Joy and Pain - Two Sides of the Same Coin

I do not go to work today. This is something to be joyous about. However, it was not meant to be this way. Thanks to my wonderful shoes, which have been possesed by the very soul of Satan himself, my foot is in pain. It sucks. Actually, it's sad more than it sucks for today was supposed to be the last Saturday I ever work at Wal-Mart.

This Friday, July 6th, marks my final day there. There is indeed light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I've already planned a few things I am going to do before school starts. Theyare as follows:

  • Attend a "Weird Al" concert
  • Start up a new comic
  • Practice piano
  • Read some books
  • Other various sundries

Yes. This will be like the most awesome summer EVAR!

Spammers, I smite thee!

Once again people have thought it fun to spam my blog. To this I say: Burn in hell, you dirty bastards! But, oh well. I've added some interesting features to the comment system that should keep them at bay... unless they actually write a bot to target my site specifically. But, in the meantime, the comments are back up and running. No crazy password, approval e-mail, or word verification necessary. That's how proud I am of my coding. That and the fact that I can't seem to programtically send e-mails on my server. It sucks. Hardcore.

Also, you'll notice that the RSS feed is back so subscribe and never miss out on my awesome news again. Peace out!

Emo Art

More artwork for your truly. This piece is more "experiemental". Screwing around with space and color (or lack thereof). It's very emo.

Mace Art

I decided to take pepper spary to a new level and make art out of it. Okay, never mind.

Actually, I've continued my Star Wars advertisement line this time combining a complete bad ass with the world's greatest lemon-lime soft drink. And a really awesome, swirly background thingy. Enjoy!
