Life as I see it is one big gamble. From religion to personnal morals I never gamble. It something I see can lead to some serious problems and many people think they can control it, I’ve seen it, and they can’t control it. Once you’re caught into it that’s it, your addictive nature takes the better part of your senses and you’re down a big wad of cash.

In this instance I’m not talking about cash, I’m talking about emotions. In life you gamble with your emotions and you hope for the best roll of the dice. You gamble with the trust you put in your friends, you gamble with the love you show someone, you gamble with your feelings. Obviously the alternative is to live like a hermit and not have any human contact whatsoever, and we know how unbearable that would be after 2 days.

So what’s the alternative? Trust me if I knew the answer to that question I’d be the happiest man alive. I guess the only way to live life is to know how much emotion to invest in a particular situation, person, country, politics, ANYTHING. You have to strike a balance.

So essentially if you’re anything like me you’re fucked. I’m too emotional about things, too trusting in people, too gulible in life. What hurts the most however is that I realise all these things, but that’s what makes me who I am.

As a natural born optimist however I’ve got to see the upside of everything, the glowing aura of the situation, the silver lining within the grey and dim clouds. Some days it’s harder than others, my only consolation at this point in time is to say at least I don’t gamble with money, my emotions and psyche heal after a while, no matter how hard my ego is hurt at the time. It’s the way of life, and some of us handle our ‘losses’ in complete and different ways.

I thought I’d include my favourite poem in all the world here for the world to share. The writer doesn’t know I’m doing this, but I personnally believe this is the best thing he’s ever written. The man in question is Stathis Londos, Greek friend with heavy South African roots. If you need to contact him, do this via me, since he’s less than great about the whole e-mail thing. He called this poem Dream 98, although I think he should rechange that name but that’s not for me to decide really. This one poem spawned me thinking up an entire story which I hope to complete at some point in my life. So without further adieu this is my best bud’s poem, Dream 98:

The light around me he dimmed He woke the cloud “terror” it seemed Moving over the sun only to harvest The light from my eyes to complete darkness

Though fear wasn’t there to torment I lay there tranquil with no repent The silence got louder and louder His power felt stronger and prouder The loudness one with complete utter silence Stripping my sense with no violence

My mouth now in a state of dryness The bitter taste- strong before was now less I knew well of what was happening to me Unbothered my thoughts let it be

The smell- not smelled then became empty The one above had sent for me All I had left was a life time of memories Vague once - clear now - gone too - only accessories

He stood over me, my heart not pounding Then he touched me, his hand cold like the surrounding Body numbing, I couldn’t feel myself lying Body numbing, I felt myself dying.

By Stathis Londos

Right so I finally saw KILL BILL Volume 2 yesterday. Before I continue I’m going to say that this review has major SPOILERS. I’m going to be talking about everything I liked and disliked about the movie in detail, so be warry. If you’ve not had a chance to see it, go somewhere else, come back once you’ve actually seen it.

Right now that that’s out of the way let’s get down to the task at hand. Tarantino’s 5th movie. This was completely different to the first one, and yet it was a natural extension. While the first one had the emphasis on style over content, a bombastic romp into every movie tarantino loved watching, his homages to all kinds of cinema coming through, this volume actually felt like a tarantino flick. It had loads of scenes that made you uncomfortable, like in Resevoir dogs and Pulp fiction, and at the same time it had many scenes that made me laugh and smile and came off as very tender moments.

The scenes that made me feel the most uncomfortable were the ones of Uma in the coffin. Everything about how that entire scene was shot showed a man who knew how to keep the audience on the edge of their seats even though they KNEW she would come out of it ok, since he tells us right at the very beginning of the movie. That’s what made this movie good, in that everything is spilled out for you and yet you still forget about the girl even though that’s the first thing that he shows you at the beginning of the movie.

David Carradine was AMAZING. I used to watch him regularly on the TV series Kung Fu, he was the grasshopper and his master was blind. A disgraced Shaolin Monk he wondered the american wild west, it was a classic TV series, which he tarnished by appearing in the follow up with his ‘son’. Geeze what a load of rubbish. He’s lost some weight and he actually looks brilliant in his black suit.

Uma also impressed me no end. The training scenes looked brutal and she carried those off just as well as she did the scenes with her daughter, the crying with Bill, the entire package was done in such a way that I thought this was a worthwhile movie. I got my money’s worth of movie, felt saticfied and can’t wait for Quentin’s next movie, which hopefully shouldn’t take 5 years to come out.

I’ve got theories that I generally share with friends whenever I feel like the conversation is dying down. Sometimes I say things just to get a rise out of people, and other times I genuinely believe what I’m saying to a certain extent. I’ve come to the realisation that I haven’t actually thought up any new theories in a while, strange but true I feel myself regurgitating the same rubbish I used to spew out like 4 years ago, and sometimes even more than that, and I’m getting a bit old for that sort of rubbish to be honest. So from now on I’m going to write my theories down here once in a while and that will be the last time I ever talk about them. Think them through or not and actually write them down in some form.

I’ll call them Khaled’s Laws of Bollocks.

God I’m tired. We went to the Basketball challenge today, and I’ve got to say we did better overall this time round considering it was the shortest team that could possibly show up to a 3 on 3 competition. We fared pretty well I thought all things considered and I think it worked well, except for the last game, where it was a massive mismatch with the tall guy, he’s wasn’t so much a guy but more like a giant, I mean this guy was huge. I was having a pretty bad day, headache, and nothing was going in, so I tried to get something back by going for the defensive side of things not letting anyone down from my end in that respect, it’s just that well 3 on 3 is a completely different kettle of fish, and I’m completely out of practice.

To top it all off that asshole smug fuck on their team wacked me in the face, on my nose I could actually feel it crack into place, and I might get some black eyes in the morning, and then he has the audacity to tell me to stop pushing, the guy was playing just as tough as I was, he was just frustrated that I wasn’t letting him out of my sites, easy as he’s had it in the past few games.

Tough couple of days ahead of me at work, seems like sometime I can never get a break. I guess those are the punches you’ve just got to learn to deal with them and keep on ticking.

And I’m in the house. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with myself today as I thought I should be doing stuff since it’s such a nice day here, but truth be told it didn’t feel it was going to last here in London. I guess that’s the problem with British weather, it’s complete unpredictability. So it’s a bit of a wasted day, although yesterday was supremely productive. I guess it’s just as well really, thinking about it I’ve had 2 weekends away from my house, so it’s a nice change of pace to actually stay indoors, even though it’s really nice. If the weather stays like this it’s going to be a good year for basketball, as we’ve been heading down a few tube stops to the ‘local’ basketball court. Spring’s here and everything seems soo much nicer and more hopeful. A complete and utter reguvination of the senses is found with a little bit of sunlight.

Watched the formula 1 today. Damn it was well depressing. I mean Ralph really is pretty crap, and it’s time they kicked him out. Some people might argue that the car isn’t delivering but his teammate seems to be getting somewhere even in these conditions, might not be the ideal results but at least they’re podium spots. I suppose the same can be said of Barricello, even with a friggin Ferrari underneath him he still gets 7th place, what a looser.

I really got into Williams last year and there’s something ‘cool’ about the new walrus Beemer F1, sadly the actual interaction between the team and the drivers is soured by the fact that both of them are going to be leaving the team next year, and it’s just ending being a pretty rubbish year for Willaims supports. I just hope they actually get it together in time and start winning some races. We saw a bit of excitement in the first lap as Montoya tried overtaking Shuie, but unfortunately this was a small attempt and after 1 lap Montoya never recovered. Thing is he’s probably looking at Mclaren and what they’re doing and thinking to himself, ‘shit what have I done. I’m going there’. See as bad as it is to be a Williams fan right now, it’s even worse being a Mclaren fan. Always a silver lining.

For some funny comments by Jaun Pablo, go to these two pages, here and here. I especially loved the very final comments made in the second page, too funny, shame I missed it I was soo pissed off, but not half as pissed off as Juan obviously was. That’s why I guess people like Juan, because he just says his mind, he’s not trying to be diplomatic about the situation, he’s annoyed he lost the championship last year, he’s annoyed his car isn’t up to speed, he’s annoyed he hasn’t been able to get a win, and friggin Ferrari have scored 4.

Yes I’ve changed the design AGAIN, in that respect I guess I’m an architect, however I think you’ll find that as I keep adding to this place it’ll be a much more pleasant journey from start to finish. This is a BETA version, so by no means finished. Give it a few more days and it should get there. So what I’ll probably do is try and post an edit on this section every time there’s something relatively new. To be honest I usually don’t do this, usually I’d like to have it finished in some way, but Im pretty excited about this design, since it’s simple but looks pretty pro from the outset so it can only get better from now on in my humble opinion.

So after god knows how long, actually probably something like 3 weeks I finally did a bit of designing, other than for this blog. I’ve still got loads of little things I need to sort out for this blog, but I’m working on that as well. Just completed a logo for a charity organisation for a friend. He’s a good guy, heart in the right place, very strick views about things but he means well. I promised this 3 weeks ago, so I think he’ll be happy to actually see it. I’ll be doing a few posters using it. This is just the logo, I think 2 illustrations to accompany it should be enough.

Well went to Cheltenham this weekend. That’s two weekends outside London in a row. I’ve got a trip to Newbury and a trip to Italy and a trip to Southampton planned in the near future, Wales sometime in June. Man, busy and expensive couple of months ahead of me.

The countryside road trip was very good fun, and it was genuinely nice to try and get out of London again. I’ve been enjoying these mini trips. Unfortunately there is no time for all the other things I’ve got to do in order to actually get anywhere in my mind and with my life.

I’ve got loads of things on my plate right now, and I’d really like to try and complete some of them. So far all I’ve accomplished really is strarting projects and not really taking them to the next level which is very annoying for someone like me. I think as of this week I’m going to actually try and get things done and sorted. I’ve got a few days with extra time so I shouldn’t really have much trouble trying and sorting them out.

I’m going to finish redesigning this place again, I’ve learnt a few tricks and this was a good test of what I can do with css and mt so now it’s time to make something really special. Hard I know but it’ll be damn good fun when it’s over. I think it’s good to try new things.

Today I’ll be honest, it’s been less than productive. Be it at work, or at home or whatever. Seriously the only good thing is I got a haircut, it was getting pretty bad and all it took was seriously 20 minutes of my time if that, 20 minutes, and I kept putting it off again and again, I guess I’ve had some pretty RUBBISH experiences at hairdressers that I really tend to shy away from them. Just don’t feel particularly comfortable in the places to be honest, but this place just sorted me out nice and simple and fast and affordable.

Man I really want to love my blog design but I can’t lie, it hasn’t really grown on me. It’s ok in parts but nothing really special. It took me a while and I had fun but I think I’m going to try something a bit more special. I’ve been doing some work on my iliosnare website. That’s going to be a kick ass website. I think the logo has given me a boost in terms of where I’m going. I’m going to create something special in the following weeks to come.

Tomorrow I’ll be in Cheltnham, hmm no work done tomorrow that’s for sure.

Loads of reading to get done though. Three blogs I’d like to write stuff in, or at least 3 categories, all very very diverse in what they talk about, one animation website, with the wee character in the top right hand corner as one of the main guys, iliosnare.com and a few logos and a graphic novel, and 17 drawings. 3 I can see clearly in my mind. Hmm I’m being beaten here, but I knew I didn’t have much of a chance these few weeks due to life getting in the way in general.

<

Got a few ideas in my head right now, at least 7 drawings I’d like to start, all with my new vector style. Eventually I’ll start developing a new style with my 3D programs, it’s just that my hardware right now isn’t really up to the task. As such I’ll be using my laptop for a little while longer. 7 drawings clear in my mind.

Been a while since I mentioned my book. Absolutely no progress right now, I’ve been too busy with other things in my life that I’ve had absolutely no time to deal with it. Strange as it sounds, I’ve been doing too much stuff after work, and my job is actually sucking most of my life force out of me. I dunno I’ve got to see what I need to do.

I’m continuing to do various things to this place, to the comments section, just adding making it look ok, and then I start with links, it won’t be a finished product I don’t think for another few months as I’ve got to really learn a few more things before I can say that I’m happy with it. It’s ok for now, but I can’t help but keep tweaking it. I’ll probably make some icons because I can :)

Yeah well this is my blog and I’m a bit upset about this. I can’t say I was completely and utterly in love with this book. For a start it didn’t have my favorite characters in it, and it wasn’t really snappy enough for me. The thing is however is that it really was unique in the comic book industry. It was telling the lives of the people who were trying to change the world, in the only way the current world seems to want to change, through money. Forget about fists and wars, it’s all about the money. Not so much the money itself but what people do with it. And I suppose from that point of view it was smart reading. I’ve got two trade paperbacks sitting right next to me. That’s 12 issues, and not a single guest artist, one man dealing with the art and tone of the entire series. Slick as hell, and just generally very well put together.

The actual covers were a collaboration of Dustin Nguyen (the artist) and Rian Hughes. He can be found here Not a bad little site, but his work does truely inspire me in terms of graphic design. An incredibly versatile artist/designer. I’ll hopefully review his book at some point.

So this is a pretty crummy time for my collecting habits because I actually looked forward to this book. Oh well, they’ll hopefully revive it at some point in the future and maybe they keep ideas from this one but get a more competent writer to instill a lot of excitement in the series, who knows.

So I just got back from my mini vacation to Nottingham, and what a two day break it was. Cram packed from the word go, and hasn’t calmed down till this very minute that I sit here and type this quick thoughts dump. First off Nottingham Uni has changed a great deal.

image taken from official website.

Off the top of my head, the area behind the Union has completely been blown up and a new spanking bookshop has been errected, further work continues in the area right behind that as the Union shop has also been eradicated, that entire area will look completely different pretty soon I’m sure. There is a brand new building that links the old campus with the QMC. This thing has got water fountains and all sorts.

There probably are other things going on as well that I didn’t get to see since it was a brief drive through, but Nottingham city proper has also had a major lift change as well. The nicest thing I can say about it is the new tram system. NET as it’s called. Absolutely lovely. Looks amazing and has got this amazing sound to it, rather than the harshness of a bus. Go to this link to have a 360 view of what it looks like on the inside, here . And for a better look at this system check the official website, here. I’m going to add that this is also a terrific website, in that it’s got loads and loads of information and they’ve really made it stand out as something special. I’m not talking about the asthetic design here, just the sheer amound of information available and it’s all clear, which basically shows how well designed it actually is.

I can’t wait for these trams to be used in the major cities of the world to be honest.

I know Athens 2004 will have them supposedly, whether or not this is the case is a completely unknown fact.

As exhilerating as it is to finally get something to work in MT it’s just as frustrating when things don’t really go your way. As such I’ve been trying long and hard to sort out the comments systems. I know hardly anyone will use them, which is fine, but dammit I’m a perfectionist and I’d like to make sure my blog works like clock work for the forseable future. I mean I went for 4 solid months without even touching the blogger template because I was relatively happy with it.

In other news I’ve booked my ticket to Nottingham tomorrow. Damn it’s going to be a long weekend, but good at the same time. I’ve had a very relaxing day today, just watching episodes of futurama, sorting out this blog and listening to tunes. Ate too much and generally slobbed. I’ve got to get outta the house by around 7ish, so that I can get to Kings Cross, get my ticket, and my young persons railcard renewed, and hope to god I don’t miss the damn train, in addition I’ve got to get to Nottingham before 11 MAXIMUM so that I’m there without any hickups for the go-karting, damn like I said from the moment go tomorrow is going to be one to remember, second stag night this year, and as far as I can tell it’ll be the second of 4 in total, one of which I might be organising.

As you grow the things you do are obviously different. When I was younger other things were more important to me, and I experienced completely different things, and I’m sure in the years to come my experiences will also evolve.

Well the details to this here blog are starting to come together in a nice way. I’ve got my random image generator at the top there, which means I’ll be adding random images at least 1 a week to the little space, hell I might go mental at one point and put 30 in a week, whatever, I think it’s a cool little feature keeping the site fresh for when I’m busy to update with words and links and whatever. The mechanics of the site still haven’t been sorted out yet, should have them done soon though, it’s not hard, just takes time. Once I’ve finished that I think this blog will have been one of my best sites so far simply because I’ve actually done what was in my head, a rare occurance indeed….

As I was on the train towards Ayesbury, which is in Buckinghamshire, near oxford I realised I hadn’t had a day outside the office since end of January, and that seemed like ages and ages ago, and yet it only really was 2 months ago, I only got paid for my expenses like 2 weeks ago, so strange how time flies by.

I’ve got two absolute days from hell coming up. Very busy at work, and then I can kinda relax for a few hours before going up to Nottingham this weekend for a stag night, and the week after that I’m up near cheltham for Sammy boy, it’s going to be a crazy couple of weeks, very under the gun, will need a break after this, oh yeah and I’ve got to go get a god damn visa so that I can see Alfonso’s wedding, man if I get any design or art done in the next few weeks it’ll be a miracle. Tonight I’ve got to sort out the a logo and probably make this weblog slightly more attractive.

This has been a long time coming. I’ve been building towards this for a while now, and this shows a lot of hard work finally paying off. In the next week I’ll be doing some major tweaks to this place, making it look more and more pro. I’ve had to install netscape navigator onto my pc, and I must say I like it a lot better than iexplorer. The problem is there are a few kinks in the code that I need to sort out for cross browser compatibility. It’s interesting to get there in the end. This moveable type business is harder than I originally thought, but well worth it in the end.

As you might have noticed the templates for the comments and the previous blog entries haven’t been sorted out yet, that’ll come soon enought, part of all the work that’s going into this. On friday this was all a distant dream of actually finishing this off. The reason I say it is because I won’t have to really change this at all. All I’ve got to do is tweak this little puppy every once in a while to keep it fresh. No longer need my blogger account. Like I said before

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA……

Right this is going to be a busy week ahead of me. In fact the next 10 days are going to be filled with pressure. From work and from outside work in terms of what I’d like to accomplish, the list is scary. Having had my coffee this morning, and a decent 8 hours of sleep, listenning to some decent tunes I think I’m ready to tackle the friggin week. I might have to pop into work this weekend to start finishing off something for the report. It’s something I think I’ll be proud of in the end. Better learn Indesign pretty quickly as well, since I’ve got to do the report in that program. Hmmm, don’t know if that’s such a good idea, but those who try succeed in the end I suppose.

Still haven’t done anything on the tally yet, although I’ve started tackling the various bits and pieces….just nothing to show yet.

The bad guys - The good guys 3 - 0 websites (kaydo, iliosnare, x) 18 - 0 illustrations 1 - 0 font (iliosnare font 1) 1 - 0 logo (ots) 1 - 0 promotional pdf (iliosnare) 1 - 0 graphic novel script (deliverance)

A few things I’d like to tackle this April:

1. Start learning how to draw clothes correctly.
2. Sort out my moveable type blog, and integrate everything under neath this hear blog as well.
3. Finish off the few drawings I’ve got in my mind, 18 in total, getting up to the 25 mark.
4. Sort out the logo for OFT (Off The Streets) charity organisation
5. Finish off the Kaydo poster to replace the existing Kaydo website.
6. Begin the iliosnare design for the website, produce small animation for the coming soon section.
7. Create a font style for the iliosnare website in general
8. Create a shopping list of components I’d like my new computer to have.
9. Update the iliosnare pdf to include the images I’ve been working on now, compile a list of art directors I’d like to send it to.
10. Finish off the script to my first book.
11. Come up with a name for the blog I’d like to have.

Shit busy times ahead of me. Should be a pretty productive month. I can feel it. Iliosnare should go like May 1st. Gives me a good month to come up with everything and then have a massive splash. It’s going to be a hard month, but saticfying in the end I think.

I’m going to keep a tally at the bottom of every blog and every time I update it I’ll see how far I’ve gotten in terms of productivity. I suppose all sorts of extra stuff might come along, but I’ll add those as well, at least I’ll be able to be track what I accomplished this month and what I didn’t bother with. Could be interesting. So far the bad guys are winning…

The bad guys - The good guys 3 - 0 websites (kaydo, iliosnare, x) 18 - 0 illustrations 1 - 0 font (iliosnare font 1) 1 - 0 logo (ots) 1 - 0 promotional pdf (iliosnare) 1 - 0 graphic novel script (deliverance)

So I got a new computer at work today, and I’ve actually been enjoying work lately, simply because I’ve been doing some artwork there and some cool consulting as well I guess. It’s a buzzing time for me, and everything looks and feels good probably due to the weather. I feel as though I’ve made better friendships with some people, while others I seem to be more and more distant with. It’s strange, I try and yet I don’t seem to be really clicking with people I honestly thought pretty highly of. I guess it’s all part of the world we live in and you move in with your life, and people move on. Strange as it sounds I feel like I’m loosing friends, and gaining other friends from places I didn’t really expect.

I’ve decided to try and buy a new computer for home. God bless this computer I’m typing on. It’s served me amazingly and truely has been a complete and utter workhorse for me, however it’s time to use something that’s exceptionally fast. I can actually afford it right now and I think I’m ready to make the leap to 3D modelling. It’ll be hard but as with anything I think eventually I’ll be good enought to tackle that aspect as well, and then I’ll be ready to take on the design world, and the comic book world.

Life seems to be going well as I say good buy to March and welcome April with open arms.

April hope everyone has a good april, and here’s hoping the world sees a peaceful month, because something tells me the following months are going to turbullent for the international scene, probably since the americans have their elections and their rat bastard ‘leaders’ need to make some noise, and since they seem to have the economy of countries in their grip this is all going to get ugly sometime in July, mark my words…it always happens, and the cattle continue to follow their fearless leaders in the great unknown, as they rape each other from all morals and objective humanity.

So I’m sitting here trying to understand how exactly I should play this whole blog thing out. I mean for a while there I was doing well. I was blogging nearly every day. Not really telling much, just my thoughts what I was feeling that sort of thing. Thing is a lot of my thoughts are my own. They’re personnal and while this does seem like it should be used for these things, don’t really know who reads this, that’s why it’s a public blog. So I guess my next stream of thought is to try and come up with a reason for this here blog. I’ve got loads of thoughts and usually I think about them but never set them down in a coherent fashion. Also I’ve noticed that I actually write less when I’m actually being productive and actually typing things out and actually drawing and designing, and dear god I have been seriously designing these last few weeks. I’ve been learning a great deal of things in the past few weeks, a lot of which you’ll start to see in May. That’s for that major revamp that’s hosted by MT, or mediatemple as they like to be called. Whether or not I get my hosting with them is something I’ll see to in the future. Right now I’m happy with nzwebit. So I think I’ll actually start tweaking up this friggin blog a bit and then maybe finishing the actual interface to the new kaydo site sorted out, which is very literally a friggin image on the main page and the logo I’m going to get on there.

I’m not complaining it’s just that I wake up and I honestly don’t feel refreshed sometimes, or ready to do some work early in the morning, it’s strange I used to love it, and used to get a lot done, now I’ve got to be in a certain way. Hmm dunno, hopefully I’ll actually snap out of it. Now to choose what to wear, god I hate that routine, every day I have to think of something I can up on, work clothes ethics piss me off…

I’ve been riding this massive creative high now for 5 solid days. All the images or most of the images on this site have been tweaked and have a more professional feel, hoewever it’s going to take a lot more work to be honest, because I can see some major short comings with a lot of the work. I suppose these are my learning years, but there is a massive leap between what is on the site and what I’ve got planned for the actually relaunch of this hear site, this blog and the new iliosnare site. It’s going to be a very busy couple fo weeks. I’ve actually gotten 7 images out of my head. I said I’d deal with at least 25 illustrations. I’m sure I’ll go back to many of them and tweak them here and there, just give them more structure than what they currently have. I think this is what sets the good from the mediocre from the shit.

So what the’s the deal with the book, good question. I had a massive rush a few weeks back and now it’s faded on me again. So I’ve got to try and come up with something a bit more of a structured approach to it and actually adhere to it. The problem is I wake up in the morning and the last thing I want to do is sit down and try and do some writing. I guess my drive for a lot of this stuff is wanning, but every once in a while something will come along and wil make me think twice and I’ll be able to get back into it I hope. March is coming to a close and I still haven’t finished the script. That’s pathetic. I’ve done other things in the meantime, but I think as of this weekend I’m going to sit in and just finish EVERYTHING once and for all. Tall order I know but I think it’s time I had a 120 page script sitting next to my bed with my name on it and I should really start to illustrate it. I don’t have much time to go to be honest. I’ve got the paper, so it’s time to take that next step.

How to create an identity in a weekend. I’ve been working furiously these past few days trying to set things up. I’ve hit walls, cars whatever along the way. That said I’ve achieved something pretty special to me at least. I’ve been able all these things I’ve learnt in design and whatnot to come up with something unique that shows off my work.

This place will be converted to my little section of work dedicated to my animated project, while iliosnare will hold my design aspects of life. I’m not sure where to insert the blog to be honest. I know I want a blog but I don’t think it’s really appropriate for iliosnare. If I’m going to take this seriously, which I am I think it would be advisable to try and come up with a seperate url for all my thoughts and have them written down in an honest to god proper looking blog. Have some fun with it really. Import all these posts into the archives and start sorting the plae out.

Lots of work, really not a lot of time. I’ve got a pretty quiet week ahead of me thankfully, nothing really planned except for a birthday this saturday which could be fun, and 2 basketball games, hope my group meeting doesn’t run after 8, since I’ve got the game at nine and I’ll probably need some time to get there.

I’ve been doing a lot of research these past few days into a little major redesign of the place. Hey it has to stay fresh for me, and I was reading this article about the main guy from cubancouncil and he was saying that his personnal portfolio/website keeps getting changed nearly on a daily basis since he’s never really happy with it, and here I thought I was the only one with this problem.

The thing is I have to concetrate on other aspects as well so I’m going to do this redesign and won’t think about it until much later on in the game. Maybe 1st of May for the relaunch. I’m going to have to start thinking with my brother about the little idea that we’ve got brewing. It’s going to be a busy few months in terms of design and art I can tell so this place might become really rich with stuff at some point. I’ve also reinstalled moveable type, and since I’ve actually found out how the thing actually works I might be able to start making it look nice and might even replace this here blog. Trust me the moveable type blog is a lot more friendly and will in general look much better and has a lot more features.
