Deviation Actions
Well, this Halloween has been rather enjoyable for me. Granted, it's not the best Halloween I've ever had. But I managed to enjoy it while I could. For one, there wasn't that many trick or treaters, so I had the entire night for myself. Even though I didn't get invited to a Halloween party (since most of my friends who I know in person don't celebrate Halloween that way), I've managed to entertain myself by playing some of the more recent horror themed games (Resident Evil, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and Silent Hill), as well as watching some of my favorite horror movies (Fright Night, Demon Knight, Interview with the Vampire, Tales From the Hood, 28 Days Later, and Stay Alive). Watching horror films on Halloween for me, is a great way to pass the time. Be they old movies or from more recent years, I'll watch it as long as its entertaining and satisfying. Now, I know I already mentioned this. But this Halloween was the 16th anniversary of my unpublished horror comic which I made back when I was 15, which I reviewed and uncovered in October of 2013. Like I said, each and every Halloween that comes and goes, I always take the time to look back at that point in time, and reflect on the memories I was left with. Today, it's nothing special as it fades drastically in comparison to my more recent projects. But still, October 31st, 1998 is a day that I will always remember. Because completing this comic gave me an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. The kind of satisfaction that I don't normally get nowadays due to the constant pressure I endure from the real world. Well, I have plenty of other horror themed stories besides that. One of them being the story of Derek which I revealed just recently. And as I mentioned, I made a short cartoon for that story back in 2006. And it's based on a graphic novel that I've been working on since 2005. And now, almost 10 years after I invented it, I'm still working on it. Because although I've completed a handful of chapters from that story, there's still plenty of other chapters in the series I haven't yet completed. Yes, I was somehow able to make time to work on those stories and yet I was never able to remake my comic or make the long overdue sequel to it. But oh well. That's a story for another day. But anyway, I think that if I can develop the story of Derek into a series of comics, I might be able to sell it. When I get employed that is. And if I'm successful to find someone who would be interested in selling it. But until then, I still have to endure the hell that is college. And besides that, I have plenty of other original stories of my own. Many of which I did not yet reveal to my friends and watchers here on DA. But again, that's a story for another day. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed this Halloween. And I hope you all had a good time as well. Best wishes to you all, take care, and God bless.
It's Done...
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the deed is finally done. We had Chulita finally put down. When I woke up at 6:30 this morning, it was dark and raining outside. And well, that sort of weather fits my mood right now, as it was kind of like a foreshadow for the loss I was about to endure on this day. We left at 9:00 this morning to bring Chulita to the vet. We signed all the papers and paid for the necessities needed to carry out the action. But I stayed with Chulita until the very end. And as I comforted her in her last moments of life, I said this to her; "Thank you, Chulita, for staying with me for 15 long years. When I first got you, I was reluctant to accept you into the family. But with time, I came to love you the same way I loved my previous dogs. And you did your job well which was to be my companion. You were there for me when Chiquita passed away, and we both shared the pain of Muneca's passing. We have that in common. And we had good times together. But now its time you joined
Sad News...
I knew that this day would come sooner or later. But I'd better get this off my chest while I am still able to. My dog Chulita, who I have had since 2008, is succumbing to old age. In fact, since last year she's been feeling ill and not her usual self. Obviously a sign that she's giving in to old age like Chiquita before her. She doesn't seem to remember things very well, and she's lost control of some of her bodily functions. Lately she's been urinating everywhere, vomiting constantly, and has a decreased appetite. The same symptoms Chiquita displayed when she was dying. Just yesterday, on March 19th, my mom and my nephew have expressed that it may be time to put Chulita down soon. My nephew even stated "At this point, I feel bad for keeping her alive." To this, I reluctantly agreed, and I stated "You're probably right. After all, she's long past her expiration date. As much as it pains me, we may have to put her down so that she doesn't suffer." And not only that, but all of her
Remembering 1994
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're three months into 2024. And right now I just want to take this time to reflect on some old memories before I continue with my journey through this life. Its human for us to accumulate memories as we make our way through this life. Its part of what makes us well... Ourselves. We go through the stages of life, and we create memories that we hold onto, be they good, bad, or bittersweet ones. And there's no shame in being nostalgic so as long as you don't obsess over old memories, as that distracts from the here and now. But believe me when I say that I remember 1994 VERY WELL, despite the length of time that has elapsed since that year. Its been 30 years now since that time. But it all seems so brief to me. And speaking of which, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of my arrival to the United States. I'll explain my history to you for those of you who have forgotten or who are just getting to know me. As I mentioned in previous entries, I was born in
Arcade Nostalgia
3 days ago, I found a website where you can play old-school arcade games online. And it was from this site that I finally got back in touch with games that I haven't played in AGES, like Rastan, Double Dragon, Street Fighter II, World Heroes, Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters, The Simpsons, TMNT, X-Men, 8-Man, Marvel vs. Capcom, Capcom vs SNK, and other titles. And not only that, but this also gave me the chance to play games which I only heard about in recent years, but never had the chance to play them in the arcade. Hey, its a big world. And its a HUGE library of video games made by different companies. And the list goes on and on. But there were some games which I only saw speedruns of on YouTube, but never had the chance to play them when they were newly made. And the games I FINALLY got to try out were Mutation Nation, Power Instinct, Burning Fight, Haunted Castle, Metamorphic Force, Violent Storm, and Vigilante. And I must say this; playing these old games again
