Painting like I know what I'm doing

As of a few years ago I have taken up the art of painting as a side hobby. It is not the type of work that my sister Susannah, my friend Le or others do; but it is a place that I can go to pretend to be that type of artist. I really enjoy working with paint, trying to make something out of nothing, and I have come up with a few ideas that I have put down on canvas. Well this next painting will be very special. A very important person will receive these and I hope that they are up to par. I am going to try and complete four canvasses within the next four weeks. I've been having great thoughts and ideas towards this project and I can't wait to see the outcome. While you wait for those, you can check out some of the work from Susannah Eloyse Prinz, oil Painter extraordinaire.

And we will wait

It is a sad, sad week for fans of the best Rock and Roll Group of all time, U2. Bono, the catalyst of the group had emergency spinal surgery after suffering an injury while preparing for tour dates.I'm a little ticked because I really couldn't wait to see them twice in June. However looking at the big picture, I'm glad that he is OK now and will be rehabilitated for the next time they come around in 2011. For now, I guess the MP3 player will do the trick.

THINGS THAT I MISS

I'm sad tonight. My attitude has gone from positive to sullen. I miss things that are part of me that I may never have back. Some items may seem childish to want, but others I feel are just mine. When will the sad go away. I am awaiting for the day when I can be happy again. Please tell me that there are bright days ahead.

Love comes in 3

My nieces, My love,
The ones I adore,
I love them so much more,
Someone to play with,
Someone to cheer up,
I watch over them through good times and rough,
They make me happy,
They make me smile,
They make me want to stay with her for a while.
I know I cant stay I must go home,
Its so hard, to let her go,
Even though its for a short time,
I count the days till' I see her again,
My nieces, My loves
The ones I adore!

Mom you will be proud of me

I woke up really early on Saturday and cleaned my entire house. Well the downstairs that is. I think my roommates can fend for their own rooms. Cleaning really wasn't my thing growing up, partly because it was not seen as a necessity in our house. I guess I can thank her for wanting to keep the house, the bathrooms, the garage and the backyard clean because it has rubbed off on me for the better. It's weird, because I really don't like to clean, but in this house it keeps you on your toes. Also, it is sort of a way to work the stress out of my system that the gym doesn't take care of. So now I can rest on Sunday and relax. Maybe take a nap. Who knows. Alas...... my room is clean! Anyone have a suggestion?

Friends make my life so Rich

Friends are ones that come from afar but will meet you at the drop of a hat. (Even if it was $104.51)

Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.

Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.

A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.

A Man of Promise

My brother has never received the proper respect and admiration from myself throughout his life. If you have not met Aaron, He is one of the most kind, determined and honorable men that I know. He goes about his way to make sure that people around him are taken care of and comfortable in their environment. He's a great Uncle (3X now), a great friend to MANY, and the best brother anyone could have. There have been many times that Aaron has gone to many extents to help people get through difficult times. One example of my brothers Kindness was when he orchestrated the trip down to AZ to watch U2 in concert last October....... Why does he deserve respect and admiration from his big brother? For many, many reasons. However, here is one that might mean nothing to others, but it blows me away every time I look at the pictures. Driving 12 hours to AZ, dealing with a brother that is pissed off (sorry mom) beyond recognition, because life loves to throw curveballs at people; however in my situation I received a knuckleball. And throughout all the bickering in the car and complaints about whatever issue I was having at the time he endured it and put me in my place and told me the truth about how I really make people feel. Even throughout this 12 hour trip to go wait in line for another 15 hours to see my favorite band, all he ever worried about was that my sister (that at the beginning of the car ride revealed that she was pregnant with her 2nd baby girl RUBY ) was comfortable in line and I had enough food while waiting in line. Ex. breakfast run to McDonalds. This posting goes out to you Aaron l. Ruff. Thanks for being a great brother even though sometimes I tend not to reveal my true feelings. You truly are the best brother any one could ever have.
