今しかない (ima shika nai - "nothing exists but now")
敵がない (teki ga nai - "i have no enemies")
inspired by eckhart tolle, but of my own making. i don't need to leave angry notes over the kitchen sink directed at whichever person keeps leaving the pot crusted over with spaghetti sauce. it's just not worth getting upset over, and it's not worth making enemies over.
the other night at uncle vanya rehearsal, i took paparazzi pictures of everyone (my prerogative as stage manager). my favorite picture, was of my own shoes:
these are hand-me-down vans my roommate gave me. i like pictures with red in the middle. which reminds me of some pictures i took in japan in 2008:
i need to get back to japan. or at least somewhere green.
two weeks ago i mentioned that i was going to start drawing again. here's this morning's attempt:
this is a copy of an early mega-tokyo strip. a few years ago i printed out some mega-tokyo pages to help my cartooning. the drawing style is fairly simple, but as the series went on it got much more detailed and interesting. feeling out of practice i chose to copy the simpler style.
when i first printed those pages off in 2007, i drew this:
this is from the later, more sophisticated mega-tokyo days. at the time, i drew on a regular basis. with a little practice, i should be able to draw like this again.

Hey Ben,
I just wanted to let you know that I think you're an awesome person. I took the time to read back through a lot of your posts and gotta give you some props. I really respect people that are open and honest especially in an open forum. Not only that, in all the years that we have been playing games together, I can't recall once when you lost your cool, and I think that is pretty commendable too. Keep on being you....
@Jarred - thanks! i'm lucky to have a friend that puts up with me for 8+ hours every tuesday night. :) it makes me happy when people i care about stumble across my blog.
