Jeezus - I've learned so much and still have so far to go (rejoining the human race, right?). Anyway, I'll be trying to write it down in the journal and commit it to memory, since there is now a plus two-week blank spot....

Restart

I'm not starting anything that hasn't been started before, but perhaps I can get away with saying that I've restarted what has been started before to see what new starts may arise.

I guess that means that, after getting back from California and spending the last two weeks with my parents in Tennessee, I'm ready to start traveling again. Plans include Chicago (MegaBus runs from Memphis to there!), Detroit, and then a two-week, semi-cross-country extravaganza with a person I met on the way to New York and whatever other friends may come along.

There's more stuff in the Journal section (there's usually a new post about every week or so). I put two more short, short pieces in the Stories section, since I'm experimenting with those while trying to get published (people may be more likely to read your work when it's super-short). Doodles and Reading have fallen on the wayside for the moment (I need to find a scanner for more pictures, and I've been too lazy to dig up and post some of my older annotations).

My Twisted Tale project has come to a screeching halt since the end of May, but that's fine, since I'm moving that site to WordPress, where I may have more capabilities for what I want to do. However, I still won't pass up the chance to make you feel guilty for not yet contributing if you haven't yet done so. Yeah, I hope you feel rotten, because when you think about it, we're all just rotting anyway to different degrees. Well, I've said my uplifting piece for the day - see you in cyberspace, fellow space cadets.

Twisted Tale

I'm taking a little sidetrack as another project period for my MFA program comes to a close. Technically, I'm supposed to have been doing a field study, but circumstances disrupted it somewhat. Part of the field study involves creating a collaborative story with people of all experience levels. You can help me with that story by clicking the new Twisted Tale link above. The post entitled "Help Me Tell A Twisted Tale" on that blog has all the details.

Time Lag

There's more up, although the posts haven't been obeying a linear timeline. My traveling hasn't stopped, but it has slowed a bit - I'm back in New Orleans for most of May and then all of June will be California. After that - well, who can say for sure?

PW

A new bit is up about snipers in Miami. It's dark? I'm working on another one about Pierre/Winston/PW, a bird that lived next to the pink mansion and was the inspiration for my tattoo and more carefree times in Miami. I'll try to post a picture of the tattoo on my doodles page once I find a way to hook up my camera to the netbook that doesn't involve pulling out my SD card with a pair of tweezers.

2011 Trip!?!?

The April trip from Miami to Boston is underway - I'll be trying to keep up with parts of that in the Journal, although I'm already several posts behind. I'm staying another week in Miami because I love this area and still need to get the first part of my tattoo as well as look at places to live. I put my Stories tab back up - so far there's just one short story up about a professional spammer forced to write poetry. Whether you're a crunchy or creamy kind of peanut butter person, thanks for reading.

Happy Holidays!

I've been dealing with a medical emergency for the past week. My journal page is going to focus mostly on making sense of that for however long it takes. I'm writing about it in parts, so the first part now up is about the steps leading up to the diagnosis. I don't feel like doodling for the other pages right now, but we'll have to see how that goes. Wish me luck!

How's it Going?

So not much has changed on my sites for the last few months, but then, a few days back, I found myself mentally shitting the wisdom of centuries (thanks, Blackalicious). I realized I needed more pictures, so I got rid of some sites and added more graphic ones. Here's a breakdown of new stuff:

Doodles - I doubled the amount of pictures, which include a double-duck moustache and a futuristic Pharaoh.

MSquared - This is a new comic that follows the adventures of Marvelous Melvin. It's... weird?

Journal - Still have to update this.

Reading - Basically doubled too - more a way for me to keep track of my annotations for school, but take a look if you're looking for books to read.

Session 3?

Doodles - mind blowing art that rights universal wrongs. I have a modest four pictures so far with a little story behind each one. Feel free to suggest more little stories/pictures in the comments.

Advice - one brilliant reader asked me four questions ranging from the legal issue of time traveling solely to have sex with yourself to recognizing truth. Remember that no questions on your part mean I'll start giving myself advice again. Yes, that is a threat.

Journal - The government helped me pay my rent and my bike was stolen. Also, you should begin training for the Apocalypse.

Book Reviews - three more books as usual and more already read and waiting for review. I also tried to "monetize" this with ads...

Stories - more stuff from my story about a fat kid in the future will be up tomorrow, and part 2 of my old man and his garden gnome story is still in the works but will be there soon.

Just a note - I only post here when I have something new for all five sites, but that doesn't mean that it happens all at once. If you like one of the sites, then follow it to get more up to date updates! Oh yeah, there's another poll question to your right about aliens (oral sex beat cheese in the last poll - scroll down to see past polls). If you've read this far, then turn around. I'm standing there to give you your hug.

Journal - I learn the difference between a GLF and a GILF. I also explore why beer enthusiasts may be more likely to have beards.

Advice - Apparently no one needed any advice, so asked myself a question about the five greatest inventions of all time. Ask me some damn questions!

Stories - I put up part 1 of a story about an old man living with five garden gnomes. Tune in next session for the thrilling conclusion in part 2.

Book Reviews - I have three more books posted up there. If you're interested in writing, then two of the books are craft books. I also have a lot more books coming that I'm almost finished reading.

Thanks for reading - it's good for you!

February 26, 2010

This is what's new for this week on my site:

Journal - you find out what happens when someone decides to jump in Lake Michigan in the dead of winter while I'm running past.

Advice - after tackling the question "what is the best way to eat chicken?" I devote my attention to how to break in to the reality TV scene. If you have any questions that need answering, then post them in the comments of the latest entry.

Stories - Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a fat kid in an overpopulated future or how interstellar entities make predictions? If so, then read parts of my book or my short story called predictions.

Book Reviews - I have six books up there so far, and they range from native American fiction to crazy ass science fiction stories. This is more for you if you're looking for new authors to read, or if you have some book suggestions for me.
