We are that which makes us happy.

The whole DJing idea is put back on back burner. I decided to go back to school to take my graphic design skills to the next level. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems and I’m going back to get a degree in Fine Arts with the concentration in Graphic Design. This is the direction I should have made 15 to 20 years ago but with a mix of unfounded insecurity and mistaken interests I got into systems. Now, even though it pays well, I’m stuck in a job I hate with no chance for advancement. I been looking for other opportunities in ITS but the industry is freaking nuts; employers have unrealistic expectations and or paying way less than what I’m currently making.

Now, graphic design: that’s my jam, I just need to train my hand. With my technological knowledge, I could also get back into web design. I built websites 10+ years ago but burnout came quick I think because, well, hard to explain. For starters, I didn’t use the best tools.

Who knows, maybe at some point I’ll actually give this website a nice look.

Beyond web design, the beauty of classical training, as opposed to vocational training, is I won’t be locked into one thing: If someone wants a logo, I’m their guy. If someone is wanting a custom graphic like a company mascot or something, I’m on it. And, just for fun, if people need another hand to paint a mural (which is a pretty big locally lately) I’m in!

The problem I ran into is as it turns out I’m not the logical type; I’m, in my heart, the creative type. After over a year of searching, it took me 20 years to realize this. I always knew I had an artistic side but now I realize that is who I actually am. We are that which makes us happy.

Whatemeye Gonnado?

Clearly I haven’t done anything with this website as of yet. I was thinking I’m gonna start DJing again but I need new equipment to accommodate the contemporary and conventional style (yes, I’m aware DJ Asinine is my pseudonym, but hey, a guy still needs to make money) and my interest is tied up in about 100 other things.

Super busy working a shitty job. Wanna use my writing skills for good, at least financial good. Starting to write music again. Europe is still over there somewhere I hear; wouldn’t mind checking that out again some time. Lake Tenkiller, haven’t been there since the ’80s; like to see if the water is still wet. Nature. The house, oh it won’t stay clean no matter how hard I scrub, but of course I don’t have the time. Women: well, I better keep those thoughts to myself and they also require money…most of them anyway…I’m not in my 20s anymore after all.

This mind of mine is anything but usual, which clearly has always been known to be the case. I have to allow it to work in its on accord, in its own time. Nothing may ever be of this domain but yes another in the collection I have accumulated over the years.

If you have found the oddest way to discover this website and you don’t know me, that’s okay, you’re probably better off. If you do know me, I am sorry and I do pity your misfortune. Surely you know someone else more worth spending your thought.

Well, that’s enough self-derogation for now. Tootles!!!
