Hello Friends,

Lately, I've just been drawing, and still working on the Montoya Naly project. It's going good so far!

Okay, so the last movie I rented was "Bruno" which was the same guy who made Borat.

What did I think?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AWFUL!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

That movie scarred my brain cells for life. That probably offended a lot of the GALA community, and that I had to raise my hand and shield some of the scenes because it was just too extremely bad, and that I felt sick watching it.

Well, onto movie 2: Smart People!

VERY GOOD. It was touching, and heartwarming, and very intelligent. It helped me regain back my brain cells.

Today I went to the SJ Toy show, and it was pretty good, and met some contacts. It was pretty cool. I only made five dollars there, but I went there to help my friend Mike, since something happened at his job, and that I wanted to help to lift his spirits. Sometimes, there are things in this life's Galaxy that we do some kindness that it isn't all about take take take money all the time, since we only have one life to give and reach out to others. People really remember us for that.

I had a good time, I had traded my Movie Megatron for the Iron Man Movie Toy and Iron Monger for that, since I needed some research on the design.

Well, next show is Sac Con, so I definitely will be there helping my friend Mike.

Okay, write later, I got a headache.

TBC,

Bobby

Hello friends,

I've been doing nothing lately except for working, and I have been working on my latest anime - cg - music video masterpiece with Journey's Song, "Don't Stop Believing."

I spent about 13 hours straight working on it [well of course going to the bathroom and eating]. I've enjoyed every minute of it, except for the frustrating thing is that Windows Movie Maker doesn't have enough virtual memory to handle multiple scenes.

Of course I cussed out a lot, but after a while, I stopped since I knew what I didn't want next time to do. I really wanted to use another program, but I am squeezed on time since I have to do laundry, home chores, blah blah blah..

So today, I watched "Ninja Assassin", and well, since it is sponsored by DA, I really can't give out my personal opinions too much. The only thing is that there was too much gore, and after awhile, I just got kind of restless watching it.

I'm sorry, but I watched a lot of Ninja movies since the late 70's and 80's and I thought it was just too much blood and dismemberment, that the swordplay felt like doing the same combo on a video game or something. I just really felt that I would enjoy playing Ninja Gaiden or something.

I didn't even see any smoke bombs.. >_<;

From a music video creator perspective, there were some scenes which were pretty creative, but for the most part, there were some scenes I just didn't understand.

Well, I tried to explain as best as I can to not bash the movie, but from a directorial perspective, I think there should of been some improvement. I highly would not recommend young kids like 16 or so to watch it, too much splattering with blood.

I was surprised an Asian couple with a baby actually brought their baby to watch it, and their 5 year old son... if that was my family, I'm really conservative of letting them watch things like that.

Well, time to get some work done with the home chores and make lunch tomorrow, and make some artwork for Try Japan Culture.

TBC,
Bobby ^^

Hello Friends,

I've been really busy with borrowing a lot of CDs and watching some DVDs for research. Lately, I watched the new GI JOE cartoon, "Resolute" and it turned out pretty good. It wasn't that great, but pretty decent.

Otherwise, my wrist got better, and then afterwards it got sore again. >_<;

About work, I've been pretty much swamped there, and usually my nerves are screaming in agony [arms mostly] from strain because I have to put up with a lot with it, and that I usually have no energy to draw. I truly don't want to be there forever, but I still need the money to keep up with living independently, and not living with parents.

I just have enough effort to just try to heal up and relax and stay still, and calm down. I can only do so much, I want to have a better paying job in the future though.

I'm still working with the concept designs for the Montoya Naly project, and also the story, as the outline of it is coming to a close.

Otherwise, I've been listening to a lot of Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, and Journey. This is one of my favorite songs by the way:

In a sense, it does make me yearn for fatherhood... hopefully this world will help me attain that goal. Or God, or something...

Will post more art soon,

Sincerely,

Bobby

Hello Friends,

Since Tuesday I have been going to the dentist, [and paid $370.00 >_< [boo hoo!!] for a cracked filling in the lower quadrant of my teeth. Now I know not to chomp on breath savers anymore or blo pops or bite on hard foods. I feel like an old man needing to only eat pudding or some pureed foods... baby foods.

It was not great that I had 4 shots in one section of my mouth that were deep, and felt like it was gonna pop out on the side of my face, but I took it like a man, and then things felt better for the dental work.

It was good afterwards that it was done, since it was leaking bacteria and stuff, but not in a really severe way. Kids, please use a Sonic care toothbrush or brush and floss your teeth since the cost of doing this work, is about the same as getting a tuneup thats over 30,000 miles or something.

But in laymans terms, BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND FLOSS OR IT WILL COST MONEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Don't make the same mistake I did... now I have 2 other cavities to take care of next year that will be $250.00 which I have to save for ... man, that's like 3 weeks of grocieries or something.

So the next day which is today, I had seen the doctor to talk about my wrist. He said I can't really play video games that often .. guess thats the side effects of working at Sony and Atari as a tester....

So I also got some TB shot and blood drawn from me since I just wanted to know what my cholesterol levels were .. every 5 or so years people should get checked out.. you never know...

Well, i have to go cook my pasta with Tofurky sausage {vegan sausage) and I'm getting a headache need something to eat, so will write later.

To Be Continued,

Bobby

Hi Friends,

I am sorry that my journal entries have been shorter and shorter. I've been doing less thinking lately, and more drawing, since I would like to go work in Japan later on. I also have an inflamed nerve that came back in my hand, so I have to take it easy to be healthy. I can't really flick my wrist as often or soreness happens when moving it a certain way -_-;

I have to continue drawing so I can live my dream being manga artist or anime artist. Hopefully I will marry a nice woman who will believe in me and follow my dreams for making a franchise in my characters I have drawn. I am too old to keep holding back, so I must do this.

Anyways, I highly recommend watching Astroboy becuase it was meant on the big screen, and the textures and colors were gorgeous. I am glad I spent 10.50 on it. It did have a message, and I did shed a tear on the movie because it was significant and emotionally touching. At first I was skeptical about it, but it did have the same essence of Tezuka's story, but I still respect Tezuka's stories too. I gave it an A Plus!

Well, have to go, need to get to bed and have my hand heal. Later!

To Be Continued,

Bobby ^^
