It's 4:30 on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, which is significant if one plans to participate in NaNoWriMo. I've spent most of the day organizing Hub's maddening sock drawer and uploading photos to Facebook. At one point I considered discarding FB - it's a time sucker and my brain's not geared that way (I barely...

We are always learning something all the time. Passing on a road the tenth time will pour something into your learning section of the brain that going on that route the eleventh time would be far easier. This example included a very colorless theme of a road. Let's consider an event that would...
This is a blog that I wrote in 2007 in which I broke down my Yahoo 360 page, which was about "me."...lol. Reading my thoughts now - I really find interesting. I am glad that I saved this because it allows me to see the progression of my thoughts as well as my thoughts about people who were alive at...
I need a new iPod because my current one has no more space for all the new songs I've somehow managed to find. My hands are itching to buy some new albums because I need to inject some more pop music into my already-overdosed system. Music is life, seriously. Because I can't imagine my life without...

Well I finally finished my next pencil/digital colored Bleach pic. People just seem to love them and I have a blast drawing them so expect more in the near future. This time I decided to draw Ichigo and Renji. The plans for this was to extend the Byakuya and Rukia drawing I did awhile ago. It does...
I ran across (no pun intended) this sonnet published in 1630 by Jacobus Revius a Protestant poet and preacher who through a self-accusatory technique which many 17th century artists of the Calvinistic reformist movement employed to examine their relationship to Christ and profess their guilt for his...

What a fabulous afternoon! We went to the museum and I headed straight for the Chihuly exhibit. It was a decent size exhibit, all stuff from the museum's own collection, but most of which I hadn't seen on display before. He really is great with color and form. There were some gorgeous pieces, many...
Christian evangelists long ago perfected the art of making oratory mountains out of scriptural molehills. What follows is GOF's first tentative step on the road to becoming the world's next Benny Hinn......or maybe even Jimmy Swaggart if I get lucky with my staff and congregation. I have chosen a...
Over the years Cracker Jacks has had many different surprises in their packages. I used to love finding mine in the bottom of the box just as much as the munchkins do today. I also used to love gold nugget gum, because the bag was a prize in itself. I guess, it a way that was why I always chose...

The criticism is difficult for me to understand. I wonder if the problem isn't a concern that people might...
