coffee, how I’ve missed your tastiness when mixed with cream and sugar!

It is good to have you back.

Lent is over! wheee!

wow. Over a year and I’ve been at the blog. Now, I do believe, this is the exact time point that I decided to close down Froyd’s House of Games two years ago.

Do I plan to close down this blog? Hells no.

Now, you may wonder what other art I’m involved in…and the answer is pretty much nothing. What!!?!? I can hear many of you ask. 1000 posts of writing, and you’re not at all artistic in other areas?? It’s true.

All of my artistic ability in painting and sculpture was taken up in middle school when I created the dragon sculpture.

All of my artistic ability in drawing was taken up before there were any written records for me to embarrass myself with. Although, I’m sure there exists some images somewhere, they are of the quality that no one could possibly A.) Attribute them to me, and B.) Tell they were art.

As for video production and making? Well, do I have a feast for you loyal blog readers! In the original format of RealMedia I have two such objects for your downloadable enjoyment….
Julius Caesar..around one minute and thirty seconds.
Marquis De Sade..around eight minutes.

The first was produced via lego technology by myself around 4 years ago, and the second was produced by the Honors Group of People that consisted of Jesse Whiting, Shane Wahl, Shannon Murray, Andrew Green, Eric Kuha and myself. Oh, and lil’ Richard was in there as well.

Now you know why I don’t do videos anymore…though there is one video “Episode 28: Or what we think for once” that was made by a group of friends and myself that bears seeing…as soon as KDFR gives me the video back so I can put it up on the web. That one, while adhering to my high production values, has a sort of coherent plot and much better music than the two above.

All right, some of you say, now we know about your other artistic ventures…what goes on in your mind when you write? Well…that’s a good question. And you all really deserve an answer. I don’t really think when I write, I more think out loud. And when I’m writing for the blog(and really, any other time) it sounds something like this:
Froyd writing

You may want to save that to your desktop to better listen to it over and over again when you need some inspiration.

and that about wraps up my 1000th post…but before I go, here’s the image I promised before:
