What the hell have I been doing?

Life is distracting. Hours turn to days, days into weeks, weeks into months. We have all heard this before. I look back at this blog and wonder what the hell has happened over the course of 6 months. Well, I worked on the Are We Dead Yet? web comic for several issues. However, this project took a couple months hiatus do to the holidays, my 9-5  job, and trying to sync up schedules with my co-creator. It looks like the comic is starting to come back… slowly but surely.  In addition, there have been several freelance requests regarding custom built websites, photography, and graphic design that took up several weekends. And of course we cannot forget the powerful influence of alcohol whether it’s at home alone or at a bar with friends. After saying this, it just seems like I’m making up excuses. Yes, some vindications are legit but comes off as weak to me. I’m currently in search for  motivators which will reorient my brain, crack my knuckles, and put fire in the belly.

I found some old work of mind the other night. After viewing all the images I couldn’t help to remember my state of mind I was in while creating. I don’t know where I’m going with this so I’ll just post them:

Brian and Brian: Two old friends who I don’t see or talk to anymore.

I guess after going in circles throughout this post the bottom line is I need to make more time for myself. We cannot ignore all the obstacles that are all around us. Sometimes we need to take an hour break or a night off and do what makes you happy. My problem is I don’t know what that is yet but at least I will make the time to expand the brain rather than deteriorate it. Maybe I’m just a natural procrastinator or pretending that something is there which it isn’t. I probably won’t ever read this post again because it will eventually lead me to go on another long absence once again. Let’s end this with something positive. I have a great beard now growing for 6 weeks straight.
