Well I guess I deserve that. I fell off the face of the earth for a while. I have been busy with life. Been working full time as well as doing double-full Time College at 2 schools. I got my associates degree in 6 months time (a two year degree mind you) and working on my Bachelors. That will be done in less than a year. I am now Microsoft Certified, Network+ certified and Security+ certified.

So needless to say… I have been busy! So what is everyone else up to? I hope all is good with my DeviantART friends. I hope the upcoming Holidays receive you well!

Linda and I are doing well. We get along pretty good. We have our few and rare moments, but what couple doesn’t? All in all it is going really well! Well I hope it is not next year when I do another one of these. Drop me a line, I am curious to see how everyone is doing!


Linda's book is now available at places like "Barnes and Noble" [link] and "Borders" , [link] so check it out. And if you cannot buy online, go to your local store and request through them. I am sure they can do that for you.


An artist had been working on a nude portrait for a long time. Every day, he was up early and worked late - bringing perfection with every stroke of his paint brush. As each day passed, he gained a better understanding of the female body and was able to really make his paintings shine.
After a month, the artist had become very weary from this non-stop effort and decided to take it easy for the day. Since his model had already shown up, he suggested they merely have a glass of wine and talk - since normally he preferred to do his painting in silence.
They talked for a few hours, getting to know each other better. Then as they were sipping their claret, the artist heard a car arriving outside. He jumped up and said, "Oh no! It's my wife! Quick, take off your clothes!"

Here are some friends I admire and have supported me for some time now and give me plenty of feedback on my work. I can count on them time and time again to point me in right direction. You should check them out. Also if you were not mentioned, let me know. To error is human. These are in no particular order.
