Just a Smith quote to end the day. Feel free to download or screen shot it. I’m pretty sure the entire image is in public domain.

Well Fed
I am grateful today that I am well fed. I had an everything burger for lunch with an egg roll and fries on the side and a horchata to wash it down. Sometimes I even start to feel like I am not poor anymore. But I know it can all be taken away. I am…

Awesome
What’s your favorite word? “Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” – Lego Movie So life is going pretty well for me. It’s not awesome all the time. But it’s awesome enough of the time that I want to share it. I am also not always awesome but I’m awesome…

I’ve Got To Get Better
I saw some beautiful 3D digital renderings of what Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) might have looked like 500 years ago.

Things that will never be
Describe your ideal week. First of all I take care of my two adult disabled children. A week where EVERYTHING went smoothly for them would be an awesome one all by itself. I’d also like to stay in pajamas and make a decent living on my art. Quality time with my wife is always a…

Not Rolemodels
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. I don’t tend to look up to professional athletes. I’m not a sports person. I used to watch the NFL. Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were incredible athletes, but I don’t know enough about their personal lives to respect them more than I would any…
