considering our world's current state of affairs, this sequential drawing seems all too appropriate:

Relishing the cool of the brick wall against his back he coaxes a slow drag from his cigarette and idly watches people walking briskly down the sidewalk; couples disappear and reappear as they move between shadow and light. He ponders the moment as he holds the smoke in his lungs. The moths flutter in the taoist hum of golden streetlight like a million empty matchbooks falling from the sky. 'Is all of this just a beautiful manifestation of purely random chaos?' he wonders as the soothing wave of nicotine washes over him, 'or is this the beautiful chaos of a perfect order?'. He carefully exhales smoke, watching the blue-grey whisps linger timidly for a moment before finding the currents that carry them on towards destiny.

hope you people are enjoying my purely random postings, kuz I sure am.

I just talked to Olivia on MSN. It went a little like this:

Lil' Liv says:

zee-roh says:

Lil' Liv says:

Lil' Liv says:

zee-roh says:

Lil' Liv says:

zee-roh says:
sweet!
zee-roh says:
good thing I caught you!
zee-roh says:
haha
zee-roh says:
well, I suppose YOU caught ME... but hey.
Lil' Liv says:
yeah, it's good times... i haven't gotten sick yet, the weather is beautiful.... some fucking huge spiders, though.
Lil' Liv says:
ok, cheers, gotta run!
zee-roh says:
oh mannnn... I hate spiders.
zee-roh says:
HAVE FUN!!!
zee-roh says:
SEE YA!!!

oh my god - that poor woman. I feel her pain.

Just a quick good-bye, I am off again to Calgary to compete, probably in the snow (shitty).
Wish me luck!

Al - thanks for lending me that book, it was awesome and I will return it when I get back.
Scott - I called you back today but you were out and then I forgot your cell number.

Methinks this should be a VICE DO. hahaha

where the hell IS everybody?

I think part 2 is really good. Better than the first part. I like the exchange between Captain Planet and Wheeler... especially how Wheeler has kind of 'sold out' and gone all corporate (what with the pie charts and everything). That's good stuff man! My only crit would be of that first scene with Ma-Ti... the scene is good, but it's not clear what's going on. Like, is he some sort of mob boss now? Or is he just a horny fat dude with a heart ring? It's confusing what his role is. And where are they exactly? In that shanty in the jungle? Why are they there... and then how does he all of a sudden get into the city marketplace? That's my only crit. Hopefully it's of some help. But other than that, this is fuckin brilliant work man! Can't wait for the third installment... you got me on the edge of my seat! ;P

Raffi is the best makeout music. I like to play it in my van when I'm picking up girlfriends at the playground. It puts them at ease.

Well, here we go: Chapter 2

I'm not really satisfied with this one, but here it is. - Help?

the Banana Phone song is the coolest thing ever!
I didn't think Raffi was still singing for kids...
I should pull out my old record

there were beans, beans, wearing their blue jeans
in the store, in the store
there were beans, beans, wearing their blue jeans
in the corner grocery store

My eyes are dim, I cannot see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have not brought my specks with me!

I loved Raffi growing up.
