Such a long day that I will have to do a double sketch tomorrow. And one will be a hand drawn one done while I'm at work.
Some people really are just stupid. If you cant back up with a trailer then why are you driving with one and if you can't read signs placed ON the road, then you shouldn't be driving or be heading to the eye doctors.
Today wasn't busy for me, but stupid people in big trucks thinking they can cut in front of big machinery were still out there. Think people!
Anyways off to bed. Goodnight world. Love ya <3 expect a better post tomorrow!
A sketch a day blog about self-improvement, reliability, control and determination.

Sketch 66 - Butterfly
Back to work with the county. I do really enjoy that job. Especially now that most of the irate drivers have been told off from last week and everyone today was quite nice and understanding about the work we were doing. At least on my side it was. I remember how bad it was at the intersection last week. Holy man. Anyways during the times there was no one around because we were working on a road out in the middle of no-where, I found an amazing looking butterfly that was having troubles flying in the wind on the open roads. I managed to hold it and bring it to the long grass where it got its bearings and flew off. Below is a picture of it, mind you mine had a bright red dot on the middle of the bottom part of the tails. It is a Giant Swallowtail Butterfly or an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.
Anyways it was a good day and I'm happy to be back to work at this job. Anyways I need a shower from the wind giving me a dirt tan. Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 65 - Long Day
Blast from the past. This is a character design that no one has seen on the internet before so here you go. Work was everything today from bored out of my mind, to pleasant, bad weather, angry drivers, really pissed off drivers to the point of driving past me and racing through a construction zone.
Very tired. So I will post this treat for you . I think I drew it back in 2007? Was gonna be for Pyowaan but not sure any more. See you all tomorrow!
Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 64 - hello
My new/old hairstyle. Went back to this style. Wanted something quick tonight but ended spending more time on this then I had planned for. For Those wondering its Purtalic written in katakana (Japanese), then Tamakai in kanji (Japanese), my English name and then my English name in Korean.
Work today was short due to the rain. Spent a good portion of the morning playing fetch with a black Labrador that decided it was gonna be my friend. It also showed me how STUPID people can really be. We have construction ahead signs and detour signs everywhere and they drive up to me "whats going on?" "ummm . . . road construction . . . . need you to turn around and take the detour" like seriously . . . . I get a whole summer of that and "Why are you doing this road? I NEED to get to this place. Its an emergency (like registration at rabbit hill...)" oh well! Pay is great! 22 hours and its the same paycheck I got working 2 weeks at the bingo hall <3
Anyways bed time! Goodnight world. Love ya <3

Sketch 61 - nerimon
So nerimon a.k.a. Alex Day is Charlies flat mate. He is a funny sod and quite worth the watch and sub! Honestly I prefer Alex's singing compared to Charlie's better, but I do prefer Charlie's videos. Both are musicians and very funny. Although he might think he is going to be selling out by reading more of the twilight series, I think its not a sell out. A lot of his fans aren't twilight fans and loved watching him read and tear it apart. It was an interesting take on the book from a male-nonfan. I would be delighted if he started to read new moon. And so would a lot of his viewers. Oh well, either way I will continue to support him!
So not much to say for today. Did dishes and laundry and that's about it . . . lol. Dishes took about 5 hours to complete which is why I am now on the hunt for a cheap or free dishwasher so I can stop being one lol. My hands are so sore from all the soap, hot water and scrubbing. Anyways I'm off to enjoy the rest of my night relaxing. Tomorrow will be another Canadian vlogger who reviews obscure current events.
Goodnight world! Love ya <3

One Week Sketch Hiatus
I am really sorry to do this. My new job is draining me of all my energy. My crew says it will take about a week to get used to the work. So I will post written updates for a week and continue with the sketches next Monday. Again I am really sorry! Please be patient with me. Once I get going with this job I will be able to afford to make this blog a bit more interesting!
Sooooo. I have been having a wonderful first couple of days. Monica and Margaret are so awesome to work with and I'm slowly getting to know the rest of the crew. Everyone is so down-to-earth and friendly like they ahve known each other since high school but only just met. It's a wonderful work environment where people can be themselves without having to try so hard to fit in.
In my construction crew Margaret and I are Flaggers. We are the people who stand with the stop/slow signs and guide people through the construction zones. Monica is a Packer, she runs the machinery that packs the soil to later be paved for the new roads and or fixing of the roads. However, the contruction season doesn't start till after the long weekend so we are cleaning up Nisku with garbage pick-up duty. Let me tell you, it's not an amazingly easy or fun job but working with Monica and Margaret makes the time go by fast and fairly fun.
Haha today we did alot of ditches with waters drains and tons of mud. Several times both of us nearly fell face first into the mud after slipping it in. Poor Monica drenched her foot thinking a patch of rocky soil looked solid and sank down to the middle of her calf! We both had a good laugh.
Anyways time for some relaxing while I eat and then making my food for tomorrow! Goodnight world, love ya <3
