"2Serpent" by Brian K Raynor

"2Serpent" was painted with some abstract meaning to it. Something to do with fear and focus, carnality and spirituality.
"Denn unser Kampf ist nicht wider Fleisch und Blut, sondern wider die Fürstentümer, wider die Gewalten, wider die Weltbeherrscher dieser Finsternis, wider die geistlichen Mächte der Bosheit in den himmlischen Örtern." Epheser 6:12

"Greased & Deceased" by Brian K. Raynor

I sold this painting, "Greased & Deceased", to John Marlow in 2007 or 2008 at the Rockabilly BBQ. John is the drummer for Jem Crossland & the Hypertonics.

To be Quite Frank,... I got nothing.

Hmm, Brilliant thoughts,...I got nothing at this moment. I suppose that means I should get out and do something. The hour may be too late for anything worth mentioning but tomorrow is another day!

Pain in the *****!!

I've had to go to a chiropractor the past 3 days. That's a $50 co-pay, per visit, with my insurance. My lower back is feeling better. It has been crippling pain the past week. Today, I was talking to the coworker who recommended the chiropractor and I told her about my co-pay (She only has a $20 co-pay) but she said the chiropractor only charges $40 per visit for people without insurance.! Why would the chiropractor allow me to pay more than necessary? I don't like forking out extra money!... because when you get right down to it I don't have EXTRA money!

"It's Better! Pure Coffee" by Brian K. Raynor

It's 26 degrees outside! How 'bout a little coffee to warm you up? I painted "It's Better! Pure Coffee" after seeing a picture like it in a book of Hatch posters that I bought in Nashville. I have always tried to keep the actual texture of my paintings smooth and posterlike. The other day I explained to someone that I have always tried to keep my artwork smooth because I'd only seen prints of paintings as a boy and for a long time I assumed the actual paintings were as smooth as a print.

Keep It UP!

USAirways flight 1549, took off from LaGuardia Airport at 3:26 p.m., bound for Charlotte, N.C. carrying 150 passengers and 5 crew members. The pilot ditched the US Airways jetliner into the Hudson River this afternoon following a run in with birds or some other UFO. That apparently knocked out the engines. Rescuers pulled all 155 people on board off & into boats as the plane sank. Thankfully no immediate reports of serious injuries.

FAA spokesperson Laura Brown said Flight 1549 had taken off from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte, North Carolina. It crashed into the river near 48th Street in midtown Manhattan.

Eyewitnesses reported the plane may have flown into a flock of Geese. My immediate thought was Terrorist Geese.

Honky Tonk Revival 2

Sat. night I went out to Puckett's for the Honky Tonk Revival 2. I got there late and missed The Defilers. The second band, Jem Crossland & the Hypertonics (less their bass player), was already 10 minutes into their set when I came in. Jem has a powerful voice but whatever new material they did - I missed. From there on out it was not Honky Tonk nor Rockabilly but Southern Rock. I endured all I could. There were some good singers/ talented musicians but they were not what I consider honky tonk. There wasn't a good crowd out for the show. Between those watching the Carolina Panther's play and those at ElvisFest I guess there just aren't enough folks to go around.

Time gets away from me. I'm so busy that absentmindedness is an everyday thing.



Since December 31st, I've had the same Birthday card sitting on my kitchen table waiting to be mailed for a January 3rd birthday .

I've been meaning to bring a notebook from the backseat of my car into the house for 2 weeks now.

I've been meaning to check my lottery numbers for days.

I know there's something else but I forget,... !!!!!
