I was lying awake late last night, pondering the meaning of existence and things like that when a really significant thought struck me. There I was, lying there, and the little voice that lives inside my brain asked me, “So, if we lived in a world in which Llamas were people and people were Llamas, would Llamas think it funny to make shirts centered around people?”
I just thought of all the outrageous possibilities that these LLamas would come up with, and how funny they might think they were. There’d be one, like Count Dracuperson and he’d look like… well, the famous literary character Dracullama, but instead of being normal and being a llama… he’d look like a person. Hence the name, Count Dracuperson.
Or designs based around religious figures, like the Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Llama… there would be a version of him that would be the Dalai Human. The Llamas would get such a kick out of that.
That was my contribution to society for today, a lot more valuable than selling video games, don’t you think? Anyway, back to the real world for me…

Brian completed the most recent request of Llama Pictures over a week ago now, and I forked out the cash for them. I’m more than happy to do that, have you seen this guys work? If not, go check out the main page - Llama People Clothing and look at our designs. This guy is a creative genius. We give him some vague ideas like, “Man, you know… a llama… and, like… you know the Da Vinci thing with the guy… and the circle? I think Dan Brown drew it. Um, can you draw that… but it’s like a llama instead…” And then he turns these embellished (is there an opposite word for embellished, I wonder?) directions into works of art. For the pure brilliance of each and every drawing he does for us, he provides a very competitive rate.
Anyway, the point I was getting at was that it’s costing me a little bit of money and quite a lot of time to get this whole Llama Clothing thing happening. I’m in a spot of trouble if it doesn’t work out for us. I’m kind of laying all my hopes and dreams on this idea, and my idea of a future free of work (I’ve calculated that I only need to sell, gee, about five hundred shirts a day to be able to retire comfortably) and travelling as I please in the vein hope that this website is a roaring success.
But come on, who can resist these llamas? Llamas are in general pretty awesome, and they have a little bit of popularity on the internet, but if you aren’t even into Llamas - these shirts just look so awesome. How can anyone not buy them? In fact, I’m expecting a bucket load of Dracullamas to arrive at my front door tomorrow.
Anyway, so now that I have a reasonable amount of Llama Pictures (though I will be ordering more and more to help expand the site as we progress through this project) I need to work hard on the site and everything that goes with it, so that I can make this go where I want it to go.
Life would be so much easier if I were a llama.
