Scribbles for the evening...

Crazy4Cult 4

I gotta say, I would love to be part of a show like this. Maybe add this to the goals for 2011, haha. But yea, check out this behind the scenes for a great show in LA.

Video Game - E3 2011

For your viewing pleasure...

So if you know me, you know I am a big geek. That and that I have joked from time to time if I ever dated someone who was into Star Trek, I would propose on the spot.

That said, I think I am in love.

Well, not really, clearly I am joking, because this girl looks like she's 12. But if you're into Star Trek, you listen to the lyrics they're pretty accurate... yes, I just vetted a fan made pop song... Don't judge me.

Well first mishap...

...of the 2011 Year of Change.

So one o the goals this year is to be better about money. Made a budget, have a plan... and I don't know what happened... missed an expense to log or something? But, let's just say there's a blip. And not sure where it is.

I knew January and February I would be in the red to catch up from XMAS... but still, the next 4 days till payday are going to be long and dark.

New Year Resolutions

Yea, it's that time of year again, and seeing what we can do to make the life better. I mean, really can't expect anyone else to do it, right? Though that would be nice, haha.

Anyway, here it goes:

1) Broadsroke: get my shit in order. Mainly meaning: home, life, money, career. But we'll get into all of that.
2) Get my finances in order. Sure planning for my future. But I need to be better about my budgeting, about my debt. Just need to get that in order.
3) Start to build my home. I need to get rid of the college decor, my home needs to become a home.
4) Cut back on smoking.
5) Cut back on soda.
6) Lose weight.
7) Workout more.
8) Put on a gallery show.
9) Publish a comic.
10) Get the balls to do something about my dating life.

And that's pretty much it. Too much? Maybe. But we'll give it a go.

Well back to KC...

Well the Christmas is coming to an end, and I head back to KC tomorrow. I have to say it's always a little bittersweet. I guess you can only take so much time with family... but at the sametime you can't help but miss them. And in my case, there are things I worry about, and wish I was here, so I can look after and support them...

But I go back home tomorrow. I will miss them always. But 2011 is a new year... let's see if we can make this the one where it all comes together.

If I don't blog before New Year's, well, HAPPY NEW YEAR kids!

TRON Legacy, Round 3

I liked 'Tron Legacy' well enough the first time out. Then a good buddy of mine asked me if I would see it with him, second time out, got a little more nit-picky. Now I am visiting family for the holidays, and my older brother wants to see it, and all I can think about is a Penny-Arcade strip:




Right now, that sums up how I feel about the movie. The things we do for family.

PS - this strip was used without permission, so you should check out Penny Arcade at: http://www.penny-arcade.com and expose yourself to their hilarity. Just sayin'

Christmas.

Yea, I gotta say... this year's Christmas has left me pretty bummed out and angry. As for the how's and why's? Well, you don't get to hear that. But it's not something superficial like no body sending me a Christmas card... just has left me pretty bummed. And I am not entirely sure what I am supposed to do with that.

But there it is.

Social Networking.

So we all have people we meet, and befriend along the way of our life. And sometimes whatever brings you together, holds you together, no longer binds you, and those relationships drift.

So why is this important?

Well, a lot of holiday parties this season, and I would run into a lot of old aqauintences. And they would tell me, "Dude, I am so happy you're so active on Facebook, I feel like we've been keeping in touch!"

FUCK THAT!

Haha, I am half tempted to shut down all my accounts, and force people to call every now and again!

But with my luck, they'd probably text. :)

Korean AdSense

Haha, it's funny, I have a vague idea about how Google AdSense works. You drop in the banner code. Then AdSense spiders your blog, and serves up ads relevant to your blog.

Okay.

So explain to me why a Korean banner ad came up? And by that, I mean, in Korean. Yes, I am Korean, but definitely to not blog about being Korean. The only Korean in this blog is in the header, and it's an image, with no tag.

Now, don't get me wrong. Not mad. I just think it's really funny. And if you really know, I think you might appreciate why.

Anyway, it's Christmas boys and girls. And those of you who celebrate this holiday, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. And those of you who do not rock this holiday, well, I hope you've had a very wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.

Anyway, that was it. Till the next blog... and there's news in the pipeline... I'll see you around.

Take my balls internet. Damn you.

You know it's a little depressing when the internet tells you there are no good matches for you. And people keep telling me to try online dating... oh some little solace that I was right, haha.

Maybe not, wonkwonk. :)

It's upsetting...

I think I've always been a late bloomer in life, in every respect of my life. But, as I get older, and realizing things I want to do before I, well, die... well, before it's too late... anyway, as I realize these things, I could've been doing it all along, if I was just a little smarter.

Just a little.

And that really sucks.

Well, it's up to me to fix that right? Well, here's to tomorrow!

In progress

Cracks me up EVERYTIME...

So I've been drawing...

...and hoped you'd be so kind to go vote on a shirt I have in a Threadless Challenge. You'd be more incredible to me than stars on a sundae of amazing that could be you.

Little White Girl...

So I used to work with this one girl. Super sweet girl. Super kind, and honest. You know, generally an all around good person. And often you'd find with this kind of person, innocent in the most adorable way.

Anyway, way back when, we all went out for a Happy Hour, and somewhere along the evening she used "holla" in a sentence, but said, "holler". Not only that, but said it in most sterotypical adorable "white girl from the 50's" kind of way.

Some people gave her shit that night. But just caught a post by her, excited about a premiere tonight, to which she ended it with, "holler".

I couldn't help but smile. Smile knowing there are still really sweet and innocent people around. And thankful I know that kind of good.

Anyway, thought I would share. Hope you all are having a wondering evening tonight.

:D

So I don't know if anyone reads this blog...

But if you do, or just a passerby, feel like doing your daily good deed and help a brother out and vote for an entry at Threadless?

That'd be amazing.

Random thought of the evening...

I had a really shitty day.

But I love, and am always amazed by how, despite how angry, or upset I can get... I really am amazed how the magic of a really good movie can put a smile on my face.

In this instance, it was a little movie called Adam.

Now, back to work...

So let's see if I can do it...

...like so many other addictions, I am going to see if I can curb my online habits. Specifically, staying off Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin for the weekend.

I'll probably fail, but we'll see how it goes. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be productive in something, haha.
