Indeed, it has been. I think it is quite safe to say that the last time I made any aspect of what could be considered a journal entry must have been over a decade ago, minus a few technical logs that I've made to remind myself about how to do something in 3D.

So, where to begin? Well, I can say that I never thought I would actually be doing any of the things that I find myself doing, lately. Five years ago, I would have laughed at the mere thought of myself working with 3D, and I certainly would have been doubtful toward the thought that I would actually go near a dead animal for the sake of preserving its natural essence, even if the only thing that I've actually done is botched up its eye lid while the pro casts an irritated glance. But, hey, baby steps, right?

Just over five years ago, I was sitting on the wing of a C-130J cargo plane out in Miramar, watching the last sunset that I would witness from that place that I will ever know for the foreseeable future. Let me tell you, those five years in the Marine Corps were nothing short of a mental and physical roller coaster ride. But, I'll save that for another time. It was an interesting experience, to say the least. I lost friends, and gained them all the same. Since then, life has been a game of putting things back in to place. It's funny, though; some things just don't fit back in.

I'm rough on the edges, and I have little tolerance for things that truly don't matter in the grand scheme of things. My sense of humor is often darker than I like to admit, to the point that I am sometimes fearful of how people I truly care about would see me. Then again, I'm of the mind that those who actually want you in their life will want you there, regardless of anything...well, unless you make a habit of chasing them down with a carving knife. No thanks!

Where creativity is concerned, I've always been a bit all over the place. Hell, I've been working in audio and video production since I was 12. I love telling a story...any story. I have many interests, and I want to be good with all of them. I know its an impracticality, but if you're going to do something, do it well. I suppose I can send of the message that I don't really know what I want to do, but the truth is that I do. I want to make things that make people happy, or at least make them feel something. These days, my interests fall to script writing, and 3D art. I am not a bad animator, either.

Relationship-wise, I've been on my own for quite some time. Between school, and getting readjusted to civilian has been exhausting, and I'm not one for wasting my time. In my mind, there are few things that should be done without reason be it art, who I care for, or walking down the street. Live with a purpose, and care with a purpose, or don't bother walking out the door. Because if she, he, it, or whatever is truly valuable to you, you won't squander your time, or theirs. Realize, though, that caring about someone does not necessitate them reciprocating that notion. Be there, or don't. They will, or won't. Simple. Well, that's a rant, right? Haha. But that's what journals are for, I suppose.

Until next time...
