<251> Unseen Seen: Well things have really been going well lately. I've been feeling good, healthy, and have actual energy like I haven't felt in the same way in I don't know quite how long. Most aspects seem to have fallen correctly into place in my life and I find very little to complain about. All these things play off of each other I'm sure and like I said, I can't complain. There's never enough time in the day to do everything I want or am inspired to do, but that will never change, I just take it one day at a time. But this doesn't leave me feeling overwhelmed... no not at all, because it's great to have so much positive surrounding. I really can't explain it. I know there are still plenty of problems out there and that we will always have our share of some, but things just are so nicely looking up all around and hence I'm going to just keep it going and enjoy it for as long as I can. I know you never know what is around the next corner, but for me, at least for now, I feel like I'm running on a curve that isn't coming to an end anytime soon.

Things with Metatative are really going pretty well so far. I have a handful of 'possible' clients and some of these look like they will actually turn into real clients and even soon, haha. I've been keeping busy though with some work and I always have my usual part time job with the real estate company as well... which is technically part of Metatative work too because I've included 'Creative Consulting' as part of what the company does and that is (basically) what I do for the real estate company. At least on most days, haha. Of course Monday I will be spending a full day at a golf event our company is helping to sponsor giving out freebies (and collecting my share of some!) and flyers that I have created so I guess that is promotion too if you let it stretch. But no matter, I get paid for a full day to sit around with a coworker... of course I know it'll be boring as golf is not really of much interest to me. But we'll see how it goes. It can't be that bad, right?

I've been spending a lot more time in my studio lately. A lot of the time I had been spending my computer time when home on my laptop while sitting in front of our tv or doing something else while computing. That's all well and good, but since I usually had my remote connection open to use this computer here (my main desktop computer that resides in my studio) it makes sense that I spend some actual physical time up here in front of it. It's funny too because I've spend more time up here since I finally fixed the wireless in our house, thus making it more convenient to use the laptop downstairs... yet I have been up here on the wired computer. Yeah, I like to do things the weird way, but oh well. When I'm actually working in my studio, not surprisingly, I get more done and (usually) tend to stay focused. There are still plenty of distractions, but for me most distractions come in the form of too many things I want to do at once. For instance right now I should be working on a website that I am revamping for my brother, but I really wanted to post first, since I know it's been awhile and I really do intend to start writing here again more often.... and in addition to this there is a huge pile of randomness on my floor at the moment which just a few days ago was nice and clear. I decided to clean out my studio room closet, which isn't actually all that messy to begin with... but I had one big clear plastic tote that was breaking (from a previous move and being too heavy) that I wanted to go through and see what I could get rid of / pack further away. This is coming along, but it takes time. It was mostly some old school papers and many knick knacks that I am always prone to having no matter what I do. I just can't part with most things, no matter how random, but I have to say I've gotten tons of times better about getting rid of things when I don't need them... but a true pack rat from upbringing and content can only get so far, ya know? ;)

So perhaps it's time to finish up this post for now. I'm sure there are many things I'm forgetting to talk about, but maybe I really will stop saying that I'm going to post more often and actually start doing it. Yes, I will do this along with all my other many projects I need to work on. But, no, really, I mean it... if I don't, someone email me and yell at me will you... that is if any of you are still out there... anyone, anyone? echo echo echo echo... just kidding! Ok kids, see you soon, catch you later and take care. Until next time!!

PS: One of my many upcoming projects includes a redesign of this site... oh yes, be, be, be excited! ;)
