J.E. 202: Another Long - O -Journal Entry

Hello Friends,

Earlier I had written a journal entry, but my netbook froze so my nerves had riled up with frustration, wanting to throw my computer out the balcony, but I just chose to calm down.

Anyways, I have still been working on the Montoya Naly project, since I am thinking of submitting my art to the cartoon art museum in San Francisco. I think it's about time now to have something to show for.

I keep praying everyday that I will make it in this world, and work with the Japanese very soon. I have visionary boards of my dreams up on my walls at home, and look up almost every morning to this dollar bill which I put a lot of zeroes on the ceiling where my bed is.

Not only that, I am sure people can have a free small concert with the real Montoya singing, that is if she is in the mood.

Today, I went to buy another expensive 10 dollar technical pencil, since I probably lost mine at Sac Con. It had blue lead in it. I think it may have been lost at the Kinokuniya Stationary and Gift store in San Francisco. I had to get another one today.

I went to Kinokuniya in Saratoga to get another one, since I am most comfortable to draw in blue lead. I don't like the smudges and nasty smears of lead and that I find it really unprofessional looking, and sloppy.

I really ate a lot, since I felt that earlier at work, the weather was weird - it went hot to cold and then just went back to normal earlier. I was feeling like I could just fall asleep at work.

I felt that maybe I was low on blood sugar [I am hypo-glycemic] and had drank 2 Kiwi Strawberry Welches drinks, and a pop tart, and two slices of pizza from my co-worker.

It was really funny afterwards since after the sugar buzz, I had accidentally knocked something over and I was a big klutz. My assistant manager saw it, I thought she would laugh, but she didn''t.

Oh well, she jokes around anyways at work with my supervisor.

But anyways, my feet were totally tired and I had really felt like I had to catch my breath and my heart was beating really rapidly. It's also because I had woken up at 4 AM in the morning, due to well, "nature calling", and that I just couldn't go back to sleep since my work's company has been cracking down on people coming too late and using sick leave too many times as an excuse.



Otherwise, I am okay, I went to Rasputin's to get a Journey T-shirt that said "Don't stop believing", with the scarab exploding from a planet. I also got a used DVD called "Be Kind, Rewind" that I saw earlier, and had to get it because it was a really cute movie that was about, despite the city's shortcomings of poverty, they at least had spirited creativity that made people feel better about themselves, despite the fact that they were in an underdeveloped area.

The creativity to recreate a scene which was called "sweded" was pretty hilarious, so I definitely picked up the movie, since that it was so involving, the main point of the movie was "the quality of creative effort" counted, and the creative attitude of helping each other was more precious to lift the community's spirits.

I went back to Mitsua in Saratoga, and got some real sushi. I usually eat Safeway sushi, but from real Japanese place, Mitsua, it is authentic sushi to me, made by real Japanese authentic people. I also went to a Japanese XBOX, PS3 WII center, that had the games and posters, and picked up some promo material.

I also got gas for my car, and checked the tire pressure, and it was okay.

I feel a whole lot better, I think I have been eating less and less lately, since I've been working on the Montoya artwork a lot.

I may go to AOD this year, Animation On Display, but since I saw some of the videos, I am kind of iffy on going since it looked pretty dead? This year it's going to be at the Hotel Miyako, but we will see.

Well, time to draw more Montoya cartoons, see you soon!

To Be Continued,

Bobby

Hi Friends!

Here is what I have been working on for the past month. I really am frustrated at Windows Movie Maker, it makes me want to throw my compy out the window, but... it wouldn't make sense to destroy a good piece of equiptment that was hard earned with my money.

Hello Friends,

I went to the Sac - Con show, with the Small Press alley, and I didn't make any money, but at least I made some quality efforts in helping my friend Mike in setting up his toys for sale.

I found out that conventions like FanimeCon and Wondercon make the most money for artists who have been around for the longest time [10 years!] doing commissions. I did make some contacts, so that was really important to me.

I woke up at 4:30 AM and it was raining. Some of my friend's stuff was kind of water damaged, but at least he could give some sort of discount on them.

When I got home, I totally was tired, I felt sick too, but at least had got some amount of sleep when going home with my friend.

I'm going to try to get some rest and do my laundry tonite. I have to watch Paper Heart that has been sitting on my desk that I rented from Blockbuster.

More news soon!

TBC,
Bobby

Hello friends,

Today was a big day although it was really pouring hard. I could not get a whole lot of sleep yesterday since I had wrapped presents for some friends and did some artwork.

I started to pack up a lot of stuff before I went to SF to meetup with Jackie, and two of my friends. I found out that my other friends were Maria and Montoya are pretty cool and very talented. Jackie, thank you for helping out for a lot of things!!!! \^o^/ Whoo hoo!

Sorry, not much to talk about in depth. I was pretty tired with a backpack that felt like a ton, and carrying around stuff for Montoya's family. ^^ My eyes are like, baggy and strained or something.

For the Youtube winners, here they are! Many congrats! I hope you can pick them up or have me send them to you! ^^;

It was a very good day, and I passed out in the car just to catch up with sleep and my health. Well, onto waking up early tomorrow for Sac Con tomorrow...

Bobby ^^;;

Hi Friends,

Lately, I have been getting Christmas presents for my friends and family, and even at good prices! I bought my Brother and my Mom and Dad some gift cards for Olive Garden since I guess adults want something to eat than gifts nowadays.

I thought that the experience of sharing time together is a gift in itself, since no one can take that away from each other. Especially my brother, since he's recovering from a relationship, but he is getting better.

About the Youtube stuff. First of all I LOVE Youtube, and don't have anything against them, at ALL. In the very beginning, I used clips from songs for educational use only. For those who are subscribers or watchers of my channel, Youtube has asked politely for my stuff to be removed because of the copyrights on some of the videos related to the songs. I mean, DCMA [link] says that if it is for educational use, there is no harm. It's just a more greater mess trying to convince or persuade them really.

All I can say is, if they say so, I gotta remove it, right away, like it was an extreme emergency. At least it has a once in a lifetime chance for you to watch it, before they say to take it down. I love my title for my channel, and want to keep it for the world to see.

I really apologize if I have to take it down, since I still want to remain in good standing with them. I see a good future with them in the long run though, since they could offer business with me in more important things. I mean, I could be with Youtube partnership, but I would really need someone to help give me a job with them or something in the near future.

Well anyways, just to let you know I am announcing the winners of my giveaways on Sunday to see who won the Hatsune Miku prize. There will be a very very special guest on board to pick the winner.
Well, onto going to sleep, and gotta go to San Francisco tomorrow to meet with my friend Jackie, and the special guest!

TBC,
Bobby ^^
