UPDATE: On July 31st, 4:30pm, a reckless driver ran a red light at the intersection of Red Hill & Kalmus in Costa Mesa,CA. He plowed into my driver side door at over 50 miles an hour while I was making a left hand turn on a green light. He was in a huge 1996 GMC suburban, I was in a 2000 VW Passat wagon, which is totaled beyond repair. Amazingly I walked away from the scene, but am now riddled with muscle spasms, neck and back problems, migraines, short term memory loss and mental confusion. I am without a car and cannot paint, nor do I have the ability or strength to drive or generate an income with my art. My attorney is already on it with his insurance company. I pray that this is only temporary and will pass soon so I can return to what I do best. :)

Besides painting, I enjoy south american coffee, discovering other cultures, chasing girls, museum visits, the great outdoors, long distance road trips, squirrels & people watching.

Lol, alright. I'm probably most available next Thursday or Friday cause I have classes throught the week up until then. Now I must scrounge my brain for intelligent questions to ask you. Or maybe not so intelligent. I dunno.
Hey, I have to interview a working artist that I know for a class paper, and you were the first person I thought of. Do you think you'd be interested? It's a good excuse to come visit you since it's been like, over a year since I saw you last.

Okay, you're right, I'm sorry for calling you names. And I forgive you for teasing me about coming out here and then not doing anything about it... it might have hurt my feelings but some how you've managed to stay on my good side. What's your secret?
Ugh, I know how you feel! Every chance I get when the sun is out, I lay out and get a little tan lol... then it rains and my blanket becomes my best friend... I can't believe I'm leaving for Seattle this Friday! I'm so not ready to get on that plain... its so COLD! What do you have planned for the weekend?
