On a brighter note

Life rules, music is a great way of reminding yourself to enjoy life, No matter how shit your situation may be.

I'm loving writing, and I'm loving Naruto. I'm loving teaching; a job where your constantly laughing and having fun sure beats the shit out of a job of constant stress and deadlines. Go eat a bag of dicks James Cameron, but make sure you enjoy it!

Notes

So Im in a pc bong with no paper to write on, and Ive got some ideas which loosely connect with what I'm supposed to be doing here.

Ive always enjoyed characters who are specifically very nice people and have a humble and wise outlook on life. The type of person who believes humor and positive thinking is the best cure for most of life's problems. As far as Ive noticed this type of character is often quite self reflective and intelligent.

I like the idea of this type of person being faced with a harsh reality that they cant deny. Such as the necessity for death of others or yourself. I'm almost afraid to write specifically what I'm thinking here (It has something to do with overpopulation). As my recent thoughts have led me to some pretty dark and morally unacceptable places (morally unacceptable by our current doctrine).

On this note I had a conversation with a like minded person last night and they brought up that while people will be in denial and clinging to our current ways for a long time, it will probably be film and entertainment industries that change the way we think. Is it too early to start now?

I promise to myself there will be some drawings posted here soon.

Star craft and octopus

I'm eating a very large and whole dried octopus while playing starcraft with 2 of my students at a PC bon.

Still here

So Im still here working, Korea is awesome. Im not nearly doing enough illustrations however. Ive mostly been writing, which is challenging. I really need to start drawing, even so at the least I can have a decent wallpaper for this blog. I did however find this which is great inspiration......

One thing

One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that  I intend to use this blog to document my time living here in Korea.

I decided a short while ago that I would try to see how much of my food I could grow in my apartment utilizing UV lights and potato shelving and whatever other techniques I learn about. Its something Ive wanted to do for such a long time but being such a vagabond I haven't had a place to do it. An easy dangerous excuse would be that an apartment is not the idea place to grow vegetables, but Ive decided to relish the challenge. After all, If I can place a little bit of hope in peoples ability to learn to grow food in constrained conditions it would somewhat ease my mind. I'm also becoming interested in vertical farming and its implications for future world crisis and the colonization of the cosmos.

On that note, I need to be undertaking and documenting a bit more research. An appropriate example to the former is the building in which the people of the story reside. Its supposed to be a perfectly sustainable building which mirrors a common motif of their culture.

So things to expect are:
Photos of my apartment showing the 1st stages of my indoor garden. Also my own findings on anything related.
Research, sketches and designs for my own vision of a home for a culture who believes firmly in sustainability.
