There was a comic book for sale
for only four bucks at the comic store.
That four dollars may not seem
To be a lot of money, but it
Pays for the store to be open
And for the shipping of the book
And for the printing ink, paper, glue
And for the Editor’s organization
And for the Letterer’s words
And for the Colorist’s tones
The My Ship Script.
(Cabin Boy enters from stage left, holding a mop)
Cabin Boy: Of course, Im left to watch the ship. Its always cabin boy this, cabin boy that! Swab the deck, tie that off, polish me sword Never a moments rest.
(He looks back at the ship and then sighs.)
Cabin Boy: Now we are run aground in this port, no one knows whos fault that is. Jus between you and me I was asleep in the nest when it happened Not my fault neither, they had me up there for 14 hours. Youd sleep too what with the rocking.
(Captains voice comes from behind the ship, stage right.)
Captain: Cabin Boy! Is the ship secu
As so many times before,
I find myself being used,
As a simple tool for,
Those who have been abused.
Once again tossed into the pile,
Need gone, I am useless once more,
So again dust gathersall the while,
Discarded, rusting, waiting my next chore.
WHY!? I scream into darkness,
Feeling the futile echoes bounce,
Why must it be like this,
Discarded when it most counts?
I scream at uncaring gods,
I rage at unseeing men,
Still my life follows laws,
That have always been.
Loved then left,
An abused tool of some game,
A sickening stroke, quick and deft,
A tool is broken, never the same.
My love for her is as constant and unyielding as the earth,
as deep and turbid as the sea,
as bright and fervent as the flame,
as encompassing and vital as the air,
and as pure and vibrant as the soul.
Though earth breaks,
water dries,
fires fade,
air stales,
the soul lives on,
alone amidst chaos.
The soul of love never fades, dries, breaks, or stales.
Ever it lives on within.
Living off memory and dreams.
With hope earth can reform,
water can well up or rain down,
flame can rekindle,
air can flow pure and sweet,
for the soul of love will empower things thus.
Renewal takes time but the soul is patient, pure, and kind.
As a

In a world, where having powers is less than ordinary, four heroes will rise up in it's darkest hour to face their deepest fears, desires, and kick evil in the f-ing face.
BUDGET HEROICS.
A creation of me ~TheEvilNae (https://www.deviantart.com/theevilnae) and :iconKindredFire: will begin its official weekly updating from the beginning on its own dedicated DA page on Labor Day weekend. If you would like to stay abreast (hehe, breast) of what's going on in the comic watch us (creepily if possible) over at our new dedicated page.

So it seems that once again I have neglected many things in my life. I realize it has been because I dont allow myself freedom. I surrounded myself with 'friends' who only caused me stress and distracted me from living as I love to live. Things have changed drastically in my life since my last post. I made it to a strong management position in my job at Hastings; I am truly and fully devoted to one person, one soul, one heart; I have cut all excess stress from my life and that includes a lot of people; I have a clear path and clear head for the future; and finally I can allow myself to regain my artistic vision. I hope to finally make use of
It is amazing what a week will do in your life. It seems such a short amount of time for so much to happen. First, I am enjoying my new job and doing quite well. Second, I seem to have begun to heal, there is a marked change in my emotions and my thoughts. Third might have much to do with second... I have come back in contact with someone I loved greatly, and found that nothing had changed over the years between then and now. It is utterly amazing that years can pass and only seem like emotional seconds. The renewal of Spring has renewed more than the vitality of nature, it has renewed my hope and love.
For those of you who have been keeping track of the ups and downs of my relationship with Ashley there is more. After finally realizing my mistakes and beginning to fix them, after working so hard on making myself better, after preparing my life to be flexible so I can move, it's once and for all...over. She told me she doesn't want anything beyond friendship (of course, dont they always say that?) How can you be just friends when hearing that she just spent 24 hours with a guy makes you so upset that you get a migrane? Some of you will rejoice in her decision, maybe because you think shes right and I can't change. Maybe because it means I wo
