It&#8217;s something I need to do regularly to keep things in perspective.  After I finished the five pages I had done today, I stood up from the chair and took a good look at the computer screen.  I felt something I hadn&#8217;t felt in a long time, pondering the little vignettes staring back at me&#8211;the thrill of creation.  The thought that a day ago, those images, messages, patterns didn&#8217;t exist, but that they were brought to life and can influence people to a certain extent because of the time and care I invested in their formation.  It was a great feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but we&#8217;ve got the office set up downstairs at Donald&#8217;s house.  It&#8217;s very studio-ish, but with enough computer equipment and peripherals to make it feel a little Matrix-y  :o)  I still need to put up some artwork on the walls.  It&#8217;s nice to be able to just turn around and see what Donald&#8217;s up to, and for him to be able to do the same with me.  He&#8217;s editing a music video at the moment for a local band, and as soon as I assemble the portfolio and business cards, the promotion (i.e. shameless commerce) will begin.  Rock.<\/p>\n<p>My birthday&#8217;s in three weeks, too!  I&#8217;ll have to surrender my status as a prime number for about six years, but I&#8217;ll survive.  Man I&#8217;m a geek.
