Ok this is a super quick update. I was hoping that this trial would be like normal ones where I would have time at night to relax and surf. Check my DA, email, etc. Not the case. This trial has been and will continue to be hell. I am only taking a break right now to post this. But I have been working until the wee hours of the morning every day. And I have 2 more weeks to go. So I want to thank everyone for coming by and leaving messages. I won't be able to get to them until for another couple weeks. I'm not trying to blow anyone off or anythng like that. Just super busy.

Of course this all messed up my plans for cool Halloween art I had planned. Oh well. I should know better than to plan anything.

Take care all and I'll see you in a few weeks.

I'm going to be jumping in and out of DA sporaticly over the next few weeks. I'm in "Trial Mode" again, so most of my time is going to be spent working unless this case settles.

I'm also recovering from some super fun dental surgery. I had two Wisdom Teeth that were growing in the opposite direction and the dentist said they needed to get taken out "now" because they were starting to press on the nerves that gave feeling to my whole jaw. He said it was going to be a pretty complicated procedure. It took about an hour and a half. Thank god, they knocked me out for it.

So as a result, my face is pretty jacked up, although it's getting better. I'm still not 100% yet and part of my jaw is now numb (which the Doc warned me could happen). I'm just hoping to be back to normal soon.

I had to tell my daughter yesterday, "you might think that eating Ice Cream and Applesauce all the time would be awesome. On the contrary. It sucks."

As soon as I am able to chew regular food, I'm making a b-Line for Dions for some Pizza and then heading over to the Dog House to wash it down with one of their Spicy Foot Long Chili Dogs (All the Albuquerque peeps know what I'm talking about, amirite?)

Ok just letting everyone know that I'm doing better. Writing that journal really helped me get some of the demons out and I started to feel better almost immediately. Talking about stuff really can help things.

So we're fine, we're all fine....here...now. How are you?

No not the show. It's how I feel right now.

Forgive this emo journal, but I'm hoping that by putting my thoughts down on paper (theoretically), I can sort through some of these emotions I am having.

First off, the vacation was great. He had a freakin wonderful time. So much so that I didn't want to come home. I'll talk more about that later when I'm in a better mood.

But as we headed back to the airport, I started to feel this weight on my shoulders. It dawned on me that currently, I am in a really rough spot as far as my art is concerned. I'm no where near where I want to be creatively speaking. I was hoping that by this time I would be working full time as an artist. Either with a studio, design group or some other company. But that is what I thought I would be doing by now. Not busting my ass at a full time job that sucks up more time than it should and trying to squeak in some time to be creative and get my foot in the door of the creative world.

I want so bad to be working for a company like Marvel or DC or Disney or Pixar or Dreamworks. A place where I can go into work and spend 8 hours a day or more just creating art and ideas. Drawing. Painting. Designing. Living. I want it so bad that it hurts. Hurts bad.

But I'm tired. I'm getting older. Time is not on my side. My optimism isn't holding up so well right now. I may have to face the fact that it may never happen for me. And that feeling is crushing me right now.

I quite honestly don't know what to do right now.

I don't know.

I know that one of the cardinal rules of the art world is "don't get discouraged". But I'm only human, and eventually it was going to grind me down. I'm hoping that writing this all out will have some therapeutic effects for me. Rather than keep it bottled up anymore. Then maybe my head will clear some and I can think better.


I'm at a crossroads.

I'm heading out on vacation, so keep track of the house for me while I'm gone. Hopefully I'll have tons of cool stories when I get back.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes also. I appreciate it everyone. You guys are awesome!
