Sliding into Work

     Heynow. I'm at work today. The roads are still icy and snowy. It took me about thirty minutes to clean off my truck from the ice and snow. My door was frozen shut and my ice scraper was in my truck. I sprung into action and found a putty knife to scrap off the ice to open the door. I was successful! Opened my door and started the truck and put the heat on full blast. As I scrapped away the ice I was worrying that I was waking up my neighbors. When I was finished I put back the putty knife and started to drive out of the apartment complex. When coming to the stop sign at the end of McVey Road, I slowly stopped and could not stop! I looked both ways to make sure I wasn't going to hit someone. Thank goodness no one was there, I had to make a 60 degree left turn and was sliding uncontrollably for a few seconds. Another thank goodness that I have some driving skills. After sliding for about fifteen seconds, I leveled out and was driving fine to the stop sign going onto 25E North. The main roads are fine. The road getting into work is not so fine. It was untouched so about two inches of snow was in the alley. Yesterday my plan was to go grocery shopping (I didn't do it) so today after work I'll go shopping. I'm running low on supplies.
     Late night the Paul McCartney concert was on at 8:15PM and before that I cleaned my kitchen. I cleaned out my fridge, cleaned out my dish washer, cleaned other dishes, cleaned counters, cleaned the oven, and hung some kitchen pictures that I didn't know I had. It looks really nice. While listening to the concert, Paul played "Dance Tonight" on a mandolin. I picked up my ukulele and started paying by ear. By the end of the song I knew the chords and timing in the song. Later that night I downloaded the album which the song was originally from. Remembering the year it came out (2007 Memory Almost Full), listening to some of the songs played on Sirius. I previously downloaded a few songs and burned them to disc but then had to erase my library of music. Anyway, listening to the concert was awesome and I learned a new song on ukulele! Other than that stuff I'm all out of boring stories. My life is exciting, later.

Beatlemania and Paintings

     Hello world. Today should be interesting. Dave, his friend, and I are going to Beatlemania in Hazard, KY. Entry is $15 at 7:00PM and it should be really fun. It's great because I don't really go out that much and it'll be my second "mainstream" concert ever. I've been to plenty of concerts like my brothers bands years ago and my own concerts when someone would bring me out to do a song or two and I've played at parties too. One of my favorite gigs was when I did the lights for my brothers band, Wisdom. That night the opening band was either named Black Cherry or Buck Cherry. I can't remember the name but they later got a big hit song. I didn't really give them that good of a light show :). I felt like a true roadie that night. I was bringing in equipment, hanging out with my brothers and the other guys of the band and it was a very fun time. My first "mainstream" was a Foo Fighters concert in Charlotte, NC back in Oct. 5th 2007. Anyway, I might be bringing my Flip camera to the event and I'll post it here and YouTube. 

     Here are two new Black & White paintings that was completed yesterday. I have the other three canvases sketched out already. This first one is "Dwight Schrute" from the NBC show "The Office".

Sold at the Daniel Boone Festival (Arts & Crafts)

This next one is "Darth Vader" from the movies "Star Wars".

For Sale!

     They're very simple paintings and they were fun to do. Both paintings and the other three future paintings are for sale. I also posted these pictures on Facebook.
