But also, the song <a href="http://free.napster.com/player/?play_id=22126299&type=track" rel="external">Romeo and Juliet</a>.  Its a cover of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dire_Straits" rel="external">Dire Straits</a> songs, but it is a song that I've always liked when it has been on the radio, or a show, or a movie.  The Killers do a good cover of it.  And It got stuck in my head.  Its one of those songs where you can really pull out any line of it and use it as an image.  This is the line I pulled out.  A simple stick figure, and you can tell he's sad.

I was listening to the Crow Soundtrack.  I was finished with this drawing before the first song was done.  I was visioning a guy running across an urban rooftop scene, and flying right off the edge.  And who doens't think of that.  Running of the edge of a building.  For the thrill.  For the excitement.  Wondering if you survive or not.  And if you survive.  What happens next.  You can't go back to your old life can you?  You've done something great.  In a sense of the word.  Something that not everyone else experiences.  <br /><br />I always think back to years ago.  Before 9/11.  Before Fight Club.  I had this vision and reasoning that I wanted to experience a plan crash.  Or even just a disabled plane.  Something shocking.  Something that before that moment of  life or death hits I can think, "Wow... this is my moment.  In all the people that have ever lived so minute of a percent of them have experienced this."  I'm not insensitive.  I don't have a deathwish.  I'm not sick.  I just, want to experience things my own way.  Ordinary and extraordinary.  Things that others haven't.  And I guess....That's why I have so many stories.  So many experiences. <br /><br />So would I jump of a roof.  I've jumped off bridges, dams, houses, cliffs and more.  Why not a building.  I've done stupid and deadly things before.  And I lived.  And I'm different on the other side.<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC07172009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="ajc07172009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/page1_blog_entry291_1.jpg" width="275" height="275"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day Two-Hundred and Eighty-Three</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-07-16T23:02:27-04:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/05cdc8c53deee786c228b10ff28eb688-290.html#unique-entry-id-290</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/05cdc8c53deee786c228b10ff28eb688-290.html#unique-entry-id-290</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[What happens when you put off that last meeting with a friend for a later date and it never comes.

God implores him to realize that every single person is special and the main character gives up talking to God and says "Yeah, well whatever.  You can't teach God anything."  <br /><br />The whole premise of religion in the book is that if a father is the image of God in a boy's head, what happens when your father is never around?  Its an interesting premise.   The main character talks about how his father was never in his life.  Thus his version of God.

One of the horrible and awesome things about drawing in pen is that its permanent.  The "correct way" to draw is to sketch in pencil then go over the lines you like in ink, and erase the light pencil.  Or at least thats what I recall from the little art training I've had from high school.  I never bothered with that.  I draw in pen and once it touches the paper there is no taking it back.  Sucks sometimes.<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC04192009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="AJC04192009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/AJC04192009" width="170" height="207"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day One-Hundred and Ninety-Four</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-04-18T23:47:24-04:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/8599a615dd42fb6aba1610f9f425aab0-198.html#unique-entry-id-198</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/8599a615dd42fb6aba1610f9f425aab0-198.html#unique-entry-id-198</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I really love my necklace.

But in while waiting I drew this picture.  There were these three smoke stacks way down the lake.  I liked the sight of them.  So I drew them, and then a hand grabbing it.

Thank you Steve.  I don't hate you for introducing me to Piebald.  Maybe some slight hate for not telling me you were getting married, or not inviting me to the wedding, or giving a reason for me not being invited. And maybe there is some slight anger over you inviting me out the weekend you were getting married (even though I was not invited to the wedding) because you said you wanted to see me before moving to Florida, but then not returning any of my phone calls that weekend....when I had specifically dropped  everything I was doing and drive 5 hours to see you the weekend before work started and told you the only reason I was coming was to see you before you move.  No I don't hold a grudge.  By way....did your marriage fail.  I don't know for sure, since I haven't talked to you since, but word is it has.  That's a shame.  By the way, everyone's wedding that I have been present at....they're all still married.<br /><br />Wow...got that off my chest.

I wanted a lady's face looking up.  Half her face, in the lower left hand corner.  and a guy in a doorway silhouetted in the top right hand corner.  But after drawing the guy silhouetted I decided I wanted another shot at drawing a silhouette.  So I found a random picture of a lady leaning again a doorway and drew it as a silhouette.  Unfortunately she had her arms crossed.  And while it is a good outline of her, with out detail it just looks like she has big boobs.  Whoops.  Anyways, the idea for the drawing and the lyric come from a Portishead song.<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC03102009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="AJC03102009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/AJC03102009" width="256" height="197"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day One-Hundred and Fifty-Four</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-03-09T23:29:39-04:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/4b805da0fda78009899595d927161b86-156.html#unique-entry-id-156</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/4b805da0fda78009899595d927161b86-156.html#unique-entry-id-156</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[More Smashing Pumpkins influence.

And decided to draw.  <br /><br />A while ago, read years and years ago, I wanted a tattoo.  I don't have any tattoos.  I still kind of want one.  But I always, since I was 18, wanted one that I created myself.  I first wanted a roman numeral IV.  It has some significance, and I had a design for it I created.  After a while though, it lost some of its meaning.  And I didn't consider it anymore.  Then I started drawing something else.  Something totally my own creation.  <br /><br />I decided it didn't have to represent anything, but just had to be mine.  It I ever had ink put onto my body (other than that ink spot tattoo Jenna gave me on my back years ago with a metal dart and a pen, that I believe went away after a few months) it would have to be something I drew myself.  Not something picked out of a book or off a wall.  For some reason, I'd never call myself an artist.  But I do love to draw.  This is what I picked out for myself.  What I drew that I liked.  There are lots of versions of this that I drew.  But I just loved the sketch I made.  So maybe someday.<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC02082009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="AJC02082009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/AJC02082009" width="252" height="185"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day One-Hundred and Twenty-Four</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-02-07T12:19:54-05:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/7e02df27c67b17d6284bdd97411e879a-125.html#unique-entry-id-125</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/7e02df27c67b17d6284bdd97411e879a-125.html#unique-entry-id-125</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I was listening to Minus the Bear today.

So it has been harder to listen to my iPod on break (without resorting to headphones).  Today the kitchen worker stole the stereo in the morning and had it all day.  When I went there to get coffee the Good Life was playing on the stereo.  This of course led to them being my mind, and me playing them when I came home tonight.  And that got me thinking about the one line that stands out, about the mouse scurrying across the floor.  So I drew mice.  Unfortunately my mice are fat.  And probably couldn't scurry if they had to.  They look more like waddlers than scurriers (my computer doesn't recognize scurriers as a word).  <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC01202009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="AJC01202009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/AJC01202009" width="328" height="211"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day One-Hundred and Five</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-01-19T22:34:22-05:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/a3c3e9fbb66dc9695e4678676dc2e100-106.html#unique-entry-id-106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/a3c3e9fbb66dc9695e4678676dc2e100-106.html#unique-entry-id-106</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I was listening to Piebald tonight.

I can't think of this being true of any other band I like.  I listened to the Clash tonight to sort of lift my spirits tonight.  I wasn't in a bad mood, but the Clash energizes me.  I really could listen to their albums continuously I think.  They have such range.  I remember one time Matt and I were at the Essex Street Bar and Pub (which has the best jukebox I have ever seen).  We put two dollars in the jukebox only to discover that the buttons to search through the albums didn't work.  However I recalled the number for the album "London Calling" and we both knew the track listing from that album.  We were able to find six songs on there to play no problem.  And when we played them, six Clash songs in a row, not a single person in the bar was upset.  That's the Clash.  That's something that could only happen from "The only band that matters."<br /><br /><a href="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/AJC01132009.jpg" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="AJC01132009" src="http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/AJC01132009" width="393" height="260"/></a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Day Ninety-Eight</title><dc:creator>meisaj@mac.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-01-12T00:45:00-05:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/e8688c7700d3c4529f3512264aebbd2e-99.html#unique-entry-id-99</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/meisaj/page1/files/e8688c7700d3c4529f3512264aebbd2e-99.html#unique-entry-id-99</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Sometimes the places my imagination leads are a little creepy.

The ring....well someone very special to me gave me the ring.  And it always stays with the necklace, regardless of how things are with that person.  I used to wear the necklace daily.
