What do I mean?

Reduce: Clear out my clutter. Subtract from my possessions (One Less 365). Dispose/organize of electronic waste such as emails.

Reuse: Use a coffee mug for teas/coffee/small drinks (water). Utilize the tupperware we just received. Put my lunches in a non-disposable bag.

Recycle: Donate items rather than throw them away. Use proven, recyclable materials for items I know I will not keep. Invest in items that actually are built for multiple use.



Get back into Martial Arts (read all 2 entries…)
No longer a thing

Austin is home to only one kind of martial arts studio: greedy.

Since my long stint with a Tae Kwon Do school (and subsequently leaving based on the business ethics there), I have been very mindful of weeding out schools that base their programs purely on the Almighty Dollar. I have yet to visit or test-run a school that didn’t put more stock in making a buck over teaching a martial art.

I’m pretty much done with searching and have no faith in any studio here in this city (or elsewhere, for that matter).

Two Ideas. One Worth Doing Now.

I have come up with a new idea/plot for a serialized comic. It will be best served in the manga style and I look forward to teaming up with an artist to make this happen.

The other, a darker sci-fi story, has been shelved for the moment; however, an artist is definitely in the wings for this title. Honestly, I just need to blow the dust off the piece and flesh out the script and we can get to pencils.
