What the hell? An UPDATE???

I actually have some pictures of the hardened Duck Mania hardened clay "figures" that I uploaded to my computer. And yeah, that does include some of the new ones.(only two of them though)

You can see them in my DeviantArt account along with other non Duck Mania related hardened clay things I made and some(downright ridiculous and disturbing) art pieces.

That account can be found here.

Enjoy.

Wooooooooooooo-weeee! It's been a while, hasn't it boys and girls? No, nothing really too new, although I have made, and are in the process of making some more hardened clay figures of some more Duck Mania characters. That's right, new clay ducks are back in production!(see the Duck Mania World pics on the images page to see all, or most of the old hardened clay Duck Mania characters. However, only one wasn't made by me, and is an actual action figure, that of course being the big red alien monster from Duck Mania 1, who is actually an animorphs action figure. Sad, isn't it?) Here's a list of all the new Duck Mania "figures" I'm planning on making and eventually posting here, in the coming months:

-Duck Man version 1.0(odd that I made version 2.0 first, but whatever)

-Duck Scientist

-Cyber Duck

-Mutanat Duck 1(red with orange spots and tenticles for wings)

-Mutant Duck 2(purple with two heads, already made!)

-Shadow Duck

-Hyper Duck(a character that came from the concept sketches for Duck Mania 4, even though a 3 wasn't even made. Again, sad, isn't it?)

-Nitro Duck(no, he's got nothing to do with paintball)

Hopefully pics of these will be posted ASAP. Until then, adios, and take care of yourselves.

Good news...I passed my Chemistry class. Not with flying colors, but I passed.
Even more good news...I'm on April vacation, bitches. And I saw Kill Bill volume 2 last night. And it kicked ass. And you should go see it.

I think it's pretty obvious that at this point in time I've taken a break from doing Duck Mania related stuff for a while. Maybe I'll post some DM sketches I've had lying around for like 2 years since I now have a scanner. But not now. So I'll move onto other topics currently infesting my life...

My computer is an asshole.

Seriously, it's like the electronics world is out to get me every time my family buys a new computer. Everything seems to be fine and dandy when everyone else gets a new computer, but somewhere along the line ours always has to suddenly fuck up everything when you're least expecting it. Every computer I've had ends up being a dick in some way or another. WinZip won't let me download ROMS or ANYTHING for that matter. For some reason my real time background for AOL is "magically" gone. (you know the one that changes from daytime to nighttime depending on the time of day) I don't really care so much about that, but the fact that the real time background is no longer there is basically a sign something's not working right. Downloading cool shit like Tokyo Breakfast and Invader Zim episodes off Kazaa? Please. Apparently Kazaa no longer exists! AUGH! And my friend just let me borrow a burned CD that had like 4 episodes of that new fangled anime called "Helsing." He said it was a quote: “ sick show" and once I uploaded the disc onto my computer guess what? It didn't work! Well it kinda did...but all I was able to get was the audio, but no picture or anything to watch with the sound! HURRAY! Ya know...this is most likely the cause of a virus of some sort in my hard drive. But man, you know in the South Park movie when Bill Gates gets shot in the head? Yeah. I'd like to do that someday.

Speaking of South Park and anime, anybody see the new South Park on Wednesday? Brilliant stuff. In case you didn't, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny all buy real martial arts' weapons while their parents are off at an auction all day long. Once they get the weapons they go around town pretending they're ninja warriors, and this is done in an anime style that makes the boys of South Park look like Street Fighter characters! Awesome. I won't spoil the rest, but it's certainly a great way to kick off Season 8. Comedy Central is airing it again tomorrow night at 10, so if you gots cable I command you to watch it!
And so with that said I leave you with these words of wisdom...

"Let's fighting love!"

Unless you've been passed out since Sunday night at 6:00 pm and just woke up now, you probably already know about this. Yes the Patriots have won their second Super Bowl in three years and I couldn't be happier. In fact I'm so happy, I'm not going to school tomorrow. And neither is anyone else at my school! Of course our principal seems to think otherwise, but then she also said we had a school day 20 fucking times over the intercom the day before our first snow day. So ha.

Anyways, I found that most of the Super Bowl ads were surprisingly weak this year. The Simpsons commercial seemed more of a sell-out than a laugh, although most of the beer companies (mostly Miller Light) delivered with ones such as the "horse farting" ad and bizarre yet hilarious "Clydesdale donkey" ad. Also liked Pepsi's Jimmy Hendrix ad, but it probably cost them more to use Coke's likeness than to have the spot during the game. One thing that bothered me was the AOL high speed Internet ads. Yeah they were kinda funny("Where'd you go man?" "The Renassiance")but it was total bull shit. Since when the hell was AOL even remotely fast when it came to anything? If there's any Internet service out there that I could honestly point the finger to and say: "Yep, they suck alright," it's AOL. Ah...false advertising. Gotta love it. And besides, everybody knows Dr. Pepper is better than both Pepsi and Coke.

Happy New Year, people who actually read this shit! Yep, I'm actually posting something, but it's not worthwhile. Or maybe it is. Kinda. Aw fuck it, just read what I have to say.

I'm thinking of making an independent comic and/or manga sometime soon. Independent as in I'm not working under some sort of official publisher, not as in I'm working on it alone. So you might ask...what the hell does this have to do with Duck Mania? And I answer: "One of the ideas I had was to make a Duck Mania comic/manga. Now get the fuck off my lawn!" And if I actually end up making and finishing a Duck Mania comic/manga/something, I may even post it here! Anyways, that's it, reguarding that. I don't even know why I update this page anymore. It's not even like I'm making a Duck Mania 3 or going to C.R.C.A.P. this summer. (I'm too old, not because I don't want to go, you n00bs) Oh yeah, and 2004 is actually the 5th anniversary of Duck Mania. That's what happens when you suck at math! But once again don't expect anything special, if anything at all other than myself updating this place when I'm bored. Just thought it was cool that I thought up of Duck Mania a significant number of years ago.

Got a new monitor, so now things don't echo whenever you hear sounds on the computer.(I busted up the side speakers good after getting pissed off at it so many times. Reason for lousy performance? 200 viruses. Out the window with that piece of Windows ME shit) Also great for watching the spiffy new Family Guy DVD I got.

Anyways, I actually have some homework I need to be doing. I have no idea how to end this post so...um....That's my momma!
