My Blog Is the Unpopular Kid?!? What?!?

I ran across this article on CNN.com, aparently it's suggesting that my blog is boring... interesting!  Instead of just calling me boring they have suggested ways to improve me blog... Okay I'm listening?  To sum it up this is what I need to do:

1. Pick a specific item to post about, narrow down my topic.

2. Join a blogging community that share the topic that I picked.

3. Redesign my blog.

4. Learn grammar and proper english.

Lets see if it works. As I accomplish these four tasks I will update you.  Don't expect a miracle over night, step 3 is suggesting I learn HTML. That could take me years and on top of that if I have to relearn step 4 I am way behind the learning curve.

Family & The Beach

My mom, Jesse, Ara and her friend, Emily, are down here on Camp Lejeune for a little beach time on Onslow Beach.  They got here on Tuesday around noon-ish and they will be here till Sunday before the head back to the Land of Lincoln.  I am super happy that they came, it's always nice to see family, especially when they come to me.  I do not forsee myself making that drive back to Illinois for years.

Not Original... But A Start

So I still can't think of any ideas for things to draw... so I went on google.com and searched for pencil drawing tutorials.  I came across this one.  I decided to try and copy this man's picture and this is what I ended with.   Not too bad, but not nearly as good as his.  I have come to the conclusion I need some more art supplies to get the effect on some drawings that I want.

Drawers Block!?!

Not sure if there is such a thing but since drawing that last picture I have run into a empty wilderness.  I can not think of any idea that I like.  I have started drawing a couple pictures in the past couple days, however after getting like an hour or so into the drawing I became unsatisfied and tried to think of other ideas.  I really wish I could get an idea and make it stick on paper the way I see it in my head.

Slow Start To Leave

I have not done too much while I have been on leave.  I have watched a ton of movies and played an equal number of video games, on top of that I have done a little drawing.  I have decided I need to do more drawings and read more books.  I am on my way, here is a drawing that I did yesterday...
