lucky ducky

despite having arms of two different lengths x.o

but i wanted to say that things can look real rough sometimes but i promise that something will come along that will remind you how blessed you are. you just have to keep your mind open in order to see it. :)

funny story...while i was posting this, crash bandicoot kept repeatedly dying in the background because i didn't know i was supposed to be fighting a boss battle. whoops.

some nights intro part 1

hey, folks! sorry for the lack of posting, things have been crazy with both moving in/getting stuff done and figuring out the scanning on my friend's computer and la la la. but since i didn't post yesterday, you get a SUPER update! it's the first verse of "some nights (intro)" by fun. enjoy! ;D

don't we all

hey folks! i'm heading off to college tomorrow, which may be temporarily detrimental to this blog. my friend that lives down the hall has a scanner, but i'm not sure if it will be compatible with my laptop. if not, i'll use the crappy school scanners.

buuuut try not to be surprised/too disappointed if i don't post for a couple of days. i have enough extras to last a couple of days, at least.

the wayne brady to my dave chappelle

it's been a stunning four months since i first drew this picture, the day my girlfriend and i started dating. we've been apart (distance-wise) for three of those four months, but i drove out to see one of her shows last night and she was as incredible as ever. i'm in for another four!

for me and for you

the inevitable burden of false hope: part the first

don't go

it was not enough. not enough.

fear not, faithful readers~

i have not abandoned you! my parents and i were watching downton abbey last night and time simply got away from me. but at least i've found a new show to obsess over! :'D

i apologize for the lack of post and any in the future, because i doubt this will be the last time i forget!

a man named peter

today was the annual wounded warriors weekend event that's held on our lake, and i was working as a lifeguard over there. and today i met a man named peter.

peter has severe brain damage (or, as he says jokingly, dain bramage). it's been three years since his accident--i don't know the specifics of it--and he has since had to relearn pretty much everything. he even  had to relearn his own identity.

but talking to him, you'd barely know. his mouth lilts a bit. he has a metal brace on his leg and uses a walking stick. his right arms shakes when he lifts it. but i feel so blessed to have met him. he was friendly and kind and intelligent and i think that he's amazing for being able to do all he has with his disability. he didn't let it stop him. he's since gone back to school and he is getting a degree in political science.

and i hope that i can begin trying to be as strong and brave as peter is. we really don't always realize how lucky we have it.

in my mind

things that aren't really happening

just okay

CAVEAT: not every post will always relate directly to ME or to what i am dealing with in the present. many of these are doodles i've found in old notebooks, many are quotes i've found or heard other people say, and many are things that i've thought or felt in the past but no longer do. some are relevant, but not all. 


this webcomic is not a personal documentation of my life, but rather a documentation of life itself from many different points of view.
