I take everything back. Substituting sucks.

So im at the high school right now subbing for a spanish high school class. All i do it folow the lasson plan, so its pretty easy. I met one douchebag of a bastard but since it was less paperwork to send him to the office and the was only being a retard to me when i talked to him, I chose to leave him alone. Other than that, everyone seems nice and understanding that its my first day. I've been talked to by a few teachers to stop letting kids call me by "Henry". I look like a rebel by letting them apparently. What a fucking badass I am.

In my free time I've been fleshing out the mythical part behind vggdrasii's universe. It's not too in depth and will be revealed throughout the story. I read Mark's comments, and dont worry, almost all of it was explained beforehand when i was taking an independent study with Jonathan, and theres only one part that seems as if its going to take place in the afterlife. I love you so much Mark.

Photography!

Went out and took some picture at dawn this morning. A heavy fog rolled over the marsh and i got a few keepers.

The Demon

“The stories are true. The Black Demon from the South dives into our ranks and emerges unscathed. From my gate I could see him cutting our men down, as many as five in one blow. It was at this moment that I realized we have overstepped the boundaries of humanity. At this moment, that I knew our city of rock was to be relinquished to the Velic people... When I stood imprisoned before him and his ‘Vggdrandi,’ I looked up to the Demon, and there was nothing. The sun was shining brightly, the sky was a bright blue, and there was nothing but a maddening void of blackness within his helmet. Of this I am sure. Of this, I am cursed to dream for the remainder of my days and beyond.”

Tepotia Vs. Velatia Vs. Reality

So I haven't updated my blog in a while. Things haven't really been crazy, i've just been lazy. Sort of.

I've applied to about five different places for work, and have been utterly unsuccessful. Its been quite depressing and boring. THe depressing side of it sucks, but the boring side was exactly what i needed to motivate myself to start creating things. I've got two projects going on right now. One is small, one is big.

The small project is a rock garden. I'm going to build it right behind a creek that runs though my backyard. There's a large open space that would look beautiful with a raked pebble garden. THe first step is clearing out the brush and vines and basically clearing a path that would lead to the garden. That's what I'm still doing. Weedwacking, weeding, and wheelbarrowing undesirable plants. After a few days of work, I'm about a 4th of the way there, but if everything comes together, it will be georgeous.

The bigger project is a book. I want to write a book about Velatia and Tepo and everything stuck inbetween. When I'm bored, my best work comes out, and by that logic, I will be the fucking lovechild of Vonnegut and PIcasso by the end of the week. I've been wanting to do this for a while now, and I'm beginning to feels its finally time to buckle down and make this thing happen. It will take a long time, but honestly, it's not like I'm doing anything else. I'll be posting excerpts from the history thats already written about Velatia, and once in a while i'll post excerpts form the actual book itself (like last week).

MUch of it will be unedited, and simply a way for me to post specific parts of the story that i am focusing on at that period of time. Kind of like this post! Here i go.
