I don't know if it's true...

..but I heard once that Bob Marley believed that he could cure racism and hate by injecting music and love into people's lives.

Yea, I don't know if that's true. But it's a really beautiful idea.

Worn out.

So I got a thing about birthdays. There's a story there, but if you want to know it, you're just gonna have to ask me in person. Ideally over dinner, and cocktails. But this weekend I have had 3 birthdays in 2 days. Had to miss one. But safe to say, I am fucking pooped! Thank goodness for the long weekend, definitely looking forward to tomorrow!

New Doodle...

Just a little something for a Call for Entries on a Illustration Annual. Next stop, color.

and on the topic of Resolutions...

this made me giggle:

So shall we make some commitments?

Here are my New Year's Resolutions:

- lose weight (which this should probably read: eat better, exercise regularly)
- finish what I start
- cut down on smoking (love it too much to go cold turkey. baby steps right?)
- budget funds/follow budget
- get back on track for my retirement
- find what's important, and don't let go
- rediscover my passion

I think that's a good start. What are your resolutions for the year?

New Year's Eve/Day

Just a quick note about New Year's.

Well, first, Happy New Year's! No but I hope all of you had a great New Year's Eve. I know I did. Though this morning was interesting, as I surveyed my home in the aftermath, I was kind of curious as to what had happened. Almost if I woke up in The Hangover, and I was trying to piece together the previous night. I journey that included digital camera... though not as colorful pictures in comparison to the movie ;)

But all in all, great night. Good music, good friends, wine, scotch, hey even made sushi during! Looked like everyone had a good time. I just hoped I didn't become too big a mess before the night was done.

Though I have to say, this morning I felt like I was 100 years old, as EVERY joint and bone in my ached in such pain, haha. I don't know if that's a sign that I am extremely out of shape, or I am just getting old.

Probably both.

Safe to say, 2010 was off to a slow start, which to be honest, I'm okay with.

Anyway, Happy New Year internet. And I'll see you next time.

We all have stages, don't we?

For me, for this particular moment. I am seriously over-thinking ENTIRELY WAY. TOO. MUCH. And it probably only compounds the suck that I have a creative mind. That sounds really egotistical, doesn't it? But I have no idea how else to put it:

over-thinking + over-active imagination = a lot of suck.

But yea, there it is. And here I am. Almost 2 in the morning. Can't sleep. So I think. And I guess you probably want to know what I am thinking about. What has me perplexed at this late/early hour? Well, this is where I am a tease, and you just don't get to hear it.

But if you know me, and I mean really know me, you can probably make a pretty educated and accurate guess.

But yea, of all the things to plague a person's mind, I probably am stuck on the worst topic. But that's okay I suppose. If I ever make it to bed, I'm sure it'll pass by morning.
