Etch-A-Sketch

- i injured my left foot running 9 miles, walking around Seattle and playing basketball. so i'm trying to rehab and i stopped running. but it's so hard to live without my saturday morning bball. so i'm thinking about maybe changing my my usual pivot foot from my left to my right

- i'm trying really hard to complete some paintings for a new show that i'm working on. it's tough being an artist while having a day job man. it's hard! but i'm trying man, i'm trying. dang... i'm working on a solution, but i might not see the results until later... much later... in the meantime... i'm exhausted.

- it's getting more difficult to hang out with my buddies. we're all married and trying to be adults. i think we all feel guilty whenever we think about going out and having fun when there are other, more responsible things to do. anyway, i notice some friends trying to reach out and nurture our friendships, so i thank them for that. i'm trying too.

- last weekend, i went to the nike outlet in vacaville and bought two bball shoes: the Zoom Air BBs and the Air Max Force 180s. i'm really excited to use them, but what sux is that my freakin left foot is injured man!!! i can't go full force (not the samantha fox version)!!!
