idiot

Here is a sketch of a complete idiot who left best buy to train for marines and now for some reason he is coming back, I wont say hate because hate is too strong, this guy isn't hateworthy but he is a complete fucking dipshit that I really don't like working with.

A I wanna new truck

Here's the news for today. I am not in a wonderful mood, I want to get a truck bad. I want to sell my car, I am tired of driving it, I am tired of grocery shopper status, It feels like I am driving a constant reminder of my mom. Let me see, in other newsI have decided to give up any effort I was making to become Drakes father and or Nicoles boyfriend. Although she and I get along very well as friends, she does not recognize me as the catch that I am and continues going back and forth between showing affection/interest and not being sure about taking me out of the "Friend zone" as she puts it. Fuck that, I have had enough, she knows where I am at and the ball is in her blitzball court, she can pass it to tidus or wakka or even Jecht for all I care. What happened you may ask? Nothing, no event or cataclysmic falling out, The last time we saw each other was very nice and enjoyable, I am just sick of all the back and forth.
One more bit of news; my time as a non-smoker has ended again, fuck it dude, yes fuck it, that's my answer.

awesome dream, awesome reality.

Dream report, Earth date 1/20/2009; Inauguration day. I was experiencing a pleasant sleep that began about 30 minutes before the moonphase window for great sleeping closed. I should say that lately I have been really enjoying Metal Slug 7 for the DS. So there I am sleeping sound when in pops a dream. Of course I assume this will be like any other dream with milkshakes and crane birds and lions eating tubes of winco ground beef, you know just another run of the miller than I have no control over. To my suprise after selecting my character, "Marco" I am running through an entirely new Metal slug adventure. A few changes though. First Marco is for some reason colored blue, this is what i noticed first. I can't really explain it and I don't want to call it lucid dreaming because my control over the dream was limited to certain attack moves. So I am blasting through this stage, I pick up a heavy machine gun and repeat it aloud a couple times because i love the way they announce the weapons in that game. I destroy a tank, and then out of the wild blue, Marco launches a hadouken. In dream i ask, what the heck was that? I launch another one by accident and then, in Dream, I look down at a Super nintendo controller in my hand and enter the command for a hadouken and lo it works, I do it over and over, hurling balls of blue energy at snowmen, Yeti, soldiers and who ever. Then I think, hey if the hadouken is possible, maybe... I enter the command for a dragon punch and I get a MEtal slug style dragon punch, I enter the input for tatsumaki-senpu-kyaku (Which is pronounced "Ackwistic-yooken") and Marco goes whirling across the screen, I would like to mention that this moves was the hardest to find useful in the game. Anyway it was cool to play some games in my sleep, I hope everyone has a good inauguration day. Heres an awesome video of how kick ass Obama is.

BEEF

I heard some funny things today at art school. My art and ideas teacher brought up that painting done by an elephant. I wondered if the animal could actually paint by itself, did it use many colors? Did it clean its brush ever? where did it buy its canvas? All of these things ran through my head and then someone posed the question of whether or not a dog could do a painting and I thought, Dogs can skateboard and surf and listen to music and possibly appreciate more than me because of their superior hearing. The elelphant had no idea what it was doing it was just following orders. Anyway I am beefing up again, Michael Cavanaugh may remember a push up/sit up routine that was used in 2006 up here in the north. Well I like to think i have improved on that by adding 3-4 minutes of jump rope every morning, I just do my workout and I can eat all the Taco Bell I want!

PERSONAL PAINTING

Here is a three day painting I just felt like starting one day. This is a panel from Darwyn Cookes, "The Spirit" I really like his style and Dave Stewart is an amazing colorist that I have absolutely nothing on. I was flipping through the book and found this panel. I thought it was interesting because without the context of the story you really don't know who is asking, "What am I doing?", This painting holds a little personal meaning for me as well, I'll just say it's sort of a reminder for me to keep on my toes. Having already given credit to the actual creators I will say that this is the first painting of mine that I am somewhat happy with.

JOhns X-mas present.

Here is a sneak peak for John of his requested Cowboy lassoing a comet drawing. This is not a scan and is a pretty poor photo but it's here I will scan it before shipping off to Chico.

just some photos from the park

Had a good day today.

Yeah today was pretty sweet actually. I have a good feeling about my 24th year. I have been jumping rope for a few minutes to start each morning and that's usually around 8:30-9. I played some Metal slug 7 with my new headphones and wondered if i should upgrade the headphones for 30 dollars more. I spent a few hours drawing at my desk, I have been working on a gift for John which he had requisitioned months earlier. I told him it would be ready by Christmas and it is now finished. I wanted to be happy with it and I am now pleased enough by it to let someone else have it. So I call Grant to see if he would like to eat lunch, he said sure, but he was at the funny doctors place in tigard getting his should examined. So we meet up and have large burrito from only good burrito place here in Portland. He goes about his day and so do i. I decided that my new headphones sound good and did not need upgrading. I came home and drew for a few hours more. Watched some Seinfeld and then I recorded some guitar. I am going to make an album, I have eight songs in the bank but not the good bank, it's the bank that hold my money until it's clean enough to go into the Good bank. I really have covered some good ground over the break though, I have plenty to work with, which i think is the hardest part. And now my attention is broken by my stomach telling me something needs to be done about all this meat in here.

Yoga

I was visiting with my friend Athena and through chit chat, yoga came up. She and I listened to some ambient music and she instructed me through a series of poses and stretches followed by a back rubb. I take back anything negative I ever told Yoga, I felt amazing afterward and the information about your body that you learn can be carried through the day and used to Chill with! I love the yoga.

Guitar picts

Those were some photos of my new guitar and a framed photo of Steve Deadmond and I Marlin fishing in Mexico.

Well.

WEll, tonight marks the first evening that I was apparently such an asshole to some girl at a party that i made her retreat to her room. I swear to God I was just talking to her like anyone else. She was drawing a picture of what looked like either a turd or maybe Jabba, standing up and fucking some hot chick, and the chick was holding something in her hand and I was interested and said, "Wait a second what is that girl holding in her hand? Is that a baby with sagging Boobs? This girl was like 19 and really embarrassed by what I had said I guess, got up and said, "GOD!!" I was told by her roommates that she is pretty sensitive and that this happens a lot.
