Well, the past few weeks have been pretty interesting and now things are finally getting settled. My words of advice are to not try to put too many things all in a short time period and still expect to get them all done. *smile* Although I always seem to work best on deadlines, it's not cool to place those with my personal life.
At least now the car is getting fixed and will be done tomorrow and I will be starting some new training with Jesse Sandifer from Green Grass Studios. We had the chance to meet Jesse at the last ZBrush UG meeting and he was really a wonderful person to speak with. Very down to earth and he appeared to be an artists artist. So needless to say I have started working on some of my ZBrush work and trying to get more experience in the application. Given some time, I will be posting some images of my progress and new creations as I move forward.
In other events on the home front, I found out that one can fix a washing machine with some twine, wax and patience LOL. Yes, it seems that I'm a regular MacGyver with some of these things when it comes to being able to save $50 + parts. Seriously though, the twine cost nothing and neither did the wax. Soooo, the end result was that laundry got done and I spent nothing to repair the washing machine. Seems like a win, win situation don't you think? Now for the kicker... as I used the last of the laundry detergent on the second load I realized that the OTHER bottles were in the car (Ack!) Now I have to wait until tomorrow to finish anyway. LOL, how's that for a kick in the pants?
Enough modeling and rambling for tonight. One more smoke and a puppy run before I'm off to bed. I hope that you all have a great time and look for some updates coming when time permits.

Finally doing it!
Well, I've been pretty busy these past few weeks and getting things cleaned up, throwing out a lot of unwanted stuff and packing up what remains to prepare for leaving this place once and for all. Don't get me wrong, Dallas is fun. I really just can't wait to make that move to the next step in my life and to see things unfold as they have in the past month.
Wow! It's only been a month. It really seems like so much longer than that. I've considered moving to Ft. Worth and have been keeping in mind a REALLY beautiful place downtown Dallas. ( Corinthian Bed and Breakfast ) I've had plans for this place for quite some time and although I know what I would love to do, I just have to be patient. I don't know, my mind has been all over the place recently and in a good way. Just feeling my heart and spirits lift when I see her. Since I know that there's a chance she'll read this I can't say the things that I've been thinking really. ;) Suffice it to say that every time I see her I never want it to end.
A lot of people have asked me too "Do you believe that this is the right one?" Well, to that all I can say is the times we're together I feel like everything stops around us. I'm oblivious to anyone and anything else while I'm with her. The ideals we share are very much the same, our music tastes, movies (Ok, so it doesn't include the really good horror flicks LOL!) I think that being two very artistic people we share a deep passion for our varieties in self-expression and that's a huge plus! We're both very passionate, affectionate, loving and I feel as if we've known each other for years. What more can I say?
Everything couldn't be better and feel more right. I wish the best for all of those who are looking for the right one for them and hope you find that one as I was able to.

First post for the New Year of 2010
Hey, hey!!! I know it's been quite a while, but so many things have been going on that I haven't had time to blog really at all. Sooooo... LOL, let's get started on this roller-coaster and see what's been going on.
Well, most of you know that I've been working pretty hard and keeping things going great. I can't complain in the least with how things have worked out. I've learned a great deal about myself in the past few months (Awsome! SAW is on Syfy!) and I've been slowly chipping away at my animation / film short. Along the way I've wandered from the film / animation due to real life events, but I have hopes that I can get the animation going again once I get settled in to the new apartment. Yes, I've finally found that living in the place that I'm at isn't really isn't going to be a place of creativity as I had once thought. So what about this new place?
The new apartment is really quite nice and more spacious than the one I'm in with almost 400 sq ft more while almost $20.00 cheaper. It doesn't sound like much, but the new place has a fireplace and washer / dryer connections. Finally no more runs to the public laundromat and listening to strange people asking me if I know that Satan is going to steal my sole (yep, live in an awsome area LOL!)
Short of the apartment, I've also met one of the most amazing ladies that I've ever had the chance of getting to know. *sigh* I don't know what to say and that's pretty rare for me LOL.... I was getting pretty settled in for the long haul of just me, my kids and work when all of a sudden I met the most intense, passionate, giving, talented and beautiful lady. I never thought that two people could have this much in common, nor have the same level of love for art, family and friends.
Yes, I'm sitting here smiling just thinking about all the various emotions and how I feel like everything stops when she's there. It's the most amazing feeling to be so in love with someone and still want to be consumed with every breath and touch. I'm a very lucky person to have met such a person and I'm doing my best to take it slow so we can enjoy our time together. Perhaps this is the best way to build a great friendship / relationship... LOL, I know I'm no expert on that subject by any means, but I believe that she's the best person for me.
I'll try to post after the move and see how things go!
