Okay... guess I don't need one. Well, I've moved to Indiana, and I am now ready to start work on making my first film. It is not as easy as I had first imagined, since I do not have the programs I need to edit the films properly. Yes, I have Adobe Premiere, but what I really need are ways to edit in special effects and add tittles and credits...

Know a program that does that?

Let me know.

Holy cow... its been ages... I think I forgot my password for Blog... lol.

Okay, I saw the Matrix reloaded, I lost 7 pounds and I'll be moving back to Indianapolis next month. I am pissed at the ending of the Matrix. I can't wait till I own the xmen 1 2 and 3 and the same with the matrix. Going to go see Bruce Allmighty tomorrow... heheh :)

I saw xmen 2, it was really good.... but once again its hard to bring a team of super heros to the movies without it being a longer than standard screen time. I mean, they have to concentrate on who what when where how the good guys and who what when where how the bad guys.

The human brain can only handle 7 new concepts in a given amount of time, I mean... Colossus was barely memorable... I even forgot he was in the movie until I started writing this.

I have to admit that I thought Night Crawler would be stupid with Alan Cummings as my favorite "Dark Elf" but after seeing the movie, I was reminded that this was the ORIGINAL Night Crawler they were using, the one where he was introduced in a Circus and he was religious... going back in my memory to those comic books, and Night Crawler was a very good character for this movie.... in fact, they showed more of Night Crawler using his powers than anyone else in the movie...

In retrospect, I would love to see a Night Crawler spin off, his use of his powers and his tail and his fighting technique was simply awe inspiring... "I felt it kinda sucked though that once he joined Xmen, he toned down his abilities to a ... "dare I say it..." night crawl... hehehe

For anyone who read the comic book series and all its spin offs, I'd say the movie was jam packed full of actual Xmen Plot history, with Iceman's brother being a jerk *and if you read the comics you will know why* to Jean Grey having the first hints of the Phoenix creeping into her consiousness.

They also hint at the fact that they have already been to the mutant prison Island, which actually was extremely tramatic for all the Xmen... and If memory serves, some quit and went off to become the New Mutants... also, not far from this time line came the Phlanx... but thats comic history and we don't want to go there.

Suffice to say, hints aside, not enough screen time and development aside... Xmen 2 was twice as good as Xmen 1... I give it 7 moons.

Okay this sucks, I lost 4 pounds, but I gained two back... blah... what kinda weight program am I on anyway... hmm, could it be cause I ate yesterday lol.

Okay for real this time... Tuesday today the 6th, the real hunger strike begins.

Yuck, I feel like moldy tuna salad... :(

Well, I fixed the problems with the web site.

Now... what to do to make it fun and exciting and to keep people coming back for more... any suggestions?

Oh, me head, me stomach, my bubbling gutts!!!

Holy Cow, I'm still sick... feel like puking every few minutes and my gutts feel like some one blew up balloons in my intestines... really sucks!!!

On the bright side.... I haven't eaten anything all day... so I guess my fasting has officially started on a wednesday... :)

Howdie folks... was running through the noctra site today, and it has come to my attention that its not as convenient as I want it to be.

I'm not feeling well today, so I will contemplate making it more user friendly and intuitive... on some pages, even I didn't know to click on the graphic to go to another page.... hehehe

... and on the Kewl art page, I repeatedly skipped the 4 hidden pages that shows kewl art from other people.

...and on two pages, I forgot to give credit to two artists... remember folks, even though you give credit where credit is due on one page, if you forget the other pages, law suits will ensue... and we don't want that, now do we...

...okay, enough of that... I need more people sending me art work or links to great art...
...can't do it all by myself people... and nonpeople... heheheh *giggles* at the nonpeople... no offense, I'm a nonperson myself. :)

Awe man, my mom made scrumpuous steak and green peppers and rice and garlic bread and then offered me my favorite orange soda.

She's mean... why is it that before I started fasting, no one cooked... and now that I've started, everyone is bringing home food or cooking scrumpuous dinners?

Needless to say, I need more will power, so we are starting our fast tomorrow... hehehe

Never put off tomorrow what you can do today, unless you already ruined today and you have to do it tomorrow.

About the website so far... http://jqhawkstar.tripod.com aside from the daily bandwidth problems... everythings okay. I have everything tied into the tripod account... including some old pictures. I had to search very hard for my bravenet accounts though. Not easy remembering all my passwords.

Last time I lost all my passwords I was shut down and locked out for a month. Used all my quasi/hack back door skills to get what I needed.

Its especially hard sometimes if your email services have been terminated, like with go.com and xoom.com and talkcity.com all those evil sites had one of a kind materials I had uploaded and awesome html programming.

I don't have any of those editing programs on my computer anymore... long story short, my computer fell and zip went the hard drive... even now the mother board acts funny....

Its sad when you don't have money ... ... cries... maybe I should try and get donations... :) If a million people sent me a dollar... hehehe

I do have a paypal account :)

I'll try it and see :0 who knows what the future may bring :)

Sigh... what can I say... I had another Sub sandwich... and a sprite... no potatoe chips though... man... I suck at fasting... Okay this time... I'm sticking to it... GRRRR! One week no food, only water... here we go!

Okay now this sucks, I had a whole sub sandwich... regular with chips ... footlong baby. Then half a quarter pounder an orange soda and a sprite... I screwed up my diet for today... Takes a little more will power.

Oh, and I need to go on record of my horrible experiences with creating websites... hehehe

Examples, My first site was created at go.com, one day I woke up and it was gone.

My next site I created at xoom.com, again I woke up and it was gone.

My third site was created at bolt.com, and what do you know, I woke up and it was gone.

My latest site was created at talkcity.com, low and behold, the damn site vanished without an explanation.

I must say, I put a lot of work and effort into creating these sites... coding, artwork, configurations, links, forums, chatrooms, all gone. This is my latest attempt. If this goes up in smoke, I'm going to buy my own server!!! Heheh, that'll be the day.:

Okay, update... I am a bit overweight and I need to get rid of this weight so today is also the first day of my fasting. I've NEVER been over my weight limit before and this new pudgyness is very distracting... :(

Wish me luck... :()

Hello, today is April 28th, 2003. I am happy to say that today is the first day of re-creating my internet life. From artwork to forums and clubs.

The task that lays before me is to integrate all my accounts into one cohesive, coherent entity... and to have it look good too!

I will also be re-learning photoshop and a few 3d tools like Maya and Lightwave. My skills have slid into poverty... and I am ashamed.

Well, I look forward to the new era of Noctra Comics :)
