So I thought I would treat you all to my top 3 list of favorite music videos. In no particular order…
Slipknot – Wait and Bleed (Animated)
I love the dark, gritty stop motion animation. It also tells a good story about the refusal of the band to be seen as  ”puppets”.
Korn – Freak on a Leash
This [...]

Some of you know if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook that I have recently redesigned my personal logo. I used my signature for years as my logo but I didn’t feel like it represented me well as a whole.

I am a graphic designer. I have observed a few things in the past weeks and it really [...]

Let’s set the record straight. I’m fat. I had a stroke. I couldn’t walk normally or comfortably for a few months. Hell, I still nearly trip on air sometimes. Not once, have I ever used one of those electric wheel chairs that they have at the store for disabled people.
