Greetings From the Nut House.

I have a suspicion that my family and closest friends would find the name of this article to be more accurate than I would like to admit. Mrs. Nutz and I live in Utah with our dog and our cat. We've been married for almost two years now, and the animals are our only kids; so yeah, they're a little spoiled.

I'm an aspiring animator, and Mrs. Nutz is an administrative assistant. Actually we both work at the same place, and Mrs. Nutz is an assistant to our boss while I am a new peon... so now she has authority over me at work, and at home.

All kidding aside, my wife is wonderful, and with me she has to put up with a lot that makes her roll her eyes (such as this blog,) which she does with quite a bit of grace.

I admit that this is my first venture into the world of blogging, but I think that this will be a fun way for me to keep in touch with family and friends, as well as give my opinions and thoughts about random crap, and post drawings and possibly a web comic. My personal life tends to revolve around movies and all things Disney, so I'm sure that those things will be mentioned too. All in all, I just plan to have fun with this, and I hope that anyone who reads it, whether they be family and friends, or someone who stumbled along to it while googleing something crazy (like yack-butter and goat cheese flavored Pringles, or something silly like that.) will enjoy it for what it is.

So why make my webID a squirrel? Once a few years ago, I was doodling in my sketchbook, and I drew this picture of a goofy looking squirrel holdinga sign that asked "have you seen my nuts?" and I fell in love with that drawing immediately. My wife and I were dating at the time, and even she liked it, despite the innuendo joke. She liked it enough to let me cut it out in vinyl and put it on the window of HER car, and it still sits there to this day. In fact, my wife has a side-business selling vinyl home-decor, and I plan to start selling a line of vehicle decals that I create, and this squirrel will be one of them.

I guess that's all for my first post. I hope to add an update here soon, but first I should probably publish this one and welcome the world to my blog.
