I really just like that quote. I've been using it a lot lately. I feel like I should be blogging right now. I've accomplished a lot today in preparation for my trip to Comic-Con. I probably shouldn't be going as money has gotten tighter. But ya know what? I have free tickets, so I don't care. And I have some money in savings, so I'm not too worried. Just requires a little bit of self control.
Now for something completely different...
Let's see, for starters I had a lot of family in town for 2 weeks, which was pretty fun. A little crazy and I didn't get to swing dance much or visit with friends, but I got to see family that I haven't seen much of, so that was fun. My sister's wedding was pretty awesome. It went REALLY super fast. And if you find me on facebook, you can see all the amazing pictures I have from that wonderful day. It was quite a site to behold. For starters we made faces, we as in my sisters and I. Faces faces faces. Even WHILE the wedding was going, there was face making going on. The video should be interesting to watch. And yes, there are actual pictures of me JUST smiling. I know it's hard to believe. Some of the cool things that happened aside from the epic face making pictures, was the dancing. My mom's side of the family, my sisters, and cousins and Susi's fiance Shawn (yes, they are engaged now, I'll talk about that in a minute) were ALL dancing. It was so much fun. I did some swing dancing with my awesome Grandma (Oma for those Dutch people out there). I love my Grandma so much and it was so awesome of her to actually take some lessons before coming out. She was so cute about how excited she was to be able to dance with me. Needless to say, we were awesome. I danced with my mom, Kim, Sue, and uh... I'm sure there's someone else in there. It was a great party. Even looking at the pictures, you'd be surprised to know that there was NO alcohol there. Hard to believe considering how much fun we had... but hey... that's my family for ya.
So ya, Susi is engaged to get married... finally. Yay!!! I was, and still am SO excited. Susi and Shawn have been together quite some time, so it kinda feels like they have already been married. Shawn is already part of the family, and I know for a fact that their wedding is gonna be pretty legendary as they are both dancers and both sides of the family are crazy fun outgoing large groups of people. Shawn took Susi to Europe, and proposed to her at sunset at a quaint restaurant over-looking the Mediterranean Sea... if I have that correctly. Lucky for me, I saw the ring when I was out in New York this last June. So now... apparently, I'm the last one. And oddly enough, I don't feel weird about it. In fact, nothing about my sisters' being married is weird to me. What might be weird is when I become an uncle. But I think that might be more rad than weird. Or just a weird radness that I can enjoy.
Let's see... what else did I want to write about. My photoshop pictures have gotten better, my flyer work hasn't... I feel like I'm loosing juice on the flyers. The website isn't too bad, but I have some expectations and wants for a better look, that I'm never satisfied with what I've done after I've done it. My own worst critic I know. My comic strips aren't too bad either. I'm thoroughly enjoying my digital camera. So many more pictures than before... Most likely TONS of pictures and blogging from Comic-con will happen. And just an FYI, comic-con isn't a total nerd thing anymore. It's really just the title of the convention that's nerdy. Sure there are some comic-book and star wars stuff. But being that Hollywood has completely over taken it, it's become a sanctuary for all things Hollywood really. Movie previews, movie stars, TV shows, and all the actors and producers and directors fans could want. That's what it's all about, not to mention all the freebies that you can get, that aren't typically just crap merchandising tools and throw away plastic baubles that just take up space in that spare drawer you call a junk drawer. No sir. T-shirts and posters that are of fairly high quality. Pretty awesome if you ask me, which I'm sure you would if you wanted to know more.
So, here I am at the end of my blog, probably with more to say that I can't think of at the moment... I just realized that this blog is attached to my facebook. Hahaha... I forgot about that... I tend to blog and then it goes to my facebook and annoys... i mean... announces that I've written something to everyone. Eh. For those who don't know, I'm writing on blogger.com.
And as my final words:
Congrats to both my sisters; Kim for getting married, and Susi and Shawn on their engagement. Good times will most definitely follow. Whoo Hoo!
