I tell everyone that I know that I do not live in the real world. They have a hard time understanding exactly what it is that I mean. I sometimes even have a hard time trying to explain exactly what it is that I'm talking about. Normally it all ends in a spattering of confusion similar to bird poop on a cars windshield. Basically I define my own reality. That's what it all boils down to. Yes my reality is inspired by movies, media, video games, cartoons, T. V. series and people I know but its that material that bakes in my minds oven and defines my understanding of the things that surround me. Confused?

On the internet is there a such thing as too much.

I was just doing some counting and I am currently registered at over 55 different web and social media's all over the freaking internet. As soon as I get them all written down I'll post them here but is anyone else out there as web obsessed as I? Let me know.

I'm working on rebuilding my site and I have found the perfect blueprint over at <a href="[link] Den</a> that goes along with everything I do. It'll take me a little while to find the time to put it up but hopefully I can change my journal design and start a blog using the same concept. DA has been a great source of inspiration and I thank all of the creative people here have lent their talents to become my muse.

I wanted to be sure to thank everyone here on DA for stopping by in my absence and commenting and faving my work. I would like to especially thank `tracie76 for continuing to support me and still displaying the journal I designed for her even though I know she might be ready for a change. I want to thank my former room mate ~Ahrum for continuing to be so great and all of my other DA friends who made me believe that I can do it all. Thank you all.

Well I've been gone for quite a while but for a good reason this time. I went off to try on the real world for a while.

The result...

The real world kicked my butt. I never really realized how cut throat and intense the world of graphic design could be. There are no box office movies that honestly portray our stuggle and plight so one is lead to believe that graphic design (or design in general) is all about butterflies and rose buds.

I tried my hand at the world of freelance design. It started out nice and evenly paced but once you do a good job for one person then the word gets out and the projects start pouring in. It was good at first. I had no problem keeping up. I was built for this. It was my destiny. The money was Decent. I get to do what I love. Life was grand. Until it all turned dark.

There is a new addition coming soon to my humble family. For those that don't know I currently have two children; A nine year old daughter and a one year old son. Well I recently received some news that I now have another bundle of joy on the way projected one day before my birthday. WHAT A PRESENT!

I'll keep you all posted but in the meantime you can check out the family pics on my flickr account.

I have a lot more going on in my life that I may or may not share with you but I promise I'll be around a little more now that I call the shots. Stay tuned...
