my own priority of contacting a friend of mine online afterwork yesterday, it would have been 9 straight days that I've been hanging out with the same friends. I guess you can chalk up that time to tv show marathon binging; Spent a Saturday and Tuesday watching the final season of How I Met Your Mother, and that same Saturday and then Sunday watching the entire Book 2 of Legend of Korra. Along with binging on the latest seasons of Supernatural, Bones, and Castle on TNT...my brain is fried. YouTube videos can also be blamed.
How I managed to find time to help out someone is astonishing to me :P If you hadn't caught my last journal, a friend of mine
Flowtac has been writing and help filming a indie horror/slasher movie called NORTH WOODS, which has been in production of a long time now. I can barely do writing a synopsis on this movie justice, so for those interested in learning more about this film see the link below.

Well he's gotten most of the movie done and its slated for release around Oct 2015, but there is still much to be done to fully polish his and his team's gory gem into a fully realized outstanding film (Post-Production wise). That same link above will take you their Indiegogo fundraiser, which if possible and have a few extra bucks you are welcome to lend a hand to its final product (or at the very least share this link to the world and spread the word of the film's existence).
Though I have very little funds to offer myself at the moment, I have been helping out in posting flyers my buddy put together around my town to spread such word. I'll be expanding to other towns tomorrow or Monday too if I can.
Finally; my own Birthday is coming up next Thursday the 16th...........hoo-raaaaaaay....as you may know I'm not really that thrilled with birthdays anymore. Next weekend I'll doing going out to lunch with my folks and my sister and her hubby and my niece while we help them pick out a nice spooky pumpkin. Sunday; after a long day at work (I will assume) there will be a Chinese Dinner feast with my folks and some friends to end the weekend festivities. My only birthday wish this year...is for my folks NOT to talk about my current status in life. I just have nothing good to talk about right now -__-. However; I'll appreciate any Birthday cash I can get. If I have $50 or more next week I'll be purchasing Alien: Isolation for the PC, and then I'll be gamestreaming it Live during Halloween night (If no other plans have been made that is :P ).
That's about it for now. I'll try to touch base with everyone more often, maybe make sure I do a journal weekly or something. Until then; everyone take care now and stay safe. The world is becoming more of dangerous eerie place >___> *ooooOOOOOOOOooooooo.....*
