Discipline and Depression

I’m slowly training myself to do the things I ought to be doing on my spare time. Like make posts on my site (like this!), and getting off my butt and drawing (like I’m not currently doing).

Due to my ongoing struggle with reality, I’ve been worn out after work on a pretty consistent basis. Be it physically drained from the actual labour, respiratorally (is that a word?) challenged by some anomalous substance in my lungs, or just plain depressed from being at work in the first place (long story), I’m not exactly peppy at the end of the day… But I do dream of this little pocket of webspace and how I can make it better.

And so I’ve been getting more and more on top of myself to do something about this (thus far) appalling display on my part. I have a few ideas that I’m hashing out, and the basics are mostly in place. Just need to put some more work in.

More work, and I can start expanding this little bubble of happiness outward. Who knows, it may even reach me in the real world!

Wouldn’t that be a thing to see?

…I hope the bubble’s filled with candy…

ACK!!

I can’t believe how quickly I can fall out of touch. I’d say I’m sorry, but there has to be some sort of epiphany (aside from “Hey look! I keep screwing up!”) to help keep me from doing this, so that I can back my apology up.

I do keep thinking of you, my online friends, and want to give you something special. I just need to point my OCD in a constructive direction.

As any good businessman will advise: location, location, location… I’d best relocate my brain somewhere useful, as space isn’t a good place for it.

He he he.

Reentry’s going to be a bitch…

Still Not Much of an Artist

A bit behind the eight ball today, as projects that I really need to finish are perilously near due.

That said, I need to put the site and artwork on hiatus for a little bit (like anyone’s surprised).

Just keeping everyone I can up-to-speed.

I do have stuff I’m partway through producing, artwise, so please feel free to keep visiting, as I plan to have artwork old and new up as fast as I can.

Have fun!

You Know!

You know.

You know what it feels like when you wake up, but you’re not ready to start the day. So you hit snooze three or four times until it’s that time where, if you don’t get up and rush out the door, you’ll be late for work. And you do, but work drags and you just can’t quite get into the groove of things - the one person in the marching band out of step with the rest.

You know.

Stretch that over a period of time (say, 20 years) and you have a long-term mild depression. Or at least a metaphor of depression that’s relatable. And it’s this relation that I hope to convey so that you know…

You. Know.

…how difficult I find it to keep this site updated.

Y’know?

So, though I am lacking in the energies necessary to maintain this site regularly, I do have the desire to. For although I have few fans, every one of you is important to me. In fact, give yourself a hug right now if you’re reading this. If you were shameless enough to actually do that, then you’re good enough to get a hug from me personally. So feel free to imagine really hard.

Just thinking of the hugs is making me feel better!

Anyhoo - I do have to go and make some progress.  Every little bit helps.

And thank you for helping me feel better. You are truly great fans.

“And so it came to pass that on the sixth day, Binky gazed upon his creation. And He saw His creation, that it was not good, and said:

“‘Cursed be this web page, for I have misunderstood the tutorials, and the instructions and the cascading of styles.’

“And it was so.

“‘Let there be imagery most pleasing to Me. Let there be musings, and contents, and backgrounds, and headers and footers.’

“‘Let there be organization so thorough that a blind three-year-old with a brain injury could navigate through its wonders.’

“‘Let there be a bit less Pink, the Holy Colour, that it may not frighten away the macho, the burly, the haters of girly things, that they mightst still enjoy the content of the Site.’

‘Let there be some Pink, for it is a most Holy Colour, and will keep the macho, the burly, the haters of girly things a little on edge.’

“And the Bink saw the work that lay before him, that it was a Daunting Task.

“And the Bink said, ‘Let Us get this done.’”

What the… ?

That, my friends, is the quote of the day.

Every time I make an adjustment to this site and preview the changes I’ve made, I repeat “What the… ?” With the odd angry expletive thrown in for colour, of course. I have to keep whomever’s listening on their toes…

“What the flaming monkey fart?”

“What the camel’s armpit?”

“What the strawberry lip balm?”

Feel free to use any of the above at work or at home. Just think of how much fear you can strike into the hearts of friend and foe alike, using such powerful statements!

And now that I’ve shared my grief, it’s back to the battle with Starbow V13…

Fun With Nintendo (DS)

In order to develop Cool Herders, Tursi spotted me a homebrew cart for my DS. It wasn’t long before I discovered this marvellous little program:

Colors DS by Collectingsmiles.

Brilliant! The DS just screamed for something like this to be written for it, and Collectingsmiles delivered! I don’t have the time necessary to rant any more about the program, so I’ll let the video do the talking…

Now that I have my first sketch up, I’d better start working some more on the site.
Thanks for sticking around!

Really, I am!

I’ve got the theme to hash out for the site, so Starbow.com isn’t so bland. I’ve got video to upload (yes, VIDEO!) via the Colors! program I have on my DS, so you can watch me doodle. And, of course, I have all that artwork I had already posted onto the site before.

So please sit tight, and I’ll do my best!

Good day my pretties!

The word of the day is “WordPress”, and I’m hoping it will help keep me from spending all my available time trying to create a brand-spanking-new Starbow from scratch.

That said, I apologize for the temporarily unavailability of my artwork. I’m busying myself on that as well.

So, I’ll keep this post short to give me more time to get my work back up.

PS - I’ll try to do it right this time, so that I don’t get frustrated and want to nuke and pave the site in the future.
