So, I'm gonna be out of pocket off and on, seeing as how the laptop crashed. I hate that computer. SO glad to be getting a new one in a couple weeks. SO bear with me as I am going through art withdrawal, only checking my email every few days and logging on to DA even less, seeing as how I'm using a friend's pc.

"I have.. some doubts as to His divinity:
Tho' it is a question I do not dogmatize upon,
having never studied it, and think it needless to
busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an
opportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble -
I see no harm however in its being believed. "

He wrote this to his good friend Ezra Stiles, the president of Yale, on March 9th of 1790 and he died a week later.

Chew on that awhile.

I know it's been more than a year and I apologize for being out of communication but I'm trying to get back. Right now I only have dial up so you can all feel my pain. Hang in there, I'm trying to turn out some new art and get back to my only love, DA.

Well, the Dane puppies that were born at the house on May 8th are getting HUGE and I love it. These kids have been in the house since the day they were born and until yesterday, most had never touched dirt or knew what it was like to be hot and dirty. But there comes a time when every kid must go out and get dirty and play in the sun.
The home we had lined up for the fawn/grey colored girl had fallen through and that's when I stepped up and said "I have to have her". She has been my favorite the whole time but I knew that we had people lined up for these kids... I could not pass it up. IF she has the right play drive, we will work her as a search and rescue dog. The mom, Onyx, has minimal drive but has a fear of men, so that will not work, as most people in search and rescue operations are men and what if we went on a search and the victim she found was a man? I guess we could find him by searching in the opposite direction she was running? Anyway, my new baby, Jade...

So I had a date with a guy who will remain nameless. First date went pretty good. Then he called me back for a second. I thought it was cool , so let's go to a metal concert. We had it all set up but he kept me waiting. Shit happens but he called so I waited at this bar down the road from his apartment so we could carpool downtown and only pay for parking once. And I waited...waited... then finally he shows up and he's bombed outta his mind on pills and alcohol (can't say I wasn't heading for the same place) but he was hanging on this chick and 15 minutes later he's all up on it and I left and he didn't even notice.
There was a day when that could have destroyed me. He was kinda hot. Tattoo'd, pierced, guitarist for a metal band, AND he had a job. OMG! But I even told my room mate from the first date that I didn't know why I wasn't just fuckin crazy about this guy. There was a day I would've waited by the phone for his call with baited breath. Nope. Am I gun-shy? God forbid grown up enough just to err on the side of caution? I don't know. But I left a lil pissed and lil hurt so I went to friend's house and got screwed up and had a great time. Sure i'm a little offended, I mean, why did he call in the first place? But I sure am not thinking about it much, let alone beating myself up about it. Oh well. Chalk it up to lessons learned I guess and move right along like nothing ever happened...because, truly, it didn't.
