I've been gone for a while... I know this. Truth be told, I've moved out of one place, and am about to move out of another. I find myself yet again distraught at my job, I have no transportation and cannot rely on myself, my progress in life is dwindling, and when it comes to my art I've just been uninspired.

However, whereever there is a darker path, there will always be a lighter half. Honestly, I'm moving into a place where I can have a room of my own, and I have the opportunity to grow. I'm going to be buying a car, which will make self-reliance all the easier. This will also provide the opportunity to find a new job, go to college, and even move cross country if I wish. Things are moving up, even so much that I have been inspired to read the Tao again, and I just saw something that inspired me artistically.

As many of you remember, I was gushing about participation in Hispanic day. While working on the picture I was forced to move, so quality suffered (tho, perhaps not more than it would have anyway). However in the 24hours H-Day had 336 submissions. I always wanted to be a loner,.. never knew how good it could feel to be one of a group of hundreds. I'm proud, not of my hispanic heritage (as I have none), but to be allowed to participate in this festival of heritage in general. Thank you kinfolk, no matter who you are.

I'll try to keep in touch
