Post College... the Middle School of Adulthood

"Failure"

I feel like it's a repeating theme in conversation with all my 20-something friends. Since graduating nearly 3 years ago, I've been floundering around trying to find my place in the world or at least a place that feels a little more stable. I've lived in 5 places in one city and worked 6 different jobs. With a forced smile, I'm constantly searching for something in my field or at least something that didn't sound lame when I imagine having to tell someone what I do.

Is it the economy?

Is it me?

However, it seems to be everyone. Most of my friends have expressed their frusterations with not being where they hoped they would be in a career or a relationship at this stage of life.

I wish I could just snap my fingers and see how it is all going to turn out because I keep thinking that maybe in 6 months.... maybe a year...

maybe tomorrow.

My First Flash Animation

I'm taking Interactice Design this semester and I'm learning how to make flash animation. This is my first video. It's a little slow but I'm still pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Brett Robbins made the audio about 4 years ago.
He was making fun of a time when we actually had a contest in the car to see who could make the highest sound. Glad I finally had a use for that CD.

So here's the flash animation: Hey Brett!

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

After bragging about how my cat, Lemons, and saying he was the most perfect cat in the whole world. He is sooo well behaved and NEVER does anything bad. I come home to find that he peed on my pillow. As soon as I walked into my room he ran away like he was in trouble. I wondered why he was being so jumpy and then I could spell "the accident". It took me a while to figure out where it was coming form.

I was literally pissed.
Threw the pillow away.
Admitted that it could have been worse.
Washed everything on my bed and drove to Target to buy a replacement pillow.

No more bragging about the cat.
