He was a really cool guy, very down to earth.  <br />

Police are still trying to figure out if it was a intentional suicide or not.  It was her boyfriend's gun and they were in the middle of a fight when it happened.  I got to tell you, I'm shocked but not suprised.  Girls, if he's abusive than you gotta leave his loser-ass!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <strong>Listening to</strong>: Brian Setzer Tribute to Sun Records<br /><br />I finally got a chance to do some browsing tonight, once you sift through all the animae stuff (that all looks the same to me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> ) I came across some really cool stuff out there. <br />
<br />
I'm sittin' here trying to be quiet since the computer is still in Domi's room (my 10 month old).  Man, baby's are freakin' CUTE when they sleep!  Why do they stick their butts up in the air though?  Hmmm.  He "talks" and laughs in his sleep too which is just WAY too funny!  His brother didn't do that stuff that often. <br />
<br />
Well I hear that September 10th is "no gas day."  We're all not supposed to get gas in order to "stick it to the man" for the raising prices...hmmm....sounds a bit silly to me, but if the prices keep goin' up not buying gas won't just be a choice.  :\  And man I hate walkin', guess I gotta find some way to get really rich really fast!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" />  Any ideas? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <strong>Listening to</strong>: 13 Cats<br /><strong>Watching</strong>: X-Men II<br /><br />Had a migrane today so I took the meds  that the doc gave for them,,,sure it  got rid of the pain, but now I'm  feeling like I might narf <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/puke.gif" width="24" height="15" alt=":puke:" title="I think I am going to PUKE!" /> !  I can't  win, man.<br />
<br />
My hand's heeling pretty well from the  Carpal Tunnel Surgery last week.  The  PT hurts, & I get a lot of those aweful  tingly's all the way up my arm, but  another couple weeks should have me  back to "normal."  I took a shot of the  stitches, I'm just too sick to deal  with posting it at the moment though.<br />
<br />
Sucks that the search ain't workin'  here DA! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /> I tell ya, I'm thinkin' about  gettin' a server & puttin' together  another sight that would have a larger  bandwidth and more options for payin'  folks, but it might just end up as just  that,,,a thought.  We'll see.  I'd have  to sweet talk <a href="http://hossbud.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> to help out, since  he's the computer friar! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Welp, gotta lay down, might barf!  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <strong>Listening to</strong>: Hound Dog Taylor (Natural Boogie)<br /><strong>Reading</strong>: The Disciples of Christ "A History"<br /><strong>Watching</strong>: Just saw House of Wax<br /><br />Welp, I got my CTS surgery done  yesterday so I'm typing with one hand!   My right hand is throbbin' pretty good  too, man!  And the worst thing is that  they only gave me T-3's!  I wanted  perks!!!  I might have to call the doc &  beg man, cuz these things make me  pretty sick.  What's worse is that I  can'r draw ANYTHING until this all  heals up! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  (I know, you're thinkin'  that I can't draw anyway,,,but it still  makes me happy,,,kind of...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> )<br />
<br />
I got out & saw House of Wax today, man  it was freakin' messy!  I enjoyed  seein' Paris Hilton gettin' a spear  through the skull, but aside from that  it was alot of un-needed gore.  But  hey, I just go for the popcorn anyway  so I still win! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Pick up the new Queens of the Stone Age  if you're into desert/stoner/doom rock,  it kicks ass!  And if you're into  Christian rockabilly (strange combo I  know) check out The Found Cats.   They're at <a href="http://www.gollygeerecords.com">[link]</a>, as well as some  AWESOME secular rockabilly as well.<br />
<br />
Well enough of me ramblin,' get back to  your cameras and sketchpads and get  creative!<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <strong>Listening to</strong>: Lullabies To Paralyze<br /><strong>Reading</strong>: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters<br /><strong>Watching</strong>: Bone Collector<br /><br />Welp, another day in lovely state of  Mary-Land.  <br />
<br />
A little kid sneazed a BIG-ASS snot  blob right on my little 5 month old  baby's head (it was f**kin' NASTY!!!!),  now both of the kids are sick <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" />.  Kids  are gross, man,,,filthy as hell; and  this is comin' from a guy who'll wear  the same jeans until someone tells me  to change them cuz they reek!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /> I just  don't get it?  <br />
I especially don't get the lack of  ethics in todays buisness world, but  that's WHOLE nother deal.<br />
Speakin' of sneazes, I was at the store  tonight & I walk into someone's  sneaze!!!!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" />  I didn't hear it, nobody  was around, but it had that nasty cloud  that's unmistakably "sneaze breath!"   So I guess now I wait to see what I  come down with,,,God help me.... <br />
<br />
Anyway, I just found out my uncle had a  heart attack & nobody botherd to call  until he was home from the hospital  AFTER a surgery (yeah, I'm a little  upset about that!) & one of my cousins  is bleeding after her baby was born  (like 2 weeks ago) but they don't where  it's coming from!!!  Hmm!  Doctor's  degree or not, someone has to graduate  at the absolute BOTTOM of their class &  I'm sure I find them ALL!<br />
<br />
Until next time, stay dry,,,and please  wear clean underwear in case you're in  an accident...<br />

To hell with it, I figure if I'm gonna  buy a house for like 30k more, then I'm  just gonna sink 30k into my place and  do some serious renovations! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  So I've  been off for a few days doin' some  "small" things before I get crews in  here.  I gotta tell you though, there's  no such thing as "small" when it comes  to a house built in the 20's!  I look  like a powderd doughnut (mmm,  doughnuts,,,,aahhlll <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> ) from sanding  skim coat in my room.  ANYWAY, I'm  gonna be painting a mural in there, so  if it comes out lookin' better than a  3rd grad art project, I'll post it.  By  the way, HERMANO's got a "new" cd out  too, I just ordered it from  allthatsheavy.com.<br />
<br />
Pax!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, after a VERY long day we finally  have another little boy, Dominic James!   Only, he's not so little as far as  newborns are concerned, but I won't  hold that against him.  After all, he's  gonna need the extra beef to handle his  big brother and his dog.  <br />
<br />
I can't even tell you how connected I  feel to him already, I didn't wanna  leave the hospital but we have a dog  that needs lookin' after etc...  He is  quite the little blessing after this  very long, hard day.  Praise God that  he's doing so well!  I pray with  everything I have in me that he  continues to do well!  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Man!  Still nuthin'!  mia moglie (Gwen)  is already like 3 days late with our  2nd little boy Dominic (yes, he's alive  even though we can't see him yet) and  she's way miserable!  Adding to it, is  that I gotta get up at 6am (I work late  afternoons/nights) tomorrow to go see  if we can either get'm outta there  tomorrow, or make an appointment for  tuesday (God willing).  <br />
<br />
And of course, I already feel like  crap,,,more than usual that is <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sniff.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sniff:" title="Sniff" />, which  means the beginning of November is  gonna be a beast!  At least I still  have my addictions which comfort me,  1928 prayer book <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pray.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" />, caffine, green tea,  the bass, sketch book (I totally  destroyed a "cartoon" of Setzer today  that I was planning to do on a  velvet!), cameras, and my little guy  Cenzo,,,who had a 10 foot attitude  problem today... Hmmm, he's gonna be  just like me, God help me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohmygod.gif" width="26" height="18" alt=":ohmygod:" title="OMG!" />  <br />
<br />
Oh well, there's always pizza, and  popcorn I guess...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/popcorn.gif" width="25" height="35" alt=":popcorn:" title="Popcorn" />  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmm.  Just when I thought I could no  longer be shocked by ignorance, I come  across a few ridiculously ignorant  catch phrases like, war is not the  answer, and so on.  I suppose thats  true if were talking about a next door  neighbor who keeps letting his dog crap  on your rose bush, or maybe even  setting the school bully right,  although most times theyre  UNREASONABLE.  Which brings me to the  point, when were dealing with a  world-view thats fundamentally opposed  to our own in such a way that it  demands the violent extermination of  all other world-views, reasoning can no  longer be a viable option.  <br />
<br />
In fact, were left with only a few  options: 1) do nothing and slowly be  exterminated or completely absorbed  into this hostile world-view, 2)  constantly live on the defensive, and  eventually end up being exterminated or  absorbed into the hostile world-view,  or at best, be forced to witness  countless numbers of our own civilians  being murdered on our own soil for the  rest of our existence, or 3) do  whatever we can to exterminate the  hostile world-view!  One thing is  certain, reasoning with people who WILL  NOT be reasoned with (UN-reasonable) is  not an option.  To borrow a phrase from  my mother when I was kid, talking to  your father is like talking to a wall,  but to be sure, her reasoning with  him had better results than attempting  to reason with the unreasonable.  The  results would be worse than talking to  walls, since the wall wont attack you  while you waste time talking.  <br />
<br />
Of all the pie-in-the-sky crap that I  hear from tree-hugging  pacifist-extremists, Ive yet to hear  another suggestion on how to handle  such opposition; put up or shut up,  as the old saying goes.  And hearing  about how bad life is from spoiled  goth and punk posers whos  depression is self-imposed and whos  biggest problems are slow computers or  scanners with too little resolution  just makes me physically ill.  <br />
<br />
The war is still being kept on someone  elses front door, which is exactly  what it is intended to do.  True, its  inevitable that itll make its way here  unless total genocide is considered and  our boarders closed completely, which I  shudder to think of, but for now we can  experience a twisted kind of carnal  peace.  Our mistake is complacency;  soft-America has allowed herself to be  lulled back to sleep by our $20 movie  tickets, I-pods, computers, reality tv,  internet porn, black hair dye and  eye-liner, and of course, Hollywood  political scientists who are even more  ignorant of the average American life  then the real politicians.  To let  John Mellancamp or Jon Bon Jovi advise  you on an appropriate chord progression  or scale to put across a particular  emotion is one thing, but to let them  sway your choice for a political leader  is just flagrant stupidity.  Believe it  or not, Manson is not the best place to  go for your world-news, but at least he  has his lunchbox and is armed real  well.  <br />
<br />
Ignoring the state of things is no  longer a luxury that Americans can  afford.  Wake up, get your shit  together, get off the bandwagon you  might be riding, get informed by a  variety of sources, choose your side  and ride it out; and yes, moral  character is indeed essential to ALL  leadership positions.  <br />
<br />
And by the way, 2 quick facts: 1) if  everyones doin it, its no longer  original. <br />
2)  Dont join the military for the  college benefits unless youre willing  and prepared to go to war, after all,  that IS what the military is for. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> ]]></description>
