<p dir="ltr">Its been funny the last almost 9 years here on blogspot but as Skynyrd said, "...for I must be travelin' on now, there's too many places I got to see..." As I said last week, I will continue to blog every week so if you happen upon this page and want to read more of my ramblings follow me to WordPress. That's it.</p>

It kind of sucked because I had talked about me trying to transition from vegetarian to vegan. Blah. I didn't want to go through the whole process of typing it again so I left it in limbo. I just remembered about it as I was contemplating what I wanted to post this week. I'm going to keep it short and just say that Tuesday of this week will be my 2nd week of being vegan. It's been an easy transition…just don't know yet after the third week if I am going to continue it. That's all I have for now.<br />
<br />
Until next week…<br />

Only reason I'm posting this is the OCD part of me has to know for sure that a post posted to my blog every week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If the one that's stuck in publishing finally publishes, I'll just delete this post. Hope this one posts. Lol. Otherwise it'll be triple post time. </p>

And it's such a short video...at this point, I'm wondering if I want to continuously loop it or just leave it at the time it is. (Under 1 min.) </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am also trying to figure out what kind of music I want it to have. This video is beginning to take on a life of its own. I'm not overthink it but I want to get it just right. I want to watch it and go, "OH! That's it, that's were I want to go with it..." I will hopefully finish it in the next week or so. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Also faithful few, the next time I post I will be a year older! Woohoooooo!! Capricorns RULE!! <br>

I am still working on my video short. It's not quite ready for public consumption that's why I don't have it for this weeks' post. Hopefully I have it done by next week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Anywhoogle, I figured I would post a couple of my New Years Resolutions. A few that I would actually like to share. </p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Continue to work towards getting healthier. <br>
2. Get back to create art more on a regular basis. <br>
3. Brush up on my Japanese. Or at least get back to where I was in my college years with the language and build upon it. <br>
4. Can't stress this one enough... Create art more. </p>
<p dir="ltr">That's all I think I'll share this week with you guys this week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Until next week... </p>

<p dir="ltr">I don't know where it's going though. I've been writing and sketching little things on post-its. I have quite a few of them. This is probably <b><i>the </i></b>most creative I've been in weeks. I've been trying to make sure I jot them down as they come to me so I can really try and build on them.

I almost forgot today was Saturday. I haven't had much time to do anything the past week as I have been working since the day after Thanksgiving. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm really feeling like I need some me time or some time away. I have some vacation time coming up in a few months and I definitely want to get away for a couple of days. I really really really need a break. But I just gotta keep on grinding. Got get back on track in my life... You know... Well, this was just a random rambling post this week. When I opened up Blogger, this is what poured out of "me ol'noggin". That's all for now....oh yeah! I almost forgot. I started studying French a little bit this weekend. I had it for 3 years in middle school and I retained very little. I'm trying to get some of it back. Enrich myself if you will. </p>

Why hast thou eludeth me?? <p dir="ltr">So for the past 2 weeks, I have been trying to buy some glue. Yes I said <b><i>2 weeks </i></b>and <b><i>glue</i></b>. I have been to stores quite a few times with the intention of buying glue only to get sidetracked. Yesterday was the craziest instance. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I went in to the store. Picked up some of the stuff I needed and started towards the aisle with the glue and said, <i>I'll grab it on the way out</i>... Mind you I was really tired from work and just wanted to go home. I got what I needed and left. I did not realize until I was almost home, that I forgot the <b><i>GLUE!!! </i></b>That was my main reason for going. Crazy... Hashtag AmIRite? #hashtag (Lol... a little weird, dorky me thing.) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Well that's all I have for you guys this week. I just wanted to share this funny little story with you guys. </p>

I am trying to achieve some sort of mastery with these digital sketch apps. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The few times I have used these apps, I have been amazed at how much you can actually do with them. The sketch that I posted I am working on with an app called <i>ArtFlow</i>. I have a couple of other apps that I am trying to get into on my iPad. I'm using <i>ArtFlow</i><i> </i>on my phone. So I love the fact that I have it so readily accessible whenever I have a spare moment. And it's a plus that it works with the S-pen and is pressure sensitive. So you can achieve hard and soft lines. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I might do a review of the apps I'm trying at a later date. Well that's all I have for you guys this week.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Until next week...<br><br></p>

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I had a lot of money but I found it hard to decide what to buy. I WANTED IT ALL!<br />
<br />
There were times when I was in an aisle and I was just staring off into "<b><i>artmosphere</i></b>". It was just so hard to choose exactly what I wanted. I ended up getting a couple canvas panels and 6"X6" wood panels. I also picked up a couple of secret items that I can't share right now because it will spoil a surprise<br />
<br />
Today was the first day of my long weekend and I did a little creating and also messed around a bit in photoshop. It's been a minute since I've actually used photoshop so Ive been trying to get used to using it again. Next week I will have some images to show you guys but that's all for now.<br />
<br />
Until next week...<br />
