Sad Day....

I got up today and checked email. I packedged some orders from commissions and online sales and was headed to the post office. I run into the wife and we get 4-5 "dinner" at Big Boy. I draw on the placemat and make her and the waitress laugh. Its an all around typical morning for me. Spending time on the things I love to do, with the people I love.

I get to work and there are cop cars, ambulances and an overturned SUV in the parking lot. Turns out a co-worker was leaving here and her psycho ex drove up and smashed her car so hard that it flipped over. then he got out of the car, and shot her twice with a shotgun. Dead. Not 20 minutes before I arrived here. The douchebag was headed to get thier 3 year old kid at her parents house where she was staying, but luckily was caught by the police before he made it.

I just cannot believe it. That something like this could happen, not 10 feet outside the door to my work. A place where I should feel safe and happy. No one around here is joking, nor do they feel like laughing. I didn't know the girl who died but many who I work with did. A nice lady who was very gracious and courteous to those around her. A mother of a three year old. All cause of some fuckin waste of sperm and egg pyscho ex.

I thank my lucky stars that I have such a loving, passionate relationship with my wife. I could never live with this crap in my own life. I cannot even stand watching it from afar like this. Its just not supposed to happen like this.

Sometimes, I lose faith in the fairness of fate. Sometimes.

So, send some postive thoughts to those around you cause you never know when in an instant, in a flash before your eyes, it could all be over. And all the things you leave behind and never finish will be all you have left. Think about it.

In other news:

This weekend I had a good drawing spert. I am 90% done with my current log of commissions. Burned out on them, I started on the art to Pleasant Life #4. And I must say, its AWESOME! Its all about Ted and Shane at the casino (spoilers!) and really awesome. I was thumbing through my old ashcan issue #6 (the old TED CASINO issue) and that was peanuts compared to this new one! Maybe I'll scan a page and do a side/side comparison. Just to show you that in five years, I HAVE grown!! Interesting I think. Glad I learned something through all of this.

I got a job interview down south for when I move!!!! Lets just say that its a job where I would fit in very well. I'll let you know what happens!

This weekend I am going to shanes and hopefully we'll upload the first two podcasts! Also we're gonna talk about the next album and what we want to do. And we're gonna hopefully sign our new lease.

I'll fill you all in when I get back.

Take care my friends. Seriously. I love you all.
