4 months and the return of Ryan


So It's been 4 months sense Cherry and I started dating. This last month brought about our first fight in some ways and other interesting turns of events all of which I think only drew us closer. Our trust is growing in each other and more often than not I feel more of a real connection and less and less of the superficial puppy dog love that most relationships start with. As both our relationship and our friendship deepen I just thank God every new day for her presence in my life.

I'm finally off the meds for the poison ivy and its looking alot better just some residual scars from the more severely scratched areas. All in all clearing up very well all thanks to my mom and my Sherry at the plasma center and absolutely no thanks from the doctors at lafene. Whom I will never listen to again so help me god.

Ashley went and decided to dog sit this week. While the dog is both cute and cuddly shes in no way responsible enough to take care of it. Like two days after getting it she left for Arizona and well I was in another state at the time as well. When we got home I gave extra love to it.

I've designed several tatts this week for my friends one being the tree to the right for a Nigerian princess named nikki. The other being a tree frog which is further down. Both came out really well I thought.

So bigger still my best friend Ryan came back from Japan for a week. Wow we went all crazy ryan and jordan style again even spontaneously bought tuxedos. I was super excited to get to hang out with him on my day off fri. Only to find out he was going to be in Omaha all day on a river boat. O.o Well Cherry and them convinced me to go with them and I gotta say a river boat ride is super relaxing even if there are bands playing on each tier. The last night we played Edward 40 hands which is were you duck tape 40's to your hands and can't take them off until you finish the bottle. We both made it through our drinks and I'm pretty sure I was far gone at that moment then i drank some more definately puttting me over the edge lol. Woke up this morning and helped our friend Seji move out of his apt. Got some cool stuff for doing that too I'll have to re organize my room but I'm ok with that i think i'm going to get rid of the couch sense I never use it and replace it with my drawing table. Well thats all for now. I love you Ms. Ray and I miss you Mizells. :D

When things go up and down

No this isn't about sex... O.o It is about how things have been a crazy roller coaster today. Woke up after a night of tossing and turning. I have been having really lucid dreams lately to the point that I know in the dream that I'm dreaming and yet interacting as the characters in the dreams... Usually very unsettling, what can you do? Waking up after that I went by AJ's to see Cherry before work seeing her started the day off right... happily I went to Carlos. Found out i was working till 5 kind of a downer but not really sense I was scheduled till 5. Not a huge shock but usually I get out at 4. Cherry came round at 1:30 I rushed Danea so I could go have my break with Cherry. She was in a down sort because she's been super tired lately from lack of sleep and on top of that only made a few bucks in tips and was accused of theft or something equally insulting. All total crap because this guy can't run a business worth a sh**. Went back to work we were pretty much dead the rest of the day. My swollen foot was killing me by the end of it. I bared it though it's what I do and I was convinced it would go away someday right. Got home went in to give plasma sense I couldn't give last week thanks to the poison Ivy and my stupidity for wearing shorts in lol. The nurse on duty who was not a retard like the Doctor I went to see said my foot shouldn't be that swollen or my legs as red as they were. So I went off from there called my mom told her what the nurse said and she called in a favor with a doctor she knows thank the Gods sense all the hospitals were closed. I went on my way to get new work boots assuming the poison ivy oil was in my work shoes which was why my feet kept getting infected. On my way up the on ramp my car bugged out. Went completely dead. "Sigh" So I called AAA this time they came through although it took a while apparently they were overloaded. 1 hr later and a few new levels on Final fantasy tactics the Mike's Wrecker showed up. Towed me to Goodyear. Then I walked over to Dillion's where my prescription of steroids and antibiotics was waiting for me. Totally only had to pay 4 bucks... Great news there. Meant I could by new work boots, which I did when my roommate Ashley came to pick me up. Found 20 dollar shoes which is good cause this car thing is gonna cost me I can only imagine. Got home took my meds and played more tactics. Then Keegan and Kevin showed up and I had a very productive art night finished a commission and drew two new sketches which I will be coloring soon. Had good talks... smoked too much lol Now I'm writing this, missing Cherry and wondering why the party of people that was spoced to show up to send of Emily didn't show up. Oh well I'll work on some more art. Very up and down day. We'll see if these meds kick this damn infection s ass. In other news me and Keegan finally finished out first collaboration.. which is below. See you all later. Love you Cherry.

Explosive Situations

Ah the 4th of July. It has often amused me that by celebrating our countries independence we blow up pieces of it. This 4th was no different. But most importantly it was a family time. The Mizell clan was gathered in Manhattan as I had hoped. We were one short both days however, I still got to see them all and spend time with them all. We went out to eat, got to set off fireworks to the tune of crazy although my mother thought our firework times were a little haphazard I felt we were just as cautious as usual myself especially as I kinda stayed to the back and only watched the fun and made video of it lol. This was also the first Holiday my GF got to spend with the family. I felt she was truly accepted although Im pretty sure my parents think my roomate ashlea is crazy lol.
It was still great to see Cherry interacting with all my brothers and just playing around this holiday.
I was still under the influence of a horrible skin irritant know as poison ivy I think I'm in the later stages of it's potency but I'm going in for a follow up at the med clinic tomorrow to be sure. We will see I may have to get a shot or some steroid pills. Either way i'm ready for this whole awful affair to be over with. Cherry shown through the dark with brilliance as she has been very good to me in this time of trial. My previous relationship can to a standstill due to a similar reaction to poison ivy. Although she hates the way it looks and I don't blame her. I have loved her even more for sticking by me and loving me through it all.

Tonight she got to meet a dear old friend of mine named Mary. She's been away in France for a semester i knew Cherry would get along really well with her and it was just so great to get to hug her again. You really realize how much someone means to you when they leave.

As you can see i have been doing alot more art lately really trying to push myself to get more of it done so keep an eye out for all the great samples to come. i guess that all for now. Love you cherry. I love you family. You will both always be in my prayers.

I told you so


There are times when I am just as dumb as every other pigheaded man. Times I think that I definitely know best... Times when my gut feeling could not be wrong. Well I all to well found that my gut and my head were both in the wrong and on the worst day of all for it to happen. Cherry and I had our Three month marker last monday the 23 of June. It was wonderful when she awoke she found her favorite chocolate right next to her head along with three roses. We delighted in each others company and picked up our friend Ariana along the way to help us go Bra shopping as it so happened Cherry had never done that. Then we wen off to the Candy store got some sweets and after that some food. Well we had planned to go out to this spot we like near a lake. Last time we were there I had seen a tiny car drive all the way down to the lake and figured I could do the same in my van. Assuring Cherry when she protested that I knew what I was doing and that we would be fine I went ahead and took off down this treacherous and deeply groved road. Not halfway there and while it was insanely bumpy and scary and I really had wished I had listened to her we come to a downed tree. well I am ready to admit I'm wrong now and decide to turn it around and get out. To which I make an even bigger ass of myself by putting the front end into the muddy side road... my car is front wheel drive. Stuck dead in what I later found out to be tick and I think poison Ivy filled weeds and mud. Having fully embarrassed myself I seek solace in my ever so understanding and very wonderful GF who did not even say I told you so. She saw in my eyes that I understood how right she was. I called Triple A and they called a wrecker service... so I was able to take comfort in the fact that someone was coming to help. So we went on to walk to Cherry's spot. Getting there to find it completely covered in water. Gone. the spot was gone. So they called her mom to come get them and me and her sister Jasmine walked up the hill to great the wrecker service. Whom called on the way up the hill to tell me they were not coming. O.o I was terrified yet kept my cool. I called my friend Dan whom I was so glad to get ahold of and he said he would be on his way to my rescue. Ah Dan... good to have friends you can rely on. Well Cherry's mom picked up the girls and took them on home none to happy about having to make the trek out there to save them from the dumb BF. While I stayed and watched the sun set and started walking towards where i would sooner meet up with Dan whom got lost and luckily I was able to get him proper instructions right before my phone died and my sandal broke... It was good times lol. But Dan has a huge truck and he was very excited to use it. He drove right down that awful road and towed my car out and even yanked the tree out of the road way in the process snapping his tow rope but non the less very much so impressing me with his power truck. Luckily my car was only covered with mud so driving home was not a problem. Met up with Cherry whom I called using Dan's phone seeing as right before my phone died I took it upon myself to memorize her number. And she did the most amazing thing ever she forgave me for repeating the same dumb thing as her Ex and took me in her arms and let me know that our special day was not ruined that it was all right and that she was still overjoyed to be with me. To me this single action made the past evil events just melt away. I was loved and I was so in love with her for setting aside my faults and loving me so. This is just one of the reasons to love her and daily I am reminded of more. Thank you so much Cherry for trusting in me even when I have failed you. In doing so you have gained my Trust ten fold. I do miss you tonight though... but a time apart only makes the heart grow stronger. I can't wait to see you again tomorrow.
