How I did it
How to live artfully
It took me
4 years
It made me
very happy!

How I did it: I took a position with a non-profit that produces Film Festivals and got to work in an art museum every day. After doing this for 2 years, I quit (low pay) and vowed to get myself an art studio. Looking back, I've done quite a bit. I've co-organized 3 open studio events, each of which drew 500 to 700 attendees. I started a group called Atlanta Painters and hosted life drawing and painting sessions...I took painting and drawing classes...l… Read how I did it…

It made me
happy

How I did it: I used Dreamweaver to put up a few pages and Photoshop to resize my images. The site isn't anything special...it's functional. I wanted to hire a designer, but didn't feel like dropping $3,000+ on this. I created several thumbnail pages. No navigation bar (yet). Read how I did it…

Emotional investment 2 months ago

It can be so incredibly frustrating when you begin to have feelings for a woman you’re dating…you want something more than just sex, like a LTR, and there’s just a mismatch in terms of wants/needs. I just can’t see putting so much emotional investment into a woman who isn’t on the same page. I guess I should just enjoy what is…which is fine. But I’m not going to continue to see this woman exclusively at the expense of finding myself a more emotionally-fulfilling LTR and wife. I deserve a woman who recognizes what I bring to the table, one who isn’t hesitant to pursue a relationship with more promise.

Its been five long years... 2 months ago

since I last had a girlfriend. And I’ve finally met a woman whom I really care about. This is my first entry with something positive to report, so I am truly grateful. I just need to remember to enjoy the journey.

have more sex
Finally. 2 months ago

This has been a long time coming…I met a woman whom I really enjoy spending time with. She’s smart, beautiful, and we’re both into art. My faith in humanity has been restored! There are few things on this planet as wonderful as sexual intimacy.
