Alright guys and gals, let me suck up about five to ten minutes of your time (depending on how fast your computer runs and how slow you read).

This evening at seven I sat through a presentation that lasted almost two hours.  The topic was eradicating extreme poverty. Hugh Evans was the speaker. When I walked out of the presentation, I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. This sounds awful, but it's really the reaction that someone should have afterwards. Truth is, none of us know what it's like to live in extreme poverty, to live off of $1.25 a day.

Change is around the corner, we just have to get off of our fat, cynical asses and make it happen. Don't get upset, you know it's the truth.

Take the time and at least glance over these links.

I mean this.

Comment if you actually looked over this or have any say.

Merci.

You hit a low so you fight your way back up.
I'm still fighting.
I don't plan on giving up.

I am getting a tattoo before the end of the year.
It's going to be on my left hand/forearm.
A dying tree with spring flowers. Similar to the tree on Kyle's right hand/arm in the movie Beastly.

Mom wants me to get it in a different location. Somewhere that should be able to be covered up.

I think that I'm set. I don't think that I'm going to change my mind.

Dad is going to flip. hahaha.

Oh well.

I'm beyond excited. Yeahyeahyeahhhhh.

Rough sketches later in the year. I don't draw well, so they really will be rough to the extreme. ;]

It has been a while.
I am back though. :]

Now better than ever.

I still write a little. Still take plenty of pictures. [On a new awesome camera!!]
Just recently, I've gotten into quilting. :D I love it. I've done a few pillows. I'm trying to tackle a full sized quilt. I'm going to a cold weather college. lol. I'll need it.
There are several other new things that I've picked up over the past few years, but mostly, I'm the same ol' me. yay!





I should have some new stuff up tonight or tomorrow. ;D I am very excited about this!
