This is a first

Well, I thought I'd give this journal thing a bash after being on DA for a couple of years, so here it is: My very first journal entry. Whether or not anyone will read it, who knows? I'll just look at it as one of those rare opportunities to launch into a monologue about anything I want to.

Here's a bit about who I am and what I do:

I live in Johannesburg/Gauteng South Africa. By day, I write scripts for a children's television channel. We produce a fairly basic magazine program between cartoons and do a live morning show on Saturdays. TV is very interesting so far, and it's a field that I'd like to explore other aspects of.

By night, I'm an illustrator/ armchair vigilante. I'm currently working on my second book for a local publisher who plans to distribute locally and in a couple of International markets. It's been fun, but I'm really feeling the need to work on my own stories, and I've decided that that's what I'm going to do when I'm done with this book. I feel now more than ever, that I have it in me to produce stories and art good enough for the American or European comics markets, and it's very frustrating not having the time to get those ideas onto paper, so by the end of the year, Dark Horse, Image, and maybe even DC and Marvel better be ready for me! Or maybe I should get my ass in gear and get ready for them. We'll see.

And here's my forwarded joke of the week:

Q: What did c:\DARTHVADER say to c:\DARTHVADER\LUKESKYWALKER? A: Luke, I am your folder.

So that's me. If there's anyone out there who cares welcome to my journal.

See you online. :) Keep the comic book faith.

Yello buddy. Im also listening to My Chemical Romance but the song "mama". Are you the one that posted on the comicwrx site that you are reading Harry P?.
:iconthegothamite:
Yes, that was me. It's so annoying that I have to wait till July for the "Deathly Hallows" to come out. I've already pre-ordered it on Amazon. I've become a serious Harry Potter fanatic. JK Rowling's such a great writer.

The whole "Black Parade album's excellent. It would be awesome if MCR came to SA.

Finally I got someone to talk abouth HP!!!. Theres no fans on comicwrx!. I cant wait for Deathly Hallows and Im sad as well cause its the last one. Go and check out her webpage: [link]. I usually get all the news there. And theres a few things you can do on the site and you get some hidden treasures! I saw the preview of the movie and it looks really cool.
:iconthegothamite:
We should start a Harry Potter update thread on CW. Even if it is only us who'll be posting. Order of the Phoenix does look really good. I wonder how it'll compare to the book. I was kind of disappointed about Snape at the end of Half Blood Prince. I always thought he'd surprise everybody and be a good guy.
:iconkarien:
Good idea. I will go and make one. Jip the movie looks very cool and the movies usually are a lot like the books so I guesss we must waite and see. I also thought Snape will turn out good but I guess he is a bad one from the beginning. I was a little bit disappointed at the end. And yes the whole album of MCR is very good. What other music do u like?
:iconkarien:
Oh I did make a thread ages ago. Its under Talk Crap
:iconthegothamite:
I like quite a diverse mix of stuff. I'm really into old school Guns n' Roses at the moment. Recapturing my school days, I guess. I'm seeing the new G n'R in April. We'll see how that is. I'm a little apprehensive but also excited at the prospect of seeing Axl perform.

I'm crazy about Tori Amos. I'm digging Fall Out Boy at present too, and thinking of getting their new album.

My MP3 collection ranges from classical to cheesy 80s pop like Duran Duran and Yazoo. Oh, and I'm also a very big Depeche Mode fan. You?
:iconkarien:
