Okay, yes, it's another blog skin. What can I say? I enjoy change. Is that so wrong?
So i'm now a Deviant Artist. I felt a little dorky signing up for it. I always check it out and see lame emo kids expressing their self hatred in the form of a marshmello attacking a chicken or something artfully aweful like that but I really admire some artists on there that have some really really talented Vector Artworks and also some Photographers that are simply amazing. I'm so jealous of those out there that have this vast knowledge of everyfunction on Photoshop and Illustrator. Especially Illustrator because in my opinion, it is so simple that it is so freaking complex. It blows my mind the stuff that you can do with it. So I finally did my first piece of Vector Art. It's crap, but i'm proud that I actually made some sort of sense of Illustrator and made something in Photoshop and didn't use any stupid filters or brushes. So, it may be lame and unoriginal, but I like it. And for my first piece, it's okay.
And so with this new Skin, i'm working on putting in another TagBox, because I liked my last one, but my stupid computer here at work won't let me get to the c-box site, which is (in my opinion) the best one, so i'm just going to have to wait. I really really want to make my own template, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about such a thing. I think I could probably figure it out, especially if I started off just building off of someone else's template. I think I could handle that. I just don't understand HTML that well. I should take a class on it or something. I would really like to take a photoshop class as well which makes me wonder why i'm not majoring in graphic design. I would really like to design for things like book covers or album covers or businesses or something. I think i'd be good at something like that. Especially if I could work with someone. I do well when I can bounce ideas off of someone and work out my thoughts outloud and have someone to tell me what is a good idea and what is crap so I have something to go with. I don't know, though. Graphic Design is one of those careers that makes me shudder a little. The chances of me finding the right job is practically slim to none, especially in Lincoln Nebraska. I should move. I should move to a big city where I have a million more opportunities than I do right now. Especially because certain new revelations in my life have left me feeling crazy jealous as well as a little lost and confused. Like i've wanted something for so long, and started getting used to the idea of what I thought it was, and finding out that it was, in fact, all just me and my stupid head and my stupid heart. I don't think that made any sense at all, but I don't feel like explaining it. All you need to know is that boys are stupid. They forever chase the things that in the end won't be good for them even though what they really need is right in front of them. Life goes on, I suppose. After all, he's just a boy.
