So you’re probably asking yourself “Is his life so interesting that he doesn’t have time to update because of all the going-ons he’s a part of, or is his life so interesting that there’s no way I could comprehend it with 100% of my brain if he were to chronicle it?”

Unfortunately, neither of these plausible scenarios are the case with me. I’d like to say that I’ve been travelling the world, saving lives, playing legendary games of table tennis, or even contributing in some small way… but I haven’t. This fact shouldn’t suggest that there have been no new occurences in my life, however…

I have a new job now. Video City, as fun as it was, did not work out unfortunately. The hours were decent, but it was a labor of love. I needed to expand my horizons a bit and obtain a job that actually pays the bills; gets me caught up and things of that nature. I took a new job at a company called Diztinct Designs as an independent contractor. I’m doing web design, getting paid a hefty wage, and working at my own pace. Pretty much the embodiment of the American Dream, huh? So work is new, and going well.

School is going pretty well too. I need to focus a bit more, and dedicate myself to my work a bit more, but I’m pulling my weight indeed. I’m just going through one of those Good-Will-Hunting-Having-Great-Potential-Yet-Squandering-It phases right now. My GPA is still a solid 3.5 and with any luck it’ll hover in that region after this quarter. I did put off almost all of my work until the very last minute and am now suffering because of it, but I have a little more than 5 days to get it all done, which I’m thinking is a pretty reasonable amount of time.

As far as personally / socially, I’m just existing. Going along with whatever crowd I happen to be with at the time. It’s fun, relaxing, and interesting. I feel some tangents coming on:

I downloaded a few really great albums recently, they include: Dane Cook’s Retaliation, Darkest Hour’s Hidden Hands Of A Sadist Nation, Glassjaw’s Worship and Tribute (a classic), It Dies Today’s The Caitiff Choir, Tool’s 10,000 Days, and the as of yet unreleased but leaked on the internets, Muse’s Black Holes and Revelations. Not all new, not all released, but certainly all 100% good stuff.

I’ve been playing Enigmo 2 like it’s nobodies business, and it IS nobodies fuckin business, you asshole.

I’m starting a podcast soonly, when I find a suitable sidekick / partner to do so. Interested? Maybe we can collaborate.

I’ll call you later.

about this

So little to say and so much time… Here goes something….

My name is Andrew to everyone who knows me and nothing to the people who don’t. I rarely feel inclined to write about myself and this small text blurb is no exception. I’m a film maker, of sorts. A designer, of sorts. A musician, of sorts. A photographer, of sorts. An armada of etceteras march behind these four generals.

The point I’m trying to make is that I enjoy art in all of it’s forms, and try my best to creatively express myself in every medium I take a liking towards. As always, things like life get in the way of being a non-stop idea factory, but that life is something that I’m thoroughly enjoying at the moment.

It consists of my beautiful girlfriend who I am very much in love with, a job that pays me well to do work that I would otherwise be doing for free, and a family and friends that I wouldn’t trade the world for. It’s safe to assume that I’m walking on air/over water/atop mountain peaks (pick one… hell, pick all three).
