Poker night. What a fucking disaster.

I pull up two pair 10, Q, Ace kicker. Guy pulls up pocket 6's and a 6 on the river. HE FUCKING STAYS IN WITH A DAMN PAIR OF 6's with NOTHING LOWER THAN AN 8 SHOWING, and gets it on the RIVER. DAMN.

I got a full house J, 6. Guy gets full house J, 8.

I get...

Next time I plan to give a lot more notice when I do an open invite to coffee...like at least a few days.

As for the art night thing...I can't draw worth a damn and am too bashful for posing, so I'll leave that to Debra who is both an artist and has modelled for such things before. smile
cereal_killer:
man, sounds like one shitty poker night to me. i'm still trying to get some of the people i know down here together to have one, but things keep coming up and preventing it.

Artistic funks suck. The worst place to be is with an open piece of paper and no inspiration. (I guess that describes a lot of lives, doesn't it?)

I am actively searching for a location to have a montly SG drawing group here in Atlanta. Anyone know of a space, please let me know. In the meanwhile, I'm using my contacts to try to fish...

Oh no, the peanuts are going down the shorts . . . for safety!

I've met 3J IRL before, and reccomend the experience highly. He's interesting, and he'll buy you dinner. smile

Artistic funks are no fun. For me, doing really physical stuff usually cracks the creative ice; I run hill sprints or do karate or something.

A monthly drawing group would be so much fun! Is ATL the kind of city where you could draw in the parks?
cklarock:
You are the guy on the right? Damn, you're skinny!

What if you built up a drawing of a model, and then cartooned all over her?

Met my first SG folk tonight, katfireblade and wyspurr. And they met me. Neither of them, nor I had any fangs, though I did appear suspiciously like a normal person, I think. They gave me some advice.

a) Be more fucking assertive.
b) Don't come across so fucking nervous online.
c) Be more fucking assertive.

Maybe I missed a point here or there, but...

hey man. just dropping by to say hi. I live out in snellville so if you ever want to grab a beer.....hmmm the DNC makes you sad? Why?
cklarock:
Ah, unfortunately, I only have a very limited supply of super adorable pictures of little kids in front of abstract paintings.

Tree frog commandos? Hell, I've got those for days.

Hey. Long time no update... what? a bbit over 20 days.

Not much to write, watching time go by.

Watched "Raising Helen" last night. Just another forgettable movie that proves once again how out of touch Hollywood is with reality. Making a comedy out of three orphans and a bad situation? What a great drama it could have been. A total bummer for everyone.

Neverland....

Do you know anyone that can play a banjo??
thelastbeliever:
Yeah it looks kinda tough. Never even picked one up myself. I just play the usual shit as you may have guessed. Guitar amongst other things.

I'll put it to the guys. It looks like this might turn out to be the biggest Uber band in the world. biggrin

I needed to do something new. So I got a banjo. And learnt it.

Gad, I love to play the banjo. Now, listening to bluegrass, sometimes that's tough.

Then there's Bad Livers. Found them on iMusic. Hogs on the Highway, Delusions of Banjeur. These boys don't take themselves all that seriously.

Everyone needs a banjo.

"Open-minded people. Liars."

What does this mean to you? How do you read it first time you see it?

How many kings and queens of superficiality do there have to be? An inch f***ing deep and a mile wide seems to be the norm, not the exception. People standing around saying "Woe to me, no one understands, I'm a nice guy/girl." So what? Nice guys...

I decorated my Children's Hospital ID badge last night with Sponge Bob and Dora the Explorer stickers. My wife thought I'd slipped one step closer towards publicly recongnizable lunacy. My 4 year old found my badge later and brought it to me to show me all the awesome stickers. You gotta know your audience.

I figured out how to take care of stealing chocolate from...

I stole chocolate from my 4 year old this morning.

I hate it when I do that. It gets on my conscience (I hate spelling that word, and some others that I can't spell no matter how many times I look them up) and I have to go buy the kid more. I didn't take ALL of it. Only a little.

I keep writing in...

Yeah, I graduated from phs. The traffic on Cole at 7am is certainly something I don't miss one bit!
cklarock:
Definately get in touch when you're up this way!

And while you may have had the Three Musketeers on your favorites list before I did, I am sure that I love the book with a deeper and more profound love.

Diego Velazquez is my favorite painter, and his portrait of Innocent X is what I always imagine when I think of Cardinal Richelu:

I lost all my system disks. Misplaced them, and freakin' QuarkXpress 6.5 has f***ed up my system. Can't even make a simple PDF. Angry, I kicked over a 96 CD Turntable Holder, which freaked my parrot, who took the occasion to crap all over my floor and spent the next five minutes going "WHEW!!!"

I did a bad thing. I got a picture of a...

I really like the contrast in the colors and the depths he uses. It all seems really different and I am into stuff like that.


ok, that sounded really stupid, which I'm not, but I guess no one had ever really asked me that before.

I'm the guy all the girls' moms wanted their daughters to date... and the guy none of the girls wanted to be anything more than friends with. Damaged, alone... NOT. Their loss, my gain. I had TERRIBLE taste back then.

Why did I sign up here? Simple. I'm a successful artist and sometimes I could use a model. That, and I'm very outgoing and friendly,...

That is strange. At least Atlanta is cool enough to move to. I left Cali and Macon is terrible. Artist? What type? I, like everyone else, am a wanna-be photographer.
