It’s been three months since he passed on to the next part of life. Three months of sadness, grieving, and longing for something that quite simply is no longer. I miss my Dad’s voice, I miss his humor, I miss walking into my Mom’s house and seeing him sprawled out on the floor in front of his TV, and most of all I just miss his presence. I hope it’s been better for you Dad because it is really hard without you.
This here brush…I tell you. I used it for like the last three years to coat all my work in high gloss medium. It was one of those crappy brushes from a six dollar set of brushes. I used it to mix paint too. This brush was a beater. It lived a life much greater than it’s intended purpose. It’s bristles were all fused with medium, like a glossy wad of prickly hair. I used to get bored and peel the medium off of the individual bristles. I threw it away…I hate throwing stuff away. Maybe a homeless guy will dig it out of my dumpster and paint something sweet.
For all those who are no longer. America’s gone get them oil interests secured! I will think positive thoughts for all those grieving today, as I will need some in a few days when it’s my turn to grieve.
this weekend was kind of cool. I had a bomb cheese steak, painted a little, and had dinner on Sunday at my mom’s house. Also after removing every single curse word from my site…I now have Google Adsense ads running! I have a mouth like a sailor so I will have to edit like mad.
Now I aint no swing dancer…but this makes me wish I was (for about a minute and 55 seconds). Dick Robinson And His Makebelievers – The Boppin’ Martian – Gibo Miban Gibo – Go Man Go…um this is pretty awesome for 58, I mean whatever my perspective is forever warped by a million things (some I know everything of others I know nothing of) and for all I know everything was in some way this cool in 58…blah I guess you had to be there. It’s a pretty cool song. I listened to it and thought “man… that’s awesome,” and everybody who can, should listen. Some weirdo somewhere decided he felt exactly the same and with great vigor matched the song up to some 60’s Mar’s Attacks trading cards (?) but it’s better than nothing so god bless the weirdos and god bless YouTube and the internets. Now dance like a monkey!
It’s so damn good, and there’s 5 CD’s! Lots of cool old music, all about fearing atomic devastation from those damn commies.

My aunt sent me an email and it was this monkey with a wig on talking out her message. I am sure this sort of crap has been around forever but it was pretty damn funny. So funny it led to me creating like five different monkeys until I created the perfect one.
Tell me that isn’t the creepiest crap you’ve ever seen!
So I have acquired one of my highly sought after vinyl goodies. Although he was not the exact color way I was after, I learned to love him. The Bigoted Miser is by Sin & Wombat… I never really have been attracted to any of their toys but these dudes are way too gangster. KEEP MONEY!
I’m no expert but my guess is he is an awesome take on the classic Kanegon, who is a coin purse monster, he keeps money.
Well I’ve finally sort of gotten a grip on things as far as my dad goes… I mean at least long enough to get some pictures up for people to see and stuff. I know it is like more than two months later, but it is way hard to look thru all the pics.
Here is video from his Military Honors.
God I hate Mondays
I know I said I’m trying to cut down on the vinyl intake/paper output but stuff like this keeps me up at night…
This thing is too f-in’ sweet! I am so about to pull the trigger…
now up and running. Integrated an awesome Flickr plugin, cannot express how awesome it is.
