Lord of Summer
Comments(5) I suffer from a mild form of Manic Depression, and I have no shame in admitting this to the world. And often I feel as if my world is full of anarchy and in total chaos.But every now and again, something puts everything in perspective, something that hits me and makes me think “You know, Life isn’t to bad..”
And this moment, right now, Is one of them moments where life seems worth it. The weather is nice, the cat’s sunbathing while I type at my laptop. (I’m outside on my Apartments Balcony, my little viewpoint to the huge blue world). and it’s just what I needed.
I Absolutely love the summer, such a fun and interesting time, It’s always such a shame it seems to end all to quickly.
So, As I sit here, I ask of you, one thing, If you wished this one thing, and it happened, right now. what would your perfect, most calming moment be?
While you ponder this thought, I shall post some more pictures while I talk about other things, I’m always a giver!
Been wondering about what to post recently but nothing has come to mind, Shame on me! I know!
Cat came down last week, had such a lovely time, did everything a stereotypical couple could do, saw a movie, watched the sun go down over the Liverpool Docks while the seagulls whined and the new museum makers clanked there tools against brick. Discussed getting an apartment in about a years time, Really nervous about it but hey, life’s not life without a little risk huh? Really looking forward to it and its kinda driving me to do stuff at the moment, which is always a great thing I assume.
Been drawing a hell of a lot more as of late which is odd, I quit drawing 4 years ago when I fail Art in school, starting to enjoy the practice of putting pencil to paper, where as before, it would cause frustration rather than calming me down. I would throw some pictures up but my scanner wont work with Vista >.<
I also have a wealth of ideas for animation but no idea how about going about it as most wont be able to made in Flash due to its complexity, oh well, I will find a way I guess. I do enjoy animation but my heart is in the filming, oh yes!
I would like you to know, at this moment in time, I have Coffee and Marshmallows, Go on, admit it, you want a marshmallow, Ask me nicely and I shall think about giving you one, as I said before, I’m a giver!
I wanna write a cheesy musical, I also have the idea for it. High School Musical, The Zombie Massacre!!! Love, Soccer, Singing, and BRAINS! It’s also going to be sung from the zombies viewpoint, so they have no idea why the teens are screaming for dear life, all the zombies want is brains, is that to much to ask!?
I think I have ran out of things to say. bummer. Oh well, I guess I should go back to writing something great for next week.
Sayonara.
Good post, nice summery feel with the pics and all. It’s always fun to see where people live, their surroundings. I had a look at Flash myself recently, first time in about oh… 10 or 12 years or so. It’s amazing how it’s gone through so many changes and is still exactly the same pain in the ass to use, I still loathe it.
That was a nice read, thanks for the insights and thoughts. As for a cheesy musical, you could use puppets that sing – like in the movie ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ or whatever it was called exactly. I definitely liked the idea ^^
My perfect calming moment btw., would be to lie on a sunny spot of grass on a hill, surrounded by mountains and hearing the sounds of a river floating by a few ten meters or so – imagine it to be quite peaceful.
Oh and on your last picture – is that plant in the middle a tomato? I know we have one on our balcony too and this looks similar ^^
You have a keen eye Johnny, it is indeed a Tomato plant, we have two of them, along with two strawberry plants.
The calming moment sounds brilliant! =]
X: I agree Flash is a pain in the arse, but It’s my tool of choice sadly because it runs on my laptop without giving it a seizure.
I had to have a kind of “calming moment/place” type thing for after my EMDR from the uni councilors. (eye movement desensitization…something. I think it works by that having left to right eye movement or tapping distracts you somewhat and allows you to say stuff you’d usually not say or pay attention to. If it’s a particularly sensitive topic, there calming place is supposed to stop you from moping about it after the session.)
I chose a beach with no people on it (and no drat damn seagulls =P) and just feeling like there’s all the time in the world to just laze rather than having all goals and targets and so on.
Anyway, can’t remember if I’ve asked you before, is Toonboom any good for you? It’s similar to flash for drawing, but without action scripts and so on because it’s entirely for animation, not games. Also, you have a kind of fake 3D effect, where you can place objects in different distances from the ‘camera’ so if you have a camera pan, they’ll all go at the right speed and such.
Also, having your own apartment together sounds awesome. You’ll naturally end up having more conflict because you’re with each other a lot more, but then, said being with each other a lot more makes up for that. Good luck!
Haven’t tried toonboom, gonna have to check it out sometime, cheers for the head up though Mog!
