How I did it: I got laid off and stopped being a couch potato. But even if I wasn't laid off, I would have been able to do complete this. To challenge myself I also joined a book circle where we choose a book for the month and write a review about it via online forum. Most of the books I read were things that I had on my shelf that I've been wanting to read for a long time.My original goal was to read 10 books within one year and I finished 10 books in… Read how I did it…

Move out of my parents house into a place of my own
Same damn thing... 2 months ago

I was reading some of my old journal entries and for years its the same sh!t. I’m miserable here and I’m tired. I’ve decided to finally move out! I’m sorting out my things and going to sell most of what I own. I don’t want bring too much junk to a new place. I need to live clean and minimally.

I have some money saved, but its not enough. I don’t anticipate this to be an immediate thing, but I am hoping to be able to move out within 1-2 years.

make an illustration portfolio (read all 5 entries…)
New direction 2 months ago

Well… the artists I teamed up with two years ago started getting pretty flakey! They’re still good friends of mine, but we’ve grown apart when it comes to art.

It looks like I’m on my own again. It was a minor setback, but I just have to stay optimistic and move on. I’ve teamed up with two other friends and we’re working on a comic together. I’ve also finally joined Deviant Art and Conceptart. This should keep me inspired and within the loop!

update my website (read all 2 entries…)
Improvements! 2 months ago

While my real website is under-construction, I’ve updated the blog section and it looks really slick thanks to the new blogger templates! They’re pretty awesome and customizable!

I’m having my brother help with the coding for my new site as we both learn Wordpress. I wish we teamed up a long time ago! I don’t know why we haven’t… I mean, he’s a programmer and I’m a designer for Pete’s sake! Well, its never too late! I’m really excited about this!
