People ask me what I do.  I often sing my little mantra of remembrance: "do be do be do."  Not that often.

Two days ago I discovered yahoo will get rid of all my websites (I have so far received no notification).  I love yahoo though it is pretty impersonal to me since I know no one there (feel the same way about Google and Ebay).  I list stuff on Ebay and of course when they let my stuff sell I do well.  I do not have a real job.  But I work all the time as though I do often and usually for free.  My painful elbow and wrists attest to the fact that I work (not ergo-dynamically evolved and my feng shui is bad too).  My place is piled high with paper, comics, art and more.  I've branched out to metal and Coca Cola trays and stuff.

What I do is make websites mostly for myself and free to others.  I like to show people how to make them for themselves.  Now, however yahoo will charge $5 a month and in a year $10 a month as geocities yahoo is phased out.  Yahoo is phasing many useful things out.   Wonder if someone bought them.  My film reviews never show up anymore.  I write.  I draw.  I make web pages. I scan and photograph images (and nature and parades and concerts).    Yesterday I made a 3 page to do list by hand.  If and when something sells I wrap it and send invoices and mail the package at the post office (though they would come here if I wanted for free).

Once at the end of the day I wear myself out I fall onto my temperpedic bed (a single no less) andlet out a little sigh of relief.  I turn to one of the books around me and open and read a few pages or more and fall asleep.  Sometimes the light is on a few hours.  The next morning I get up write for 2 hours correspondence or update web pages or process stuff.  In between I swim do a hot tub or sauna or go for a drive to the Movie Theatre or talk on Skype to my gal or a friend or I go to lunch or walk in Lithia park.  I see a lot of people I know at events I attend.

So anyway I made this web page:

   http://graphic-illusion-comics-original-art.com/ (fishing for compliments not a critique) (yesterday see all 4 pages if interested -- it looks sort of professional to me.  I believe over editing kills the potential spark but this will be my new baby to craddle and evolve and add creative juice to over time.  When I have the energy.  I was never that active a person but here there is stuff one can do daily.  I'm good at creating work.  I make my youtube videos of my comics and art and other stuff.  I'll probably film the July 4th parade tomorrow and in the evening watch the fireworks. 

Soon I'll walk up a cold stream of water perhaps today with long paints and tennis shoes and a t-shirt in the middle of water).  Summer took a long time to get here.  Done 6 trips driving this year.)  I show the webpage not as an act of trying to sell anyone anything but only what 4 hours of work looks like.  And it isn't finished.  My regular web pages where I make endless links I do in my spare time or when I cannot think what else to do.  Then there is the couch & TV and laying on it until I pass out.  And now I have a new masseuse and my other masseuse and her both gave me hugs at a recent event so things are good. 

What I ought to be doing according to the should's from decades ago from family is "get a job;" wash the dishes, clean your place, put it all away.   Today I did mop the bathroom floor with my feet and soap and water and paper towels.  I never did finish remodeling it though and I've been here 4 years.  My regular unprofessional not- a- template website looks like this: http://graphic-illusion.com  each link is a webpage I have hand made.  If you look you can find 50 links or more at the 4 main pages...each has links.  OR vids or more. 

But I may have made 1000 websites over time.  With over a million hits.  Some are good and I know which ones they are. I know how to do seo.  Yahoo now will do some for me I think. 

 I use frontpage 2000 and once used dreamweaver.

Most of my websites are just to get information out.  I am sure there is a more professional program or inventory programs out there just waiting for me to discover and buy and use.  I watched someone once with a machine get all his stuff listed and organized.  In fact I used it in 2000 and something or other in Seattle.

Hear Palin is stepping down as Governor this makes me happy maybe we can get an environmentalist in there.  So I do comment politically and spiritually because I feel I must.  I have a BA in Journalism and we are suppose to be the conscience of people in office.  Since power does courrupt absolutely.

I also have something I want to invent for storing comics better.  A certain sized box.

Off to find food.  I skip breakfast.  I do dinner early.  Lunch is my favorite meal.  (OK back from Lunch hasd a California roll and 2 pieces of shrimp not really into raw fish).  Miso soup.  Four sexy waitresses.

I am a simple guy.  Feet in cold wet water is a supreme joy for me.

HEY TOMORROW IS JULY 4th HAVE A HAPPY ONE!
