As the header says, I'm not dead yet. Just real life taking priority and such. After spending 12 of my waking hours involved with work, I don't have much drive to indulge with any hobbies, drawing and story writing being once of them. Which is compounded by the time the weekend arrives. But I can't complain too much though since I do have a job.

With that being said I did manage to dust off old reliable (a mechanical pencil I got it in '92 when I was active duty military) and got something scratched out to try and get me a little bit out of my funk. Hope I can continue, but if I don't, I hadn't died. I'm hoping I can get a couple stories I've been working on uploaded as well if I can shake the laziness bug.

One thing that is perking me up little by little is my impending trip back to Japan in May. I'm hoping mother nature doesn't have a change of plan in mind for that month.
