getting it.

It's really sad I cannot find it in me to update this more often, but much has happened since my last update so I guess I don't have a lack of content.

I've recently devoted more time to saving more money for the big move. I picked up a job at a restaurant and in doing so, have fulfilled the title of actor by becoming a professional waiter. Well, waiting soon anyway.

Imaginary Trends has been chuggin' along with some neat-o projects in development. Between short musicals about one of my biggest inspirations to more long term ideas for LAN'ded, things are always changing and morphing. I know there's definitely some ground being tread with "Code Monkey" and though I'm now busier than ever, I can't wait to become steeped with stress over a potential reading for it. I'm even more excited about the people I may be working on "Code Monkey" with. I'm happy to say that I think I've found fellows artists for life that I can collaborate with. Friendship + Art = the best concoction I've ever come across.

I was telling my girlfriend a few weeks ago that she should be prepared for my social blackout that is sure to occur on March 9th, the date Final Fantasy XIII is released. I explained that the series has given so much to me that I am considering it a holiday. It's eventual release has made me go back and think on the times when I was younger where I didn't have a whole lot of friends, when people lived too far away, and when I didn't have any other outlet than video games and comic books. Those stories meant alot to me, and I'm hoping the 13th installment holds the same amount of pure happiness that its predecessors gave me. Hype can be a tricky beast though, like a dual edged sword it can be both shiny but inflict much pain and sadness. Alright, I've waxed poetic far too long on a subject that nobody wants to hear about.

I'm thinking it may also be time to bring Thing A Day to a close. I started it on July 14th 2009 and I've only missed maybe 7-10 total days for writing a unique piece every day since. Truth be told, I've grown a bit bored with it and it has become somewhat of an obligation. I don't want my writing to be forced, I want it to come naturally. Some writers take long breaks between pieces, maybe I need a break?

Just like a kid evicted after work, I'm out for the night.
