A Bit of Randomness...

Since I've not posted in a little while, I decided it was UPDATE TIME!!!!

Well first off, the site is about 90% done. I finally got the background up and have just about gotten the banner sized right. So once that's done I'll be through with redesigning for awhile. I'll probably post the actual designs in another post so you can get a better view. And by you I mean probably the 4-5 people who actually read this. Probably even less.

This freaking psycho weather is pissing me off. The high for today is 6 bleepin' 3! Which means that's the warmest it'll get. Winter wasn't this freaking cold! It's almost summer! Get warm now!

I want to wear green khaki pants again. I miss wearing them. I only have one pair now and they're not that great. I also have two corderoy (sp? screw off it's summer, thinking stopped on May 4th, and will not start back till June 5 when summer school starts) green pants but they're too hot to wear in the summer.

I want to see the Black Crowes in concert this summer. They have two concerts in a reasonably close proximity to where I live. Bad news both concerts are inbetween summer school class. But I may say screw it and go anyway. I looked at Tickets for one of the shows and it was gonna be around 45$ for middle seating, not ideal but not out the butt expensive either. So, if I can talk some friends or at least one friend into going, I'm going.

Though I'm not a huge video game fan, I'll talk about E3 for about .5 seconds. I may be investing in Nintendo once the price goes down a bit (I've never bought a system as soon as it came out, basically due the systems being way too expensive *glares at PS3*). Maybe just because of Super Mario Galaxy, and of course because of the new Zelda game. This game looks friggin sweet. Though I'm kind of leary about the controller I still want to play that game. The game has that feeling of wonder that the Classic Mario games had. It seems the Ps3 is where me and Sony part ways, I was never greatly impressed with the PS2 and the price for the PS3 is a bit too much. In fact I'll probably buy a game cube soon to get some games I really wanted like Windwaker and a few others.

The beginner Trombone instructor job seems to have fallen through. I've not heard a word about it since I left my name so I say screw it. I wasn't really planning on working a steady job this summer anyway with summer school though the extra cash would be nice. I may just look for odd jobs again, which never seems to pan out very well but I had a bit of success with it last summer. Plus I'll probably play with Buc Brass again so that'll give me another decent paycheck. Maybe I can design some T-shirts and sell them.

Well, that seems to be all for the moment.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Human Being at Work

Yeah, so I'm still trying to redesign the site if you haven't noticed the chaos. Geez this is so annoying. Damn you CSS! Why must you be so abusive yet so sexy? Sigh.

Well since I'm here I'll update a bit. Vent some rage.

Finally got my application to Northeast State in today. Yeah yeah procrastination blah blah lazy, well y'know what? Screw off, "I got the job done." Random Lethal Weapon quote for the day.

Went to the the Tri Cities Flea Market Saturday with my parents. So many stereotypes. I can't stand people who exemplify a stereotype, it makes everyone else look bad. Racist Southerners make all Southerners look that way. Loud mouth New Yorkers make the others seem that way. Yes stereotypes are bad but the reason various racial or social groups get cast as certain stereotypes is because there's some truth to them. My complaint about the world today.

As I mentioned earlier I worked some on the blog. I got my banner finished in photoshop and you can see part of it in the background, but I have to resize it for the site. I'll also likely be making a background since my original idea blew up in my face. Likely not as fancy as my banner but still a little fancy. Kind of Ryans fancy.

There's probably more stuff I want to talk about but I can't think of it right now so I'll add it later.

Name change and appearance change part 1...

As you can see, I've changed my blog's name. The reason for this is mainly that I got tired of the other name. Also it wasn't kid or parent friendly so thus is why I changed it.

Also been tweaking the design some today. Don't know if I'll stay with this concept or not.

An edit of sorts...


Since it was such a pain to edit the other post I'll just put the poster image in this entry.
Not that anyone will reply, but does it look as dark to other people as it does to me? The print wasn't this dark and it's not this dark on my laptop, but it looks really dark on my monitor for my PC. Same goes for Frank.

Well for those who haven't seen or heard from me in several weeks. Here are two reasons why. Also this is a fufillment to actually post some of my artwork on here. In this case, I'm posting two of my photoshop projects.

*Link Removed, see next post*
This was from a movie poster project for my Photoshop class. I need to send it to Colby who posed for the photo, since he has yet to see it.

And the picture at the very top is my final project for my Photoshop class. Freaky Frank is the name of the model which our class worked on and was a pain and a half to do with all the other projects going on.

Other reasons for my hermit like state of being is my stupid Color Theory final, which required us to recreate a piece of art using color found in magazines. Yes, mother ****'ing magazines. Of course, me being the procrastinator I've been didn't start on this until 1:00 Sunday Afternoon. I wound up not completely finishing even after staying up till 3 AM, and then waking up at 7 AM and putting in 3 more hours after that. I forgot to do some of the color theory excercises as well and had to mount all of the excercises I did have in under 2 hours. Then go to an English exam in which I had to do a 1000 word in class writing. All with 3 hours of sleep. And to top it all off, I had to work on Freaky Frank at the DMC (digital media center) till 10:30. Then drive home and wake up at 8:30 to go back to the DMC for the first day of exams today. I was going to present my Freaky Frank texture project and be done with it, but circumstances didn't allow that so I'll be back up there Thursday to present it. In the long run though, it will probably be better to do it this way. But that's another story.

I would complain about school more, but right now I just don't feel like it, but I may go into those details later.

Almost lost that post, sorry for the spelling and grammatical errors, but the spell check almost screwed me over so I say **** you spell check, **** you.
