March to June 2007: I've been slacking. JUNE 27: Think Ink. Can I help you, MINE, Chest Pain, Nosferatu Fade JUNE 20: See? Alive. Flippant Oni, 'I have Crabs', Lurking Blot, I dream of Robert Smith, Dobby Needs a Sock, Widdershin Blue JUNE 13: I am ALIVE. I'm back. New art goes back to once a week, though I'm doing that less because of the hiatus and more because I realize you get more art this way. Seriously. Scroll down and prove me wrong. I dare you. Enjoy: Hold of the Moon, Spinal Phoenix, Draconian Mercenary, Believe in Dragons, Surgery Observation, Bride of Frankenstein. Oh and this: JUNE (so far): Sorry for the delays...my scanner is still busted and this is ALL I had lying around: Both of these were done for Ninja-Bunny.com. Because Guest art is always nice. More soon guys, really. (Curse you UPS, ship my gadget to me faster, damn you!) May 25th: Viewer Requests, in Ink All three of these were based off emails I got this week. They were: 'Paint me something from the Clone Wars cartoon', 'I'm pro-life. Can you do some art for me?', and 'I want to see what exploding candy would be like.' It's up to you guys to figure out which is which. In regard to Clone Wars: I've only seen one episode so what I painted may be SUPER obscure. May 23rd: I swear, I'll stop neglecting you soon. May 21th: Oh No, Emo. 'A world of Despair', Purple Invader a.k.a. 'When the Transformers movie comes out, my obsession with painting weird robots will seem so much more lame' May 17th: Howdy! May 16th: Updating it like it was 2005 Phantom Ghost of Splatterpaint, Cinders, Squid Monkey (or Squidpanzee), Dimetrodon #1 May 14th: Return to Rotoscope Mountain It was a friend's birthday last Friday, so I ended up Rotoscoping a few prints of her headshot (as in singer, not porn star) as a gift. If you're not sure what rotoscoping is, I recommend talking to Ralph Bakshi. May 11th: Doodles while Drinking with friends Try not to judge. I thought these were awesome at the time. And now? Now I think the cat is still pretty cute. The others...? Oh my. May 9th: CogFather Btw sorry about the lack of an article again this week. I'm obviously running a little behind at the moment. That's what I get for not creating a content buffer, right? You know, that buffs my contents. May 8th: Yep. That's a bit strange. Burdened Father, Puzzle Puppet War May 6th: Did You miss me? Clumsy Warrior, a repeating theme here at Head Injury Theater. (Ink/Watercolour) 'Skank of Godzilla', Mogera with her child-bearing hips (both ink/watercolour) May 3rd: More Stuff! Parasite Dine, Ebi of Kaiju-G, Hedorah Ink Blot May Day!: Random Stuff! Vertigo Priest, 'Sign I put on my door during our last party', Snail in Pastel, 'I only reproduce through Budding' April 29th: Battra, The Evil Mothra You have to love evil caterpillars from Japan. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out Godzilla Versus Mothra. You know, the one from the 90's. April 27th: Return to Canvas Creek Fun with Canvas. And acrylic. It's about time. April 26th: Thief & Bitter Bitter Smoker, 'The Sandman Steals All the Very Best Dreams' (watercolor & ink) April 24th: Fun with Ink (again) One of these paintings is not like the other. One of these paintings sucks on toast. (Acrylic, ink on blue paper, and ink/acrylic on yellow paper) April 21st: Polar Do you guys remember my card game 'Polar'? While the damn thing never got finished, this is some concept art that I finally got around to painting...for super obvious reasons if you read the blog. April 20th: Fun with Scales Charlie Brown's Dragon, Amazonian Fishslave April 18th: Rockbiter and more 'I'm a dork' art. It may be this week's banner and linked to this week's article, but I still like it. Don't worry about this. Just laugh at the idea of Rocket Snakes. April 16th: Jogger at Midnight (Ink) Saturday the 14th: Painted Dream 'Lost' I don't talk about my dreams to much. Well, actually I talk about my dreams regularly, but only to someone who's paid to listen. Don't worry about it. Last night I had a dream where the last descendant of a God that once walked the earth was the last being alive on the globe. All the Children of Cain and Abel had killed themselves off and only the remnant of a forgotten remnant was left....looking for a way to enter Oblivion. In the end he went a little crazy and created lesser beings that were his failed attempt and creating them in the image of his ancestral God-father to populate the empty cities. Of course, as only those with divine blood can destroy the truly divine, his true motive was creating children who would one day destroy him...just as he always wanted. Did I mention I have weird dreams? When I woke up, I painted him. In Pastels. Go figure. Friday the 13th: 'Because it's there.' Don't ask my why I painted a Monster Mountain for Friday the 13th. I think the last two have been overly-dedicated to Jason Voorhees and I just wanted no part of him. You know, because once you write 10,000 words on Jason you start to get a wee bit sick of him. Oh and I hope you enjoyed the holiday. I know I did. April 12th: Hey guys! How's business? (ink, Watercolor) April 10th: H0-J0-To-Ho! (It's an opera thing) April 9th: Celebrate Easter: Donnie Darko Style. 'A Donnie Darko Easter' (watercolor) April 7th: Totally forgot that it was Easter. As such, I'm reviewing 'Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter.' Because that's the kind of guy I am. Scribble Robot (ink/watercolor) April 5th: See? I am back, after all. Gausius Ink (watercolor & ink) April 4th: I'm Back! Vacation was awesome. Expect to see Vatican paintings and photos and a 'what I did on Spring Break' article. In the meantime, enjoy a ninja pirate cyborg ghost. I think. March 26th: I'm on Vacation! Sorry guys, but there's not going to be any updates until I get back on April 3rd. Enjoy yourself and play safe. Oh and here are some inkjobs I forgot to post: March 23rd: Wondering why I haven't updated? Click this: March 20th: CoV Monster Fun I always find it embarrassing whenever I doodle characters from a video game. Obviously I embarrass myself a lot, so here are some images of something I play on City of Villains whenever I get the chance: Yeah. If ONLY a videogame could let me play something that freaky. Still, Cryptic Studios did let me get pretty close: March 19th: The Alphabet of Horror 2 big art projects in 7 days time? What's going on? March 14th: Space Godzilla? After Godzilla: Final Wars, Godzilla Vs. Space Godzilla has to be my favorite Godzilla film. Anytime you have a space clone of a giant monster and a little girl who hallucinates tiny women riding around on a moth...it makes for quality cinema. (Ink/Watercolour) March 12th: It's Up! March 9th: Vermin Children (Ink, Ink/Watercolour) March 7th: Doc Monsters and Turtle Soup (The Angry Kind) If you noticed the banner this week, all I can say is that I'm in a weird mood art-wise. You were warned. March 4th: Papageno, from the Magic Flute A while back I was asked to do some costume design for The Magic Flute. While nothing ever came of it, I still like the hat I'd put on the Papageno character. I'm not exactly sure why. (Watercolor/ink) March 3rd: Jeremina? (Ink/Watercolor) March 2nd: Danger Girl and her special friend I doodle in just about every notebook I have. This is one of them that a friend forced me to ink for them. You know, in ink. Hiatus is a Terrible Word Skycloud Rider, Me & My implants, Pink Angler, Egg Fetish Budding, Smiles (again), Big Strong Hands, Gmork Love Nipples, Memories, PopeTown, Pinochio, Dak Bangla Chiroptera All images copyright 2006 Jared von Hindman. |
Being sick in college is like a never ending cycle. Once you start to think you're getting better, your body decides it actually hates you and you get sick all over again. You're still expected to go out. Apparently there's this ridiculous idea that going out will make you forget that you're sick? I'm usually sick once a year, and it's either not bad enough to take time off (I've used my sick leave ONCE in 4 years), or we have enough sick people that I'm still the healthiest available and I get a big payday for my trouble. For the reasons above, there are no benefits to me being sick.

Find home care near you or your loved one:
'Will you still need me,
will you still feed me,
when I'm sixty-four.'
The Beatles, 'When I'm 64'
Times have certainly changed since Lennon and McCartney penned and sang those words in 1967. Medical and healthcare strides are allowing people to live well into their 70's and 80's. Despite those health advances, the fact remains that caring for a spouse in need, regardless of their age, is very demanding, stressful and could threaten your own health.
The Journal of American Medical Association reports that if you are a spousal caregiver between the ages of 66 and 96, and are experiencing ongoing mental or emotional strain as a result of your caregiving duties, there's a 63% increased risk of dying over those people in the same age group who are not caring for a spouse.
As a caregiving spouse, you may begin to feel very isolated from friends and feel tremendous guilt about your own unmet needs. There can also be a sense of loss, especially if your spouse suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
So how do you know if caregiving is becoming too risky for you? Examine this list and see how many apply to you:
Hate Being Sick And Alone
- Missing or delaying your own doctor appointments
- Ignoring your own health problems or symptoms
- Not eating a healthy diet for lack of time
- Overusing tobacco and alcohol when you feel stressed
- Giving up exercise habits for lack of time
- Losing sleep
- Losing connections with friends for lack of time to socialize
- Bottling up feelings of anger and frustration and then being surprised by angry, even violent, outbursts directed at your spouse, other family members, co-workers - even strangers
- Feeling sad, down, depressed or hopeless
- Loss of energy
- Lacking interest in things that used to give you (and your spouse) pleasure
- Feeling resentful toward your spouse
- Blaming your spouse for the situation
- Feeling that people ask more of you than they should
- Feeling like caregiving has affected family relationships in a negative way
- Feeling annoyed by other family members who don't help out or who criticize your care
All caregivers who experience elevated levels of stress are at an increased risk for physical and emotional issues.
