Okay so it has come to my realization that I get asked a ton of questions that I never get around to answering. It's not because I'm intentionally ignoring anyone, and I hope no one feels that way... Sometimes I skip over things with full intention of coming back and answering later, but obviously I get sidetracked or forget about it and the question goes on unanswered.

In this entry

IF YOU HAVE A
QUESTION FOR ME

that I never responded to, ask it in the comments and I will provide an answer.

This goes for any type of question: products, wonderments about myself/life, or just generally something you may think I know the answer to. Whatever it is that you feel the need to ask, freely ask away.

Quite a while back I planned on doing a video interview, and I even posted an entry here asking for questions and didn't really realize that it would become such a huge project. I actually did start on it and answered about 7 questions but I was never able to complete it due to the amount of time it would require so I suppose this entry can somewhat make up for that in the form of a "text interview" of sorts.

[ UPDATE:

I'm starting to get a lot of double questions now, so please read through the questions already asked to make sure I haven't already received a similar one before asking yours! ]

After a long time of resistance, Atom-love finally let me "photoshoot" him and thus produced one of my favorite photos that I have ever taken.

On Thursday we went on a "date" (we've been together for almost 4 years now and we still have date-nights which usually involve dinner and an activity) which was nice & then did some photos and then proceeded to work on dreads (Steph was present for this as well) until the wee morning hours while watching various movies, one of which was Big Money Hustlas which he actually enjoyed to my surprise. He is generally not too much of a fan of ICP related things - although not necessarily "against" them, the whole juggalo world just isn't his cup of tea. However now he did somewhat agree to possibly attend the premiere of Big Money Rustlas in Detroit with me this upcoming January.

Anyway, enough blabber about Atom... he prefers to remain mysterious so I will leave it at that.

It's really cold outside now, and even when I'm inside I can still feel it. It chills my bones and I feel constantly uncomfortable unless I'm in the shower with hot water and steam surrounding me. It's kind of inconvenient that if I go outside for any reason in order to warm up I have to get in the shower, but oh well... I just need to migrate somewhere else for the winter months. I know just the place. Possibly taking a trip there at the end of the month if situations allow.

I made a list of practically everything I need to get done and it's pretty overwhelming. I kind of lost track on quite a few projects and need to get back into my command and conquer state of mind and this list will help me do that in a linear fashion. Productivity, ahoy!

One of my local personal "real life" friends is now in the process of getting one of the cartoon-Triplesix drawings that I commissioned Kate to design for my hair site tattooed on his arm. He doesn't really want it revealed until it's colored and finished so I'll just leave it at that for now, but wow... pretty awesome! He has the outline done and it looks badass so far. It's kind of huge too, his entire forearm! Madness!

On my list of things to do is completely re-write and redo the graphics on my myspace page as it's been a couple of years now since I did that, and both the graphics and words have been stolen literally hundreds and hundreds of times at this point. I don't know why I find it so annoying that people constantly make bastardized versions of my profile, but for some reason I do. It's really the worst when these people claim that they're so "original" and "unique" and how they hate when people "copy them" on their pages when their entire about me, likes & dislikes, etc (along with graphics) is directly copy and pasted from my profile with like one or two words changed here and there. Um yeah, REAL good job at being *original*... try actually taking the time to write about yourself instead of attempting to adopt someone else's personality. I suppose if you're lame enough to have to clone yourself you probably wouldn't have much to write about though... just sayin'. ;D

I guess it mostly annoys me because it goes against everything I stand for - which is being YOURSELF to the fullest & building your own life around your interests & beliefs - not trying to be exactly like someone you're not just because you think they're cool. Whether that be me or anyone else.

Anywayyyy... there's a lot I could go into on this matter but I've grown quite tired of the subject and try to just let it go usually. It's pointless anyway because 100% of the time people in question here will deny ever doing any such thing I mentioned above and nothing ever changes. So that's that.

In closing I would like to state (even though I'm sure I've said it before) that The Downward Spiral is the best album ever created. Well, in my opinion at least. I'm sure everyone has a "best album ever", but DWS has been my favorite for many years (I had that shit on tape in 1994, before I even owned a CD player - I remember the fat ass package too, it was two tapes) and even though I've listened to it in it's entirety thousands of times, it continually provides me with solace & fuel for my creativity. It never gets old. A true masterpiece that definitely has had great effect on my life. Thank you Trent.

Well I'm finally feeling better - no more cough or general ill feeling for the most part. Still tired and spaced out though, but I think that's mostly due to the fact that I never really see the sun these days considering it gets dark at 4:30 PM and I have the most retarded sleeping schedule. Try as I might, I can never go to bed at a "reasonable" hour, and usually end up finally going to sleep between 8 and 9 AM and waking up around 3:30/4 PM. I'm just a child of the night I suppose, but I cannot live my life in a lethargic haze so I must adjust this - at least until the days start getting longer again.

This past weekend was pretty fun for the most part. I was very productive on Friday with errands & chores and related tasks as such. Saturday evening was the ICP show at Pops. Although it was fun, I will have to say that it ended up being my least favorite show of the tour so far. It was sold out and WAAAAY over packed/crowded and the crowd was intense & wild and pretty much going apeshit. I kept my distance from the pit and stood on the outskirts of the crowd which is a good thing considering the fact that people were getting seriously fucked up in there - knocked down and trampled upon and I even witnessed one girl being carried out by paramedics on a stretcher with what appeared to be a very broken leg. FUCK THAT. Lots of my good people were there and I had fun hanging out with them & I also met a lot of new people and socialized pretty much the entire time. The actual show was good of course, ICP always comes full force and puts on a spectacle of insanity no matter what. Overall I had a good time + it was free for me and Steph as I was guest listed which is always nice. One more show to go (Peoria on the 12th - last show of the tour) and I will have been to 7 shows on this tour alone.

After the concert I came home for a while and then I went out to JJ's bonfire party to hang out with some of my other good people. That was enjoyable as I haven't been out to his mom's house in a long time & it's kind of like a break from civilization.

Sunday I slept way too late and had to get up and immediately quickly get ready and get my ass over to Alton to film some scenes for the movie I mentioned before. My first time acting and I think I did alright. It was fun too. The part is pretty much right up my alley so it doesn't require too much "acting" (besides remembering and spouting off the lines correctly) - kind of wacky & insane so really I guess it's just me playing something that comes naturally to me anyway. We're shooting the rest of my scenes next Saturday. Oh and I also got to meet an awesome 6 toed kitty (on all feet! complete with claws of doom...)

Monday & Tuesday I pretty much just chilled out & spent quality time with my lover-face. Finished up 2 dread orders and got them shipped out. Still 4 more to be done by the end of the week. If anyone reading this is planning to order dreads and wants them BEFORE Christmas, the order deadline for that guarantee is THIS SUNDAY (the 6th). Especially for international orders. We will be working as hard as we can to churn out orders in half the time usually required just to make sure everything is done and shipped so it can arrive in time for present giving or whatever. Orders placed a few days after the 6th will probably also be able to be shipped and received before Christmas... but the earlier, the better so I'm just putting a warning out that after the 6th there is no official guarantee that they will definitely be on time for XMAS. Fringe orders are guaranteed all the way up until the 15th for international & the 18th for within the US.

Anyhow, things are going just fine in my world besides the usual day to day annoyances that are unavoidable. Lots of stuff on my plate, but I'm handling it all pretty well and making progress.

I'll include the pictures I took at ICP on Saturday behind the cut:

NOT a Clydesdale. So any jokes/intended insults about being one make me laugh.

No but really when people ask me "where I get the inspiration to dress the way I do" questions, sometimes I just reply with that first picture and they're like "oh". HAH.

Look, this one even has almost my exact hair.

Okay well I'm just about out of bandwidth on my photo server for the month (and I have A LOT of fucking bandwidth, so reaching the limit is quite the accomplishment), but there's only a couple of days left so hopefully this post doesn't put me over... I did request more, so maybe it will be applied before it reaches the limit and it won't matter anyway.

ive got a golden ticket
