Best laid plans...
Whom ever made that observation about mice and men must've known from first hand experience. Looking at all those men and mice passing him by, I guess he might've ended up in some alley at one point in his life. Did a quick Google search and it looks like some dude named Robert Burns came up with it.
People often strive for stability and equillibrium, but the funny thing is that these things occur in nature over a long period of time. What may seem like a hectic, random series of occurences often becomes a clear pattern when you step away from things. Is it better to head down a path with a clear end or go someplace unfamiliar? Over the long run everything works out. I could die in that unfamiliar path, but I would've died anyway just maybe a few decades sooner.
But regrets burn forever. Must only people with nothing to lose be the ones to try and have everything to gain? I guess it's true what people say, live each day as if it's your last.
Time makes a fool of us all, no?

*Ahem*
I'd like to introduce a new addition to my happy spicy family...a new section of links called Spicy Works. This area will house any pieces of artwork that I post here on my site.
Currently I have four links:
Boy Meets H.Girl - Some of my loyal readers will remember this as my entry in Tokyopop's Rising Star of Manga # 5 contest. It wasn't a winner in that it didn't place, but it was a winner because its the closest I've ever been in creating a comic the way I envisioned it. Hopefully, Rising Star of Manga # 6 will prove to be a more interesting ride.
Lead Character 1,2 & 3 - These three drawings are character designs of a lead character in this project I'm doing with a friend from California. We've decided to go with the third one (if anyone is curious).
Hopefully I'll post some new works in the next coming weeks.

Come Together ...Right Now...Over Me
Thanks to my buddy Tom, I finally am able to post some permanent links. You can find them on the right side, so far there's only two. But I'm sure once I'm done with this post I'll add a whole slew of random links.
I'll do my best to introduce you to any link as I add them. Let's start with the two I have now:
Trebsworld - That blog belongs to my buddy Tom. Really cool guy (talented too) and he actually puts photos in his posts. *jealous* We used to work together and I still miss his random appearances (he was a part-timer so I never could get used to when he'd pop in, morning, afternoon...). We worked on a little animation thing once, I did the character designs. Hmm...I wonder if he'd let me post it here.
Elise in Paris - That's my friend in Paris who I mentioned previously. Elise and I were friends while she was in NY. Her blog just started so give her some time before it gets as entertaining as my rocking blog (that was a joke). In the meantime you can take a look at her Halloween picture she has posted there. (She went as E-Lo...get it J-Lo...so if you're wondering if that's her real butt in the photo...well I don't know. You'll have to ask her *if it is, good job Elise haha*)
Well that's the introduction of the new links in my Spicy little world.

I Like Chocolate Milk...
It's true too, I love it. I'm 27 and I still drink it when I get a chance. Although I have been drinking chocolate soy milk recently. Now now, don't cringe. The stuff taste like chocolate ice cream.
Anywho...I've been contributing more often to the manga message board I mentioned a few months ago. It feels good giving my thoughts on people's drawings and my suggestions on how to do things. I'm by no means an expert, not even published yet, but it makes me feel like my practices have some merit. Plus the message board has taught me a lot too, a lot of talented talented people on there.
Man I need to get more photos on this blog...

Le déjeuner épicé
Nothing much to write about today, although I did find out a friend of mine has started her own blog. She recently moved to France where apparently Asian cuties are hot commodities.
I just left her an encouraging reply to her first blog post, so I guess I shouldn't forget about my own website. Once I figure out how to make a link on this thing I'll post a link to her blog.

I Sing the Body Electric...
The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated...'cause nobody is actually talking about this place. Haha...
Who cares, right? Well I think I'm coming back to post now. For my faithful 3 fans, new Spicy Ramblings are here. I might even do a podcast! (of course, that's until I actually hear my voice and be all like "ewww")
