The birth of Sleepy 4 A.M. Productions |
|
In the beginning, there was Jake Productions, maker of Reversitation. However, there was a slight script error, so it was then re-named Reversiosity. It involved 3 partnered friends: Colby, Jake n' Cody.
Then it became Sleepy 4 A.M. Productions, so named because everything was done in the VERRY early morning, it mainly involved stop-motion animation and non-commercial fan-subbing (It's a long story). This involved 1 more partner- Erik. Although, Russ showed up sometimes. It then changed to El Mono Raro Productions, featuring silent film, Claymation, and stop-motion animation. One more partner, that exchange student who's name I can't remember (he got to keep a certain clay figure that has certain signifigance). He, unfortunately, left. Mikey, Erik's cousin is around now, though. Just recently, a new kid hit the scene. Me. I'm still a part of El Mono Raro Productions, but what the hell, I stole the Sleepy Four A.M. Productions. Nobody else was using it! But as soon as they find out... |
Various sayings that I thought up, believe I thought up, or blatantly stole |
|
Mother nature may be beautiful, my friend, but she's still a bitch. Aaagh! Don't know! Don't want to know! I don't ask, I don't know. No matter where you are, you're always there. "How'd you break your wrist?" "I jumped off a ca..uh..I mean, I fell down the steps at a friend's house..." *I would not recommend jumping off a car driving at 45 mph. It hurts, I know.* |
Stuff I've noticed about the world (some art related) |

If you saw something completely unbelievable, and nobody else saw it, no one will believe you. If you and your friend saw it, it becomes even less believable because you may have come up with the story together. If you and a stranger saw it, nobody ever hears from you again.
*Obscure reference!* Pen and ink is a very good medium, especially if you want a tattoo and can't afford it (or keep pens point-up in your pocket). I live in a place that has minor earthquakes weekly. I intend on going to art school in San Francisco, California; a place well known for earthquakes. I predict that I will die in an earthquake, just because it'll hit my house, and I WON'T DO ANYTHING! I'll continue to sit there an my roof will fall on me. It'll happen just because that's what I do when an earthquake hits here. There ain't jack on TV at 4 in the morning. *Socio-political observation* I have given up on society, and I fully believe that mankind (I use the term mankind because it's a shorter term than human kind, and it comes more readily to mind) will destroy itself, or greatly reduce it's numbers. This can be avoided by eliminating two key problems. One is the need to be above others; this is often misconstrued as greed, but it is not- it's more expansive. The other is our feeling of aloneness; mankind feels that there is no one living under the same conditions, and anyone who hasn't lived as them does not have the right to tell them that they are wrong. I have found this to be true in the fine print; everyone lives their lives differently, but this also means that no one would be able to judge another. However, nobody reads the fine print. Man looks tho those who have a similar experience so they have less of a feeling of aloneness. What mankind needs to realize is that we are all human beings, and despite our experience, there's very little difference among us all. As for the need to be above others, I don't know where it comes from. Mankind needs to realize that no matter how much you have, done, created, or destroyed, you are no better than the man you've tried to stand on. |

Religion is the destruction of science. Science is the destruction of religion.Being a genius, (T_T) I find myself leaning toward the science side. But I am not without beliefs. I believe in evolution. I believe there is a source of good and evil in the universe. I used to be christian, but I gave it up, finding that organized religion has caused too much destruction to be considered good. So, I hold my own beliefs, and I don't try to push them on others. But I can not stand idly by as a well-known chunk of science is smashed down by organized religion. The place: a midwestern state (I forget where) The culprit: Bible-thumpers (sorry christians) The victim: Darwinism (The age old fight, I suppose) The school board has decided to teach Creationism instead of darwinism. OK. I can deal with that. But to delete nearly all references to Evolution is a bit too far. The lady heading this succeeding campaign stated that there's no real evidence of evolution. The fossil records are, apparently, not enough. Or all we know about Genetics. Whether the life on this planet originated through evolution is not for me to say, but evolution is happening now. It's just that she denied the fundamental basis of reproduction and adaptation. This is something that should be taught to children, or we'll be reverting back to...well, I can't think of a time when you didn't know that your child was going to look like you because it had a part of you. Organized religions I have a problem with.Christianity- They (in my eyes) are responsible for more evil than good, and it's a very oppresssive religion. I don't blame God for this. Man has done the evil. This is hard for me to say, because my entire immediate family is protestant. Buddhism- I will not worship a man. No man is above another, no matter what he has attained. This is also very hard for me to say. Most of my extended family is Buddhist. Judaism- I have no problem with the Jewish people, but they have a really oppressive religion. Wicca- I don't believe nature would just give you power if you do the right incantation. Nature's not giving like that. She either gives it to you right off, or not at all. Shinto- The emperor is not a god. No man is above another. (sorry Aki-san, I know you're Shinto.) Religions not listed here, I know virtually nothing about. I decided that I would rather live my natural life free to do as I please, rather than spend it in mental chains, and my afterlife in choiceless bliss. It's not worth it in my eyes. I am a reasonable man, I don't think the bible is just a book, it's a very good thing; it teaches us to be the best we can, it's word is very inspirational. Man however, has used it, and twisted it's words for an excuse to do evil. It's easier to do this in large organized religion, so I quit such religions. |
My generation- Jaded YouthI don't mean to be a traitor, but I am. I watch the world go by, I listen to the music. There seems to be a large calling to the musicians that have nothing to say but "Life sucks!" Personally, I have a fairly good life, but I wouldn't say that about everybody. Personally, I feel life is a beautiful thing, and no matter how bad your personal experiences, life is not to blame. Yet, if somebody came up to me and said "life doesn't suck, just your life does," I would feel pretty insulted. Instead, I've decided to list the stuff I find annoying. Complaint: "Life sucks!" Answer: "Then you're not truly living it." Complaint: "People suck!" Answer: "Meet new people; you can't judge an entire species." Complaint: "My parents don't understand me!" Answer: "It takes a long time for people to learn who someone truly is. Talk to them. If something is irreconcilable, then your parents don't matter. Be patient, eventually you'll move out." Complaint: "Society is oppressing me!" Answer: "Move." Anything not listed here I either forgot, or requires serious therapy. Don't E-mail me and try to change my opinions, I'm a very stubborn person. |
Relationships!Oh, it was only a matter of time. I will be speaking from third-person experience here, and a little first-person experience. A disaster usually makes you sit down and take stock, think of what you took for granted. This taking stock has made me look at my relationships, and what goes on between us. First, though I'll tell you of the disaster that made me take stock. A good friend of mine and his girl broke up last week. This may sound like just another relationship, but you don't know my friend. He was devoted to her; so devoted, he'd give up anything for her, and I mean anything. He had recently become depressed, because he felt he was failing at his art; he was considering throwing in the towel and concentrating on his music. The only thing this man was passionate about was his art, his girl, and his music. Thank God he still has something to be passionate about. I fear you may not know just how much he loved her, and how much it was a brutal shock that they broke up. Only 2 things would come as more of a shock to me. Mikey and Amanda breaking up, and the sky cracking and falling to earth. I would be less surprised if the sky fell than if Mikey and Amanda decided to part. Back to the subject, I sat and I thought really hard about relationships. I wondered if it was possible for one person to be so blind to the devotion of the other, but I could find no answer that seemed to make sense. Logic says that there's no way you could miss that, it's like missing the sky. Something may come by and obscure it for a moment, but it is always there. However, it doesn't seem to work that way. And as always, my thoughts turned back to my friend and his girl. What was he not providing? what hadn't he given her? I have no idea why people cheat, and I have a feeling that this was one of the mysteries of life. I can understand a man cheating a lot easier than a woman, sheerly because I understand what goes on in a man's head (y'know being one, and all). I don't condone it or like it, but I do understand it. Which brings me to another point: Would I be able to keep my own wandering eye in check? I've never cheated, but I do love the ladies. Sorry, I'll finish this later...maybe I can sort this out in my dreams. G'night |
