Awe man! It's been almost a month since I've posted anything!!!

Life has been full of busyness since school has started again. I want to draw more, but there's work (which no one else seems to have) and I really want to learn Japanese. That on-top of practicing guitar, it's often quite difficult to make 'finished' art projects.

Life has been filled with its ups and downs, like normal. Recently though I've been feeling an overwhelming sense of loneliness. There's a horrible lack of affection in my life. I often blame myself for this, for I am an incredibly depressing an boring person. (and one should not be so self negative!!!)

I went on a date. I don't know how to date girls! We chatted and walked around a park. I had a good time and she said she did too... but that was that. Nothing special and never to happen again I guess.

When I was in the USA I at least had my cats. When I was feeling lonely I'd give them a big squeeze and they'd get all purr-ful. I was thinking of getting a plant or something, but I have the feeling that a plant won't give the same affection as my cats.

Hooray for sob stories! I'm getting older, uglier, and stupider!!! There's so much to look forward to!!!

Been playing some video games... umm... Yesterday I bitched out a Miyazaki movie because the day was saved with the power of love. Maybe if you've got a girl wrapped around you, one may enjoy the movie ("Ohh, the movie was so pretty and beautiful, let's make out!"). I found it silly and a little depressing. If the day was saved with the power of rock and roll, I'd feel differently about the whole thing.

If you have, thanks for reading my sad little rant.

Love you all,

-Alan

Well, its nice to hear fom you again.
Though, I doubt you're getting uglier and stupider, :).
What Miyazaki film were you watching (I have an idea, but I want to know the specifics).

こんにちは アランさん!

Well I've been in pretty bad funk since 2005. I can't seem to focus on anything beyond a few months. Look at my art, I was doing pretty good... then for some reason I just stopped for like a month and a week or so. Now I am struggling to draw again, it's very frustrating. Also I don't really have any friends at all besides people I know online... and let's not talk about how long it's been since I've had a date.

So I hope you cheer up! Just remember that even though it seems bad, you are probably doing better than you think are. Just keep working hard and you'll see some better times eventually! (also when you do, you'll feel like you earned it :P)

Also have you seen Macross Frontier yet? Man it's so amazing I love it. I keep re-watching it while waiting for new episodes.

がんばてね!

Howl's Moving Castle.

It was pretty decent, but I like other Ghibli films better.
Thank you for the kind words.

It's a shame that something we love to do, such as drawing, can be a struggle.

On your recommendation, I'll definitely check out Macross.
I had a feeling, ;)
Yeah, that movie was pretty, but the constantly changing ages kept confusing me, x.x

Yeah, you're actually a much better artist than I am. I have such a problem with drawing things that I see in my head, I don't know why. It really frustrates me. The stuff you draw looks a live too, I don't seem to be able to pull that off yet :(.

About Macross F: Make sure you watch the Preview version of Episode 1 that came out in January first. The way it's edited and the way the music is done, it's like a movie and it will draw you in lol, it's so cool. However watch the Episode 1 that was released in April too becuase in the preview version they cut out some scenes that will leave you thinking "huh? I don't remember that" in episode 2. Nothing Marjor though. I also noticed there are some subtitle errors on a few of them >_<, but oh well it's still pretty cool!

You know I love Miyazaki, but I couldn't get into that one =/

I like the fire character though, he's pretty cool.

Spirited Away and Mononoke Hime are my favorites still.

It's cause we're sad lonely men...

Or it had way TOO much of Miyazaki's personal opinions that it hindered the actual story...

Not to sure. But, I do like many of the characters. It isn't that bad of a movie, it's just not as strong as his other films.
Macross is in queue.

You see things in your head! That's cool. You just need to find a way to get them out. Try writing a page about stuff you see in your head, then do some sketches of what you wrote.

I don't know if I'm a better artist or not. You've certainly shown some great progress! Personally, maybe I should be more confident in my abilities. Why do I not submit things to the random art contest? Does it matter whether I win or not? It matters more to utilize my abilities to produce art... I guess.

Keep at it man. Draw cause you love to do it. Draw because you have to. ...that 'green' picture I made frustrated me so much! I hated it. I still kinda do. But, I just wanted to finish it. In the long run, I guess it turned out alright.

The most difficult thing about making art is that you don't have anyone busting your ass telling you what to do. The only person an artist has to motivate them is their self.
