Give away from Shellmo

While visiting WIXY's blog I seen he had a post for a giveaway by Shellmo. I don't usually enter contest's because I don't win but I figure I''ll give this one a shot. At least then I can say I tried. She is giving away a loaf of bread from a store in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Go to Shellmo's blog to see a pic of the Cranberry Pecan Bread.

I use to Draw!

I use to sketch growing up to relieve stress. Now I only do it for the kid's birthday's(if it is something I can draw). The only thing is I can't put on paper what is in my head but I can look at a drawing and transfer it my way. The hardest thing I drew was the Harry Potter stuff. I drew all the house shields. I draw more cartoon stuff than real life stuff and I don't consider myself an artist but sometimes it does relax me and I've been considering going back to it. (I'm considering trying to draw Betty Boop). Any way here are 3 drawings I did as a teenager. The Horse and puppy I drew froma How To Draw book and Ariel I looked at the movie cover.



This last picture I drew on Gage's wall just looking at the cover of one of the Harry Potter books.

I don't know maybe I'll go back to drawing here soon.

Incredible Hulk -vs- Incredible Hulk

This past Friday night we decided to have a movie night. We bought stuff for homemade pizza and we went to Blockbuster to rent the new Incredible Hulk. The movie was good but call me old fashioned in a way because I prefer the old television series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. In my opinion I prefer a real person over the computer generated Hulk. I mean there are plenty of huge body builders or even wrestlers that would pull off a good Hulk like Lou. If they can do Batman, Spiderman, IronMan etc... with real people why not the Hulk. Correct me if I'm wrong but in the televison series bullets didn't bounce off the hulk he got wounded and healed quickly whereas in the new hulk bullets bounce off, he could fall from a helicopter and not get injured. In the TV series season finale he jumped from a helicopter and died. The New Hulk is entertaining and interesting I just find it more unbelievable. Well that's just my opinion.
