Hey, itsa me!

alienmisprint

Sorry for the long hiatus guys, I was explaining to Tony why I had been gone from the forums, and I figured I should let everyone in on it. I keep meaning to get back on the forums, it just seems like I never have any extra time between the Army thing, my job tattooing, and the family. I've been focusing alot more on my art, and on supporting elements of it, so most all my free time goes to getting my website up and running(which it is finally) and managing my other sites (Deviantart, Facebook, MySpace up until recently) and working on different art projects with Photoshop. I even cut back on my cigar intake quite a bit, it seems like I might get one in every other week or so nowadays. It just keeps coming back to making the decision of spending my time in the garage smoking a cigar, or spending the last couple of hours of the day with my wife and kid, and normally the family wins out, lol.

I'm sorry to have just kind of bailed on everyone when I did, I honestly never intended to stop getting on the forums altogether, it just kind of coincided with the dwindling of the amount of cigars I was smoking. It kept being, "Eh, I haven't smoked any cigars lately, I'll check the forums tomorrow." Which pretty much turned into never, as is usually the case with procrastinators of my caliber.

I plan on frequenting a bit more on here, but probably not as much as I did before. Unless, of course, I am shunned and sent away in disgrace. Kidding aside, I do miss it on here and want to kind of get back in the swing.

So, how's everything been with you guys?

alienmisprint

This is how long its been since I've been on the forums: I completely forgot how to put spaces in the paragraphs.

alienmisprint

Hah-ha! I remembered!

Family is first. I hope all is going well and that you'll have your own tv show one day. Then we can say that we knew you when you were just some loser on a message board. hahaha

Congrats on your success!!

alienmisprint

Lol, no TV show for me. And I dunno if I'd say success, I still have a hell of a long way to go, but thanks nonetheless!

Welcome back, man. Family is important, so it's great that you are spending time with them. If you haven't, join the Cigar People group on facebook. It's admin'd by Hays and it's mostly Ccom people.

Man, she is so flaky, we still haven't finished it. As a matter of fact, Kevin and I started a collaboration backpiece of Alice in Wonderland on a guy and finished it a couple of months ago. If I had to put a percentage on her arm, I'd say I was maybe 25% done with it. You can see the backpiece and all my more recent stuff, I dunno how to do a link in here, but its just www.alienmisprint.com .
