The War on Sugar, Salt and everything Tasty

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s a war going on. A war on sugar, salt and all things tasty.

Today Disney announced that they would no longer allow junk food advertisements on their children’s channels to help fight childhood obesity. This unprecedented move

Buy a Shirt, Win my heart

Over at my Scribbles and Dribbles blog, I’ve been doing a drawing a day for 2 weeks now. In the process, I got motivated to turn a lot of the illustrations into shirts. Head on over to My Spreadshirt Store and buy one or two or maybe even three.

Also don’t forget to LIKE Scribbles and Dribbles on Facebook.

Meanwhile on Facebook…

Recently I made a Facebook status update in order to get rid of useless people.

To all those friends that can’t be bothered to “socialize” or have even the most basic of communications with me on Facebook or in real life, why are you my friend? Why am I yours? I’m not bitching or crying about wanting attention or validation. I’m simply asking for confirmation of some semblance of a obviously forgotten friendship, to make sure I’m not wasting my time or energy. It’s as simple as that. Otherwise I will say bye bye. I’m a realist. I deal in logic. If you can’t be bothered with me, well then I can very easily not be bothered with you. Cutting people from my life without remorse or regret is my super power. Plus if I wanted to be ignored, I’d have my family on this thing.

Inspired by Design

Browsing through Freshly Pressed from WordPress, I found a few really cool illustration blogs that have inspired me to try and get back into design and illustration. Like the blog of Andrew Herzog over at Space Time Continuum. I love the simplicity of his illustrations. It’s in line with my own style. You can see my illustration blog over at Scribbles and Dribbles Check it out. You’ll see that I’m not an asshole all the time.

There’s never a part 2, Part 1.

If you’ve been paying attention, I post a lot of 1 part series. Two, to be exact. It makes no sense at all but it makes me laugh so I’ll continue doing it.

In the meantime, enjoy part 1 of my cat just sitting on the bed doing nothing at all.

The Asshole Chronicles Part 1

Being an asshole hasn’t only been the domain of my adulthood, it was also a huge part of my childhood. I guess you could say I was kind of a prodigy when it came to being a jerk. Nowadays I use my powers for good instead of evil but I often think back on those times and wonder why anybody even wanted to be my friend. One event in particular springs up in my mind time and again. I call it…

The Mother Fucking Dirt Bike Ride.

This one time at drunk camp…

When I was younger I did many, many dumb things. Things like passing out drunk in my car outside my friends house while trying to go on a beer run despite a keg on the porch that was half full and waiting just for me. When I awoke, I called my friend frantically and told her I was lost. I had no idea where I was or how long I had been gone. She asked me what street I was on. I looked around, found a street sign, Thunderbird I think it was, and told her. After what I can only imagine as a monumentous eye roll, she says to me, “your right outside”. Apparently I had never left. I don’t even want to imagine if I did. Nowadays I look back on those times and laugh. Hard to believe I did half that shit. Hard to believe i survived. Hard to believe i didn’t kill or hurt anyone. Shit like…well that’s a story for another time…or another post as it may be.

Biblical Myths, Metaphors and Fairy Stories – Part 1

I am in no part a religious man. In fact, I find religion archaic, silly and only for gullible weak minded types, but I do like a well written article on religion such as this blog post. It presents the interpretation of the bible in four very different ways. It’s rare when one man can see things from 2 different angels, much less four. I can’t wait for Part 2.
