VIbrant Sun!

Took an unexpected trip to Tunnel Hill today and it was worth it. I havent been out there this year and ive been needing to take some new pictures that didnt involve clouds. Great evening to be out in the cool tunnel. Tunnel Hill is part of the Rails to Trails.

This was my last painting, I really need to get back to the brushes and do some new work.

No clouds this morning :(

This my favorite spot to take sky pictures. This small piece of land is on Bethel Church road in Kevil Kentucky. Every morning when the clouds are out and the sun is rising you can bet you will have a photo worth taking.

Morning Sky

UFO's in Nashville

Not really but these sculptures sure do remind me of UFO's. This photo was taken in one of the Nashville, TN malls.

Nature Trailing It!

2010-03-23T19:59:00.004-05:00

I finally got out today and took the greenway trail! I have been waiting for this day since last summer when I got sick from a tick bite. I am not going to let the bugs get to me this year by gosh! Today was so nice and hopefully tomorrow will be just as splendid.

The Artist Struggle

2010-03-15T16:54:00.003-05:00

I never realized how struggling as an artist doesnt just mean struggling financially. I believe we struggle mentally more so than anything else. Some artists struggle for attention and others struggle for recognition. I hate dreary days!

Alice In Wonderland

2010-03-06T08:52:00.002-06:00

What an entertaining movie but I was disappointed to find out it was not the original story at all. Regardless the movie had great visuals! I cant imagine how fun it would be to have been involved in this film. Great stuff.

What a Crappy Blog!

2010-03-02T20:45:00.002-06:00

Wow I must say I suck at Blogging! Microblogging is so much easier plus no one really looks at these blogs! I did do a new painting though (self-portrait!)and I must say I like it!

Grand Rivers Arts and Crafts Festival

Ummm, where did spring go? I swear I remember once upon a time there being this time of year called Spring! It was so nice and cool for a couple months. Nevermind spring is when my allergies attack but still a bit of spring would be nice. Seems like we went from winter to sauna in no time.

The Diet

2008-05-15T11:36:00.000-05:00

So I am putting myself on this diet and let me tell ya it sucks. Everyone knows a diet sucks because ya been used to eating 5 bazillion calories a day, not anymore. So I am slowly pushing myself back to eating right and not snacking. I play disc golf or go walking so thats my form of exercise. Kinda sucks though because I ate a salad for lunch today and well a bag of M&M's went really good with it. I know im trying at least! If I could have an M&M salad id be in heaven probably for real cause id go into a chocolate coma! Ok thats enough for today. Im going to lose weight though I let myself go this winter. Darn holiday foods!

Art Again

2008-05-14T18:57:00.000-05:00

I am finally getting back into the swing of things well as far as art goes! I posted up two of my newest paintings as well: Sub Atomic and Mad Less. I have many more but you can check myspace or my homepage for the others. What else is going on hmmm? Boy the economy sure went to crap lately! That stimulus check is only going to stimulate foreign oil companies because gas is on the rise! So much for helping out our economy. More people are in debt and no one is going to travel for obvious reasons so thanks America for the $300 tax rebate that I am sure you will suck back from me in due time. Thats one good thing about never voting you cant ever blame me for all the crap that this US government gets into. Oh well im done ranting about silly things. Ill be back soon enough unless I get a girlfriend again...NOT. Catch ya soon.

Wow

2008-05-14T13:55:00.001-05:00

Its been almost a year since I posted? I know what happened! I found a gf and then lost contact with the world. Well guess what? Im single again and back at it so watch out cyber world!

I have returneth...

2007-09-26T21:05:00.000-05:00

Thrift Store

2007-08-31T21:33:00.000-05:00

So me and my buddy Angela took a little field trip to the thrift store today. She got some cool shirts and an evil book by L. Ron Hubbard (Dianetics) so I have no plans on knowing her anymore after she reads that book haha. Anyways she also pointed out the NBC cup so I had to get it. The record is a soundtrack to a very oldschool Breakdancing movie.I got the converse hat because I love Converse shoes but I have no idea whose name is on it. 40 cents for all this goodness!

The News and Stuff

2007-08-27T09:30:00.000-05:00

Wow ya know theres something I dont understand about what I see and read about the news. Doctors want you to eat healthier this and that. So why is healthy food so much more expensive? I mean it is ridiculous that a nice salad costs so much more than a cheeseburger and fries. Its all about making money and its at our "healths expense". How many doctors out there REALLY want to see the world healthier? Less doctors visits means less yacts and sports cars for doctors and their kids. It really makes me mad to see that the world puts a price tag on our lives. Its nothing new of course but no one really ever discusses the issue. Doctors do save lives I will not lie or argue especially after my mothers cancer surgery. BUT they send her home with these "healthy" food menus and they are so much more expensive than regular food. I would love to eat healthier but when all the money I have on me is change well thats not going to buy a healthy salad.

How Crappy!

2007-08-25T21:27:00.000-05:00

Today was supposed to be a nice day visiting HIS House in LaCenter. Well, after the roadtrip my friend and I saw that they were closed. SOOOoo, we went on to explore Wickliffe which took about 2.5 seconds of my life. We made it to this place that is across from Wickliffe Mounds and the place has some type of native american name not sure. ANYWAYS, they had these little native american dolls and their skin color was this dark red/brick color. I almost crapped cause thats kinda ummm thats stereotyping or something. I should have bought one but decided not to.

We did find one thing and it was at this far flung flea market place which had a book about microwaving all kinds of food. It was from 1985 and boy did it have some disgusting food in it. Who the hell eats a turkey cooked in the microwave...OH WAIT! The owner of the flea market said he has and that it wasnt bad. Yeah right hello radiation!

So yeah the rest of the day was just randomness. I did manage to cut my nipple shaving my manly chest though so that was somewhat of a highlight. Oh joy I just love life in Paducah, KY!

Well Well

2007-08-25T19:31:00.000-05:00

So this is ilist huh. Cool stuff thats for sure. Good thing the Paducah Sun posted the site or I would never be able to bless this site.
