I've been working nights cause the paint I've been using on some rides is pretty toxic. Don't want to make my fellow amusement park attraction workers breathe it all day. I really like working alone and at night in the shop as well as having a few mornings free to live like I used to, like the Bohemian I am. Gotta win that lottery so I can sleep late and have many more lazy espressoed mornings in my own dumb company.
The weather's finally turning civilized around here and I can feel my energy level rising with each longer day of sunlight.
The geese flying by outside are captivating.
They seem to fly in endlessly large flocks and the noise that eminates from these 'fluttering clouds' of gray and black commands attention.
"Honk If You Love Jesus" a sticker on one of their butts read.
This explains it.
Sadly I must gear up for work. Been painting white caps on water-slides all week.
More today, and tomorrow. Oh well, pays the bills and supports my habits, good and bad alike.
More soon.

Devious Journal Entry
It's rare for such large scale, tragic events such as the recent fire in, and (partial) demise of, the Cathedral of Notre Dame to evoke anything in my heart or mind but disappointment and stark sadness.
For some reason, this event seems alarmingly apropos and somehow fortuitously symbolic.
Let's face it... A good deal of the western world's capacity to appreciate things cultural, spirited, historic or simply of intrinsic value to humankind has been burning and collapsing for some while now.
It is my hope, that during the ensuing evaluation and reconstruction of this storied, sacred place, people might muster a renewed vigor around recogniz
Devious Journal Entry
This holiday season found me doing some store decorations for the local grocery chain(s) of Byerly's & Lunds as well as delivering packages for UPS here in my (new) rural neighborhood. The latter being to stay busy and make a little money while waiting for my new position at Triton Printing to commence, a position for which I interviewed, and accepted prior to Christmas.
For those who are unaware, I recently moved to a small town just west of the Twin Cities, about where silos begin to outnumber cell towers and train whistles narrowly trump jet noise in the prevailing soundscape. It's a mix of small towns, a few of which were in my territ
September
Well as I mentioned, I 'm no longer working at the hangar and after a couple short ventures into other types of work have decided to somehow do artwork again full-time.
With another Minnesota winter bearing down shortly I'm also contemplating a move. Somewhere warmer and kinder.
My little sister has just settled near the Space Coast of Florida and there are a few other vicinities of the country I'm considering. Las Vegas & Nashville (or southern Kentucky) are also in the mix.
In the meanwhile I'm doing a little more painting, a little tattooing for family & close friends and am helping a writer pal with a horror/sci-fi film project.

As usual, it's been a while since I've posted here on my dA cache.
This summer's been a mixed bag so far. Work at the hangar has been plodding along. Much less flying than last summer. If I'm to be honest, work on, and around those old warplanes is beginning to become mundane and uninteresting. Never imagined that would actually happen. Maybe it's the fickle Gemini inside or the fact that a good part of my youth was spent around such aircraft. At any rate, the novelty and excitement has waned decidedly. To go from rebuilding engines and fabricating parts with a fair amount of flying in the mix to being a glorified janitor has been disappoint

i did nights for a while, they didn't really agree with me,
i ended up spending most of my time in a zombie state, and i hate zombies,
the best part was sitting outside at 4am having breakfast in the summer,
it was so still and quiet even tho i was in a busy hospital in the middle of town,
that is the only thing i miss,
oh and the 14 hour catch-up sleep i used to do,
i've never felt more awake than after those nights
