The re-evaluation train has come around again with the end of summer (screw what the calendar says — Labor day ends summer, end of statement). Time to start thinking of what the next few months will hold and in what direction to point myself. Everyone goes through it, but I just happen to do my evaluations in public from time to time.
Should I even keep doing that? Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole writing thing and I plan to keep it going. Still, I notice a shift in the voice of my ongoing torture of the english language and it just so happens to be intersecting with a creative void. Ideas I had set in stone just a month ago have gone and evaporated and now I don’t know what will come to pass.
Maybe some schooling will help clear that. Yup, I’m doing the whole continuing education thing over at the School of Visual Arts; to enhance my personal and professional toolkit, to explore my own psyche a bit, to meet some new faces in the metro area, but mainly just to get out of the damn apartment a few more nights each week. The courses in question are Flash and Illustration Basics.
You better believe I’ll eventually subject you all to my works, but at this point I think some of you might actually like the things I make. Seriously, what’s wrong with you sick freaks?
Anyway, at least I’m doing this all with a relatively clean bill of health. Last night I finally made use of the health insurance I worked so hard to get. I’m trying hard to take care of myself and starting the annual physical ritual is a decent place to start. I’m even considering doing something for my mental health and seeking out a head shrinker — I’ve had a lot of shit from my childhood that I’ve been “dealing” with and I think it best to unravel as best I can before I move onto the next phase of my life. Besides, if it’s covered by my health insurance then why not?
So in summation of my situation: same as it ever was.

“You better believe I’ll eventually subject you all to my works…” Eventually is the key word. Very ambiguous. Could be soon, could be, ummmm, never.
And what fun would it be for me if I didn’t keep you guys waiting (and waiting)? Besides, at least I’m giving back to the society in some minor, insignificant and self serving way. That will have to count for something in the great tally of human events, right?
It’s too damn early for commenting. Talk to me after lunch when my brain finally wakes up.
is your brain awake yet? the thing that sucks, is you know that the few loyal readers you have will drink it up like they haven’t had water in a millenium!!! just call me an impatient reader because i feel i should have been shown some flash no later than LAST WEEK! this is completely unacceptable and i will be back tomorrow (and the next day and the day after that and…) until i see something dancing around on this site.
