Well I found a new niche for my artistic endevors. My friends & I have started our own RPG company. We've got a few projects we're working on using the Savage Worlds base game from Pinnacle Entertainment Group( [link] ). Currently we're working on Grand Theft Auto as a RPG & including our own new city (GTA Motor City based off Detroit, but GTA'd up) that will be exclusive to the game. After those 2 books we'll be working on a couple more idea's we've had and go from there.

Just noticed that I hadn't been here for a while. Everythings been going alright just taking everything one day at a time. Been working at trying to get back to drawing, but it's tough after not doing it for so long. Also working on some new pictures to post up sometime soon. Hope everyone is well.

And just when ya think things can't get any worse. Found out a couple days ago that my local Denny's, which has been my hang since I was 14, will be closing down on Sunday. This put me into a bit of a foul mood to begin the week. Then the 10 rejection letters I've received from various jobs I applied for didn't do much better. Then today I found out that my buddy Jimmy was killed over in Afghanistan. To say this has put me over the edge is an understatement. I've already had a lot of vodka & whiskey tonight and I feel like going out and getting into a fight. Unfortunately I have a movie roll to film tomorrow so I guess I'll call it a night.

As ever it seems that my vision is exceeded by my real life. I've lately found myself jobless yet again and with no outlet for my frustration. I've gotten to do a few really decent shoots since getting my new camera, but have not been able to get anything going for the last month or so. Sometimes I think it's time to just forget everything creative and turn myself over to the humdrum life that everyone else leads. Unfortunately it seems that even this won't be able to help as the job market here sucks. I've come to the crossroads and have found myself without a map or even a compass. Hopefully something will show itself to be where I should go, but fear it will not. Until such time though I will have to find a way to deal with the enormous amount of stress I've had to contend with.

well I have really gotten back into the groove of my photography. I've been doing more & more shoots as the months have gone on. I even got back into doing my wrestling photography which has really sped up my reaction time. Hope all are doing well & I'll have more stuff coming soon.
