I had a bit of a harrowing self-realization this weekend. It's time to decide if this attempt to be a professional artist is going to flop or fly. I am going to publicly record my agenda/tentative schedule/motivational itinerary. If I don't hold up my end of the bargain, the only person I have to blame is myself. It's time to stop allowing lack of action...

I really like the reasons for this card. This one is going to look awesome when finished, Love.

It was awesome when we were together cause it'd always make me laugh and then we'd go at it, but now that we're not together it's not so awesome. I wish he'd just dump her if he's so unhappy with her.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with my last blog entry. Really, I was vicariously responding to this by-line I'd seen - something about the evils of the 'bi-coastal elite" - in an article I'd seen on a politically conservative blog while I was doing a little research to settle a debate about handguns and concealed carry laws. I didn't mean to give anyone the...

city of heroes/villians has the best character maker ever. In fact, i'd say it was too good, since I actually spent twice as much time creating characters as I did playing the games. I sincerely hope you can get over that block and show them your mad skills, hehe. It would be an amazing opportunity and I'm sure you're deserving of it.
I have had the biggest creative block of my life for the past few years. And I mean it, I am no where near as creative as I once was. I used to write poetry, and stories, and essays, and songs, and play guitar, and draw, and..... ya know. Jack of all trades, master of none, but I enjoyed them all immensely. I would love to get back that urge, but i just dont feel it like I used to. I dont feel like I have much to say that hasn't already been said, or do that hasnt been done.
And after reading your last post, I can say that you have actually brought up a point that I hadn't considered, at least not the way you put it. There isnt anything wrong with people wanting the best from themselves or for themselves. I've never really considered myself an elitist in any way, but I don't think I strive for or am even generally "ok" with mediocrity. I just kind of got myself into a rut, and feel a sick sense of loathing for those who seem to have found their path, and set their goals. heh. It's jealousy, I know. But that's not the typical type of elitism that I encounter. I'm really not a fan of those who are so into what they are into that they are completely unaccepting of anyhthing even remotely different. That they've completely closed their minds to the prospect of something new. Selling video games, i encounter a lot of people who would be labeled elitists(most label themselves that way) and they usually also classify as fanboys/girls. The xbox360/ps3 rivalry is pretty funny. It's like mac and PCs. Only not as thieving. hehe. I just think that in order to really know what's better, you should weigh all the options, not just what brand it is, or what company makes it.
sorry for the uber long post. I'm a bit stoned.

You're in the Straight Edge group? Are you suddenly giving up your affair with Jager n Jack?

Today, I read a person referring to another person as an "elitist". It's a label I get stuck with a lot. People sometimes think I have unfair expectations of the people around me. I don't think that's true at all. My expectations may be high, but I don't want anything out of anyone else that I don't first want out of myself. I don't understand...

I'm happy being mediocre, but then, I'm retarded
naima:
I think we all have our mediocre moments.
Well, unfortunately, due to a computer error, I'm not going to be able to finish my drawing, apparently. It's been somewhat discouraging. Tomorrow we'll see what we can do to get back on track.
Night!
Night!
This is a piece I'm going to be working on the next few days as part of a portfolio I'm putting together to shop around here in the valley. I want to someday become a tattoo artist, but working as a concept art guy at one of the local studios to pay bills until then isn't that bad a gig. Anyhow, here's the base lineart,...

That's pretty cool. I'm assuming it's like a huge back piece or something...

Finally got around to finishing up the flash commission for a friend.

Enjoy, and I hope someone is going down on you right this second.

that is amazing, did you do that?

that's awesome!
Well, I've thought it over, and not to be too much of a flake, but I'm going to keep on trucking. I said some things yesterday, here and elsewhere, that raised a few eyebrows. Heated words were exchanged. "You're a fuckhead!" "No, you're a fuckhead!" And as usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
So, I've resolved myself to be a little less judgmental...

We broke up cause he left for Afghanistan and didn't want me to sit back and wait for him. He said he didn't want to put me through that.... especially since I was just coming out of my divorce when I'd started dating him.
I don't think I'm going to be blogging for a while. Some things that people have said to me recently have made me question whether or not people are really that interested in hearing what I have to say to begin with, and if what I have to say is really worth saying at all. I apparently hurt peoples' feelings, here and on another forum...

Awwww, I'm going to miss your blogs. I've enjoyed them.
This is a nice blog. But everything I want to say sounds cheesy. So I'll just advise you to get cracking on that bible.
I will not be afraid of making bad art.
