Weak and Light

posted January 17

When I came home today my Mom kept asking me what was wrong. I just told her that my teacher looked at my stuff and said I needed to work on my portfolio. She knew there was more to that, but I didn’t want to say.

The truth is that I think I’ve never felt so disheartened before….and the worst part is this is about my work that’s supposed to get me a job, that’s supposed to help provide me with a better life….and now I feel like that dream is disappearing.

My Little List

posted July 27

Hey everyone! I’m actually at my internship right now…wanted to update you all with what’s going on.

1. My first priority right now is getting my professional website and portfolio up and online. So that means designing, coding, and headaches coming my way very soon. Me? Professional? LOL right? Yeah well there’s a side to me that doesn’t include paper mario, hating people who don’t watch the office and making ugly facial expressions to scare people. I’m mature you know.
2. I’m starting my own design commission and photography business. That’s why I need to stop being lazy and get my website up. UGHH!
3. MY MOM COMES HOME FROM LEBANON TODAY!!! I’m so happy to see her :$ I wonder what she got me….HAHAHAH just kidding. Wait but really – what do you mean you didn’t bring me back anything, Mom?
4. Have you added me on twitter yet? God, you’re horrible. Do it now.
5. This is really creepy, I’m listening to one of Amy Winehouse’s songs. Awkward.
6. I plan to resume updating the site like I used too. I’m sure once I update once, I’ll keep the hang of it. Someone please threaten me, it’s kind of motivating. Unless it involves listening to Taylor Swift live, that’s just crossing the line.

And with that, I have some work to finish. I’m on my lunch break people, I’m not that irresponsible to be writing a blog while at work. Brb gonna watch the rest of my show and eat some brownies.

Being an Independent Designer

posted July 08

I’ve been keeping up with the Casey Anthony case: and let me just tell you guys I think that whole thing was a freakin’ circus. The jurors were a bunch of idiots, Casey Anthony is just a crazy woman and her defense team needs to be treated with every medication possible. Judging by their actions (one of the lawyers flicked off the media) it literally looked like she was being represented by a wannabe-gang from New York.

Aside from that, I’ve been keeping very very busy with my internship, work, and design commissions. I’m happy to say that I’m halfway through both my commissions (I wanna finish one before I go on my trip), and that online television has not taken over my life yet and caused me to lose any jobs. I’m gonna be honest though…this never happens to me but lately….I think….Oh damn, I’m just gonna say it.

The Day The Sky Turned Yellow

posted July 03

Maybe it’s just because Michigan is the land of the crybabies, dramatic weather, unemployment, and so much more (we’re all around award-winning, folks), but today I think we survived the apocalypse. That’s just my theory. Don’t take my word for it, but you know, I only survived it.

On top of living through what looked to be the last day on earth: THE SKY TURNED YELLOW! To those science major buffs, I know it’s probably all some kind of scientific crap, but did you forget that I open Photoshop for a living? The sky looking like a bad dye job isn’t exactly a normality in my daily routine. So when I go outside and the sky is yellow I’m not gonna be like,
“Oh, those are the particles bouncing off of the sun and creating the shade of color that we see now! What a lovely spectacle. Cherrio!”

I will be like this:
“OMG THE SKY IS YELLOW! HOLY SH@(*#(@# THE WORLD IS ENDING! AHHH MOMMMMYYY !!!!!! OMG SHES IN ANOTHER COUNTRY IM GONNA DIE ALONE!!!”

I went outside to THIS!

Sure it looked cool, but does anything that looks ‘cool’ in nature ever end well? I’m sorry but I don’t trust the atmosphere.
This morning it was so hot that they actually issued a heat stroke warning or something..basically to warn all the dumb people not to go outside, ride a bike or build a sandcastle because they might die from how hot and humid it is. I get to work and a few hours later it begins to storm like it’s literally the end of the world. I’m not even talking about a few bits of rain here and there, imagine Godzilla hadn’t used the bathroom in 10 years and took one on your city…and he was really pissed for some reason because he realized there was no toilet paper to be found. That was my experience. Eh.

After that huge violent storm, the sky turns so dark with lightning, and then the next thing I know the sky becomes yellow. Of course I freak out. What is going on? And don’t even get me started on the people who were like, “OMG THE STORM IS SO NICE! I LOVE LIGHTNING! HOW LOVELY!” because you all know what I think about those idiots. If I had a bat I’d take one to their rear-view mirror.

The sky better change back to its normal color by tomorrow or I’m moving. And why did it have to turn yellow, why not purple or something? Driving home I felt like I was living in a bag of buttered popcorn.

God was probably up there using Photoshop on the sky and forgot to remove that yellow fill multiply layer. HAHAHAHAHA I love being a nerd.
