I’ve been reviewing old writings and drawings in my sketchbooks. Man, I’m glad I have these. I’ve noticed how much I’ve tightened up with my art making and writing. Not tightened up in the sense of tuning up, but more like a sense of inflexibility. I’ve become rigid; well, I’m moving in the direction of [...]

left handed
I’m left handed. Did you know that? Anyways, I’ve grown up using the computer mouse with my right hand, so in order to increase my dexterity of mouse operating techniques, I have decided to start mousing with my left hand. I switched the clicker thingy around and I’ve been using my left hand for mousing [...]

(thought of the morning) I am so sick of…
I am so sick of all those damn wedding websites that talk about suggestions for the groom. No wonder men have such a bad rap. These sites that are supposed to be there to support men in preparing for the wedding and for marriage, are supporting men in furthering their stupidity, sexual fantasies, independence, and [...]

oops paint
You know, sometimes I get frustrated with the customer service at Home Depot. I think to myself, “Gee whiz, where do they find these idiots?” There are, however, some plus sides to this idiocracy: “oops paint” And the wonderful thing is, they keep making mistakes with the colors I like! Yes!!! Score: Home Depot – [...]

safety first
Moral of the story: Bombs are heavy. Remember that scene in Back to the Future where Doc Brown asks Marty why he keeps using the adjective “heavy” – He says something like, “Is there some kind of atmospheric pressure in the future that makes everything seem heavier?” I love that scene.
