Newness

So I'm thinking of a new title for my blog. I still think too much, but I'm not the same brooding Jon that I was when I started blogging. Which makes me feel kind of good. And so, I want my blog to reflect that. Right now it's showing (thanks to my banner) a beginning of new life (or a new heart). And so, I want the title to change.

Anywho, I did some tracing today to work up my art skills. I'll do more tomorrow. And possibly write. Possibly. Well, I'll see you guys in the morning.

Too Much Cute... But Also Not Enough

Hey guys! I thought of sketching a little today. But I didn't. Fail. I'll do it tomorrow. I didn't cuz I've been reading chibi vampire, a totally chibi/kawaii manga brought to the us by tokyopop. You should read it, if you're into cute stories. Something inside of me says that this is reminiscent of twilight, but chibi came long before that did, so I can still feel good about myself. You can read it online if you want. Anywho, enough about chibi, and not-done-sketches, here's that picture of my haircut. Personally, I think it's a little odd, but I can't tell why. Decide for yourself:

Uhh... [Insert Good Title Here]

Good evening guys! Kind of a late post today, but meh. So, I got my haircut, and pictures of that will be up in the morning. Also, my scanner started working again! Yay! So I will work especially hard on a sketch for you guys, and will have it by Friday, I promise. That, and if I finish the sketch soon enough maybe a short story. But that I don't promise.

[Insert laying in bed with eyes closed trying to think of something interesting or profound to say, and then having mind wander off into sketch ideas for ten minutes]

Well, that's all I've got. Maybe I should've posted when my brain was working a bit better.

A Note To My Readers

Hey guys! Do to the fact that I have indeed begun working more on my book, my time to sketch and write short stories has gone down exponentially. In light of this, The Arts Fridays will now only occur once every two weeks, so as to give me more time to work on something that I can actually post as opposed to just my book, which I will post no more excerpts of. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope that you continue to visit my site.

Summer Checklist

Hey guys! So I've decide to make a summer checklist for myself, of things I wanna do before the summer is over. I've never made one before. So here goes:

- Get at least halfway through writing my book.
Note: the following is tricking from freerunning, NOT parkour.
- Learn to palm flip
- to palm spin
- to wall flip
- to wall front flip
- to Kip-up
End tricking
- to cartwheel (I still can't do one. At all.)
- Run a 6 minute mile (sprint speed, not average speed)
Begin parkour:
- to Kong Vault
- to Speed Vault
- to Dash Vault
- to run up a 10' wall (I can only do a 9' or so now, whatever height Mike is with his arms raised above his head plus 6")

And that's about it. On paper, it seems like I should be able to do it. Realistically, once I get some of the tricks the rest will follow, but I expect the most trouble from the wall run, and the mental issues with a Kong and the flips, although as I said once I do one flip I expect to have gotten over that, save for the front wall flip. Here's hoping I can do it!
