Well I decided to do a little piece with my favorite inflation character Pooko. Sorry I haven't been around much, may be around roughly the same. But I'm glad I did a piece I wanted to do. Nothing special and I'm sorry it's not Impossible Inflation Part 3 but I do plan to finish that someday.

Feels kind of good I must admit though I'm not expecting a lot of comments.

Turned 22 on the 21 of July, pretty nice birthday. Got a bunch of Toho movies and such and I've been watching Mobile Suit Gundam and started Z Gundam. Nothign too special I suppose but I'm alive!

Oh, started playing GTAIV, I mean for real. Rather than the other GTA games where I just ran around and killed people, doing actual missions here!

C'mon BigNasty I cannot wait for my comission!

Yeah yeah time for the angry comic book reader again. Skip to below the line since there's some actual good news from last month, in fact I thought I made a journal about that. But first the stuff that pissed me off.

So I am NOT a fan of the One More Day and Brand New Day storlines from Spider-Man. For those that don't know a year and a half ago there was a huge retcon that really broke a lot of character personalities all at the whim of Marvel's stupid editor and chief, Joe Quesada.

In a dumb attempt at damage control the Spider-Man board at Marvel decided to be ONE topic discussing One More Day/Brand New Day since they knew it was going to upset a lot of fans. So it worked for a while, the page had both sides raging and hitting a crazy page number of nearly 800 pages.

Then the head mode decides that it's too much damn work to monitor ONE topic and closes it. Who I thought was actually a respectable man, seems I was wrong. He supported the new direction but it seems like an opponent in a debate were the other guy just storms off with his fingers in his ears ignoring the opposition.

Gets worse. Another pretty long topic, "Bring Back Spidey's marriage" was also closed at near twenty pages.

It became pretty much from the head mod: Don't make topics about OMD/BND. Which caused a bit of an outcry and I admit I sarcastically made a topic asking if the sales topic (detailing the overall sales drop of Spider-Man) was going to get closed to.

The mod banned me for a week. Then decided to ban me for a total of three weeks.

WTF!? If you're closing off voices at the cost of losing those that actually like BND then there's something wrong here.

Anyway a number of topics were popping up calling the mod a facist and such, ugh I wonder how ugly it's going to get there...and I can't see it while being banned!

Anyway nerd wage, happier stuff below.

I submitted a story and won third place in a writing contest! That was so awesome! I wish I remember to make a topic then. Maybe I can make it as a writer after all!

Well I gave RPing a chance with someone on AIM. She, yes I was lucky enough to get a chick, acted like Pooko, made conversation with her, then she inflated up. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope I can find another since I worry I bug her too much. If anyone is interested send a note.

Saw Wall-E at long last, easily the cutest movie ever!

Sorry if my latest story was kind of lackluster but I'm glad it's out. One more part to go.

Time to really hit the gym too.

I'm going to keep this brief. Saw Watchmen over a week ago. I enjoyed it and felt they actually got an Alan Moore adaption rather right. Not perfect but I was fearful. Went to California with the family, saw Disneyland, and on the last day saw my first concert. It had Billy Joel and Elton John! Very awesome but I hate to sound greedy but I was let down Joel didn't play Big Shot, that's my favorite of his songs.

Now I'm getting sick, going to class was torture, and I may not go in tomorrow. Still writing Kim Possible. In fact I may just get to a certain point and make it a three parter instead of a two parter. So expect it pretty soon.

Oh and I'm waiting to see if the latest page of Beachberry Blanket is an April 1st joke or not.

I know you guys know that I've always tried to get as much work out as possible. That I do appreciate whatever comments I can get and faves. And maybe you guys are well aware that I've slown down the last year to year and a half ago but I think it's about time I admit it and there's no use fighting it anymore. I don't think I have that spark anymore.

Writing inflation stories isn't quite as entertaining as it once was.

There was a time I could pump out two to three stories a month. Maybe it's because I wrote during culinary school where most of the work is in lab and not with homework, and/or I had a different job with not so many hours. Maybe I've matured a bit or something. So it's time I admit that it's not so much of a blast and is a bit of a chore at times. I'm going into semi-'retirement'.

Not to say I'm going to stop writing. I'm not going to try to get pieces out once a month like I've been trying to (and failing with flying colors) so they'll be more like events. Pretty much I worry that people get up in the morning or check deviant art in especial hopes that I've produced something. I'm probably thinking too high of myself if I'm thinking that but if there's one guy...

Another reason I'm doing this is because I have a bad guilt system in me. I feel I have to do some sort of goodbye or something like that. Well it's not really a good bye. But I need to give some sort of closure in admitting that I'm slowing down. So it's also partially for me because I feel guilty when I consider myself late with work. I want to get rid of that and not be so stressed.

I certainly get a kick whenever I type in blueberry inflation in search, I think it's those words, and I see my very first story right away. It's a nice little honor that I hope I can hang onto for a while longer. I think my best story is my adult version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I admit would love to do a sequel to.

So I guess I'm going the way of Bellymanga or Johnnyswell in which I've slowed down, give something every once in a good while, but never be completly gone. I'm keeping my stuff hope,well continue to search for inflation stories and sexy artwork, be around deviant art, answer letters, take and give advice, and so on. But I've finally admitted to myself that I'm not as wild as I used to be. I do plan on finish the Kim story so don't worry

So this certainly isn't good bye, more like a very slight see you later. Maybe like a teen leaving the house for college. They'll be seeing their parents less but they certainly won't be out of their lives. Unless they're crappy parents that you want nothing to do with, and I certainly hope I'm not one of THOSE mother-in-laws.

Oh and I'm happy to see another page of Beach Blanket Blueberry up. For a second I thought he quit on that.
