I'm surprised I've made it this far. Hopefully it will just push me over the edge just enough to inspire some crazy art....I can always hope.

Then you start to think about it. Yes you have made some illogical jumps, but look on the bright side, life is so much more fun leaping into the future and taking things as they come. If you sat around and thought about it, there would be no surprises and that’s just boring.
For instance, if I had actually thought logically about my ex-fiancé, and hadn’t moved an hour and a half ferry ride away from my former residence without a job, I would have been totally bored with normality. I wouldn’t have had to go to homeland security and get my fiancé deported for being an illegal immigrant (not to mention ungrateful bastard who was already married), or gotten my old male chauvinistic boss’s corporation under investigation for smuggling, hiring, and harboring illegal aliens. I also would not have discovered that my ex-roommate failed to turn in our paperwork and was planning on leaving me with all the bills, including her eviction, from our former lease. Nor would I have purchased a new puppy who promptly contracted parvo and put me 2 grand in debt with vet bills.
After everything, when you hear the maniacal laughter repeating in the back of your mind, you have to sit back and enjoy the antics. You survived, and you’ll be laughing for years to come.

So I'm being reckless and young and have decided to move to China for a year or two.

Not the common choice for relocation I'm told.
I'm so busy now that I really don't have time nor inspiration for art. But I probably will while living in a foreign country where I don't speak the language and whatnot . . . then again, I might just pass out whenever I'm not in school.
Which leads me to the cool part. The reason for going to said communist country.

Shaolin Kung Fu.

I met a former deciple of the temple. He taught me some really cool things. Somehow Kung Fu just seems really right. It feels good, it feels fun, and it gives me the best state of peace of mind I've ever felt.
Needless to say, when I told my instructer I'd been toying with the idea of training in China, and he invited me back with him for introductions and a little negotiation for better prices; I jumped on it.

How many times have you been invited to another country?

This makes two for me. The first time I didn't go. This time, I'm pretty much being disowned by my parents, but I'm going.

Peace Out USA!

NEXT: Art inspired by 8 hours of kung fu training a day with no English in between ]]> ~Shiba-Aku http://Shiba-Aku.deviantart.com/journal/11540331/ http://Shiba-Aku.deviantart.com/journal/11540331/ Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:49:57 PST
I did finally get a debit card though so at least I can buy shit again (wallet stolen day after thanksgiving, new account opened same day, only received a real method of payment yesterday after completely switching banks . . . ie Bank of America is EVIL in a bad way)

I've been promoted to store manager at the pet store. I got a raise, work more hours, more responsibilities, maybe I'll be able to help out with the accounting books soon. This means my schooling has taken the back seat, although I signed up for ten credits of torture next quarter anyway. Pretty much i don't have a life. And the few times I do get out, I only have enough time to drink the day away and revisit my disappointments in the opposite sex . . .

So sorry for the lack of art and well, anything. Hopefully I will be filled with a mad passion for art again after the cursed holiday season is dead.

there will be more art! I gotsa tablet now and my thumb feels much better. Soon I will actually start working on the comics I have been talking about forever because I am not going to school in the summer YEY!

I broke my thumb this weekend. Apparently I'm not a natural drunken boxer. Can't draw or write and I'm having a hard time moving my mouse around. So probably won't have anything new up for a while.
Now that I'm almost on vacation and have enough time, and inspiration, to work on things, I am disabled.
Sorry guys, just voicing my frustrations.

Now I just feel dried up. Empty and waiting to be filled.
I get little bits of inspiration here and there; artwork for the Tub Ring crew, Suburban Tea comics, aquascaping, sometimes I do homework . . . but mostly I just wait.
This summer I will become a mommy (of a dog not a human thank god) and by next year I have no idea where I will be, but I suddenly have the inspiration to pick up my things and move far far away from the rain.

I'm working on art for Kevin Gibson and Rob Kleiner, lead singer and keyboardist of Tub Ring ie by favorite band. They are doing some solo projects right now and I'm helping out artistically.
It's a dream come true to have people you really admire tell you that you fucking rock and that your artwork rocks. I feel so loved! XD

so most of my posts for a while are going to be related to them. sorry if anyone was hoping for something else. my novel may come back this summer because i'm not taking a writting class and it was partially inspired by Tub Ring . . .
check them out!
