Back in the Saddle Again

     Heynow. It has been a while but I've had things to do. My girlfriend, Angel, is moving in with me this Saturday. The plan is: she comes in on Thursday night/Friday morning and stay until Saturday morning where we both get in my truck and help move. She don't have a lot of stuff which is good, I hate moving.
     Anywho, I'm back in the saddle again when it comes down to painting more. I got a request yesterday to make one of Johnny Depp, which looks fairly easy and was easy to find and design:

     But before I can get started, I need to buy some canvases. I have one 12"x12" so I might be able to do this one first before my other project. It's Black because it's Johnny's favorite color and Tan because it's her favorite color. Silver was her first chose but on paint it turns out to be gray. 

     I posted some paintings on Craigslist and when I sold the Slash painting, the person who bought it had another request, Axl Rose. I got to work on it and gave her this one which was hard to do and took a lot of time.

     I told her I could change the bandanna color, red or blue. She came back with different pictures. I'm not sure if I want to do this one anymore since it seems like she wants me to start from scratch again. I guess I'll say, it's either this or nothing because I'm burned out on it. Which is somewhat true. After churning out painting after painting, I got burned out on it. It was more time consuming than anything and I think I charge way too low for there's.

     Anyway, that's whats going on at the moment. Moving and once that's done, I'll get started on Johnny Depp. My life is exciting, later peeps.

Steady As It Goes

     Heynow. It's quite a while since I've made a post. I'll try and recap whats been going on. Angel and I are dating and this weekend, she is coming down to meet my parents and Casey & Ashley. The week after, I think we are going to Lexington to visit her dad. Life is great. I haven't been this happy....ever. I have a job that I like (I'm close to), I have a girlfriend, and there's not a lot of drama. The only thing is money. Of course it's still a thing but I'm thinking of ways to get a better education and job. Whether it's a state job or going to UK to get a bachelors degree.
     Which reminds me, I need to get started on my portfolio. And I need to get a UK portfolio application. I was working on the UT application and since I live in Kentucky now, tuition will be a little cheaper. I think I have to pay for an application like last time. Lets hope not, I'm going to check now. SON OF A BITCH! I had to apply by Feb. 1st. Now I have to wait till next year if I wanna do it. This sucks. Now the only option is to work somewhere else. I won't do that till this job goes under. This sucks, I really wanted to do it this time. Wait, am I a undergrad or grad? I got a associates from Southeast Community & Technical College. I'm so confused. I forget all the terms and stuff. Ah crap, after looking further into it, it had to be done before Jan. 15th. I am so late on everything. I just don't get it sometimes. I could still try and goto UT. I don't know. Maybe just look for a state job or go to Vaughn & Melton. They're right here and in other locations, plus I know a few people there. Just thinking about money and how I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck and if I wanna start a family, I'll have comfortable amount of money so I (and we) can do it. Sometimes I feel like I wanna do something different other than architecture as a career. Like music whether it's an sound engineer, producer, musician, or anything in recording. I don't know. I'm at the point in my life where I feel like doing something else. So much stress I'm not suppose to put on myself. I'm just gonna forget it and just tell everyone that I'm doing a portfolio anyway. So say that I'm trying at least, and even though I'm not doing the portfolio, I'm still trying anyway.
     I guess in the meantime, I can look for a state job on a website and bookmark it so when the time comes, I'll have some sort of plan on looking for a job. Nothing that I could see but I bookmarked it and I'll look on it later when I need to get another job in my field.

Good Weekend, Sick Monday, Work Tuesday

     

     Heynow. It's been awhile since I've done one so here we go again. This past weekend was great. I went to Hazard to visit my now "girlfriend", Angel. I drove down and felt like I was there in no time. It's a two hour drive, so when I arrived at her work place to pick her up, I had to pee. I sent her a text saying I'm here but with no answer. Her work is in a plaza and next door was "Tractor Supply" so I went in and went to the bathroom. When I came out, I noticed my phone was on "No .Net Network" which means nothing is coming in and nothing is coming out. So I got worried and tried to to fix it. I usually fix it with calling my office so it finally fixed it. I went back to my truck and added some more deodorant. I waited for a few minutes and as I was looking out the window, she knocked on the passenger side window. She came in and I kissed her. Of course it wasn't the first time but it was a week the last time I saw her. Her plan for the date was to get something to eat and have a picnic somewhere. We finally decided to go to her old high school lunch area outside. I wasn't really hungry so I got some chicken from Wendy's. We had a good time talking and getting close with each other. Later on her sister came by and said hi. Her sister is not shy about talking about anything. Her sister left and we were alone again. We talked some more and then we went to her house to hang out. She lives in the woods but it's a nice place. She has a cat, Tequila, and I told her I was allergic but I wasn't really affected by it. We watched TV for a while and then it was time for bed and we continued to watch TV in bed. Her sister and her boyfriend later came in that night.
     The next morning we got up and she made breakfast. Biscuits, eggs and I made myself some tea. She was out of eggs but we got into my truck and went to the local gas station to get some eggs and milk. After breakfast, her sister and her boyfriend went to London to go to the Flea Market. Angel and I stayed and hung out the rest of the day. But it was time for me to go and she needed to see her mom in the hospital. I didn't want to go and she didn't want me to go either but I had to go. I drove home and forgot about the time change. When I got home, I changed my clocks. We kept texting each other until it was bed time.
     On Monday, I felt sick and dizzy so I took the day off. I just slept and took some medicine. I basically listened to the radio and watched some TV when I was up.
     On Tuesday, I was okay and went to work. It was a slow day until the end of the day. A few people came in and it took awhile to get it settled. I walked home and then ordered some pizza for dinner.
     Today, I'm at work and it's slow right now. The boss is at the post office at the moment. Yeah, that's it. Life is pretty good now that I have a girlfriend. I'll try and get some more painting idea on here too. Well, I guess that's it. My life is boring, later peeps.
