Day 17 or looking for the good in the ugly out there

We had a family counsel tonight and we usually make them into craft nights to keep the kids engaged. A lot of great things coming out of this family, I tell ya! I made a Bomberman 64.

Day 15 of finding happiness in the sewers

Not only did my wife make a killer loaf of banana bread, but my family discovered that 90's solid-gold animated series Freakazoid is available in its entirely on the Internet Archive.

It's a great day. Hugbees to you all

Day 14 (two weeks!) of finding the good in the awful horrid that is the present

My second oldest daughter (Lyla) has been drawing Duck from Sarah and Duck a lot recently. She wanted to make a piece good enough that I would hang it on my art wall. Folks, it's better than I ever could have hoped.

Day 13 (a day late) of finding good in the garbage.

Every system went south at work today, so instead of screaming at the world and giving up we huddle up, taught a new skill and ended the day listening to good music and relaxing. Also, I got to warm my wife up when she was freezing. Hooray!

Day 12 of finding the good in the garbage (to better preserve my sanity)

Found out that my co-trainer at work's husband found out that he is cancer free after 1 year of recovery on a brain tumor he had. It's excellent to see friends have good times in a sad world.

Day 11 of finding the good in the suckfest

It was a sick day, but it involved so many naps and lounging that it was a win altogether. It's hard to complain on a lazy day like this. I also go to hang out with my siblings while we played Mario Party online. It's a good day.

Day 10 of finding anything, just ANYTHING to bring hope in a terrible time

My parents offered to take my kids to see some snow sculptures in a city near us. I'm glad they got to go (the alternative was staying home and cleaning, go figure), because my wife is sick and could use a quiet house.

Day 9 of finding hope in a progressively angrier time

Yesterday, a group of trainees in my class were belittled by a person assigned to coach them. Events were brought to the attention of management, and they were handled professionally and swiftly. It's nice when your boss gives a care.

I want to make more pixel art, but I made this for my card game, Justice Fighters. This was for the card "No! None of that! Shame on you!". It was a lot of fun to take hand drawn art and pixellate it. Expect more of this in the future!

Day 8 of finding hope while my country proceeds to make an idiot of itself

I got to attend a graduation ceremony for a training class that I subbed for in November. The agents there not only were excited to see me, but also expressed how much I helped in their growth. It feels good to be loved.

Day 7 of finding any small shred of happiness in a weary world.

My trainees took calls all day and not a single one of them choked. It feels good seeing good hard working folks reap the rewards they deserve.

Also, Reese's Mini-hearts were in stock. Double win.

Day 6 of finding the good in an oppressive world.
Two of the agents in the class I'm training took the leap and took live calls ! They also succeeded in their efforts and are all the more prepared for taking calls all day tomorrow!

Day 5 of finding something positive in the oppressive world we live in.

Today is a two-fer. My nephew started a hangout channel on YouTube and it's cool to see him being happy. Secondly, I posted my Paper Mario Shadow box to Reddit and it's blowing up. It's a good day.

Working on my card game is nice because I can redo old art that kind of sucked when I originally made it. Making art rules. #art #JusticeFighters #HandmadeHumanSlop

Day 4 of finding some good in this oppressive world.

We were invited to dinner by some family friends. Unfortunately, it got cancelled due to some family emergencies on their end. But I got to commiserate with them and help them not feel so alone with kid troubles. It's a win and I'll take it.

James and Andy are some of my favorite people. You should hear them talk about their best-of's for the year. Seriously. It's a good time!
Today is THE DAY!

It's the Gateway2Drillbit Game of the Year Show!
In addition to our ReviewMo'

Day 3 of finding something positive in an oppressive world

I had to get new tires today, and I found out that Amazon has been consistently increasing our credit limit. Yeah, it's expensive and I hate it, but at least I didn't bankrupt myself getting new tires. It's a win.

Day 2 of finding the light in an oppressive world
I introduced my training class at my job to Silvagunner. Hearing people you didn't know last month say "Hey, this is awesome" makes the day feel better.

Here's Spider Dance, but it's actually Istanbul.

Day 1 of finding some bit of light in an oppressive world:

I got to talk to my best friend from high school and laugh about being old. He's gonna send me his cards from the game we made back then too. It feels good to remind me of good times and to smile again.

Man, making art is fun because it rules. I'm having a lot of fun with all this. #JusticeFighters #Art
