Final Update For Now...

In case anybody is actually still following this blog, I have officially put it on a hiatus to focus on another blog I created to further my current career goals.

If I didn't mention it before I went to school over past few years to major in Motion Graphic Design, and with my shiny new BAS in Motion Graphic Design from Ex'pression College for Digital Arts, in Emeryville, CA, I am now trying to get out into the world of motion graphics full time.

Granted, it is not as straightforward as I had hoped, mostly because the economy decided to take a nose-dive a few months after I graduated... BUT, I am staying optimistic, and hoping that the reign of terror that began with President Bush and has now been amplified by the newly elected Barack Obama will be squashed by the few remaining sensible people left in this country.

And when I say squashed, I mean that through determination, extensive legal battles, and rallying together we can let the government know that they are over-stepping some bounds that were set up by our fore-fathers during the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, specifically made to keep the decision-making power in the hands of the people.

And now that I am done ranting, feel free to check out my other blog here for an insight into my current endeavors and day-to-day life.

Until next time (whenever that is),
Cheers and God-Bless

A Welcomed Change...

Well, I have finally done something I have meant to do for a long time now.

I have pretty much exiled MySpace. I will still continue to check my messages there just in case, but I am getting sick and tired of the fakes that are sending me friend invites 50 times a day. I don't have the time or energy to sort through that mess to find the authentic members who actually want to be my friend online or off.

That said, I am now concentrating on developing a Multiply page I have setup recently.
This post is actually being constructed through a Multiply dialog. You can go here to see what the whole Multiply thing is about. It's basically a simplified MySpace type web 2.0 site that isn't clutter with a bajillion ads and (at least not yet) a bunch of fake friend invite spam crap.

It is sad that MySpace is going downhill, and I do not blame the almighty Tom or any of MySpace's developers for this mishap. It is simply the human condition for some people who have no life whatsoever to annoy people they don't even know with fake spam friend invites. It especially annoys me when those invites link to profiles for "hot, sexy chicks" whose pages are simply out there to link unsuspecting users to porn sites and or sites set up for chicks who have no self esteem and bare all because they think it will make people like them more.

To all those people, I say this: GET A FRICKIN' LIFE. The world is already full of losers. Don't join that club. GET A JOB, A CAREER, A REASON TO LIVE. GET GOD. Despite what people will tell you, He IS the way, the truth, and the life. And although I may not be the perfect Christian, but I couldn't imagine my life without my faith in Him, Jesus THE Christ, my Lord and Saviour.

I always hear people complaing that the world is so scary nowadays. I hear people say all the time that they are so stressed out, that they have so many hardships, and life sucks.

There will always be someone who has more hardships than you. And if you want someone to blame for the way life is nowadays, blame yourselves. People are the reason people are unhappy. Not everybody is contributing to the decline of our society, but most do in one aspect or another.

I once saw a shirt that read: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
I am certain that this t-shirt is referring to large majority of our planet's population, not to mention the ever-so-idiotic Democratic Party.

So, stop lying to yourselves. Be positive and act positive, and maybe you'll make a difference.
And if you are incapable of that, then don't drag the rest of us down with you.

Until next time....
Peace.

I'm back! Or am I?

Yikes! It's been awhile!
But don't worry folks. I'm still alive!
School has been keeping me pretty busy, and life in general has kept me from posting, but that's all about to change...

Um... for an in-depth update go visit my MYSPACE page's blog!!

More later...

Peace.

Sorry, I haven't posted in a VERY LONG TIME!
Here is something to get the ball rolling again...
Enjoy!

My Bad! No seriously...

I apologize to anybody who reads this blog on a regular basis (that's what, all of 3 people), because I haven't posted in literally almost six months!

I have been SUPER DUPER EXTREMELY ULTRA COMPLETELY busy!!
Here's the low-down.

- I no longer live in Vacaville; I moved to the East Bay (about 45 mins away) near Oakland.

- I made that move in early March for the sole purpose of going to a school called Ex'pression College for the Digital Arts, in Emeryville.

- I found a great church in San Francisco and I am attending regularly.

- Over the last three or four months, I have spent just over $1000 dollars to keep my car (ugh!) in decent running condition (I had to get new tires, and a brank spankin' new radiator, to name a few things)

- I met a gorgeous woman, and we sort of dated for about a week, but we had to part ways when I moved, and then she moved a shortwhile later to the Central United States, although we still keep in touch (but we're just friends).

- Now I share a house with (currently) two girls and a guy. The guy just moved in, after we got the previous guy kicked out for partying at night and keeping us up late when we had to work and go to school in the morning, etc.

- And that's about all I can think of at the moment........... whew!

Alright, I post later with more to say...

Until next time,
Peace.

oh and BTW, I am enlarging the font of my posts from here forward not for my sake but to aid those who hate reading little tiny text on their 1600x1200 resolution monitors (you lucky chumps!)... ;)

Still kickin!

Well, I haven't posted in awhile, but I have an excuse: life.

Seriously, though. I am trying to get into a college in Emeryville, CA.
It is time consuming, along with my working 5 days a week.
But I try, what can I say?
More later...

Peace.

A Quick Shout Out...

In case anybody missed me, I'm still alive.
I haven't been blogging here in awhile because I've been busy with another blog.
Its called "The Story of Ultima" and is basically a novel told in blog posts.
I am co-writing it with my buddy, codenamed "MaskedMegaMan" (for the duration of the project) and we are doing a pretty good job so far.
Check it out at http://ustory.blogspot.com/
Blog u later!

Peace.
