Marine Corps Flag Drawing

On Friday, as I was driving off base from work and to the start of the Memorial day 96 I saw a Marine Corps flag and the United States Flag crossed and suddenly I had an idea for a drawing.  I have worked diligently on this drawing since Friday and I think I am finally done. I don't want to shade it too much and ruin the picture.  Tell me what  you think, constructive criticism welcome.

Tattoo's

I am not sure what it is about tattoo's,but I just can not get enough of them.  I currently have nine tattoos, its not really that many... I have big plans though!

Over this weekends time off, I have got a lot done.  I started this drawing and everything I have done with it seems to be exactly what it needs.  All I need to do is some accent shading and I think I will be done with it.  I will post pictures of it when I am complete.  I also managed to catch my laundry up!  It has been a while since the last time I had no laundry in the hamper.  I am a little confused what to do now, maybe I will wear 3 outfits today so that the hamper is no longer empty.

No More Cast... Atleast For Now

Back in December I managed to break a bone in my hand after punching a door while I was in a drunken' rage.  I ended up in a cast for about six weeks before it was removed.   The six weeks went by fairly quickly, however, anyone who has ever had a cast one before knows how inconvenient the thing is.  

...

About four weeks ago, during morning PT I managed to re break my hand in the exact same spot leading to yet another cast.  Having the cast on once was bad enough, but this second time straight up sucked!  I had the cast on for four weeks and on Wednesday I had it taken off.  I will need to do two months of physical therapy and then most likely surgery to put two plates where the bones broke, which will help prevent any future breaks. 

I am off work until Wednesday and it is beautiful outside, I think it may just be a beach day!

IED Encounter

I finally got a copy of the F18 video of my teams encounter with an IED in Iraq.

Monday... UGH!@#

I do not know what it is about Monday's, but it is by far the worst day of the week.  For one, everything goes by ten times slower than any other day while I am at work and when I go home it goes ten times faster.  Nothing ever seems to get accomplished either!  There is only one thing to look forward to on Monday and that is the day to be over.  Maybe Monday sucks, because the weekend never seems to be long enough.  Regardless of the cause, Monday sucks!  Hoooray for Tuesday!

Photo Editor

Just recently I purchased a new laptop, nothing fancy, but something to allow me access to the internet.  It come with an extra twenty or so programs.  This photo editor program caught my eye and I have had fun messing around with it.  As I design more pictures I will post them for everyone to see.  This is what I have so far, just a little family collage made of pictures I found on my facebook picture albums.

From SCRATCH

I decided today, kind of a spur of the moment deal, that I was going to erase all my old blogs and start from scratch.  I am hoping that I am able to manage the upkeep of blogging.  For those of you that do not know me, my name is R.J. (Ryan Jamison... I get asked what "R.J." stands for enough) and I am a 23 year old U.S. Marine.  I have experienced many things in life and know I have decided to share that with you all.  I encourage everyone to comment and ask any questions you may have. Enjoy!
