Does it hold up… Cypress Hill

By on Oct 4, 2016

I am having a problem writing this because I have switched my opinion while writing. I put this album on for a run the other day and I was really disappointed. The album has its bright spots but for the most part it really doesn’t hold up.Then I put it on this morning to make sure it was fresh in my mind as I wrote this and I found myself liking it a lot more than I did the other night. B-Real is pretty great. His voice is unique and his rhyme scheme is wonderful. He has a uniqueness that stands out. When you hear him rap, you know it is him. DJ Muggs has always been an enigma to me. He is a hype-man with no hype. I suppose it would be too much to be like Flava Flav when your whole niche is being stoned. He definitely adds something but sometimes I wonder if it is anything worth while…I started this post last week. I was conflicted. Like I said before, I listened to the album and came...

Something New

By on Sep 29, 2016

I was asked to try something new. We are designing a new brochure at work and I was asked to take some product photos. Ummmm, OK. We acquired some lighting and I did some test shots.I have to say they turned out alot better than I was expecting. The above example was quickly taken. I barely spent more than 15 minutes setting everything up and taking the pictures. One thing that I have to say is, lighting is SO important. I know that everyone knows that but we bought a cheap $50 setup and it was definitely worth the money. We will have to buy a few more lights but even the cheap setup was impressive.Milwaukee Printing with Awesome ServiceOnline Calendars and On-Demand Printing

Pokémon GO continues…

By on Sep 26, 2016

I went to visit some family this weekend. It was my nephew’s birthday so I took him Pokémoning. We went to a park in Neenah, WI. I was really looking forward to spending time with my nephew. He was the reason I started playing Pokémon in the first place. Honestly I’ve gotten a little burnt out on playing. The new buddy update was ok but all the spots are starting to seem the same. I haven’t added anything to my Pokédex in a while so aside from hatching eggs it has gotten a little mundane. Neenah was SO much different. It was so much fun. There were all kinds of new Pokémon. My nephew was in heaven. We were super cold sitting on the lake but other than that it was great. He had a smile on his face the whole time.The other thing that was great was seeing the diversity of people. There were all types of people. One picnic table of players looked like extras from The...

Beer

By on Sep 20, 2016

I like beer. Nope, that is incorrect. I love beer. Probably a little too much. I have a habit of making things a habit. This is something that I know about myself. When I take an interest in something I explore it to its limits. Beer is a good example. I will not drink Budweiser or Bud Light. I will not. I would much rather drink water. I will occasionally drink Miller, but that is unavoidable in Milwaukee. I like what is becoming know as “hobby” beers or “craft” beers. That is a bit of a misnomer, especially here in Milwaukee. We have a few local breweries that are actually quite big. MKE is one that I like. Their staple Louie’s Demise is my go-to. One thing I cannot stand are flavored beers or alcoha-pops. As far as I’m concerned Mike’s Hard Lemonade is one of the worst things to happen to alcoholic beverages. There is a reason they market to “manly men” and that is because no...

Finally Finished

By on Sep 19, 2016

Finally finished this one. Too bad the picture is so lousy. All in all it didn’t turn out too bad. Just have to figure out what to draw next. I’ve been so busy with work it is hard to find the time to do anything especially draw. It could be worse though. I’m getting some overtime which is nice and just having a job is always a good thing. It is easy to complain when things are going well and you loose sight of how things could be.I have to admit I’ve been neglecting my friends. I have been focusing on family. It seems like things are working out too. The girls wanted to color and play with Play Doh this weekend so I was able to finish this drawing while enjoying my coffee. All-in-all it was a pretty good weekend. I didn’t work as much as I should have, which is probably why my weekend was so good. We went apple picking on Saturday and on Sunday we...
