Sunday, I got up late because it’s my usual day off. Kim and I went and did our shopping run which we usually do on Sundays because we have the day off together. So, we got a lot of food which will hopefully keeps us good for a couple weeks.

After shopping we got home and chilled out for a little while before going up to my mom’s place for dinner. After dinner we played a board game and looked a pictures from my mom’s box of pictures that go back a long way. It was interesting and fun.

I had a pretty interesting day. I got up and did some work at home, web design stuff mainly, and watched a few video tutorials. Then I got all my stuff together and headed over to Ryan’s place. I was going to jam with him to get a feel for how each other play; a sort of try out for his band. First we went over some design features he wanted to incorporate to the layout we already had. This involved placing the new name font design and character logo into place. With these elements in place we did some overhauling in general to make the site pop! Ryan is now very pleased with it, so I’m accomplishing my job very well. After working on design we picked up our guitars and jammed. I was a bit nervous but also really out of it because I hadn’t eaten anything yet and my blood sugar was crazy low making me spacey and lightheaded.

I took of from Ryan’s to meet up with Mike to work on the site some more. We changed over all the design elements Ryan and I had made and got the site looking dope and functional. A little more attention to the back end coding and we’re going to have a kick ass site. I ate, which made me feel levels better and I also got tickets to go see Stella. I’m pretty excited!

Here are some photo’s I took from my brothers concert.

Somehow my counting system seems to be off. So this post isn’t actually 351, but may instead be 350. I’m not too sure yet. But it doesn’t really matter.

So, today was fairly productive. I met up with Lukas Ketner to discuss his website. I had an alpha version for him to check out. He liked it quite a bit but, of course, had some changes he wanted to make. So, this next week I should be getting the fixes done and getting his site posted online at which point I will be a professional web designer. Granted I have a long way to go to be really good at this craft, but thanks to help from Mike Lazear I’m well on my way.

Following that meeting I went to meet up with my boss Mohammed Soriano Bilal for whom I’ve been doing video work for the past 8 or so months. Where he reluctantly had to give me notice that I was being let go do to cut backs. I didn’t take the news poorly. I was expecting it. Mo and I parted after a really good conversation and I went to go get CS4 studio. I found a great deal, and was hoping that it was going to be legit. It turns out that it was and I got a great deal! Sometimes it’s all about being savy and looking for deals. In this day and age if you can save money, do it!

Later in the evening I ended up going to see my brothers band play where I was asked to take pictures. I’ll post some of them soon.

Until tomorrow

My weekdays are slowly turning into a drone. I have to sit and deal with it until the weekend comes. I’m not however waiting to party, I’m waiting to meet up with people about projects I have in the works. People who also have day jobs and want to get shit done. Currently and most importantly is Mike Lazear. He’s helping me build the Ryan Dain site, which is looking really nice. Also, The weekend is when I get to spend good quality time with my lady, Kim. Even though we live together our schedules are a bit opposing and thus we get in our time on our weekend.

Tomorrow I show Lukas the site I’ve built for him. Let’s hope he likes it.

Until then

Today has been somewhat uneventful. I did some editing for the final ‘George Watsky’ episode. Plus, I did some more work on Lukas’ website. It’sreally coming together now. I have a few more things to do to make it work great! Now it’s just nice looking.

Then I practiced bass for a while.

Now I park cars. Ugh.

Until tomorrow

So, today was the first day in 3 weeks that I had been into the office. Honestly I don’t like going into the office. I’m just not an office person. It feels weird and unnatural to me. If at all possible I try to work from home. When I’m mainly video editing, that’s not much of a problem, I just take a drive home and get going.

Anyway, I got there; chatted a bit, went to lunch and then sat in a phone conference and then took off. My mind is on other things. Like learning and become a very capable web designer. I’m really figuring it out now. It’s feeling right and getting kinda fun. In a team setting with Mike Lazear, I feel I can really get somewhere with this as an independent. Plus, the possibility of becoming a professional, hired bass player for my friends band is crazy exciting. I’m trying to be level headed about it, knowing that I will need to try out, but I think that I have a fair chance. Plus, I’m pushing the issue like crazy!

This year has started off with a big bang and I’m hoping that the explosion radiates for a long time to come.

Today I went and helped shoot ‘The Free Box’, a local webisode created by some of my friends.
I may also be making a website for them too.

Today was good. Since last week when i had my get together with Ryan to show him the website I’ve been putting attention towards getting some of the outline fixed and rearranged. Everything has come together nicely so far.

Mike and I got together and pushed through some more of the site. Fixing little things here and there and starting to work with heavy back end PHP. We got the mail form to work, which is awesome! Now we have to get the Fan Page login to work.

Also, my plan to make Ryan want me as the bass player for his band is going very nicely. Of course I still have to try out, but I’m feeling more and more confident towards the idea and giving him ever expanding reasons why it would work out. I suppose we will see her in a couple weeks. Until then, I practice like a crazy person.

I’ve still been busy. On top of the site I’m building with my friend Mike for Ryan Dain, I’m now building a site for my friend Lukas Ketner. I’m keeping the layout very simple. Very straight forward. That’s how I plan to do most of my sites from here on out. Very simple, very straight forward.

Until Later
