About Bunnies


When Nadya asked me to draw a picture of an evil bunny, it got me thinking. I knew one day I would have to dig deep within myself and overcome my morbid sexual fear of them. With that in mind I accepted the challenge. I sat in dark rooms, dark corners, and dark closets just waiting. Suddenly, there he was. That little bastard showed his face just long enough for me to get a good look..... and back into the shadows of the night. And here he is. I feel a little more comfortable around bunnies now, but still can't help but cover my privates -just in case.

Blindness

Meisha and I just watch this movie last night. It really got me thinking a lot. I've never seen an epidemic movie done quite this way. It explores a lot of the types of theories and ideas found in Lord of the Flies. I found myself enjoying the hell out of it, yet hating it and being disgusted all at the same time. It made me think about order, and how we as a human race need it. It made me really start to wonder about "true" human nature and what that meant. It made me wonder what I would be like and who I would be like in the movie had I been thrown into such a situation. Would I be a leader? Would I be a follower? Would I be an asshole? Would I have died.... or killed myself? I love movies that lead to more questions and inspire independent thought.

This is one of them.

A boring rainy day at work combined with a lack of willingness to move due to a sore back caused this picture to come into creation. It's me(if you couldn't tell). I feel funny drawing myself. You'd think I should know the look of my face better than anyone seeing as how I see it in the mirror everyday, but it's quite weird trying to think about how I look while drawing. By the way, Sleeping with Ghosts makes a good soundtrack to a good drawing session.

That's probably it for today.

My New Life

  • Zip jacket up.
  • Backpack on.
  • Headphones in.
  • Crank Things Falling Apart and grin.
  • Glove one, glove two and feel the leather wrap around the handle bars.
  • Feet to pedals and I'm off.
  • I instantly feel the rain hit my checks and begin to run down.
  • As The Great Collapse gets going, I pedal harder and realize I'm passing all the cars.
  • Enter parking lot.
  • Weaving through pillars coming within inches.
  • Peppers of red and green, onion, cheese, ranch and drinks.
  • Jamming as I walk through the aisles, flashing strange people with my even stranger smile.
  • Food to backpack.
  • Glove one, glove two.
  • Enter the pillar slalom. Even faster this time.
  • Skidding around the corner and down the road.
  • Thighs burn.
  • Pushing harder through the rain.
  • Pushing harder through the pain.
  • And home.
  • This is my new life.
  • And I love it.

Me? A Web Designer?

So I just officially finished a web page for my first real paying customer. I guess that makes me a web designer, maybe? I've got a few more customers already lined up, so hopefully there will be many more to come. I've got to think of a company name so I can make my own page for a portfolio as well. So far I'm stuck on Onetool Design. I'm not sure if I like it, I'm not sure if I don't . Your suggestions are very welcome. So yeah, click on the link below and check the site out. Don't blame me if you don't like the pictures, I just went with what the customer wanted. Have fun. Thanks for looking. C-ya.

I'm a doodler


I doodle constantly. All day. It helps me stay focused. Weird, I guess, that drawing keeps me focused on what someone is saying as opposed to actually looking at the person or whatever it is that other people do to focus. Either way, I usually just chuck the doodles, never to be seen by a soul other than myself. Seems kind of pointless. Kind of. I guess it helps me listen and therefore serves a purpose. I had a particular amount of fun drawing this one in sales training earlier today. I happened to look at it just barely and said to myself:

"Hey! I have a blog. Why don't I just throw this little doodle of mine on my blog? "

After that, I said to myself: "You're right. Put it on there. You need something to do to occupy your mind for a minute anyways."

So now I have a doodle on my blog. There it is. Have a good day. Be happy. I'm sure as hell trying. May my Maxima R.I.P.

I didn't get it


So I was super excited to watch this movie last night. Previews looked bad ass. Plus I pretty much love anything that Tarantino is involved in. Quite frankly, I just didn't get it. Some really cool scenes, cool visuals and the violence was quite neat-o. It just really didn't come together for me in the end. Maybe I needed to be under the influence of something other than a greasy In-N-Out burger and the large plate of veggies I ate to combat said burger. Maybe I'll watch it again some time and it will all make sense.

That's all for now.
