I need to just sit my ass down one day and start drawing. I have a brand new sketchbook, completely untouched, just sitting upstairs… Shame on me. I need to jump start the artistic side again.

She sits in a garage that isn’t even mine. My former neighbors were kind enough to let me store some things, most of which are replaceable, until I can pick up my moving truck. None of it really matters, save one. Priscilla. MY closest friend, my greatest lover, my worst influence.
She was born back ‘97 in much the same fashion as her kin. Shoved into the world far too soon so...

Love is like falling down...
As much as I try to move on, the closer the distance becomes to being physical, the harder it hits, the more it hurts.
I was ready and willing to be everything for you. I changed everything I was, accepted all the shit that needed to be changed, based only on your word. What good did it do? None. I’m worse now than I was when you left.
All the disgusting things that I hated...
I miss my children
I cried today. Not because I miss you, or even...
…but because I realized I’m gonna be all right without you.
Fuckin’ A, the melodrama recently. I’d like to have some more inspirational things going, but, sadly, that’s not the frame of mind I’ve been in of late. I’m trying to dissect the last two months of my life into something understandable and manageable.
Here’s a breakdown: August 22,...

Yeah, it’s a bible quote. I’m already going to hell. What’s the big deal?
I don’t know how to write this. When I talk about it, the words seem to come so easily. It’s not like ventilation. It feels more like vomiting, as if I’m suffering from some illness and my body is refusing the emotion.
Love. The word that gets thrown around more than a...

I’m lost. I’m losing my mind more and more everyday. I sit in my room, doing everything in my power to not look at the same 4 walls I try not to look at all the time. I avoid going outside whenever possible. I avoid clothes whenever possible.
I don’t think anyone would fault me on that last point.
Every hour of every day I’m on the verge of...

Idea'd!
DC Comics is about ready to launch the NEW DC Universe. Meaning they’re scrapping 80 years of history to start all over. Meaning we’ll be seeing stories from the 30s remade with flashier artwork and, God willing, more boobies. First movies, now comics. Pretty sure the world is tapped out on new ideas. Looking for fresh ideas on what to do with my sunglasses. Mayhaps I’ll pop out...

The Canyon
I’ve been meaning to write this for quite some time now. It was going to be a “Part 2” to an essay about a ride I took a few weeks back. Some back story: There’s a canyon on Hwy 62 just before the last six-ish mile straight away before you hit the I-10. On this particular day I decided to see just how far I could push the limits of my bike as well as my limits of...

So, I was watching the good ol’ television with my lady the other night when a Lane Bryant commercial came on saying something about their last ad causing a controversy. I couldn’t immediately recall it, but my dearest got me up to speed and then I decided to look into a little more.

Turnpike
Last night, I was laying in bed, reading a book about motorcycles and motorcycle rides ‘n’ such. Suddenly, I recalled my post-Iraq road trip up to see the parental units. The trip is approximately 1300 miles from 29 Palms, CA to Anacortes, WA where I sit and wait for the ferry to take me home again.
The ride is not, by any means, pleasant. The route I took anyway. For the sake...

Forewarning (!): This is very rough. Forewarn’d
I went for a good, long ride on the other day, my first in quite some time. I had forgotten the exhilaration and peace that comes with riding. The oneness between the rider and the road, the respect that must be given to the asphalt passing mere inches beneath your feet at seventy miles per hour, sights and smells of the road...

The past few weeks of my life have been the most productively unproductive times I think I’ve ever had in my adult life. My time spent at my actual job has been spent doing very little work. I peruse the internets for news articles or art reference, make countless visits to and from the hospital in a vain attempt to actually get help, and go to the gym. I have done very little work...

Personality Bucket List
Everyone should have a bucket list, a list a things to do before you suck start that rifle of life and play cards with Hitler.
Hitler:Heet me!
Me: BUST! HAH! Suck it, mein führer!
(We’re playing blackjack. I’m the dealer)
I have one. This isn’t that one. This is a list of things I want to be before I die. You can do stuff just by having the funds (see: our government...

Sobriety? What's so bright about it?
A lot, actually.
I’ve been meaning to update urrybody on my situation and get back into my writing.
Biggest update? I’m sober now. Not just dry, like on a deployment or I’m broke. Actually sober. Do I want a drink? Yes. Really fuckin bad. Am I going to go get a drinkl? No. That’s the beautiful part.
I’m changing. For the better, I hope. Life is really hard right...

I saw a man today sitting on a bench. I assume he was waiting for the bus. He was dressed in an old set of desert cammies, boots without laces, black gloves, brown undershirt, and hair that had balded into a horseshoe pattern that hadn’t been cut in at least a month, probably two. As I looked him over, I made a joke about...

I know, I know. I haven’t been around. I’m sorry. I understand that you can’t continue on without up to date knowledge on my happenings. Hope you haven’t killed yourselves yet.
The last few weeks have been all kinds of hectic. Getting settled in to the family, road tripping up to Washington and back, organizing the house, PS3. There’s a lot going on. Anymore,...

Long overdue updation
Sorry for the lack of abreast keeping of you all in regards to myself and all my glory. No, I did not contract a horrifying disease and no, I also did not save the universe from an angry mob of vagabond tree people. I’ve been at home.
I would like to start by saying that my son is the best thing ever. He is better than any children you may, or currently do, have. Period. He’s a...

I feel like a douche for the lack of updates, ‘specially since now there’s a newbian (see what I did there?). There will be one soon. Promise.

The past few weeks have been rough. The holidays away from home got to me harder than I thought they would. I’ve spent most of the past 3 weekends in one of the deepest drunken stupors I’ve been in. Not that there have been many, but none of them were good.
I would wake up in my bed every time. I would never remember how I got there, when I got there, or where I was prior to being...

Poor Proper Planning...
Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Supposedly… Those are the “six” ‘P’s of something or other… Yeah, that’s right. Six. Don’t correct me or anything, cuz I’ll haze you.
So, this morning, I was supposed to be at the gym here for a working party to help set up our mandatory fun day at 0500. I arrived at 0450. The fuckers we were waiting for...

I was at the gym today. I had the intention of doing my cardio and then a chest and arm workout. I do the bike for my cardio. A half hour into my cardio, my left arm and leg begin to hurt, eventually going numb. This botched my entire workout.
Every time this happens, I’m brought back to the day I was maimed by a man who was supposed to look out for me, who was supposed to do the right...

It’s what’s for dinner.
So, tonight, someone stole my clothes out of the dryer they were in. I assume it’s the guy who’s clothes were dry that I removed and placed on the top of said dryer. Why he would do this, I don’t know. I went around every door, on every floor, asking if they, or someone they know, had been using the laundry facilities on my floor. Everyone...

Any movie that changes human history as we know it to make Hitler a bullet riddled lump of a corpse in the middle of a burning theater debuting a Nazi hero movie by a cadre of pissed off Jews is definitely worth a watch on Christmas. Thanks for the recommendation babe.
Today ended up getting the better of me towards the end of the day today, just the beginning of Christmas for the rest of you. I...

So, the Christmas season is upon us like a strong, lonely man in a federal prison. The Marine Corps seems to view Christmas cheer as a joke that only faggots and boots embrace. I, for one, have not been one to eagerly embrace the atmosphere in recent years due to the overwhelmingly commercial stampede that comes...
No score and one year ago...
The short bus has been chuggin along for 1 year today. A hell of a year it’s been, too. To think, if it weren’t for Dragonforce, I wouldn’t be with her today. I’m gonna write them a letter.
Unfortunately, I’m 6000 miles away and spent a good part of the evening puking out bad Subway sammich (for the second night in a row). Next year I shall be all civilized again and...

Not a word.
I just annihilated myself at the gym today. I was doing very light weight compared to everyone else, I looked like a little bitch, but it felt good. I need to make this a regular thing. I also need to have a gym buddy, because I never push myself as hard as I should unless I have someone else there.

I was checking out my online USMC record to see if my 2nd Sea Service award had hit the system yet and if I needed to go get the necessary colorful accessories to designate my superiority over the singular pond crossers (don’t get me started on the non-pond crossers). It hit and I was satisfied, but, I noticed an addition.
I got my “Good Cookie” award, which is awarded to...
