Well, after a long hiatus of not being on DA, I am finally back.... I think. I am not certain, although I have been working on and added some new pieces in my new art journal, "Black Book V: Fox Fire". It has been rather slow, because I have been excruciatingly busy with school. Going for this BFA in Theatre Performance degree has got me running to and fro like a madman! Hopefully it pays off someday... It had better.
Well anyways, this is just a quick journal entry to announce that I'll be on and off for those of you who care. Well... Back to work!

I am in disbelief.

I am very heartbroken.

He was a huge influence in my childhood.

I love and respect him for who he was and all of the efforts he took to make this world a better place for all of humanity despite all of the negativity of the media.

Rest in piece my childhood hero. You will always live on in the hearts of millions all around the world; including this one right here. Thank you Michael.

Well, as of late I have been extremely busy. School has me going back and forth everyday and every moment; it is rather insane. However, where there is insanity, there is also a fun challenge; at least I hope so. This play in which I am currently in - "Psycho Beach Party" - has me at school for long periods of time every day; from morning until late night. So as one can imagine, I have very little time for other things; important things such as homework and work. So right now it is a very big struggle trying to keep things in order and efficient.

I have had no time to draw. Play any games; or anything for that matter. I have been reading textbooks until my brain says "Oh my God! Please stop!" Hehehe...
Of course there are some interesting reads. I just finished reading Voltaire's classic, "Candide" for my history class. It was rather funny and speaks a lot of truths in humanity's name. I have also read a play for my Script Analysis class titled "Hedda Gabler" by playwright Henrik Ibsen. This was a wonderful play, and I am going to audition for it come next year; as one of my professors will be directing it! Man what an ending it had; completely unexpected!

I am currently looking for two good audition monologues - one classic and one contemporary - and one has to be comedic and the other dramatic. I need them by mid-April so that I may use them in the BFA Theatre Performance audtions in May. God I hope I get in that program! I think I may have found a good classic-comedic monologue in Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac"; man I love that play; for it's time, it was pretty damn funny.

And then there is the chance of me being cast in military play. Finally! The play is titled "Streamers" by David Rabe. My Professor claims that he sees me as the only student fit to play this role; since he said it is very difficult. The role of Carlyle is a very maddening role, as it is just that; crazy! Nothing's for sure yet though whether or not this play will take off or not at Chapman. Let's hope so.

For those of you who actually read these, "Wow". I just wasted your precious time jabberin' on about daily crap! It is a journal after all though; keeps me somewhat sane.
Ich brauche daß, weil ich ein bißschen allein zu fühlen. Bye folks!

So I have been rather busy as of late. School started you see. So far, this semester has been rather gracious with me in the sense of relaxation. Though I may be rather busy, I am allowed the pacing that I want to get things done at least.

Although, nowadays, I have begun rehearsals for a new play come this late April. A play titled "Psycho Beach Party" by Charles Busch. The name of course suggests a comedy; which it is. It is indeed rather funny at some points, however I am rather hesitant on inviting family (namely my younger Sister) to the performance, since it does indeed deal with sexually provocative comedy; the best kind. Hahaha!

I have been taking in quite a bit of Shakespeare for my Script Analysis class; which is fine by me. My only wish is that I could better understand Shakespeare's words; damn this Olde English! I've read "Hamlet", "Othello", "Richard III" and just recently "King Lear". Although I enjoyed "Hamlet" quite a bit, I must say that I very much enjoyed "King Lear" more so! It was my first time reading it and after analyzing the text, I was very intrigued with the story! Poor, foolish Lear; he should've known better than to divide his kingdom!

I've been playing Call of Duty: World At War lately on the 360, and man, I just love it when World War II games are done right. And this game does it justice; it's about time someone made a good version of the Pacific Theatre on a WWII game.

As far as drawing goes, I've been far too muddled with other things as of late. And so my mind is far too cluttered to gain any inspiration for drawings. I've just made doodles on scratch paper when I'm bored in class so far. Haha!

Well, there it is folks! Another wasted time typing and reading this journal! Back to work!

Also, hier gibt noch ein neues Jahr. Hoffentlich es wird einen gute Jahr sein. Die letzes Jahr war Scheiß.
Meinen Wolfchen hat mir gesagt daß sie im Mai nach California zuruck kommen! Gott sei dank für daß! Das freut mir viel! Am Ende dieses Woche werde ich ins eine Kreuzfahrt zu gehen. Ich bin sehr angst vor dem Meer also hoffentlich nichts schlectes passiert! Hahaha!
In drei Wochen werde ich wieder zu Schule gehen; meinen zweite Semester meinem zweiten Jahr im Chapman Universität. Gott im Himmel, ich kann nicht glauben wie schnell die Zeit ist. Also, ich bin sicher daß, ich gerne, wann meinen Woof nach Hause zuruck kommt. Bald...

Also, wenn sie (der Leser) kann mein Deutsch zu lesen, ich bedaure weil mein Deutsch nicht so gericht sind. Tut mir Leid. Ich bin nur üben mein Deutsch. Danke!

If you can read this, I am sorry for my terrible grammar; I am only practicing after all.
