"You know I can't live my life, working no 9 to 5, no matter what they say - I'm DOING IT MY OWN WAY

About Me

So I haven't re-written my profile in some time, and I feel it's time for a change so, so here it goes. I turned 92 back in August and I've made a lot of changes since then. I've also along the way realized quite a few things about life and living it. Those who you think are you friends really AREN'T and the one's you least expect to help you in your time of need will surprise you. People come and people go, but the one's that really matter can be counted on one hand. Family is the most important along with god and they are both very special to me. I realize that life is short and to make the most of it. I'm over the trivial nonsense of false friendships and the pitfalls of life. I just want to settle into being who I really am and enjoying each day as it comes. I've for once decided to take charge of my life and make changes for the better.
Of course many of you will probably read this and think "Uh oh what's happened to him now" but in fact things have changed for the better and continue to do so. I'm focused on my family, my career and my car. Sometimes, I look at everything I have and smile and know how lucky I am. Yeah life sometimes can get you down but is it all really that bad? I don't think so.
I feel it happening inside me, the change, the growth, the AWAKENING. I'm no longer intrigued by little trivial things or impressed by things that really don't matter. I know now it's all about me and who I am and what I'm capable of. I know I can do it, I know I can succeed. It's all in my mind and I refuse to let anyone or anything stand in my way. Everything happens for a reason and everything that is supposed to happen WILL!
Yeah I'm still the same fun loving character inside, I just know now what I really want and how hard I have to work to get it. No, I'm not perfect nor will I ever be, however at the very least I can look back on things and say "I tried" and "I gave it my all!"
....

My Interests

Anything related to art. Painting, drawing, sculpture and so forth. There is no bad art. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Music is my life and my passion. I love my drum and bass and it consumes my thoughts. I desire to make it, play it and listen to it every opportunity I get. Design.... well there's a big one. I eat sleep and breathe it. Web design, multimedia design, print and more - I do it all and I feel I'm getting pretty damn good at it.

I'd like to meet:

i just want to meet real people! People who have values and morals and are kind hearted and true to what they believe in. I so much just want to meet that good group of people that take care of their friends and cherish them. People who would do anything to help their friends out or back them up. I just hope that I kind find these people as I venture through life!

25 Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer (In no particular order)

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
6. You consider meals interruptions.
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word "final" in any file name when saving.
8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.
13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.
16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
17. The amount of words you’ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you’ve read in novels.
18. You’ve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasn’t part of the deal.
19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)
21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.
23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.
25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.

Oh and just a little FYI... I bring the Golden Ticket (inquire within girls)

Music:

A little bit of EVERYTHING but hugely into all forms of electronic music...No, if you know me you know it's not a serious statement although it is my passion. I truly believe that if one is wanting to succeed with music you must be truly DIVERSE and appreciate everything for it's artistic value and creativity!

Movies:

Wow that's a hard question. It would probably be easier to name movies I don't like. Let's see - Horror for one, especially the low budget B films made in a shoebox. Sc-Fi is also a top priority as is Anime and Japanesse live action flicks. Anything with old Jet Li is always sick, at least his pre-american stuff anyways.Probably the only thing I don't go for is sappy romance flicks or Drew Barrymore type movies with no storyline and/or substance.Classics like SCARFACE, GODFATHER, RESIVOIR DOGS, and CASINO are watched almost regularly.I also thoroughly enjoy watching the bonus discs with dvd's for deleted scenes, making of movies and alternate endings.Let's just say when I walk into the movie store they know me by name - that's how often I'm in there.Somehow I always find a way to watch a few flicks a week. Movies are great to pull samples from - someone say TIMESTAMP?

Television:

Seinfeld - even though it's on dvd. Anything on Discovery Channel because it rocks! I always watch VS for UFC baby!

Heroes:

My mother and God.
