why is metallica still around?

so i'm probably halfway through Vonnegut's (sorry for my spelling, if im wrong), SLAPSTICK. After reading a second novel by him, I really enjoy his fluency of chapters and how they simply transition with ease and still reveal delightful twists about the story. im starting to do some work at my old highschool for my student teaching so I probably wont finish it till sociology next week, oh well.
even crazier though is running into my old 4th grade art teacher. see, ive been emailing him probably for the past 2 months trying to ask him to talk to a publishing company for me. this is probably nerdy as hell writing about, but its pretty huge, ive been drafting shit probably half a year now and actually started a rough draft of a semi story that i can actually discuss on an actual professional level..whatever that may mean. ive been shooting emails back and forth and scheduling a meeting at the end of the semester with my art teachers friend he's talking to and a member of the publishing company. im suppose to have a rough draft completed, and have to fly out on my own money.
normally id feel like this was a stupid fucking dream, but the fact that my story actually isnt retarded, and my art teachers friend isnt a normal friend. oh, and did i mention the publisher is IDW...and well the friend has pretty big pull.

ughh rain

Umm so my towns partially underwater so that sucks haha, Manville blows. And I guess its been forever since i really posted shit, so this should be a worthy entry.
But yeah totally ditched out on the last book like a tool, got bored of zombies and a weird ass story line filled with monsters. Steve Niles is a cool writer and everything, but his whole super exaggeration of main character Cal McDonald and the characters drug habits just make it kinda, uhhh too exaggerated.
But i stormed through Slaughterhouse 5 based on my love for lost, and it just looked good. Lovvved loved loved it. The entire theory of time traveling but solely in your mind and the situation it puts the characters in. Not knowing when you are or what going on at certain times seems scary as hell but could be incredibly fun.
Anyway I picked up SlapStick by Vonnegut or however you spell it, its funny already, buttheres too much water to chatter. I need to head to Brunswick so im not stuck in lameville
