We had seven years before the ravages of the demons knocked you to your knees. Two beautiful babies came to please. Our honeymoon began on a granite spine where we could survey all that is good in God’s verdant forest choir.
You were my beacon of strength through years of my own demons, real and inside me. Your soft caring heart stood with me the dozen trips to the brink and pulled me back to be Dad and Grandpa.
Sometimes we were vinegar and soda over inane little things but we stood tilted towards each other.
You taught me patience by example. You taught me strength by watching you. My family loved you from your first visit. You’ve been gone a month today but it feels like you’ve been away for years, yet I sense you constantly around me in our children and in three princesses. I love you.

Rest in peace mom and dad, I love you more than words can describe.
Today marks 9 months of Beatrix. Look out hipsters/fauxhawk wearers/and shitty gross people in general….this is the future of Been Deleted, Inc. This reminds me of a quote from the opus that is “RUSHMORE”, “Now, for some of you it doesn’t matter. You were born rich and you’re going to stay rich. But here’s my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down.” That is all for now, until the next time…COURAGE.
I will be on a hiatus for a bit as I gather myself and ready the troops to continue the war of the delete. Until next time, COURAGE.

We’re back from a quick stint in southeastern Antarctica, also known as Laramie. It is back to work for this kid to try and make up some cash which was drained by Mr. Claus and Johnny Mortgage or in our case Jose Monthly Rent. Ah, such is life. I did manage to donate some money to the Montana State Patrol for doing all of 9 miles per hour over the interstate speed limit. Tis’ the season for yearly quotas. Dammit!
That is all for now. Until next time…COURAGE.

The Delete was apparently pretty decent this year. I have been enjoying the NHL center ice package since October, Santa and I have an agreement so I was able to get my gift early. Also the in-laws found the taxidermed masterpiece of a Squirrel in full military garb. This will go nicely with the jackalope mount from a few Christmases ago. Beatrix seems to be enjoying her first xmas as she has been getting some pretty sweet toys and what not to grab and throw on the ground.
We did make the trip from MT to the old stomping grounds of Laramie without much trouble. I don’t miss it here much, maybe it is the fact that I’m still stinging from the time spent here or it is just too close to Colorado which makes me very, very unsettled. Nevertheless we’re here until Sunday morning.
Hope everyone who reads this enjoys their version of the NHL Center Ice package along with a mounted squirrel. Until next time…COURAGE.
Man, I hate me some holidays.
If you have not been exposed to the weirdness and fright of
awkwardfamilyphotos.com , go there now. It will bring back images of your father, grandfather or whomever was always armed with a camera at every family event or happening. Now the general public can reap the rewards of said shutterbugs. ENJOY!
The weekend was a productive one, as you can see from the above, I have the first draft of the book cover going for the “Beendeleted Book Project”. Release date, to be determined and will strictly be releases via PDF and hand published to a my coffee table…at least the first version. Maybe I’ll sign a book deal with all the perks including a massive signing bonuses, set out on a book tour and eventually have to call it due to fallout occuring from Fox News using false Palin footage and compromising my street cred, I will then appear on Oprah and have her call me a liar as I’ve made up bits and pieces of my million little pieces and once again I will be reduced to the humble designer/illustrator that I started out as…..I know, it sounds glorious.
This is week is a short work week, which will be nice. Maybe I can teach Beatrix how to talk or how to hate on some fauxhawks with the spare time. We’ll see. Anyways…more to come with the book action, until next time….courage.
