Hi, everyone. I know it's been a long time sins I made one of these. as a matter of fact, I can't remember the last journal I made.
You might be wondering about the title. so I will just explain.
as many of you may or may not know I went back to one of my old retail jobs. It was tolerable at first but due to the desition of upper management. { the district manager.} and some other lackluster fellow employees. The job became more stress filled and more and more of draining on my mental wellbeing and my fiscal health. I ended up getting stomick and digestive problems as a result. Because I was a dependable and reliable employee I more work was asked of me and I would have to pick up the slack of some of the lazy employees. { I will not go into details but my manager agreed, they were lazy and bad. }
the only reason I stuck with that job was to pay for my art clas's I was taking. I didn't want to have student loans hanging over my head. Even if I was to get some grants that would still not cover my classes. so I was paying out of my own pocket. Three months of work would pay for one art class. just a couple of months into 2017 they decided to transfer my manager out to another store. To anyone reading this you would think this was a good thing but the truth was I liked my manager. Yes, she would piss me off sometimes but I respected her and was grateful she had hired me back. I will also say she was tuff but fair. Well after she left things took a now's dive at that place and I know what was coming on the horizon. Mainly a remodel of the hole store and store inventory. Also, I hird a lot of other employees planned to quit. which meant more work to be put on me.
Back in May, I made up my mind that I was going to quit. Yet luck would have it, one of my teachers was able to get me an art job making 3D assets for an apps company. Everything ended up going so fast. { they wanted me the day after my interview so I was not able to give my two weeks to for my old place. Its something I felt bad about after getting upset at everyone else that would just leave at my old job} I could not believe I was no doing this. I was also working with guys that got my jokes and like the same shows as I did. { We would Qouts Rick and Morty all the time. }
rather than come right on here and start posting art again I wanted to take the time to get to some of the things that have been on my to-do list for the last three or so years.
like fully organize my computer. you might not think that is so bad but I had over 5 TB of picks, vids, and link on my computer to sort.
not only that but I wanted to work on somethings around the house and at my grandmother's. It felt good to finally take these things and have the money to get supplies.
now sadly some good things must come to an end. In this industry, you work from contract to contract and project to project and around November the project wrapped up. I'm still contracted with the company for the next two month but if there is no project then there is nothing for me to work on. So in a sense, I'm out of work for now. All is not lost there is some hope. they are trying to bid on some more projects so me and my buddies can have something to work on. I'm hoping they will get it before the end of this month or by the start of next month. Till then I'm trying to make the most of my time and motivate my self to work on stuff. Brushing up my portfolio again and getting to that too do list. witch one of the things on there is to start posting my art again { i never stopped drawing. I just never had the energy to post it.} I just want to get somethings squared away first, so I don't have to deal with them again. if you know what I mean.
wow, this ended up being longer then I wanted it to but I just wanted to fill all of you in. let you know I'm not dead and I'm wanting to get back to this place.
Here is hoping things pick up work-wise and I'm able to get back on track on with stuff.

long over do updat
This is a long over do post, Something I have wanted to do for months now but just have not had the time ore had to push it back in favor of other things.
sorry i have not been around as much. I would like to say thats going to change but sadly i’m not sure about that just yet.
At the start of this year 2016 I took a semester off from school.
mostly because the class I wanted to take was full and I needed to save for a new car.
I had hoped to take the time to get somethings dun like polish some work in my portfolio. Sadly that did not happen.
My grandmother ended up getting really sick and had to go to the hospital . It got to the
If I had a patreon page ?
Hi everyone. I wanted to ask all of my fans out there
If I had a patreon page would any off you support it ?.
I'm asking B/c I've herd others talk about it and asked that their fans help support them. looking on the patreon's sight I think i have an idea of how it works.
Don't worry that i'm going to start asking for money. With my work lode and lack of free time, I doubt i would be able to offer up little much in the way of incentives or at least keep them up on a consistent bases.
It was just something I was curious about and wanted to ask you guys. My fans that hare still with me.
Right now I'm still trying to hold down two jobs an
a anotehr set baack.
Well just when I think i'm getting a head I'm forced to take two steps back. For months now I've been busting my but at my two jobs and still trying to get cot up on all the projects I'm doing.
I was forced to take this semester off from work after they moved my class to the one day I could not get off from work. That was a big set back but it gave me some time to breath as I worked on other things.
I was able to finest one of the games I was helping to work. The other game I'm working on is starting to get into the next faze. { the the faze where i should not need to draw any mor

Hi everyone its time for a another up date.
I wanted to get this out last night wen I was feeling over whelmed again but could not bring my self to right anything. Instead working on something I just trying to lear my head. I find myself with vary little free time and its really frustrating me. Everyone seems to be wanting my time and I'm getting little to no time too my self. Seems every time I think I'm going to have time to my self it gets taken away. As some of you know I when back to art college. I'm wanting to do well in the class and impress the teachers so they might recommend me and help me in for a job. The commute is long back a
