Thank you for taking the time to come and visit my web site. I am Jim Gleeson (no relation to Jackie).
The being said, I am a writer/artist with a definite leaning towards the bizarre, surreal, and the humorous. So, if you are looking for a web site concerning the joys of stamp collecting or watching paint dry during a marathon of the US Open on the Golf channel, you're out of luck. The two main reasons I created this site follow.
ART
This is a place where I display my creations. Though some may argue whether what I do is in fact "art." I'm not into folk art, if that's what your thinking, You won't see any tinfoil poodles on this site, or kleenex shaped as Mount Rushmore. I like to term my art as "Artoonistic." It's like a cartoon, only with a little more depth. Though some cartoonists may beg to differ.
The Art section includes designs for Greeting Cards, CD Covers, a Children's book, Buttons and Pins, Drawings, Digital Art, and finally miscellaneous art.
WRITING
Writing is a BIG part of my life as well. I graduated from college with a Bachelor's Degree in English and ever since the early days of grade school I have enjoyed the creative process of writing. Whether it is in regards to writing the "Great American Novel" to sharing my rants on how long it is polite to say "Happy New Year."
On this site there are parts of novels, a couple short stories, some poetry, and a link to my blog site. Naturally this site is always in a a state of evolution so please check back whenever you get a chance.
PERSONAL
Since this site is actually paid for and maintained by me, I have added this for those interested on the less professional side of my life.
This includes personal interests. To give you an idea, if my life were given jeopardy categories they would be as follows. The mac, science fiction, dancing, the seventies, music, books, and movies
So All right, I lied about the scanning and ice fishing bit, but you get the idea.
RESUME
This of course is where my resume is located. I have a number of different formats that it can be viewed in as well as the special seventies style for those of you employers who are looking for something a little bit different.
So please take some time, take a look around, get a feel for this place. You have just taken your very first steps into a very strange world.
There is also a chance more categories may be added as time permits so please every so often return. You are welcome to contact me at jimgleeson@mac.com or comment on my blog.
9/23/05 - My sister's birthday. Much joy and celebration, although my father has been in and out of the hospital a couple of times.
8/01/05 - This month is when I pick up the annual sci fi anthology and go into hiding.
7/4/05 - 4th of July, I remember staying home because the traffic situation down in Santa Monica was going to be nothing short of insane.
6/27/05 - It was my dad's birthday Yesterday. time really does fly.
Michael Jackson managed to get himself acquitted recently. Tom Cruise tells Matt Lauer how it is. Iwonder what kind of ascendency you get as a scientologist for marrying Katie Holmes...
Apple and Intel have teamed together. the World is ending! The sky is falling! See also the history of Apple in the past to see how this will effect it's future.
5/29/05 - Madagascar is a fun frenetic fast-paced movie. so Far though Ben Stiller is not nearly as prolific as he was last year, but he plays a pretty good anxious Lion in this newest offering from Dreamworks.
Memorial day - Been awhile since my last update. This much is true, Revenge of the Sith turned out to be about as good as expected. George Lucas now needs to turn the Star Wars visual universe over to some decent writers.
5/2/05 - Hitchikers to the Galaxy came out last Friday along with the launch of Mac Os X 10.4. If only Apple had capitalized and called it Mac OS X 10.42.
Over the weekend, a woman of Duluth, GA faked her own kidnapping to get out of marriage. The fiance' still plans on marrying her.
4/19/05 - New Pope Elected. I wonder if they call their board of electors the Papal college?
Face Lift III: No, this is nothing about Joan Rivers. This concerns another web site redesign. This is the third incarnation for those of you taking notes at home.
Soon, my whole site will look similar to this. Please direct all comments to jimgleeson@mac.com
• Less than two weeks before Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I wonder if I should pack my towel and bag of peanuts. I still think they should rename Mac OS 10.4(Tiger) Mac OS 10.42.
• Revenge of the Sith hits theaters on May 19th. to answer any question. I will not be coming in costume and I don't even own a costume.
• According to news, Macromedia has been assimilated by Adobe. This leads me to ask, will it no be called Macradobe or Adobemedia?
• As Mac OS X 10.4 approaches its release date, it is being hailed as one of the most anticipated upgrades of the Mac Software. I wonder if like Halo 2, people take off work...
