drunken sailors are always doing nice things for one another.

3D one-line drawings

my friend cory is awesome. i went to his house a couple of days ago and he had this cool wire thing he made. it's a picture of him walking his dog. it's like a one line drawing but made of WIRE! and then we took his dog for a walk and it looked JUST LIKE the wire thing he made! and then we got italian ice but we couldn't take the dog in there because it's against the health code so i went in while cory and the dog waited outside. and then i screwed up cory's order and got him strawberry and lime instead of strawberry and lemon. WHAT A DOOFUS! i said as i slapped my forehead.

but then his dog kept eating mulch and rocks and pieces of tape and whatever she could find on the sidewalk. so then, i was like "who's the doofus now?" and i gave cory a hint by sort of winking and nodding in the dog's direction. i guess it wasn't a clear enough hint because cory didn't even take a guess. he just sort of sighed and said it was getting pretty late and maybe i should think about leaving.

symbols: ampersand and at

who picked these symbols? if it were up to me, a lightning bolt would mean something. i guess it already does. but why don't we have a lightning bolt key on the keyboard so that i can type lightning bolts before and after my name on my resume instead of having to draw it on each one individually? it's bullcrap, if you ask me.

secret agency

i'm pretty sure my friend kienan might be a secret guy working for the government's secret agency. i snapped this photo of him last weekend as he was fleeing what appears to be the scene of a crime. notice the car hanging off the bridge in the background. also notice his mustache is way better than mine.
anyway, the government's secret agency is an organization that finds out and keeps secrets. if you've ever seen any of those James Spond movies, it's kind of like that. but REAL LIFE! and american.

work doodles

when i have to work super early in the morning, my lunch break is at 7am. sometimes i'm not ready for lunch at 7am. so i just sit. i sit and wait for it to be time to go back to work. but not today. today i doodled. and i've gotta tell you, guys: when you have the choice between sitting and doodling, just doodle. you can sit and doodle at the same time even, if you're into multi-tasking. i'm into multi-vitamins but i never remember to take them! you guys know what i'm talking about.

tiger seems happier

another good thing about patrick and andrea living here is that our tiger seems happier.

mouse pad? more like ... impossible to draw with thing

my friends patrick and andrea live with me now. that's fun. one fun thing about it is they brought a super nintendo with Mario Paint. i remember Mario Paint very well because it was my first encounter with a mouse & mouse pad. i was excited because i found computers interesting and the mouse & mouse pad seemed the way of the future. however, i quickly became frustrated with the equipment. "stupid," "bullcrap," and "piece of junk," were a few of my initial reviews of the new technology.

now i'm an old pro with the mouse & mouse pad. it just goes to show you: kids are dumb, whiny little jerks who don't know anything.

doodles: david spade, 2 faced man, p. rule

i've been doodling a lot lately. the other night i drew a fantastic nude super mario. it grossed everyone out, so i won't post it here. too much hair and too many tears i guess. but that's how i see nude mario. anyway, here's some others:
the picture at the bottom is a drawing of a drawing of my friend patrick rule. the photo below shows the original drawing that was done by arthur fiedler for the savannah museum of fancy arts.

this mustache is growing on me ... FIGURATIVELY!

we all had mustaches for my friend kienan's bachelor party this weekend. mine was one of the creepiest of the bunch  on account of it's sort of light brown and not very thick and kind of sticks straight out. anyway, all the other guys were talking about how they couldn't wait to get home and shave them off. i decided to keep mine around and let the rest of my face catch up with it. this way, my beard will respect my mustache. because it has more experience on my face.

post parachuting post

well, i'm back from my first skydive and, so far as i can tell, i didn't die. it was fun and it is something i want to do more often. what was really cool is that we got to do it right in downtown chicago.
just kidding. but in front of our hotel, while we were waiting for a valet guy to get our car, these dudes jumped out of helicopter and landed in front of our building. they were doing it on camera for the new Transforming Robots movie. which is a movie about transforming robot aliens that can be cars and help boys make out with babes or something? i don't know. they're nerd movies. i'm no nerd, so i don't know anything about that.
