Ok so I had some inspiration to update this and let everyone know I'm still around!

So out of shear boredom I did a search for my username and at the end of the search results I found a few pieces of mine used in other artists works! Wow that was freaking cool to see!! I kinda always assumed people would glance at my work, maybe give me a comment and then move on. But nooooo haha there are a few who have been inspired to take my work to the next step! Sooo I just wanted to thank those of you (even though you may not ever see this.) It truly means the world to me to see that kind of reaction from you!

oookkkkk it's time for my update:

For the past 8/9 months I have been dating a girl. I'll keep the story kind of compressed but I met her through a good friend of mine. Her name is Rosy and she's a few years younger than I am. Neither of us were looking for anything serious but for some reason it played out that we ended up liking each other. A LOT! Time goes on and things are going pretty much amazing. We had a couple hiccups here and there but nothing I ever thought would ruin us. Well recently I discovered she had been lying to me about a few things so I confronted her about it.. she continued to lie to me until I "beat" it out of her. (No I didn't actually touch her. It's a metaphor.) She finally admitted she lied. I was devastated. I couldn't believe someone I had gotten so attached to and thought was on the same level with me could do such a thing.

Needless to say I told her I couldn't live with always wondering whether or not she is lying to me about anything. That's not the kind of love I am looking for. I'm doing relatively ok about it all. I think I'm more upset that she could be capable of doing that to me and even worse that I'll never really know the truth about what was going on the whole time. I'll never have a reason to believe anything she ever told me. It was all her choice but I'm the one being most affected by it.

It just isn't fair... I don't know. Now that she's gone I'm always sitting at home and it's boring me. More than I think I can handle.

Did I mention I'm getting into 3D design? I'm hoping to have some time to render a few things in my spare time just for fun. We'll see.

wow I never thought I'd reach this point! Thank you all for all of the page views, favorites, comments, and interests! I've been lurking a lot this past year but it means a lot to me to see everyone take interest in my work!! Again, thank you with everything I have!

Yep! Work is still way busy but we're doing good! One day i'll submit some of the 3D stuff I've been doing! I promise!

Oh yea and i've REALLLLLY been getting into the Blues! Can't get enough of it

Figured I better update this thing. Things are going pretty good. My attempt at creating my own new role at the company has been working really well as I am now spending more time working on projects and designing things for bigger clientèle rather than simple prepress operation. I am spending a LOT more time at work and seem to be MUCH busier however it makes the day go by faster and since it's work I actually enjoy doing it doesn't bother me much at all.

I have been noticing a few new things about myself that is bothering me. Things such as: I find myself trying to "buy friendship" with people. I like to consider everyone as a friend and have no problem helping them out in whatever way I can but I'm beginning to wonder if the only reason a majority of people are my friends simply for that fact. Here is a really good example: I used to have a friend that no matter what he did, everyone he knew always wanted to come hang out with him. Even when all he did was sit at his house! There was CONSTANTLY a friend of his with him or trying to get a hold of him so they could come hang out too. I'm am largely curious as to what he did/is doing that makes people always want to be involved with him. Besides my brothers I can look back and every situation that got me a new friend involved me doing something for them or buying something or offering some sort of object or service. It's not something I can really rely upon and it's beginning to bug me pretty bad

I want to know why I feel like if I don't offer my help/service/money then nobody would accept me or want me to be around.... wow even reading this as I type is bothering me

Ok we at work are really beginning to take off in these tradeshow designs and we are manufacturing some pretty crazy frames for these graphics. My question is this!

What kind of 3d rendering program out there will take our 2d designs and render them to a 3d structure that we have drawn? If that doesn't make sense, basically what I need is a program that will take the graphic we are going to print and display it accurately on the structure so the client will more or less see a proof of the final product.

PLEASE help me find this program because there has to be one SOMEWHERE!! Thanks everyone
