Too tired right now to say much, but I'm relaxed and will be back to regular posting again later this week. For those of you who get Sci-Fi and are interested in the paranormal, the Ghost Hunters will be investigating Moundsville Penitentiary Wednesday night (9:00PM Eastern Time) an old prison here in West Virginia. I've been on the tour there, quite a place. Also keep your eyes open for the Mothman special that will be following it.

All you can do is try, and work with what you get. Have a good time, and I hope the technical things get resolved so you can come on more regularly again.

Meditation is a discipline, like any martial art, sport, or even a performing art. If a person isn't strict about doing it, it will not be effective. Try starting out with simpler meditation exercises first, then work your way back up to more complex stuff. The general premise of meditation is to train your mind to think of nothing, it's not easy. It works for me when I need it, and it helps keep me moderately mellow. Thanks, I need all the luck I can get.

I have to keep myself in check since I'm unemployed and all. This week's major project is going to be the Cowboy Bebop Chibis I've been holdong off on doing for my sister, next weeks will be the other picture my sister asked me to do for her (I'm so behind). Those don't count the extra practice I'm putting in. I started to learn HTML in 2003 for two things, MyOtaku, and the Tech TV message boards, none of that was wasted, look at how far I've come as I've adapted some of the newer standards.
That's my policy and I'm sticking to it. Since I don't have a car, I don't have any use for bumper stickers myself. I do have one political statement I make, but it's only to the people and politicians who try to push their views on me, which doesn't happen often. I just take out my lighter (I don't smoke, but I carry a lighter anyway, force of habit) and let them read it. It says: "I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can get my head that far up my ass." That usually frightens off anyone trying to convince me their platform is the best. It's a last resort when for when I tell one of those campainers to leave me alone and they don't.

I guess I'm a bit like Cyranno de Bergerac that way, a little Old School, and a little rough around the edges. More guys should speak from their hearts, they'd find the world a lot easier to deal with that way. ~.^
A lot less to worry about for now that the letter is out, so that's a big plus. I am rested and ready to go for a while. The writing is doing fine and you'll have to be the judge of how my art is going yourself. The first pic was up last I checked, it's in the portfolio, I'm too tired to link it tonight.
Chess is a challenging game, one I like to play when I need to jog my mind into thinking mode. I use it as sort of a warm up to do other things like my writing, and it works okay. I'd like to play against people more often than a machice, but I'll settle for this little chess program I found online called Pawn 2 for now.

Not exactly. I tried the art school route once already and since they royally screwed me, I've decided to take things into my own hands. I'm going to agressively practice the tutorials people have referred me to, and the ones I have offline in books and the like, then I'm going to repractice them once I get done just to see how much better they are the second time around. The earliest fruit should be in my portfolio now, but I'm hoping to get better and do a lot more to submit here. Meditation helps keep the nerves steady and the spirit free.

I can't promise you'll be the first to see them, once they get uploaded here, anyone could be the first to look. I get mental snapshots in my head, and try to sketch those out, it don't always work. No I haven't seen that movie, car movies don't really interest me. My Mom used to have a 73 Dodge Dart, it's speed gauge read up to 240 I think, and believe you me that car could pull every mile out of that gauge, and it was all stock, all original. I can't do that kind of thing myself, my fear of driving and all kind of gets in the way.
