**Bold quotes are my absolute faves!**

Hey all, so finally I've gotten around to something I've always wanted to try my hands at....DRAWING MANGA!!Sure I suck at it but at least I am putting my foot out there...So this first one here is of some guy's face.  I am learning from Manga U so am hoping I'm doing ok with it.  You will never believe how hard this is to draw! I've been drying for hours and finally I manage something that look like a face! YAY ME! The eyes aren't right still but at least it looks like someone's face and not just some bloody scratches.  I am gonna keep at th eyes until I get them looking a little bit better.  But these pics are from my sketch pad so they might be a tad fuzzy. Let me know what you guys think of my drawings for an absolute beginning when it comes to this kind of thing.

I've always wanted to try it. I mean I bought the sketch pad like three months ago. Why I didnt start then was beyond me. Anyways, I went to this website and it is showing how to draw them step by step, get a feel for it. I'll never be perfectly good but who knows? At least I am learning something new and it's challenging. When my writing gets to a stand still like it seem to be doing a lot lately, I'll just pick up my sketch pad and doodle a little. But th eyes are the hardest parts to draw! OMG! This one righ there is of a happy face. Th emouth didn't come out to right and the eyes are different size but I got the emotion right. The nose is 'perfect apparently but everything else is a tad off. 

I am so happy right now! I actually accomplished something I set my ind out to do!! This year is going to be a good year for me! Ijust know it! This was on my resolution list from last year and I am finally getting around to it.

So this next guy is supposed to be pissed off.  The eye brows need a little bit of help but other than that I say I got the eyes a little bit better and the nose is right.  I was trying to draw a head around his facial features but so far can't seem to get the chin right. But for a first try this isn't bad.  I kept forgetting how to draw the mouth or shading in the wrong area but I finally managed to get it out and on paper.

The shading is a tad rough and hard but I guess it's to be expected. I am not using the pencil they said I should *shhh* *grins* but I guess once I keep practising it'll get better. The next pic is of some guy being all stubborn--but I kinda sorta messed up the eyes.  Couldn't draw them properly--keep getting the wrong shapes to them and shading so after a bit I gave up.  I think I got the eye brows right along with the nose, mouth and kinda the chin.. .And then last but not least, the frowning guy.  I haven't gotten a chance to try my hand at the smirking guy yet, but I will at some point. Ok the frowning guy was the second easiest one to draw (followed by the angry guy). His eyes aren't perfect but everything else looks right. I think I drew his lips kinda too long but all in all a good attempt I think!

I am so proud of myself. Look at me go! After the weekend I've had I am glad to just chill and have some drawing fun. My body is exhausted because I had so little sleep this weekend. I am still trying to catch up on sleep. Now after I've tired myself out with my attempt at drawing manga, I must now proceed to watch The Mummy. I could use a good laugh you know?

Anyways, I'm going to add a video to this blog. It's one of my newest favorite songs called "Shakin it 4 Daddy" by Robin Thicke featuring Nicki Minaj! I LOVE this song. So it's not the official video because they don't have one yet, but enjoy the video anyways. And if you wanna get down with your bad-self, turn off the lights, climb on the bed and dirty dance to the beat of this tune! I absolutely recommend it!

Anyways, Hugs,

Movies - What I just Realised

So the other day I started watching at least one movie a night. Why you ask? Well because lately I haven't been giving myself time to breathe. I would go to classes, come home stressed and go to bed--then I'd have nightmares that terrifies the crap out of me. So anyways, I re watched a few classics like UNDER SIEGE (When Steven Segal was pretty good for an actor), Commando (of course! With Arnold), Rambo: First Blood and a few others. Movies I used to watch when I was a kid. Then I decided, well, since I enjoyed those so much, let me try something else. So I re watched The Mummy (*purrs* Brendan Fraiser), The Hangover (classic--they just don't know it yet) and the list goes on and on. 

The other day I decided, let me go WAY out of my box. You know sometimes when you go to the video store, or the movie theatre and you stand there looking up at that huge sign that tells you what movies are playing and what time and you see that one movie that stands out to you that you know is gonna suck but you decide to go see it anyways? Well, that is how I feel after watching A DANGEROUS MAN and UNDER SIEGE 2 with Steven Segal.  But in my defence, UNDER SIEGE one kicked ass! *runs around room doing karate chops and making machine gun sounds* So I figured, UNDER SIEGE 2 can't be that bad--right? Right? Other than the fact that I, a movie buff, who worked in a video store for years never heard of it--it can't be that bad--right? WRONG! OMFG! This movie was horrible. Bad acting, bad acting, BAD ACTING! The only thing that made this movie tolerable was a young Morris Chestnut...and that's barely!

I mean dude, because you were on a ship the first time doesn't mean you must go to a train next! WTF!? Well at least they didn't do a bus (Speed reference there...if you didn't hate Speed 2 like I do you won't get that one).

So onward to A DANGEROUS MAN with the same actor. At the end I sat there, blinking, thinking "WHY! WHY!!!!" Halfway through the movie Steven is in a sex scene with this chick who was supposedly his movie wife but she betrayed him after he went to jail for a crime he didn't commit--*breathes* Steven Seagal in a sex scene...say it with me....ewwwww!

 I swear, Steven Seagal should really STOP making movies. This movie is slow with horrible acting and half the time he's sitting down. Then to make things even more disturbing **SPOILER ALERT** (though I don't know why you'd even go waste an hour and a half of your life after I told you this movie blows big baby chunks) he ended up with a young girlfriend who--is young enough to be his daughter in real life! How sick is that?

So here's what the movie is about...k? Steven Seagal, ex military (of course) gets arrested and convicted for killing some guy who attacked his wife. Sure, he was wrongfully convicted and spent six years in prison. While he was there, his wife decided that she wanted out so she sent him a dear john letter in prison.  (Notice how they are no longer married and there was no divorce paper signed or anything). So right after that, new evidence turns up he gets released. The same night he's released, he witnesses a crime, helped a guy out, broke a few necks, blew up a few cars blah blah blah. The guy he helps out just had to be the son of a Russian mob boss and now the Mob boss owes good ole Stevie a favor.  Sounds like a good movie, right?

But anyways here's what got me about this movie--The movie had WAY too many bad guys. The Russian Mob, The Chinese Triad and Dirty cops--wait no...I think the Russian mob became the good guys at the end--wait, no...the Chinese Triad became the--see my point? At the end everyone was shooting at everyone and we had no idea what in the hell was going on. Bombs, neck breaking, stabbings, gun shot to the head--it was all a bloody confusing mess.  This movie blows baby chunks...wait that's putting it too nicely...what's worse than saying "this movie sucks"? Erm, this movie tanked, sucked, stunk up the joint, rated worse than the Rotten tomatoe website can give it---ok I'll stop...

Now here's what I think--most of us go to the movies or where ever we watch our movies and we go in with an expectation. But we should know better than that when certain people (Steven Seagal) is in the movie we should prepare for the worse.  I am tired of hearing people saying, that they wanted their money back because they thought a movie was going to be so awesome but it end up tanking.  OK for example THE CONDEMNED with Stone Cold Steve Austin.   This movie got very little credit. The movie wasn't the best movie ever made but going in I know that it wont be good for it's breath-taking dialogue or it's romanticism of the Convict culture. I expected the acting to be lacking and shit to go wrong.

But the thing is, Stone Cold held his own--he did. I was actually quite proud. He kicked some ass and took some names, but emotion when needed was all over his face.  Sure he wouldn't win an oscar, but the guy held his weight. That movie was way better than UNDER SIEGE 2 or A DANGEROUS MAN. What does that tell you?

Going into this movie, I wanted to just let off some steam after a hella long day. I didn't want complications or drama--hell I didn't want to think. But I enjoyed this movie because I wanted to be entertained---I wanted to see a sexy stud like Stone Cold (purrs) to be put in a situation that he had to fight his way out and return to his lady love all bruised and want nothing more than to fall into her arms and stay there forever. I wanted a strong silent hero--a hero that just doesn't take crap from anyone.  I wanted a hero that isn't afraid to snap a few necks but has a heart of gold. I wanted dirty CIA agents, and Cops who are willing to fight for what's right. I wanted cute, cuddly little boys that play football with each other in the front yard. I wanted corny lines to make me laugh. I wanted stuff to blow up, people to fall off cliffs, guns to go a'blazing, Japanese Karate sexy stud that turned out to be one of the worse bad guys EVER! I wanted crimminals that all they wanted was to find their way to each other again and the bad guy to get their come-uppance-es. I got that.

I got all that--what does that mean? I was thoroughly entertained.  Which means I am going to search for Stone Cold's movie DAMAGE and watch it right after watching episodes of NASH BRIDGES that he was on....ahhh good times...

I think it's time we stop putting these actors on a pedastal so they can disappoint us when they really suck in a movie. Take a movie for what it is due to who is in it. Don't go in looking for some highly complicated story line if it's a movie created by WWE Films. Expect raw violence and heads being cracked open.  If a movie stars a wrestler, chances are it's going to tank if you go in expecting some intellectual enlightenment. That's all am saying.

Anyways,
Past this falcon's bed time.

Countdown to Interview #1

So, countdown to interview #1 with the agency. It is the first of many. I called my dad last night and he couldn't talk because he was on his way out the door. But this morning after couldn't falling asleep all night, I fell asleep at like four or five A.M. My dad called me at seven A.M. I love him dearly but I was having such a lovely sleep.  Anyways I am glad he called because when I feel so anxious, scared, nervous--my dad has the perfect things to say. I may not see it at the time he's saying it but afterwards I sit down and think it.

So after my dad called, I lay down, snuggle into my sheets and pillows and whimpered, "daddiiiiieeeeeeee!" but then I woke up and showering I thought about what he said, and what he said was this, "just be yourself. Breathe, speak as intelligently, breathe, answer what is being asked." Stuff like that. And he's right...I have to remember to breathe because when I am in a certain situation, I forget to breathe and then start talking a mile a minute. Those who know me can attest to this. My drama teacher taught us some breathing exercises which I should utilize.  So, I am going to breathe, lift my head held high and knockin em dead! Well--er--not really dead but you know what I mean...

Me all Dolled up and Aprehensions

So today was a beautiful day outside...and because I had drama I couldn't dress up and look all sexy--here's why. In my acting class, we move around, do yoga, jump up and down, lay on the ground--except today, we didn't do any of that *sigh* anyways I felt like getting all dolled up when I got home so this is the outcome of that being dolled up.

The sun was shining  but in the back of my mind I keep thinking about tomorrow. Well some of you who haven't read this before may be wondering what is so special about tomorrow, Friday. Well tomorrow is my first interview with the guys over at Footprints for my South Korea journey.  I am nervous for a few reasons--I mean I am HAPPY I finally made the decision to go. Why? I've been pussyfooting around the issue for almost two years now, even my mom was telling me to make up my mind. So finally, I made th decision. The process is LONG so if I want to be ready with everything by the time August rolls around, I figure I should start as soon as I know that I will be getting my Degree.  I got confirmation on my degree yesterday because my gurl Velz and I made appointments with the advisers (no not the same ones I was with the last time) and got a print out of everything proving that I am ready to graduate. 

Anyways, so I have my degree ready to go, I just have to get a police check, passport size pictures--get those pictures notorized, get interviewed by the South Korean consulate, get an Alien Card (That says I can work at my school and ONLY at my school in SK and that I am legal to go to the country - that kinda thing. It's sorta like a visa).  Anyways so I need a a medical in Canada, a medical when I hit South Korea all that kinda stuff and those are just a few of the things but anyways I digressed there for a minute--the interview is tomorow and I am as unprepared for it as if I was going to go in and talk to them.  I am always nervous about interviews...I have no idea what to expect. 

I was getting sad about this whole deal today and I had to stop myself--I litterally stopped in the middle of my university campus, I think the guy who almost crashed into me was wondering what happened--but I figured, it's a part of life. It will be a wonderful experience, even though it is scary, it should make me stronger. So, I'm going to take a deep breath, lift my head and step into it with my all. That is all to be done at this point. I am going to be open minded and make it FUN for me and the children I get to teach if this whole thing gets approved. 

*breathe* It's a wonderful day all!

2010 So far

Hello all,
so far in 2010, I am nearly halfway to where I wanted to be.  Sure, I'm on track with getting rejected from Harlequin. That seems to be yearly tradition - It's funny though because books Harlequin rejects always go on to be best sellers for me so I'm not too worried about that. It just seem they don't want what I'm selling--oh well--will keep trying. 

I haven't graduated like I wanted to in December because my Advisers gave me the wrong information and then refuse to help me fix it afterwards. You have NO idea how angry I am at the moment.  But the extra semester is almost over--only a few weeks and a few papers and exams to go.  I started job hunting but in this economy, who knows anymore?

It just seems that no matter what I do, life throws me a curve ball and the only constant thing I have left to keep me sane is my writing.  This year I've decided will be the year that I step up and start my life. I mean, sure I said that every other year but this year I am serious. I am turning 27 this year (to my mom that's three years from thirty and I keep cringing and telling her not to push it so fast) and I can't afford to be sitting around doing nothing as per usual.  My friends always say, "you're a writer. You have a diploma, you're getting your B.A, you've done something with your life!"

Did I though? I mean I wanted to travel, go on road trips, have my own place by now--none of that is here. I've done some travelling but it's not what I wanted to do.

My plan is to teach in South Korea for a year. I've finally bitten the bullet and applied for that. I have the interview with the recruitment agency this Friday coming. It just grinds my gears that I have to go to a country TEN hours away to work when I was trained by Canadians and in Canada.  My country can't give me a job to pay off my student loans. *sigh* But I can't just sit around crying over it. I have to get up, leave my family behind for a strange new world that's going to scare me half to death. I mean, for the first time I won't be able to call home and cry to mom and dad every other day about how everything is bad with me. 

South Korea could be a galaxy away to me but it's not like I have a choice, right? It will probably break my heart but I'm old enough right? But that's not even the thing. Imagine being somewhere where you can't just hop on a bus or into your car or run down the street to your best friend's or your parent's.  Imagine being completely alone in a new place, with no one to talk to. It's heart wrenching isn't it? But that's what I'm going to have to deal with.  It's only a year right? And a year will go by like *snaps fingers* that. I hope...lol

Anyways about my music/video box in the right hand side. I've got music there that says who I am. I've got fun music, sexy music, old skool (am talking Freddie Jackson and The Whispers), Ke$shia, George Michael and a whole bunch others. So even if you don't read all of this blog, you'll have music to jam to. Oh and if you've read this, please become one of My Dahlins (follower) on the right hand side at the top--I think. But sign up to my blog!

Anyways, tons of love,

Remember When...

...Grease was the word?
...Living on the Down Low meant you were living a secret life/having an affair and had nothing with being secretly gay?
...music like "Rocky Stead" by The Whispers and "My Best friend" by Kelly Price featuring R.Kelly and Ron Isely was REAL music?
...When "Move bitch get out the way!" was not acceptable on television?
...you could go to a concert with like 60 000 other people and had a good time without worring about catching a bullet?
...your children could walk home from school without you fearing that some low life would snatch them away?
...Boys walked around with their pants at their waists and didn't look like plumbers?
....you could buy your kids any CD/Casette/record without looking at the back because you know there wouldn't be anything offensive in the music?
...Patrick Swayze was sexy as hell just because he danced and no one thought it was 'gay'? ...children didn't bring guns to school?
...condoms weren't being given to thirteen year olds?
...kids used to say 'yes sir' 'no ma'am' and not up 'yours?'
...our elders were revered for the knowledge they could pass down and not being abused?
...our war vets were respected, the flag was set at half mast during memorial/veteran's day?
...guys used to pick up their dates at the girl's home, meet the parents before taking their daughter's out?
...saying 'I do' did not mean "I will sleep with you but if you say no one night I shall find someone else who will scratch my itch"?
...falling in love was something everyone sought and a good love story made us cry?
...watching movies under the stars was the IT thing?
...lying on your back staring up on the stars was better than and TV show Disney or anyone else could cook up?
...getting a degree (BA) in university meant you could actually get a job in that field and not work at McDonalds while trying to pay off student loans?
...having a job that paid the bills was respected no matter if you were working as a CEO or washing dishes?
...men wanted to work and take care of their women and not the other way around?
...friendship meant something--something to be loved and protected and did not mean shove the knife a little deeper---now twist?
...having a shoulder to cry on meant just that and not "where the bed at?"
...having a boyfriend didn't mean ignore all your friends?
...when double dating didn't mean orgy (excluding the 60's lol)?
...girls would have each other's backs?
...two guys could hug without others looking at it as a 'homosexual' thing to do?
...having a few pounds over 120 lbs was looked at as sexy and not a sentence to loneliness for life? (We're talking renaissance here but hey!)
...saying I love you didn't make you a sucka?
...girls used to say "let's wait a while..." didn't mean her boyfriend suddenly didn't love her anymore?
....smoking in public was frowned upon?
...boys wouldn't haul up a lugi (phlegm) and spit it in front of a woman?

Ahh the good old times. Anyways, as usual my name is a link.
