Write your own obituary
I like to use obituaries in my collage work, and ask people to save them for me. A friend sent me some from Arizona, but I can’t cut this one up… this one’s a keeper. Mr. Parker must have been a real character.
FLOYD CORNELL PARKER
January 5, 1932 to June 20, 2022
It pains me to admit it, but apparently, I have passed away. Everyone told me it would happen one day but that's simply not something I wanted to hear, much less experience.
When composing my obituary, I decided to not include the usual stuff like where I was born, where I was educated, what I did to earn a living, whom I wedded and the names of my offspring. You're probably anxious to flip over to the Public Notices pages to find out if anybody you know has advertised that he or she will no longer be responsible for his or her recently estranged spouse's debts, so I figured you'd want to skip over all that personal minutiae.
I told my kids I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent upon some machine and fluids from a bottle. They promised to unplug my computer and throw out my wine. There will be no memorial service since I couldn't find a picture of me holding a bean burrito in one hand and my fingers curled around a cold bottle of Mexican beer in the other hand so I'd look natural.
Finally, since I've departed this Vale of Tears, I'd just like it said, "He was a good man as good men go, and as good men go … he went." I don't think that's asking too much.

Now presenting an AU I’ve been working on for the past 6 months:
Newsies: Madness Returns
If anyone wants more info, just put it in my ask box!!
The prologue has also been written and will be posted shortly.
Summary:
While hearing about the new price of papes from his peers, Jack proceeds to faint in the distribution center after exponentially becoming more dizzy and confused throughout the morning. The other newsies assume it’s due to the heat or sickness, but to Jack, it feels like he’s falling down a rabbit hole. He now must explore Wonderland and find out why exactly he’s there and how he must get out.

Day 15: Bounce Shroom from Alice: The Madness Returns
This game is a time capsule for the 2010s goth era, and I adore it. Spooky, challenging, beautifully animated, and scratches the itch for dark fantasy a la wonderland. So here's to the mushroom that launches you out of/into harms way.

Who am I to spout about life, love, happiness? About whether all’s right with the world, or whether it’s just a vale of tears... I think it’s unbelievable, fabulous, this life of ours…everything, the birds and the bees, the deer and the antelope, the spacious skies, the foggy dew, the rockabye babies… My wife’s embrace, a landing on the moon, space, time, eternity. I don’t understand one damn thing about any of it, except that it’s enough to keep me in a constant delirium of delight, surprise, enthusiasm, despair, enough to keep me roaming, stumbling, faltering, cursing, adoring, hating the destruction, the violence in myself and others.

I know I can't come here after months to drop a drawing and disappear again, but i'll do it.
"Give up, Hatter. I'll take Queensland and soon all Wonderland will be mine. And our Jay here... Will be my Queen."

Vale of Tears – Oxymora I. EP és Antibiosis videoklip megjelenés
Vale of Tears – Oxymora I. EP és Antibiosis videoklip megjelenés - https://metalindex.hu/2023/12/09/vale-of-tears-oxymora-i-ep-es-antibiosis-videoklip-megjelenes/ -
Az Oxymora I. egy három számos EP, amelynek stúdio munkálatait Horváth István (Blind Myself, Archaic) mentorálásával 2023 nyarára fejeztük be. István készítette el a végső master-t és a keverésben is kulcsszerepe volt. A borítót ismét Havancsák Gyula készítette, zseniálisan visszaadva az új dalok dühös, ambivalens hangulatát.
