Blogs, life and dreamscapes

This weekend we finally got around to decorating our tree. At the same time I wondered what I could do for my animated Christmas card. I thought it would be fun if the tree would decorate itself. 185 photos later our tree now decorates its self :)least on screen. This may take some time to load depending on your connection speed, so if it seems to be slow go get a nice cup of hot chocolate, don't worry it won't play until you get back :)

Wanted to share some old flash Christmas cards/animations I did awhile ago. I wanted to create one this year but it has been quite busy so maybe next year unless I can get some free time this coming week before Xmas. This is one I created in 2006 after I recently got Flash 8 After you click open move the mouse across the window to stop this one, click replay This one I did in 2005, this was also the 1st Christmas Kristen and I shared together. I did this on a school edition of Flash MX 2004 To get it to stop either refresh the screen or leave the blog. At the time I did not think to input a way to kill the sound. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season!

Another year has zipped by, one could almost miss the daily wonders life presents us every day. I believe time is a state of mind. Most of us either dwell in the past or race towards the future. Missing what they did not have or waiting for that next paycheck. I can say I am guilty of both, though I do not dwell so much as I reach out for what's next in life. Whether I am wanting the weekend to hurry up or yearning for my next goal. I am trying to slow down and take more in. I came to this state of mind due to some news I received earlier this fall. I just had to look back and think about all the stuff that has happened in my life. So many great changes, wonderful experiences and people who have shaped my life. I can't count out the bad experiences, because without them I would not have learned to make the decisions that led me up to this point. So I thank ev eryone for being who you are and being a part of my life. Well, now for the exciting news: Kristen and I found ou

I have been sick for over a week, even now I still some what blech... I have not been sick in years, usually I will feel the beginning of bring sic but it fades with the day... But this is frustrating, makes me wonder what I am doing wrong that my body would allow itself to become ill.. I thought I have been doing things right. I have been eating better than I have in the past, taking vitamins and working out. Well I haven't worked out for the past week, it takes all I can just to get out of bed. This is my first real day back at work and my first time out of the house since Thursday night. I still feel like crap, but I have so much work to do it isn't funny. Goes to show no matter how immune you think you are something out there will break your defenses. Well here is another Dream one of three that I had last night: It was discovered that demons thrived just as humans do here in a dimension parallel to our own. The barrier between the two worlds was thin enough the demons we

Today is just plain blah.. I feel like I am capable of passing out at anytime..Sooo sleepy...Zzzz Wha? huh? oh yeah I am writing a blog. I felt I slept okay last night a few bumps woke me but never the less I felt I slept okay... I did have a weird dream... I dreamed I was in some weird land I was passing this kingdom and saw a wanted sign for a giant that help a princess captured. I almost didn't go to her rescue, but the hero complex I have or something forced my hand, I almost couldn't defeat the giant, but a luck blow as he charged me incapacitated him. Next thing I knew I was back in the kingdom mentioned earlier escorting the princess to her father. Next thing I knew he was saying I had to marry her.. What?! It is law here he replied. Now this princess wasn't your run of the mill fairytale type, she was quite obese and not very attractive. Plus I had someone I loved back home. Images passed through my dream of saying good bye, passing by my true love and calling

Ahh the weekend was chalk full of stuff, seemed like it went by too fast. Saturday we went to the gym, came home and went for a walk, followed by a much needed nap. That night we went to John and Carolin's house for a guild party. Was very interesting we reached uber nerd status as we introduced our selves s our character name instead of our real ones. Mainly because some of us have never met in real life before. Sunday I sent most of the day cleaning the kitchen and doing yard work. I am feeling it today.. ugh... I had a real strange dream, started out I was testing models for a new 3d gaming system. This game was the size of a room and the map was a holographic projection that came out of the floor. It was basically a strategy game similar to civilization. at one point I came out and I went down stairs its an older house with warm lighting. Lots of wood tones. Down stairs a girl was sobbing so I went to investigate and apparently she had ruined a black skirt that she ad

Here it is Friday and I am so looking forward to this weekend. It has been a long busy weekend, I spent many hours looking into a computer screen designing a landing page for WeAreTeachers. I finally finished it this morning and made the requested edits. I was sent a video today that was pretty nice, sometimes we have to remind ourselves what we have to to be grateful for. This weekend looks to be fun, Saturday a friend of ours is throwing a big BBQ for the people in our guild in World of Warcraft. So plenty of good food, strong drinks and warm sun to make for a most fun time. I hope anyway :) Last night Kristen and I went to see Kids in the Hall, she seemed to have fun so it was really nice. I didn't care much for the show though it a a few funny moments. I did how ever like going out to a live show, we don't do it that so much so it was a treat. Anyway guess thats it for now, c'ya next week

Last week was a little crazy, not only was it busy at work, but after work as well... Seemed like there was always something going on. Tuesday my sisters sewage pipe burst and cause quite a mess. So I went and helped her remove carpet. From there I went to my tuesday night game night and didn't get home till after 11pm. Wednesday We had dinner with our friends Wren and Anthony at the same time Anthony and I racked our mead(Wine derived from honey) didn't get home till after 10pm. Then Thursday I wen tback over to my sisters, Both hers and my mom's computer would not load up. Well my mom's I was able to fix by restarting the system with the last know good configuration. My sisters on the other hand had gotten a Trojan and mucked up the system, fortunately it wasn't too serious and I was able to successfully remove it from the system Friday Kristen and I decided to rent videos and go shopping for some stuff, got home around 10 and stayed up until about 2ish Satur

Well what to say on my first blog... Well its been very Monday like today. Very gray and humid out. My rear passenger window rolling mechanism broke so my window no long rolls up or down. Had a pretty good weekend, started exploring the French language I'd really like to learn both French and Spanish. French would be for fun and Spanish would be more functional especially here in Texas. I had a weird dream last night possibly as a result to some sub conscious worry I'm not sure. It took place sometime in the near future. Kristen and I had gotten a new house but Kristen could not work so I had to take a second job as a garbageman to be able to afford the place . I was working with a girl about my age maybe a little younger named Comic which we called her because she was huge comic collector. We were doing our normal rounds in the downtown area in Austin and Kristen and some friends saw us and came by to say hi. They were on their way to the Paramount to see a movie. Comic
