bookmark_borderOld Relics from the Past

Posted on by savethesavages

People search for old stuff from the past and since I’ve had to redo this blog a couple of times, a handful of images are missing or coming up as ‘a page not found’ url. So anyways, this is a screenshot of Mister Cartoon’s blog post from when I got tattooed by him in 2008. It was the most expensive tattoo I’ve ever gotten (2K) because well duh…it’s Mister Cartoon. IYKYK.

I gave him a composite drawing and he gave it his own interpretation. My mom’s nickname was Tita Terri or ‘Terri’ for short. “Tita” means aunt or auntie in Tagalog but we can also call any middle-aged woman “Tita” even though we’re not related.

A mood – the Gen X introvert with her moon and Pluto in Libra who loves tigers. People think I’m shy but it’s more like…I just really don’t talk that much, especially if it’s a basic ass conversation. Although I talk to myself a lot when I’m driving to stay present.

What makes me this way…is it my introversion or my planets in my 8th house?

bookmark_borderMyspace Neon Dream 2008 and Beyond

Posted on by savethesavages

In between rage cleaning the house while listening to Metallica’s Orion on repeat, I stumbled upon a gif with my custom graphics; it was a repeating background of my first tiger tattoo, a scanned drawing of my angel bunny and a rose I traced over a real photo in Photoshop that I would use for Myspace (IYKYK) back in the early 2000’s. I honestly don’t even know how I did this but of course, I animated it. I also looked through the layers and found an old screenshot and a customized contact box, lol.

Customizing my Myspace profile was how I started to learn web design; because I was so obsessed with my profile looking original, I would always tinker with the custom CSS code so I can make it look however I wanted. And then I would make a custom background and someone would steal it. Good times, lol.

I really miss blogging and reading my friends’ thoughts. I miss Roxy and the OTP crew.

bookmark_borderDrawing: Hold On To What Feels Real

Posted on by savethesavages

I’m going to keep posting my drawings, doodles, rough sketches, bubble 3d lettering and handwritten thoughts even if they’re sloppy looking and lo-fi. It’s the antidote to all this AI slop. I’m having AI fatigue tbh – although it did help me with my taxes, it still fails with other stuff. Someone compared it to like teaching a child how to do things and you have to repeat yourself with it constantly – double-checking it’s output and editing your prompt a few times. That’s definitely an accurate comparison.

Anyways, hold on to what feels real…

bookmark_borderFound: Death and Taxes

Posted on by savethesavages

Praise Jebus, I just got done doing our taxes. This year I went with FreeTaxUSA; I should’ve switched over sooner but I got comfortable doing my taxes with TurboTax since they already have my info.

Two things that are true in this world: death and taxes; you’re going to die at some point, AND you’re going to have to pay taxes for the money (income) that you make.

Some random images that I held onto regarding death & taxes. Adulting sucks sometimes; you make more money, therefore you pay more taxes. Sigh.

You might be wondering as I have been myself – why tf should we continue to pay taxes if the entire system was, is and always will be corrupt? The short answer is: for the people. The USA is on the verge of collapse due to Pluto in Aquarius but people still gotta eat and pay their bills. Not everyone has the resources to fight the system, but at the same time nothing can ever be the same either.

Just some food for thought.

bookmark_borderPhoto: High Frequency Crystal Healing

Posted on by savethesavages

Found this photo in my Crystal Healer LA archives – I setup my Seeking Divine Knowledge 2010 painting with my Aura Quartz crystal skull along with other Quartz crystals and Selenite with sprigs of rosemary.

Look upon this image and breathe and remember – all is well. You made it through another day.

May all beings be free.

bookmark_border020326 – Video of This Magical Labradorite

Posted on by savethesavages

While people bring photos of their loved ones to work, I bring my rocks lol. Everything I say sounds crazy anyways but for a Fire/Air/Air dominant person – the stones actually ground me into the present moment. They literally keep me from floating away.

Here’s a video of one of my favorite Labradorite stones. Labradorite is a stone of magic and protection, I always have a Labradorite stone in my pocket when I’m driving. According to Gemini:

The Sagittarius Connection

  • Calming the Restless Mind: Sagittarians are known for a “busy” or restless mind. Labradorite is praised for calming an overactive mind while simultaneously stimulating imagination, making it perfect for your philosophical and adventurous nature.
  • Stone of Transformation: It is frequently called the “Stone of Transformation,” which aids in self-discovery and navigating major life changes—a natural fit for the expansive energy of Sagittarius.
  • Spiritual Intuition: It is believed to help Sagittarians trust their instincts and break through limiting beliefs during their quest for truth and exploration.

Edit Thu 2/26/26: the stone is no longer for sale as it has a chip on it. Perhaps it’s meant to stay with me? It’s already been with me for more than 6 years so…
