evening tea

Life is easy lately. And I maintain that it stays easy as long as I'm open to living it. It seems like every whim I follow through with leads to interesting/awesome opportunities. That openness--that's the key. Maybe I'm a romantic at heart and this is the spring talking through me, but I've never felt more in control and at peace with my life than right now (and I've been saying that for the past fourteen nights).

I printed my bear comic as Evening Comics and sold it at the Cathedral Village Arts Festival with my brother under the name Dentist Brothers. We pushed an old pram filled with our comics through the crowds at the street festival and had fair reception. As part of printing this comic, I wanted to include a website link for myself for networking/fun, so I have a website now. It's still in it's beta really and incomplete, but the bones are there and it's nice just to have something up. Check it out if you care to and send me any thoughts/feedback: www.jonahmcfadzean.com.

I read somewhere that in this technological world, it's important to protect your identity by registering websites and at social sites and stuff. It makes sense to have my name as my URL, but it still seems a bit weird to be a dot com now.

I've been trying to be more outgoing and social in the real world as well (part of my 'be open to life' philosophy) and it's been making good. My time has been spent solidly with good friends, old friends, and new friends, and my regular social anxieties are under control for a change. I'm operating under the idea that I should only be doing things that I want to do/have fun doing. And honestly, I've been happier and much more responsible.
