Supra and job

Well, the I guess it was inevitable. All great things take time and money. So I went out on sunday and bought a brand new rebuilt engine head, complete with reground valves, cams, springs, guides, etc. And a head gasket. All totaled, $600. Not a bad price considering what I was getting, but not by any means pocket change. So now I'm broke for god knows how long, I still haven't paid my dad rent this month, and I'm down to about a half tanks worth of gas.

On the job front, I'm up for a promotion. A supervisor position actually, and from all accounts, I should be surprised if I'm not offered it soon. I've been told that rate higher in the opinions of my managers and directors than the other guy, even though he has been with the company for almost 11 years and was a supervisor in the other building before we moved. Sounds cool for me, but I wonder how weird it'll be if he gets passed over and I get it. Oh yeah, and he's like 33.

No girlfriend, but fuck that stuff anyways. Every girl I've ever had has cost me more and more money and hurt me worse and worse. So I make my car my woman. At least if the Supra goes bad, I can fix it. You can't fix a bad girlfriend.

Supra....

Well I got my Toyota Supra dream car, its in my driveway, and fast as all hell. And my buddy Trav just bought a new turbo for his car, so I'll be getting his old 60-1 trim and will be throwin that on in a week or so.

As I've heard,
Life begins at 15 psi.


I'll be hittin that soon. :)

Update stuff

Well as I said in the last post, the website is up and running. Its not getting a whole lot of traffic right now, but I have had at least one possible job come my way because of it.

My inspiration is starting to come back as of late. For a long time, I've had nothing at all. That spot of my mind where I would look at things and suddenly have the inspiration to make art felt like it was gone for a long while, but thank goodness its starting to return. I like to think that I view my art in a more professional way these days, but more often than not its still just me getting emotions out by creating something. As with most areas of my life, I wish it would come more from my own thoughts and feelings, and less from when I see someone else do something cool.

While on one hand I want my creativity to go back to as it was before, where I put stuff down somewhat randomly and just worked it till it looked good, I have to be honest when I say that I want to put more effort into it. There's very few pieces that I've done in the past that I'll say that I'm proud of, and I want to make more of those. Stuff where I can sit back and say "damn, I never did that before" and be content with it.

Well, as with all things, I guess I'll just see how things go.

Website is online.

Wow, this blog sure just sits and does nothing, doesn't it?
Well hopefully that will change. I have my efforts spread over several projects right now, namely, integrating this blog into my website that i just launched. Go check it out at www.kh-creative.com . I'd appreciate any comments or critiques on it, so stick somethin up on here or email me at khoffmann@kh-creative.com

Keep it real, yo.

Great song.

My god loved the whores and babies
My god never noticed a sin
My god grew and killed the daises
My god threw the towel in

My god is weird,
My god is scared,
My god paints a pretty picture...of fear
He's driving in gear.

One day got sick of hailing Mary's
Hailed you, got the door and slid on in
Told me you were good at fortune telling
Said too much, threw the towel in

My god is weird,
My god is scared,
My god paints a pretty picture...of fear
He's driving in gear.

Paid for my ride

Told him we could take the long way
Held on to everything he said
Wanted insight or an answer
Pointed the rear-view at my head

All in all, what does it mean?
All in all, what does it mean?

"Taxicab Messiah" Kidney Thieves

Hell o there.

Well I put 2 new things up on DeviantArt. I'm almost ready to say screw that site all together, for a great many reasons which I don't feel inclined to list in great detail right now. Suffice it to say that DA is not what it used to be, and rather than growing and maturing, it seems it has relapsed back into highschoolersville.

In any case, I'm still alive, I'm here, come and get me.

Erm...

Well, as usual, the artwork that I was working on has fizzled into pretty much nothing. No plans to bring this piece back, not even any inspiration to do more. Yikes, what the hell is the matter with me? I'm supposed to be an artist. I'm supposed to love being creative and, well, creating things. Just can't bring myself to do it lately though.

Hey.

Being sick sucks. I ache all over, for God's sake my hair follicles even hurt. I guess I should have seen it coming lately. I haven't exactly been taking the best care of myself.

Someone beautiful: Come here and make me some chicken soup. ;)
