ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IN LIFE SOMETIMES. ALL I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT ART AND DESIGN HAVE TO BE A MAJOR PORTION OF IT, BUT OFTEN I GET PULLED INTO OTHER AREAS THAT FORCE ME TO PUT THAT ASIDE AND LEARN OTHER THINGS AND BE THIS “JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE” KIND OF PERSON. IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH MAKING A LIVING AND FINDING THAT BACKUP CAREER PLAN THAT YOU CAN LIVE WITH I GUESS. I DON’T KNOW…I’M NOT REALLY COMPLAINING, I’VE ACTUALLY LEARNED A LOT FROM HAVING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO DO STUFF…JUST THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO FOCUS ON ONE THING AND GET REALLY GOOD AT IT.

I ACTUALLY HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT IT BUT I’LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR NOW.

ALSO THAT POSTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I’M BLOGGING ABOUT…I JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE THE GRAPHICS AND, I LIKE TO COVER UP MY RAMBLINGS WITH PHOTOS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS…

I GOT A PHAT REFUND FROM MY TAXES THIS YEAR, STATE AND FEDERAL…YEAH THAT’S RIGHT I SAID PHAT…P-H-A-T. HAHA! THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS I COULD GO ABOUT SPENDING THIS REFUND:
1. GET A NEW TATTOO
2. BUY A MACBOOK PRO LAPTOP
3. BUY MORE MEMORY FOR MY AGING G5
4. PAY OFF SOME CREDIT CARD DEBT

I AM LEANING TOWARDS PAYING OFF SOME CREDIT CARD DEBT, ALTHOUGH 1 SEEMS REALLY TEMPTING RIGHT NOW…UGHHHH, GADDAMNIT I WANT A LOT OF THINGS. ANYWAY BEFORE I FORGET, I REALLY DON’T LIKE TALKING ABOUT GRAFF ANYMORE BUT I WANT TO MENTION THAT I PAINTED WITH THESE TALENTED GUYS LAST WEEKEND; YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS ON THEIR BLOGS AMONG OTHER COOL SHIT: SWANK, EYE AND THE SEEKING HEAVEN CREW. ENJOY.

IT’S CAPS LOCK FRIDAY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS… MORE RAMBLING FROM YOURS TRULY! BUT, LIKE ICE CUBE SAYS, TODAY IS A GOOD DAY (SO FAR) AND I AM GLAD. PRAISE JESUS, ALLAH, BUDDHA OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU BELIEVE IN. I HAVE TO SAY A CHEESY LINE PERTAINING TO LIFE THOUGH: LIFE IS A ROLLERCOASTER, SOMETIMES YOU’RE EVEN, AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU HAVE YOUR HIGHS AND LOWS. AND TODAY, I AM EVEN, AT LEAST FOR NOW.

YOU KNOW, IF PEOPLE TELL YOU ENOUGH THAT YOU’RE GOOD, YOU START TO BELIEVE IT. THEN YOUR EGO GETS BIG, AND THEN YOU FALL INTO YOUR COMFORT ZONE BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU’RE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. AND SO WHAT HAPPENS? YOU START TO FALL OFF, BECAUSE YOU GOT COMFORTABLE. YOU SECRETLY THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE. THAT COULD BE TRUE, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE SHORT-LIVED, IF YOU DON’T KEEP YOUR MIND CONSTANTLY LEARNING, AND YOUR SKILLS SHARP. REMEMBER, THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO’S BETTER, WHO PROBABLY ISN’T BRAGGING (YET), BUT IS SLOWLY BUILDING UP THEIR SKILLS IN WHATEVER IT IS THEY REALLY WANT TO BE GOOD AT, AND THEN ONE DAY THEY WILL SURPASS YOU AND THEN FINALLY, REPLACE YOU. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M TRYING TO GET AT EXACTLY, BUT ALL I’M SAYING IS: DON’T GET TOO COMFORTABLE AND NEVER SETTLE FOR JUST BEING ‘GOOD’. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE - THIS APPLIES TO ANYTHING IN LIFE WHETHER IT IS A JOB SKILL, OR A HOBBY (THAT COULD TURN INTO A JOB SKILL TOO). AND DON’T ALWAYS BELIEVE YOUR FRIENDS EITHER; THEY COULD BE LYING TO SPARE YOUR FEELINGS.

I HAVEN’T HAD TO TIME TO BLOG…I’VE BEEN WORKING LATE & BUSTING MY ASS OFF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS ON SOME CHEESY, HISTORICALLY INACCURATE MOVIE TITLE THAT I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE DOING (ALONG WITH OTHER EXTREMELY TEDIOUS TASKS; I SERIOUSLY WANTED TO DIE THIS WEEK); BUT SINCE I AM THE MODEL EMPLOYEE (EVEN THOUGH NO ONE NOTICES) I GIVE MY JOB 110 PERCENT NO MATTER WHAT…SO INSTEAD I’LL JUST POST A MUSIC VIDEO FROM DM. HAVE A FANTASTIC FRIDAY EVERYONE.

HAPPY CAPS LOCK FRIDAY!!

1. I’M LOW ON FUNDS BECAUSE I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. GOTTA RECOVER FROM IT NOW.

2. TAKING A WEB DEVELOPMENT CLASS NEXT WEEK. I HOPE I LEARN SOMETHING NEW. EDIT: JUST FOUND OUT THAT CLASS GOT CANCELLED. GONNA FIND ANOTHER CLASS TO TAKE I GUESS. A FINAL CUT PRO CLASS OR ADVANCED MOTION GRAPHICS MAYBE? OR SAVE MONEY AND BUY A BOOK ON THE SUBJECT INSTEAD?

3. GOT A NEW STICKER MADE. 500 STICKERS ONLY THOUGH; RED & BLACK. I GOT SICK OF THE LAST ONE I DID WHICH WAS A 1000. GOT IT DONE THROUGH STICKY RICK’S.

4. CONTINUOUS LEARNING AND KEEPING MY MIND OCCUPIED. THIS PROBABLY SOUNDS HELLA CORNY BUT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY CREATIVITY BACK; SO I STARTED READING THE ARTIST’S WAY BOOK. I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S HELPING ME, BUT IT’S DOING SOMETHING. I’LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

5. HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE DOING WELL. WHEN I’M NOT BEING SELF-ABSORBED I ACTUALLY DO THINK OF YOU GUYS; THANKS FOR VISITING THIS BLOG OF MINE. I’M FEELING OUT OF THE LOOP BECAUSE I’M NOT ON MYSPACE. BUT IS IT REALLY WORTH COMING BACK TO SEE WHAT MY GOOD FRIENDS ARE UP TO, AND AT THE SAME BE SURROUNDED BY TOYS, HOODRATS, IDIOTS, CHILD MOLESTERS AND PEOPLE WHOSE OPINIONS AND “MOODS” I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT? I’M STILL DEBATING IT.

6. THIS WORDPRESS BLOGGING TOOL IS ANNOYING AND BUGGY.  

Fuck. I should’ve posted this on Friday instead. Because this is my HELL YES IT’S FRIDAY AND I PARTY ALL THE TIME (WHILE I’M AT WORK) jam
