So, if you’re wondering where the heck I came up with the last post (in reference to Dashing Combover), it’s from my silly childhood.  My grandma had this lhasa apso that had really fluffy ears that I would push to one side and it looked just like a combover!  I’ve been looking for images of people doing this to other dogs, but no one did it.  Naturally I had to sculpt it…

I was also made fun of for having a part in my hair for years.  Some jerks in school said I had a combover. lol

I’m saddened today that my dad had to go to the hospital.  He got injured while he was serving at the local prison (he’s a chaplain), and so it’s been a bit stressful around here.  He seems to be doing well, but I really was drained after visiting him at the hospital.

The strange thing was that at the same time that he fell and hit his head, I developed a strong headache, and later on experienced dizziness.  A few of my friends say I’m really conscious of things around me, so I don’t know if that had something to do with it.  I hope he’s feeling better…he’s supposed to come home tomorrow.

In any sense, I’ll be taking a couple days off to re-coop my mind.  It takes a tole on your head.  The sculpture I was working on today…I don’t see myself finishing.  I’ll probably scrap it.

My brother was mentioning to me the other day how all of my videos were loaded with super nice, positive comments.  Pretty much everywhere you go - YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, etc - it’s all positive.  There isn’t a single thumbs-down on my clay work of 2012 (aside from one of my friends that did it because I told him to).  So, how the heck did that ever happen?  How did I ever get such a nice following?

I’m not exactly sure to be honest, but I believe it’s because I’ve ignored the trolls and made good relationships with all the viewers that I possibly could.  In any sense, I just wanted to mention how happy it makes me to hear from you guys! 

It’s not all been positive though, there was something like 30 people that unsubscribed on YouTube, but as I said before, they were probably all the ones that were negative.  Who cares, because 70 people that were positive started following 365 Days of Sculpture.

Accentuate the positive :)
