Dead End
So when do you know when to call it quits?
When do you realize that it's not going to get any better?
When do just decide that it's not worth the effort?
When do you finally stop. Look around. And see the "Dead End" sign?

Good run, Brett...
Yeah...this is about the same expression I was wearing when Tyne nailed that field goal.
I'm not a big football fan and usually only watch a game when it's convenient, or when it's a particular game that I really, really want to watch (like last night's game), but it was still a heartbreaking loss.
Still...a great game and I'm happy for the Giants and for Manning. I hope they do well in the Super Bowl.
And...I do hope Favre comes back for another season. He's such a blast to watch.

Macromedia Freehand: Heart Skull
Ya know... I just looked at the Calender and realized; We've only just begun the third week of 2008. This year already feels like last year (if that makes any sense).
I really hope I can make something of this year. Too many years have gone by with nothing substantial to show. No advancement. No victories. Just surviving.
Surviving sucks.
I want to thrive.
Here is one thing I did, though. I finally started doing some (very, very) simple stuff in vector via Macromedia Freehand. It's not much, but it's a start. I've been longing to learn to vectorize my art for a very long time, but I HATE vector programs. Just not intuitive at all.
Ah well...
This year I'm GOING TO start making beer and plush toys. Period. Not "I hope to", not "I'd like to", not "maybe".
I am.
I will.
I can.
And nothing, NOTHING can stop me!!

Dr. Zook's Death Star Logo
Been putzin' around making label logos for my fantasy microbrew, Dr. Zook's Hand-Crafted, Home-Brewed Black Market Beer.
I was given a Mr. Beer Home Brewing kit for Christmas and am really warming up to the ide of doing some higher quality, small-batch beers down the road so long as my interest holds...

Lolly Shawn?
So, my buddy Ed has had this thing lately about drawing silly figures, faces, etc. and then labeling them "Shawn" (me). Not sure how he got started or what his motivation is, but I've had my revenge.
We, "The guys", (Brian, Luke, Ed, Mike & I) get together to "play pool" every Tuesday night. In actuality we haven't played pool in a couple of months and even before that maybe 25% of the time.
Either way...we get together on Tuesday's at Brians; drink some beers, shoot the shit, and just bascially be guys (Ed, Mike & I away from the wives for the night). So this past Tuesday Ed, who is usually my designated driver, calls and tells me his wife needs to work some odd hours so he's home with the kids. He can't make it.
So I spent the entire night drawing "Ed" pictures in retaliation for all the "Shawn" pictures, two of which, I might add, Ed has gleefully stuck to Brian's refrigerator like a nine year old trying to impress mom & dad.
By the end of the night I had ended up with, I think, six seperate "Ed" sketches and had, in like fashion, stuck them all to the refrigerator. Next Tuesday being Christmas I doubt we'll be "playing pool" @ Brian's, but I can't wait until the next Tuesday and see Ed's reaction. We all had a good laugh at the sketches at Ed's expense this week and it should be a fun night.
