Daily Confession:
I secretly liked the Backstreet Boys when I was in highschool.
I'm Stray, or Jeff if you want to get familiar. I'm an artist, music maker, aspiring writer, goofball, geek, nerd, and dork. I design graphics for t-shirts for money.
This blog is mainly for my own artwork. I also make daily confessions and daily music posts. Art posted in my blog is mine unless otherwise noted.Other places you can find me on the internet:

I’m going to get off the internet right now so I can avoid hearing about what’s going on in Japan. Not because I don’t care, but because I hate feeling so sad and helpless.
I don’t care how cool it is to not like him, I think Dane Cook is pretty hilarious.
Whenever I talk to ex-girlfriends, if they ask if I’m seeing someone I always say yes, whether I am or not.
I’ve been hit on by gay gentlemen so often that sometimes I almost wish that I were one myself. I’d apparently have much better luck with the same sex then I currently do with the opposite. *sigh* but alas… I love dem boobies ya’ll! Tis my curse.
9 times out of 10 I have no idea who I’m talking to on AIM. I don’t get on it often, so I forget which names belong to who. Instead of being a normal person and asking, I’ll just keep talking to them trying to figure out the clues from context in my mind. My inner monologue is like “Okay… they addressed me as Jeff instead of ‘thestray’, so it might be someone from real life… they’re saying they just need someone to talk to… is this my ex girlfriend? I TOLD her never to talk to me again! …wait no, they made reference to something I said on facebook, which she doesn’t have access to… so this is someone I know on facebook… girl’s usually call me Jeffy, so this might be a guy… this person seems to have a lot of problems… what dude do I know that’s comfortable talking about their problems?… “
I usually never figure it out.
I’ll often tell my friends things like “Dude, just talk to her, what do you have to lose?” and they’re like “Yeah, you’re right, thanks man.” and they do it, and then success, and I’m like “See? Toldja :)”
…but when I’m in the same situation I’m like “Ah, what would even be the point of talking to that extremely attractive girl? I’m not in the mood to fail miserably at something right now. Besides… (insert numerous excuses).”
Today I’ll let Gar confess on my behalf

Every now and then I look at my ex’s twitter account, just to see how she’s doing, even though I told her to never speak to me again, haha. Long story.
I’ve never fully watched A Clockwork Orange. I started watching it, but when they start raping that woman in front of her husband I was like “What the fuck am I watching?” and turned it off.
People keep telling me I need to watch it, so I suppose I’ll give it another try some day.
Also, 200th post… coo.
I really love animals, so when I was younger I tried to go vegetarian (and eventually transition into vegan). When I realized all the things I’d never eat again though (practically ALL of my favorite foods), I decided I love eating animals more than I love animals. Sorry animals :(
When you think about it though… it can’t be a coincidence that burnt pig flesh is like one of the most delicious things of all time. Can it?
Even though I’m born and raised in southern California, I’m not that into the beach. I usually tell people it’s because I can’t swim so it’s kinda pointless, and I also hate getting sand in every crevice of my body, and those reasons indeed factor into it, but being honest… I’d probably dig the beach despite that, if I felt like I looked okay with my shirt off.
I try not to watch the news because sometimes it just makes me too depressed. Anytime I hear about someone getting killed or raped, especially if they’re really young, and extra especially when they get their tearful relatives on camera, man… it’s just way too hard to watch that and not feel a little bit of their pain. I’ve definitely cried watching the news.
After a discussion about dating site commercials with a friend, out of curiosity I decided to sign up for eHarmony since they were having like some free trial month thingy. After answering a bajillion questions in their compatibility questionnaire thingamabob, the site… rejected me, saying I’m not compatible with anyone in their database, not one single lady out of the who knows how many ladies that are on that site, haha. I found this simultaneously hilarious and depressing.
edit: But more hilarious really, so no worries. In my defense I think that site has a bias against people that aren’t necessarily looking for “the one”.
