About my respect for others

Ok. So i read the Terms of Service, and i noticed i can't talk about some things.

First of all, that was expected. I mean, wich site allows you to put obscene, harmfull, terribly wrong content on it.... None, unless you pay for it. And even then, there are limitation.

But then, i reach my second point, and that is that obviously this terms are violated as a daily basis. Even in Fotolog, even in Geocities, even in Keenspot... Some people plain and simply take the TOS and ignore them in a hidden corner.

So, what should i do? Respect the law so my site keeps in here untill i want to, or pretend that nothing will happen to me and keep talking about whatever my obscure, wicked perverted mind pops out?

Complex....

Not in the mood

My head is burning at the moment... So, i'll say it short.

My hours of standing at the computer watching galleries and webcomics endlessly are reaching a critical point. I mean, if i don't do something soon, i'll become a lifeless human....

Or maybe not. I'm doing well at the university and the comic workshop is really good. I've been drwaing better ever since i got in there, and finally i'm able to say that i'm ready to do my webcomic without fear.

But others may disagree. My family says that my social skills are worse than before, and that my sense of humor is getting more "gringo" day after day. Man, i can't even get a fake laugh if they tell me a joke of theirs. And if i laugh, they say it's too loud and overacted. Well it's my laugh, so what? I can't change it. Or i don't want to.

Well, i sort of like doing this daily websurf anyway. But i think it's kinda creepy if i say to others that i'm watching 54 webcomics at the time... And rising... Plus the 16 DA galleries.

And another fact, i'm getting more and more.... Jeez, i don't know if it's legal to say this on the internet, so i won't.

Let's get on that after i read the terms and conditions.

Let's get this straight!

I wnat to thank Daniel for fixing my computer. It turned out my motherboard can't and SHOULDN'T accept my processor, but we made it and now it works... Unstable, but it works.

Anyway, i left some ideas floating about what i mean with "techie language" in the last post. Not any of you may get the idea if you don't know my weird and somewhat common relationship with Japan... So, let me explain this a little.

The first contacts i had with the japanese culture come from my childhood, when some documentaries about express trains (better known as shinkansen)and samurais were aired on TV. I eas amazed that the same country could hold that huge culture and really futuristic technology.

So, at my "fake golden years", that means at 13 to 15 years old, my friend at that time Manuel taught me what else does Japan means. And , honestly, i got shocked. I mean, i realized there is almost nothing i know that doesn't come from there. Tons of electronic devices, TV series, and 20% of all the music launched in the world come from there. They educational system allows to see kids of 15 knowing more that i knew when i was 18. Squid products, matriarcal society, video games, different climates... Wow.

So i thought it was good to live there, but there it comes the dissadvantages. The suicidal rate in Japan is higher than anywere in the world, they are still closed to other cultures, there's so much pressure on the kids in order to be "someone in life", the lack of pollution leads to visual contamination. So, after all, it was still a country with its pros and cons.

Manuel was interesed mostly because of the videogams and the anime-manga, thing that i barely knew what mean at that age. But i was interesed because of the higher social development and such. And because of something else... Maybe it sounds crazy, but i thought that Chile was like a very younger version of Japan. I mean, if there weren't for the colonization maybe we could have hared the same history. Crazy idea, i know.

So, then i changed to anther school and my relationship with Manuel turned into a permanent hiatus. I wasn still interested in Japan, in the form that i wanted. I knew that most of the technology we use is developed or made there, so if you learn japanese (according to my logic), i was able to get first-hand equipment if i wanted to be a scientist.

So that's what i mean with "techie language". The language i need in order to manage some technologies i use in the laboratory. Now, there are some issues i need to undrstand first and then i will know if that was the reson i decied to take it or not.

Whatever, it took me three days to end this post.

... Drop me a line

I'm a little busy right now, but i know that's not true at all. Let me explain it a bit.

In fact, you can't "let me". I run this site. :D

I had to pospone some subjects at the university in order to take another ones i failed last year. That means i have, like... 13 blocks less. That means 24 hours and 45 minutes i don't have to spend on any classes at all. I'm doing this count adding other subjects i took in order to fulfill further requirements. In other words, i have one extra day to do everything i want.

At first, i spent that time on the computer. But i realized it was dangerous to keep doing that. Don't freak out, but there were times which i wasn't blinking for half an hour. And, also, i ended with tons of links to visit over and over, an infinite list of webcomics, DA galleries and blogs, plus i haven't managed my songs yet and refreshed my dynDNS.
So, i looked for something else. And now, there are three different activities:

Job: I joined to a program the university offers in order to get a job. I did that today, so it's the more recent activity (or further activity) i'm gonna do. That way i can earn money in my free time and spend it in equipment for my computer and other stuff.

Webcomic: This activity splits in two branches. One goes to make the comic itself and the other is to perfect my handrawing. For the first branch, i'm spending some time at night to make sketches and scripts of what may some strips be. I'm also designing the main and secondary characters, wich is a hard labour because my webcomics stands over real life people, and i want to make my characters LOOK LIKE the real ones, not identical. The landscapes are also in process. About the other branch, i'm tracing over some drawings i found interesting and making tons of copies of some pictures i see in everyday life. I'm also attending at a free workshop about "Drawing Techniques of Comics" in the mall. I start the workshop on Thursday, so i'm not aware of the main tendency we're going to stand over at it.

Japanese: That's the most unattended subject, yet i'm willing to take it as soon as posible, if i wanna manage the "techie language". For that, i'm looking forward to an internet course i found a while ago, but there's not enough space on my hard disk to do that (back to the computer). The other option is to attend a course, but i must keep in contact with the advisor in order to know the schedule and the costs. The idea is to manage some intermediate domain on the language before my brain solidifies and i won't have a complete domain on the language.

So, in fact i am busy. I'm trying to spend my time wisely, and of course i'm also helping my family to clean up the house and do some heavy work my mom can't do. For example, the holes you have to dig around your trees for not letting the water spread and remove the weeds easier. But yet, i'm not busy, because there is a "weight" in the word busy that implies not being happy all the time you do whatever is keeping you busy. Or am i wrong? Some may say i'm wasting my time, and others will think i'm not.

Yeah, that's the tribulation behind this. The point of view that involves the fact i'm busy or not is subjective. Therefore, i can't settle as a fact that i'm busy.

End of story. Drop me a line, even some dots, to know if there's people out there. I can talk about some interesting people i've met recently, but let's get to that point another day...

... Just believe...

Another day.
