My regular camera with the flash has no batteries. So I used my phone camera. This is my new Wolf Head I've been working on for Anti-toon. The white mane is pinned on and needs to be sewn on. He also needs his blue irises painted on as well.
I'm still working on a name. I REALLY don't want to use a corny typical name. Like wolfie, wolfen, or any similar wolf in the name. Suggestions are welcome. I'm very set on using Janek as his middle name. In tribute to my buddy who passed on.
Still unemployed. Still happy. Will apply to Cox tomorrow. | | |
| I am still currently unemployed. Had a mere 1 interview, didn't get the job. I'm able to easily pay the bills on unemployment, but not by much. I DO have plenty of savings now, but would prefer not to touch them.
I'm not certain i'll be moving out of state next year now.
As I have not fully put down any AZ options. In fact, I have restarted the band. And after a long talk with my new "right hand man" Richard, i'm even more excited about it than I was 4 years ago when I 1st started it.
If we stick to the new plan, finish my new costume, make his & mike's heads, we might just be able to get ourselves a drummer and show the AZ metal scene whats what! Mike is the Bass player.
However, i'm not putting moving out either. But considering i'm not at my savings goal of $3,000 and unemployed still, even at this rate who knows if I'll move or not.
Current plan is to wait for my new Social Security card (lost it 5 years ago) then head to Maricopa Workforce Connections in Mesa again and sign up. Maybe to get a grant or loan somehow to learn 3D design or some other art field that are definitely hiring here in AZ
However, I learned through my inside sources, 2 people from my past currently work for GoDaddy. These 2 people are not exactly on my friends list. And both have mentioned my name in recent past to my insider. So unfortunately, to save me ALOT of drama and bullshit, I will NOT be applying to GoDaddy.
I have some ideas to make extra cash though. and NO! Nothing like THAT! Pervert! Although, I'm still trying to figure ways to make some headway modeling.
I will have a new 2nd MySpace soon of my costume character for the band. I'll post it & details then.
Updates since originally writing this: Got SS Card, will be heading to workforce place next week. Wolf head (the new costume) currently under "eye surgery" As I did not like the way I did the eyes. Once done, i'll take pics. I'll be asking for name suggestions then. Iv'e also decided that the wolf's middle name will be Janek, in tribute the my buddy who passed away.

Please note the date on the photo. This photo was taken the Christmas before I moved here. I moved to AZ Dec 22, 1999. The other person is my brother. But the person on the left no longer exists. Hasn't existed since July 4th 2008. Thats when I went back to NJ and I left the last piece of that person back there. I love the person I have become. I am strong, proud and try to live by honor. But it is definitely my time to move on from AZ. Even richard, an AZ native, agrees with me about the people, their douchebag attitudes, etc I have saved $770 in just 3 weeks. Despite my only working part time. The part time hours were never a factor in my moving decision. But they were definitely the catalyist in getting the ball moving. A good portion of the CD collection is sold, plenty more to go. Got a few more random items to sell. And 30 - 50 outfits are given back to goodwill. I feel its not worth the effort to "nickel & dime" savings and ebay each item. I will start my research in moving locations soon. | | |
| So last week, I realize This December 22nd marks 10 years here in AZ I decided, its time to move. I am currently researching locations based upon: 1. job market 2. the scene 3. cost of living any suggestions out there for a graphic artist eith a 4yr BA and tons of exp? after deciding this, I also decided, after a bit of computer arrangement for backing up files Im going to sell the CD collection. and then... I found out this week, after deciding all that (but keeping it to myself) as of monday im only working part time. It MIGHT barely pay the bills but not food or gas. Im in overdrive looking for a 2nd job. Thats really about it though | | |
| Wow have I got stuff done in the past few days. My Grandparent's complete history & stories is finished. I burn all the copies tonight & Tomorrow. Considering his birthday is July 4th 3 audio cds... 180 minutes the 4th cd is the MP3s already burned. Made cd labels & cases too. Figure Fight has the basic framework of a web site up. although SOMEONE is supposed to email me his hosting info right Mr E? Its ok, but I really want the site to have some pizzaz this time. I'll work on it later For now, at least once a weekend Im planning on publically testing the game somewhere Ill be at the Game Depot tomorrow at 3 to close I have off for the holiday I have a mere 4 CDs left from ripping my CD collection. I havent heard alot of these in over 10 years. Sadly enough, I havent heard some at all.
Work is rather frustrating though. I am happy for my rate of pay & having a job. Especially after the company merging with another. But the production manager is pushing me extremely far There has been a few times it was very difficult to hold back. And i mean ALOT OF BLOOD would have been shed of his. My mother has been going all out to send out my resume to a new job. But its still really grim out there. I have high hopes. Besides, I know life is about to change completely anyway. I have still no idea how. But I know it is. | | |
