compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

here am I.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Yeah, I’m back. I did nothing yesterday except finish reading Life of Pi. (I highly recommend this book, as if my recommendations mean anything.)
The con? Oh yeah, that. Well…it was…different. We had a metric buttload of people with us, and were NOT in the section that we [...]

I’m sorry. This is going to be another “brian’s talking about comic-oriented things again” post. This weekend is HeroesCon in Charlotte. I always look forward to this show. I believe this will be our 6th year going and our second being on the “other side” of the table.
The difference [...]

Slice of Life

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

I ushered this weekend in with a late night anxiety/insomnia episode that was brought on by (in my humble medical opinion) a late afternoon Coke. In all the worlds my mind inhabits, caffeine is the indisputable destroyer of them all. After pacifying my mind with the XBOX, I drifted off to sleep sometime [...]

The Fastest Man Alive!

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Apparently I have a new ability. It came out of nowhere…and just switched on. What is it, you may ask?
I can run…FOREVER.
About a month ago I decided I was just going to come home and run for about 20 minutes everyday. I’ve been running for years…but even at my peak I [...]

The Nothing…

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

It’s been hard these last few months to get into writing. Well, let me amend that. It’s been hard to get into writing about anything other than drawing. This is primarily because that’s all I’ve been doing for the last few months and I really don’t want this space to be all [...]

A Warm Summer Wednesday…

Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

This afternoon I have to take my grandmother to the dentist. While I’m there I have to reschedule an appointment I missed last year and hopefully it won’t be with the lady who pillages my gums everytime she goes to clean my teeth. You shouldn’t be able to taste and feel the [...]

Drawing on inspiriation…

Saturday, June 11th, 2005

The advice I’ve always heard from successful artists is that in order to get better at drawing you have to sketch from life. Just go out into a coffee shop or bookstore and draw the people around you. That’s all fine and good, except I suck at it. Don’t get me [...]

A June update…

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

Well, that last post certainly was a long one. And, supposedly, my wife isn’t going to drop the baton. Who’d a thunk it?
- I went to see Star Wars for the second time. The dialogue is…not as good (If “good” is even appropriate for the first time)…when you have to sit through [...]

The Musical Baton

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

I was handed the baton, so I suppose it’s time to expand the music category of my blog.
I don’t talk about music with very many people. The exceptions being a few musician friends, and, every once in a while, someone who I know will like something I’m into. Music is deeply personal [...]

The last three month’s have been a whirlwind. I cranked out another issue of GravyBoy, Helped 64 kids pass their end of course exams, and…wait….
I think that’s it.
Doesn’t sound like too much. But I feel like I did a whole lot more. But no…not really. Granted each of those two activties [...]
