let's see.... cool stuff thats happened. .. .
well, a couple of weeks ago... this HUGE thunder storm was here.. HUGE. the only problem was, i was outside running, as usual.
i'm used to running in adverse forms of weather. . . but this was just... death. i'm running on the side of some canal, right? well, i get to about the end of the thing when i see this lightning bolt strike about a couple of miles ahead of me - which told me to turn around. physically... spiritually.. however it was done, this bolt communicated with the core of my body that it was time to turn around, or die.
so i turn around.. and run with my fate in the hands of my will... and legs. now, i'm literally trying to outrun this thunder storm. i keep seeing all of these bright blue flashes around me... accompanied with the continuous sounds of a fat guy diving with reckless abandon into the end of a bowling lane.
i don't notice any lightning in front of me... only the encouragment of light from behind... ofcourse it's raining. i'm having a great time, making strange noises each time i sense the feeling of death in certain flashes of lighting... but don't get me wrong - i'm surrounded by trees, telephone poles, and the occasional street light. there's no screwin' around.
as it turns out, i got home in one uncharred piece... you could see the rain from the clouds in the distance actually falling - rather than just those clouds with the saggy tentacle stuff goin' on. it looked like a sheet of feathery dirt just sliding down in the distance.... cool stuff.

okay.... anybody love going outside at like, 1am... or 4... or something like that?
i just can't get enough of the late night atmosphere... i went outside last night.. and the first thing i notice is how dark the shadow of the house is.. the moon is FREAKIN' bright.. which is actually a couple of levels above just your average 'bright'. not a cloud or person in sight.
it's just the moon, a street light or two... and all these stars..
i'm doing whatever it is that ninjas do at this hour... just keeping myself up to date on how my kicks and whatever are doing these days... no actual 'hard' training.. it just wouldn't feel right this night.. i resist spitting if i get the urge.. just so i don't disturb the magic that seems to settle itself on the moonlit sidewalks of the night..
good stuff... i saw what i'd like to think was a shooting star (because, in all actually truth, i don't have an absolute knowledge of what it actually was...). it makes me wonder if anybody else saw it.. you know? things like that'll get you thinking.
good stuff...

alright... so i'm gonna post those pirate pictures i drew for those guys over at arcana studios.. nothing special.. browsing their website.. i notice our tastes sorta conflict. they're more into 'horror' stuff.. so i drew a more horror-esque picture, cause they'd probably like it more then my weird tastes.. but.. whatever
first one- (colored pencils... and a .5 pen... i think it was .5)
and.. with a little color scheme change- (just playin' with some scanner options..)
and. . . the other one. it's composition is a little better- (pen and red marker)
