Arkham Asylum

I told you I'd be back.

2006-03-07T16:34:00.000-08:00

Yes, that's right true believers I am indeed back. Not exactly back with a vengeance or anthing like that just back for a blog or two. So I've moved out on my own, well not alone. Elizabeth and I about 3 weeks ago moved into the Embassy Apartments in Jonesboro and have been enjoying it ever since. It's been a very nice experience and has me looking forward to spending the rest of my life with the woman I love.
Other than that I've just been working on sculpture and what not. As a matter of fact I just hacked the Art Student Union email to ask for help with empty laundry detergent bottles. I didn't really hack, I was a previous president and knew the password...still felt cool, seeing as how I'm not a member anymore and shouldn't be using the email...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! COBRA-LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!!!!

Craziness

2006-02-06T11:20:00.000-08:00

So...since my last blog, I'm sure you're all wondering what's been going on in my life...for those not in the know, that's sarcasm. Well lets see...not a whole lot has been going on. Just being stupid. I will say this, the Chuck E. Cheese in Jonesboro, FANTASTIC. That's right, they let 23 yr olds in there without kids...funny side know, you're not allowed if you're under 18yr. It's like a club for families...YEAH!
I also got a couple pet hamsters the other day. Well Elizabeth got them for me. Herbert, well he'll bite the holy hell out of a finger if you let him and Zabby, well she sleeps all day.
The craziest thing thus far however took place at work on Saturday, Feburary 4th, 2006. It all started off as another boring morning wasted at work. I had finished my notes for the day and off and on helped Chad, the guy in Garden Center, with his notes. Then after wasting 5 1/2 hours, we got to go to lunch at 12:30. Why? Because Dave came into work. Now I know you don't know these people, but knowing them isn't important to the story. So, I come back to work after an hour and when I enter the back hallway I see Chad standing in the stairwell with a huge gun safe. The biggest one we sell in fact, it stands a whopping 4ft tall and weighs a whopping 328lbs. So I think to myself, I'm glad I wasn't here earlier to mess with that. Then Chad looks at me and says find Kari, our manager. Now I know something is wrong and run to clock on and I find Kari in the break room, she had overheard Chad telling me that. That being said I run back to the stairwell to see Dave laid back on the stairs, pale (later realize from blood loss) with another associate, Cindi, huddled over his foot. When she moved I saw Dave's big toe had become...bigger and had turned the deepest color of purple it could before turning black. As they took care of Dave, I took care of the gunsafe sell. Well an hour or so later, Dave's toe still hasn't stopped bleeding and well let the good times roll, so off to the ER in WR for almost 6 hours and well yup, he's off work with multiple fractures or something, he was drugged up when I talked to him that night. But at least he gets to keep his toe, many who saw it, including myself, were afraid that the toe, well was destroyed and would be done away with. Honestly, this was one of the craziest things to happen in my 4 yrs there...funny story, the year before I was hired, or a couple years actually, the store manager and personel (SP?) manager got fired for getting caught upstairts in the security room, doing the nasty. Yup, who said work can't be interesting.

SHE SAID YES!!!

2006-01-15T21:15:00.000-08:00

Hot damn...Elizabeth said yes to the proposal of marrying me!!! WHOO HOO!!!

KISS THE RING!

It's good to be me.

2006-01-09T11:41:00.000-08:00

Captain's Log, Stardate 01-09-2006.
School has begun and to celebrate Chris, Elizabeth and myself went to see Hostel last night. Great movie, GREAT. Guest starred Miike Takahashi...for those who don't know, he is the God of freak you out gore movies. When he popped up the movie was from then on good because it signified the beginning of the craziness. Everyone should see this movie.
As I stated school has started, Elizabeth had her first class at 8am and goes until about 4pm in the afternoon. Myself, well I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. So what did I do. Well I went and...well first let me tell a story within a story. My mother has some wonderful jewelery. An example is a pair of earrings she owns which she has held onto to offer to my brother and myself to allow them to be made into rings, that's right, engagement rings...See where this is going? Well she's shown them to Elizabeth and myself and we were extremely delighted with them. So today, my mother and myself went to Jonesboro to look at jewelers and see about getting the 5 diamond cluster put onto a engagement ring setting. The first jeweler we stopped at, George's, gave us such a good price for the placing of the cluster and sizing of the ring that we couldn't pass it up. So on Saturday I'll have an engagement ring!
Here's the thing though, we had already decided on a date for our wedding, so Elizabeth know's the ring is coming, it's no big surprise...I wish it was, but we had done research and it seems a lot of people get engaged then pick the ring out so that it's easier on the guy and the girl gets a ring that she likes...easy right?
So that all being said, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm getting married!

What's this? A Blog, you say?

2006-01-07T14:43:00.000-08:00

So yeah, I'm not back with a new web layout or anything cool like that...sorry. So this is what's been going on with me lately. My wonderful girlfriend has moved in with my family and myself and will be attending ASU next semester and onward through May 2007. I recently broke my left pinky toe, the day after Christmas...I went to work afterwards for 5 hours, this being before I knew it was broken. When I got home, there sticking up was a bone trying to come out of the top of my toe and as for my toe...well it was swollen and black...simply put, Awesome. My mom also had surgery on her right foot to correct some troubles she's had with arthritis. The cut tendons and bones to straighten her toes again, the next day off to wally world she went...crazy how far surgery has come. Speaking of Wally World...well it still sucks...the sad part is they posted the they're recruiting for management and after talking to a girl who did that last year, well I'm debating whether or not to do it...more money, more ideas for artwork, more stress, more hate...so who knows. Well that's about it. Hope all is well with everyone else. Cobra-la and all that jazz.

VIVA EDDIE GUERRERO

2005-11-14T11:35:00.000-08:00

I know many of you find wrestling to be something of an embarrassment to society. I however love it and thrive on it. Honestly if I could do anything my dreams as a child were to be a comic book artist or a wrestler. Simply put one of my earliest memories are of my dad and myself sitting watching Sting and Ric Flair wrestle, it was the feud of the mid 80's and it was the first time Sting won the WCW Title. Why do I remember that, wrestling is one of the things that bond myself to my father, it's a love we share. So that being said I was saddened to hear that on Sunday morning one of my personal favorites, Eddie Guerrero, had passed away. It's said that on Sunday morning he met up with some of his co-wrestlers for breakfast and afterwards returned to his room and wasn't seen for some time. When friends went to look they found him in the bathroom with toothbrush still in his mouth, dead. The cause of death is believed to be heart failure. Guerrero, when I was young, amazed me with his high flying style in the ring and his antics later on in his career and even stole one of my beliefs in life "Cheat to Win". Guerrerro amazed me later in life when, after being fired from WWE for drug abuse, entered into rehab and some months later made a successful return to the ring to later become champ. Yes, the matches and winners are planned and known ahead of time, but like everyone in the business and everyone who watches, it was known, Eddie Guerrero earned that belt and the honor of holding and defending it for the year that he did. So this blog is just to honor the fact that a man who deserved a longer life, who enjoyed pleasing the fans that came to see him perform night after night and who had overcome so many odds and demons that had destroyed so many others has passed away and will be greatly missed. Viva, Eddie Guerrero.

Success!

2005-11-09T17:01:00.000-08:00

So yeah I've been helluva busy lately...sarcasm at it's finest. No, truthfully things have been a little hectic with school and all. You know end of semester...no matter how hard you try it happens, regardless of what is done in preperation. So since the last post I've read The Island of Dr. Moreau...quite honestly one of the best books I've read, ever. The Invisible Man...proving to be a tougher read...but I will fight and finish it. Other than that...lot of prints just go pumped out tonight 4 editions of 5 prints to be exact...just one silk screen layer so it wasn't anything major but they go together as one big piece so I was proud. So that's been about it. Ciao, Cobra-lalalalalalalalalalalala!

The Coolest Gift Ever...Period.

2005-10-26T08:19:00.000-07:00

So as the Title suggest, I have recieved the coolest gift ever. Elizabeth for Christmas has adopted a spotted hyena in my name at the St. Louis Zoo. So I now have a baby hyena at the St. Louis Zoo. Here's how this came about. I love hyenas...LOVE THEM. At some point I mentioned I had always wanted a pet hyena and Zabborino, being the hero she is, read an article about adopting animals at zoos and looked and sure enough found and adopted a hyena that's not yet a year old. It's name, we don't know yet, I've been naming it Malawi, this is because a couple months ago a rabid hyena went on a two day kill spree in the village Malawi in Africa. It attacked 24 people and killed nine. So at some point in time if any of you go to the St. Louis Zoo, look for my name on the Parents Wall and look for my baby...I should be getting a picture of him before too long and I'll surely post it for all to see, cause I have not only the coolest gift ever, but the coolest pet/child ever.

What is this? A new post? Surely not!

2005-10-21T08:56:00.000-07:00

So I'm sitting here in Digital Printmaking listening to Minority by Green Day and thought to myself...I should write a blog. This also is coming from seeing the Mandster in all her glory and realizing no one blogs anymore. Speaking of that, Zac will not be with us for a couple of months. See where Zac works, which will remain unnamed, has instigated some sort of mother board that will track where the workers go on the internet at all times. The boss of Zac's department told them of this as a warning and told them they were looking to make examples so that being said, don't plan on reading a blog by Zac for some time.
Myself, well I've been busy. Working, too much. Going to school and spending time with Elizabeth. I did turn 23 on October 12, that was a fun event...OLD AGE!!! Speaking of school, for those of you who don't know I'll be graduating in May instead of December. Here's why. I've changed my body of work from torture to anti-Wal*Mart. And in a few short months I will not be able to create enough work for a senior show. I could, but it'd be rushed and would not be of the quality I think I'm capable of. So, I'm going to be living in Southaven, working at Wal*Mart, commuting to ASU and on Tuesday/Thursday nights I'll be the grant-in-aid in the Sculpture Lab...aka, J's Bitch. So that should prove to be useful. That all being said, if you would like an invitation mailed to you for my senior show, I ask that you please email me your Mailing Addresses to trashcan_man19@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Hope all is going well for everyone else. Ciao, Bitches.

My new life plan.

2005-10-11T10:52:00.000-07:00

So yesterday me and a few guys from work were talking about what we were going to do with our lives. I thought for a moment...tomorrow October 12, I'll be 23...what am I honestly going to do with my life? Work at Wal-Mart for years on end? Get the comic book rolling and make some profit on it? Try out at an open practice for the Cardinals? The answers are as follows, I hope to hell no, Hopefully, and Give me 3 years to get into shape and I'm doing it.
My actual answer to this question came when Danny picked up a magazine with everyone's favorite adoptive mother, Angelina Jolie, on it, stating she was mother of the century or some bullshit. So my answer became this. I'm moving to Africa or somewhere middle way between Africa and Asia...maybe Italy. Why my friends ask, well here's why. I'm going to go over there and travel and find as many unwanting parents as possible and simply give them a little money and I'll be a proud new father/mentor. After a few questioning looks, Todd, thankfully realized what the plan was and said he was in. Everyon else need some explainin to be done. So I furthered the explianation. I'm going to adopt as many children as I can and keep adopting. By the time I'm 43, I'll have an army of 20-something yr olds ready to do my bidding. That's right folks...I'm going to start growing my own army. You may think it's sounds crazy but honestly, I think you get 3 people willing to do this and it'd work...we'd start first with the true power front, the Vatican. After that, Europe would be ours. From there well we already have most of the Asian and African population adopted so that's taken care of. What about the Middle East you ask? We'll nuke them with Korea's supply...and by nuke, I mean completely wipe it off the map. Then while America trembles in fear we'll wait and see what the leader at that times does. Probably be some pompus ass Republican and they'll try to fight us, well we'll have a much larger army, it'll be easy pickings. After they send their whole army over after us, well no one will be left to protect the wonderful America...we'll just march in, parade style, and take over. Yup, and what will I do after that? I'll send every damn politician to Antartica and then set up my own government with my own people in charge, then I'll go back to Florence, cause I'll own it and enjoy my benefits. Yeah, that's one hell of a plan.

A New Post?!?

2005-10-04T11:04:00.000-07:00

So I've decided that I'm going to post again. What have I been up too you all may be wondering? Not a whole lot. Went and spent the weekend in Southaven with Elizabeth a couple weeks ago. Good times, got lost in the ghetto of Memphis. While there we were witnesses to 8yr old children running nude through the yards of the ghetto...and yes even at the tender age of 8, they're hung like government mules...insanity I tell you. We also visited the Brook's Museum, University of Memphis and Tunice, where on Saturday night at the Grand Casino we witnessed a Freestyle Fight Championship Tournament...quite honestly, the coolest thing ever to experience live and in person. From there it's been work, more work and when I can fit it in school. How sad it that? I have to fit school in with my work schedule. This past weekend I got beat in quite a few bets with Elizabeth...first she beat me to Wendy's for dinner so I had to pay, then she, being a vegetarian, bet me that if she could eat a #3, which is a Triple Cheeseburger, Fries and Drink, for the next two meals I'd pay, one meal being sushi, and I'd pay for bowling that night. So I'm in debt for 2 meals and bowling. I win the first game of bowling...feeling manly, soon to realize Elizabeth was just warming up and in the second game well I lost...my ass is still hurting from that beating. So that's what I've been up too. Hope you enjoyed this bi-monthly post from me, Willie T. COBRA-LALALALALALALALA!!!

The Movie of Movies

2005-09-20T11:11:00.000-07:00

So my wonderful girlfriend, Elizabeth, actually found Audition in Little Rock last week. This movie is by a guy named Miike Takahashi, I think that's the correct spelling. Anywho, I got stuck on this guy after seeing Ichi The Killer. That movie actually made me squirm with discomfort as the main character sliced his on tongue off. Audition took it a step further. Here is a story of a middle aged widower who seven years after his wife dies is talked back into dating by his teenage son and producer friend with the hopes of remarraige. The producer friend sets up an audition for potential dates and the main character falls immediately for a girl. After a few dates the man and young woman take a weekend away together and she strangely disappears, hence the weird shit starts. As he struggles to cope he begins to chase the girl down using what he knows of her and soon finds himself at home alone with nothing other than a cup of brandy, which has been drugged by the young woman. Here the fun starts. The girl begins acupuncture on the man, he's been paralyzed but can still feel all the pain. She then puts needles in his eye sockets by his nasal cavity and begins to flick them to induce more pain. Soon she's locked gaunlets to his ankles and wrapped piano wire around his left ankle. "This wire cuts easily through meat and bone," she says before she starts cutting. Takashi draws the cutting off of the foot to about 3 minutes and when it was done, I was dry heaving...I stopped the movie, because I wasn't feeling good and when I got up I was still to light headed and almost blacked out. How awesome is that? It's got the be one of the best movies I've ever in my life seen with Ichi coming in a close second. Oh I also got an XM Radio...purty FUCKING sweet.
As mentioned I also have a girlfriend now, Elizabeth a.k.a. Zabborino "The Mutha Fucking Hero". She's an art student from Lyon College in Batesville but will be transferring to UofM next semester. So now you all know, and knowing is half the battle, G.I. JOE! Ciao, BITCHES!

In Search of...Maniquin Heads.

2005-09-13T20:06:00.000-07:00

So our story starts like this. JC Penney is having a liquidation sale and they're selling some stuff, maniquins included. So J decided we should go look. So J, Tessa and myself headed for JC Penney. In search of things for sculpture projects and well J sees a former student while I'm checking out and one thing leads to another and she asks did you see the maniquin heads? Hell no we didn't see them. So she says well go ask and see if Stephen is in and he'll know if we have some left. So off J and myself go to begin our search for Stephen when J turns around and asks for Stephen's last name. The girl looks up and with a straight face says King...the guy we're looking for is Stephen King...could things get any weirder? J and myself in JC Penney? Looking for Stephen King? Looking for Stephen King so we can ask about Maniquin Heads? I think not. So I just wanted to share that story with you. In the end, there was no Stephen King and no Maniquin Heads...pretty piss poor ending, huh? I thought so too.

My Comment of Dan's Blog

2005-09-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

So Dan in his comments mentioned some things about the Hurricane. His blog is http://grafikdan.blogspot.com. He asked that some of us who know him comment on what we thought of the whole mess so I put my thoughts down and thought I would put them here to share as well in case someone didn't make it to Dan's page to see.
Here it is:

W. Tribble said...
An British paper, I believe it was, interviewed one of the survivors of the Tsunami from last year and asked about the differences between that disaster and the Hurricane. Let the List begin.
1. Americans jumped on their world power high horse and came rushing to help. As for the Hurricane, Bush has done little or nothing to help.
2. No one, and I mean no one, was reported being mugged, raped, killed, nothing. NOT A GODDAMN THING after the Tsunami, but here it's a different story as Dan pointed out.
3.People on the other side of the world are more civilized and accepting of others, as the man interviewed pointed out. Everyone helped everyone. People who lost everything, what'd they do? They didn't go hide in Sporting Event Dome, no they went out and began helping as soon as they could, they didn't wait for the top government official to tell them what need to be done, they just went out surveyed the situation and did what they could.
Here you may wonder. Well we loot, rape and kill. We're the land of the free goddammit and we have the right to do that in event of a disaster, that's our God given right. Makes you wonder just where the true civilizations are located and who the true world powers are. Those that immediatly help their own after losing everything they had or the ones that kill to make it through because it's their supposed God given right here in the America, Land of the Free. And when we recover from this and look out at the world, I'm sure many will still wonder why the rest of the world looks down upon Americans and are simply disgusted witht the idea of America in general.

W. Tribble said...
P.S. How great is it that if gas prices go higher and high that they might ration it out. Hmmm let me think, Ration gas, tell us not to buy it unless we need it...sounds like I'll be dropping out of school for a semester so I won't have to take gas away from some one who needs it...Great job you're doing there George, way to use our oil resevoirs and help out with some of this. If ever there was a time to say it this is it, I'm proud my vote was against our current President. Took you a fucking week before you even started to do anything to help outside of telling us only buy gas if you need it...God, I wish we had more leaders like that in the world.

So there it is. We've talked about this in my Digital Printmaking class. If gas goes as high as $5 a gallon I'll be able to maybe afford to come to my classes once a week. Once one a MWF and Once on a TTR. So what exactly will I be able to accomplish then? Nothing, I won't have money for my art supplies and I won't have money to buy anything for sculpture, printmaking or anything else. So I'm going to watch the gas prices and in all likely hood they'll break $6 and I'll be forced to drop out of school due to money issues...so yeah everything in my life is going good except for the prospect of money, I may just move into the sculpture lab and transfer to one of the Wal-Mart stores in Jonesboro, then maybe I could afford gas or just buy a bike.

These Breaks Between Classes Are Killing Me

2005-09-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

So I guess I could be working on a project, but I just got done eating and Shelley has a class right now and the air compressor is broken so I can't cut metal. So I'm sitting in the sculpture lab blogging and drinking a fablous Propel Berry Flavored Water Drink that Dan got me hooked on in Italy. Speaking of which, how you doing Dan? You making ok after the Hurricane, Buuuuddy?!?
Anywho, I have nothing to blog about just thought I would cause well I got nothing else to do. Oh, I did go on a date recently, with that cool art chick from Lyon I mentioned, Elizabeth. So after almost a year of not dating I think I held up pretty well. It was honestly the best date I've ever been on...but I digress...on to the morbid stuff you people are used to, right?
I got nothing morbid, it's weird a hurricane hits and kills thousands leaves even more without homes and everything in my life starts to fall into place and I'm happy for a change...not to take away from what happened...but I don't know, it seems fitting in the wake of destruction the life of Tribble finally becomes enjoyable and worthwhile...weird shit I tell, weird shit.

Add on to "Holy Blogger Batman"

2005-08-29T12:44:00.000-07:00

God, no more spammers for me...how you may be thinking is Tribble so sure he'll have no more spammers. Two words: Word Verification. That's right, go under seetings and then click the link for comments and turn that shit on. God, I just saved Zach from an eternity of suffering though blog spammers...I must surely be awsome, right?

Holy Blogger Batman

2005-08-29T11:29:00.000-07:00

So holy shit, Zach wrote a new blog. He's even gone so far as to start rewriting our comic book...for something like the fifth time, I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get far enough along to actually start drawing the thing and trying to publish it.
I haven't heard from Tim, I talked to Krystal though and she said he was busy as all good Men of God should be, I guess...who know? If a man of god was busy, how busy would he have to be to be as busy as a man of god? Oh, that's a tricky one...I guess when Tim joins the blogging family again we can get an answer.
So has anything been going on in my life...I've worked, gone to school and not had any time to rest from either...for some reason I made an unconscious decision to be a workaholic this semester...why? No one knows, if anyone does and they aren't telling me, I'm kicking your ass.
That's it, a boring post from a boring guy. Ciao.

I, Blogger

2005-08-27T18:21:00.000-07:00

So apparently, when the jobs start the blogging stops. Not here, I say, not here. I blog, work (2 jobs), school, oh and hey I still blog. The rest of you, lazy. Anywho, what am I doing? Jack shit...I've been invited to a ladies night in Batesville, wild women, I gotta be going, right? Wrong, because of working all freaking weekend, I have to stay in the Ridge and get sleep so I can hold it together for work, dammit. So off and on since the invite I have to hear of how wild this stuff gets and then I'm told chicks break out into hardcore fights, biting, clawing, spitting, and hissing included. Why must Wal-Mart ruin the fun I could have? Because, Wal-Mart is hell, if you've worked there, you know.
Other news, well there's not any. Well, last night for the first time in my life I laughed so hard I shot tea out my nose, never and I mean never has that happened before. Yeah, when the Jenkins get together, all Holy Hell and fun break out and we leave only laughing corpses in our full-on, hardcore assualt.
Well as it always goes, this blog bus end. I'm off to read the new National Geographic, isn't that surprising, I read an intellegent publication, who knew. I'm hard to the core, core to the heart...jesus, I'm scaring myself. Ciao.

Bored...to say the least

2005-08-26T09:24:00.000-07:00

So here I sit in the graphic design room a hour before digital printmaking starts. Why, you may ask, well here's your answer, because those fucking pricks who live in the housing development by the campus p.d. drive from their homes to campus, a mere block or two to get closer parking spaces. So after having to park in their parking spots in the housing developments I've started getting to ASU and hour or hour and a half early so I can get a decent spot and walk. I don't care to walk, it's just the idea that people live on campus, literally two blocks from the buildings and drive to get closer to the building. It's stupid as hell, thankfully after Labor Day it's going to be illegal and tickets are supposedly going to start flying. So what else has been going on lately you ask? Well I've been back to the Haven, to resign the lease for our apartment, I was introduced to 4 new sculpture students as "J's Bitch" by none other than J himself. I've met a cool artist from Lyon college, been to IHOP a few times and diven my new car like there was no tomorrow.
So by now you're probably wondering what this blog was for, basically I dunno, but I do know I think that one dude, yeah you know him, that Timothy Charles Hose, guy...I think he's fallen off the face of the planet or well gravity let go of him and he floated up into the ozone and burst into flames. I mean honestly, where are you Tim? To post a new blog, is that too much to ask? We just want to be kept informed of your life...shit.
So yeah, that was gay and I apologize. I'm out, bitches.

"O"

2005-08-20T18:05:00.000-07:00

So shit, Thursday I went to test drive some vehicles to trade in my truck "Grendel" for and save some money on gas when school starts. Well I drove three vehicles. 1st up, a 2001 Ford Explorer. The previous owner had put something like 22" rims on this bad boy and it drove like a piece of shit on wheels...no thanks. Next, 1998 Chevy Blazer. It drove well, had duel exhaust and I could haul stuff, but I'd only be getting 8 more miles to the gallon. Lastly, a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon...a 5 speed. I've never driven a 5 speed, don't know how to...well Thursday I learned in like 20 minutes...SWEET! Friday the insurance quotes came into play. The Blazer added $7 and the Tiburon close to $20. Well with the gas money I'd save with the Tiburon ( it's gonna get somewhere between 30-40 miles to the gallon, by the calculations we all did) I can afford $20 more dollars on the insurance. So on Friday around 1pm I became the proud owner of a Tiburon, a Blood Red one at that...how fucking sweet is that. Oh and I can haul shit in it...sorta, the back seats lay down and shit on a stick I can haul some stuff back there. So I drive this thing for no reason now other than I feel cool shifting gears and all that stuff, because I've never done it before...good time.
On other business, Zach moved into the apartment today, the fuckers messed up the lease, and I got to go on Thursday to sign the lease...again...shit. Oh and school starts back on Monday, and you guys want to be back there? You fuckers leave me and now want to come back and "hang out" around the annex and shit...NO, I'll have nothing of it. You're all banned from the annex, until I graduate...and you're all kicked out of the Justice League of the Art Annex...bet you didn't even know you were members...now you know why you had weird nicknames like Cheetah Boy, Coopster, Man of God, "D" (that one not so weird, just lazy) and so on. Hope you all enjoy knowing I'm having a blast at school without, cause I won't be...I'm stuck with Lile...that guy doesn't know the meaning of fun...

Strange Happenings

2005-08-15T20:57:00.000-07:00

So today someone, I suppose some girl that dialed the wrong number calls me, well seeing a number I don't know I don't answer. When I come back to my room and look at my phone, this person has left a message, after I identify myself and knowing it's not who they're looking for. Well I listen only to be greeted by "Hey baby, I don't know you, but your voice sure is sexy". Right...my hillbilly hick voice is sexy. So I want to know, how does a normal person react, granted I'm asking you guys, most my art buds from ASU, and we all know none of us are "normal". Secondly, which one of you assholes are giving out my number weird girls that find the voice of Tribble "sexy"? If anything about me is "sexy" it sure as hell ain't my voice...maybe it is though, I don't have anything else going for me...because as well all know, no one likes a fatass...

hmm

...well Zach and myself now have an apartment in Southaven, MS...it was dirty as hell and hadn't been cleaned out yet. I did check out the Wal-Mart there, and it was actually nice...weird how you're perspective changes on a place when you start to enjoy working there. Other news, there is none, nothing happens in my life, after writing about what I wanted to do for sculpture class this semester I've almost changed my mind ot do something else, the movie is still and must, but I dunno, the torture stuff, I want to make it more personal...if that's the way to put it, wearable, that's it, wearable. Maybe display the pieces with pictures hanging behind them to shown how they're meant to be worn...yeah, I like it. Sorry I was typing and thinking, it meshed. Someone, from ASU, tell me if you think that sounds like a decent plan. Shit, there is nothing on TV and I still haven't found that Hot Rod Mag, so I can make fun of Zach for it...life sucks, kiddies, don't let anyone tell you any different...That's my Tribble-ism for the day, ciao.

Up da Date

2005-08-07T10:14:00.000-07:00

So nothing has been going on. I got sent back to the automotive department for the week, long story, don't want to relive it...it sucked. Tonight I start the 9pm-7am shift...for four days...while I'm sick...YAY. So what movies have I seen, you ask? Well I've seen the Devil's Rejects twice now...AWSOME, I've seen the Wedding Crashers twice...AWSOME. That's been about it, I did on a rare trip to Hobby Lobby see J and Less and scary thought...he reads our blogs...or at least mine...sorta cool, sorta creepy, that my advisor and main professor is keeping up with my blog. Anywho, back to Hobby Lobby. The question is why is it when I go in there, alone, I feel that I'm the only single guy in there that isn't working...cause I've looked...and I am, and why do I feel so weird about it. It's like everytime I step in there my hardcore/poser reputation with the whole death/gore/exectution art is blown to little tiny bits of dust...God...I need a hug.
So the blogs not done...what else do I have to write about...nothing...and lots of it. As impressive as it sounds...I've actually been working on projects so that I won't be as stressed this semester. What am I making? Well for one a hand-dicer, go to Steak Escape, watch them make the fries...you'll get it. Next, a torture rack...but without a table...it'll be different...hopefully good. Then a movie...if Lile will help...it's gonna be great, a movie of about 4 different torture-ous events being done to a person being interrogated or something. What sort of events? Well first I got planned for one of their eyes being scooped out with a spoon, then a scalping...that'll be fun, then the hand-dicer, so that's got to get made, then just simply shot in the head...yeah...this will god-willing be at the senior show. How great would that be? Oh and I'm redoing my tombstone to make it more Tribble appropriate. The project I've started on is one for printmaking...it's hard to describe...just know I started on it...yeah.
On a closing note, my sinuses are so stopped up and so much pressure I think my right eye is going to blow out of my socket straight across the room...the good side, I'll get to wear a patch and can be a pirate, AAAARGH, Swab tha poop-deck.

So in a fit of boredom before work, I decided to learn how to had everyone's pages to my links section. So yeah it's nothing big for you computer nerds/graphic designers, but I'm a studio artist, and let's be honest you all know me, I'm stupid and funny enough, partially retarded. That's right I'm part of God's big sense of humor, laugh it up. Ok, enough laughing! Here I am modestly proud of what I've accomplished and I'm getting laughed at. Anyway nothing exciting has been going on other than this setting my links section up, yup exciting life I lead. I did go see Wedding Crasher Saturday, good stuff. Zach be ready cause when I get to Southaven, that's what we're doing. Not to pick up chicks or anything, but to simply ruin weddings, see Lile went away to Hawaii for his so no one could do this to him...honestly where was my wedding invitation? Huh, Lile? Yeah, silence, just as I suspected, Loser. Well that's all I got. Ciao, Bitches.
