PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 12

Today was a fun day, and decently productive for me. I have been reminded of how many blessings I have been given throughout my life and of the hope I can extend for things to come. In pondering the meaning of the Easter season and what I hope to accomplish in my life, I think I can feel something is starting to happen. And when all is said and done, I think I will be closer both to Jesus and the person I want to be.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 11

Still gotta catch up, hopefully tomorrow.

Lately I've been listening to my friend's podcast a lot (which will be the topic of it's own post in the very, very near future) and one of the things I like best about it is that my friend and his co-host are very candid about a myriad of several different topics, which I think is very refreshing considering how many people (myself included) often try to soften or sugarcoat our feelings in order to make them more palatable to others.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 10

Ah, I've fallen behind a day... I will make it up soon.

Today's topic is another more introspective look... I'm going to be writing about a particular problem I have with following through with plans or ideas. I've actually been called out on this problem and it's definitely something I have to get over.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 9

Last night's post was kind of heavy and still didn't really say everything I wanted to about God... but for this post I think I'm going to kind of scale back and just talk about some life experiences.

A look at some Zombie Shark Bear progress...

Here's a quick look at an art test image for my hopefully-soon-to-be-worked-on project Zombie Shark Bear. I don't quite think I'm going to be going this direction after all, but I'd definitely like to hear your opinion on this.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 8

Well, I guess I missed a day... but there are reasons for that and I will be doing two posts tomorrow!

I complained a little about this in my last post, but.... I gotta stop posting so late. I'm so tired I really don't want to type or continue to be awake, it's also hard to think but this project is about sacrifice of time toward strengthening my relationship with God and making myself a better person.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 7

Technically this should be Day 8 because of the intro but whatever... I've been at this for a week!

I really should start writing these posts earlier so that I'm not so tired when I try to sort my thoughts since I really would like to get into more insightful topics like what I think the nature of love is and why I think God is, in fact, logical despite what some might think. Unfortunately, though, I'm tired while writing again and today was quite frustrating, so I'd like to keep my post short for today.

CAPTAIN THOR MAN

It's been a few years since Plastic Booty effectively wrapped our work on our THOR Designer Figure, and now we've finally received pics of a completed figure... and it turned out AWESOME!!

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 6

Today I really haven't thought too much about religion, but I have been thinking about being an artist and finding success in my own way. I know I briefly touched on my artistic woes the other day, but motivating myself as an artist and writer has been extremely difficult.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 5

To be honest, I really don't feel like writing anything today. My stomach hurts from eating too much, and I'm extremely exhausted. I'm also not too sure what it is I want to write about today.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 4

Not too much to say today... I spent the majority of the my free time today reading Prunus Girl and Steel Ball Run, Part Seven of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, so I really didn't get a chance to just sit back and ponder things.

When I read comics like Jojo, which have a history spanning decades, I really look at my own body of work and regret not working more diligently on my own stories. I can only hope that I will continue to improve and find stronger motivation through my continued efforts.

Since today's post is short... here's an illustration...

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 3

Whoops! Almost forgot today's post!

Being as today was Sunday, I think the most appropriate thing to talk about would be today's sermon at church. Today's Gospel was about Jesus meditating in the desert for forty days and forty nights while resisting the temptation of the devil.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 2

Friends and family are the greatest gifts in the world.

Relationships with other people are really the most enriching experiences you can have, and the more valuable than anything. Don't let small things, or even big things, come between them if you can.

Today's thoughts are super simple, but very important to enjoying life to the fullest.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Day 1

For my first Lenten blog post, I suppose it'd be a good idea to start with who I believe God is and why my faith is so important to me.

PALS WITH THE BIG G: Lent Blogging

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and in trying to come up with something to give up in order to better myself, I decided something that would help me even better than giving something up would be writing daily blogs about my experience as a 30-something Catholic artist/ customer care consultant bachelor in California.

So, that's going to be my Lenten project.

I was thinking of writing an entry about Pope Benedict's retirement this week, but I think I will take some more time to really get my thoughts on the topic in order. I also want to write about more conventional topics like the toy shows last weekend in New York and Japan. Lots of cool stuff announced. 

It is very late, and I am very tired. I think I will write a post tomorrow with more substance, but I am glad I wrote something today.

God bless everyone!
