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

la villa de loco

Friday, June 29th, 2007

I’m about to wrap up my week in Crazy Town…just in time to spend a month in La Villa de Loco.
Tonight I’m backing up the guy whose album I’ve been helping out with all week while he plays at a coffee shop. I vaguely remember the chords to 3 songs. I’m sure it’ll [...]

to those who care: my week in crazy town

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Is it only Wednesday?
I feel like I’ve crammed in two weeks in the last two days. Monday started off pretty normal, but I got a call from my friend Rob who was looking to get me involved in recording an album he’s producing for a guy we know. So, of course, [...]

post con

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Last weekend was our trip to the convention in Charlotte. This is the first year that I’ve been able to make the trip pay for itself by doing commissions while at the show. I actually had to draw at night at the hotel (which is a first).
One of the things that [...]

bumblebee trouble

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Marty is stirring up trouble and incriminating us all with his YouTube commentary about the upcoming Transformer’s movie treatment of Bumblebee. Consider it an experiment in how quickly YouTube comments turn into an irrational hate-fest. (He has had to delete several comments that were just…over the top)

New vs Old

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

For the last 4 months I’ve been in an ongoing email-debate with someone who could be described as what’s been dubbed the “New Atheist.” The newness of their atheism isn’t their argument but their attitude. The public faces of this branch of atheism comes from those such as Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and [...]

lightsaber time – more animation

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I’ve started getting a little into animating. (Very little as you can probably tell…it’s not that good.) These little stick figure drawings are pretty simple using my tablet and stylus…and hopefully I’ll get the hang of it more and more as I go on.
I was just making this up as I went along, [...]

in the news…

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I was going to rant and rave about a particular story that’s been in the forefront of American mainstream news of late, but instead I think I can best express my thoughts on the matter this way.

3rd grade memories

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Nearly every day I pass by the elementary school where I was sent for the 3rd grade. Yesterday I was in a particularly nostalgic mood remembering Mrs. Cook and her class. Mrs. Cook was the kindest teacher I ever remember having. Which might be due in part to the fact that her [...]

the cold war

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Sarah and I are currently having a temperature war that can best be described as follows:
Sarah

Me

I get grumpy and irritable when I get hot in the summer. Sarah keeps trying to put the thermostat way up and I keep putting it way down. It’s only June 6th. Stay tuned to see [...]

Today I was asked the question: How is your walk with Christ?
For a moment, I hesitated to answer for several reasons. First, I’m rarely asked that question. Second, That’s one of those areas where I managed to slip through the Christian sub-culture without being programmed with the Christianese response. Consequently, the question [...]
