She's gone.

So, I haven't written a blog in a bit.  I'm here to do a little update action.  

First and foremost, My girlfriend and I broke up after almost 2 1/2 years together.  I took it very hard at first because everything was so confusing, but now looking back, it's for the best.  I don't think she was really ready for anything super serious past the point of a long term relationship anyways, where I am getting there.  There were some things about her that I found were never going to change so it was all for the best.

I'm looking forward to the future and to what God is about to do in my life.  I plan on seeking his face much more so than I have in the recent past.  I feel like I put God to the side when He should have been my top priority.  I need Him more in my life to continue on in this world and make it through.

School is going well.  I'm really enjoying my Design III class.  We turned in the thing I talked about in my last blog today.  It'll go to the head of the bureau and they'll choose one of our logos.  It's pretty exciting.

Well, that's all for now.  Please, if you read this, send up an extra prayer for me tonight when you're praying for everyone you can think of.  I need all of the help I can get.  

Thanks for reading and God bless you all.

Bring it home.

In Graphic Design III class, we're designing a logo for a local city's convention bureau.  They want people to not go to other cities around the area for there events, but to stay and allow their home city to have the meetings in their various venues.  The city is well known for its furniture industry and has a lot of buildings for that.  

I have a lot of ideas brewing and I can't wait to get into the thumbnail stage.  If I make a successful logo and the bureau chooses it, they will use it for their event!  Pretty exciting.  Then my logo will be on mailers, billboards, etc.  This is a pretty big portfolio piece and it's pretty insane that it's out first project.  I'm ready, though.

Well, that's all I have on this.  I'll update you on how it's going.

Good evening, world.

About that beach trip.

It was really fun.  We went to the beach twice and swam and had a good time.  The first time we went when we got there, I got burnt.  It kinda stunk because I put sunscreen on everywhere, I thought, but it turns out that I missed a few spots and I still feel the burn.  Oh well.  

While there, we also got stung by flippin' yellow jackets!  That really sucked.  We were preparing to go out to eat and have a good time.  We took Rusty out and when we were walking him around outside the condominium, he walked over some pine straw.  While on the straw, he yelped really loud and started running around.  I looked and reached down to get him to see what was going on with him and before we knew it, we were being swarmed.  I got stung once on my left hand on my middle finger, my girlfriend got stung on her butt twice, and Rusty got stung once right on his suture from his neutering.  Poor pup.  

We survived, though, and ended up having a really nice trip.  When we were leaving, I was pretty sad.  I wanted to stay much longer and relax and enjoy myself.  But as they say, all good things come to an end.  I don't know who "they" are, but they said it.  

With all of that being said, I will say this now:  I really love my girlfriend.  Yep.

Well, that's all for now.  Thanks for reading.

Beach!!!

I am thankful to be leaving for my first vacation since 2002 come tomorrow.  I think it is well deserved because since 2002 I've done nothing but work and school with no breaks in between.  I'm really looking forward to it and I have my girlfriend and her family to thank.  I will be going with them and our dog, Rusty.  

Sadly, Rusty was neutered a few days ago, so he will not be able to swim or enjoy the beach as much as he should.  I really didn't want Rusty to be fixed yet, but it was not my choice.  It was between my girlfriend and her mom.  Poor dog.

Well, If I don't write while I'm away, I'll write when I get back and maybe sling some pictures on here.

Thank you for reading.

I get slack.

Wow.  I haven't posted in a while.  I bet all of you loyal readers are pretty upset.  Well, I think there's only one loyal reader and that's me, but anyways.

As of late, I've been working and playing lots of tennis.  School got out a few weeks back and I wound up with an "A" in the English class I took.  I was well pleased with the grade I earned.  I had a great teacher, a great group, and a great time in that class.  I'm looking forward to fall classes coming up.

Well, sorry for the break in posts.  I'll work on it.

Thanks for reading.

I need a new job.

I'm tired of working where I am.  I want an awesome job.  I want to take photographs for a living or design for a living.  I need my degree.  What kind of job should I have until I finish my degree?

Here's what I don't want to do:

• Sell things.
• Cook things.
• Deal with annoying managers.
• Interact with annoying people.
• Work under lame tight wads.

Is there a job that doesn't fit in that category?  I hope so.  

Thanks for reading this nonsense.
