I got my new Intuos4 drawing tablet from Wacom :D. I've been practicing with it a lot and the free software I was able to download (AutoDesk Sketchbook, Photoshop Elements, and Correl (something*book)). As of right now I've been working on a Mutalisk, Hydralisk, and another Zealot model for my game. Not too sure what else to say. Hmmm.. For Halloween I'm dressing up as a robot. Anyone doing anything special for Halloween, all you have to do is comment =P. Well i'll post more in about a week.

Since last Tues day (1 Week Ago), I was suffering from severe lower back pain which made me unable to sit on my computer and thus not able to work on my beloved Starcraft: Source mod. Over the next couple days the back pain started to go away but a leg pain stated to arise. I walked over to my sisters house to get my back stretched and it felt like I ran a mile with my left leg and the other was perfectly normal. So I fell asleep and and wake up to some excruciating pain (Saturday morning) and not knowing what it was from. The first day I faced the pain by again laying down and with heat patches. The next day I went to the urgent care where they were not helpful one but (telling me my leg wasn't swollen at which they instead told me that it is natural for us not to be symmetrical). I had to go through another night of hell before I was able to see another doctor. On the next day I was able to see a more professional (friend) doctor that ordered for me to get a ultra sound on my left leg. Going around town with this much pain was not fun at all and then I was tested positive for Blood Clots all throughout my entire left leg not-including my foot. After That I was I had my mom drive me the the emergency room an hour away to Loma Linda Hospital. When I got their I had to wait several more hours to get re-tested and confirmed. I was committed around 5 p.m. and received several doses of morphine to keep the pain away. Right now I am currently awaiting for my blood tests to get back, and tell me how this has happened for my young age. I'm currently under more morphine until the pain subsides which it has not. This is also my first time using a computer in a week and I'm on my netbook. The reason I am sorry is because me and my team had a big update coming for the mod, that hopefully would've blown a lot of peoples mind but instead only having pictures and some test work. I have tried talking to the team allowing then to post all my work and unfinished work I did over the last couple weeks. I don't know when I will be healthy enough to work on the computer again, It could be; days, weeks, or even months.
I hope my team can scramble all the information and pictures to make this the best update yet. I will try to post some picture in case people thinking i'm lying.

Well I have a little over a year left before I head off to college. I'm planning on going to my community college for two years and then transfer to San Diego's Art U. Recently I just got my braces on.. Yeah I know I'm way too old or almost to old for braces and they still hurt... The worst part of it is that I wont be able to stay up as easily due to not being able to drink "mah" Coke and or Monster :'(. Right now I'm in the middle of getting a job over at a local computer technician's office, where my brother worked for several years as a start-up job. I've known the man for years but never ever talked to him on a professional basis in person (AKA a interview), though I have talked to him over the phone and email giving him a short but sweet resume. I'm sure ill be able to get the job since I've worked worth computers on a learning process for the past 5-6 years, and the last 2 years of developing my art and software skills.

The only problem that I may have is that my knowledge of other OS's is quite basic and not enough to be of much help. I am learning more about the mac's OS mainly over the web since I don't have 1.2-2G's to spend on a computer. Linux for me though is a much faster and more hands-on expirience for me since I have VMWare installed with a copy of Open-Source Suse v11.

Other than software, hardware is definitely not a important task since I find it extremely easy to know the difference in good-bad hardware and thus i'm skilled into removing parts etc. I did build my computer just out of a bare-bone. I bought it from TigerDirect :)t. It isn't impressive since all the parts came together but it was a modest fix for a cheap price. Hmm..

In my personal life there isn't much to tell, I go to parties but they're not much to brag about, boring yet energizing I guess I should say. The only game I play is Starcraft 2 nowadays. I would play a lot of other games but due to my crappy connection there isn't much fun with 250+ ping. I workout occasionally just to keep my bones and muscles oiled since staying on the computer for hours on end kills my neck and with myself fit and happy it goes away.. < Hmm worded awkwardly lol. Well that seems like it. I just wanted to post it for some reason even though it will get like 20 views and no comments XD. Hmm off to games, life, computer, um.... this? Bye :D

Ugh well, I can't remember the last time I messed with CSS or Action Script. It's been way to long since i've been heavily working on modeling and drawing. For a small project I am going to make a tutorial on how to create your own CSS code and intertwine it with ModDB, so you can create you own cool looking mod page. Not sure how long it will take me but I want to make it as perfect as possible. I will add it too a group page I made long long ago, Miscellaneous Tutorials. I created it since I love to help people but haven't gotten the time to post anything, also broke my mic so gotta wait to get a new one.
