Wow, been awhile since I've posted on deviantart. I see a lot of changes, and people leaving. Looks like there has been a crackdown on content, as well. I saw something I had written was even deleted. Funny it was up for about a year, and now it gets deleted. I guess my writing was a bit to graphic and real, I'll take that as a compliment... 

I har a virus on my laptop, so it had to have a reboot. I saved all my work on a USB drive. A friend updated my laptop, but now I can't open up my the files with my work. It kills me to see my files there but not be able to do anything with them. It looks like I'm gonna have to save up and buy a new laptop as soon as I can afford it. On a plus, I did order my pass for NYCC. All in all, a frustrating week.

Keeping myself pretty busy these day. I'm in the process of writing a script for a project with a friend, as well as my own stuff. I Hope to have a table at next year's New York Comic Con. I wanna build an entire comic book universe, but it's gotta have a humble beginning. I've even thought of taking a couple arts classes, maybe I can expand on my skills. It's all about Evolution...

I Love comic books, and the industry in general. I've always wanted to be a writer, but never thought I was worth a damn. I remember in HS a girlfriend and I would go to the local comic shop, and check the all out. We'd even come up with stories together. She always thought that I should've sent my stuff in, but I always figured they were shit. All this time I've read, watched, and dreamed about comic books. About 3-4 years ago, I decided I needed to attempt it and started writing. I moved back to NJ, and focused myself on this goal. I had this goal of being published, by the age of 35. I'll be 35 in about 6 months. Hell in my head; I should've been published, had 2 spin offs, 4 signings, animation deal in the works, Stan Lee on speed dial, an apparel line starting, 3 Eisner Awards, and talks of a video game. lol I joke... But I began to realize that the goal was not very realistic if I wanted to do it right, and truly make an impact. I also saw that my push to attain this goal was more out of rage, spite, Hate, anger, frustration, revenge, and pain. It was gonna be my way of showing someone that I was worth more than they ever thought of me, and that they could kiss my very nice Black ass. I feel ashamed and a bit dismayed that I have acted in such a manner to my first Love ie comic books. I started to see that my journey there has; made me new friends, gave me my confidence back, allowed me to use the screen as therapy, make something new, showed me the flaws in the industry, make a product that doesn't exclude everyone but a a couple groups, opened my eyes to new comics, shared close moments with someone very special once upon a time, Honor a lost friend and showed me that I still have some resemblance of a heart. The goal will be great, but the road there has been and will continue to be Joyful... Thank you.

Last Saturday was the first ever Asbury Park Comic Con, and it was a great turn out. I was very proud to be at the first one. To my knowledge, NJ doesn't have any comic cons. I had to support it, and the environment was a great vibe. I Loved see indie guys pushing their wares and appreciating the Love. On their site they announced that they are having another one on September 29, 2012. If you are in NJ, and wanna support or get other info on it here's the link www.asburyparkcomicon.com/...
