Looking forward to next week as it’s my holiday – which was given to me in advance of it’s booked date. And boy, its very much needed…

Taking the week off to catch up with university work, but more importantly for me is the evenings to do some stop motion animation work – the first I’ve done in years.

Hopefully it will be finished by the end of that week and uploaded to my YouTube account…

Finally joined the new forum. In the old forum I was Jleeto. It’s a pretty EMPTY forum. Wow.

I keep wanting to start on a comic to publish on comicspace.com,.. but I just can’t seem to get started or stick with the one I have started.

I think I finally got addicted to WoW. Took me four years of playing, on and off. Mostly off. Definitely really mostly off.

Still doesn’t beat human contact though. I don’t get why people prefer WoW to drinking and partying and socializing and shit.

Yeah after five days of getting addicted, as usual, i got totally bored of it. Happened the last time I tried to get into it as well, two years ago.

Been hit with depression once again, this week. Got upset at work on Monday, but not let anyone see it, if you catch my drift.

I’ve stopped going out now, but have found strength in other ways. First, I’ve started to do digital painting, and now on my forth piece which is a portrait of 60′s singing legend, Mariska Veres(Shocking Blue, lead singer), getting stuck into my two current university courses(I’m ahead on both!Yay!) and gone back to my cardio and weight-lifting.

Oh, and I’ve signed up for life-drawing classes too. I think it will be a good way to meet people and hopefully make new friends. Even a young friend at work said she is the model for the class I will be taking! Hurrah! But instead of going in with a “I know all this shit and I’m a pro” attitude, I’ll shall just keep my mouth shut, learn and enjoy it, as well as complementing others on their efforts.

I think the best thing to do when facing a depression is completely block out anything negative. This can be ditching “friends” who do nothing but moan and bitch, to simply getting on with life and doing anything to be cheerful and improve one’s situation.

I expect I will wake up tomorrow morning and burst into tears once again, but ten minutes later I will be out the door and going for a walk round the block, listening to “The Touch” by Stan Bush on my PSP.

In the words of Sean Connery in The Untouchables…

“They pull a knife, you pull a gun…they send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of their’s to the FUCKING morgue!”
