I often go back and work again on an older work, so a newer version may be created at some point.

Drawn with pencil.
Colored with Photoshop.
I believe I mostly used a mouse on this picture, since my wacom was acting up.

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an astonish

The short answer is, "Yes!" In fact, I encourage all raw vegans to eat very few to no nuts. Eating too many nuts can actually be very toxic and cause nut allergies. There are a number of things to be wary of with shelled nuts. Shelled nuts are... easy to over-eat high calorie and high fat prone to mold, which leaves behind toxins, particularly aflatoxin sometimes labelled raw, yet not actually raw often moldy without showing signs of being rancid visually stored for long periods of time and oxidized not very nutritious to begin with Several of my books limit or do not include nuts. This is because most raw recipe books have nuts in nearly every recipe. In fact, I've bought a recipe book that called for a whole cup of nuts in the majority of the recipes. Generally cashews, which you will not find raw at the grocery store. “Raw Cashews” at your local market only means “not roasted.” Cashews are boiled out of their shell. Th
