In the event that my health does return I will be making my much talked about move to California before spring, having already begun planning (trying to be optimistic), so mayhaps I shall meet some of you in person even though my presence at Threadless will be greatly diminished. I'll try to stop in and say hi and check the blogs from time to time, but right now im just focusing on regaining my health, and the 30lbs (as of today) I lost.

Thanks to all the nice thoughts and warm wishes from everyone, and I wish you all the best in the months to come.]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:45:29 -0600
I love Threadless, warts and all, but by this time tomorrow I will most likely be admitted into the Hospital until the Doctors can figure out whats wrong with me. Whatever started my problems may have been small, but it has taken a severe toll on my health, both mentally and physically, and now it's me that is small and frail. Today, after a series of unfortunate events, I came to the realization that if my condition is in fact small and curable, that sitting at my computer drawing pictures in a corner office, like I have for the past 6 years, may not be what I want to return to.

I put everything on hold to pursue the arts, and in the process cut myself off from so many other fulfilling opportunities. If I live to see my health restored, and I fully intend to in case anyone is wondering, I feel there is more life worth living, and that perhaps for once I put my happiness above my passion, my present above my future dreams.

Anyway, in the event that I do not return to Threadless, I felt it was best I said goodbye, because the one thing the internet still isn't very good at is letting people know why or where to someone has disappeared. Thank you all for the support, and criticism that helped me grow. Thank you for the jobs, and the techniques, and the files and collaborations and colleagues I have gotten. Thank you for the spirited debates on the serious and the insignificant. Thank you for not always agreeing with me, but always tolerating me. Oh, and thanks for all the fish.

I'll always have Threadless in my heart, my mind, and in my ads on every website I visit. Goodbye.]]> Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:31:59 -0600
So after 11 months of random guesses and things that didn't pan out from doctors, I came up with my own diagnosis for a rare condition, and the doctors were convinced enough that they wanted me tested for it....

...apparently, however, the mayo clinic (the test was outsourced) accidentally tested for the wrong genetic mutation...and found a genetic mutation....WTF?!

Apparently, and this isn't the whole problem, I can't absorb folic acid (an essential amino acid), but it's most likely only a condition that is exacerbating whatever is currently wrong.. or the other way around

Anyway, in the Shakespearean tragi-comedy that is my life, I found this a funny thing to share, and since I have been out of work for a couple months due to sickness (no randyotter, no new bills to pay...wrong tests are free!), its pretty much all I have to share.

Hope everyone had an awesome holiday or holidays, or 8 days of one holiday, and so on and so forth.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:57:22 -0600
