The Chanly Chan Can!

Maybe a giant ate some soup...

What DOES one do once they find a giant spoon? Perhaps claim it as their own... and then become crestfallen after realizing that "MAH SPOON IS TOO BIG"

Pulled out the graphics tablet after a year of neglecting it. Using ms paint is a little annoying as the beginning of the stroke won't show up until you're already through the middle of the stroke. Then you curse as you have to go back and erase and fix and fix and fix. Good practice, though. As I get back to being better at drawing I shall draw more than stick figures. I should probably also practice drawing outlines on paper and then uploading it to the computer and enhancing it via graphics tablet... which I will do once I find a scanner.

Until then I've decided to expand my life with various art. I'll be learning some stuff on the harmonica here. Already on the tonguing, embouchure, rhythms, and straight/cross scales. Hopefully i'll be on that blues soon. Gotta dig them bluuuues. Day to day with my collar up.

Peace!

I remember those myspace bulletin quizzes. You know - the ones no one read unless they were also just as bored and wanted to fill out a new quiz. (Interestingly I haven't seen barely any new bulletin posts on my myspace since sometime last year.)

One of the questions brought up would inevitably be "If you could live forever what would you do?" usually followed by a tongue-in-cheek "I'm not going to live long!" sort of answer.
Clever remarks aside - EVERYTHING. The answer is everything! I would do everything.
Well sorta.
I would study everything. I would go out and research everything. I would come back to a university and teach everything. I would continually do this. With the promise that my body would not age any further, I'd keep this up forever. I simply cannot imagine taking one job and settling down with it for the rest of my life. Not even under the normal circumstances of my mortality could I feel comfortable settling down with the same thing every day unless I was doing it for my future children. Even then I wouldn't want to do the same thing every day.

Unless we're all boned for a supposed 2012 world-end, I want to do whatever the hell I can. They told me, in my kindergarden, that the world is my freakin oyster. That I could do anything I want as long as I put my mind and effort into it. Well given the chance I would.

I would get an environmental science degree and study wild life. I'd get a marine biology degree and study in the ocean. I'd go into genetics and cure SOMETHING at least. I'd delve into the depths of quantum physics. I'd work for NASA. I'd I'd learn economics. I'd join the peace corps multiple times in attempts to use the knowledge to help someone else.
I'd come back from research and field studies to teach at universities. I'd use new techniques from my studies and create new classes to teach students.

I'd finish everything on my bucket list, such as the countries to visit and the activities to do. The typical - bungee jumping, parasaling, sky diving, moutain biking, snowboarding, cave diving, spelunking, etc.
I'd read every book that I could stand.
I'd even become a Theologian - just for the hell of it. I'm sure teaching the classes would be... just hilarious.

Heard of that phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none?"
Fuck that. I want to be the master. No - I want to be the Professor. No - I want to be the supreme ultimate overlord of knowledge. Well sorta. It would, by no means, become a dictatorship.

There's one thing I do know, in this world of uncertainty: I would like to help. And people don't listen to SHIT unless they're paying for it. So why not get paid to be a teacher at a University? Making sure that others can also learn as much as possible about the world around them - I can dig it.

First Post

Well I hope to be posting here a bit nowadays. I wanna be working on my drawing and music and I want to eventually post a comic strip. I don't have the natural talent that some people seem to have with it, so it'll take me a lot of practice. Perhaps I should post a little something that I practice every day. Maybe that's a good method for it?

Eventually I'll do the comic because I have a lot of ideas!

It's good to have this documented somewhere because if the drawings just sit on my computer, I won't organize them and it'll be a giant mess x_x

Perhaps I'll even show this blog to my art friends someday if it goes well.. Until then, I'll enjoy my private little blog world.
