Okay, so! Last weekend, on Saturday, to be exact, I was at the Puerto Rico Comic-Con! So, there, I met two new friends and a bunch others who haven't really messaged me yet, so they won't be mentioned. The two are Mattie and Hareed. Mattie is a girl with extremely amazing eyes, brilliant ones, who's a bigger gamer than Nivek, my best friend, and that's saying something. Hareed, I think that's how his name is spelled, is a pretty cool guy who tagged along with me during the whole Comic-Con. Anyway, here's the thing. There where many booths there about comics and the like, so I, who wants to make a comic, spoke to a bunch of them, don't really remember their names, but they were quite... Interesting conversations. Among them, and this is big news and I mean BIG NEWS, I talked to a man that's a writer with a bunch of drawing dudes under his command. He also gave me his number and told me to give him a ring sometime next month! Then he said something about sitting and seeing what we could do or something similar. Anyway, in preparation for the inevitable talk with aforementioned writer, I'm currently finding a way to create a kind of draft. BUT! That's not the end of hope, for I have a proposition for you all. If you share my blog, I'll post a story, chapter by chapter, here. That's my word, and I always go along with my word.
My Regards,
Ell J. Converse
P.S.
I'll have a bunch of pics from the Comic-Con on a post. Take care of yourself.

Bullied?
Ever since I was little, I was always getting into fights against guys who treated others like they were nothing. I really didn't do much, to be honest, but I stood up against bullies, even teachers (Not that I got into fights with them, mind you.) To give support to the bullied, to connect with other bullied people around the world and to share their thoughts and stories, I made a group on FB called Bullied? with the interrogation point. We're just starting there, but we've already got 54 members, myself included.
On other news, my blog has been seen by, up at present, 436 people. It's been seen by 184 people living in Puerto Rico, 178 people living in the US, 28 people living in the UK, 26 people living in Russia, 5 people living in Germany, 2 people living in Canada, 2 living in France, 2 Living in Mexico, 2 living in the Philippines and 1 living in Dominica, according to the Blog's Views, which isn't all that reliable. But even with it's unreliability, I'm extremely happy that A Lot of Random Things has actually reached from my tiny little brain into the minds of so many different people, culture and countries, even if it was just for a few minutes. To those who don't know, I've got a twitter, a Facebook and an E-Mail, which I'll add as links at the bottom. Thanks for your support and patience.

Dark Shadows
So, I went to watch Dark Shadows and, well, I have about the whole movie-worth of issues with it. The only good thing about the movie is Johnny Deep, Tim Burton and his wife (Who I have never been able to spell the name right.) Now, here's the many things wrong with the movie:
First, No Story: It's like a bunch of clips of the same characters but not really related, since most of the movie was Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Deep, having some kind of physical connection with some lady character. Second, not enough main girl: She appears at the start, in a montage and at about three other scenes in the last half of the movie, each apparition wasn't worth it and gave nothing new to the story. Three, too much sex-related stuff: No, seriously, too much. A bunch of scenes were Johnny Deep doing stuff with one of the female characters. Fourth, COMPLETE UTTER RANDOMNESS: Really, both main characters end up as vampires, Barnabas' girl descendant turns out to be a werewolf, her brother is a spirit medium, his dead mother is actually a banshee, his dad disappears, Tim Burton's wife (Who's name always gave me trouble for spelling) died and was sent to the bottom of the sea (But she didn't really die) and a group of hippies die. See? Random.
I'm saying this one straight: Dark Shadows is NOT worth your time nor money. It sucks, the only moments it made me laugh was because other people had contagious laughter and, honestly, it falls short of what a Tim Burton movie should really be. I'm sad and disappointed at his lack of style and effort to make this movie better, which it could have been. Actually, this movie couldn't have been much worst. If you go see it, do so at your own peril.
My Regards and Best Wishes,
Ell J. Converse

Untitled
I owe you guys an apology for not adding this later, but here's my latest post. First, I'm going to share my thoughts about a movie I saw a while back. I've always had a special love for fairy tales and the like, but most of the human-acted versions of them fall short of my expectations. So, thinking I wasn't going to like it all that much, I went to see Mirror Mirror and it proved there's still hope for fairy tales. It was lovely, colorful and filled with a brilliant cast. The main characters acted their parts excellently and, even though I watched it in Spanish (since I watched it with my mum, who doesn't know all that much English) It made me laugh like crazy. Mirror Mirror is definitely a movie worthy of being watched and, in my own opinion, it gave me hope for future fairy tales.
Next, about a week or so ago, I watched a movie that left me longing for more and not necessarily in a good way. See, I went to watch The Avengers and, even though it was good, I felt like it could've been better. Because it had no character development, because *SPOILER* one of the heroes was brainwashed for most of the movie and because, honestly, the longest parts of the movie were the heroes fighting among themselves or, at the final quarter or so, *SPOILER* fighting the invading alien armies that, well, were alien.
Okay, now, I need you guys to listen carefully. Or, read... ANYWAY, I'm on DeviantART. Yes, DeviantART, but not as a drawer, but as a writer. You see, I've been writing for a long time and, finally, I found out I could post my stories there. So, here's a link to Chapter 1: The Swarm! Hope you read, like and share it!

Justice & Injustice
Lately I've been stuck, not really knowing what to write about. Keeping a blog is hard work, specially when you've got three cats and a dog to take care of, one of the cats, Death, is very sick and there's nothing I can't do to help but hope he gets better soon. Among other things, I decided what to write about: Injustice. In an instant, the greatest man can become the biggest Tyrant with only one bad judgement, a hero can become a villain with relative ease, and it's all because they judge those around him.
Every one always thinks those around them are unjust, but, I'm always wondering why's that. Well, I know the answer every time I ask it: They aren't being treated how they think they should be. Most times someone calls something unjust, it's not because it really is, it's because it's not what they want it to be, or, like an old Puertorican saying goes: 'The thief will judge depending on his condition.' The saying, for those who don't get what it means, says that if there's a criminal, he'll always think he's being just, because he 'needs' it or because he's the one doing it, but let's put that to the test.
If I stole something from someone, and they found out, they'll get their revenge instantly, mostly by making me suffer much more than I should deserve for it. But, if the roles were reversed, they'd want mercy or, if they're guys, who do this more often than girls, they'll make sure I don't make them suffer by making ME suffer. That is, unfortunately, human nature.
I know it's hard, since it's also hard for me to do so, but if we would be a bit nicer to those around us, no matter what is happening, it'll really change the way justice is dealt, since it'll be dealt more accurately. Trust me on this: Justice isn't something that should be dealt on a whim. It's only for those who have the power, AND wisdom, to carry it out correctly. Be nice, stay safe and don't be unfair, and then you'll be sure to be treated with the proper justice you deserve.
