 woot, the accursid year of 2007 is over, and we can begin anew again!  allready things are going well!  B.C. graphics (the company i work for in baltimore) has obtained 8 new clients within the first few days of the newyear!  huzzah!!  as for new years resolutions, i dont have any per-se, but i have a few carrer goals... i was looking on the bethesda softworks website (a gaming comany that i have admired for many years, and was even privilaged to have worked for them for a while), is looking to hire some level designers. this post is not a new one, meaning they are always looking and or are short staffed... and from what i have read on what they are working on requires a greater staff then what they currently have.  so i have been working on learning skills in 3d studio max, and their level editing program so i can gain a portfolio, and possibly work for them... i am also revising an old D&D campagin, to possibly make in their game engine, because it would work better on paper.

 I have also been rereading The Hobbit, after obtaining the special collectors edition for christmas (thanks mom and dad!!)  and this has given me much inspiration in rewriting my campaign, and bucking up my skills, in 3d studio max, and the TES Construction set.  I have also been watching the stargate series (again thanks mom and dad)  and have just finshed season 3... if nothing else, this is giving me some vauge (this is "bad" tv after all) perspective, on what my campaigns might contain, in either culture, or gods, or whatever...

as for the rest of my life it goes well... Sean is down at Tia's for a week, and while i will miss him, it means less intirruptions in my studying (though the intirruptions are  not always unwelcome...) 
 Dan and Eric just left, and we had a nice long talk on the porch just talking about everything going on in all of our lives.  i am feeling much better now that i can finally socialize with them and not veiw their coming over as an annoyance (or rather a distraction from my work).... not only that, but they are doing a wonderful job at cleaning up when they leave these past few times!

anywho... i am gonna think about bed....  its about that time... but (for once) i am not tired!

unsettleing [Dec. 24th, 2007|10:38 pm]
[Current Location |Parents house]
[mood | distressed]
[music |none]

right... so today has been a decent enough day,  but something occurred earlier that has both me and one of my roomates a bit worried...
last night we had our friends over at the apartment, which is always nice.  but the only thing that was not so nice was the mess left... it wasnt terrible, but still, it means we get to clean it up.   This both annoyed both Sean and I.  and we were talking about how we need to talk with our friends the next time, about cleaning up a bit better.... now admittedly sean was particularly annoyed, and was saying what he would LIKE to say, and while i know he wouldnt actually say it in that way when the time comes, he was still just blowing off steam... well Pat came in and we were saying that we should talk with them when we see them next.  well obviously we must have either been misinterpreted, or said something at a bad time, but Pat became particularly snappy, saying that they did clean up the worst, and that he had cleaned up the rest.  and while it is true that pat did indeed help pick up some of the trash earlier, all you had to do was look out on the deck to see clear evidence, of some of the beer bottles of the previous night.  he then proceeded to say that our friends dont enjoy coming here anymore, because we bitch at them to clean up a bit better.  

while i can certianly see this occuring (we have told them off several times)  we also get pissed when they still leave a mess...  this also is a bit odd for pat to say this, because he is always the one complaining about them coming over for monday night football for unimportant games, which basically makes it so that he sits in his room, i sit in mine, sean in his and the guys watch football till they get board, and then decide to play a game on either the cube or PS2.  this also usually means that there is trash left behind... trash that i have to take out.... now i dont mind taking out the trash.... especially now that the dumpsters are right next to our building...  but when we asked them to take the trash out (we do on rare occasions) they (our friends) looked a bit put off by our request.

anywho.... to make a long story short (too late). for some reason we somehow set pat off... of which we are both sorry (we both talked it over and are were not intending to piss him off).  so pat, if you check your lj, and read this, I just wanted to know what we did, or said to set you off, so we a). can resolve the issue better. and b). not have this happen again...  i dont like to see my friends upset.  again this is also how we precieved this part of the story, and if there is a part that we are missing, please fill me in so we can resolve this better.

otherwise, i hope everyone has a good christmas/holiday and such!

Steve

right... so for now my voice is still shot.... this cold has been a long one.. .i just want it gone... 

i am also a bit worried right now. Bill and Joe are having problems with their business.... as in they arent getting any... there are lots of 'potential' clients... but no one is coming and acutally purchasing drawings.
so this is a community call out (not that i have that big of a community to call out to)  but if you or anyone you know needs architectural drawings then PLEEASE go to B.C. Graphics inc. in baltimore and have them do your architectural drawings!
if you wanna find out more about them. go to www.bcgraphicsinc.com

help them out!

i suppose i had better get ready to go to class now... not that i feel like it... but the students finals are due monday.... so today is thier last day for help.

I just saw the new star wars movie... lucas.... i dont want my 10 bucks back... this time its well deserved... what a good movie... even though i knew what would be happening. it was mondo cool, and seeing as how its 3:00am i wont be long, or give spoilers, and while i hate to say it... George Lucas has basically redeemed himself... mind u the only way to fully redeem himself is to toss that piece of shit phantom menace in the garbage can and start over again from scratch... otherwise it was well worth it.

[music |Trigun: Sound Life]

I look at myself. i look at the world... i get angry... i get angry at people when they constantly yell at me because i havent finished something yet.... mostly because they forget i have other things to do then just please them. i am tired of the constant need to try to balance everything and not do a complete halfass job. i want to be able to drop some things, and let them go. but i dont have much of a choice. yes i know i have some valuable skills, especially in the computer field, and i know there are about a million computer clients out there... and another million people who want me to do video editing stuff for them.... like i have the free time... i have free time to edit 4 different video projects, work on my flash movie, photoshop project, laramie project, build a bear, a social life, repair computers, and then care for myself... i am lucky if i get to eat in a morning, because i have to rush about trying to collect my stuff for clients, because i was too tired to do it the night before... i mean i like what i do... i enjoy everything i just listed, but its a matter of time... and distractions... if there werent sooo many distractions, i would be fine... but there are lots of them... the phone, my body, people, the net, this lj.... i am tempted to just lock myself in a room with no net connection, phone, or any way to be contacted, and then possibly get some work done... but when could i achive this amazing feat? tomorrow? i think not... the next possible day would be.... i cant even forsee one in the future.... unless i can find someone to cover my shift at build a bear this friday... oh wait... the designer run.... no day works! ok.. then my saturday shift.... lol like thatll ever work... who would wanna take a saturday shift at build a bear. yea right!

well anyways... i am off to go figure out what to do

Summer loss? [Mar. 28th, 2005|09:56 pm]
[mood | artistic]
[music |Night and day]

Is the summer a complete loss? no i dont think so anymore... i was thinking this over, and it would be nice to have my summer free.... i dont know about what i would do exactly... but i dont think i will do a show... i plan on takeing a few classes in computer graphics, and that should be fun... and i also want to just feel summer again... i miss summer nights...

ooooh you know what would be fun, that i have talked about with some friends... well two of my friends (jim and mike if you must know) own a big house that used to be the old manor here... for a while we have talked about how great it would be to have a party.... well we could arrange a 1930's theme party... we could have lots of period music, and the guys could come in tuxes, and the girls in fancy ballgowns...

i will have to call them up and see what they think!

I weep [Mar. 16th, 2005|10:06 pm]
[mood | disappointed]
[music |The Phantom of the Opera: The Phantom of the Opera]

I weep at the loss of the summer... when i say this i weep because the show that would make this summer decent has been changed... it was supposed to be damn yankees... supposed to.... but because arena stage is doing it this december, they wouldnt give us the rights... so they change the show... but thats not the dissapointing part... the replacement show is annie get your gun. i realize that they couldnt get the rights to damn yankees... but all i ask is that you replace a good show with a good show... not a bad nastytacular show.

well i am off to go weep some more...

[music |theme music from Clue]

well mom and dad have tootled off to florida, which leaves the house to me! this is a nice break, where i can finally get my life back in order without interruptions... i have just put the finishing touches on my script for my animation class, and i have just sat down to watch clue. even though i have to get up earlyish tomorrow i felt that clue would finish off tonight just right. something whitty, funny, and with the random ending on it means there is an element of suprise! and tomorrow i will go into class get some more animation done, and then go home, where i will have the house to myself.... now th real question is what to do? i mean i have all this time now that the show is over; and while i have some tasks to comlete, none of them are time essential. so in essence i have nothing to do for once.... and let me tell you; if mom and dad think that going to florida is a vacation, i consider being at home by myself a much better vacation....i have all of my friends with me, all of my posessions, and a 42 inch plasma screen tv with a limitless selection of dvd's and no one to tell me that they dont want to watch that... it dosent get much better... well i suppose it could if there was a nice man; but you cant have everything. so i am off to watch clue, and then off to bed

good day [Dec. 16th, 2004|11:54 pm]
[mood | relaxed]
[music |Bill Bryson: A Walk in the Woods]

I had a really good day. it started off with me getting up at around 9, and going down to finish off the critic. then i played world of warcraft, and tried out a new spell. went off to the party, picked up sher, and chatted with her. had fun at the party, and planned the possible lord of the rings extended edition party. then i went off and did some shopping... well i didnt acutally buy any gifts as i had planned... i bought some festive D&D dice, and called it a day. came home, had dinner, and then relaxed in the newly repaired hot tub with eric. this lovely trip into steaming hot water, helped relax a muscle in my calf, that after a charlie horse on monday was still hurting me. the pain is now at a minimal. then eric and i went and played world of warcraft together, and then sat down and watched the critic. now i am off to finish up an art project for class tomorrow, go get a skimpy amount of sleep, and toodle off to work tomorrow morning.

OOOOWWWWW [Dec. 15th, 2004|04:35 pm]
[mood | grumpy]
[music |Bill Bryson: A walk in the woods]

ooooowwwww it hurts....
in spite of what you may think, charlie horses can hurt for days after. for example; monday i had a particularly nasty one in my right calf, when getting into my work clothes. on wednesday (today) it still is causing me agony. the muscle is very sore, and ibuprofen is not helping the situation. i just got out of a nice warm bath so it hurts slightly less, but it is still a very painful leg to walk on. on top of that all my other muscles are sore from dragging hundreds of pounds of clothing and accesories for furry, stuffed animals. I am not getting paid enough for this.

on another note, i am now very tired from the 2 consecutive days of getting up on very little quantities of sleep... but i am sleeping in tomorrow.

but today was nice because i was able to get some christmas shopping done, and actually get some presents under the tree.

anyways i am off... to raid the larder... i am staaaarvin

Quiz [Dec. 14th, 2004|08:06 pm]

[music |World of Warcraft: Duskwood]

oh yea a cool quiz



You Are an Old Soul





You are an experience soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.

You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul

[mood | restless]
[music |World of Warcraft: Moonfall]

Ok to get back to updating this on a regular basis; I am now a student at Montgomery College, I work at build a bear workshop, and i have just been cast as Mr. Bumble in Oliver.

Right now the simester is coming to a close, and i am beginning to look at what classes to take next simester... i am beginning to lean more towards computer graphics. i want to learn to do 3D modeling for in game landscapes, and characters, so i am trying to find the appropriate classes.

then there is work. I dont know how many of you have worked retial during the holidays... well here is my advice: Don't. the mall is open wierd hours (honestly who is up at 7 am on a saturday to shop?). we get in large shipments of merchendise (more then our stockroom can hold) and the people are rude because they are under holiday stress.

Not only have I reached the state called retail burnout; where new items dont hold a huge amount of appeal anymore; but i have exams going on. To be fair they arent too bad. the hardest one is voice and diction, and that is memorising a monolouge that i like and reading it in a funny way out loud. no big deal. my computer class is a breese... considering i got a 105% on the midterm! and jazz was just us dancning.

now i mostly worry about what i am doing next year. I dont know about you, but college's need to rething their having an application for the fall simester in by jaunuary... i am busy with classes, work and shows to go look at schools, fill out tedious forms, and then write an essay! If they set the date to a reasonable time... oh i dont know say.. march, then it would make the whole process less stressfull.

Anyways i think ia m going to go take a nice warm bath! gnight!
