Nice work, bud.

A few months ago I drew the favoritest dragon I ever drewed.

Cool tricks for artist's block...

1) Tell it to shove off, you're not interested.
2) Do it anyway.
3) If it's not working, throw it out and don't waste your time.
4) Read a book or go outside.
5) Draw something quick for someone while they're watching.
6) Draw something you're looking at as fast as you can.
7) Use colors you hate.
8) Draw things wrong on purpose.
9) Draw something you've never ever tried to draw before.

I've used all of these. #2 is weakest, #4 can be an excuse, #1 only works sometime, but will work best if you tell yourself you're the best damn artist in the fucking state, and what the hell will the general public think if you can't put out one stupid, lousy picture... and that even when you do it's lightyears ahead of that hack Hopper.

The others work depending on how you feel. These are all off the top of my head, but, like I've said, I've used. Even had success with it. (I used #3 along with telling myself the artist wannabeees have NOTHING on me.)

I asked myself, "What does a dragon full of piss & fire do when they're not out ripping and shredding the countryside? They stay at home doing stuff dragons don't want to be seen doing, lest it wreck their reputation." I can't imagine everything in a dragon's life is as exciting as gobbling up princesses and fighting knights.

Draw other people's ideas? What's the fun of THAT?

Guess that's just how it be, man.

Like I can't avoid writing about junkies, alkies, petty crooks and date rapists.

Wait.

That's not a good thing, is it?

Sucks to hear about Tivo failing you. Maybe it was rooting for Mexico and couldn't stand to see the loss?

In all seriousness, I just decided to become a Christian again. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to just keep that info to myself.

This is SWEEEETTT. Couple it with THIS and massive mansions are in your celestial future.

Safeguard Yourself... be warned

Oh, ok. But do I have to dip them in nacho cheese, or can I eat that separately?

Nice! Are you guys eating enough? The pic makes you two look a little skinny.

PS
I'm glad I cut it. It was not my intention to resemble the devil. But when I get mad, occasionally horns will pop out. I'm trying to get that under control. It seems to scare people. I had a tail for a while but it fell off because I played with it too much.

Long time no type homie, love the new profile pic!

Wanted to tell you I kept some of the scratch stuff you had posted, saved on my mp3 player and was rockin' out to it at work the other day. Tis good shit man! Love that video, my girl shared it with me just the other day. Coincidence? I think not!

You old fart.

You made me laugh. Thank you.

So dude how were the holidays?

The cd I slipped, was it any good?

I've also got a wishlist ya know

And for old time sake, a sexy pose I inaverdetly rediscovered amidst my old entries

I thought you so... you stopped updating your page

Ya, thanks man.
It's pretty crazy huh??? I don't get it either. It's all I can do to just be thankful for what we have. And believe me...we are!!!

Your latest journal is pretty funny. I gotta print it out and let my little miss lovely read it. I think she'll get a kick out of it.

Thanks for keeping in touch bro. I'm not on here that much anymore, but still like to check in every once in a while and check things out. It's nice to see you comments
tell Em hey for us.

I hope to update my jounal soon. Hopefully it will be a decent one this time...whenever I get to it. Still have the inlaws here. Had to sneek in and check e-mail

Peace

So, are you saying the UK leg of the trip wasn't the highlight?

Did London make you feel like headbutting someone? It seems to be going around...

Hope you are having a raucous good time anyhow!

What really gets me is that I know I could have improved your London experience if only the gods hadn't conspired against us yesterday. Goddamn!
(It was so fun!)

Berlin ist wundabar! Especially since Germany is still in it right now. Yeah, England was a big let down. I know they were tired from all the OT but still, I could've made better penalty kicks, it just bugged the crap out of me to watch. The Portugal players were fakin' the ball like crazy while the Englanders were practically kicking the ball right at the goalie almost every time. Woof! I think Portugal, unless France scores quick and holds on like they did against Brazil, will win again as well.
