Wizard World Texas 2008 is just about here, people, and I already have 3 day pass tickets for me and the little lady! 3 days of geek-ing out, private hotel room adventures, and just time to have fun between the two of us. Did I mention that an artistic hero of mine is going to be present..?

Frank Cho. The man is an inspiration, and I hope to be meeting him there. Of course, as with all adventures, there is apprehension..

"Why?" you ask..? Oh, maybe it's because I have been working on 3 pieces of sequential art, and a cover page, from a script that I hope to be showcasing in my portfolio. You see, last year - when we went to WWT '07 - I was a complete and shamefully utter fan-boy while I was there. I was drool over Marc Silvestri without saying a word to the giant of a man. I stared at the artists booth while they looked at me kind of puzzled. I tried to snatch all the free stuff I could while buy nothing. And, I not once showcased any art, nor had any ready. I hoping to change that this year..

Ah, but life has not made this easy on me. Why would it..? My time seems to be like butter to others, and they're spreading it then. I can't say I'm bitter, or ungrateful, just tired and anxious..

This past Sunday, and great friend of Natalie's had passed away. She was the loving grandmother of Natalie's best friend, and one Natalie had put some time into taking care of. Unfortunately, this death also falls within the same week as said best friends wedding day, and my deepest sympathies go out to them. Organizing a wedding is hard enough (trust me) without the added grief of a lost loved one..

My grandfather was recently admitted into to the hospital, and it's not looking well. The man is a fighter, and I deeply admire him because of this, but unfortunately his body is trying to throw in the towel. With love, I wish him well, or at the least, a quiet passing. Either way, he is in my thoughts..

Have you ever tried to create a strong foundation out of soft soil..? It's not an easy task, nor one that is done quickly, but the final results is something you can be proud of and smile at the house being built on top of it. With this said, I am here for my friend Basil, and keeping in my thoughts of that finished product..

There is always something that develops in the dynamics of life, and it's fun to me to see where it goes, and what you can take and gain in the process. So, "hail!" to change, and welcome to life!

Peace!
