Her name was Gweneviere ... I didn't like it so I changed it to C'Mere (come here) She is super smart ... really ... the super smartest cat I've ever known , and she is super sweet ... really ... the super sweetest cat I've ever known

 

I addopted a sweet kitty cat ... She's about a year old here

 

I moved into the mountains

 

I haven't Blogged in nearly a year !!!

IMVU 3D Chat

OK ... I started adverising on my blog ... NOT to earn money or anything , But because because IMVU 3D chat is the funnest thing I've done in years , I feel like a teenager again ... Having a body that can do back-flips and candlestick kicks has given me new life (even if it is only vertual life)
I'm having a blast exploring new places and meeting new people. So, if you signup and want to hang out with me, just leave a message and we'll make it a date. (Jack Spratt nickname was already taken)

I hope the advertisement isn't too obnoxious

Happy Easter !!!

I know I've been terrible at keeping my blog up to date (that's old news)
Spring has finally Sprung here in Montana and I am coming out of my winter hibernation ... I'm hoping to get out and take some photos of this beautiful town (before the wildfire season bagins) We have been having wonderful weather and I feel energized ... but I'm still stuck in my winter rut , or habbit , of staying indoors and reading and keeping warm by the warm glow of the television. Well ... all is good and I'm sitting in the sunbeam shining in through the window , getting an early start on my summer tan !!!

I hope everyone has a very happy Easter !!!

Thank You !!!

I wish to thank everyone who has donated to the "Don't let Jack become a homless bum fund"
I really apreciate the help, although, I don't think there is any real threat of me becoming homeless ... The donations have helped me keep up with winter power bills and put a dent in some old medical bills ... And helped me shake-off them winter blues !!!
Thank You , Thank You , Thank You !

DeviantArt (dot) Com

I started a new thing at Deviant Art (don't know why they call it deviant) But I am posting my artwork there ... it is a lot nicer ... less cluttered ... easier to view my pictures because it is just a gallery without all this other blogging stuff ... so if you would like to look at my drawings without searching through the archives >>> http://jack-spratt.deviantart.com <<< this is the place to go !!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Boy! oh Boy!
I haven't posted anything in a long time ... Don't worry , I'm OK. Just busy,busy,busy
I did have a fairly good Holiday season, although it hasn't felt like Christmas in Montana at all !
We haven't had any snow to speek of (I think Denver is stealing it all from us) It rained all Christmas weekend and I was feeling so gloomy that I didn't even play my Christmas Music (I have over 20 Christmas CDS) But I did watch "The Snow Queen" directed by Julian Gibbs version and that was fantastic !
Anyway ... We are planning on having a cookie baking day Saturday to finish the Holidays and to make sure I have enugh goodies to munch on for the next few months, then maybe I can settle in for my winter hibernation and wait for Spring.
There are a couple more "happenings" going on , but I hate to count my chickens before they hatch ... so I'll wait ... well... one thing ... I'll be broadcating (internet radio) through Shoutcast and Jet Audio soon ... probably starting next week. I'll post a blog for more info. next week

Winter wonderland ... this is where I live ... it has been freezing cold up here for a week or longer , but I'm still getting out in it and enjoying the Holiday Season and feeling the warmth of all the Christmas lights !

Elk in the Snow ... this is a painting I did for my Sister Many years ago (Christmas 1989)

thanks for giving day

Over the river and through the woods to my mothers house I go ... All in all I had an OK holiday , I don't get along with my mother very well , But she begged me to go ... after hours of protest, I gave in and went.

The best part of the visit was that she lives up in the mountains (thick forest of pine trees) Waking up in the morning after it had snowed all night was breath-taking, I wish I had remembered my camera. It definately felt like a Holiday sitting in front of the fireplace, looking out the picture window, watching deer (a dow and 3 fawns) nibble grasses they found that wern't covered by the new snow , When I went out to the porch to smoke my stinkin' cigarettes the deer just looked at me, then kept on nibbling only a few feet away from me .. if I had some apples I'm sure they would have eaten out of my hand ... it was a perfect day to kick off the holiday season (next time I'll bring my camera)

My Boy Ben ... turned 30 THIRTY!!! the big 3-0 !!! ... golly how time flies , Happy Birthday Benji !!!

Happy Birthday Jack !!!

this really is becoming a "Birthday Blog" ... lots of Birthdays this time of year.

Well , time sure flies when you're having fun , I can't belive it has been a year since my last Birthday Pizza ... this summer went by too fast , but I did get out a lot and got a lot of excersise and a good tan !
Now I'm settleing down for winter ... I'll listen to a LOT of music and reminisce of the good ol' days, and play online spades with all my wonderful friends from all corners of the world, and hopefully meet some new ones.

It's time to turn on Led Zeppelin, light some insense, and fill up on Reese's peanut butter cups , but not ruin my appetite for pizza !

1965 Birthday ... laughing Jack ! ... smiling Jack ! ... Happy Jack ! ... Jackpot ! ... those are the nicnames I was given early in my life, I loved to laugh and I loved to be tickled ... Thank you ! to all of my friends who keep me happy and keep me laughing ... it's good medicine.

1966 Birthday ... it looks like everyone is enjoying my toys ! ... LOL ... Mom writes; The kids were all in the spirit of the party so they all drew pictures and made paper objects de'arte' and wrapped them up and gave them to Jack , Jack ooohed and aaahhed and I think Jack enjoyed them as much, if not more, then the "bought" presents. ... I think that really discribes my personality, I haven't changed much.

TRICK or TREAT ... a little something I drew for my Nephew Erin ... i guess it's kinda silly

Tired of the same old screams and moans ? ... Rockin' Rudy's is more than just a record store, it's treats for the ears ! (this one is too big for the scanner plus it blead threw the newspaper ... so I almost didn't bother posting it) this was the second advertisement I did for Rudy's . ... I bought the LED ZEPPELIN BOX SET with the money I earned !!! ... a nice treat !!!

Happy Halloween ! ... This is an old one I did for Rockin' Rudy's but couldn't remember if I had posted it yet.

MAREE !!!

Well ... I just got word that it is Maree's Birthday !!!

Maree is another WONDERFUL Australian in Melbourne. My first Aussie friend and one of my first internet friends ... She keeps me company in the wee hours of sleepless insomniatic nights ... She introduced me to the music of Alex Lloyd (thank you thank you thank you) ... She makes me laugh my fu**ing ass off ... I love her with all my heart !!!

There sure are a lot of Birthdays this time of year , I should start a "Happy Birthday" BLOG
