Christmas and a reading

Another Christmas come n go. Weather was definitely an issue this year I mean I love a white Christmas n all but this was crazy i narrowly escaped the Manhattan blizzard and went down to my hometown of norton. Got to hang with family in the midst of yet another wicked winter storm I actually just relaxed alot and hung out with my brothers and fam. For christmas I got every thing i could have wanted and more. Not only did i get to spend time with my family and see my Grandma but Gran game me the first installment of my family's history. My mom gave me a ton of Neil Gaiman books. American Gods, Good Omens, Magical Creatures, interworld, and then on top of that sense my brother stephen had already been gifted books that he got they came to me. Sense and sensibility and sea monsters and pride and prejudice and zombies. Then I got several games, Zelda spirit tracks, Kindom hearts for DS, and scribblenauts, and the Wii game Conduit. its been a great Christmas i wish I had brought home my Metroid game so i could have played that with my brothers. Also realized just how far advanced in art my little brothers are. Dear god I just hope to catch up someday they are both prodigies.

I will be working alot these coming weekes thanks to a trip i will be taking to Chicago with my friend Meredith. Should be great fun. aside from some crazy difficulties with the airlines and getting a name change. Apparently its a really hard thing to do. Which I'm surprised at cause I think it should be way easier in this techno age. Sigh. What can ya go right. Well that aside, I made it back to Manhattan safe. It was quite a drive but I did it. I have one of the busiest work weeks ever plotted at carlos. So that will be draining but i should be able to work it and it will give me the hours i need to cover the time missed. or at least it better. lol

Tonight I got to hang out with an old friend of cherry's shes quite an interesting girl and she wanted to do a tarot card reading on me. The cards i pulled were Art, Virtue and anti adjustment basically me in a nut shell it was an interesting read. But for irhgt now i need to sleep.

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
