Yeeeeeeah, I'm alive. Holy Bejesus it's been a long time. I know I know, last time I was on here I said I was going to come back and pay attention....that was a lie, obviously.

Mostly because I still wasn't right, in the head. Drugs alcohol and depression. Blah. No one wants to hear that bullshit, that is if anyone still even reads my ish. Hah. Otherwise...

I'm kosher now. Living in a one bedroom apartment, still working in the god forsaken warehouse. Was a plumber...did that, loved it. Market fell off and I got laid off. Mike-The-Super-Scanning-Receiver-Guy back to the rescue!!! Yeah, that's how I ended up back at the warehouse. I'm trying to figure what I want to do right now, not too sure. I do know that I am a blue-collar-working-class kind of person. No suit, tie and cubicle for me. I want to labor, get dirty and be in pain when I go home. AKA, manual labor fools!

As for my deviantARTing, not much really. Haven't been writing or drawing much of anything. My work of art, actually, has been a 1980 Volvo 242 GT. Over the past 10-11 months I have been working on building this Volvo. Bought it not running, tore it down, put it back together and got it to run....beautifully. Then it died. Fixed it again! Repainted it. Did some burnouts, drifted some corners, turned some heads (how many people see an old ass Volvo, shining that is a two door? not many) and then....drifted another corner into my neighborhood...blam, she died. So now I am in the diagnoses process. That's all I have really been doing. I know it isn't "art" per se, but to me it is. I took something that needed some serious TLC, and made it in my vision of what wanted it to be. So yeah, that car is my wife. Our life story together is all captivated right here: [link] .

Other than that, my life is working, playing bass, building parts for my car (i.e. a turbocharger), frisbee golf and a newly added hobby, longboarding. I have been wanting to start writing again, but I have no idea where to start. Anyone have any exercise ideas to get my moving? I would definatly appreciate it. Well, to those that take the time, thanks for reading. other than that...I hope to post something new for you all. Peace.
