I hate it when I mope

That was too emo. Here's a picture of me and Santa:

And if that isn't enough to recover:

Thanksgiving

I'm thankful that I get to go home for Thanksgiving. I haven't been in Indiana since June so you can understand how I miss it so much. Sorry I haven't posted here much. I'm in a turbulent time in my life so I haven't been the artist I want to be. I hate to post about my emotions (this isn't a live journal this is an art blog!) so I clam up during hard times.

I've been interning at AMS Pictures and I'd tell you all about it except I signed and NDA so it's a secret. It's a great place and if this results in a job I'll be living here in Dallas for a nice long while. If it doesn't then I guess it's time to move back to Indianapolis.

I guess it's time to post my LATE Halloween pictures now.


It's also prudent that I finally post my (not as late but yes they are) photos from the Whispering Pines excursion. They're pretty neat.


Moving to Dallas hasn't been easy. I've had to rely on people more than I'm comfortable with and give up a measure of my own personal freedom. I'm grateful for opportunities I've been given here but I'd give it all up to have control again.

Wispering Pines

Boy am I bad at blogging. I've been in Dallas for a week but you wouldn't know it from this site. Bigger news is that I've been in Trinity, TX shooting the Spirit international amateur golf tournament at the Whispering Pines golf course.
We got to sleep in a little longer today, here in Trinity,TX and enjoy an amazing sunrise on the lake. Expect a full report later including my hole in one shot, the sexiest foreign women, and chasing of deer.

Dallas Is On

We made it. After all the trouble in the world, we made it. So far, Dallas is a great city. I can't wait to see Cara and Jeff. Naturally, I have to wait. That is what tomorrow is for.

Today's biggest ordeal was the mystery of my lost Phone. In truth, it was lodged in a crack under the passenger seat, stuck on silent, (or "sounds off activated" as Verizon insists) the whole time. Convinced that it had been lost at a rest stop two-hundred miles back, I deactivated the phone. Then, as I was filing an insurance claim to get a new phone, (that would arrive as soon as Tuesday) my always amazing mom found the phone. Of course it was in a place that I had thoroughly checked.

Other events of note:
Avoiding the President George Bush Turnpike for entirely political reasons. (also it was a toll road)

Reading Al Franken's Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them) while on the road.

Starting Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss not long after that.

Letting the GPS take us to the middle of nowhere because it's a shorter distance if we don't use the interstate.

That leading us to Pecos, TX on high school football night.

That leading us to seeing a 16 year-old screw up while filling her SUV up and spilling a gallon of gas everywhere. I thought she was going to set everything on fire.

Seeing this guy's picture in our first hotel room back in Arizona.

Odessa

We're settled in for the night in Midland/Odessa, TX. Totally saw the football stadium from Heroes season 1.
