It Starts at The End and Goes Backwards

Hello Inter-Webs

This is a relaunch of a blog I started 2+ years ago. Some of my old posts may be posted for refreshing and perusal as I am trying to play with this new platform.

This is the first of many things to come. I see this page as a repository for my thoughts and designs and artwork. Maybe occasionally a question that needs crowdsourcing to solve or ponder.

My name is Ffaelan. I am a lot of things. Mad, bad and dangerous to know? Maybe a little. But what I have is a brain that will not shut up. And in addition to side loading my thoughts to various other platforms, I hope to find a way to share my thoughts, art, and whatever else crosses my mind at any point during the day. I don't particularly care if this becomes a popular thing or not. I hope to unload the stresses I feel by not expressing myself artistically every day when I can.

Here you may find designs, artwork, or just rambling and musings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

How to Live Unhappily Ever After

Photo by Noah Silliman on Unsplash How to Live Unhappily Ever After By AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS "I just want to be happy." I can't think of another phrase capable of causing more misery and permanent unhappiness. With the possible exception of, "Honey, I'm in love with your youngest sister." In our super-positive society, we have a zero-tolerance policy for negativity. But who feels 'Great!' all the time? Yet at first glance, it seems so guileless. Children just want to be happy. So do puppies.  Happy  seems like a healthy, normal desire. Like wanting to breathe fresh air or shop only at Whole Foods. But "I just want to be happy" is a hole cut out of the floor and covered with a rug. Because once you say it, the implication is that you're not. The "I just want to be happy" bear trap is that until you define precisely, just exactly what "happy" is, you will never feel it. Whatever being happy means to you, it needs to be s...

Appreciation vs. Entitlement (Old Post from Bad Blog Site)

[I was on a bad blog site for a year and hardly anyone saw my stuff, so occasionally I will be reposting old posts that are not necessarily topical or relevant, but still interesting to me.] There is no whitewashing this. This is going to be a preachy post. But first a little backstory. I was raised, fairly well off. Not rich by any means, but we had a nice home in a nice part of a suburb. We never seemingly wanted for anything. My mother was divorced when she expected to be a stay at home mom and was thrust into the workforce. Turning my sister and me into "latchkey kids" We rode the bus or our bikes or grabbed carpools. But our mother was always struggling to give us everything she could. And we were aware of this. Many kids who lived like us had no cares at all. They fought with their parents and siblings. Begged for what they wanted and usually got it. We begged also. But we got hand me downs and some things we wanted. I think my mother knew instinctually that we woul...

That's a Damn Shame

Image
 Some time Ago I came upon this wonderful Webcomic called Fowl Language, it is a parenting comic mostly, but I find it very philosophical at the same time. It was different from many other webcomics I had read in its use of language, and comedy and anger. The artist is Brian Gordon, and it can be found at Fowl Language Comics . A few years ago I had found another comic that had the same style and irreverence. Sadly it did not stay long and it is difficult to find a true repository of the comics online.  I found out today why that is. It seems that the artist of this comic also worked for Hallmark greeting cards and the characters were created for them. There was a bit of overlap between the use in the cards and their life online, but when the artist was laid off from Hallmark, I guess the rights kind of drifted. I am not sure who owns them, but they are all over the internet in various formats.  The comic was called Chuck and Beans, and it depicted the ...
