About this blog

Titanium was created to deal with the isolation of my cancer and my depression that came from my cancer. I'm a two-time survivor of bladder cancer. I was told that my chances of survival were low and that the cancer might metastasize and end my story. Knowing I was facing chemotherapy, I was looking for ways to keep my spirit up, as I was sick for so long and alone. I became talented at creating this character and the smiles that came with it.

Time to head back.

Today we are checking out of our RV space and heading back home with our cache of goodies we picked while in town. This has been a wonderful experience and teaching both of us what we need to travel on the road to see some of you. For a bench test I think we can get started traveling state to stay soon. As for makeup artistry wife and I enjoyed all the great comments as we been in town. Been nice for both us to escape the mess at home and take a break away from problems, phones, projects, etc.

Frustrated...

People tend to forget what has happened to me. Let me update you on a frustration I had to deal with. First of all, dealing with medical insurance companies is a PITA. I lost my insurance for a short time, which now locked up all my medical treatment, testing, etc til lthis was sorted out. This includes my ostomy bags, too, which I was running out. Calling insurance handlers (subcontracted) to get information straightened out so I could get supplies. This last Sunday, my night bag fell apart rig

Titanium Not Going To Forced

This post is going to get political. There is a small group of Goth/Emo/Alt people claiming that if you want to be part of the group, you have to vote democratic. As for me, I started my Goth/Emo/Alt journey into makeup artistry with my bladder cancer. Then I started to catch flak for posting my Goth/Emo/Alt photos on coments ot artist I liked. One person told me if I don't vote democratic then I'm just a poser. Me. I had to create another photo shoot for new photos to handle the punk kids who a

Goth/Emo/Alt rules...

I've now seen it all. There is a younger group of people in the Goth community saying you have to be of "democratic aligned" to be Goth/Emo/Alt. I will be the first to say "No!!!" I will NOT support democrat values, being that I'm number one, I'm an American Citizen, and watching my tax dollars go for Ukraine, Minnesota fraud, USAID fraud, the list goes on and on. How about Social Security? Yeah, I'm now disabled, but why are there so many illegal aliens on Social Security in Minnesota? Never co

Trying to keep Thor and Beast running!

Beast has developed a problem with the hydrobooster being the main booster piston; the seal failed, and even brake pedal usage was leaking hydraulic fluid from the hydrobooster. There is a bleed hole on the bottom of the unit. This was just replaced, as the article was created in the 2nd Gen brake and axle category. That particular day, I was wearing my black hair and basic black makeup. Then on Thor, it was a matter of replacing the battery terminals. Using the really basic tools I do have a

Titanium caught by another TikTok in Ontario, OR

The gentleman who made the video of me. I'll just call him by his handle Genetix. He confronted me on the streets of Ontario, OR, as my wife was shopping for jewelry supplies in a small shop. I was in the middle ofa phone call and ended my phone call to see what this gentleman wanted to know about me. Genetix wanted to understand why the appearance and what my story was about. So, for those that have not heard the story of my cancer, here you go. Video form on TikTok. I have to say this gentlema

Titanium aka Mopar1973Man one and the same

You might have all seen the change in my avatar to red hair. I've now past 2 years of daily makeup work when I leave the house. People still have issues understanding why? Do you all understand I've been a greasy mechanic since I was 14 years old? Yup, my life began with a desire to acquire tools and fix things as early as 14. So, for my life to change while having bladder cancer, I couldn't return to working on trucks in a commercial capacity. Even today, it pulls me down when I see a problem w

Christmas Holiday Blues / Happy Birthday Titanium

A lot of you don't understand why the makeup. I'll admit I fell apart last night; it's Christmas / New Year's again. Both of my bladder cancers came for Christmas. What most people don't get is the fact that what I love to do is out of my reach. Let's roll back the clock and understand that as a kid at the 14 years old I was gifted a socket set (Craftsman) and fell in love with mechanical things. I was building go-karts and mini-bikes with friends. I was fixing lawn mowers and small single-cylin

Makeup artistry

Now, to speak up on another fact. Just because I've changed my appearance with makeup and hair, it typically doesn't make me less knowledgeable. My typical day is that if I'm planning on going to town, I'll always do my makeup work before I leave. I was referred by a local repair shop in McCall (Sharlies Auto Repair) to a Cummins owner for tuning his Quadzilla. Even on a day like that, I was dressed up and rolled to this client's house to chat with him about tuning and getting his truck ready fo

Titanium Live on TikTok

Today I was stuck inside the house being its raining here in Idaho. While the mornings are cold here, I was checking back on a few videos near Christmas time. Sadly, I saw a few artists who were having a rough start to getting the Goth/Emo/Alt makeup. Either being laughed at or just treated poorly by people on the streets or at school. I'm going on 3 years of makeup artistry that I've self-taught. @Tweety Bird asked me to get the new weather station set up and working. I needed a 4x4x12 to get i

Fire in the Eyes

This is one of my first attempts at blending many colors evenly. This case told me she was going to wear green. Christmas colors, so I went to the wild side and took the fire-red wig and makeup to boot. I've been watching several makeup artists explain how they blend colors. Now, I'm combining the artwork I currently do with the tapered color down each side of my nose and outward toward the outside of my eyebrows. Since getting her eye surgery and correcting her vision, that is a huge blessing a

Titanium story continues

Titanium's story continues in public. I've got followers all over the place. At Starbucks coffee in McCall, the two gals who work there started to ask questions about my appearance with my colored wigs and makeup. When I was done explaining the story of my cancer, they both were impressed with my ideas of heading towards a Goth/Emo/Alt appearance. While I was still in the Albertson store, which has Save-On Drugs and the Starbucks coffee, two kids stopped me to tell me they loved my hair color. C

Titanium getting ready for Halloween

I'm still experimenting with makeup artistry. Been more focused on the dirt work in the yard, but there are a few days I was messing around. @Tweety Bird wanted to see a few new colors of hair for me. How about fire red? Then I've even been to a funeral for one of my friends, I was dressed in full black and black makeup. The fire red hair, I really enjoy wearing when you get comments about being seen all the way across the store, like Walmart. I love to dress up and interact with the public. The

Meet Stormy Rose.

This was so awesome. I ran into a older couple that shared photos of their son and all the stellar comments. Their son did the whole punk theme, mohawk hair, and in blue green color. Checked out of the store with our groceries to run into Stormy Rose, she is a young artist who started her own version of Goth makeup, very impressive artwork for even her age, super cool interaction.

Titanium takes the family out!

Yeah, with all the stress of dealing with the mess in the yard, then the mess of everyone crammed under one roof. It gets to everyone here, so sometimes you just gotta get dressed up and grab a truck and go wander out in the woods looking for camping spots and even take Mollie, our fur baby, with us. @Tweety Bird found me a light ash blue wig and even picked up the lipstain as well. @Tweety Bird She is such an awesome fiancée, she is always trying to add to my Titanium makeup and clothing.

Titanium goes to town

@Tweety Bird and myself were not feeling well last night, so we slept long and hard. I got up this morning and she was requesting I head to town and get hamburger buns, and we would have something simple to eat for today. As usual, my local people know me and always love the makeup and the effect it brings to people. A couple of the female store employees have colored their hair green and purple. I always give people compliments about their appearance, and I always get right back as well. As f

Off to see the insurance company

Yes, I'm off to McCall, ID, to meet with my insurance agent and review the actual insurance policy, word for word. Just to give me a boost today, I went a bit more like Clown Goth. I've a few other stops today, including picking up medications and doing some other shopping. I've got several fans in McCall who enjoy my makeup work and love the reactions of people. Oh, check out the gallery photos. I've got a new shirt. Gotta keep building my character up. I'm hunting for a second shirt, but still

Boise & Medical

Here is am taking a road trip down Tuesday for medical for both @Tweety Bird and myself handling my Cronic Kidney Disease. Yeah my cancer might be over but I'm still with health issues. Yesterday I was dressed up similar to today's pictures. My nurse sure enjoy chatting with me and wondering why the make up. Something about having radioactive material injected into you and watch you kidneys light up on a X-ray screen then watch them drain into my ostomy in realtime. Yeah that test was super cl

Titanium, wows people for breakfast!

@Tweety Bird and I needed to run out and take care of a few things. I hopped in the shower and got cleaned up, and with fresh, clean skin and shaved, I started doing my makeup for the day. I did standard black makeup and wore my blue wig. Nothing fancy by any means but I've wowed another store worker today. @Tweety Bird and I stopped to get breakfast out, which I know of an awesome place for breakfast burritos. Old Towne Market has a small cafe in the back of the store. The gal working there I k

Business side

I made a trip down to Nampa to my fiance's place. The next day I was hopping from salvage yard to salvage yard. I was on a mission to find the next bed for Thor. Even while I was out looking for a truck bed in the salvage yard I was still in hair and makeup. The fiance wanted to come along. She was wearing an orange dress to complement her I opted for the orange tone on my eyelids. Even the shirt which I don't need to repeat in text. You have no idea how much this really does bring more helpful
