Last night, we had our first Drink & Draw night.  Some of us gathered at the local water hole, The ‘Buck, and amidst laughs and weird ass conversation we developed the two topics we had for the night.

Now, before “gettin’ it own” with the topics and what we did, let me elaborate a bit about the dynamics of the night.  The idea behind this is to flex your creative muscle, oftentimes bound by this or that.  It is not a competition at all, more along the lines of a good camaraderie and networking opportunity as well. So, if the topic for the night is, say “The Smurfs”, the idea would be to grab that -deconstruct it- and then work with that. So instead of doodling Papa Smurf or Smurfette or something like that i would do a Short, pot bellied midget… all painted in blue, while wearing white pants.  The main idea is to think outside the box, and push the boundaries of some concepts that are around us on a day to day basis.

This is a Test i am doing to embed videos here… so far so good.

King Diamond -Welcome Home.

Well… aside from taking pre-orders on the Tshirts, i’ve been kinda busy working like crazy at my 8 to 5.

It’s been so crazy that by the time i get home, i do not want to turn on the pc, and if i do its to chat with friends for a while, and then pass out by 10 pm.

Work has been done for the comic, and i will be uploading that in a few, but not this week -as it is my last week of playtime in WoW, and i still got to get at LEAST to lvl 70 by Sunday.  I’m currently at 63.

That aside, i had a very good weekend; saw a great show… spent time with one of the MOST AMAZING person i’ve met in a while (and i’ve known her for quite a few years now ) and did THIS:

Went to my friend Gabo’s house, who -somehow- managed to get 3 Pc Monitors, a printer, a Game cube, an Iron/steamer… plus a Fan, LP Player, VHS, Cordless phone and some beers… and we SMASHED them to little pieces!

We had two hammers, a 12 pounder and a 6 pounder and we just went to town on them… having a blast.

I would not recommend doing this at home, cause there is all that glass, and debris flying around; in our defense, we had those tarpaulins, the hammers, gloves and security goggles.  Still, i ended up with a cut in my finger and a broken lip (Alex bumped me by mistake with his shoulder when i was greeting him); what can i say? I love to pour my sweat, effort and blood -literally- on what i do.

We shot a video… you can see it HERE.  I would love to post it here but i am not really sure how WP is handling them codes and what not, and i am too tired to sit down google it and do it.  I might do it sometime down the road.  In the meantime… enjoy.  The songs used are TOOL’s Intermission and CABEZA de MARTILLO (Hammerhead) Bonus Track.

EXCELSIOR!

Twittard.

That is a term that has been quite present in the last installments of the comic.  It was coined by Niko himself a while ago, in real life, as a smarmy comeback to some idiotic nonsense i might have uttered at some point or another. And it stuck.

Now, some of you might not “get” what Twitter is, or how to use it, or where does it come from.  Sadly, I’m not gonna say much; Twitter is a micro-blogging tool that allows you to send “Tweets” no longer than 140 characters, as opposed to the lengthy diatribes one would usually post on a Blog.  This tool allows you to update your Facebook status -for example- and has found a good acceptance among mobile media and mobile blogging thanks to auxiliary tools like yFrog and Twitpic, to name a few. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
