Check out Vitalic Clothing!

Vitalic Clothing is a unique t-shirt design business started by my friend Dan, one of the best graphic designers I know.

His designs are truly original and hip! View the design gallery here.

Vitalic Clothing was created due to the lack of creativity, experimentation and individuality that can be found in a high school t-shirt. So putting our minds together we have formed Vitalic Clothing. Our first Collection of design ideas and elements can be viewed on or facebook page, but for the latest designs and the full skinny on what we can do to make your t-shirt project a success go to our website at www.vitalicclothing.com.

Our designs seek to reinvision what a T-shirt can be. All our designs are ready to be customized and reconstructed to your specific need on request: color choices, graphic accents, foil embellishment…. no problem. All our shirts are printed with soft hand inks on the highest quality fabric. Our designs are great for clubs, senior classes, and sport teams who are wanting something original and different.

Lost things.

I used to have a stack of journals and notebooks filled with my writing — diary entries, short stories, poems, journalism class assignments … dating as far back as 1992 and maybe even earlier.

I deleted my first blog. I saved all of the entries in a zip file on my ex’s computer. After the break-up, when I asked him to e-mail the file to me I got ignored, big time … a stab at me which actually really hurt. Two years worth of memories I’ll never be able to read again.

I went so far as to beg and plead for it back. No answer.

I wish I still had it all. I would like to go back and see what I was doing and thinking and caring about on any given day.

All I can do is protect what I write from now on.

All I can do is start over.

Turbocharged is what I need!

My car is in the shop again. Transmission problems, bad wheel bearing, ugh. Hate it.

I've been looking around on the internet for cars that might be an option for me if I can ever sell the one I have. I've been seeing the term "factory turbocharged" quite often. I wondered what all the buzz was about. I read about Audi turbo first, and became more interested in how to turbocharge my own car.

I like a fast car, especially since I'll be traveling through mountains more often once we make our big move down south. And if you are looking for a faster ride, then turbocharging is what you need.

I visited Turbochargerpros.com and from what I see, they offer quite a range of accessories you would need to turbocharge your vehicle. Here's how it works: air is forced into your vehicle's system with a turbocharger or supercharger, which in turn improves torque and horsepower. It is important that it works correctly, and this site can help make that happen. They also offer an extensive inventory and full warranty on their products.

The site is easy to use and you can contact them by calling 800-923-0413.

Visit Turbochargerpros.com today for all of your turbocharging needs.

Starting it up again ...

I haven't written here in a really long time!

I haven't forgotten about this blog, I just stopped doing my PayPerPost thing and now I want to start that up again too.

What's new here? I doubt that anyone still reads. But just in case you do, the past while for me has included getting married, graduating from college, and now my husband and I are getting ready to move south! Lots of exciting changes.

So, if you are still around, cool! or if you want to read my other blog which I update more often and will not contain PayPerPosts ... go here.

I've heard it all now.

Druggie nasty woman who asked to use the phone: (says to whoever she called) What are you doing tonight? Yeah? Well if you feel like meeting up later I have two for the price of one. Yep, yeah. Her's is just as good and clean as mine. Yep. We can do whatever you want. Yeah, uh huh, we can do that .. mmmmm, yeah we can do that too. Whatever you want. So you have about an hour?

I am impressed with this site, and it will definitely be one that I visit when I am in the market for this type of furniture.

Fish out of water

Here are some rudimentary sketches for the first project in my illustration class: drawing a cliché.

I’ve been really busy with work and school already and it’s only the second week. I love my painting class, but I’m not sure yet about the others (Flash, digital illustration, senior studio.) I’ll tell you more later. In my digital illustration class we are tracing Grandpa Simpson’s head for a warm-up project, then we will trace Uncle Scrooge. For my senior studio project, I’m probably going to be designing a cookbook of family recipes. In my painting class, I am working on something in the style of Yoshitomo Nara, who I just recently discovered.

Still haven’t uploaded the vay-kay pics .. sorry .. no time!

I’ll show you my finished fish when it’s .. finished. K Thx Bye =D

Heard of Hubsess?

Hubsess.com is a new discussion/news site. The site is a collection of Hubs - a place where you can post discussions, search news, pictures, and other websites.

There currently are over 50,000 Hubs. Hubs that are currently on the site include cities/towns, sports teams, actors, musicians, politicians, technology products, and much more. Users have the ability to vote on news stories and discuss them, and there is also a tutorial section and FAQ section to get you started!

A Hub's news section is links to news articles, videos, blogs, or anything else that can be linked to. These are then tagged to a Hub. For example, the Google hub will only have news pertaining to Google.

News is gathered in one of the 2 ways. Users can submit individual stories and tag them to a hub(s). Or, users can tag an RSS feed from another site to a Hub, and the news from that feed will automatically be added to the Hub's news.

What makes this site different from other similar sites is it allows you to get the news you want and gives you the ability to skip the news you don't want.

Anyone is welcome to sign up - I joined, and my favorite hubs were SEO news and baseball news.

Go check them out now .. join and start submitting to Hubsess - Your News!

This is my first piece for my Painting 2 class that I will show tomorrow for critique. I had a lot of direction from the instructor and I’m happy with how it turned out. When I started out, I was just going to have the figure against the background but my instructor suggested decoupage, which I enjoy and it gives the painting something much more interesting. The used Band-aid was one we found in the classroom that belonged to a student (why she didn’t put it in the trash, I don’t know) .. anyway, it works well I think.

I’m calling this a self portrait for the time being.

I could really use one of these!

If you are like me, you are in constant need of storage space for things. Right now I'm struggling with my art supplies and keeping them all where they are together and not going to get damaged or messed up in some way. My spare bedroom's closet seems to be the best place for it now, but these types of storage bins would be much better!

GuyCarGarage.com has an awesome selection of storage bins. My favorite is the 16 Mixed Storage Bins with Shelving because the bins range from shallow to deep and are you could color code them. It would be great for housing my pens, pencils, and painting supplies.

If you are in the market for storage bins then you have to go check out GuyCarGarage.com at the above link.

Tree

Just having some fun with my scanner and Photoshop. This is a small sized painting I worked on in my first painting class. I might submit it for an upcoming version of my school's art zine called the Silhouette. The colors are far from how my original painting looks .. but I like it just the same. Maybe even better. =)

Freeze It: Reviewed

A few days ago I unfortunately experienced the pain of pulling a muscle from lifting something at work. So I was surprised to see, that just at the right time, a sample of Freeze It advanced therapy pain relief gel arrived in the mail for me to try. Pictured is me ... using the product for the first time.

Freeze It worked quite well for me. I liked how it is in gel form and dissolves quickly, and also the menthol scent isn't very strong and then disappears completely. The green gel is greaseless and didn't stain my clothing at all .. and the 'burn' it provides gives instant pain relief. I put a small bit on nearly half an hour ago and it's still going strong.

I would recommend Freeze It to anyone who uses such products for pain relief. It is offered for $9.99 and comes in two sizes and applications, either a 3 oz. roll-on or a 4 oz. tube. The roll-on is quick and easy to apply and would be good for on the go and also handy for reaching difficult areas like shoulders or the lower back. The tube kind would be good for applying desired thickness.

So I would say to anyone thinking about trying Freeze It, give up your usual brand for a while and just give it a try.l I was pleasantly surprised and think it works much better than any others I've tried in the past.

Check out the Freeze It commercial for more info.

Fish Finished.

I realized that my illustration could be more than one cliché .. it could be “fish out of water” .. or “I’ve got bigger fish to fry” .. or “fishing for compliments” .. I guess it could stand for lots of things. Anyway, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out =D I did turn up the contrast and sharpen it some in Photoshop so you could see it more detailed .. so, it’s not really blue … but I kinda like it that way too.

We're back.

But we're only back against our will .. we didn't want to leave. There's so much to do there, and it's so much fun, and the beach is so nice, the people are friendly, the weather is great .. I could go on and on.

I'm working on putting our vacation pics on Flickr but it's gonna take a while.

For now, here's a cool one I took just outside the House of Blues, which was excellent by the way!

StarCraft

I haven't had time to play games with my busy schedule, too bad because I happen to be a starcraft player (well I used to be anyway). It's just a cool game, especially in multiplayer. I've heard some disappointing stuff about the new single player setup on the new StarCraft 2 though. I've read all about it on this site that's entirely dedicated to StarCraft and the upcoming game StarCraft 2. The site is called CreepColony.com. If you happen to be interested in StarCraft (or StarCraft 2) you should check it out, they have news and video's and just all the latest stuff you need to know as a fan. Hopefully they'll hurry with the StarCraft 2 release!

Just say no to free radicals!

and drink a little Naked.

I’ve been feeling kinda crappy for about a few days now and wanted something healthy to drink so I picked this stuff up (only because it was on sale .. a 15.2 FL OZ bottle is like $3.09 and I think that’s insane.)

Anyhoo .. it’s good stuff .. a whole pound of fruit in a bottle .. this one contained 2 pomegranates, 8 blueberries, 1/2 of an apple, and a few white and red grapes for good measure.

Pretty good stuff, just pricey. I guess for the amount of fruit you get in it, it’s not terrible .. all of that seperately would be much more expensive.
