Oh what would i do without the Internet!

Okay so i was just killing time at work and came across this blogger http://www.joelderfner.com/blog/

Never have i laughed so hard. The whole blog is funny. Kind of reminds me of Matt and I and our off-beat humor. Here's just a snippet about Egyptian Glyphs that he's studying.


"Let's break that down. The glyph all the way to the right represents a cloth wrapped around a pole (an ancient Egyptian emblem of divinity) and is an ideogram for the word [ntr], meaning "god" (the [t] is pronounced like, say, the final consonant in "my ex-boyfriend is a whoring bitch")."


OMG it just keeps getting better trust me. Go check it out.

5 days to go and I still hope, that you will miss me when i'm gone. This is the last song.



Well this is it. I'm in my final days here at PDC and in Norman. I can't believe it either. So much has happened in the last month. And i think I've seen everyone that i can. But now the clock is ticking and soon I'll be calling Chicago my home.

Not much exciting has happened since my last post. Last week I went to my friends Graduation Party and got to see good friends I haven't seen in awhile. Work was well work. Busy when it shouldn't be. Then last Saturday I had my going away party that turned out perfect. I'm really going to miss everyone and I hope they will miss me too.

Well like i said there is not much to report other than I'm at my last week at work. I'm going to spend more time at home with my parents. Start packing everything up. Looking for jobs. Reminds me i need to work on my website. But maybe something exciting will happen that I can write about. More then anything i just wanted to post the pics above.

Well okay guess that's it. There's your update.

aforesaid nostalgic mess takes forever to express - take a breath and say goodnight to the dubious delight, but 'love what it used to be'.

Well its official. I signed my resignation letter and handed it in. I think this might be the first time over these 6 1/2 years that I have printed something on PDC letterhead. It was exciting and sad all at the same time. But like my title says. Love what it used to be.

So now with a little over two weeks till I move I am starting to feel all the emotions with making such a big step in my life. I am scared, excited, nervous, elated. I am going to miss my friends here but looking to making many new ones. I am going to miss my fellow co-workers whom I have had a blast working with and are a talented bunch of people but exciting about working with new ones. I am looking forward to new experiences and a newfound drive to become the artist I know I can be.

I was working on my website the other day trying to write a short piece for a 'About Me' section. It is really hard to write about yourself. Sometimes I felt like I was writing down words that do not reflect me now as a person but of who I really want to become. But I just kept writing and just let my thoughts flow. One part struck me after I wrote it.

"But what is an artist but the sum of its parts. Some use canvas and oil others use pen and paper. I use a stylus and a mouse click."

I have always doubted my abilities and myself. Doubted even being able to say, "I am an artist". I don't know why but I have always felt like I am always proving myself to someone. But then I will have a good success and it will feel great but then shortly later it feels like I am back at the start doing it all over again. I hope I can overcome this. I know I am capable of so much more.

I have learned so much working here. The experience, with its ups and downs, was a rewarding one. But now I have to move forward. With new beginnings comes new life. I am looking ahead to the future. My Life is but the sum of its parts and I can look back and love what it used to be.
