Thursday the 9th
Today was really a pretty exceptional day. The usual hanging out with friends and eating lunch togther, of course ... but I even worked in some sketching and inking, spray painting a new project and a little bass practice too.
Last night's LOST fall season finale was quite spectacular. Maybe not so much, in that we now have to wait four months for a new episode, but more because the story is teetering on a precarious enough point that I think I can make it through the dry spell. Just pass me another great DVD-based serial so I can wash away my anxiety. :). I am also really enjoying Heroes. Aside from tossing around any spoilers, I can say that I love where things are going. I had many doubts about the show, just into the second episode, but I am now definitely seated and ready for more.
So where are things headed for me? What are those lofty dreams I feel the need to start running toward? Hmm. Sitting back and thinking along those lines kinda hurts my back ... or my heart, really. Knowing that many times, I really wish I was in a different place, doing a different job, kinda gives me heartache a little. As much as I love FCC, I don't think it is really where I want to be right now. I don't even know that Illustrative is where I want to be. Sure I tend to be as wishi-washi as my laundry soap on a shiny disco floor, but I continually feel the need for more. I want more art in my life. More creating and do-ing. Less telephon'ing and typing.
Well, let's talk dreams then. If nothing else mattered; if reality wasn't standing with its foot out to trip me, what would I want to be doing right now? How about a full-time design studio, run by me and a couple of friends? We create our own stuff and screen-print our own shirts? That's not too shabby. I'm not sure how financially sound it is, but I know it would be "rock-my-socks" every day good. What about me working at Pixar or Disney? Pretty amazing, I think. Not only would I have to work hard to get there, but I would be challenged in my artistry daily ... something that is definitely missing right now. How about teaching at a great-sounding schools like Full-Sail or Ringley? I could see myself as a professor that spending his free time surfing on some sweet beaches, no doubt.
I'll leave you to ponder those ... and what the heck ... why not share your hopes and dreams? Lay it on me. What is it you would want to be doing right now if life took you there instead of here? Oh and here is a cute little guy for you to color. Later.

not gonna lie, the color-me pic looks a bit like Ceaser Romaro. which is super neato.
if you're having the nagging feeling of not being "settled" or "happy" with your current place/position in life, change it. and do so before you start self-sabotaging. it's no fun once that has started to happen.
as for sharing of position would be where it not for silly ol' reality, i do believe i would have been a chem teacher by now. but since i'm not, i would love to write a book. somewhat in the manner of Tim Burton's book "The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy & Other Stories" which i suggest everyone read, but mine wouldn't be as dark. twisted, yes, but not so very dark. i'm better at silly. from there, to have a publishing company, though i know nothing of the business. i think it'd be something that could bring some character, jobs, and recognition (OTHER than just sports recognition) to this area.
p.s.
i'm also kinda long winded, but with good intent.
toodals.
