So I got the go ahead from my wife to get a PS3 tonite (that extra tax refund comes in handy, right?). Well I get to Gamestop and they happen to have a refurbished 60gig system, and a year warranty for 60 bones. So I think what the hell, never had a problem with a Sony console before. I get the console, Unreal Tournament, Component Cables, and Spiderman on BluRay.

I came home, hooked it up, turned it on…nothing. My TV says “No signal or Weak signal”. I fiddle around with it and get dashboard to pop up, sweet it’s ok! I go to the settings menu and choose “Set to default settings”. I immediatly recieve a scrambled screen and have to hard reboot the system. Not good. I turn the system back on, and it boots up fine. I fix my resolution, hook it up to the network and it all looks well and good.

I decide it’s time to see what this new-fangled Blu Ray looks like so I pop in the disc. SCRAMBLED SCREEN!!!! fd;slkfj;asdlkfja;sldkgj! !!! So I hard reboot again…nothing…again…nothing…>AGAING;sad;lg ;ajng;la jfks

NOTHING.

$496…for a paperweight. I called them. I’ll be returning this crap tomorrow for either (A) A guaranteed Metal Gear 80gig system or (B) A brand new 40g model.

The thing that makes me the most mad is I traded in my PS2 cause I thought I would have backwards compatablilty with this new PS3, and now I may end up with no BC at all. So needless to say, I’m a bit peeved.

….You thought I had given up drawing….

…You thought I had died…

…You thought I was woman….

BUT ALAS!

I SHALL RETURN!!!

(and I’m not a woman)

What’s going on: I’ve recently come to a decision, to re-enlist in the Navy! It wasn’t an easy decision to make and I won’t go into the details at the moment. But upon doing so, I have also decided that while I may not be creating comics for a living, a new series is in order. Enter “Keelhauled!”, a new series based off my trials and tribulations in the Navy. That is all for now.

Hi there…I’m still alive.  ;)

Look for a small trickle of activity here within the coming weeks…I’m trying to get back into drawing. I miss it too much not to do so anymore. Here’s to trying again.

The Navy…oh how I love my job. I don’t smoke, but I thought this was funny anyway. Laugh at it, or else.

Oh, and I just want to add: If you’re in the Navy and you take offense to this comic, grow the fuck up, it’s a joke. Thanks!

If you’re visiting from worldofwarcraft.com, thanks for stopping by! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can see the comic I made for the World of Warcraft comic contest here. It’s my second honorable mention thus far. I received my first for my dinosaur comic.

So thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you here again!

After seeing this, I have yet another goal to achieve. This is nuts, I can’t believe it. If I saw this in a magazine, I wouldn’t believe the girl didn’t look like the result to begin with. You need to see this.

Just thought I’d show off my photo retouching skills…I’m learning to do image manipulation. Pretty fun. This is my aunt Sheila! :)

Picked up The Darkness a couple days ago and beat it already. If you’re into horror games and first person shooters, I highly recommend this game. It’s amazing.

I haven’t been around much at all the last month. I have nothing to blame except laziness and school…and work…and the baby…and ponies. Truth is I haven’t been drawing too much lately, mainly because my computer shits the bed on a normal basis, and I hadn’t installed Photoshop or Corel Painter, for fear that my computer would just screw up again. But since I am starting art school now, I suppose I should install it. So I did. This “comic” was just me playing around with my WACOM board and Painter. I thought I’d put it up since its been awhile since I updates. Sorry for the roughness.

Have family visiting this week everyone, so no updates for you! :) I’ll update again next week.
