    I finally got around to joining deviantart.com, the site where thousands of professional & ameteur artists put me to shame daily.  I decided it was time to get some things going on the art end of things.  I wanted to use this to inspire and motivate me.  There is a lot of neat stuff over there, and I all of it makes me want to work harder to create some neat stuff.  I would also like to learn the art of photoshop brush creation and would like to post what I make on there for others to use.

    Here's my profile:

    I haven't really posted here lately.  I've been too busy.  I am in one of those states where I zone out when I get home.  Things are such a mess that I can't focus on them.  The cabin is a mess.  I still don't feel comfortable doing stuff out there.  If it would fucking warm up a bit, I could sleep out there and really make it my home, but it's been too cold lately.  Then, the room in the trailer I have been sleeping in is just piled with all my clothes from when we moved.  I finally got those cleaned up Friday.  It's such a relief to have at least one thing starting to get organized.  I had to wash all my clothes, though.  Somehow an entire bag of dog food got spilled and mixed into my clothes tubs during the move.

    We don't even have a dog.

    Organization is huge for me though.  I just feel depressed and lethargic when my room is a mess.  It's even worse now because all my belongings are split between to buildings, and one of them is regularly submitted to sub-zero temperatures. Bleh.

    I am thinking about giving up drinking soda again.  I really splurge and over drink.  I just can't even limit myself to one a day.  It's all or nothing, I suppose.  So, I will probalby stop again.  Tonight I drank grapefruit juice.  I really like grapefruit juice.  Lindsey would probably think I am crazy for liking it, since she knows that I HATE sour stuff, but I like this juice.  She's the one who likes sour things.  I know juice can be just as bad as pop, as far as sugar & stuff goes, but I don't crave juice or drink too much of it.  I think it could help me get rid of my gut; so I'm quitting.  Lindsey and I need to start working out as well.  I'm getting old & fat.

    I have been teaching myself a lot more lately.  Over January, I learned the basics of PHP & MYSQL tables, great stuff to know for creating dynamic websites such as this one.  I also started reading a great book about programming MUDs with C++.   I have messed with installing pre-built MUDs and customizing them, but creating my own would be awesome. It's also teaching me a lot about network programming.  I hope to complete one of the first basic programs in the book by creating a chat room later this week.  Then I can hopefully adapt that to a Flash/PHP version I could use on the web.    It's pretty exciting stuff.

    Valentines Day went very well, although our food got cold because it was one of two of the coldest days that week.  I was too nervous/excited to eat.  I cooked chicken fetuccini alfredo.  That was my first time cooking anything with chicken, fetuccini or alfredo in it.  It was okay, I guess.  I had stayed up all day after I got off work getting ready, but it was worth it.   Lindsey seemed to enjoy herself and that's all that mattered.  We watched Pride & Prejudice(the newer movie version), and cuddled.  I pretty much dozed off the moment it started.  Lindsey was sick, so she was tired too. :)   She seemed to like the video I made her.  I was extremely nervous because it wasn't overly romantic, but intended more to be funny.  She didn't laugh much, but she did smile a lot.

    Lindsey got a Dell Inspiron with Windows Vista!  I am so jealous.  It has like a 17" screen or something ridiculously big like that.  The picture is great and the Media Center features are sweet!  Anyway, just a side note.
