Drawing and the likes

Hey Mr. Machine?
It’s 7:55am and I'm listening to The Decemberist track “Sleepless” my gawd. To hear such passion in a voice is refreshing. You can almost hear the emotion solidifying in each word.
So my weekend was good. Ice cream, Gardening and cleaning up a wood pile. What every Saturday should consist of me thinks. Also, I got some drawing in.

I started working on a chest piece that I am considering, here is a pic. And I was also drawing…or should I say trying to learn to draw traditional roses.

The simplicity that you see when you look at traditional tattoo art is rather deceiving nes pas? Meaning that too look at it, it looks rather simplistic and easy to do but there are so many personal nuances of each artist that it really takes you a moment to figure it out. (the Decemberist is done NOW it’s White lies: see my previous entries for details)

But yeah, traditional tattoo art is fun to draw but as of right now…a little involved. Drawing a rose, I find is less easy then say drawing a Skull. The skull I have there now took all of 10 min at most? Then just a matter of shading and such.

The Gypsies is an old idea and I seem to continue to work on it. I think the remaining work will be done digitally tho… we’ll see.

So yeah, Tattoo gear will be ordered sometime this week and I hope to have a bit of drawing prowess back before it arrives, BUT until then….. Stay tuned.

A dream, a song and amovie all walk into a blog...

Hey Mr. Machine?

SO, I am getting closer to my life long dream of becoming a tattoo artist. Of course the first step in this matter would be to ….start. I’m going to be ordering new gear in a few days. 3 brass machines and a myriad of other things. So stay tuned.

Big brother starts this evening and I am in the Office pool so I hope to be victorious in the end and winning some extra cash, cause as the Great Chris Parnell said, “It’s All about the Hamilton’s Baby”. But here is Canada, it’s all about the Macdonald’s…the John .A’s . For the Pool, I was given Lydia. I can only hope she’s up to scratch and a no shit kind of girl, However, I hope she’s a conniving bitch who can get my some dollars.

SO, To music. Right now, as I type this at 7:45am, I'm listening to My Brightest Diamond and her track Golden Star . MY my my. I love this song. It’s not my fav on the album “Bring me the Workhorse” But it is a phenomenal listing. There is just something about her voice that Draws you in like a Zombie to a open wound. Some tracks…she has this sound rather reminiscent of Sarah Slean , but mixed with a 40’s lounge/speak easy/smoky blues singer. Very alluring.

Now here’s Jerm with the Movie anticipation Moment:

OK…So, as I’ve said in previous posts…”District 9” is coming out in August. I really can’t wait to see this flick. The advertising has reached Viral status with D-9 PSA’s, a School style education video and a poster campaign that is truly brilliant. It’s get’s better and better by the day and the August release cannot come soon enough. SO in the meantime, I sedate myself with watching the trailer over and over as well as the short film that this movie is based off of called Alive in Joburg Really inspiring visuals and rather seamless when it comes to blending fantasy and reality…I’ll call it Fanality. (I hope someone is logging these names and words I'm making up as they will be very usefull 1262 days.)

I feel that’s enough for today Mr. Machine, so I bid you Bon AppAdu”

De-Motivational

Hey Goog, or should I call you Mr. Machine?

It’s been a bit since we’ve chatted but as you know I was on Vaca. How was it you asked? Rainy, very rainy. BUT we, being the hardcore vacationers went camping anyway, albeit for only one night as it was TOO RAINY!!!. But we did hit Shediac and I got to go swimming in the ocean for an hour or so with a snorkel and mask. It was fun. Took a few pics (at about 6am cause I couldn't sleep) as well, here are a few….I think one is a dead body…..but or could just be a fella sleeping

So Blogger thingy…what will I tell you today? I'm thinking along the lines of motivation and how I lack it more than ever. For instance, as you may recall, a few weeks ago, I posted some drawings as I was ramping up to get my sketch on, but I’ve lost motivation for that. Writing…? Well this is the only writing I do…It’s a bit motivating but not a whole hell of use. I mean it’s not as though Showcase is going to make you into a miniseries… and when I'm at home….nada. I don’t want to do anything at all except sit.

Something’s missing in my brain that holds the key to being motivated. I have so many ideas and plans that right now seem to be delusions of grandeur only because, again…no motivation.
I was using an axe for various things, BUT they broke…that’s right, they, plural, two…. And I’ve yet to get a new handle…again…motivation. Smally got a guitar I want to learn to play, and can you guess why I haven’t? come on…one guess.

I'm starting to wonder if it’s motivation or that I'm just a fuckin lazy slob….hmmmmm….? I wonder?

Who knows…I need another project tho to keep my mind busy. I'm thinking situps. 6 weeks of 50 situps a night and see what happens. AND I’ll take pics along the way to record the progress? But maybe one project isn’t enough. Maybe I should take on the challenge of trying to think of fun things to do for Smally and Biggy (Biggy is my other son) But not only come up with the ideas, but do them with the fellas as well….? Hmmmmmm, that may be exactly what I need. That and church….I need Fellowship back to me thinks…

Anywhoo Mr. Machine…
I’ll keep you posted and you let me know how it looks.

last post for 10 days.

Happy Friday Goog
So I'm gonna try a different style of blogger thingy today….I’ll write this throughout the day as I think of and remember stuff….Im thinking more mindless bulk? Who knows…let’s give it a try.

So first is yet another link. My buddy Ivon sent me this one and I quote
”Don't know why .... but I thought of you when I found this site....LOL.......”
To say the least I was flattered. I mean, it must be the vibe I give off or something right?? Machismo?

Have you ever been in the bathroom and though of a really insightful question, an epiphany…if you will, but thought immediately that “Dammit, Old bean, you’re in the bathroom…there are no answers for your insightful question here”… BUT THERE ARE!!


I don’t know if this writing through the day will work as I actually have work to do….BUT it’s a work in progress….
I'm on Vaca next week, I’ll maybe pop in and say hi.

Website Hilarity!

Good morning Goog
How was your evening last night? Mouth breathers and lonely WOW players keeping you up all night? I betcha they were.

You know what I love?? Laughing. My Buddy Pat sent me this website yesterday morning and I’ve been laughing since. Texts from last night is FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!! Some of them, I was laughing so hard that my ab’s hurt, even through all of those layers of protective laugh proof fat, they still hurt. Here are a few nuggets of hilarity….

(504): My balls are about to become a huge part of your mouth's life

And
(617): dude we were spooning naked in bed with her ass in my crotch. she sharted in her sleep all over my dick.

And
(404): Can I crash on your couch? I just came home to find my wife giving two guys blowjobs.
(1-404): Two?
(404): Two.

With witty comic book like banter such as this….IT makes ME want to stay classy San Diego. And no…I don’t mean it makes me want to be a whale’s Vagina… speaking of which…another of those wonderful texts…

(732): I swear I am going to pee, wipe my vag with my hand, and then slap you in the face with it.

That is Oscar wild like goodness… I mean …Come on, Funny shit.

Also, I’ve been listening to Ale3xisonfire’s new album…Wow. Not too bad at all. I love the track “The Northern”. Dallas Green’s voice makes wet.

So…short update, BUT there you are…OH, and Two for the road…

(704): she was mega hot - except for the poop under her fingernails
And
(732): You just left with that feminine looking guy you kept calling "Jessica." Just giving the heads up.

More nothing...Am I losing my steam??

Hey Goog
How was your evening last night? Mine was not too bad. Played the Sims 3 for a bit, did about 5 min of sketching, helped Smally with his new video game thingy, weeded the garden and a whole lotta nothing else. But the crappy thing is…My hunny is sick today. 

I have vacation coming up next and I'm looking forward to going camping. We’ll be hitting Shediac
next Thursday or Friday and doing a fair amount of swimming at Parlee Beach. I think I'm gonna need a Snorkel and mask.

Ya know…with this rain, I'm not use to being indoors doing nothing. I love being out in the yard, fiddling around with chopping, or trampoline’in, or whatever….It kinda really sucks. This weekend, I’m thinking of hitting the Bluffs with a bunch of people, or a few, AND if their all up for it, maybe shoot some pics at Quiddy falls?
Anyone?? Huh???

Any way goog, I’ll chat atcha tomorow

lazy post

Good Morning Goog,
SO , father’s day weekend. It was good.
Saturday, Up early, two beers before I get into the river for the annual canoe trip. Good times. 6 to 8 hours on the river, 12 beers, no buzz, let alone drunk. Kept pulling drunk people out of the water so they wouldn’t drown, Sang I'm on a boat about 50 times…or parts of it anyway. Had some BBQ, had too many laughs at other’s expenses and when home early as sober as when I had woke up. But that was a good thing. I could elaborate more on it, but I really don’t feel like writing today so use your imagination.

Sunday, RELAXED. Got some great FD cards and gifts, had some beers and did a whole lotta nuthin.
