The women go WILD for that Bravo name and Ed Wyn voice combo. Sexy ;)

Scary part is, this guy has posted a picture and it looks like Banes. (I have looked upon his true countenance and there is a definite resemblance)

But then all dark haired guys with beards tend to look alike.

sexy? "adventurer" = toking construction worker? ("Yeah, man. It looked level to me. I think"). Haha hahahaha.

Nah, blue velvet slippers with elf toes sounds much sexier.

Maybe, if I ever get back to sleep, I will dream of Canadian elves building a smoke shack.

Maybe the reason I woke at 2:30 AM after only 2 hours of sleep was precisely to find a good subject to dream about.

More genie than Elf, but close enough!

@Brav0- It's those Brazilians, they're EVERYWHERE. Why?
There's a Brazilian of 'em XD

The bizarro Bravo1102 was probably born November 2 since he lists Scorpio as his sign.

I hope everyone is having an eventful day. Yesterday while in class, the student I was working with became so upset when I corrected his work that he bit down on my left forearm and did not let go. He did not break the skin, but I poured a ton of arnica over the teeth marks to prevent bruising. The good news is that the swelling and bruised skin is less noticable this morning.

Earlier this morning, I was driving on base when I saw someone had hit a deer, I mean a doe (a female deer), before I arrived at the scene. The doe's eyes were wide open like a deer in headlights and it was in the middle of the road. It reminded me of how I was driving to work on that same road last weekend when I saw the profile of a majestic gray wolf in front of me. As I was getting ready to swerve around it, I turned on my left blinker and the wolf moved to the side and out of danger.

Considering I have used the handle over 14 years and how much questionable content there is online under that name on multiple boards; I really doubt a widower with four kids would wish to be associated with that. I am sure he'll change his handle to avoid confusion with the talentless dweeb who does all the semi pornagraphic comics and artwork.

He's trying to hook up with a nice woman. Any prospect could take one look at the art under bravo1102 or any of the threads or posts I have done and she'll run away in terror assuming this innocent construction worker is this doll loving pervert.

Perhaps who he's REALLY after… is you?
He's just too shy.
This is his secret way of trying to hook up with his fantasy lover… After all these years of loving your comics and posts on various model making boards he's finally attracted your attention with this secret message.
Will love blossom? :D

@Kawaii- I remember the song from the Sound of Music. I will always know a Doe is a female dear, Re is a drop of golden sun, Mi is a name I call myself and Far is a long, long way to run, So a needle pulling thread, La a note to follow So, Te a drink with jam and bread…

I know his type. He's merely using me to get to Banes or worse you…

It's some kind of Canadian conspiracy to destroy the Duck.

He could even have found out about the bravo bug.

Speaking of sleep, it's one of my fave things at the moment. Yesterday (Sunday night), I went to bed at about 6.30pm, and just snoozed on and off until about 7.45 am. It was glorious!
BEST way to start a Monday morning. :)

And I've completed my silk pyjamas with a pair of velvet slippers.



I'll probably need a Fez now, with a really long tassel… Maybe I'll ask Tantz to try and find me a traditional Greek style one?

That's a great idea!
But carrots would be a better colour match.

I subbed for a second grade class today and I survived. :) Now I know that first grade is not my cup of tea.

Ever had one of these weeks? Last Tuesday, I showed up for a job that someone had personally asked me to fill for them only to find it was picked up by someone else on the computer database before I arrived. I ended up throwing my arms up in the air, treating myself to my favorite pizza and then driving to the movie theater to watch the latest Michael Fassbender film solo.

I had already been booked for Thursday a few weeks out, so last night I had to turn down a job from one of my favorite teachers :(, then this morning I had to turn down a job from my good friend (who is also an intervention behavior aide) :(, and while in class, I received a message from a teacher at another school asking if I could sub in her class. My first reaction was, "Where were all these requests last Tuesday?!?"

It all worked out for the best. I have been on a constant 7-day work week schedule since last month and having a day off (albeit forced) was exactly what I needed to catch up on some much needed sleep. I think my body needed a break even though my mind was still active.

Drawing hands is pretty tough. I think I'll throw this video in. Maybe it will help both of us (I can draw hands just not very well). Yep. I watch a lot of Drawing with Jazza videos. :)

Imagine if you will that your created world is real and that your characters are real and they see you as just another person. Kind of like the movie Delirious.

But at the same time you are the guardian of your creation, protecting it from the world and characters of other creators. But what if you had come up with some innovation that another creator wanted to take for his world?

And your two worlds were about to collide? You had agreed to a crossover but you discover a plan for his characters to remove you from the picture using your innovation against you. Because the greatest innovations in these world's of imagination and creation are of course weapons…

And you have to rally your characters to fight his without them realizing what kind of world they live in and at the same time figure out who you can and can't trust. Sometimes the lines between characters and worlds can blur…

I had a dream like that. I was going to do crossover comics with someone else only to have one of my characters tell me this other author was plotting my destruction and the theft of the Robofemoids. But not just for a story. Because after all these worlds were real as much as they were our creations.

That's complex!

If I had that dream I know it'd turn out all right and I'd win.
-not because I'm conceited, that's just because that's the pattern all my dreams have if they're causing me worry, anxiety, or even terror. I just have an "auto-win" function, no mater what.
It's not even lucid dreaming, I just magically find an RPG-7 behind my couch, or put my hand in my pocket and pull out a 1911 automatic, or find a katana at my side…
If it's a bigger threat the world just changes to make it something I can more easily deal with.

A REAL bad dream for me is when I get things that I want! The "good" dreams with the sexy women, expensive cars, fame, fortune, acclaim, even good times with great friends or dead relatives- dreams where things go RIGHT 100% are the ones that leave me feeling like utter crap when I wake up because none of it was true. :(

Dreams that put you in an emotional state are hard to categorise- Usually it just involves dialogue, like an argument for example. Having a realistic argument in a dream can make me wake up feeling EXACTLY as angry as I was, and leave with that "on edge" bad mood feeling all day, as if I have to respond to some non-existent attack… It's annoying.

All too often the dream spends a lot of time setting up the problem. This one ended just as I and Belinda Brandon recognized what was going on and the conundrum we faced. And my inner voice telling me that I couldn't divulge to her that she was not a real person. Though my wife was…

Odd. This reminds me of the Joker. People say he's insane. However, I think he's not. Rather, he's very aware of what he and his world really are. He's one of the few characters I know of who breaks the fourth wall a LOT in all media he's presentv in. It also explains his behavior. He will kill anyone because of what they are… creations of some writer or artist put there to entertain their audience. And I guess in my own mind the Joker antagonizes the Batman in a misguided effort to make him realize this as well. That's my take on it.

That is a form of schizophrenia. Even Shakespeare knew it as a form of madness, hence the play within a play in Hamlet and the rarely performed prologue to Taming of the Shrew.

In my dream last night, I was a caveman type person. From a time long ago, living in a tree… I lived with two women on my tree platform, we all had dirty blonde/reddish hair and very light brown skin.

Three people in an adjacent tree dominated us, owning us like their slaves or something. One man and two women. They were bald and had bone white skin.

There was an ebony tree that we made bows and arrows from for hunting, but the wood was bone white like those people instead of black, and the wood was too hard for bows- they'd often break after the second shot.

Something happened and I rebelled against the white skinned people. I waited till the man emerged from his tree and then I shot him in the face. The arrow didn't kill him though, it just lodged in his sinus bones. He pulled it out and threw it away. I had to run because my bow had broken.

I took the women and we escaped into the jungle. I knew the man would die eventually from infection, but that could take weeks. Meanwhile I had to make another weapon…
The dream faded away before I could get one.

That's similar to the story in one of those caveman movies of the 1960s. Was it bad over exposed Koda color too? If it had been my dream there would have been three wisecracking silhouettes at the bottom of the frame. I have had dreams like that where I reduced the tension by turning into a MST3K scenario.

Ha! I think the similarity in stories is due to the absolute simplicity of the set-up. It's a very basic scenario. I'm sure in a movie version there'd be sex and hijinks as well :)
Unfortunately not in this case :( The women and I only shared captivity.

———-

A funny thing happened today that got me thinking:
I was listening to a sitcom on BBC radio 4 (over the TuneIn radio app on my phone). The BBC messed up the playback though, it was getting slightly slower and slower, just a teeny little bit at a time. I only noticed it because characters were sounding "fatter", chubbier…
As it slowed down more they started to sound obese!

I know that if you breathe in sulfur hexafluoride you get a deep voice because sound travels slower through it. So could it be that fat people (not in all cases) have slower vibrating vocal chords for some reason? Or that the sound resonates more and takes a little longer to get out because of the increased mass it travels through?

Actually some very obese people can have high pitched voices because excess weight can lengthen the vocal cords.

And then there was the study that found that mezzo sopranos weighed less that alto sopranos…

Opera singers are pretty exceptional though, definitely NOT the norm.
Shorter chords usually make for higher voices in most cases- the vast majority: hence why children and proportional dwarves (not Achondroplasiac dwarves), and just shorter people like jockeys, have higher voices.

Other factors are loose or damaged vocal chords, bone density, and things going on with the tongue, teeth, and nose…

Speaking of voices, haha, check out Alanna Ubach in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia:

OH MY GOD what a voice! LOVE it! I would love to see her as a kick arse hero in an action movie with that voice. It's amazing!
