Old Sketchbooks

I was doing a little cleaning and reorganizing this weekend and I found a pile of old sketchbooks. You gotta love blind contours. You can tell it is old because I still had hair.Milwaukee’s Best Printer

NERD ALERT!!!

By on Aug 30, 2016

NERD ALERT! Is that still a thing? I remember growing up, being a nerd was the worst thing ever. At the time older people would say, “Look around, all those “nerds” will be the people you are working for.”Well I wouldn’t say that exactly, but it is funny how popular things like Pokémon GO have gotten. The rise of comic book movies is another example. Speaking of geeking out and Pokémon GO… I am so looking forward to Friday. School starts soon so my hours at work get condensed. I start later and end at the same time. In the summer I can start earlier so I get off early on Fridays. The last couple weeks I had visitors at the house so I was going home to spend time with them. Now I have my last Friday to myself.I am going to the zoo. The Milwaukee Zoo is one of the best places to POGO in Milwaukee. I just got my hair cut, so I’m looking nice. I...

Does it hold up? …And Justice for All

By on Aug 25, 2016

I’ve mentioned I am a runner. After a couple years my runs have gotten longer and while I have a playlist that I use for my fast run days, I have been listening to old albums that either I missed or that I used to love. Some of them hold up others do not.I have always loved music. My older cousin would make me mixed tapes of music, “I had to hear,” and when I visited him we would sit in his backyard with a boombox late at night trying to dial in New York radio stations so we could hear new hip hop music. I moved around quite a bit so friends came and went but my love of music was always strong. My middle school years were spent listing to metal. When I first heard Kill ‘Em All I was instantly hooked by the opening riff of “Jump in the Fire.” …And Justice for All was one of the first new releases I looked forward to. I bought the cassette the day it came out. I think I wore that...

Swedish What?!?

By on Aug 16, 2016

I had to try it and now I cannot wash the “flavor” out of my mouth. I like Swedish Fish but I’m fairly confident this is the worst decision I will make today. Which is nice to get that out of the way so early in the day.Milwaukee Printers

Warrior Nation

By on Aug 15, 2016

So I did it. My wife went to the airport and picked up my mother. Her trip went well. She didn’t get lost or make any wrong turns. She wasn’t happy but she did it and I am incredibly thankful. I was able to do the Warrior Dash. I was afraid I wasn’t going to have as much fun as I did last year because I didn’t stick around afterward to drink and party but I have to say I still really enjoyed it. This year it was at a new place so it was much more difficult. They had a hill that was so punishing. Everyone was complaining afterward. I loved it. While last year I thought the party was the highlight this year the course was actually challenging and even included a nice portion that ran through the woods. One of our teammates lost her shoe and had to complete the race with one we found. There were laughs and like last year a couple in our team completed the course...
