So you're saying 3jane doesn't look like his picture... good. (BTW, most people have assumed on my pic that I'm the guy on the left. That is wrong.)
Well, we theoreticallly could have a drawing group in a local park, but at this time of year it's rather nippy, and the model just might get arrested. On top of that, they generally frown on alcohol and other creative intoxicants on city property in the presence of children (not that anyone in Atlanta uses intoxicants of any sort.)
This artistic funk is serious. It's one of those "under pressure" things, where big deadlines loom. I've got people telling me how much they anticipate my next amazing work in "The Painter WOW" book, and I got NUTHIN, man... NUTHIN.

i can't be friends with people who have no respect for women.. so... he's out! When I lived in Los Angeles, I fucking hated it. I have to say that I hated pretty much everything about the city, from the tips of its dying palm trees to the crust under the fingernails of the insufferable young white actors.

You are the fucking MAN.
It is actually MASK OF THE GREAT DECEIVER that kicked ass. Worth the entire rest of the album. Probably the kind of song I listen to now and say "what was I smoking to think this was so great?"
Your fu is simply outstanding, sir.
AND AMAZON has a freakin' clip of it! Winds of Change
I already done ordered it. Will torture you with it when it arrives. Teach you to fu in my direction...

Sometimes music like that just.. fits. Better than any cheerful music ever would.
I like to walk around this city with my friends late at night, write captions on photographs I take, cook, read, drink fancy martinis, and think about the future. I like to camp in forests, swim in lakes, and live on the west coast. I like to learn (especially Latin, even though it's somewhat intimidating), dream, and cuddle.
I.. yeah, that's about it right now. I'm in school full-time and I work twenty-odd hours a week. That's what I actually do.
Is that a sufficient answer?

Spirituality and Violence, or 'why are hippies such angry people?'
I think that most people have a very flowers and blue-sky idea about what "spiritual" means. They assume that fighting and violence are somehow anti-spiritual, as if the goal of humanity should be to wind up like Gandhi or Dr. Martin Luther King. I think those two are great and admirable men, and I love...

1. yes, I know. I like it, too. But it's been on for 12 hours now.
2. He likes the bitch.
3. But harder and, personally, I prefer most rpgs to FF.
4. Absolutely. I have neither.

I'm really looking forward to FFXII, actually. It'll be more like Chrono Trigger in a few ways, which is my favorite game of all time. No more random battles.
Hit me up through my profile, and I'll lace you with tracks from Mike Relm, the DJ who owned the party last Friday night. I've got his Christmas Special CD, and phasers are set to "distribute."
It's daaamn good. Hes a nice guy, too. Weve been corresponding a little bit since the show.

actually, i start every conversation that way..
So I was chatting with a friend last night, and the topic of good sex/bad sex came up. I confessed that the last sex I had was pretty damn disappointing.
What makes sex good or bad for you? For me, it's three things: connection, openness/freakiness, and relaxation/fun.
There's these performance neuroses men carry around that really fuck with their heads and ruin what could otherwise...

yeah, in answer to your comment yesterday, we should get coffee together some day. if we could get past the weirdness of meeting a virtual friend face to face, then i bet we'd pass the hours quickly with our chat-chat-chattering.
weird, but i have to tell someone. i went to the gym over lunchtime. i ran for half an hour, and then i got in the shower and shaved the kitty. it didn't take long, and now she's pretty. softee.
yeah, i just needed to share. do you think that was weird to do at the gym? they're industrial showers, designed for multi-use, but is that really a pro or really a con?
hey, you are going to inform me when you next plan to visit this place, right?

I have to tell you that other than the party on Friday, the seminar was pretty dissapointing. It was cool to hang around so many artists, do a little life drawing and watch some talented pros work, but there was exactly zero instruction. I learned a couple of nifty tricks and shortcuts for illustrating in Photoshop, but at $150.00 a day? On a scale of...

I shall look at the art, and ponder your ex-girlfriend-situation, as soon as I can. For now, I must sleep so that I can get on a plane at some ungodly hour tomorrow.
Oh, and what the hell ever happened with pseudorandom kiss girl?

Spirit Warriors have three great treasures: simplicity, patience, and compassion.
That sign used to hang in the room where I learned how to fight. Had my instructor been at the party I was at tonight, the sign might have listed the three treasures as Hennesy, California DJs, and Naughty Nurses.
What am I on about? Ill tell you; the Black Baby Jesus apologized to me...

I'm not a snob, I just don't like stuff that sucks!
I'm right on the verge of a great joke about vacuum cleaner aficionados, but I just don't have the ganas to seal the deal on it.

Oh, and how do I check out Coro?
These guys is hella good.
I'm inspired and humbled; and I'm learning. (Does the Cabbage Patch)
Michael Hussar is a stud, and I like the tenor of his speaking voice. He soothes us, precious.
I wish you could see the paintings (all portrait studies) that he has up for show at the conference. (And, if you possess buhDASS ninja remote-viewing powers, you can. Click...

I know nothing of the program, but that's a nice layout they've got there.
Good luck with the hobbing and the nobbing and all.
