Everyones so whiney lately! 'Im so tired' 'lifes hard' 'cry cry'. ..suck it up. I'm all the things too, but i try not to let it ruin every single day of my life. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Dont sit around complaining all the time, you're becoming a drag and no one will have any sympathy for you if you don't make any efforts to improve your own situation. Takes some vitamins, slug a red bull and move on.
If its soooo bad that it's interfering with your life, go get medical help! No one can do it for you and theres only so many pep talks a person can give before giving up.

Help us get to Calgary Expo
We are taking a big leap in our Comic Convention adventures. This time we're diving into Calgary Expo. We've heard great things from other people who've attended the Expo, and we're really excited to take our comics there! By the time the expo is here we should have ghost tales and maybe even Hello Albertosaurus at least available for Pre-order! Excite!
Now there is a small issue of funding. It costs a lot to travel these days. especially by plane and with lots of Luggage. To sell for 3 days, thats a Lot of merchandise. We need 2 plane tickets, hotels, and other costs. We live rather simple lives so we don't need much. Please take a look at our campaign below:
It would be really amazing if you could help us by donating some money, or even just promoting it for us! If you have Twitter, facebook, google+, Tumblr, blogs, or websites or anything (your dA journal for example)! if you could just promote our cause, and get the word out we'd be forever in your debt!
We have a campaign goal we're trying to meet.

Business Plans
You know, I'm fed up with working for people who don't appreciate my dedication and work. I'm always throwing myself into my jobs, dedicating so much passion and energy into supporting that company and my work to be completely under appreciated and never get anything from these jobs. No more! I'm going to shift that energy into my own work.
In Vancouver, Business licences expire every year on Dec 31. My goal is to be ready to get a business license, and purchase it on Jan 1 2012.
So our plans right now, are to work hard, get Hello, Albertosaurus, Daqueran, and BATP completed and out to the world so we can have stuff to sell. We'll make a couple art books as well, and some other misc merchandise... Attend lots of cons.
I'm going to come up with a business plan so we have an outline of our goals. I'm going to run online classes and workshops to save up money to have a financial cushion as well as "business" money set aside to purchase products and stuff. We wont really have must start up cost or expense really, beyond living expenses. Most everything we do can be print on demand sort of things, or order online via places like IndyPlanet.
I expect that the first 6 months or so of official business life wont be profitable, but ideally I'd like to go down to part time at Opus in Mid 2012, and wean off of the safety job all together within a couple years.
The Classes I run I think are crucial to the saving. We simply don't make enough money to really save too much right now, But the classes go into my Paypal account so then it sits there and it takes forever to transfer out, so we don't bother to, LOL. Then the money is there to use to order product. LOL.
I've been looking for some information on Taxes etc as well and so far it seems like we'll not have to worry about that right away.
Anyway, Wish us good Luck. We'll Put Gurukitty Studios on the map :D

BLORG
Well, despite one "complaint" (first I've ever gotten on any of the classes I've EVER taught) I think my class is going well. I think the complaint was more a lack of reading comprehension than a real complaint though. Whatever, I've gotten more positive feedback than bad. I'm often skeptical of people who say they're teachers taking a class like mine. I feel like they're going to just take my information and reuse it in their class; a risk I have to take I suppose.
I've posted a couple images I coloured on Live stream today. Check out this post on my other blog!
Starting on the 20th I have a week and a half off. I'm so excited. I'm pretty desperate for some time away from work. Just desperate. I need to be away from the same people, feeling unappreciated and stressed constantly because my time is always the first thing pillaged.
Away.
I need to NOT think about the store for a while.
So Donut is putting an order on Dick Blick so I'm FINALLY going to get some grey Multiliners because Donut lets me throw them on her order! Cool No?! COOL YES!
I'm Very excite! I need it, bad.

busy month
I've got one BUSY month going on!
My Copic Class starts tomorrow! There is still time to register! I'm a little nervous, but then again... I'm not. I've had such a good response to my blog, and my many tutorials out there I'm sure I can make it worthwhile for the students.
I am also teaching a second class through my work. I'm going to be teaching Acrylic Gel transfers In North Vancouver. If you're a card maker this is a really neat and unique way to add some dimension and texture to a card! Check out the information on the class here.
After these classes are all done, I'm going to try to get my natural life rhythm back! If my work schedule can be more consistent that would be much easier but I wont hold my breath on that one, or I'll turn blue and die.
I'm going to go back to working on my Comics consistently, and occasionally throwing out a free bee to you guys, though they won't be with the regularity they were in the past.
I'm going to go rummage for some food, and play my Wii (COMPLETELY addicted to the Michael Jackson game!) a little bit before diving into the colouring and making some more examples for my class!

so far in 2011....
.... I've done nothing.
I've been playing Michael Jackson: The Experience every spare moment I can. I'm so addicted to the game, I'm just glad it's a lot of physical activity I'm addicted to for once. It's great. small cramped apartment makes it frustrating though.
I got a burn on my thumb that didn't hurt so much when it happened, but once it started to heal up and turn into a scab, and then i caught it on my finger nail now it's exposed burn again :s
I've had the same cold for over a week now. My throat is sore constantly and the coughing is getting really old.
wish it would go away.
blorg!
I got my Zune hd in the mail! its awesome! awesome! I'm so happy with it! wish I had a real zune case for it though. the one I got is made for an ipod and its not a perfect fit.
anyway, gotta sleeeeep
