Octopus


Hey look ... I drew a cool Octopus and I really like it. It's just pen on paper in my sketch book but it needs a new home so if you're interested, get it here: http://bit.ly/byronshorde

How has your day been so far? It's hump day and things were a little blah this morning but then paypal hit the bank and life is a bit more cheerful. We don't have to worry about how we're going to  buy food for the cats ... as well as the humans and the dog, for at least a week or two. Bills have already been paid and we no longer have to worry about the phone or the electricity being cut off. Life is pretty good atm and there's still 9 hours left!

Today has also been a day of self discovery for both my wife and I ... a day of talking, reflecting and remembering. We are coming upon a season that is very emotional for most people, whether we admit it or not. This season brings feelings of anxiety, depression, joy, fear ... the list could go on for a very long time. I'd lose focus and ramble elsewhere so I'm stopping there. The point is that it's an emotional season because WE let it become that.

For the rest of this blog I'm going to refer to we but it really means ME and other people that might think and act like I do. I'm sure there are others out there like me, just as I'm sure there is life on other planets. So yeah ... anyways. RIGHT?

now i've lost track ... and the shift key on this keyboard doesn't work very well so there is going to be some capitalization errors. If I stop to correct it every time I'm going to lose another train of thought.

Where was I?
Can't remember at the moment, I'll come back to it ...

Oh yeah ... tis the season to over spend and over worry and end up having a lousy time because past experiences have told you this is how life is and this is how your holidays should be and look at all those people over there ... they're having a great time ... why can't you be more like that.
Do you know what I mean?
Does this season freak you out a little?
Do you get sad and depressed that you can't afford to buy your friends and family all the stuff that your friends and family can buy for their friends and family?
I do


and it sucks.
My wife and I are trying to combat these feelings by talking about them ... which is weird but helpful ... and trying to talk about how things were when we were kids and then connecting the dots. We act this way because we were taught to act that way when we were kids ...
it really sounds like psychology bullshit stuff but it makes sense if you open up to the idea of it.

I feel like I'm getting preachy and I'm taking to long on this, I need to get some art done before all my time is up. So ... I'm leaving it at this point. What are your thoughts? Am I sort of on to something or just full of shit? Let me know.

Have a great rest of your day ... no matter what day it is that you're reading this :D
