i shoot some odd things

this is an image i shot to create some textures.

cold pizza, warm beer

actually i'm not. i reheated the pizza from last night and my beverage is dr pepper. starting to settle in to my new position. i think i can make an impact. it doesn't hurt that my other job wants to know if and when i can work shorter shifts on the same day i work job 1. also today got a call from a previous short term gig offering me at least a day of work, which would probably lead to the possibility of more. couple that with another previous offering me about two weeks of stuff and a resume i sent in before job 1 locked down, called hours after i sent inquiring. after a strange bit of time it feels like the thing i do the best is finding the correct footing again. i needed to humble and step away from the madness i had wrapped up in. reset the machine before a critical and irreparable blow up happened. i feel a thousand times better. it all comes around

the random world

rode to work at my fastest clip so far. 8.5 miles,right about 50 minutes. pretty good for only being back on the bike a not quite two months. Over course life always throughs curves. walked out of the store to find my tire flat. it would not reinflate. had to walk the two miles down to Kmart and buy a new tube - i really recommend fixing a flat in their parking lot

we turn our attention to the quality of a television show. The Rockford Files, starring the charismatic James Garner. It truly was L.A. Noir. decades later it stands up - a remake is in the works - some of the original producers are involved - the question is who will play Rockford

writers and artists blending together to form a true team - comics recent failing truly has to do with the lack of those teams - partnerships have produced some of the best comics ever. i miss the days of those wolfman/perez - levitz/giffen - thomas/ordway - claremont/byrne - miller/mazzuchelli - barr/aparo - o'neil/cowan collaborations. Azzarello/Risso is the only team that i think fully lives up the that benchmark

before i forget or things i really need to write about

traffic court. today. not successful. i repeat not successful. in other words i am out $175. i am irritated and frustrated. i still feel that i did not violate the particular law in the complaint. however i failed to focus on the details and structure of how that particular system works. in the instance of traffic court it really is not about justice. it is a revenue generation system for the city governments. i forgot that. judges are not impartial. they are employees of the city. by structure the more cases they overturn or turn out potentially equals less money in their own pockets. it is a downturn economy right now. as i said i forgot this fact. irritated and frustrated its time to move on. i do wander with all these budget cuts circling around, how much additional revenue gets lost when a city lays off, fires, or an officer resigns and is no longer available to appear in court. Could the scale of layoffs being proliferated by the media intensify the problem by a revenue gap that causes more job losses and perpetuates the cycle.

still probably thinking faster than i should. thankfully that isn't a crime

Saturday contentment

a little net surfing today found me a great conversation between Ho Che Anderson and Howard Chaykin and a character update for Steven Moffat's fantastic show Coupling. Small details bring humor and interest to my life.

I calculated that I have ridden 624 miles since January 12th. I am feeling the effects. more flexibility and great strength. body and mind continue to grow stronger. quite the difference from eight months ago

Returning to the living

Everyday I feel stronger. The challenges are far from over but I know that if I keep on fighting I will make it through. My old sensibilities are reawakening. Refreshed and more diligent than before. I am starting to find direction and purpose. Work. This is my GOSPEL.

Glittering Inspiration

As always work is my lifeblood. For the past two days and probably tomorrow as well, I have be covered with glitter. I have been unpackaging and hanging christmas ornaments in a new store that I am working to set up. Long days but its great to be working. Summer vacation was nice but lasted too long. I am trying to be more disciplined and focus on writing and executing these ideas that i come up with

An old book has taken a new turn as a supporting character has changed gender. I like this change it allows for a new spin and I have a person in mind to base this character after.
