My Space is where I am when I'm there...or here?

I decided to continue to try and post on this blog instead of MySpace. I will maintain my MySpace account and you can go there and if you are signed up make me your friend...That would be fancy. But I have to much on my plate to maintain two blogs.
Sarah sent me the best email. Thank you Sarah hed. I really hope it works out!
We just got back from one of our clients and have a little bit of duckets to show for our hard work...It feels good. Tomorrow we meet with a new client do create their logo. This particular client is the ex-president of the company I recently quit from. He is starting his own new company. It's still so cool to me the way the world works. If this keeps up BigWhistleStudios will be officially a company within the year. Wouldn't that be fun.

my space

I started a My Space account recently to better keep in touch with people. Here is my address:
http://www.myspace.com/bigwhistlestudios
Check it out. A lot of folks I know are up on there...Perhaps yall know them too. I will try to still post on here but it may not be as often. It's hard to post on two blogs.

Ahh Saturday

Isaac recently went to China. He returned around Tuesday sometime. I just saw him and his brother for the first time since before he left. He got me a present from his trip. I now own the live action version of Devil Man! For those of you who don't know Devil Man is an old Japanese cartoon about people and demons and possession and violence and crazy fun stuff. Well the live action version is in Japanese with the option of Chinese subtitles so I can't understand it. But, I put it on in the background and sorta watched most of it any ways. Mediocre CG & effects. Probably not worth hunting down...Unless you are a fan of the cartoon and want to see how they made it all look. I mean well... It's better than suffering from accutane side effects, which looks like what some of the demons in the movie are doing. I still enjoyed it even though I don't know what they're saying...I got to see friggn' Devil Man fighting with cheese demon characters! Plus it was a fitting gift and that makes me fell more understood...I really like that.

OH YEA!

Ilona and I We're talking about life last night and made a great discovery. For the first time in either of our lives we are making a living....I mean all of our income is coming from creative ventures. WOW! That's friggn awesome.

Posts

Sorry about the barrage of posts. My blog link posting gig requires a separate post and paragraph for each link now. Ahh well, just more to be creative about. Plus this helps to relate some more obscure thoughts to you all thru this blog thingamajig.

Legaleeze

Those of you who know me know I don't deal well with tax forms and other items of paper that involve legaleeze (the language of law). Reading or otherwise dealing with these documents makes me sleepy. I need to perhaps find some kind of vioxx lawyer (vioxx is a painkiller that has a recall going on) to fight for me in this world of dollars and forms. The reason this is on my mind is due to the large amount of contract work I've participated in latly. I mean really, how much of everything is deductable?

Heavy Metals

So I've been thinking of how to get this ring fixed. According to the silver market, platinum is up by like 12+%. OUCH! I'm just gonna have to go hunting for jewelery places and ask questions. Also the ring is some kind of antique so I don't know if beefing it up and getting it sized will affect its value... Although that does'nt matter to me really I guess....It's not like I'm gonna try and sell it ever.

Jewelry

I have a very special ring that my father gave to my mother. It is platinum with a diamond. I don't know what the setting is. My mom loved this ring. In fact she wore it so much that the band is thin at the back. I need to find a place that can not only size it for my girl, but also beef up the band. I don't know if I should look at a place that sells diamond stud earrings or a jewelry repair place. I don't really have the funds to drop on it but I need to do something before July.

Marketing insight

If you were ever curious about Search Engine Marketing you could look into companies like usweb.com. They company that funds my internet purchasing with blog links. Blog links are found by the fancy lil' googlebot. See google's search engine is populated by the googlebots who look for links instead of content. The more links that go to your site the higher you are on the google list...At least I think that's how it works.

The rain in Spain...I'm in Portland.

We've been working on Ideas for our wedding invites but with our freelance gig coming to a climax(meaning lots of work), plus or regular other jobs, we haven't had much time. Drawings of flowers are sort of a concept we've been playing with. Ilona has a thing for gardenias.
Once upon a time there was a man and a woman. The man went and got the woman some valentines day flowers and they did it...They humped. Then around November the woman gave birth to a baby boy. I could go into detail about how the boy was to large to exit the small woman...But that doesn't seem necessary.

70 degrees and sunny

OH MY GAWD THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm near San Diago and the weather is of course perfect. I luv the weather in souther cali but not the social climate type stuff. I don't know if I can explain it well...The environment has a similar thing Minneapolis had for me...It makes me feel kind of trapped and closed in. But DAMN the weather is nice. Hello all from Sothern Cali!

So Isaac and I went to this comic geek get together last night. It was fun. A lot of folks who create comics more than a lot of folks who are just fans. Half a house full of comic artists and writers... It was almost like being in Minneapolis. But with out knowing anyone there except Isaac. Anyway, Otha, Dom perhaps if either of you make it out this way we could partake of the adventure together... With Isaac of course. So yall better hurry cause he's moving to China at the end of summer.
I leave on an air-o-plane in about an hour to fly to luv-ly southern cali to participate in the celebrations of Ilona's grammses birfday party. It should be fun. I 'm considering telling a dirty joke to her...Not pig in the mud dirty but SUNDAY DIRTY.
Oh and I'm leaving my computer at home...FREEDOM!!!
See ya'

Did it!

I did it... I striped our poor x-mas tree naked. I cut off all of its branches. I'm thinking about morphing it into some sort of earthly coat rack. I just couldn't throw it away...Not after all of the humiliation it suffered. Besides it's a cheap fun project.
Oh, I've also been doing web design at a place for about a week now. It's part time contract work but it may turn out to be something good. In case yall hadn't heard, I quit my job at TIS. No more arrow keys for this guy. Not for 8 hours in a friggin row anyway. Now I hit many keys... and I get to even use a mouse. I need to call Keegs...Because out of all the people I know he's the one who can sympathize the most with how I feel about web design. I miss ready access to friends. But then again it was like 50 degrees here today...and it was lovely. It's a hard trade off but aside from the financial stress right now I am very happy and sane. Both things I dig have'n in myself.
The rain on my head is a baptism.
Oh yea' I rode the bus finally! They still use those old paper transfers here. And the fare doesn't change depending on the time of day. I live 5 to 20 minutes from a $2 theater depending on when the bus comes. And the theater happens to be the same place as the arcade with crazy Japanese import video games that only cost a nickel! Damn this city is good for me.
