herman who?

a few years ago, i was a nursing a broken heart. i was going out with this girl, m, who was the girl of my dreams, but i managed to fuck it up (literally...but that's another story for another day). so i decided that i would win her heart back by doing something nice.

i learned how to use Macromedia Flash, and made a 4 minute long animated cartoon video with the song "why does my heart feel so bad" by moby in the background. for the uninitiated, making a flash video is damn hard work. i had to draw each character frame by frame...make them move frame by frame...time the music to each scene...it took me 3 freaking weeks to finish (which is why i have always admired cartoon artists / films ever since...speaking of which, go and watch "madagascar"...it's good for singaporeans). anyway, back to the story...by then, m basically didn't want to see me already. so it took another 3 months for me to burn the soppy video out into a cd, call her out and give her the cd...and as fate would have it, she promtly told me that it was nice, but her new boyfriend didn't think much of it.

herman melville was moby's great great great granduncle, which is why he chose the name "moby". herman melville had a very big ego, which is why he wrote the book "moby dick". sky is a very emotional guy who likes to write, which is why he chose "herman mobydicksky melville".
