And I'mma just gonna watch.

Yeah sorry for nothing fantastic lately folks... haven't really done any drawing as of late. Haven't had the mojo for it. I've been trying to take things a little slower, trying to keep from stressing out or freaking out at every little issue that comes my way.

It's actually quite hard to control your depression; to try to stop seeing all the negatives in ones life and try to focus on the small positives. Also using this break to try to collect my thoughts, I've just been so smashed up lately that I haven't done any of that. All I did was stress out at work then come home and draw stressed out... sure I could do it... but I just didn't feel fullfilled or quite as happy as I used to.

It's a bummer that I'm not drawing at the moment... but hopefully a little slow me down time will help rejuvenate whatever it is that I lost.

In the mean time... tell me gang... what would you like to see me draw in the future? Feed me some ideas for my mind to stew on whilst I relax :3

So I saw a preview on tv today of Fantastic Mr. Fox: [link]

I must say, I'm kinda excited to see it... it's stop animation style is fresh and something I don't see that often... not only that but it has BILL Freak'n MURRAY in it! It looks like it's going to be full of lots of laughs and so that will be on my short list of movies that I must see.

And I picked up my Verizon Droid phone yesterday, what do I think of it? On the whole, I love this phone! It definietly has some issues that need to be worked out in software updates... but this phone just works so well and the software takes itself half-hearted... as in it's just a tickle to play with... yes I said tickle.

The screen is goregous, the docking station is awesome, the gps unit flips my lid... call quality is amazing! Amazing because I live in a metal roof house with concrete walls... that usually spells doom for cell phones... not the droid! I get 3G reception in nearly every room of the house... I didn't even get reception with my old phone, let alone 3G reception.

Verizon customer service is also top notch. I had to call today because Best Buy screwed up my registration and I couldn't use the phone because it couldn't be "authenticated". First the rep apologized for the error, refunded my $35 activation fee and then promptly went to work to solve my problem. She actually said that she thinks I was their first caller with a droid problem :3

They were told that it was going to be a flawless launch without error so she was surprised that I called with a droid issue. Mind you it wasn't actually a droid issue but an activation issue. She again apologized for the inconvenience and sent me to their tech support specialist. He had me reactivate the phone again and now it works perfectly. Oh and build quality is amazing!

With all this gushing though, there is some short comings:

-Phone isn't as intuitive as the iphone (I have an Itouch)
-you can accidentally trip over the home keys and get unpleasant results (the four hot keys at the bottom)
-It likes to try to auto correct everything, without your say! D:
-I actually really like the slide out keyboard and my main grip is with the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard is only -good for when your in landscape view... in a vertical view... the keys are just way to small. They are all smooshed in and are hard to hit correctly.
-no multi-touch(yet) it can support it so it'll probably be enabled down the line

For me, these are minor though. I've heavily used my itouch and i've even played with an iphone. In the end the Iphone is still a cleaner and more polished unit, however; I truly love this droid more so then the iphone. There is just something about this device that makes it stick out from all the other phones.

If you are looking for a new phone, then I recommend the Droid. A solid A/A- product!

P.S. I had no problem getting the unit at Best Buy the other day, however; I went to the Verizon store to pick up some accessories and they were MOBBED with people. I asked if it was because of the droid they said "We sold 40 yesterday... and still selling strong. I just got here [for work] so I don't know if it's been like this all day... but yeah it's pretty crowded at the moment."

I do hope the droid succeeds

Nothing much going on. Ended up moving my one friend into his new house and It rained out... and I decided to get sick .

I did see paranormal activity yesterday though... freak'n creepy it was, highly recommended!

It got me and my little brother talking more about the haunted happenings around my parents house. If your interested you can read them all from this journal post:

[link]

My little brother did give me an update on the "return" story (see stories in link above). I mentioned it to him, before the movie, because I wanted to have him retell the story to his girlfriend. This was my way in seeing if his story varied from last year... a varying story is most likely not true. Well guess what he told it to his girlfriend and it was the exact same story, right down to the ending. We even got him to talk more about the entities. He said they wore old clothing, about the 1700's/1800's style clothing. There was three of them, two were men and one was a woman. The one man was wearing a suit and top hat, the lady was wearing period dress with one of those feathered hats; don't remember what he said about the 3rd.

He said he refused to tell me the rest of the story because he was to embarrassed. Essentially what happened was that he pulled the covers over his face in hoping that the entity would go away. A few minutes later he peaked out of his covers and the thing was still looking at him... worse yet the other two stopped studying me and my other brother and started to move over to him. He freaked out, pulled the covers over his face and cried himself to sleep.

Needless to say I believe him and paranormal activity sent some shivers down both our spines. Not because of what happened but the eeriness that the cast was what we felt in that house... it was just unsettling with the way it was made. It reminded us of our parents house I guess.

Enjoy the rest of Halloween!

In case somebody wants a zombie beaver for their wallpaper (in all it's error showing 1680x1050 goodness):

Zombie Beaver Wallpaper

click the download button for the hi-quality image. Made it for my one monitor and thought I'd share. I'm liking the new look that bucky has been sporting lately and also I'm pretty proud of myself on that last one, only took 3hrs.... even though i should have cleaned up the line art a bit better. O'well.

So it looks like I may actually be going to a theme park this Halloween... not sure, doesn't seem to be that much going on this year. Bummer . Speaking of halloween though, have you guys checked out:



If you haven't, then you must! This guy creates some of the best ghostbusters toon artwork that I have ever seen in my life... it's really just breathtaking and full of multitudes of awesomeness!

His work is so fantastic that I'm giving him both spots on my "featured artwork". Go there and worship him now

Storm has finally passed, up to one point we had 12" of snow, brought down a lot of tree branches and quite a few trees. We made the news several times because this was the earliest it ever snowed and this mountain was the hardest hit in the area.

Spent the weekend cleaning up the property and taking care of the parents house & cats since they went to S. Carolina for the weekend. It's not easy caring for 11 cats. @.@

As for the storm, here are some pictures after the storm hit: [link]

How have I been doing since my last journal? *sigh Right now I just feel consumed... like something is just chewing it's way through me. Any attempts in drawing result in, well... nothing. Thoughts of my dying cat and medical issues with my mother are bounding me up I guess.

I'm bound full of energy yet too consumed with my thoughts that I can't do anything with it.

I want to draw but at the same time I have no desire for it. I think this situation I put myself in is killing me both creatively and physically.

Yeah sorry, no good news yet
