I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Christmas this year. May the new year bring you all the success and joy you can possibly stand!!

Been really happy with all the amazing stuff on devART that I've come across in the last several weeks. It's been very inspiring. I wish I had more to show for the drawing tablet I have, it's going be awhile before I get acclimated. It's been mostly music and photos for me.

I'm fairly pleased with the photos I've been taking, and I had an awesome opportunity to work as the editor on a timed film making competition called the National Film Challenge - [link] The movie was written, shot, and produced in its ENTIRETY in just one weekend. What and awesome time I had.

The season change has been just what I needed... kind of a boot in the pants if you will. I hope to ride the momentum for a bit and get as much done as I can (creatively speaking).

Hope all is well in your world!

Wow, it's been a looooong time since I posted a journal. I don't even want to think about it.

What I am thinking about is how rad I think devART is, and I'm astonished at how much great art there is here by so many amazing artists. It makes me happy to be able to come here and get lost (sometimes for hours at a time). I'm constantly in awe of the works I see here and it has in recent months insprired me.

I just snagged a graphics tablet (wacom intuos 3) because I've always wanted to draw and never really have taken the time to learn. We'll see what happens. I hope to have a ton of stuff to post in the coming weeks.

Mood: Forced

... but yeah... tonight I am drunk, and oh what a sad boy I be. Time heals all wounds they say. Time. What a concept. I wish there was something that could heal me from the effects of time. It was a period of TIME that got me into this mess... !@#$.

Mood: Sadness

So I guess I'm sad tonight because I'm still remembering how shitty it feels to have the girl I was dating for NINE F-ING MONTHS tell me that (all of the sudden) we didn't have very much in common, AND that she felt she would better off with someone who 'went to college'. Meaning someone who FINISHED college, me NOT being in that category of our wretched species. Being dumped for not having a degree... and I thought I would just end up working at McDonald's for the rest of my life, not alone too. Is there a 'lesson' here?!?! Should I have taken notes?!?! WTF! I didn't finish school yet... I'm not 92, I'm not 47, I'm not 30! Whose stinking time table are we on anyway?!? I've concocted several theories regarding the 'real' reason I've been cut loose, and it's only made me feel worse. I could care less if there's another person in the equation, but then again, I never finished college; I'm not that good at math. FUCK.
