Yesterday was....interesting. This artist I gave a partial payment to so he could start on some artwork apparently tried to scam me. We connected via facebook. I'd been waiting a few days to hear back from dude with at least a few sketches but he'd already either blocked me or deactivated his account. I couldn't even find our conversation. Its pretty insane that people out there like to prey on others like parasites instead of making an honest living. Its only $50 but still. I gotta wait around 10 days (customer service told me) until I can recieve a refund. Thankfully another artist is nearing completion of some artwork for me. Paypal isn't like banks because if it had been a bank transaction (as I learned from Sir Dan) I'd be shit out of luck. That fateful encounter from years ago cost me like a thousand bucks dude still has made no attempt to reimburse me for. I've been ripped off over the years quite a few times. Luckily technology is making it harder and harder for people to get away with this shit. People are slick and its amazing how far some will go just because they know they can get away with something. A certain co-worker who tried to get me in trouble recently comes to mind. But anyway....back to more pleasant things....like my trip and Disney adventure with Joshuazilla my crazy yet violently brilliant little brother.
There were plenty of people there in the park but it wasn't really crowded. It did get kinda crowded later. So we didn't have to wait in any long lines when it was time to get our grub on. I'm not gonna count the neat little gummy candy we got in the Japanese area.
I was shocked at how expensive everything was. But since I was on vacation I just didn't worry about it. We decided on an interesting looking establishment that featured a wide assortment of dishes. Come to think of it I'm not even sure exactly what area of the park it was located. I got this really delicious fish thingie and Joshuazilla got some strange looking artery (probably) clogging dish.
My fish was incredibly delicious but the portion was pretty damn small. It also cost $50.00. Not sure how much Joshuazilla's food was. I barely glanced at the bill. So you now know where my tax return disappeared to. Still its good to treat oneself once in awhile. We're not here just to pay bills after all. So I won't complain. After we ate Joshuazilla bought himself one of those flickering light saber things and was able to convince him to go with me to check out a concert. The concert turned out to be pretty impressive because this one dude could sing his ass off. The lady was good too but THIS guy....he was something else. In fact I need to go online see what else he's done. He did say he worked on some pretty big plays. He and the lady. I tried to take as many photos as possible along with videos. I will post some here if I can. Most of the concert photos came out wonky but the videos are great. My little cannon camera and ipod touch are awesome little machines.
Oh yeah I wanted to share this before I forget....!
Mommas banana pudding (Her best yet!)

Mommas banana pudding (Her best yet!)
I got mommy to make me a big banane pudding. Now that I think about it I should have brought some home with me on the plane but I wasn't sure it would be allowed since after those fucking terrorists in 911 security at airports has become a pain. Yeah I know its necessary but man is it irritating. I hate having to take my belt off and my shoes. I hate having to put my shit in those nasty ass trays too. I was sooooo happy coming back from Florida when they let us skip that hassle and instead let a security dog scrutinize us instead at the airport. Maybe it was because of the long line or perhaps they are trying something new at the airports. I love animals but I don't think I have ever been so happy to see a dog! I'm sure the other people in line with me felt the same way.
I love that you can drag and drop photos now just about anywhere! Imagine how easy this would have made all our lives if we had this technology waaaay back in the early 2000's.
