EVERYTHING BURNS

OK> quick recap of the last year of my life. got a new job at a mortgage company. i don't love it but most of the time i don't hate it. pays better than just about any other job i've ever had so most of the bullshit i have to endure is almost worth it.

tulpa black and i are still together. zucca is a fat-ass and we've changed his food twice. we'll see if it makes a difference. he's a little less of an asshole so i'm thinking the higher-quality food is keeping him fuller longer.

painted the living room orange and are slowly getting it to look like grown-up versions of ourselves live here.

i became obsessed with ironman and started collecting ironman figures and related crap. i now have 18 ironman figures, two plastic cups, one tin sign, a couple ink pens, two helmets (ironman 2) and one light up, talking ironman mask (the avengers). i've gotten more into comics, or, as joe casey calls them "comicbooks" (cue big-ass angry red spellcheck underline) and have been reading quite a few titles, both mainstream (hellblazer, batman, detective, avengers, x-men, x-force, amazing spiderman, etc...) and indie (tank girl, tmnt reboot, lady mechanika, et all).

i have finally decided to write and draw a comicbook myself. that's what i wanted to do for a living before i made the choice to focus on music during my second semester at art school. had i been able to afford SCAD i would have been in their comic program and gotten a degree but i was going to a shitty community college art school in palatks, fl (google it... palatka is a shithole). the comicbook is called "TENSION" and i'm really proud of what i've done so far. just completed pencils for page 10.

i'm still working on music and have two new projects in the works, both heavily electronic, while continuing to write and perform (though not often) as ghostwitch.

put the novel on hold. i'm not abandoning it, but my comic is just way more interesting to me right now. i'm in love with drawing again.

i get up (much to tulpa's chagrin) at 5am everyday. i love that time of morning. everything is quiet and dark and nothing has had a chance to shit on my head yet. a lot of things have been shitting on my head lately, especially this month. but, i quit doing drugs, (with some help) and that is a struggle i face daily. all in all i am getting to be ok with things and becoming more and more productive. i'm on the wrong side of 35 and have to accomplish SOMETHING before i turn 40. i'm on the right path, finally...

Bonfires Burning Bright...

pumpkin faces in the night...
i remember Halloween.

internet has been a shit at the lair, i've been busy and frustrated.
Halloween was amazing.
Tulpa Black and i went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.
on the night of All Hallows Eve we went to Birdies, our favorite bar in riverside where we won a $75 bar tab for our costumes. she as sugar skull-girl and i as the Mexican Angel of Death. wackiness ensues.
