The party wasn't quite as horrible as I thought it was going to be. You get enough beer in the equation, and anything is fun, I guess. Thankfully Mr. Bryan J. Polk stopped by and saved me from the conversations I would have had to have otherwise with the...

Boy, did last night suck. It was Alan's 21st, so I volunteered to take him out to dinner, and pay, of course. We had plans set up, but he wanted to go to the DMV and get his license updated first. It was about 4:30, so I figured he'd be home by 5:30,...

Last night was a lot of fun. I went out with a few of the guys I knew from Iona... Andrew and Shep. We saw Zoolander, which was hilarious, and then went out to eat at Steak 'n Shake. We talked about 3D animation, Flash, and web development. Andrew's...

I got one trick or treator last night... a ninja. If my cup was half empty, I would say that all my candy went to waste. But, my cup is half full, and the bright side is that I have a bunch of candy I can eat by myself. Fabish took me to Hometown Buffet...

I am so bad at being a salesman. I am really, really horrible. I should get on the phone right now and call up my potential clients and bug them for work. I should make little memos and send them out in the hopes of landing a few more jobs. I just can't...

Ah... How's things, world? I am good and getting better every day. The weekend was good. I was all geared up on Friday to sit back and watch some of the scary movies they were playing on Encore, but Fuller called and asked me to Gorman's. I went, and...

Guess who has 2 monitors again? I do, I do.

It has come to my attention that people suck. Thank you. Anyway, last night I went out with Fabish and KJ to Gorman's, who were having $.50 drafts for some reason. Sure, the cups were small and plastic, but they were also $.50. We spent the first half of...

It's been an uneventful few days. Ah well, such is life, sometimes. Things are going well for me, though. This freelancing thing is great, and I am making some fat cash. My one big client is a guy named Dave. I'm working on the graphics for a site called...

I've been trying to get this job for a long, long time. It's a CD for schools in California. It's a big project, and I could really use the money. I didn't think I stood a chance in hell of getting it, but applied on a whim and sent them my webpage...

So, I'm doing this webpage for a local band and was on a quest to find a good, cheap host for him to use. In the process, I found an awesome one. They even have price freeze, which means that when I sign up, that's all they'll even charge me... my rate can...

Tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of my Live Journal experience. I've never had such a detailed account of an entire year before. I've spent the last few nights reading through all the entries, seeing where I was a year ago and comparing it to where I...

I had a funnish night last night. I went out to a few bars with Fabish, KJ, and Callahan. I ran into quite a few people I knew, and I drank beer. That's all it takes for me to have a good time. I sent out a bill to one of my clients. I am having a stellar...

So I was checking over my finances and comparing them to what I owe and what I expect to be coming in, and I actually had some cash to burn. Sure, I could have been responsible and saved it, but what fun is that? Instead I ordered a bunch of books from...

So, I saw the big show last night, and it was awesome. Saturday was a fun day all around. My sister was having an open house, so friends and family were invited over. I spent most of the day talking to Robert's friends from college, who I sort of knew and...

I've spent the last few days working my ass off on these few projects I have going. It's so, so nice to be making money again. It's been too long. I made a few more cold calls to different companies begging for work. I got some interest generated. I guess...

I went in to get my haircut today, and as I sat in the chair the lady asked me 2 questions. 1. It's been a while since you got your haircut, huh? and 2. Who did your highlights? I had to laugh at the second question. I explained that I dyed my entire...

I've been watching the news for the past few minutes, and of course they're describing the attacks on Afghanistan. All I have to say is "GO USA!" They showed some footage of "protestors" in Afghanistan. They looked so sad and tired and defeated. I almost...

You heard me. Before this blasted thing was crashing every time I tried to do anything even slightly processor intensive. With a freelancing job, pretty much everything I do is processor intensive. I figured it was an overheating problem so I went in...

I am now a freelance illustrator. Before, I was just a freelance multimedia designer. But not anymore. Now I'm a freelance illustrator. I got a job drawing "gag gifts", like whoopie coushins and shock buzzers and stuff. I'm sure all guys will remember...
