About Me
Hi, I'm Tim. I don't know why you're here, but its probably because you know me from real iife somehow. If you do know me in real life, you can feel free to skip this boring and egotistical about page. If you don't know me, you can feel free to read on although I'm not sure why you'd want to.
I'm a self-employed website designer and developer, but I dream of turning my web development business into an illustration business. My ultimate goal is to draw monsters and robots all day, every day. However, I've been checking the classifieds for the past 15 years or so and have yet to come across any jobs that fit my criteria. Until I get lucky enough to live that dream, I am pounding away at website development.
But please don't think I'm only into stuff like the internet and design. I'm also into equally nerdy but less computer-y things, like horror films and building stuff out of wood. I'm probably involved in too many projects, and I constantly have ideas for "the next big thing", which never really turn out to be a big thing at all.
I live in Peoria, Illinois with my wonderful wifey and our 2 wonderful dogs. And life is good.
Life in General
Submitted by Tim Wasson on Fri, 11/20/2009 - 21:32Well, life is barreling on and getting better every day.
Unfortunately a new job I landed will prevent me from talking too much about my freelancing career. I am a new blogger over at Freelance Folder, which I am very excited about. That means I am currently paid for my input regarding Apple products and freelancing, which if you think about it, is pretty insane. I am close to having to consider myself close to a freelance writer in addition to designer.
So, the blog that no one reads (the one you're reading right now) is having to cut out all work-related type posts. I guess I could still post about personal stuff, like saying that work is so crazy busy right now that I can't keep up, but the timing couldn't be better. I'm trying to stay sane amongst the chaos of work and, for the most part, I am. I do get stressed out, but how stressful of a life can I be leading when I started every day last week with a cup of hot chocolate and a round of Mario Kart?
London plans are still moving along at a pretty decent clip. Due to the mutt and the quarantine, we're looking at late April or early May before we can make the trip. While it's still not 100% certain, it's getting more certain every day. The wifey and I dream of spending our first anniversary in a foreign country, maybe sipping wine in France or Italy and celebrating our great life together.
I do wish I had a little more free time. The bike refinishing project is stuck now with no extra time for me to get around to it and I always have several other projects I want to tackle. I'll get to everything, ya know, eventually.
