Friends always offer the best advice.

Me: I really need to do something about my money situation...I am $40 in the hole in my checking account...plus the $2000 credit card bill.

Derek: I tell ya Mike, you need to get into porn.

This, by the way, is the 17th time my friend Derek told me to go into porn to fix my money situation. I...

First all, thanks for the nice birthday comments. I will get to responding to them.

I had to work on my birthday (which always sucks), but friends from work took me to dinner afterwards. Twas very nice.

The day after, my sister gave birth to my niece Katie. She lives Iowa, so I probably won't get a chance to see her unless I get Sunday...

I think it is time to get a little realistic here...

I am turning 23 tomarrow. I have a bachelors. Yet, I am earning less than $400 a month. Why?

I hate to say it, but this art test kicked my ass.

I got through the Photoshop part and the model sheet part just fine...but the Maya part was disaterous...ironically too.

It was simple...build a low poly man, rig it, walk cycle, and light it. But everything just went wrong. The first rig failed on me...so I had to redo it. The second worked fine,...

I was hoping that my next entry was going to have good news...but I don't.

Well, anyways, I might as well tell you. I had my first job interview on Tuesday. It was for a cell phone game company downtown. The company is only about 12 people, but they make some big named titles (Splinter Cell and they are working on Sim City as well)....

Things have been slow...now they seem to be moving fast. Lets hope for the best.

So much to do...so little time.

Not really explanitory, I know. I will explain in a couple days...hopefully with some very good news.
