Stop Trying, Just Do



So, I got lost in my own self pity and in a job hunt to fix what’s broken. That is how I think of my job search, a fix to something broken. This is amusing to me because I would argue it’s something much more than that.

Anyway, that’s not really what I wanted to talk about via blog; I want to tell you what shenanigans I’m up to now. After, my wading around in some unpleasant emotions I’ve started to climb my way out. I am only up to 13 minutes straight running, in my training for a half marathon. Every time I run I’m pushing it a minute longer, and building it up that way.

I’ve also begun doodling once again, properly doodling, not my crazy job treasure map as can be found on this site. As of late though I’ve noticed I like to push myself just a little bit further. So I looked up art contests, and found one I’m interested in. I’m hesitant to say too much more at the moment until I find out more, but submitted an application. So, as soon I know more I’ll share all the details and rules.

In the mean time I’ve been practicing drawing, and I’m terrible. Okay, not terrible but there was a time I was better than I am now. My perspectives are sketchy at best, my shading looks like scribbling, and my oil pastels stray outside the lines. Simply, I’m trying to rebuild what little technique I ever had, but I feel like I need help.

Know anything about oil pastels?
