Ego 2: The Klingon

My formative years were dominated by this shade of personality... always looking for a challenge and always on the defensive while validating my opinions and beliefs. My closest friends started referring to me as this character, or simply "The Old Beast". Despite it all, I did have a warm and fuzzy side (I simply kept it out of the sun's light).

Ego 1: The Kid

After many days of darkness as a result of Hurricane Sandy hitting the Tri-State area, I was left in a reflective mood, and recalled various periods of my precocious childhood, and how I was a little different from my peers. Ahh... if they only knew!

The Last Cookie

Just did something quick to add to my day. The image came to me during a phone conversation so I tried to jot it down quickly in a few minutes between calls. Almost lost the thought in a "Dirk Gently" moment... Douglas Adam's "Holistic Detective" stated that the human brain can only hold seven coherent thoughts at any moment, think an eighth thought and the first thought falls completely off the brain.

About the Banner

I think I'm happy with the banner... it went through a very few permutations to get it right. I was fortunate to know what I wanted on first thought, and just had to work through it to get it right between yesterday's post and today. As always, comments and critique are welcome (although I have been known to stone Critics in the past, I try not to maintain such pastimes). After a few hitches with the design, I still love Photoshop...

Just One of Those Days

And then there are those days... have you ever felt like the Lord of the Trash? Angry or just fiending for that certain something and you just don't know what you want? I've been having just that kind of day.

Would You Do This?

I've always enjoyed "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe... it really grants a bit of perspective to see that there are a lot of necessary tasks that really brave and staunch souls are willing to do to help maintain our civilization. Some of those tasks are truly horrific or nauseating, and not for the faint of heart or weak constitutions. I salute them.

Is It Paranoia?

This was intended as my upload for Friday's sketch of the day, but I got a little sidetracked with a few other projects and some design iterations of  a Troop Transport so this "Ambush" was delayed in completion.
