When Today and Hey Kids How We Doing
Have been totally stressed out lately, but this nice breeze just rolled through my house which felt nice and made me smile - and I wanted to remember this moment.

Don't Press Its Limit To Small Use
Kanka snapped this one during the party.
This is after I got home and had to peel my clothing and the latex appliance from my blood caked skin.
Makeup Applied... it's time to hit the road.
Took about 4 hours to throw this ruff little mechanism together. The piece is attached to the neck and a hose runs down the chest through the clothing and into a pocket that has a pump full of fake blood. I ditched the little piece seen here attached at the end of the line and ended up rigging the line to a Chloraseptic throat spray bottle, because I needed something that had a real pump and stop valve to allow me to keep a constant pressure of blood in the tube throughout.

Zipzz.. Zizz Zahh
Note to self, but more so... a note to my future children (the Internet never dies).
-
"Be careful what name you give yourself on your business card." While Thomas is my professional name (on card), my heart aches everytime a friend refers to me as Thomas instead of Tom. This may be due to a lack of "hanging out" with these people I deem friends.. my own too busy fault. However... there are a number of women who also call me Thomas as well. Now while I find this totally endearing and really really (third-time) really hot... They are refering to me on a mother-based level and thus, this can become disturbing or very good in their favor depending on the woman (see Oedipus Complex). It's Freud speak and it's fact to me and it either works or doesn't. (Don't mess with Freud!) Anyways... I've always judged friendship on the level of name recognition.
-
While it is handy to judge folks on what they call you in the immediate 'I can't see who just called my name factor', ... It's also a great and simple way to determine the 'know' factor when you walk though a crowd. Your professional name can kill you if you don't tell the folks who are close, what you want to be called... but hey it's the 90's so.... Ohh shoot wait... The 90's are gone... Must be getting old.
-
Anyways children... point is... 'Do what you want... call yourself what you will'... just don't shame the Schaefer name! Your mother, probably called me Thomas, before she called me Tom, before she called me 'You Fucking Asshole!!', before she called me the greatest thing she ever slept with.. before she called me, as I do her 'The Most Important Person I Shared My Life With". There is nothing wrong with being a Romantic and living life as such kids. It will help either keep you out of trouble or in serious trouble... depending on your mood (smile). Most importantly a romantic attitude will help you meet the right person one day. Dedication to oneself is paramont to finding a person of equal mind whom you're willing to give up everything you dedicated your life toward... that is love.

That is love.

The Head Of Small Talk
Tonight I have finally acquired a copy of the Ronnie Littell Special. It has taken 2 years worth of travel to the Buffalo area... but now we have it and the truth will soon be revealed.

The Spin Cycle Rolls On
Just need to admit to myself that I am over-worked right now. I've taken on too many tasks in too small a window. I'm creating my own stress. I need to be a better manager of my time.

Put Those Stamps On The Letters
-
Holiday season has me in kind of a funk. Might be the fact that I have too many projects going on at once or maybe that winter is a cold and lonely season. Probably the first, but the last still sticks and twists right between my fixed and floating ribs. It's been mentioned on several occasions that I've kept the personal life out of this blog the past 2 years. Yeah pretty true.. this thing was meant to be a catalog of ideas for my work. What I didn't expect, but should have known would happen, is that the work and reality portions would mix on here too. It makes perfect sense since most of the work is themed around personal issues anyways. Yeah... no content for 2 years... how it goes. I'll have to stick with it till the end of this year. Next year may be different thought. It's been strange times these past 2 though. Everyone I know is either married, getting married, having kids, with kids, getting divorced or something else outside of my realm. And as I get older I realize that that whole side of life hasn't hit me as of yet and it's a rather depressing thing. Going out and doing anything with my friends tends to be a drag for me because at the end of the night I get to share an endearing conversation with myself as I head back home. Standing around at parties with my friends and their husbands and wives and such can make you ask yourself "This isn't me because?" People are always saying how lucky I am to be single again and blah blah blah. Let me tell you something... it gets real old real quick. Sure most of my heros were single as well, but I have a suspicion they had the same attitude as me... when does it end. Married friends tell me they know of these great ladies they want me to meet. Divorced friends tell me to stay single.... they're bitter I know and they have that right, but at least they can be bitter. I'm reduced to getting personal on a blog thats supposed to be about my work... and sadly this is part of the work. Definitely a reflection of things I'm producing... or not producing. I'd say my mental state can be understood by the amount of work I produce in a given year... or better, the number of correspondences I send out in a given year. Barker complained the other day that he hasn't gotten anything from me in the mail for ages... it's a reflection on me and the way things are for sure and it hurts. I figured I'd be a happier person this year... I'm working out everyday. I'm eating better. I'm learning new skills. I'm building out the studio. My business with Cherrylipped is taking off... it's been a great year. But at the end of every day there is still a sigh that comes out of me and I know it's not because the day was difficult... it's just a sigh about the state of things and the parties and shows I didn't go to.

So I spent a good number of hours this week going back into this blog to fix some PHP transition errors and get some things more organized on my servers home directory and weed out things that don't link anymore and such (Tyfoon CMS is now up and running! Thanks Nic!!!!) . It was a painful process that still isn't done as 2007 still needs to have all of it's links re-routed to the proper directory on my server. But yeah.. it was tough going through things again and interesting to see the drop out in 2007 to current. A lot of it made me smile, but there were other portions I wish I could go back and rewrite. Life doesn't let you correct mistakes from the past though and so we live with them. Thankfully most of my mistakes from 2007-2008 aren't on here so I suppose thats a good thing... though you can't learn much from nothin'. Barker wrote me once and told me that after reading the blog from beginning to end one day he was convinced it was one of the most depressing things he ever read. After going through it myself past to current I have to agree. This isn't a very happy place, but there are some things that still make me smile.
