"Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day..."

~Dalai Lama

Think positive thoughts today; and be safe out there, one and all.

J. Warren Welch Many years ago I had an enlightenment experience Where I understood how connected We all are When the acid wore off I realized that I don't really want To be connected to Most of you Motherfuckers

Current mood in America:

Bourdain quote about dictators and complicity: "Dictators tend to eat really really badly, you know, they insist on it. It’s like the super rich! I mean, where do they go? There’s all these great Italian restaurants in the city but they go to Cipriani, you know, they go to Nello, they pay a hundred and twenty bucks for a bowl of spaghetti pomodoro or whatever they’re paying. Why? Because they want to live in that bubble. The one thing they can be guaranteed there or at Philippe or Mr. Chow or places like that is that they won’t be called out by a normal person who is pointing out the obvious. Your plastic surgery is botched. You know, regardless of what your friends tell you, you’re an evil person, and you’re eating really shitty food, which you’re paying too much for. Those places, they’re insulated from that, you know. You want complicity, everyone at Cipriani is complicit, you know, everyone who goes to Nello or Philippe or Mr. Chow, understands that they are signing on to, uh. The despots’ club."

I had the pleasure of seeing him when he did a speaking tour over 10+ years ago. One of the few "celebrities" that I truly miss now that they are gone. He had such a genuine nature, it was hard not to be captivated by his presence alone.

I'm not sure what I just watched, but I don't think anything is ever going to be the same for me again.

One more:
Tales/Crypt: Demon Knight is a favorite 90s horror gem. William Sadler anchors a larger cast of solid character actors, including T. Hayden Church, and then up-and-coming Jada Pinkett. Billy Zane chews the scenery as the batshit baddie. A great 90s soundtrack too. All around fun, imho.

Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.

"I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE that movie"

Even Kevin Smith calls it his least favorite in the View Askewniverse, but I like the meta nature of the film and even after repeated viewings I find the frequent cameos as charming as ever.

Painted this a while ago, but one of my favorites - I used black alcohol ink to bring out the grimy details. Cleric of Lathander.

Wow!

Lord Helmet from Spaceballs: "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."

Hey, want to know how to defeat evil?

Stop doing dumb shit. That's it. That's the way.

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

More runes, Victorian medical drawings, and an Alchemical symbol, as well as an additional example of my poorly executed calligraphy.

And, the last pages before my note space begins!

Rune lettering with tattered remnants of both the Seal of Solomon, as well as another binding circle fragment.

Every new D&D Campaign I start, I make a notebook. Besides a place to put my notes, it becomes a sort of multi-media collage of the character I'm playing. Each one I've made gets more and more detailed. Here's the newest one for a Half-Elf amnesiac Wizard named SawBones:
