To improve his drawing skills, CaptainPeru bought a sketch book and started drawing every day using only a pen (so that he couldn’t make any mistakes).
He has been drawing something related to his daily life every day for the last two years. Every anniversary he draws his first drawing to review his progress. The book turned two years old a couple of weeks ago.
Discipline is key to improving one’s craft.

lyrics:
what are you thinking of
what are you doing
what do you think you can do
what you are
what you do
looking out at
ripples on the dance floor
what do you mean
is what you get
did you forget to know
what the end is
to begin
clearing
looking out
at ripples on the dance floor
dream machine
did you get
everything you asked for
dream machine
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor
love’s rage
broken page
electric lights
and glass bone nights
electric lines run
through your minds
distractions with radio contraptions
pipe ashes
night glasses
tick tock
hear the wind lick
the window
ignited
you’re invited
grow wings
sprouting from the backbone
dream machine
mister jones
you don’t know what you came for
dream machine
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor
we are like those two
mirrors
steaming in the rain
we are those two
lovers
holding each other’s hands
dream
with me
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor
It’s the strobelite.

“What’s better at being a wheel than … a wheel?
“That is not a rhetorical question or a Zen kōan or the start to an awesome joke (sorry). Inventor David Patrick, an avid skateboarder, stumbled (or, you know, skated) onto a way to reinvent the wheel as something that he claims is better than the tradition cylindrical model — something faster, more stable, and more ground-gripping. Its inspiration, Patrick says, ‘came from a cube.’ He calls his creation the ‘SharkWheel,’ and he has patented the invention — and is now raising money for its production on Kickstarter. (A week into the campaign, the modified wheel has taken in almost double the amount of its original $10,000 funding goal.)”

Happy Friday! I used to be crazy about this song.
“At Disneyland, this is the exact point where miracles happen…”
“I see your 1987 Depeche Mode shirt and SIX watches, and raise you me in 1985 on a radical Haro Sport with pink Skyway mags, tubular half-shirt, bitchin’ gym shorts, and cool helmet hair.”
