every day is a fresh start

I've decided that in an attempt to get my shit together, I would turn my "blog" into something much more than my typical rants and raves about everyday life. I'm going to start posting writings, drawings, excerpts from readings, photos, and other nonsense in hopes of getting myself back into the habit of being creative. I have a degree in Art. I might as well show it in some form. Of course this "showing" method won't really happen until I fix my computer...but all in due time. My installation disk is in the mail en route to me as we speak, and the moment it touches my hands my computer will be healed and I will be able to share things with the world.

Some things to look forward to...
I will be sharing a table with the incredible Amanda Clark at this years holiday sale. I'm undecided as to exactly what I will be selling...but I can almost guarantee winter hats will be among the things to buy.
paintings and drawings.
Lots of giraffe related things...can't get enough of them.
the pathetic dealings I refer to as my life.
inventions of some sort.

i'm realizing that right now is the time when i can do anything i want. i have nothing holding me back. and everything requires some kind of effort and i have to stop being a pussy and start putting myself out there if i want to make something of my life. so lets do this.

Sandra's seen a leprechaun
Eddie touched a troll
Laurie danced with witches once
Charlie found some goblins' gold
Donald heard a mermaid sing
Susy spied an elf
But all the magic I have known
I've had to make myself
