Forgive me Blog for i have sinned...

It has been 4.5 months since my last post

So! Finally, from the smoke and ashes, a figure emerges! no... its not a trick, not a dream! It's me! :D SAM! back again on the blogging scene four and a half months down the track!

Now, why, you may ask yourself, oh decent reader, have I chosen this particular junket to Junk it up? thats a good question. It may have something to do with the fact that PRAC BEGINS NEXT WEEK! ack!
And I'll definately want to be recording what happens next!

So, with that answered, another question yet remains: "What has happened before?"
Well...a lot really! just recently - this weekend past in fact - I have been working again at SUPANOVA (refer back to April 2005 and before that, October 2004)! Very busy, but THE place to be if you ever hope to call yourself a geek, fanboy, nerd, otaku or what have you! There was an incredibly geeky fanboy moment for me - having my photo taken with Geoff Johns and Phil Jiminiez - Pretty much THE top two creators in the comic industry at the moment (Geoff for Writing and Phil for Art)



I couldnt wipe the smile off my face for about five minutes after that. I recall a lot of "eeee! Eeee!" after they left ^_^ most of it from me!

Previous to Supanova there was a one week break from the pandemonium that is University this year. Seriously, this years workload is insane. I find myself skipping many many things in order to get stuff finished! And now I have an assignment and an exam due Thursday! Huzzah! Brilliant. And dont get me started on Practicum...

In other news, on the 18th of April I celebrated a one-month anniversary with my Girlfriend! (Yes, you read that right! - Girlfriend!) Laura! Who you may remember from such jobs as "The Daily Planet" way back about two years ago before she went overseas! :D so yeh, thats another big thing thats happening...

Other than that, things are pretty hectic as usual. keeping up with World of Warcraft as often as I can, visiting friends irregularly, getting rid of debt, still working at the Daily Planet (Theyve cut down my shift to just Saturdays now - aside from this week where I worked 35 hours over the weekend!)

Thats about all i can think of right now! Well, that and I need to do my assignment!

SO, this is SAM signing off... I'm back people! ^_^

Job - Job 1:21 -



A single thread in a tapestry
though its color brightly shines
can never see its purpose
in the pattern of the grand design
and the stone that sits up on the very top
of the mountain's mighty face
does it think that it's more important
than the stones that forms the base
So how can you see what your life is worth
or where your value lies
ohhhh, you can never see through the eyes of man
you must look at your life
look at your life through heaven's eyes

Heaven's Eyes - The Prince of Egypt

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

"I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government."

"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

- Woody Allen

"And you, who once were alienated and an enemy in your mind by wicked works, yet now I have reconciled in the body of My flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and abover reproach in God's sight."

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime. Therefore we are saved by hope
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes sense in any immediate context of history, therefore we are saved by faith.

No virtous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or our foe as from our own, therefore we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

Reinhold Neibuhr

"Meet the virtuous and think how to be their match. Meet those not virtuous and examine yourself."
