What's going on?

I don't know how, or why, but somehow I'm a Deviant Art Subscriber now... I didn't subscribe myself, which tells me that someone else must have done it for me... can anyone help me out here? Are you the person that did it, or do you know who did it? I'd just like to express my thanks to whoever it was... and I'd like to know why... I'm really confused...

on another note.. It's been nearly 3 months since I've posted a journal on here.. or much of anything else for that matter. So send me your comments and tell me what you guys have all been up to.. I'll prob. post a little of my hectic crazy life story later..

First things first... I'm at work right now trying to keep my mind off of this but it's not easy when you're not busy. My dad woke me up this morning about 9 to tell me that my grandfather has passed away... he died peacefully at least. I just need to talk about it I guess. It's never easy to lose a family member, but it's a lot harder when it's the closest family member that's ever died for you.. I've been one of the most blessed people in the world that the only person I know that has died sonce I was born had been my great grandma on my mom's side. I wasn't very close to her at all. But this morning that has changed. On St. Valentines day, my grandpa, my grandma's companion for 60 years 1 week and 2 days, passed away. I'm glad that I did spend the time with him that I did. When I was going to school about 5 minutes from their house I liked to stop by there at least once a week. but I moved out here to South Texas a little under a year ago and have only seen him twice since then. He surprised everyone with his fighting to stay alive this long. He's been told that he wouldn't make it another week about 5 times in the past 2 years. and he beat the odds all of those times. But this morning he got up and went to sit down in his recliner and just sat there.. Easy as that he died. that was the worst thing about today easily. but don't feel sorry for me, he's in a better place now. and I couldn't be happier for him. he's probably looking down on us all smiling right now.

I had to go to work early today, because we were sponsoring a blood drive all day today at the T.V. station. Which means, you guess it, I was there.. from about 1:30 until 7:00 we were doing what we call cut-ins. That's where instead of playing a commercial or two we go live at the blood drive and try to encourage people to go out there. We had a good time, but man is that draining. I'm half asleep right now and I've still got another live shot at 10... My back is really sore and I don't feel like doing it, but I'm not a quitter. I'll do what I have to do..

On a side note, I have no Valentine, as usual.. I've only had one ever, and I didn't even get to see her that day because I was working a nice 12 hour shift at Sonic.. man how I miss those days... (not really). I do miss hanging out with all of my friends from Houston area though. You guys are awsome and I love you all. Ok you all know it now.. deal with it!! Anyways.. I want to go home.. but I know I can't afford to do that.. so.. I'm going to tough it out and work my schedule. but on either Wed, or Thur. I've got to be a pawl bearer at my grandpa's funeral so I'll be doing that rather than working. and I'm thinking of taking the rest of the week off from that day so I can go see all my buddies. But then again maybe I'll come back down here intead.. I don't know yet.. I've got a live shot to go do so I'm out of here now.. laterz

Today has been a good day.. It all started off with me waking up to a clean bedroom for the first time in about a month.. yes.. last night I actually cleaned my room. I also learned that if I need my room to get cleaned then I just need a tangle of cables to be sitting on the floor. I can't stand cables being tangled... Also, a little while later, I heard my dogs barking outside, I knew exactly what thet meant... It meant that the UPS guy was at my house!! yay!! He dropped off my guitar that I bought on Thursday... It's fricken sweet. I though for $40 I would be buying a POS that sounded like crap, or was uncomfortable to play like my classical. But NOPERS!! It's got a clean crisp sound and it's almost as easy to play on as my Jackson... So I was flyin when I went to work.. I was so happy. Then it turned out, that I had a live shot at 6 tonight and that was it. So I figured, ok I'll just sit around until I need to leave and then sit around when I get back. the day had other plans for me. There was an accident on a small road called Jecker out near downtown Victoria that I got to go cover around 4:30.. then I went back to the station and edited that. and took off for my live shot. did that and came back to the station. Kelly Yeuh asked me to help her with a project after that. Tuns out the project was a "simulated" gang fight. We got all the guys at the station that like wrestling together and had them act like they were gang members fighting. That was very entertaining. I was the photographer for that one!! We decided to get a first person perspective of getting a beat down too, so I got on the ground and they pretended to throw punches at me. I made it look very realistic by dropping the camera down like someone falling to the ground after taking too many hits. that was a very fun shoot... after that I went out for Kelly and got some video of traffic passing by.. then when I got back to the station, we went and got some video of driving in traffic. Basically I drove around town while Kelly held the camera and shot video. Now I'm going back out to the court house in downtown for my second live shot there today. I'm going to be on a different side of the building than I was earlier too. so it's going to be differentness!!! haha... anyways. I'm going to go enjoy my guitar and my job some more. Later peoplez....

I got myself a new guitar!! yay for me.. I have a non-classical acoustic now! Yay!! It's a Rogue. Typically $180 but I only paid $45 after shipping and handling, thanks to musician's friend's ULTIMATE prices.. they had it on sale for like 80% off... Anyways.. things around here are getting to be quite redundant. Which is why I'm thinking about throwing something new into the mix. Army.. Yes that's right.. you heard me. I'm thinking about possibly going Army. If at all possible I might even get stationed at Fort Bliss with my big sister also! That would be so awsome. and the pay's not half bad either. If I got shipped over-seas I'd be making double pay. which is like $25000 a year. On a side note. I posted this exact same thing on my myspace.com blog and my livejournal. So if you feel the need, go there and re-read it. Maybe even post a comment. You could just post one here also if you feel like it. What do you think about me possibly joining the Army?

I think I'm going to start posting some of the things I've been working on with Photoshop. I thought I lost my disk that had it on it, but I was just going through my old stuff the other day and stumbled across a copy I made of the program. I didn't have any install exe, but was pleasantly surprised when it ran off of the hard drive without being installed just fine. It even had my old serial fix still logged in it so I dont have to go and do that renewal crap all the time. Ok then.. I wonder if anyone will read this. if you do post something completley out of topic and pointless for me to laugh at like "I love you" or "you rock my socks" etc. I could go on but I'm feeling blah-like. So I'm out.
