Hey faithful few... I hope your holiday went well. Mines was ok. I got a little rest and topped it off with a 10 hour shift today. OH JOY!!
I started working on a "not so random" random short for you guys this past week. I'm not quite finished with it yet and that's why I didn't post it this week. Hopefully I get it done this week for you guys. Keep your fingers crossed. That's it for me this week guys.
Until next week...
-Namaste
I sometimes wonder if I take the easy way out of things.
Your like, "That's a weird way to start a post..."
But follow along with me for a few...
I have been blogging for years but lately sometimes I have found myself reposting blogs/writings across services. In a way its not that strange that I would do something like that. Not everything I post here or on other sites get seen by the same audiences. So by reposting, I get it to reach a little farther.
I used the term "easy" earlier not necessarily to point out something bad but to point out that I been kind of taking shortcuts in doing certain things...in this instances blogging. I've started using the site Medium recently and as I was deciding what I was going to write next for my page on there...I was like, I'll just repost whatever I write there this week here. I noticed this made it harder for me to focus on something at least a little cohesive. What that did though was give me the topic for this post. Brainstorming and contemplating works in mysterious ways.
I glad I could have this discussion with you guys this weekend. That's all I have this weekend faithful few.
Until next week...
-Namaste
So I have finally decided that starting either Monday or Wednesday, that for the rest of the month; I plan on going Vegan. I also found out the exact date that I became a Vegetarian and it was 5 years this past Thursday that I gave up meat. Wow! Crazy right?
Some of you are probably going, 5 years without even a piece of chicken?? That seems like a long time right? But as you guys know, time flies when you are having fun😊.
I wonder how devoted I can to adopting a vegan diet because I definitely know I won't be really living the lifestyle. I can't see me not buying items made with leather or animal products. I mean I'm going to do my best not to eat any dairy or eggs but as far as anything else, right now I can't wrap my mind around not having or using. That's all I have for you guys this weekend. I know these is my 3rd straight post about these topic but hopefully next weeks will be different...😉
Until next week...
-Namaste
I have decided that I want to try and be vegan for a bit. Maybe a 21 or 30 day challenge.
I've been thinking about it for quite a while now. Next month will be my Vegetarian anniversary and I was thinking that I would do it then. I just have to decide if I want to start on the 1st or the middle of the month. I don't think it will be to big of a challenge though. In any event, whatever I decide to do I will share with you guys.
That's all for this week.
Until next week...
-Namaste
I need to blog more on my other blogs. I have them right at my fingertips just like this one so there should be no excuse. I don't see a reason as to why I haven't considering all I'd have to write about are things that describe me or that I use everyday in my life.
I think going forward I think I shall endeavor to write more. Plus writing really helps me to focus and keeps the wheel turning in my mind. Write... Write...write...write...
Until next week...
-Namaste
I was going through my WordPress app the other day and I realized that I haven't posted anything on either of my blogs there. On my tech blog I even have a draff that I started called "Why I switched back to Android from the iPhone?" that I need to finish and post even though it's been almost 2 years!
I think my life has been so hectic over the past year or so that I have only been focusing on this main blog. I think I get so caught up in thinking that I have to create long posts that that's probably why I don't blog as much on my other two. Maybe I try to do a better job of posting just small things or things that interest me in them. Like if I read an article or find a recipe or something. I could link to it or just mention it it a quick post.
What I should do is create a habit for it in my habit app to alert me to post in them weekly as well or maybe bi-weekly. I have to decide what I want to do with them. I also think I need to maybe add a blogroll to my page so I can add them here. I'll get it done soon. That's it for now faithful few.
Until next week...

So I finally got around to find out what the numbers were for this art exhibition I try to do every year. I submitted 4 pieces a combination of photos and digital prints. Entries #3495-8 are my entries to the 6X6X2014 at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. This is the link. Feel free to peruse the images there. You don't have to purchase mines. There are over 6,000 pieces up that can be purchased. All pieces are just $20. The go on sale globally on June 10, 2014 at 10am EST. Treat yourself.
Also I have been trying to edit and upload some of my work to my RedBubble site. This past week they started selling Totes and Throw pillows. Right now I have they at a low introductory price but I definitely plan on selling them at a little higher price. So if you have any people who are interested make sure you jump on them now. I need to get other images "printable-ready" so they look good on what ever they get printed on. That's all I have for you guys this week.
Until next week...

Lately I have lacked the proper motivation. Maybe I shouldn't say motivation but more along the lines of having a lack of focus. I have been having issues with keeping my mind centered.
I have so much going on in my head right now it's seems hard to pick one at a time. It's like I've reached a crossroad.
And I am stuck on where do I go from here...how do I get to point B...what's going to happen next....
It's all this uncertainty in my head that is cloud my mind and keeping me off my game. I need to re-learn how to not let things take over my mind and spiral out of control .
Maybe I need to get back into meditating. You know really clearing my head before I dive into anything else. I think I will give that a go...what say you?
Well that's all I have for you guys this week. Looking forward to the week ahead.
Until next week...
-Namaste
This is one of them times of the year when I feel a little down. And I just thought I would do a little post tonight for you guys. Since tomorrow is Mothers Day and I don't blog on Sundays, I just thought I'd wish all the Moms out there a Happy Mother's Day.
You should really show your mothers all year around how much you love and care for them. You only get one! As for me I really miss my mother but I do believe she is in a better place now.
Happy Mother's Day Mom, I miss and love you...
Hey faithful few, I have decided to implement the first change in my blog. Hopefully you will see the change in the next few weeks or so.
I am going to also add a little cosmetic changes as I mentioned last week to my blog as well in hopes of driving more traffic to my blog. I may even later in the year transition from Blogger to Wordpress. That's where I have my other 2 blogs hosted at now. Maybe I can go with a little unity on the blog front. As usual, whatever I do you guys will be the first to know.
Until next week...
-Namaste
Hello faithful few, I have been blogging for a few years now and occasionally I'll change up my page. Just a little cosmetic things here and there...but now I am thinking of really switching it up. I am thinking of trying to monetize my blog.
Over the coming weeks I am going to be trying out a few things to see if I like it or see how I feel about it. Apart of me feels like I'd be forcing ads upon you guys but then another part of me feels like as as an artist, I should be trying to capitalize on every venture in my arsenal. What do you guys think? That's all I have this week. I know kind of a short post but this one was just about sharing with you guys the changes that are coming and to get you opinions.
Until next week...
-Namaste
Hey faithful few, just wanted to show you guys that I am still being creative and pushing out ideas. I did this yesterday for Valentines Day. It's called "For Her"
That's all I have this week for you guys. I will have more next week. (that's 3 weeks in a row)
-Namaste
Hey faithful few, it's the last day of August(ALREADY, man times does fly!!!) I had a really really good post for you guys this week but I decided to wait to post it until the middle of next week. Believe you and me, it's a doozy of a post. Since I need to do other things before I post it, I figured that I would wait. When I do post it and share with your guys why I wanted to wait, I am sure you'll understand and it will all make sense.
So until next week faithful few...
-Namaste
Hey faithful few, I don't have anything really for you guys this week. I did have a somewhat productive first part of the week in Charlotte though.
At some point in time I will bring you guys some good news going forward. I need to finish this painting that I started about a month ago and haven't worked on in about 3 weeks. I also started working on this panel that I had totally forgotten about. I had worked on half of it, then taped it off and put it to the side. Almost forgot I had it. Those are two pieces I am hoping to finish in the next couple of weeks. I really got to get back into the swing of things.
Until next time my friends...
-Namaste
I have a lot that I want to share with you guys but not this week. This week I just have another image of the piece I sold a few weeks ago. It's still a little rough around the edges though. I should be finished it tomorrow but I wanted to show you guys where it's at now. Also next week I'll post images of the work I am putting in the 6X6X2013 at Rochester Contemporary Art Center in Rochester, NY.
I got a couple of blog posts that I have been writing on and off for the past couple of months. One is a blog that I am writing for my tech blog but I want to post it here to share with you guys so come back for that soon.
Until next week...
-Namaste
