Happy New Year!

Yep, it is that time again, when yet another 365 days have passed by in our lives, right in front of our eyes, and now we are 3 years closer to the Apocal-- ER, to... uh, wait, never mind that.

Anyway, 2008, despite all this "financial crisis" and whatnot that surrounds us (which we under-18-year-olds have yet to be concerned about), has been a pretty good year. Lots of interesting events, many good times, and memories to be remembered for years to come. Now before I get all nostalgic and start from the beginning of last year in review, I shall veer away from the past, and look forward to the future (what a grim future... if the world is really going to end in 2012... Whoops did I say that? >_>)...! 2009 shall bring many new surprises I'm sure, and all we can do is ride this everchanging current we call "life!"

...Oh, and tomatoes. [/random]

Well, I suppose I should list some of my New Year's Resolutions:
These are in no particular order, by the way...

1. Be healthier in general. That means less junk food, more health nut food, more exercise, and more sleep. Hey, those things will help me with my other resolution:
   
2. Grow taller. >_> When you're barely over 5 feet, you know you're in trouble height-wise...
3. Gain flexibility. I need to be able to do a split...
4. Procrastinate less...
5. Higher grades. (say wut?)
6. Shout less... It's really hard on the throat.
   

Some of these (1, 3, 5 and 6) I'll most likely be able to achieve, while others (2 and 4) will be a "bit" harder...

Well, all in all, here's to a new year, 2009! Cheers!

ANYWAY VS. ANYWAYS

Warning: This entry may contain a large amount of ranting. If you were not expecting a rant, it's not too late to turn back and go to some other page... This is your last chance... Okay, here goes:

Why must the human nature be so... stubborn? As you can already infer from this title, this is about how people never change their old ways, either because they are too used to it, or they purposely do it, simply for the pleasure of seeing how others react. Now, before I go off on a tangent and start ranting about cheese or something, I'll steer myself back on topic by saying: just what exactly am I ranting about? Well, there's an easy answer:

One. Simple. Word.

"Anyways."

For those who are going, "What?! 'Anyways' isn't a real word..?! Q.Q" Well, tough luck. It's not a word, and never will be (I hope... -gulp-). Really, in order to be grammatically correct, you must use the real form of this imaginary word, "anyway." NOTICE, THERE IS NO "S." YOU HEAR ME...?!Now, if this is news to you, do not despair! For I too, used to be a fan of the word "anyways." But alas, that was before I found out, that this word, despite its popularity, does not exist! From that point on, I made it my goal to correct those poor souls who still believe that such a word exists! You would not believe how many times I come across such popular usage of this word on a daily basis. I have already made it clear of my intolerance for this word to my friends and acquaintances-- And yet, they instead, have seen it as my main pet peeve, and have now turned it to their advantage! Oh, the horror of it all! (YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING TO...)

So be it. If they choose to use such a nonexistent word, then I shall not give more of a rat's cheese worth of thought on it. My opinion: Continuing to use the nonexistent word "anyways" in everyday life, whether because of old habit or for personal entertainment, shows immaturity and lack of true understanding of such a complicated language as English. Now, I can not say that I know everything there is to such a diverse language, but I do know this:

"ANYWAYS" DOES NOT EXIST.

But whatever. "It's your future."
("itz ur brain." Only a few select people will actually understand the reference... But ANYWAY...)

Disclaimer: No, I usually don't make my rants this short. I wouldn't even call this a "rant..." But it will have to suffice.

Old random... comic.

(click for the full image)

Yeah, I started a comic series back in the good ol' 6th grade days, and then I took it up again for a few months last year, which continued into this year. Here's one of the last ones I drew, and it's probably my favorite too. (Hey that rhymes...! Uh anyway...)

Sorry for the horrible image quality. It's probably the best I can do with such a limited format...

Anyway, I'm probably going to move all of my old comics here, just for the heck of it. After that, I'll probably just start an entirely new series. After all, a green jelly blob and a purple flame? What the heck? ...No, that's just something that I won't keep.
