Work keeps comin' my way, and I'm lovin' it. I got a new wardrobe at Goodwill today. Total cost: $5.40. Total s bumped into: 1. Total pounds lost as of this morning: 65.

More mural painting tonight, but then I'm out of projects. The Jones Brothers cartoon is still waiting for approval and I haven't called the people who want portraits yet, so hopefully I can take care of that on Monday and be busy working this week, as...

My elliptical machine, the machine helping me lose all this weight and keep it off, died a horrible death tonight during my work out. Can she be repaired? I'm not sure. I'm calling tomorrow about a refund, but my hopes are low considering it's like 6...

Went to Hoops last night in Wednesday fashion. I drank water all night, along with Alan. Both Alan and I have agreed that there is no way we could stick to this diet without a little support. It's rough, man, especially when watching Angie and Brynn eat...

Last night I woke up coughing so hard that I ended up puking. That was fun. Today I'm tired and have a ridiculous headache, but feel okay otherwise. I just put in a few hours at the gallery, and now I'm about to head off to Childer's to finish up the mural...

So, half of day 1 of this diet is now complete. I've learned a few valuable lessons since starting this thing. 1. Oatmeal tastes like nothing if you don't put brown sugar in it. 2. Squash tastes like nothing. 3. Rice tastes like nothing. Tonight I eat...

I just went grocery shopping with Alan to prepare for the next week of this diet. This diet is going to suck so bad, I can't even believe it. To top it off, I haven't even the foggiest idea of how to steam vegetables. Any hints?

So, yesterday I went to meet with a few "clients", because this freelancing thing is starting to work again and I actually have "clients". It's fun to have "clients". It's fun to say I have clients. Clients, clients, clients. Anyway, so I went to Jones...

The meeting at Jones Brothers went awesome. I'm doing at least 1 cartoon for them, followed by the possibility of a lot more for the newspaper. We'll see how it goes after they see the finished product. So I go home and at around 6 (while I was still...

So I woke up bright and early this morning after a shitty night's sleep. I had cheered up considerably just knowing what I had to do the next day, but it still weighed a bit heavy on the 'ole mind and shoulders. So I got up and went to the gallery where no...

Okay, so it was my first day at the video production place. That sentence is going to be the last sentence in which I don't complain for many paragraphs, so feel free to skip this whole entry. Basically, going there this morning and working there all day...

I hope everyone had a splendid St. Patty's Day. Mine was good. I started on my mural a bit on the early side, so that I could get it done quickly and go get some drinkin' done. I finished in record time, then made my way to Sully's to meet the gang. We...

To celebrate sending in my comic book submission, the hundreds of dollars I've made in the past 2 days, and getting a new job, I went off today to get a new pair of glasses. My old ones were 5 years old and getting yellow and spotty. I didn't even notice...

I forgot to mention that the glasses place had a 2-for-1 deal, so I got 2 pairs. One for when I'm an artist. The other for when I'm a business man. ![][1] "You're such a handsome, hip looking young artist!" "Yes, but you're a handsome, professional...

So, I got offered the job at the video production place, and I took it. I know nothing of my pay rate or other important details. My first day is Wednesday, and if he tells me anything less than $8, I'll politely decline the position. I mean, I'll be...

So yesterday I worked for a couple hours. During my 6 hour shift, we had a total of 4 customers. It was an exciting day. I went home and made some phone calls, trying to make plans for the night. I couldn't get a hold of anyone, so I ended up going to...

Comic book status update: Completely, 100% finished. Done. Pencilled, inked, scanned, converted, scripted. The artwork turned out... strange, for lack of a better word. I worked actual size, which never happens in comics. Then, I scanned the art and...

I was really, really tired all day yesterday. I went to bed at around 10, which means I was awake just over 12 hours before sleeping another 10. Hopefully that's out of my system and I can start sleeping like a normal man again. In other news, my legs,...

The 2nd interview at the video production place went better than expected. I don't think they're going to pay me enough, and I also don't think I'm too interested in the position. But, sadly, I'll probably still take it if it's offered to me. I just really...

Man, my ass hurts so bad this morning. The pain is located only in my butt cheeks. Does jogging work some butt muscles that aren't worked by the elliptical machine? Well, I have to go make pretty picture frames now.
