TJI: Gatorade causes divisions in friendships.

This Just In:
Local over-weight middle aged man Eric Freeman became TO athletic after drinking an entire gallon of Gatorade. Friends playing a friendly pick-up game of flag football with Freeman said that after he scored several touchdowns, became disinterested in playing with his less athletic friends and left them to go run the stairs at the local high school stadium. Close friend and fellow teammate Jon Williams had this to say: "he just went nuts, he was running around screaming at everyone and high-5ing anyone around. Totally not like him. Then when I missed a pass he freaked out and hit me! If I knew he was going to be drinking Gatorade I probably wouldn't even have bothered coming out to play." ...Well there you have it. It seems yet another casualty of a weekend warrior ruining an otherwise friendly game of flag football between over-weight, middle aged men. And now, back to you in the studio.

There has GOT to be a better way to do that... There's probably an app
for this in the apple store... Going shopping... We'll see if I can
this working smoother later, kinda frustrating...

Quick Sketch 1

Trying something new. I'm going to take 15 minutes out of my otherwise incredibly busy day (insert sarcasm here) and doodle. Not draw, just doodle. For 15 minutes. I'll post them on here as soon as I figure out how.

desiring the acknowledgement and approval from celebs that my mother never gave me.

(jk (just kidding, for those of you new to... the INTERNET) my mother loves me. which is why my life lacks that hardcore creative edge I need to become amazing in anything)

Also: Last post I forgot to mention that it is a goal of mine to get many celebrities to write me back on twitter. (hey, I don't judge YOU on YOUR goals do I?)... anyways, I mentioned before I follow a lot of celebs (both real and internet created), and I hope to get some sort of recognition for all my hard work put into witty twitters/celeb stalking, in the form of some sort of acknowledgment.

These are internet/real life heroes of mine who have responded to me so far. Hope to add more to the list as my constant twittering continues. So, to date, these people have conversed with me:

Joey from joeyinteractive (a favorite blogger of mine who blogs about design, art, technology and other super cool stuff),

Wayne Gladstone (a writer for Cracked.com who does the awesomely funny 'Hate By Numbers' series, among other stuff)

twitter: the blog killer

I find myself less and less inclined to blog now that I have a twitter. Granted, I was not blogging a lot before, but my ratio of writing on my blog versus writing elsewhere on the internet has been influenced greatly by my constant 'twittering'. You know, many of my fans ask me all the time (well, if I HAD many fans they would ask me...) "wow, Nick, you're really, really, really, ridiculously good at twittering, I always find your posts to be enlightening/witty/sexually stimulating... but surely even you have some trouble from time to time." Well, that's partially true, my main 'difficulty' if you could even call it that, is that that I find the 140 character limit on twitter often tries to stifle my creative writing ability... an ability that often gets out of hand with flowing rhetoric and long words that no one understands... but that is the joy in twitter, that it challenged me as a writer to keep it brief and still witty... one liners often work best. So follow me on twitter and judge for yourself. After all, while twitter is fun and all, for those longer more well developed thoughts about life, love and the pursuit of financial independence... well, as that one old movie star once said in that one old movie: "We'll always have blogs."

twittering and 'The Man'

I have a twitter now.

I am currently 'following' the likes of
Stephen Colbert, Felicia Day (cute girl in Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog), Lance Armstrong, Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) and Shaq... among others.

It's pretty funny. for exaple, Barack Obama has a twitter, and whether or not its actually him or one of his lackys updating all the time. I still think its cool. (as do about 300,000 others) What makes it even more cool is that not only am I following him, but HE IS FOLLOWING ME!!! Barack Obama is following me, and is updated each time I do something... oh wait... while I think that Obama is 'the man'... he's the president of the freakin United States of America... so while he's cool, and 'the man'... he's also 'The Man'. with a capital M. like, 'The Man' is following my each and every move. and I'm what... I'm excited? wierd. being followed by 'The Man' is now cool. Ironic. Jerry Fletcher is rolling over in his grave. (that one was for you Shane Williams).

well, you should find me on twitter.

also: you can follow me on these other social stalking sites:

twitter.com/nicholasfriesen
myspace.com/nicholasfriesen
nicholasfriesen.blogspot.com
and search me on facebook too, how you ask? search nicholas friesen...

oh, and I'm working on getting pictures uploaded via my phone. I broke down and got a photobucket. photobucket AND twitter... geez, I'm such a sellout.
