Progress

I've finally finished sketching the "foundation" for my Star Wars project. It took a lot longer than I orignally thought it was going to because I had to increase the size nearly 12 inches. Here is a picture that I've taken of the corner I'm working on. It's a little larger than an 8x10 section.
I also saw 300 this weekend. I didn't really have high hopes for the story, I was mostly interested in the art of the movie. However, everything exceeded my expectations. It was highly entertaining. I definitely recommend it to everyone. I think there was a little too much sexuality but that would be my only complaint. It was visually stunning, the acting was amazing (Spartan women just rock!) and they really got the 'heart' of the story across I think.
Oh yeah, the Star Wars characters belong to George Lucas and anyone else who owns the copyrights. I'm just a fan!

    HAHAHA! I love your disclaimer. Well, its more like you are working for a fan. I said it before and I will say it again---Your work is FANTASTIC! Honestly, I couldn't begin to sketch like that. See, that's what makes you so amazing and the perfect foil to me. YOU barely talk or share of yourself with others but when you do, people would be floored to know that you have so many fine skills when it comes to art. You're AWESOME! ME, I'm all talk and that's it. I can talk talk talk but can I do much of anything else? Nope! But I can convince you that I rock anyway. The fact is and always shall be that YOU, my dear ROCK in every way shape and form.
    300 did look visually stunning from the commercials but it's a bit too stylized for my taste. I'd like to see a realistic take on that battle, but that's just me. I know Frank Miller is a genius. WHen all's said and done....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! You make me so proud. ^_^

Lost Girl

Lost girl protects what is precious to her Can you say the same for yourself sir Hidden pockets of misery and divine Islands of hope if only they could shine Lost girl pushes away heartfelt love Not deserved, bloodied and shoved Unexplainable expectations she's given A heart not beating, held broken, riven Lost girl bites back urges to cry A scream past parted lips, only a sigh Shaking inside, flying apart, unraveling Logic and reason, following, traveling Lost girl can't tread water any longer Deep breath, under, float, stronger Leave behind all that exists here Keep it safe, hidden from fear Lost girl wants to turn back, embrace Behind closed eyes, only her face Accept what's been said and done Move forwards, towards the rising sun

Losing Money

That's what my bosses are doing today. They make us work on Memorial Day and then question why we aren't busy. But hey, why should I care? I'm getting paid to sit here and read. It's just that sometimes I can't help feeling I'm stuck in a Saturday detention. Doesn't help that half of the employees called in 'sick' today. Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter. I did have a wonderful weekend though! We went to the lake on Saturday and couldn't have asked for better weather. Had a BBQ, soaked up some sun, went home and slept. I watched Trainspotting while I unpacked some more boxes. It was disturbing to say the least and the baby, TRAUMATIZING. Johnny Lee Miller is absolutely adorable though. On Sunday we went to the theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . I was a little 'iffy' about it because I had read it was over 2 1/2 hours long. The second one wasn't very good in my opinion, but I decided to give this one a ...

So this is INCREDIBLY rambly...just had to get some things out! Life is.... interesting I feel..... everything One moment I feel very adult-like. I have responsibilities, a career (even if it's one I don't like). I have bills to pay and I'm budgeting my money. I make wise choices and investments. I help people with their problems and I am a shoulder to cry on. I fix things and I'm in complete control. I know how the world works and I feel comfortable with that. In between this breath and the next I'm on my ass. Things aren't like that at all. Am I just fooling myself? Is it a coping mechanism for us because we are so programed to think that way? Do we really believe we have to be in control of everything? The world is constantly changing, like the ocean. We are constantly changing. I have a childlike desire to see and experience everything. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. I want to feel pain, extreme pain along with happiness and complete joy, e...
