You know him. You love him. You simply can't get enough of him. No, I'm not talking about me, mind you. I'm talking about him. First, Weird Al gets a makeover. Then, Paul Reubens. In the grand scheme of things, I guess it was about time for Emo's makeover!

I'm getting an amazing amount of traffic frombeing ranked #2 on the new Blogdex site. This probably has something to do with the press that Blogdex is getting from places like Wired.

findyourspot.com says that my "top spots" to live in the U.S. are, in order: Norfolk, Virgina... Charlotte, North Carolina... Richmand, Virginia... Hickory, North Carolina... Tulsa, Oklahoma... El Paso, Texas... Virginia Beach, Virginia... Hampton, Virginia... Asheville, North Carolina... and Rocky Mount, North Carolina.Though, I won't count out any possibility for the future, I feel it is safe to say that none of the suggested above destinations will be where I am living in the near or even far future.That doesn't mean I'm not seriously considering a move. Because I am. More on that later.

This freelance gig is working out! While working on two contracts, I was able to check the mail, knock many items off of my to do list, secure quite an additional amount of design gigs, and bake two pumpkin pies. Of these accomplishments, the one I'm most proud of are the pies. Mmmmm... pie...

Since I had to give up all of my company gadgets recently, I was without a PDA for a little less than a week. Yesterday, I got a Palm VIIx equipped with online services. Now I've gotta set it up so I can post to this site on it! I also got a new color printer for my home office, now that it's my primary working station. :)

Okay, so let me get this straight: I indeed just quit my job. I can juggle very well. I've been called a "monkey boy" on more than one occasion. That said, I should now be able to have my voice heard. Can you hear me? Well, I hear and appreciate what he says just the same.

I just had a long talk with Bjoern about success and failure, eating crickets, the New York City subway system, careers, the Japanese fire department, Tivo, memories, telling stories, saving money, buying houses, kosher delis, office politics, dunkin' donuts, respect, the differences between being assertive and blindly accepting whatever comes your way, pretty girls, responsibility, work... and everything in between.Germans aren't so bad after all. ;-)

In the last 24 hours I have changed cars, cell phones, and jobs.Yesterday was my final day at SoftDevices. Though I enjoyed my 14 months working as Creative Wizard, I decided that it was just the right time to move on. So I did...I'm now a full time freelance designer, something I've wanted to be for quite some time. Now I've just gotta' make it happen! I do have several major design projects underway with several more down the pipeline. Just the same, if you have some design work you're thinking about having done, please consider and contact me! :)I'll also use this time to finish up the last few classes I need to complete before they'll give me my diploma, work on some other projects I've wanted to dabble in for quite a while, and get back into the acting (and directing, perhaps?) biz I miss so much.For those of you who now have outdated contact information for me, please contact me privately for an update.What a difference a day makes. Merrily I roll along...

So says mom, "Dad just called me a "sweatball" and I remembered where the term came from. When we would pick up baby Mark from the crib after a nap... you were so sweaty that Dad would call you a sweatball!"

The great thing about a roller coaster of emotions is that it reminds you that you have them. The bad thing about a roller coaster of emotions is that it reminds you that you have them.
