So, it’s been a little while since I last posted. I’ve been busy and lazy.
I’ve decided that I’m not going to post everyday. Currently I don’t have a whole lot going on, so my posts are short and boring.
instead, I’m going to do weekly posts summing up I’ve accomplished that week. Unless there is a large development, in which I will post about it.

So, to sum up last week:
I spent the most of my time last week watching tutorials and Flash. I’ve been studying it for a while now, but I’m really starting to understand how it works now. The language of coding isn’t all too difficult, it’s simply a matter of memorizing across different platforms. Anyway, I’m working on it and I’m going to begin building a Flash site just so I can implement the skills I’m learning and get them to sink in.

I got to act a short role in ‘The Free Box’. I’ve now been involved in two shoots for the web series (I’m leading my camera equipment) and may be building a site for them too.

I’m waiting to hear back from Lukas about his website. I showed him what I’d come up with and left him with a screen shot to change as he wanted. As soon as I hear back from him I can get back to work and make it look how he wants it to. At that point I will have my first professional site done, meaning I will be professional web developer (I’m getting paid). The Ryan Dain site I’ve been working on is coming together nicely and will soon have all the back end PHP work done. So, in a couple weeks (when Mike returns from Alaska) I’ll be able to see the site function as it should. Then we need to get all the content in and set up a payment system. The site will be kinda awesome! it’s really nicely laid out and the functionality is clean, so far.

And of course, I’ve been practicing bass. I’m going to be trying out to play for Ryan Dain. I’m Going back and doing music theory lessons on line to get all my modes and scales down. I’ve always kinda known them, but know I’m forcing all this into my head so that I’m not just playing by feel anymore. I want to be knowledgeable about music. Also, I’m doing some picking exercises to increase my accuracy and speed. It’s going to probably sneak up on me, so I want to be as ready as possible. If I get it my life is going to take a huge change of direction. I’ll be a paid musician.

Until next time,
How much can you accomplish.
