A New Job

Well after being laid off for over six months I finally found a job I can live with. I'm going to sort of miss days filled with nothing to do but leisure time, but money does make the world go 'round. It is a startup business, so I'm getting in at the right time. The company is Infinite Business Solutions, and they help small and medium size companies grow!

My role will be to be in charge of the internet side of things. I get to work from home, make web sites and business identities for our clients. I will also be responsible for our image, so I have a lot of work to do. Already I have four web sites and brochures to create. Not to bad as our company is not yet quite off the ground yet. If things work out, I will be a partner with the owners.

This is the type of thing I have been hoping for, and it finally happened. The best part is I will be able to go to school and still work, although I am going to be a very busy bee when school starts again.

Long Day

Well, I was up way to late last night. I have an Art History exam tomorrow and I have been studying for weeks. The range is from Impressionism to Pop Art. For those of you that know, there is a lot of material in between. For those of you who don't know, take my word for it, or do some research.

My daughter had to come and stay with me today because she was sick. So now I have about two hours of sleep, and have to be her little butler for the day. Not that that is so bad, she is a little sweetheart. I have half a dozen new pictures for my fridge, which is always a bonus.

I think I will try to include something fun for you to do in this post. I made a flash game in class this semester, so you can play it. One day I will add sound and more levels, perhaps.

Geek

Ok, I'm such a geek. Not only am I doing two posts back to back, this one is about Sea Monkeys. Yes, thats right, Sea Monkeys. I really for real ordered a kit online and it came to me in the mail. I love getting stuff I bought online in the mail. Anyhoo, I poured in the "bottled water" and the purifier stuff and waited almost 24 hours. Then I poured in the batch of "instant life" and looked for my little Sea Monkeys. Well, it has been about six hours and I still can't see them. I understand that they are really small right now. About the size of this period --->. But no, I can't see them. The funny thing is tonight on South Park Cartman and gang bought Sea Monkeys as well. His worked, but he was pissed they were brine shrimp and not actual little people. Long story short, he mixes human sperm with them and wallah, small little sea people are born. They create a small underwater society and destroy themselves by war.

Here is a picture of my colony so far. It has a cool glow in the dark ship in it.

My first post

Hello to anyone who cares to read this. I finally followed the pack off the cliff and created my own blog. Why are these things so popular? Does anyone really care about random people and what they have to say? The popularity of these things must be a big YES!

I guess I should tell you a little bit about me, since we probably just met. I was in the Air Force for four long years. My job was Security Forces. Kinda like the Army of the Air Force. In fact, part of our training was at Fort Dix in New Jersey for six weeks with the Army. That was probably the most fun I had during my training. Our job was to protect the base from any ground threat that might come along. For the most part we drove around in four wheel drive vehicles looking for new ways to get in trouble. I did get to go to Saudi Arabia, Korea, Ireland, Germany, Naples, and Hawaii. After all that fun my brother and I moved out to California.

We were in San Diego for quite a few months, not finding any work but having fun nonetheless. A job offer in Santa Rosa sent us on a little road trip, but the gangs up there were a little aggressive so we decided not to take the job. Lucky for us we were given a chance by the same company to work back home in GR at their unionized plant. Much better. Great pay and great benefits. After a couple years I realized I wanted more. I taught myself HTML and all the fun programs like photoshop and illustrator. Then dreamweaver and flash. Once I realized I could get paid for doing what I thought was fun I discovered that design principles were lacking in my repertoire.

I started my college education at Davenport University. They offered a four year degree in E-Business. Unfortunately it was heavy on the business and lacking in what I needed...DESIGN BASICS. So I put together a little portfolio of things that I had done and went to the top art school near me. Kendall College of Art and Design. To my delight I was accepted and have not looked back.

Well, that is probably more about me than you really care about, but it is my blog. You can't expect me to write about YOU in my blog now can you? Well, if I knew you and it was something interesting or funny then maybe I guess I would. Otherwise, start your own blog and write about you.
