I really am.

Last entry in May?

Crap...

Can't do much better either...

Have another piece to post... but my scanner is not working for some reason... So I need to fix that first.

Gah...

Holy crap!

Where did April go?

Damn!

Well, Vancouver was AMAZING!!! SO beautiful.

The Apocalyptica concert? THE BEST FREAKING SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
God those Fins know how to put on a concert! And a heavy metal concert played on cellos? Damn! Those guys are 9000 kinds of amazing! If you haven't listened to them, do so now!
They started out as a Metallica cover band.

That's right!
A Metallica cover band.
4 cellists.
Metallica.
Go listen!
I command you!

Other than that I had my birthday... joyous fun as that was -insert dripping venomous sarcasm here-

Went to see Opeth and Dream Theater this weekend. That was cool. Shortest concert ever though.

Next week is Nightwish.

The week after Coheed and Cambria.

Iron Maiden sold out well before I could get close to tickets.

Oh well. Life is going alright anyways.

Got some new chainmaille made. Will photograph and post on ~Chain-Reaction later.

I'll give you all a better journal later.

So I just went and booked tickets for a fourth concert in the next couple months here.

Fun thing is, it's in Vancouver.

Apocalyptica.

Live.

I am SO there!


Now for the HOW part...

Bah... mere details. I'll work it out.


Also got tickets for Nightwish, Iron Maiden, and Coheed and Cambria. All in the SAME WEEK!!!

That is going to be SO amazing...


God am I ever excited.


Yay for random trips to the West Coast!

Holy Crap... Long time since I've been on here.

I think I have good reasons though.

Grandma died right before Xmas and her service was just after New Years.
Lost another girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
Roomies are STILL knobs.
No new art until a couple nights ago (St. Patrick's Day which was spent working...).
Not even really any chainmaille.
My vacation just got canceled for next week because my boss STILL hasn't given me my damn bonus.

Good news though is my martial arts are going well. Found a school that teaches on seperate days from Ving Tsun EXACTLY what else I've always wanted. Woot for training with one of the guys who used to train SEALS. CQC training here I come!

I've completely solved all my money issues. Now I'm so bloody well off most months I don't know what to do with it until I go on vacation (Which actually happens now! YAY!).

Been rather busy writing for another site too. Getting pretty decent at it.

Some pretty cool things going on.

Things are starting to look up again.

Now if all the women in my life weren't running away from me like I had the plague or something...

Thought I might come back on here though and say Hi to everyone I haven't seen on here in the last X months.

I'm back... partially.

Now for that artists block...

-Steve

What a month it has been...

If it is crazy and can have happened to me it probably has.

Life has this horrible habit of not going exactly the way you want it to all the time. Has anyone else noticed this?

Here I am trying to deal with myself and find a deeper understanding and just about everything that could possibly go wrong to try and make me break down has.

Grandma broke her hip. Leah has completely left me. I have multiple friends going through the most horrendous times in their lives that I am trying to help. The roomies are being knobs. Got money problems I'm working on. The girl I like a lot right now is marrying a crack dealer she met 3 months ago...

Just nothing good.

Except Ving Tsun.

The only thing I have been able to relax and feel into and through.

Very cool too, Sifu wants me to do some reference drawings for his next book. I have to test out a few things, but it will be a fun challenge! And I would love to be able to help out.

Anyways... later all!
