working on various tv shows: (redacted, came to my senses and realized i can't say what i've been working on). majority of the stuff i worked on hasn't even aired yet on tv so i can't even freakin update my imdb... losing sleep, struggling to maintain a social life, lost interest in gaming for the most part... i mainly use my ps3 to catch up on my tv shows now... sad.. but true, game of thrones = epic, you should be watching this show, if you're not, ask yourself why and then kick yourself in the shin. i'm beat.. tired... and i'm still trying to work on my own shows, but after work i just wanna do other stuff besides art things.... i work out mainly to relieve stress not so much for actually losing weight... which i haven't really.. lost. i'm not much of a jolly fat man.. i feel like santa from the christmas episode of family guy... oh. and i'm looking to start a part time job as an english teacher so i can make more money.... I miss being young and in high school.... less responsibilities then... sigh...

on the other hand, apparently, i'm a cool dude.. because i've been told by strangers several times that i seem to be a cool guy... and here i always thought i was an asshole.. when did i become cool? i guess it's because i'm roberto.
 
You got nicer as you got older, thus you are now cool beans.

Nice that you're getting work. I don't think I'd mind sacrificing a social life for a little while to make money. I wanted to move after graduation, but I guess that's just not gonna happen. Unless I come into some money. D:

I want another job before graduation, then maybe after I graduate, I can get another and sacrifice some sleep for the money to move the fuck ouuuut, son. God, I hate Memphis. :<

EDIT: I've been watching Game of Thrones and I like it a lot. I'm a bit behind though, so I'm still catching up.
 
is that what happened? sweet..........

sweetie, don't sacrifice anything. take everything. live in the now, fuck what tomorrow brings and remember yesterday as a dream, most importantly is remember to accept it all as it comes. also remember that your goal in life shouldn't be just to survive. it should be to live.

you wanna know what my mother told me? just to paraphrase, she said, son, what are you? you're a human being. and if you any inkling what humans are capable of, there's nothing in this world that can stop you from accomplishing whatever it is you want to accomplish. Because you are a human being. you want it to happen? then make it happen.

so that's what i'm tellin you krit, you want something to happen? make it happen.
 
Time to put my motto here and enter absolute 'mute' mode:

Lots of wise 'sayings'. But very little wise 'doings'.

Of course I'll speak, but from now on only to certain situations. This'll be fun.

Also, good to hear from you, Krit. I was thinking just the other day when I was here about how we don't see you anymore. If one didn't have cable, how might they watch this "game of thrones"?

And what are you going to do for me? Hmmmm?

1: Yeah, capstone. It's basically the FINAL class I havta complete before I graduate, which is a design project. 10 weeks to complete it. I don't know why it's a class instead of just a project, but I guess they want us to pay for it/have a designated time to work on it. (Let's face it, all the people in my major are pro-crastinators. haha puns.)

2. You could always torrent, I guess? It's how I watched True Blood when I couldn't watch it on cable. I'm pretty sure they have the new episodes up within an hour after their showing. :3 Or what Madnis said.

3. Uhhhh. TRES LECHES CAKE?

Madnis:


Thanks for the advice, broham. That's what I was getting at by sacrificing a little bit of social life for a good job. I want to move, so I gotta do what I gotta do, mang. :3 But yeah, I'm so ready to graduate. Been trying to get a job for awhile and it's not only stressing me out, but it's weighing on my family. :[

I was wondering what your major was. Doesn't sound like you're headed to the INS anymore. Or maybe I don't understand something? Bah I'm so clueless.

John, I changed my major to VC (visual communications/graphic design) a couple years ago. I am a woman and a young one at that, therefore, I was indecisive for awhile. lol

Also <3 I havta make a tres leches cake later this week for a friend who's coming into town. :3 I bet she can't wait.
 
when retakes come piling up and stupid fuckin renders need to be made, and every fucking team leader including the director is pulling me this way and that telling me to do this and do that... that's when i really fucking hate this job. it's like nobody has their shit straight. one day they'll tell me the shit is okay and i'm given the go-ahead, next thing you know.. shit isn't okay, and who's fault is it? mine. because fuckers can't get their fuckin minds right. I wanna be back in atlanta so fuckin bad... i'm hella frustrated right now.

Ah yes, I am well aware of the capricious humors of the fairer sex. "A woman's prerogative", and all that. That said, I think you settled down in an awesome place. I have a great deal of respect for anything having to do with the arts. Both in the technical skill and training required and for the creativity and intelligence of the artistic soul. Good on you, Krit.

I think it's possible I'm more impressed however with the fact that you can make tres leches cake.

Well you can make anything you want to happen if you want it enough. That said, I think you wanna be where you are more than Atlanta, at least for now, or you would have up and left already.
 
Madnis, you need a long-distance apprentice? PICK ME PICK ME. :3

John, thanks ya! I'm so happy to be graduating soon. Though, I totally wish I could find a job in my field right now. Working on it, for reals. And lol yeah I can make the cake.. decently well, I guess. My abuela taught me, but of course, nothing compares to hers. :D

Ah, np. It's a funny thing. I always feel like artists are better a better class of people than myself. Not necessarily better people (we'll leave that for a case by case basis) but I am impressed by them. As for that cake, your grandma has experience on her side. In time, your cake shall surpass hers. You have a higher midichlorian count or something.
 
rofl My immediate thoughts:

"This is not the cake you're looking for."

I'm not an amazing artist (yet), but I can say one thing, without even being pretentious. I am so much better at design than all of my graduating class and under. The things they come up with. Meh. It's like they just slapped something on a page. No colour coordination, blurry/altogether shitty images. Just meh. :[ It makes me really sad. And wonder why they're in graphic design. WHO WILL GIVE THESE PEOPLE JOBS? And why is the bare minimum okay? Keep improving your shit. Learn your programs, in and out and back again, goddamnit. >:C I'm not even that great, but they make me look like graphic design jesus.

Sorry, I got carried away there. I just saw something that looked.. just.. terrible. And ranting came out.
 
Krit I'm not a good mentor. I'm still getting my shit together, but if you want me to look at stuff and give feedback I'd be more than happy to. Also I remember when I and a few friends I have had the exact attitude.. It's a humbling moment when it comes to landing a job... It's more about who u know vs your skill. Talent and skill does count for something don't get me wrong, but credibility gets you farther. Landing your first gig in the art field is very hard.. But once you land about two years of experience, it should get easier. By the by, I remember A lot of your old stuff, I'm curious to see how well you developed your talent since then.

Gj gosh, I can't vent? Of course I can make it happen if I wanted to badly enough but I'm not quite there yet... My self imposed exile from the states shall end in 2013... Then it's off to wherever the money is... If its in Cali I'm crashin at your place. Giving you fair warning

Edit professionally bare minimum is okay because
A: cheaper. Expendable employees that is just enough to get the job done. If you have set goal why go beyond what's needed?
B: easier to mold. Someone who's more independent and has their own style and work ethics might not go well with your team and thus hinder the production pipeline and slow work progress down. Bare minimum allows for easily trainable employees that can be trained to work well within the production pipeline.

C: less headache for upper management. Bare minimum employees will do what they're told far more than people who might tend to experiment more with what they're given.

D: trainable. Should be no secret that every studio you work at you will be trained. If you go in with the bare minimum knowledge it allows for flexible training.

List goes on and on but gist is, bare minimum equals cheaper, efficient person. Suited well for production work as usually everything Is done with the idea that basic is best
