Sudden burst of...

After being in a creative slump a couple weeks ago, it would appear things are quite the opposite recently. I have been drawing like a mad man, and I am actually happy with the results.

That is rare. I usually never like what I draw, and stop half way through and never "complete" 85% of the things I start.

I don't know what exactly you can credit this to, but Star Tours re-opening may very well be one of them. I've said it over and over again how amazing this ride is, and I guess to me, it IS truly inspiring. The above picture is a direct attribute of that.

I recent put as a status update on Facebook that I may be interested in seeking a career as a MAD Magazine or Cracked illustrator.

Well.

I just may have started something on my own.

I've been having all these ideas of making "parodies", or "Weird Al" kind of drawings like crazy lately! I sketched out another one tonight. It should be ready to go in the next day or so and I think it is pretty funny!

I know I have been really slacking in the video department lately, but I will try and get some new ones out in the next couple of weeks. As most of you know, the Summer is the hardest time of the year for me to get to the parks so videos are slim. And Summer is upon us. But I will make it happen.

There were all kinds of grammatical errors going on there.

I really can't wait until the NBA finals are over. I miss watching the Orlando Magic. I know the whole Dwight thing is up in the air, but at the end of the day, thats all part of the game. I know what it is, being native to New York City, and being loyal and supportive towards "your team". I've lived in Orlando for well over ten years now, and my team is the Orlando Magic. No matter who plays for them! I can't wait until November.

Well, thanks to all 9 of you who read this. Leave comments! Im curios to hear how crazy you guys think I am!

More drawings coming soon!

Kiss your momma!

Social Anxiety

I have it.

It sucks.

I'll get over it.

Not bitching about it.

Simply letting everyone know that if you meet me, and you think, "Hey, this isn't how he is in his videos.", this is why.

It's not you.

It's me.

And I usually just need a couple of minutes to myself, or a drink, until it passes.

Ok.

That's it.

Move along and kiss your momma.

May 16th 2011

Today was a totally awesome day!

Woke up at 8:50am.

Showered.

Left the house and made it to Disney's Hollywood Studios by 9:30ish.

Met up with a Magic City Mayhem friend, Lee. Our mission. Ride Star Tours.

Because we are simply, "cool like that", we skipped the line our first go round on Star Tours. When I say "skipped the line", I mean, we used the fast pass queue.

We looked bad ass.

We got to our Starspeeder, and were assigned row number 1.

We stood there, entranced by the new over head video screens showing the new safety spiel.

All of a sudden, a stench of filth and sweat filled the air. Out of nowhere, like a siren breaking the silence of 4am, I heard a familiar voice...

"I've got a very bad feeling about this..."

It was Core Tomless.

My arch nemesis.

My friend hadn't yet noticed him until we boarded our Star Speeder. I didn't know that my friend and I shared a mutual disdain for this person either.

"Core!" Lee said when he actually realized he was seated in the row behind us.

I, for a brief second, contemplated on making a move to make the big lug flinch like the cowardly "gorilla monsoon" look-a-like he is, but didn't. I simply smiled and nodded at one of his companions that I considered a friend, and took my seat.

I feel like I was the bigger man this day. I didn't even have to make the comment, "I have a very bad feeling about this.". After we shared a ride on Star Tours, Core Tomless and his crew squandered off in a different direction, as me and my buddy rode 3 more times.

He left.

He fled.

Star Tours was mine for that moment.

I finally got to meet Henry Work this day as well. It was as painfully awkward as a first IRL meeting would be. But hey, we broke the ice for further adventures!

I have minor social anxiety. Not sure if I have mentioned this yet. Granted, it seems like it comes about on my own terms. But it is there none the less.

Big Star Tours meet up Thursday night at midnight. Hope to hang with the Hochbergs most of the night. They're good peeps.

Lots of drawing going on.

Kiss your momma.

Sleeeeeeeeeep....
