Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Music or Musak?

December 27th, 2004 with 14 comments.

John Oxton ponders whether website is spelled out “website” or “web site”. I can relate, for the fact that there are a few words that perplex me as to which way they should be spelled or pronunciated. With that in mind I offer my list of odd words, pronunciations and misspellings:

Is it?

Road or Ro-ad? Chris Farley posed this question in Tommy Boy or was it Black Sheep?

Potato or Potatoe? The addition of an ‘e’ reminds me too much of toe and then I imagine potatos with toes and that’s just freaky.

Obligatory Status Update

December 14th, 2004 with 11 comments.

For those of you who read this site I’m not dead. Rather I’ve taken a brief vacation from kartooner.com to focus on college finals, work on a top-secret project with Matt and prepare for a vacation coming up in January.

A few months ago when I made the choice to go back to school, after a 3-year hiatus, I realized that it would take a great deal of patience and dedication and indeed it has. I’ve tried to divide my time between family, work, school and maintaining this site and I have to drop one of them, temporarily, in order to focus on furthering myself as an artist, student, father, husband and gamer.

Merrick’s Elephant

December 8th, 2004 with 11 comments.

Elephant Man (1980)Joseph Carey Merrick, famously known as the Elephant Man, always intrigued me after seeing the film of the same name starring Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt (as the Elephant Man). His story is one that exists without peace and begins with a tortured life through the eyes of society. The Merrick depicted in the movie while slightly skewed by Hollywood still paints an eerie portrait of a man whose only need was to be accepted in the society that shunned him.
