Today is my 10th wedding anniversary!
WOO!
I honestly couldn’t have picked a better person to be my partner. She’s made me a more complete person then I could have ever imagined.
Here’s to many more years!
^_^
So I found this the other day when checking my stuff on Deviant Art. “What a wonderful idea” I thought. Not only is it a great way to reflect on what inspires you to draw, but it also allows other to get to know the artist a bit better. It was fun to look at who I am and what I draw from as an artist.
I find that I don’t really inspire from shows, movies or music as such but more from other artists and ideas. I feel divided as I love video games and design (pixel art and all) on one side with sex and naughty cartoons on the other. I do have a love for taking photos, but I lack the time and nice camera to fully go in to that. When I do have the opportunity though, I very much enjoy it.
The map was done buy Fox-Orian and you can see his here and download a PSD of the map here if you’re interested in doing one yourself. ^_^
We’ve all done it. At one point or another we’ve had to play tech support for a family member and their computer. For me, it’s my Dad and Step Mom. I do my best to walk them though any problems they might have over the phone, and when we visit I play doctor with the PC or answer more questions.
What I never thought about though is how it must be on their end. Having this computer or laptop that they never seem to quite understand so they have to constantly ask questions. It’s great when you “get” what your working on and can solve your own issues. But if you don’t… it must be frustrating. I have a feeling that I’ll always be their tech support and that’s fine with me. Things are more difficult now that they’re on Vista and I’m still on XP. I must admit that I do feel bad when I can’t solve their problems. Having a computer should be fun, easy and relatively pain free. But if theirs noting but trouble… it totally makes things not fun.
Are you tech support for any of your family?
So I took a wander over to the Condition: Zero Hour fur con on the weekend. I must admit though that I didn’t actually check out any of the festivities. I mostly went to visit with artists I haven’t seen in years. I spent the Saturday evening with Max Black Rabbit, DC Rabbit and Mabs (along with others who’s names escape me… sorry *^_^*). It was lots of fun as we caught up with what we’ve been doing, playing games and drawing (actually… the others drew while I talked and played games). It was wonderful company all around.
Did anyone make to the con insides? What was the over all feel of the con? Any one sit in artist alley or dealer room? I think I’ll try and prep some new stuff next year and sell it… maybe in the dealer room… we’ll see.
Anyway… gNAW… you suck. If you where there we could have had good throw down with Super Street Fighter 4. Max and I played lots and it went back and forth pretty evenly… well… I think he won more over all. But he still has to eat a “D” grade on tech in that one match we had. Yeah that’s right… I said it. So next year gNAW… I’ll be waiting but not practicing since I don’t have a 360.
So the other day I discovered two new snacks. Cherry Crush and Cheese Burger Doritos. I’m not sure if these flavors are out in other parts of the globe, if not… then sorry about the tease.
Wife came home with the All Nighter Cheese Burger Doritos one day and we cracked open the bag to find that… these taste exactly like Dairy Queen cheese burgers. Seriously, no joke. Exactly like a DQ burger! Right down to the pickle and mustard. It totally blew my mind and I think they’re my favorite chip now. You can’t have too many though as it kind of feels like you’ve been woofing down a pile of burgers.
The Cherry Crush I found when I was out visiting my Bro-in-Law. As soon as I saw it, I totally snatched up a case. See, I just about anything cherry. Heck, just this week I made an almond and cherry loaf of bread. Mmmmm… So yeah, when I was able to crack one open, after the kids went to bed, I found I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t like the Black Cherry of the old Pop Shoppe drinks. It had more of a cherry pie filling sort of flavor to it. Which I didn’t mind a bit, but I could see it being too much for others.
So if you’re out in stores and you see any of these products, I totally recommend picking them up and trying them. I’m not sure if they’re limited flavors, but you don’t want to miss them. ^_^
So I’ve started working out to get all buff n stuff. I know I’m sort of late for the summer beach season, but better late then never. I’m not over weight or anything. I weigh 160/165 lbs on average which is better then I was in high school (125 lbs back then). Mostly, I’m working out to A: keep in a decent state of health and B: look all sexy. I don’t have a lot of body issues other then it bothered me that my arms where just tubes of meat with no form… that and I look sort of geeky. I guess that comes with the job though. ^_^
I’m not looking to get huge. I’ve seen the documentaries with professional body builders and man… I can’t imagine looking like that. I just want to have enough muscle to look sexy with my shirt off when I’m at the beach or a pool. Things are coming along nicely too I think. I have an Aerobic Glider and a weight system here at home and I alternate between the two each day and my work outs last about 20 – 30 min.
Anyone out there work out or have any tips? Are you in shape or out of shape?
