FINAL POSTING FOR TODAY... I SWEAR!!

ZOMG! I don't update for months (or years) at a time and now I've got 4 posts in the same day. I LOVE BEING RANDOM!!      ^_^

Ok, so I've got my scanner hooked up and working (Yay Me!!) and I got bit by the Photoshop Zombie. And I am happy to announce that my first drawing is ready for release.


This is ZOMBUNNY.




In "Once Upon A Journey, An Adventure Broke Out", Zombunny befriends Zombey and joins him on many epic quests. Yes, he's a bunny. Bunnies are Kool! Alright, I have a 10 month old nephew, and he will be reading soon. (They are still kool though!)

SO MUCH GOING ON!

Ok. I can take a hint.  <>
I went out to mow the lawn, and after 5 minutes of mowing, the engine popped a bolt! I had noticed that the mower was running oddly prior, but it is an old mower so I did not think much of it. Suddenly there's this bolt laying on the ground, and it is SMOKING!

Now I am not mechanically inclined, however, I do know engine bolts shouldn't smoke. (Surgeon General agrees, smoking is bad for your health...).  LOL  So, I did what any self respecting 'non-mechanically inclined' person would do... I called my brother.  He and I will be looking at it tomorrow morning, so I shall continue the tale of "LANDSCAPING SHENANIGANS" in ONCE UPON A JOURNEY, AN ADVENTURE BROKE OUT!!!

I finalized the layout for this blog.
I set up my Deviant Art site. 
I set up my iGoogle home page & gadgets.
I hooked up my scanner, AND it is WORKING!

DEVIANT ART GALLERY

I now have a Deviant Art Gallery (not that there's anything up there yet...) which you can see/access on the right side of the page, in the RECENT ARTWORK section. My scanner, while it did not flat line the laptop (Thank God Almighty!), it does not have the proper Windows 7 drivers to install. I am still investigating... My only option may be to upgrade/replace my scanner.  

sigh...

Gave myself a haircut finally. Trimmed up my facial hair. I look and feel like a new man.
Will be mowing the lawn today.

After my nap with the Lil' Man (my nephew Nathaniel)  =D

EARLY MORNING

Well, here it is, 6:00am and I am updating again. Slaves to technology, right? I guess in some ways this is good, it affords me the opportunity to discipline myself to attending to one thing on a daily basis. We all have to start somewhere, right? Seems more like a daily diary entry than anything else.

I will be attempting to hook up my scanner to my laptop this morning to identify if it will function with a Windows 7 (64-bit) operating system. Worse case scenario, it will flat line my laptop. Best case scenario... I will be posting some images of artwork that I have been working on. 

I will probably post again with the results either way (hopefully...).

ZOMBIE FASCINATION

So here it is, the posting that I have been putting off... the reason for my Zombie Fascination.

... sigh ...


I cannot specifically say when it started, though I suspect that it began one fateful night in New Orleans, Louisiana, when myself and a small cadre of friends went to a conference centered around the Pagan beliefs and representatives of each particular venue of beliefs were on hand to demonstrate their ritual practices. Now I wish I could say that it was all very fine and good, however, it turned out to be an event, a day and an experience that I shall nay forget as long as I exist. 

But that's a story for another posting.  XD 

There is an amazing resemblance between the grotesk, and often chilling, representation of animated corpses seeking out a meal among a race that inherently disregards utilizing their brains for something other than autopilot, and the social behaviors of the human race. 

Now I will say this first: 
The following are my personal opinions (i.e. this is MY blog...) 
and I have no interest in offending anyone, however...
the statements made are based on my personal experiences and observations thus far in my life. 
"I want to be different, just like everyone else..."
  1. FADS = PLAGUE. One person is SOOOO lazy, they put their clothes on inside out and thinks wearing your clothes this way is good. That person convinces another person that yes... clothes worn inside out is good. The next thing you know, everywhere you look, thousands of seamstress hours are brutally mauled as their creations are turned inside out. Bring in a high falootin' so-n-so to endorse this 'movement' and begin a whole clothing line dedicated to it, and you have FAD ZOMBIES. All bit by the same plague. The newest diet, house size, vehicle, 6-direction washing machines, cure for the latest ailment with side effects that outweigh the cure.
  2. POLLS...Pure Plague propaganda. I ask 3 doctors a question about [insert subject]. 2 of them answer one way, 1 answers another way. The following statement is TRUE. "Two out of every three doctors polledor tax [subject]. agreed [insert subject agenda]". Now you are ready to launch your agenda platform and you dispense the results of the poll in magazines, radio and T.V. which places your [subject] in the minds and conversations of everyone who were exposed to the poll. People exposed to the poll find themselves in the position of agreeing or disagreeing with the [subject], which creates sides. Enter the government which then has to take an official position about the [subject], suddenly political officials are using the [subject] as a platform to launch their campaign for election, and the government as a ruling body has to pass a law or addendum to the law to legislate

There are more, but perhaps I will put them in another post. The main theme of the Zombie Fascination is it only takes one. Once you are bit, you are one of them.   o_O

ZOMG! A NEW POST??!?!?

SO I WILL CONTINUE TO PRETEND THAT SOMEONE OTHER THAN MYSELF IS READING THIS BLOG, AND MAKE THE OBLIGATORY APOLOGIES FOR NOT UPDATING... SOME THING THAT I'VE NOTICED HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN THE BLOGVERSE. SO MUCH SO IN FACT THAT THE VERY REASON THAT I AM WRITING IS BECAUSE IT ANNOYED ME TO THE *Nth* DEGREE. YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE GOING TO START A BLOG, YOU SHOULD STICK WITH IT. NOW I WON'T GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT LIFE IS ONE BLOG ENTRY AFTER ANOTHER, BUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A BLOGGER IF YOU UPDATE ONCE A YEAR OR PERHAPS ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH? PEOPLE GET BORED CHECKING FOR UPDATES DAY AFTER DAY, JUST TO HAVE THEIR ANTICIPATIONS DECIMATED BY YOUR LACK OF DISCIPLINE.

ERE'GO, I AM UPDATING MY BLOG AND AM GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT A DAILY.  =P
SHORT ENTRY, BUT AN ENTRY NONE THE LESS!!
