The letter goes out Monday (I forgot to print the envelope for it). That said, I will be taking a few days to steady myself, and begin more aggressive training in my art, and also work on that offline writing project. I'll try to doodle up something so submit here too, just for fun.

I try to check my friends' portfolios once in a while, sometimes it's once a week, sometimes it goes longer. I usually do that while I'm visiting the site. I just voted on a lot of fanart, and did my own little thing when I was new here, gradually I seemed to draw people to me, and here I am today. People still send PMs or come come to my page and sign the guestbook after seeing a comment I made, so I do something right.
If that's the case, I inadvertantly hit an appropriate mood for the picture. Whatever was going through my head when I drew it isn't important. Hearing that I cheered up a friend with a piece of artwork, that's the best kind of compliment I can get for my art.
I'm just being stubborn, not really smart in this case. I can see that I'm arguing with a brick wall and it's time to just stop talking because the wall isn't going to move. It's sad to say, but the bureaucrats, politicians, and contracted private workers have hurt the state's reputation in my eyes. The lack of interest in the the issues, the unwillingness to take action, and twisting the blame back on me does not demonstrate a government that cares for its constituency. It shows me a lazy, uncaring government that would rather pass the buck to the victim than own up to serious issues and taking the necessary steps to fix them. Elections are coming up here, I know who are not getting my votes.
I'll certainly try.

The Honorable Robert C. Byrd, and the Honorable John "Jay" Rockefeller IV are my state Senators. I didn't write to my House Representative, I'm actually not sure who's district for that I'm in anyway. In retrospect, I should have added a letter to the Governor's office to the list of letters I wrote, but, given the track record of other West Virginians, I think his response would have been the same. No, was just an expression about how turbulent the week was for me. I really can't ride roller coasters, I get motion sick.

I'm not superstitious either, so it's more or less just another day for me. I hope you get the time to rest yourself, all work and no play makes everything annoying.

That's okay, you've been going thorugh a lot lately, I understand. I'm glad to hear that my comments meant something to you, I don't try to say great things, I just write what my heart tells me. I am doing all right, just worn out and in need of a few days rest which I plan to take starting after I post this. Just because you don't say "hi" every day (or every post) doesn't make you a bad friend, if that were the case I'd be a horrible one myself. come by when you can and speak from the heart, that's all I need to call anyone a friend. See you round the site.
