Aight so lemme leak a lil status check for eerybody. We have 22 days left in the 1st quarter of two thousand thirteen. Since my last journal entry I've had a HUGE spike in artistic drive and productivity, and then a bit of a drop. Unfortunately I did not reach  my goal of entering my 31 pieces for January in the annual "Fun-a-day" gallery showing. I still haven't posted all 31 works here on DA for mixed reasons and I'm not sure if I will, but I did get a pretty sweet cache of ideas from the challenge of doing a new piece every day for a month. It wasn't a GIANT event or anything so by no means was it a total fail. After all it did provide the fire I needed for the aforementioned spike in productivity. January also marked the beginning of P90X for my wonderful woman and I. Although we have modified the routine a bit when one of us was sick or was just too sore to work a specific muscle group. I'm proud to say that I've kept up a more regular workout schedule for longer than I ever have before. Both of us are starting to see results both in one another and ourselves. It's a weird but fulfilling feeling I must admit. On a similar note I have also been successful in drinking far less than I have in the past. Overall I have to say that despite the occasional setback this year has thus far been better than last. OOH YAAYUUH! Even though my presence on DA has been rather spotty as of late I have to say that I have a renewed interest shall I say in steppin up my game and also in getting to kno others on DA. Which brings me to the ultimate reason for the existence of this very fancy journal entry. To take a moment and extend a GINORMOUS to all the super sweet bad-@$$ Deviant hedz that have supported me through the inspiration of their own work, faves, comments, watches, Llamas, etc. But most recently this new and improved journal skin as well as soon to come page changes are all thanks to the Ill-matikly generous gift of a PREMIUM membership from my newest DA pal! Please give it up for VAS> !!! Who also founded and runs the Graffiti-Showcase > group! I was totally blown away and it was one of those times a random act from a total stranger renews ones faith in mankind just a lil more. You all have my sincere gratitude and should consider thy selves honorary Lady-Mamaz and Gentle-Homiez! Really I appreciate it all...... Okay I'm done.
