I've neglected the journal feature on deviant art for years now. I suppose it's time. (Beats MySpace)

Things have slowed down a bit for me on the internet. I’ve adopted a family of three kids and a gorgeous Indonesian woman. Something not expected, telling myself I’d never date a woman with kids again. Finding time to do the regular routine is difficult due to my commitment in this relationship, but she’s forgiving to a good degree so I’m lucky. Internet gaming is at a complete stand still because I need to reformat (Windows XP install date May, 2005) and I’m too lazy and too busy with other projects to get it done. I know it’s inevitable though but was hoping to get it done for the PC upgrade instead.

Graphically, things are great! Work projects could be more consistent, but I blame my for not committing to finding more and with real life taking more of a priority, balancing ways to make money is proving to be a challenge. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t take the job though. I haven’t had any particular Photoshop focus, just doing work projects, mainly websites and logos as needed and trying to define my scene rendering abilities. I’m beginning to realize that I’m the Bob Ross of graphic design. My non web work is decent, but I really don’t put that much time and skill into it. I just use a lot of smoke and mirrors to make it look like I’ve done a lot. In that I’ve decided I should take graphic and web design more seriously if I’m going to make a good living off of it. The woman has also established that if I don’t start picking a career and going with it, she won’t be around for long. I feel my web graphic design skills are adequate but my knowledge of proper set and print are lacking and my coding/scripting knowledge are almost none existent (Thank you Chase and Dreamweaver). I manage to never have an issue getting a project finished on time and looking good. Its just time for me to take the next step and round it all out… If I can get some quiet time around the house..
