Well technically my last day was last week, but it's still hard to believe it's already August already. But yeah, while it's nice to some time to kick back before Fall starts....it's still sad that I no longer have to go into that class anymore. Especially since the professor I had was the best one I had in a long time. She was just so nice and supportive, and gave me complements I honestly didn't think I was worthy enough to get. That's probably my low self esteem speaking, but she said I had gifts in terms of making colors with paint. But she also acknowledge my knack in cartooning in some of my paintings. She was always a professor I looked forward too every other class day.
On top of that, my classmates were also really nice. I got to know them a little better, and I even had a good memory with their names. Some would usually come over to see what I was doing, and were also complementing my work. Safe to say that I manage to bond with a lot of them. Even more so than last semester. I think my favorite painting has to be one of No Face from Spirited Away, though the toughest one by far was one of Marilyn Monroe and that iconic "Seven Year Itch" moment with her skirt blowing up....yeah, easier said than done. Hopefully that didn't effect my grade. Speaking of which...most of my paintings got a B, and I even manage to get one A-....so it's safe to say that I at the very least got a B. Which makes it my third one at this college.
So yeah, I'd say this was a great way to spend the summer, and was exactly what I needed after that stressful spring semester of mine. The professor was great, my classmates were great, and it was an overall good time....it's a shame that's the only class that she teaches, and the chances of getting some of these classmates again seem very unlikely...but she did offer us to come by whenever her class days are up. So there's that. And on a little side note, taking her gave me a new found appreciation for certain bands like Radiohead that would appear on her Pandora account.
But now I have Fall to prepare for...especially for that class I have to retake....yeah. Better sort things with DDS and the tutor I'll be having...

..So you know about the Razzies?
In case you don't keep up with awards ceremonies, The Razzie Awards are basically a ceremony that celebrates "bad movies". Movies that were considered the worst of the year, or even all time, basically categorizing which film had the worst acting, directing, the worst movie in general, all that jazz. All of which would be rewarded for a trophy called "The Golden Raspberry." I.E., the last award anyone in the business would want to get. At least as a joke. You may have heard of them through the infamy of Showgirls, Battlefield Earth, Gigli, Jack and Jill, The Emoji Movie, or how I learned about them, Son of the Mask. For 2023, both Marvel and DC tied with four nominations of that year. Now Marvel is no stranger to the Razzies, but it IS the first time a film from the MCU has gotten nominated for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania....how Eternals and Love and Thunder went under the radar is beyond me but whatever. But...what was the DC movie that tied Quantumania in the awards?
Regarding those Nick Trios/Duos
Since a lot of you seem to love it when I do those Nick Trio/Duo picks, I am planning do more of them down the line...except I'm having trouble deciding which ones to do. Actually, I do have SOME ideas...but they also clash with the ideas people leave me in the comments. Such as... Nick Duos of Doug Rugrats TUFF Puppy Planet Sheen Bunsen is a Beast Sanjay and Craig Fanboy and Chum Chum Breadwinners Purple and Brown Robot and Monster The Loud House The Casagrandes It's Pony The Mighty B! Nick Quartets of Penguins of Madagascar The X's The Legend of Korra Action League Now! The Off Beats Rugrats? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pig Goat Banana Cricket ....Only problem is that I might not have many ideas for much more Nick Trios...unless that's really a problem to you guys. But....for once, I'm gonna let those who read this journal decide which Nicktoons I pair up with which set, and maybe I can exchange my own ideas to decide which one sounds better. So.....any ideas?
Planning to bring back Afro Riffs..
And by that I mean, this series of videos I use to do. Why some of you probably aren't asking because you likely forgot that I did these likely? Well, when I first made them, I did have one goal I was hoping to achieve with them....a goal that was incredibly selfish, unhealthy, and really stupid...and once I reached a point where I accepted I wasn't going to get that goal, I just...didn't have the right mindset of continuing making them...especially when I lost speaking terms with the two original co-hosts. But now, (Given that I learned I have a irl friend who use to watch these actually...) I feel like I'm comfortable enough to start doing these again, just so I can have more videos to post, and it could be good practice for editing on DaVinci Resolve. But there's just ONE problem with that....I'm gonna need some new co-hosts. Now, I managed to reconnect with TenshiHanka, but he told me that he has a job now that makes him unavailable to do these, and....I don't want to get into
2023: A Year Recap
Honestly, in hindsight, this was....a pretty good year....for me personally. I won't deny there were certainly awful things going on in the world, but as far as my own personal life, it was quite the step up! But for the sake of it….let’s start with the Bad this time. The Bad: This relates to something that started around the end of 2022, but a falling out with one long term online friend..kinda reached a boiling point. One annoying, but small irl thing caused me to think of all the negative points of that friendship…and it led to an incident that caused the bridge to get worse than it already was…that’s the nicest way of putting it. I’m trying to maybe send something to really make peace with that friend, but…I already got so much going on that I’m not in the biggest hurry sadly.. In terms of my Job Training Program, this year did have some noteworthy changes that took me a while to get used to, but did remind me of the many pains of having THIS be the point in life that I have
