Damn, what a week....
It's been a hell of a week. I went DVD insane at Wal-Mart buying wrestling DVDs. They were only 4 bucks a pop, so I snatched up every damned wrestling dvd I could get my grubby little hands on...lol How do ya'll like my new icon? Cool, isn't it. I found this really cool pic of the eye and it was black and white, so me, being me, I got it and colored the iris. I was going to do more and post em, all with different colored irises, but now I can't find the damned picture!! I don't know why I didn't save the damn thing. I just copied it and pasted it into PS and did my thing. I have a thing for eyes so some reason. I used to draw eyes on my notebooks when I was in school. In my art class in high school, we had an assignment to do an abstract piece and I used eyes with swirls, dots and scratchy stars, etc. My teacher thought it was so damned good, she entered it into an art contest in the county fair and I won a blue ribbon for it....lol plus 25 smackeroos...which was pretty damned good for a kid back then...*way* back then. Well, anyway, that's my trip down memory lane for this post. What I'm driving at is that if you enjoyed my Enhanced/Colored Eyes tutorial and you have a suggestion for a tutorial you'd like me to write, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I've been working on a new effect, trying to get down and that's putting butterflies in eyes, like changing the shape of the iris. So far, it looks kinda yuck. I'm working on it, though and when I have it down, I'll post it and let you guys see it.
I was thinking that I'd try and go back to school, for web design, but after talking with my friend Anne, who is actually going to school for the same thing, I'm like no way I can do that. I don't think I can remember all that technical stuff, HTML, I have down, the basics anyway, but PHP, XML, MySQL, and all that stuff, I don't think I can do it. My brain tends to lean towards the more artistic side of things than the technical side. So after that conversation, I was thinking more about graphic arts, which would be stuff like web graphics, print ads, etc. I think I could do that. I really, really want to have time to write too. I love writing. It's been my passion since I was a kid. I'm at a crossroads. I just turned 30 and now I'm reflecting on my life and what I want to do. Do I want to work and have a career or do I want to be a full-time Mommy? I know most women think about things like that when they're like 20-something, but my 20's were rough - very rough. Now I'm at the point of looking at myself and thinking seriously about what I want to do. I tried talking about this with my husband and he just yells and screams at me and tells me how stupid I'm being. 'You can't do that!' 'You can't do this!' Blah, blah, blah... he has a way of breaking me down. Maybe I won't do anything. Maybe I'll sit on my ass until I die. That seems to be what *he* wants me to do. I'm sick of just sitting around.
What was I talking about? Oh, my week...lol OK, I've come to a decision. I've skirted around it forever and ever. I've made excuses, etc..but ta da ta ah!!! I'm going to do a site for John Cena!! LOL What'd ya think it was? ;-) I have my domain picked out, and I'm not going to say what it is because I haven't registered it yet and I don't want anyone stealing it..lol I just started thinking about it hard and I looked around at my collection of magazines, pictures, dvds, etc and realized that 'DAMN! I have a lot of John Cena stuff!' So I was like, 'um, this would be enough for a website!' So I'm going to do it..lol Who's to say if it's going to be a success or not? It might be, but it might not be. I only know I'm doing it for my own reasons and no one else's. I love my John and I wanna do a site for him, so I'm going to. If I can stop myself from licking the screen long enough to get the actual work done..lol Speaking of Mr. Cena or as I like to call him, 'Mr. 3-dimensional Porn', I claimed him in tapout100, so expect 100 John Cena icons from me sometime this month...lol I'm going to enjoy doing those.
Ok, I think I'm done. I didn't cover much of my week, did I? Oh well...*shrugs*
