SO…
No you haven’t, the only people who read this, know where I’ve been. Jeez.
Either way, if you must know. In the past several weeks, my life has changed more dramatically then ever before. First off, my engagement to Angela is canceled. Matter of fact, the whole relationship was canceled. The good part is, we both agreed it was what’s best. Angela and I have been together for 11 solid, good years. We’ve been the Cheech and Chong version of Bonnie and Clyde. The thing is, during that time that we were together, neither of us really had a chance to grow. Angela and I became dependent on each other for every single aspect of our lives. We weren’t Angela Rose, and Richard Hutchings, we were Dick and Angela, and I’m sure if we became Dick and Angela after high school, and college, that we would have probably already been married for a few years now. But…the gods saw it otherwise, and decided to have our fate cross paths at an early age.
I have no regrets, like I’ve told everyone I’ve spoken to, that was the greatest 11 years of my life. I couldn’t and wouldn’t trade it in for anything. Angela is now going back to school, and finally developing a personality, outside of our relationship. I can’t ask for anything more because I know that this is what she needs in her life, as long as she’s happy, I could give a rats ass about anything else.
Another hilight was my completion of 6 t-shirt designs sent to Panic At The Disco. I had 2 days to complete it, and I did…convincingly. Personally I like the range of styles I used, and tried to keep them completely different than what they were already selling on their site. So, my fingers are crossed, hopefully I hear from them with some final decisions soon. Darren (theuprisingintl.com) just got back from a big convention, and told me that he has some more stuff lined up for me, soon, which I really like to hear.
I bought a couple of domains! Independentpeasant.com and Rudeinhistory.com. Rude in history is the site I’m currently working on. It’s a site dedicated to a little goof I do on the side. I take pictures of Rick Rude…well…one picture, and superimpose him into different historical moments. Like Washington crossing the delaware, MLK Jr. giving a speech in DC…Rude with the Pope, Lincoln, at the Reagan attempted assasination, in movies…..you get the idea. I also am in the process of printing a Rude Boy T-shirt. The picture on it is priceless, but I’ll be selling them for $20 a piece. Please reply to this if you’d like one. Trust me, it’s a good tshirt. Independentpeasant.com is going to primarily be my portfolio/blog website. See this place puts up those incredibly awesome “monthly limit exceeded” pictures, pretty much after I post a blog with more than 30 words. So I needed my own site. Plus I mean, I have artwork, radio programs, and other stuff I’ll be working on. Might as well keep the masses updated right?
Oh…my diet…right…
I’m under 300lbs as of this morning. A slim, trim, 297…that’s how I roll bitches. I’m still on my walks/jogs, and I’m beginning a more rigorous workout routine tonight, including “working on my core”. They got this giant ball thing that you lay on and balance yourself while you lift weights/watch tv, all sorts of crazy shit. Who knows if this’ll work, but I figure…it can’t hurt…I mean the chick on the boss has killer abs, so she’s gotta be doing something right.
This year has turned out to be the most confusing, difficult, emotionally stressful, tiring, year of my life. And I still have like 4 more months. Meh, who knows what’s gonna happen? Not me that’s for sure. But I’ll keep you updated!
