Post Christmas

So it's that time of year again time to go and hang out with the fam and do the Christmas thing. Weather aside I always look forward to hanging out with my family they are so wonderful and I'm a better person for getting to hang out with them. So far I have gotten to go to a few Christmas parties before heading back to Norton and sadly a few anti-Christmas parties for all those hipsters who hate to label things.

Art wise I am still trying to push out commissions like an old man trying to take a dump. Seriously with this new work schedule doing art and having a social life are starting to be affected. But I'm willing to push through all that if it means graduating and getting my debt squared away finally. I already have my spending money ready to go for Chicago so that's a none issue and after that its just a matter of making sure my car and computer don't piss out on me.

As far as social networking is going my favorite activity recently is poetry night I have really gotten into writing poems. Never really done it before but it's nice to have a new creative outlet although Cherry thinks I'm better than her and that erks her off cause poetry is her thing lol and art should be mine. Like I said i really enjoy the new creative outlet plus it takes way less time to do than art. Not that i'll stop doing art. Speaking of cherry we have started a new workout routine that's actually getting me exercising again which is good if I'll be getting back into yosakoi full time again. I really hope I will be considering this may be our last year.

So cherry and I's weird relationship is about the closest thing I have to a relationship right now. The last two girls I have pursued have both gone back to X's and left me wondering. I guess go with what's safe and what you know as opposed to what you don't know. I'm a risk I guess. Oh well I ought to stop looking right. I haven't even gotten to see anjana in like forever. That's the worst. :( Oh well life goes on but I'm a romantic and I need someone to shower my affections on lol .

Well that's about all peace all have a great one.

Sushi and Strippers

So this week been all sorts of topsy turvy Gotta say I have loved it all. Sink beer was a blast got to hang out with Caitlin a little more although turns out shes having crazy issues with X's much like Mackenzie was. So here's a yay for me crushing on girls with X's lol Tuesday I read my first real poem at a poetry slam at auntie maes and i can safely say it was a hit. Ran into Mackenzie there first time I have seen her well sense the play. She loved my poem too so that's cool. Cherry and Michael both said it rocked. Totally walking on cloud nine that night. Wed was art night and this girl Betsy came over and she was wicked cool created some really cool metal works based on that nights theme. So moving on to Thursday when I got to go to Auntie maes Christmas lighting ceremony. Pretty amazing even though a drunk santa spilt a drink on this girl Kate I was hanging out with. Later that night I got to hang out with Meredith Lindsey needless to say our friendship is stronger thanks to it. :D So ended that night and I got super excited for the next day because I was going to give Cherry a ride to KC so she could spend the day with her crazy cool cuzin. After dropping her off me and Asuka this crazy cool Japanese girl that asked me to help her do something that I will reveal later had come along . We both went and got sushi and Sushi Gin It was so good definitely always worth the amount I spend there to eat. Lets just say it's a dollar sushi place and I spend 30 dollars :d. After that we got lost in KC and then finally found our way to Lawrence where we got lost again. I was really good at getting us lost and Finally back to Topeka where both Asuka and I got to go to a strip club for the first time in our lives. Live nude models for 5 bucks. This is something I should have done ages ago i got so many drawings done I was on a role and will post them later after I ave touched them up. The lighting there was abysmal. I definitely need to get another sketch book for nights like that. The water color one is way to ruff for quick sketching. Made friends with several of the girls there. Mainly a girl named star she was really cool and had the whole triforce from zelda tattooed on her back. Yeah shes that cool. Definitely going back in the future to draw again. So yeah this whole week has been one awesome day after another. :D

What a week

So this has been an interesting week. One for a the records I would imagine. One to out do the last one by miles that's for sure. I go from being wildly blah about a lack of love to an overwhelming show of affection from the fairer sex. Starting Monday at sink beer. Where i not only got hit on by several girls but one guy. i know I know I'm spoced to feel weird about a dude hitting on me. WHAT EVER! I don't care who hits on me it makes me feel pretty. One there is Anjana and we all know i love this girl to death. Shes one of my best friend and very pretty to boot. Sometimes, i think we don't know what to do with each other cause we dig on each other but there's that 4 yr friendship that's like wait a sec your best friends. So i take her affections with both acceptance an humility knowing full well we'll probably never act on it but shes so awesome. So here's to you Anjana you know I love you but it's worth repeating you are amazing and I treasure all the moments i spend with you. jeffery the fella that hit on me. I mean come on this guys just a catch if I was into dudes i would have taken the chance lol but he's really great and much thanks to you jeffrey for making me feel pretty that night. Lastly, Caitlin Cash besides having one of the coolest names ever we have an epic real introduction and I say real because our paths have crossed in social situations before but we've never been formally introduced till that night. So that night she made the wonderful assumption that she might get drunk and lets face it at sink beer it's bound to happen and then warned me she might try n make out with me because I looked like Pen from Pen n Teller. Well I was completely ok with that the girl was cute as hell. So later that same night anjana came by slightly inebriated poor thing she always gets really flirty when she's a bit tipsy not that i mind I love the affection. But yeah Caitlin said she was going to have to head out saddened that i had missed the chance to kiss a pretty girl I spoke up and said "HEY! we never got to make out?" She promptly said well get over here n kiss me. Whats a boy to do i lept up n gave her that kiss she so richly deserved.

Two days later were being escorted out of a theater because high school kids think its funny to pull fire alarms. Not that I minded spending an extra 30 with this new girl but it was farking cold out there and she was wearing pretty shoes that showed her toes I just had to assume she was freezing. We finally made it back into the theater and watched what turned out to be one of my favorite movies this yr. The fantastic Mr. Fox. So far aside from destroying my thumbs with texting she has been nothing but a pleasure and a new reason to smile. So tonight she had a going away party pub crawl and myself well my cuzin was coming into town so we did the sensible thing and all met at maes. So it was another night were I got to hang out with her and some of her friends. Sully made sure I felt awesome about myself I mean seriously that girl coudl make the saddest emo kid give up the razor. On top of that I had my hair down again so another slightly drunk girl tried getting me to kiss her and there's always Katie the bar tender whom I will always remember as Zatanna which mind you if i ever had a daughter i would probably name her that. We have an interesting love affair. Shes crazy busy and I'm too dumb to remember to text her to hang out but we always love seeing each other at maes. I'll have to go more often. But heres to another great week. :)

le sigh

Hasn't been the best week ever I can definitely say that without reservation. Started off on Mon with Sink beer which was fun times for sure. but after that quickly feel by the wayside as all my friends are apparently busy with school n work leaving me sadly alone. Luckily There was a new Dr. Who this week. Ah David Tennant. You never disappoint. But yeah it's been kinda a downer week but what can ya do sometimes everyone is just busy. I have also recently descoverd Live stream and have been using that regurally. Check that out if you get time. I'm saintpepsi there. But yeah, cherrys got a new boytoy, my last intrest hasn't instagated a conversation in like a month and my dearest anajan was gone away on work. Can't wait for next week it better be an upper week lol except for having to work from 6 to like 5 on black friday Aggghhhh. thats all fro now pretty short one i know :D peace all

Thanksgiving ALREADY!?!

So I got to go home and enjoy what one might consider to be an early Thanksgiving. Ms. Goodwin was to accompany me but sadly was tied up with Guys n Dolls a musical I still have yet to see go figure. Anyway, haven't heard from her really in a long while going to go ahead and assume things won't be working out on that front. I have secured the allegiance of my dear friend Jen to find me the perfect girl whom she says she has located in Lawrence. I guess I'll have to see. I no longer do the whole attempting to disguise myself as whom I think people want me to be so as to be better available for a larger girl populace. Probably would have helped me out tonight when i met the lead from guys n dolls and in a bit of a drunken loudness promptly yelled something at her that could have easily been said quietly lol. Oh well another sound first impression made. Sink beer has become a wonderful Monday night extrusion for me though. Good drinks good friends. I even don't have to feel bad about all those crabs because Cherry and I are doing DDR prior to it.

Well back to this weekend my brothers the twins were in a play called My son the Rock. Kinda felt like a Grimm fairy tale about this king and queen whom are basically very un-impressed with their son and piss off a witch who through a matter of coincidence convinces them that she has turned their son into a rock. My brothers were very good in it along with a few of their friends but it was still a high school play and sadly I have seen both Broadway and very well done college productions. I guess I have been spoiled. I really can't wait to see my brothers in college plays because they have a great energy.

I actually didn't get into political arguments with my family. That's always good we have different view points on the world possibly screwed by news. But what can you do. I did get to see my cousin Jess and Michelle both of which i haven't seen in quite a while. And My mother whom I largely thank just for the chance to watch her watch spots once again made watching sports quite amusing. As she jumped and hollered and screamed KU to victory in basketball and sadly not quite as effectively in football. But mainly I was just really glad to get to hang out with my family and have really goo food. Even better than that sense it wasn't a huge turn out I didn't over eat so no feelings of thanksgiving gluttony guilt. All good here.

Lastly I want to point out a new book I read over this short break by Neil Gaiman Called The Graveyard Book. The Graveyard book click on this title for a summary. Is Neil Gaiman at his absolute best It's written in much the same fashion as the jungle book except instead of a jungle charged with raising a young boy. it's the souls of a graveyard. Each new chapter in a new and fascinating adventure through the eyes of a boy raised by ghosts. If you read one book this yr make sure it is this one.

Well that's all for me Have very pleasant Thanksgiving all.

The Ethnic sleeping Cap

So A while ago I was walking through Wal-mart looking for some hair nets Now they had the kind that the lunch lady wears and I was like while I will be using this for food prep I don't really want the lunch lady look. Kept walking checking different areas in the hair care area and I stumble upon the "ETHNIC" section its all of 1/4 of an isle long obviously, we don't have too many Ethnic people in Manhattan or they must go elsewhere for their haircare needs. Well I found a much better caliber of hair nets. They were a lot more expensive but so far have lasted way longer. While I was there I found a sleeping cap made of satin. Thought, interesting something to keep my crazy long hair from attempting to murder me every night. So I grabbed that to. Let me just say for the record it totally works. I love it! I wake up in the morning not pulling hair from my eyelids, mouth and wrapped menacingly around my neck. I just pull of this satin cap and down it falls. Better still it falls with that signature bounce and vitality that hair has in shampoo ads. With that slight curly bounce.

So while I am not "Ethnic" I gotta say this product is totally worth it to anyone who has long hair. So in other news today was the first day of Auntie Maes Mighty fine poetry night featuring my poster. Pretty excited It turned out really well. Also did the art for my friends radio show which was spoced to happen tonight but they forgot their keys so the radio just played christian rap music for like 2 hrs. I will be a guest next week though. Man my birthday is creeping up on me here pretty soon I'll be 28 does that sound old to anyone else. O.o Oh well maybe this year will be better than the last :D

Peace all

Pepsi

Doe a Deer

So last night as I was doing my normal nothing here at home. Watching house and drawing when I got an IM from my friend Gaby to come carve pumpkins. I was pretty excited I love doing the carving thing :D So I took off to go carve up some pumpkins and luckily on my way down my street that is in the middle of town I was paying attention because out of no where two deer jumped right in front of my car. I slammed on the breaks the first one dodged to the left and I felt it bump my car slightly and the other one did one of those crazy back jumps that deer do also avoiding my car. Got my adrenaline going for sure. Made my way over to Gaby's place where unfortunately, all the pumpkins had been cut up. She said she was surprised so many people had made it over lol. So I had a few drinks and just hung out and watched em play some Wii sports. I also found out that the oldest person there was 23. 23 O.o !!!!!!

Made me think man this town is not made for people my age. You meet a particularly awesome girl and she's 6 yrs younger than you. In this instance there were a few there that were still teenagers. I started dating cherry when she was 21, and Mackenzie albeit We're not dating even though I'd like to give that a try lol She's still 21 too. Maybe, I should be looking for a place where the singles scene isn't fresh outa high school. I have made a rule though I will not date anyone under 21. It's not that I don't think they can be mature enough lord knows I'm just as crazy and immature as any high school kid sometimes.

Its just that girls as well as guys need to come into their own and know who they are and with out that period of acceptance of self; then you get from them exactly what they think you want them to be and not who they are. Even now I still find it difficult not trying to be what i think a person wants me to be to woe them. You want a person to see all your best qualities even if your not like that at all. I'm sure there are guys out there who act like complete dicks because they know girls are looking for guys who aren't trying to be what they want and end up with a dick lol. Weirder still is nice guys who see girls hooking up with one prick after another make the assumption that you have to be a prick to get the girls you like. sigh. Crazy missed up world my friends.

So here I am to my knowledge and the references of my peers I am a nice person with good qualities, not a bad boy, not a dick. I'm just me I'm not always exciting, I like to be boring sometimes and others I'll be completely spontaneous and run around like a crazy person. I'm the far left and the far right. I'm overall moral and yet too often lecherous and immoral. I live on a whim of what can make me smile and what will help me truly treasure a moment. A brilliant color in the fall that causes you to stop and look at the trees, An intoxicating aroma as a girl passes and the wind whips the memory of your brief encounter back to you. Mainly, just looking for someone to hold and love. All I need no great over compensating list built around the assumption of the perfect girl. Let me have a flawed and interesting girl over a pieced together robot made from my own quirky needs. Just my thoughts today.
