Long time no update... My life was turned upside down the last couple of months.
When AC had laid me off, I thought, no big deal. I'll find a job, do freelance, or collect unemployment for a while! I WAS WRONG!!! The economy is awful! Companies are faltering everywhere! There are NO JOBS! Unemployment has me filling out forms every second day and doesn't want to help me survive!
I had a phone call tonight where I decided it was time to give up my dream and return to my roots. I would at least be welcomed with open arms and a secure roof over my head. I have no money left for my bills and food... it might be time. I mix juice with half water to pinch pennies. We'll see what happens, but reality of a broken dream is setting in. All my pipes froze during the cold spell last week as well. ARGH!
The really good thing about having some time on my hands was to learn a little bit about Dreamweaver and After Effects and make myself an online portfolio!!!
Lynda.com is the best to learn new software!!! I need to continue to watch my CDs on AE and then tackle MAYA! WOO HOO! I think my site looks alright for now!!! Please check it out!

Anyways, I hope all of you are doing well in these tough times. I wish you the best of luck in your current jobs, freelance, job searches, or just making due with any unemployment you can gather to make ends meet! I hope 2009 brings you something good! I also hope Obama helps repair USA's foundation cracks as much as possible for us all!!! Stay warm everyone!
