So that giant Gundam statue I blogged about a while ago is now half completed.  Check out the pics below to see how its coming along.  A friend of mine made an interesting comment about this statue.  What if aliens were to do a fly by, see the robot, and think, ‘ok, they’re ready.’  Just [...]

Hey kids, it’s your friend Friendly Plastic!

March 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Friendly Plastic. Now I know the name doesn’t sound so good. In fact, if misconstrued it might sound kind of dirty for some reason. Alas, it’s name will always be Friend Plastic and Friendly Plastic is my friend. What is Friendly Plastic you ask? Friendly Plastic is a non-toxic moldable and remoldable plastic. Actually, its [...]

Went to the price is right today. Wow, I’m depleated of energy after all that yelling and screaming. If you have never been to TPIR, you must go! It was much smaller inside than I imagined.

Weekends

November 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Weekends seem to come and go rather quickly around these parts. I haven’t had much time to work on my writing, however I’ve had some things bouncing around my head lately and starting to take some form. I’m just trying to figure out which format I should take with it. Any ideas?

Long Days and Short Nights

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Long days and short nights, that’s become more than one meaning lately.  In other news, I’ve come up with tons of new and creative ideas, however, much time has been lacking…I need to work on that. It’s rather strange when someone introduces themselves to me as a tattoo artist, then go on to say that [...]

Been A While

May 19th, 2008 · No Comments

So, it’s been about a month since the last time I posted.  I really would like to update this more frequently, and I plan on doing so, but work has been taking it out of me.  Waking up at 5:30am every morning, then getting home at 6:30 in the evening has been taking it’s toll [...]

Modern Rambo

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

As I stood outside smoking my cancer stick, a homeless man walked past.  Being polite, I gave him a head nod and he responded by saying, “I’m a modern Rambo,” in a deep voice sounding like he had just gargled with Hydrogen Peroxide and razor blades.  What does one say to this?  I gave him [...]

I should be in bed

April 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s 10pm, do you know where your kids are?  Fortunately for me, I don’t have kids yet, but my parents now know where I’m am at 10pm, home and in bed.  I’m getting old.  Not like, “ohhh, woe is me, I’m sooo old…” because I’m really not that old.  I think I’m just getting old [...]

I Got Quoted

April 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

I would’ve written about this sooner, but I was out in Vegas at CTIA.  I got quoted on fandango.com about my opinion of Leonardo DiCRAPio doing Titanic 2 – Electric Boogaloo.  Check it out here.
