ROUND 1!

Cleared zones and full car. Progress is being made. Not as much as I was hoping for though. :(

Pic limit of 5

this all has to get into PACKED MODE.

PACKING AND MOVING!

It sucks but it needs to get done. a friend suggested a picture dump. so here it is.





This is my car that needs to be cleaned out so that I can put stuff in it :(

DAAAAAANNNNNNNG

I completely forgot about this thing. Soooo much going on in my head.

I'm moving in a week. Trying to write out the story for my comic. Working. Dealing with my plethora of issues. Good times.

I got a new CD and I'm playing the CRAP out of it. Well.....the CD is new to me. Owl City: Ocean Eyes. WOOOOOO! I ripped it to my comp so now I listen to it at home and in my car ALL THE TIME. Love it.

So yeah. That's the past week basically. My hands are healing nicely. A&D Ointment is very helpful in that department. Keeps the tissue from drying out and cracking, thus keeping it from getting injured further. WOO for being smart!

And now I should go to bed and sleep so that I can get up in the morning and finish getting my new place ready. YAY!

Me and and ax VS a tree

The tree won the first round, but I'm not giving up. I'll be back for round two in a couple days. And this time......I've got GLOVES!

Why did I feel compelled to show this picture? Because I'm PROUD of these wounds. Hard work is GOOD for a man. And I felt really good, even though I wasn't really successful. Though we did get about a third of the way through the tree. Not too shabby.

I'm looking forward to my new place that I'm moving to. There's a lot of work there that needs to be done, and I'm gonna do a lot of it. It'll be good for me. Screens to install, carpet to replace, gardens to plant, plumbing to fix, etc. It'll be good times. I'll share my war stories here probably. :D

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

That poem is by Robert Frost. It's my favorite poem. Probably because of the memories attached to it.

I first learned about Robert Frost in my junior year of high school. My English teacher that year was amazing and taught me that thinking differently was a good thing that should be embraced. He encouraged my art and always REMINDED me to take off my hat. He never told me to do that. He had a joy for life that I haven't seen in anyone else ever again. He was truly the only reason I get a little sad when ever I think about my time in Idaho. I miss him and wish I could have spent more time with him. But on that same token, I'm IMMENSELY grateful for the time I did get to spend with him.

I think it's time that I memorized this poem again.

daaaaang

so I missed two days. Oh well.

It's currently 2:30 AM and I'm sitting here eating ramen and eggs because I'm starving. And I'm also exhausted. Good times.

I have a lot starting up in my head currently. Working on the comic is the only thing that has ACTUALLY started, but my brain is where I do most of my living, so stuff in my head weighs pretty heavy on me. But since the comic is the only thing happening, let's talk about that.

I've determined (again) that I really need to invest in a tablet for my computer. It would not only save a lot of time, but my scanner doesn't work with my new computer anyway. So I'm currently saving up for that. (yes I'm ACTUALLY saving money)

Second, I've got a little drawing project I'm working on that should get my chops back up to where they were when I stopped updating the comic. It's still not gonna be amazing quality, but it won't be terrible either. This is gonna be a long project, so it'll be a while before it's complete.

In other news, I'M MOVING AGAIN! I'll be closer to work, and that will save me LOADS of money on gas. The money I save might go towards getting internet access, but at least I'll still be breaking even right? And I'll be closer to everything else in my life, so that'll be good. Should be happening by the end of the month. WOOT!

wowowowowowow

I started doing some work on Jodee today. Turns out that I don't really like to draw Jodee. but I like to have here there. So.....yeah. Make of that what you will.

I should get back to doing some more work on her. But I needed to type some stuff here since I'm trying that whole "post every day" thing.

I had the day off today and it was a weird one. I basically sat at my desk all day. I've been on the verge of cabin fever most of the day, but haven't actually crossed that line. I feel like I should be going crazy, but I'm not. That's one of the main things that made this day weird.

So with that I go back to listening to music and drawing. Toodles.

FEEL the BUUUUUUURRRRRRRNNNNN

Is it weird that it's only been three days and I already feel a bit burnt out with posting here? I dunno. Probably not, since I'm not really used to it. But I figure this is really good practice. If I can get used to just making myself write SOMETHING every day, then getting the comic pumped out should be easier in the long run, right? Right?

I dunno.

I feel like I'm just avoiding drawing right now. That's a bad thing. Drawing is just as important, if not MORE SO, than writing right now. So I'm gonna go draw something. Probably not as intense as I did last night, but it'll still be something. So I'm off.

I should be getting something set up soon so that I can start posting my drawings again. I'll keep you updated. :D

Two Mountain Dews, Paper, and a Pen

Man I needed to be asleep four hours ago. Oh well. I'm getting some drawing done. Basic prelims. Getting back into it. Figuring out my shapes and whatnot. I have the basic shapes for the girls down again. It took some doing, but I got it. I figure I'll go back to drawing and skip sleep tonight. I have to get up in two hours anyway.

Just read something that we should all keep in mind. Not sure if I agree with EVERYTHING there, but it's still worth reading. It has a lot of good points. The main ones being: Live in the now, Stop caring about the opinions of others, and take care of yourself.

I downloaded Firefox 4 tonight. Using it right now to type this out. I think I like it. I definitely like the bigger window. The toolbars take up less space so there's more room to show the content. It might very well become my default browser soon.

Okay the interenets are distracting me too much. I gotta close this window. So I'll be back soon. I'm planning on posting everyday for the month of May. Let's see if that actually happens :D
