Happy Easter!

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 15, 2006, 9:53 PM
Some of you may be wondering if I still exist. I have for the past few months been doing precisely that. But not to worry, things are changing. Things are changing everyday. Got a few updates for everyone:

:bulletgreen: Being An Art Student Sucks.
This is true of anyone who thinks they can be a computer art student and Not get stuck doing the traditional crap. Well, I suppose it's not crap, but I didn't spend $30,000 to sit around drawing when my field is web and print design. I'm a mediocre sketch artist at best and well... I just don't plan to be doing spot on sketchs or the gallery work for the rest of my life. Trust me, if you see traditional work by me in a gallery, I'll be the owner of said gallery. But, I won't have too much longer at being a student cause...

:bulletblue: I'm Moving!
That's right I'm moving. Where to? Montana. What's out there? Well, umm, not really sure. I can say that it's not NY, so that's a good thing. No, I don't hate NY, but the government of our beloved state is probably one of the worst in the country. Business friendly? Hahaha! That's a good one. Montana is a change, an ability to go out west, and a way to start a business out there. Simple as that. I should be going out there June this year. *Crosses fingers*

:bulletred: So What Have I Been Doing?
Working on various projects here and there. Most notably SeerNET, which is a sort of site network hub. I've also been playing with Magewear and Dark Water Pirate. The network is just a little way I can output some of my geekiness without actually forcing anyone to look at it. But if you do happen to look, I hope you enjoy it and maybe buy something. ;) Also, I've been playing tons of WoW. If you play, I'm on Dark Iron, and my character's name is Eliphas.

:bulletpurple: Why Doesn't The Comment Revolution Stamp Work?
Just before coming back home for spring break, I was informed that the server hosting the stamp (and about 100 sites) decided to die. Then the backups were eaten by a virus. I'm not kidding. I'm helping to reconstruct whatever sites I can, though the stamp will probably get moved over to Seer Interactive at some point. Till then, I'm feeding the stamp in this journal off the scrap pile. I'll hopefully have changed hosting URLs up by next week.

So that's about it. I haven't been doing terribly much, but I plan to get moving along with things at a faster clip as this goes along. Gotta make a few changes around my profile too. Got some rather outdated things like IDs and additional stamps to change.

Keep your stick on the ice,
~ Matthew


P.S.: Thought I'd use Blockquote too.
Seems to be the popular tag these days.

Cheers for the comment man. Sorry that old piece came up in your watch again,obviously i was away at the time but DA finally decided to remove the print option from something that hadn't been available for months anyway....go them :unimpressed:

It's going to college with you? I swear that piece gets to travel more than i ever do!

Either way,it was great to hear from you...hopefully since i left your deviation up as my last fav before my break it sent a few people your way to check it out.

Good luck with college btw :)
