Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's my niece. Princess-o-rama in the house. Drives my poor brother nuts. We've started training her and she's taken to it, so Matt's got his lifeline, as well as good reason to come to the dojo more often.

I've got two of them and am convinced that it's impossibly to keep all the frilly princess stuff out of the house. I have barred the Disney princess movies. We watch Pixar stuff mostly. I've gotten a lot of my old Disney favorites on DVD, Robin Hood, Peter Pan and Jungle Book. Next up and The Aristocats and The Sword in the Stone.

Bratz stuff is strictly forbidden upon pain of death.

The girls don't have to have my tastes and enjoy martial arts and comic books, but I honestly think this 'princess lifestyle' that's been pushed on the little girls is not healthy.

OK, Duck and Cover Studios is jumping on our high horse. We're sick and tired of assholes trying to make themselves out as being better than us. Chris got gutted in a critique from a girl who does a webcomic and has half his talent. But he took it, because she was one of the big guests at that show and we try to behave.

Then Chris gets an offer from another studio who need an artist for their book. The previous artist left, and I'm pretty sure I know why. They update this comic twice a MONTH. They had another artist they were interested in as well. So, Chris bangs out some character sketches and some other production stuff and has it to them two days later. How'd he do it so fast? Because he's Chris ******** Johnson. That's how. So two months go by and since the other artist NEVER BOTHERED TO SUBMIT ANYTHING, the ******** in question finally get their heads out of their asses and give Chris the gig.

And they give him the script... for one page. WTF?

Two days later Chris submits the page. A month after that the retards finally get back to him, wanting changes.

Screw those Kevin Smith ripping off ********. Clerks came out 15 years ago, try ripping off s**t that people actually care about anymore. These clowns want to try to come off like they're professional? If they were professional they'd actually be churning out content.

Heaven help all these geeks if I get on a panel with them next year at Marscon. They want to sit there all high and ******** mighty because they coughed up some cash for webspace and have a scanner? Fine. Lock and load, assholes. You're all going down.

My daughter is just too adorable. Can't resist posting pictures!

I was informed that after taking these pictures I fell asleep. While i was sleep she starting bouncing up and down on the couch while I continued to sleep. Never knew Go! Diego Go! could be so exciting. domokun

Hey, that Diego is a happening cat.

Great pictures. 3nodding heart

Hand made, solid oak tonfas. MINE! scream heart

I'm sure my chest pains are signs of joy.

Well, we'll see what the Cardiologist says about my manly masochism after my appointment tomorrow.

And that doctor better have dug the rest of that tick out of my leg yesterday. scream Stupid ticks. Now, I gotta pop pills the size of horse tranquilizers for about two weeks to try to prevent Lime Disease. stressed

There's nothing heroic about anything I do. Stupid =/= heroic.

My week has been very odd. Not much happened though what did is just werid.

Monday night I met up with my best friend Crystal at a bar nearby. We ended up running into someone that went to our highschool. He was out with his friend for his friend's birthday. So when I was about to leave for home sense i only have so long until i have to go home during the week. Well the birthday boy seemed very drunk and very very upset. So when i did the polite thing and say bye, though he dragged it out a little too far.

Him: Hey, You need to come to my party on saturday.
Me: I'll have to see, I have to get a babysitter. the people free on the weekend are a bit expensive for me.
Him: Well tell you what, i'll pay them time and a half so you can come.
Me: You want to pay 15 dollars an hour for me to come to your party? You just met me.
Him: Yeah, what do you say.
Me: Maybe. I'll have to get back to you.
Him: I want an yes or no answer, now.
Me: *looks at him as he's very very drunk and sluring. somehow i ended up feeling sorry for him* Tell you what, If crystal is going then i'll go.
Him: Well lucky me, she's coming
Crystal: No i'm not i'm working.
Me: sorry dude, but i don't go to parties where i don't know anyone there i trust.
*he proceeds to beg and bug me until i repeat myself a good 20 times and then leave after he said in a pittying kind of way. "i'm sorry."*

Couple days later i met up with my friend Crystal at the place she bartends at. We were just chatting about some things when two of the guys she just got extremely drunk started bugging us to go to this bar that had Guitar Hero playing as a contest for people. Then they started asking how much money we made in a day and then started how much it would take for us to go to the bar with them because they needed groupies to watch them play. Next thing i know Crystal lets out "It'll take you 100 dollars and two back rubs to have us go with you."

So then she told me to call her mom to watch Aurora for 50 dollars and got the money from them and gave me her car keys sense my car is horible on the trip.

Hours later when we showed up they were not there and we started talking with the bartender whose a friend of hers and some other people. Next thing I know Crystal and her friends are ordering me drinks. When the room starts to spin I look at her.
Me: You planned this.
Her: Yep. that i did.
Me: Why?
Her: Because you never relaxed and I knew this was the only way to do it.
Me: You F**king manipulating devious B***H! I LOVE YOU! *hugs*

Course at that time the room is spinning around and around for me. eek We ended up walking out with the bartender after the bar closed. I'm just surprised i made it to work the next day!

Though i still can't decided if this was a plan of hers to get me out of the house to a party by getting guys to bribe me or just that i ran into werid men and she took advantage of the situation. rofl

Those dolls scare me with how skimpy they look. what with accenting the cleavage on a doll for one.
I think the scariest thing i've seen with that is when a grandma went looking just for that and had to have the new craze of the Bratz or just die. rolleyes
