i want to update this thing but then i think "why post what you are going to tell someone personally anyway?" I feel a lot better when I talk to someone face to face, or a call (...sometimes), even writing a message using this fine microchip technology. I feel the need to be more interpersonal; The feeling of being cooped up in my own behavioral bubble is getting tiring. Especially during a time when shits seems to be looking good and I don't got really nothing to worry about... cautious, cautious is good though.... I'm way overdue for a mind blast. I told a friend of mine that if he took care of his inner problems, things around him will fall in his place like dominos. I should take that advice.
oh god i hate reading these things back to me cuz it sounds like erin wrote it goddamn. :(

I can write a big journal post about what has happened in the last day, but I think things like this pack more punch.
How's everyone feeling?

My my, activity on LJ?
I've decited to nix the jockystar journal, in order to make a new artblog up at blogger. There's a huge community of artists who are on blogger, and it's better to be in that mix instead of having a blog outside of the art blogsosphere; outside looking in, and not getting into the mix. I can't have my interweb life match my real life.
Although it feels like forever, I've been working for about a month at the new job now. Is it wrong to feel this comfortable this soon? That's funny thinking that, considering I was "unconfortable" at the ViVO until the last weeks before i got laid off... hmm, okay now I'm getting paranoid whoo hoo!
It seems that I've befriended the Tech Guy, Liviu, since he and I are the only ones in the office that smoke American Spirits. He's big on Will Ferrel movies and anecdotes of the old country, I almost called him Niko by accident. My boss seems like the typical party-girl-turned-mom; she says waaay too many drug references that it seems I only get. My boss' boss is basically a filipino Jen whom is trying to recruit me to be her "minion", she is also married to the VP, who's a goony goon goon. The Sales Marketing director (technically my boss' boss' boss) is a Alamurda guy whom in a meeting called the town Mayberry. Huh.
Next on my list of stuff to draw is a tattoo, and two paintings. Roger gave me an easel but i broke it :(. It can be fixed though; it's not fun to paint on a canvas on top of a desk instead of an easel. I've been drawing and exploring more, of course at the expense of social endeavors. These two things seem to be in direct opposite of each other or so i've seen in my 20+ years to bridge this art thing and not-being-a-hermit-prude. I'm on a creative streak though, so if i gotta say no to a partyepicgetlaid whatever so be it. I already have great friends and a family to boot; that going out and treating life as a party is great when you're 20 or something, but...
Maybe I should stfu and get laid.
Maybe. |

| New Years Resolution |
[Aug. 18th, 2008|08:42 am] |
Traditional Leo Traits
Generous and warmhearted
Creative and enthusiastic
Broad-minded and expansive
Faithful and loving
On the dark side....
Pompous and patronizing
Bossy and interfering
Dogmatic and intolerant
Man, fuck New Years. The most life changing events happen in or around my birthday. It has been since 5 years ago, when I shipped off to the bay area a day after my birthday. 2008 did not disappoint, since I'm now a Production Artist at a place called Pandigital. That means I can actually STAY in my apartment and actually STAY here in the Bay. Plus with the extra severance money I have left I can actually buy some furniture and not sleep on the floor anymore. I'm... all over the place right now, but damn I'm happy and grateful.
My 2 month long funk has been very draining on me mentally and creatively, but things are looking up and I've feeling a sense of revival (well I better I still got a freelance gig to finish up). I'm now in the mood to buy up some paint and canvases and do up my place... start a big project... maybe resurrect an old one?
I'm 26 now and things have changed considerably. My bff from San Diego showed me a myspace profile from an old boy-bandmate who's trying to be the asian John Mayer.... and goddamn he's pretty good. There's something about my old alma mater that creates starlets. Nikki tells stories of Alameda High; a place where debauchary was the lesson of the day and where you are judged by what kind of alcohol/drugs you like and whom you sexed up. I'm not saying Montgomery isn't above that, oh helllll no that ghetto ass dirty dirty school... but there was a certain drive we all had, and I see it in my friends back at home when we talk about life and jobs and family and whatnot. It's a drive I should tap into again, and get mah artz back. I can't let Rey Mysterio down (god rest his soul). I gotta prove I can make it out here...
So here is my new years resolution for August 18, 2008 - August 18, 2009
- Lose 30 pounds (lmao good luck fatty)
- Fucking GO somewhere (like this Charles Schultz Museum I keep hearing about)
- Fucking GO somewhere... that's farther from the museum
- Vegas..maybe? (kenneth seems to be too busy with his life that he hasn't shown any interest in this endeavor)
- Stay in the bay for Thanksgiving and try to cook my own thanksgiving feast
- A big painting (thanks Brian lol)
- other art stuff
- Start a band with Jason I am so serious
- ...and whatever life is willing to throw at me
Now if you'll excuse me i'll be rekindling things |

It's a funny thing. There's memories, and the feelings tied to those memories, that one tries hard to reclaim whenever areas of your life go through paths you've never encountered before. "Remember when...? Man, that was wonderful when.... Let's do it up like that one time.... Do you think we'll ever....?"
I am really digging Speisekammer. It's a nice place to have some awesome beer and relax with buds. I've been there a couple of times in the last 2 weeks. Best dark, stouty beer I've had in ages.
Super Smash Bros. is a big staple of my weekday diet. Although you wouldn't guess that; the Nintendo Wii stays unplugged at my apartment, only being used whenever I pack it up and head to Anthony and Brenden's house to play a round. A round. I keep telling myself that, "... there's work to be done. That laundry won't clean itself. I'll just be there for an hour." "Dude, it's already 10:30," Brian would usually say, after 4+ hours of playing and watching video game characters of yesteryear trying so desperately to knock other characters off a floating platform. The competitiveness keeps us playing; Brenden and Ant are Video Game enthusiasts, well versed in all sorts of gaming lore. Brendon is a game tester for Sony Computer Entertainment, inc.™, and Ant is a part-time employee of the local San Leandro Gamestop, though it would seem he's more worthy of a job with more clout, but to each their own. Tie this with Brian's gaming expertise, as well as his uncanny ability to talk trash, and my obsessive compulsive need to suck games dry, makes for an interesting and entertaining evening. Brenden and I went on a 20 minute fight-fest on Saturday with his Mario against my Mr. Game & Watch, something that took me back to 1996 when I almost had Kenneth's DeeJay on the ropes in Super Street Fighter 2 at MCAS Iwakuni's Pizza Parlor. Most guys spend their weekday afternoons playing a round of Basketball, or hit up a local pool hall. This is what we do. This is also the biggest paragraph itp <@[:-(.
Work has gotten a lot more lenient since the trade show season is over, on the flip side of things, it has been amazing boring. I spent my days leafing through various Web 2.0 social networking/dating sites and the local Craigslist. The two main topics, which could be said of most, if not all social interaction in the modern age, is sex and politics. The politics of sex, the sexiness of politics, wax on, wax off, second verse, same as the first. It's life, whether I take it or leave it. I'm shooting myself in the foot.
You know what I need? Greatness. That's what I'm searching for this year; a resolution if you will. I want great things, meet great people, experience greatness, and I want it on a consistent basis. Can this happen? |

It's getting difficult to write something on here with any sort of conventionality without coming off as overweening; when you jot down your life onto something that the whole world to see, tied in with the stigma that you gotta communicate your own identity in your personal writing... well....
But hey, life is okay. I'm not dead yet. After the Showdown at Hippy Stronghold, I got a studio apartment. It's... it's what a 25 year old drawing manchild who is barely home and smokes ridiculous amounts of ganja's apartment is supposed to look like. it's nice though; home perishables (like toilet paper and garbage bags) last longer than 3 weeks now, sink isn't piled up with unknown substances, and at least the funk coming from my room is my own doing. That's-a so nice.
The after college life has got me a bit jaded. Could it be me just living in an area of freedom love self expression let go and be a free spirit namasde going against my life of GITRDUN™, or just the realization that life after college doesn't really let up after you grab that degree. They glorify SUCCESS OF A COLLEGE DEGREE when you were a kid, but they don't tell you "hey guess what you will be broke regardless tee hee". Furthermore, I strongly believe that OH COMAN YOU KNOW WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT THATS RIGHT NIGGERS
