Jesus Is My Friend

I just had to copy Justin on this one. This song(and video) is too great not to share. As I'm typing this I'm listening to it for the third time. Sooooooo great.

So yeah. I just had to spread that the little bit that I can. Wow. I love that song. I need to figure out how to rip it off the video so I can put it

on my iTunes. Or something. I dunno. It's time for bed. I'll talk at y'all laters.

BLOG!

so I'm writing this because I feel that I have to.  how weird is that?  Not that I don't like doing this.  I guess part of it is that I actually feel like I slowly making my way into the blogging community.  It's strange to me.

so anyhoo, first things first, there was a comment from someone and I don't know who and they want me to post a link.  I don't know what they want me to post a link to.  So, whoever you are, comment me again and tell me what link you want.  I'll do it if  I can.

I'm slowly building a stack of drawings.  I got sick so there where a couple days I didn't do any drawing, but I am drawing mostly every day.  I finished up another comic tonight.  I wish I had some editing software.  I could get some I suppose.  But I'm just gonna focus on getting drawing done for now.  Once I have that turned into a habit I'll look into getting something to actually finish the comics for posting.  I did figure something out this week that's been bugging me for months though.  I think you guy's will like her.  I know I like her.  She's the quiet type that just needs some friends.  YAY!

Now, I need insurance for my truck.  And I keep forgetting to call and get estimates.  HEY!  I just remembered all those websites.  Wow.  I can't believe it didn't occur to me sooner.  Of course, in my defense, I've been sick.  Alrighty, I'll go check those out here soon.

So, Life is good some what out here in the AZ.  I miss Cali and people laugh at me for it, but what ever.  I'll be back soon enough.  

And now I'm tired and must sleep.  And must shop for insurance.  BOO.  g'night ever'body!

woot!

so as I was drawing tonight, I finally figured out what she looks like.  Of course, I've forgotten her name, but that'll come to me again when I need it.  I don't think I'll post pics here though.  I don't like doing spoilers like that.  You'll just have to wait until she comes into the story.  Should be soonish though so don't worry too much.

now,I have a lot of interests with online things.  I started reading webcomics long before I even knew what a blog was.  The idea of having my own comic on the web intrigued me more than anything else I'd ever experienced.  This was forming in my head around the time I started my first blog back in the day on AOL dial up.  A few months of blogging and my idea formed in my head.  It was inspired by a plethora of webcomics and is sort of an amalgam of all of them that I was reading at the time.

I started drawing as soon as I figured out how I wanted all the characters introduced.  I always think it's fun that the initial idea sprang forth from a drawing of Tina.  Although she wasn't Tina then.  She was just the Laughing Girl.  So I started drawing but had no way to get the paper into digital format for posting online.  Oh well.  I just kept drawing.  And now we're here.  I've gone through a lot of ups and downs.  Long periods of not posting.  And thats no way to build readership.  So this next year that is my resolution.  Two comics a week.  If y'all read this blog, then I'm hoping you also read my comic and yell at me when I don't update in a timely fashion.

I'm hoping to start updating again before the year is out mainly so that I can develop a solid schedule to follow through next year.  Plus I want to see all the characters become who they're meant to be.  For those of you who've never experienced it, it's one of the most amazing things.  When you start a story, the characters do everything that you want them to do.  But as the story progresses, they turn into their own beings.  You no longer dictate what they do, but who they are dictates what happens when they're involved in certain scenarios.  Anyhoo, I've blathered enough about that.  I'll definitely be posting an announcement when the next comic page is up.

And now I'm off.  have fun every body.

wowwee

So I was about to go to bed but then I noticed that my download is nearly complete so  I decided to to stay up a bit and let it finish.  "how shall I pass that time?" The answer: BLOG!

It's been a while since I'd posted anything and I had nothing to work with coming in.  but then I noticed my two new comments.  YAY! someone loves me!

One of them said I should be the world's fattest man.  Not a goal of mine but still funny so yeah...

The other one told me to find what I do best and be famous for that.  Now that's something I can do.  I'm good at lots of things, but what do I do best?  I don't know.  It's hard to pay attention to myself when I'm actually doing stuff, and when I'm done and have time to contemplate, I usually don't know what I've done best that day.  So this might take some help from other peeps.  But I'm all down for finding this out.

On another note, I have drawing supplies now.  That means I can draw.  And that also means I can work on the comic.  And I sort of started that up again tonight.  I didn't start drawing pages for the actual comic but I worked on getting my "drawing hand" back.  I don't know when I'll be updating.  I can scan the images but I have no editing software yet and I don't know if I'll be able to get any.  I could always download GIMP again I guess.  Anyhoo, that's comic stuff.  OH!  And I'm trying to develop a drawing habit.  I need to draw every day if I'm ever going to get around to the end of the story in the comic.  So this is a call out to everyone that knows me.  Keep on my butt please.  Contact me any way you know how and ask if I'm drawing, yell at me for not drawing, etc.  This will help me out a lot.  It really will.

And now some link love.  Whittaker Woman was kind enough to send me that bit'o'help advice and kindly requested a bit'o'love.  So she is now LINKED there on the left.  Go check her out.  Cute kids abound. ;)

man oh man

I've had thoughts the last couple days about starting something and becoming famous for it.  I'm not entirely sure why but it's been happening.  Just a minor thing on my mind though.  I don't have any good ideas anyway.  Besides, most people make it big just by doing what they do.  What do I do?  I read, cook, watch you tube.  The middle one gives me options of either having a famous restaurant or having a show on Food Network.  I might have a popular comic if I ever get back to it, but that is unlikely from where I'm standing.

And now I switch to depressing thoughts of me being wishy-washy and never finishing anything.  but I'll try not to let that happen too much.  I can't change the past and the future is undetermined but the present is where I can focus and get stuff done.  So I'll just take things as they come and hopefully all the long term commitments I make I'll be able to follow through on.
