OFF THE GRID

Hi all... it's been a LONG time since my last post. It's been a busy month and I haven't really had the time to throw down with my usual blogging nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense... we all know by now that the only reason I even have a blog is so that I can post pictures of myself. So here is a REALLY current picture of me. I'm talking minutes old.


In the picture you may notice a few things.
1. I'm growing my hair out.
2. I have sideburns
3. My beard is getting longer
4. I'm going bald

Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. I'm moving on...

Recently I started getting back into drawing and painting, which is something I haven't done since C & C Music Factory was telling Everybody to Dance Now. Anyway, I started with charcoal, then moved to pastels. And after getting seriously frustrated with my inability to control the pastels (and get fine detail), I moved on to watercolors. My first few tries were so-so, but I really like my latest piece.

Take a look and see for yourself...



I still have a long way to go before I am comfortable with the medium, but I thought this was a pretty good start. I also have to get more (better) supplies and I really need to learn many watercolor techniques. Oh yeah... and I need to find the time to add painting into the mix of my daily life.

Good luck with that, self.

Catch ya'll later!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (or setting the world record for most times using the number 37 in one post)

Howdy all,

It's about twenty till midnight, which means I can still get this blog in on time.

I'm 37 years old and I'm not sure I like it. I will reserve judgement since I've only been 37 for 23 hours, but my first impression is that it's nothing to write home about. Honestly, I'm not really feeling 37. I don't even know what 37 is supposed to feel like.

If anyone who has lived through 37 would like to offer some insight, let me know what I'm in store for. Because it's not a landmark age so I don't really know what to expect.

Anyway, that's it for now. I'm sleepy...

Happy Birthday Self!

I'M GOING TO RUN THIS JOKE INTO THE GROUND

Hey peeps,

I'm still pretty swamped with work and polishing my Grey's Anatomy spec (what else is new), so this is gonna be another short blog entry.

Enjoy this picture of my brother STEVE and his son ALEX...


Alex is getting big, huh. They grow up so fast!
