Making lists.

Lists are one of my favorite things. They are surprisingly helpful little tools, and I find I make one most every day. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of lists, of varied content. They help me keep things in check, remind me what to do, and are basically a good way to fill time. I have a little black book, where I do in it is write lists.

I love lists. Grocery Lists, Playlists, all of the lists. All of them. In fact, I’m going to write one right now,  and then copy it into my book later.

List of things I one day want to do:

1.       Learn to make flash animations.
2.       Travel the world.
3.       Make an apple pie.
4.       Hug someone when they need it most.
5.       Make more lists.
6.       Paint something amazing.
7.       Swim in a fountain. Again.
8.       Kiss in the rain.
9.       Finish, publish, sell my book/graphic novel.
10.   Inspire someone.

Just from making this one little thing, it made me think about all of my life ahead of me. Sometimes it looks like a longer life, and sometimes it could just be a few more years. Who knows? It’s kind of exciting, not knowing. In a scary kind of haunted house way.

Getting the ball rolling.

Welcome, friends, to my barrel of retarded fun.

As you can likely assume from the title, there will be much ado about nothing here. I simply made this blog at an attempt to profoundly word myself, collect my thoughts, share my discoveries, and grow up a little. Much of what you’ll read about here will be of my journey as an aspiring artist. But think of this as a fun grab-bag of hootenanny and tomfoolery.

To be frank, I don’t even know what I’m doing here. I suppose it’s a desperate attempt to get my words out of my head before they consume me. Or on a lighter note, it could just be exactly what it sounds like.

Stupid enjoyment.

However, in the future this may change. Since I am a slightly capricious person, and people minds tend to wander (as mine does almost exclusively), eventually the content will change. On some days I may be serious, on others, I may simply post links to things that make me giggle. I might even add little excerpts from my current project(s). Who knows? It will be quite the adventure.

I hope you enjoy the ride. There’s a lot of fun to be had, and we’re practically rolling in it.
