I honestly think that I could be okay with listening to nothing but Eluveitie for the rest of the forseeable future. I honestly have never loved a band, or a particular song or even genre half as much as I love them. I am prone to exaggeration, I admit, but I'm really not this time. Holy dick. And they are just as amazing live as they are on

I had a very, very amazing weekend.

I arrived at Brian's in Aliquippa shortly before 2, and then we headed off to Cleveland.  It was a pleasant drive--good weather, no construction and average traffic.  We got to our hotel (the Marriott) sometime between 3:30 and 4, and discovered that we've been upgraded, apparently.  So, for $100 we got this ( Read more... )

This is going to be a good year.

For whomever doesn't really know my system of beliefs, etc., yesterday was the traditional New Year.  I don't see it as a new calendar year, such as Jan. 1, but a sort of spiritual new year.  A time of cleansing and rebirth, etc.  I have a very huge list of things to "accomplish" for this coming year.  I feel very ( Read more... )

I completed two paintings today!  You can see one of the paintings beneath the cut. Sorry for the fuzzyness; taken with my camera phone.

From a legal standpoint, the next 5 hours and 45 minutes are the last moments of my childhood.

At midnight, I will be 21.

21 years without a single use of drugs of any sort outside of medicine, 21 years without a single moment of drunkenness, 21 years of reasonable virginity, 21 years without a felony, misdemeanor, detention, pink slip, or even ( Read more... )

Taking time out of studying for Latin, I have just a quick little rant.

Why. The. Fuck. Does. It. Matter. What. Size. Models. Are.

Yes, there are skinny models.  Yes, there are models who may be too skinny.  And, yes, some plus-size models may not seem adequately "plus-size" to the average heavier woman.  But why the fuck are there so many ( Read more... )

Existing is a very strange activity.

Sometimes, the only thing we really need is a long walk in the rain in the company of someone who was, at the beginning of the day, almost a stranger.   I will never cease to be amazed by how much we can learn about ourselves from people who, in all reality, do not know us at all, and by how much of ourselves remains hidden from those around us for ( Read more... )

You know how some days just suck and seem to drag on forever, for no apparent reason?  Today's definitely been one of those days.  Granted, I've gotten a good amount of stuff accomplished, and hopefully all of this time-nonsense will play to my advantage tonight painting, but holy dick, guys.  Just holy dick ( Read more... )

Super short update, because I don't like how it says "Last updated 2 weeks ago" on my homepage.

1.  Opened an art exhibit in downtown Charleston.  It is, in theory, a permanent exhibit, but I will be changing out the pieces monthly.  Sold a piece of art on the exhibit to the owner of the store as soon as he saw it, so that's exciting.  The rest of ( Read more... )
