For the record, my previous post's title was from the Joe Diffie song
Ships That Don't Come In a mixed emotion song, depressing and uplifting at the same time.
Well, I had a job interview yesterday, and I go in this morning for a second interview, hopefully I'll know today one way or the other about the job. I'll post details later, right now I don't want to jinx anything by saying too much in advance.

People delete their own names, or they're kicked off the site (aka banned), either way, my guestbook is cursed to not have more than 69 signatures, because every time it reaches that number, someone who's signed it leaves the site one way or another. It got higher that 69 once, but that lasted maybe a week or two at the most.
It's a matter of perspective, choosing the right career path isn't something that can be forced upon a person. Trust me, I'm still undecided because too many people tried to push "choose your path now" onto me way too soon. I have found my passions in writing and art, but, they call them "starving artists" for a reason. Art isn't a guaranteed, stable income (just ask any of the artist who helped make Art of Otaku happen). In my case, I'd be happy to find something that I like to do, that pays me reasonably well for doing it. In some ways I rather enjoyed my stint as a hotel maintenance person/housekeeper, it was interesting work most of the time, but I know I couldn't do that for my whole life, it literally breaks one's back to do that kind of thing.
I'm keeping quite on the details of producing that texture, but I'll be sure to use it again in future works.

I'm greatful that you take the time to stop by and read through my rantings too. I'm not a very social creature so I value every friendship I've made on and offline. I do try to be an uplifting person when I can, but even I have my limits, like the other day. I can't be humerous all the time. That reminds me I need to retake that Bebop Song quiz
Waltz for Zizi is way too depressing for my personality.
I have revisited my dragon art, but right now I'm too busy with getting other people's stuff done to worry about what I want to do for me. After I get my sister's gryphon done, I've got Sanosuke to finish and get up here, I've got Hojo and another character to do for someone else who's not on MyO, that makes four pictures to get done, so my dragons can wait their turn.
I can't really comment on "work" right now.

As I mentioned earlier, the people either leave on their own (mostly made unwelcome here by condoned harrassment), or they are banned from the site and "forcibly" removed. There have been some incidents of plagiarazed work going around again recently, maybe some of them got caught doing something stupid, I'm too tird to really care right now.
If I get that job I mentioned, my time will be reduced, so it will take longer to get Sanosuke done and up here, but right now I have less than three days to get an 18"x24" picture of a gryphon penciled in, inked and colored for my sister's birthday. And Wal-Mart cheated me by overpricing the frame I bought (shelf said one thing register rang up $5.00 higher), so I'm taking it back today and shopping elewhere for a suitable frame that's actually priced correctly on the shelf. Anyway, it will be a little longer on Sanosuke, but I'll try to have him up really soon.
