It's Been A Minute

I have fallen away from writing in my blog and for no one reason, but the general thought that I do not have time for this. Regardless of the fact, I think writing is an excellent outlet for my frustration and festering thoughts.  I have always been told that allowing emotions and thoughts/memories to fester will only create more problems in the future. It may be easier to push them to the side or lock them away than dealing with them when they are fresh in the mind. I have experienced plenty of events in my life that I wish I had not had to and plenty of times I have asked why me? All in all the only thing that I can come up with is that these things would not happen to me if I was not strong enough to handle them. Guess what? I am still here, and I am still moving along. All that being said from the next post on I will take a journey through my life. Everyone who wishes to jump on this train of emotion, heartbreak and sorrow the ride is free... comments are welcome but all will require moderation by myself.

At It Again

One of these days I am going to get a routine going in my life in which I am capable of posting new blogs on a more frequent basis... until then bare with me. Hahah. A lot has taken place in the past few months. I am not going to go into much detail because I only have one good working arm so it takes me time to type out a long message or blog in this case. I have still been drawing and in this blog I have attached two of my most recent finished drawings. It seems as though I excel when I am in a complete emotional roller coaster that cannot be stopped. Not only that but this past Monday I had surgery on my right shoulder to repair several tears. Much more stuff has happened but those are the main two that have been going on. If you have any comments, critiques, etc about the drawings please let me know. I only see it from one side.

Fascination with Reapers

I'm not sure what it is about drawing the Grim Reaper, but I enjoy it for some reason. I wanted to get back into the drawing mode and I had a couple unfinished drawings that I wanted to work on and make some noticeable progress. The first one, as displayed, is a reaper that has been sitting around not even half drawn. Granted there is still work to be done on this, but I did manage to give this reaper a full cloak today as well as make progress on the shading. I still have a background to throw in to complete the picture but I am not worried about that as much right now. The second drawing is one the I have been working on for my for some time now. I do not have any pictures on tap for that drawing. That is a little more top secret. Once it is complete and the final product is here I'll take a snapshot and post. Enjoy... comments regarding drawings are encouraged.

Packers/Panthers

So I attended the Carolina Panthers/Green Bay Packers game last Sunday. I had an amazing time, however just when everything about the trip seems to be going perfectly, and more conviced we would have planned a perfectly executed trip. Absolutely flawless. Say it ain't so... It was so. Until a misguided car added an hour and a half on to the drive home. Yes you heard that right, my A-Driver either did not want to go back to Camp Lejeune or he had too much to drink throughout the day. Probably a little of both. Regardless it was a good time and I may share a story or two about the trip if I have anyone that would like to hear some. Check out this video below... "It's uh-me Mario." Yeah I am the random Mario... we had a great time.

Surgery Complete

Roughly three weeks ago I had surgery on my elbow. Everything with the recovery has been going smoothly as far as I can tell. The pain from the surgery has been more irritating than anything from the position of the incision and the length. As of now the stitches are out and, for the most part, its just a scar now... for the most part! It still hurts and I do not have complete movement of it. If I use it too much throughout the day, it will be stiff the following day. I have started another drawing, if you have a bad habit of stopping in the middle of one drawing and starting another. At some point in time I eventually complete them. More pictures to come soon.
