I leaped without looking and I loved it...

In another couple of weeks, it will be a year since I walked away from job and then 2 weeks later; I left Baltimore. It's still quite surreal when I think about it. One of the things I used to talk about when I first started this blog was taking chances and my hesistance to do so often. But lo and behold, I go and take a giant leap of faith. Talk about taking chances!

Now don't get me wrong, it definitely hasn't been a cakewalk or easy. I can say that it truly has been a learning experience for me, as well as a trying time. (Man, I've used a lot of commas so far in this post). I feeling pretty optimistic about my future and future prospects. Adult Choices is something I have dwelled on in the past and I find myself increasingly making more and more of them. I guess I am finally starting to lose that contentment quality that I have had all those years. I've never been a free spirit so to speak but I will latch onto something if it feels real comfortable. I guess that's the main reason that I'm feeling good about my situation because it's ever-ever-changing. Nothing is stagnant or comfortable. Almost everyday is a new adventure, a new struggle,  a new learning experience and I am kind of loving every minute of it just a little bit in the back of my mind. The rest of my mind thinks I'm just strange, lol. That's it for this week guys.

Until next week...

The Week that Was...

So another week down,  another week coming up. I am actually starting to lose track of these weeks. I mean did you guys know that this week coming up is the last  full week of August! Wow...

I am going to try and get back into my sketchbook very soon. Me and one of my ex-coworkers are trying to be each other's accountability partners when it comes to art. Trying to make sure that no matter what struggle we are having that we are still as artist creating. You guys know I have been having issues lately with producing work. I'm hoping this jump-starts my creativity. What ever I do in my sketchbook, I will definitely share with you guys. Well that's all I have for you guys this weekend.

Until next week...

The Nomadic Journeys of An Artist...

So I have relocated to a new place of residence from when I first moved here to Charlotte. It's kind of quaint and closer to all the hubbub that is Uptown Charlotte. I don't quite know how I feel about it just yet so I have yet to judge my situation now.

I do know it's further away from my current place of employment. But that's cool.

What I need to do is get back into the habit of creating. It's been awhile since I've created anything. I'm hoping that I haven't lost my creative edge 😉

Well that's all I have for you guys this weekend.

Until next week...

For Your Consideration or No one exists outside of "I"...

Without giving away too much. I recently witnessed a situation where a guy was less than considerate of others behind him. As things were running low, he repeatedly asked for more or extra. It was like im going to get mines and forget everyone else. It's like the person who parks in crowded parking lot, sideways so no one can park beside them...or someone who stands at the free samples table and eats or takes the majority of the samples because they are free.

What happened to this world? How selfish can you be that you don't have consideration for anyone else? How screwed up is the human race?

I was almost livid at this situation. Then the guy had the false sense of camaraderie that our people have...yes I said "our" people. He had that awww, c'mon brother hookup a brother up...we got stick together; look on his face.

That's another thing that gets me hot. "Our" people only tend to want to stick together sometimes when it's for a get-over or a hookup. Then they wonder why other races look at us differently. Sad...simply sad...

That's all I'm going to talk about this week because I feel like this was about to become quite preachy and I don't want to go that route.

Until next week...

Just another Humdrum...

It's been another one of them weeks for me. I am really going through some things. So I haven't really been myself in awhile. I have almost just been going through the motions.

One thing is for sure it seems like time is really flying...I mean really flying. Just seems like it was the beginning of the year and now we only have 4 more months before it's 2015. Wow 2015!! And my milestone day is fast approaching, crazy. Whowouldhavethunkit!!!

Well that all I have for this week guys, hopefully next week I will have more to say and share.

Until next week...
