Here is the video for our spot on MLB.com! We did the whole line-up for the Marlin's!

New Job

I feel blessed finally. I'm working at a job that i really like and things are starting to look up. Its been awhile since I've been able to enjoy going to work. Its....awesome.  That feeling that i get once I come in and get my day started. Stress free is the way to be. Im just jibber jabering here I had a little extra time at work and now im gonna work on some personal projects. Catch ya later whoever you are out there.

Im not so sure

 

This is my struggle. Everyday closer to that self sustainable goal that I seek. Its a lot like walking on the beach. Seeing that pillar that you are trying to make it too, and every step dosen't really seem to get you any closer at least not for awhile.  You get tired cause the sand is at an angle and too soft to step lightly. So you trudge on. I know that I will get there and that is the only thing that is keeping me going at this point. So I tell myself. I say myself cause I know that I'm the only one that is listening.

Facebook keeps people busy. I've been outta the loop so long... laid low for too long that now every conversation feels forced. I know that no one really cares... well I shouldnt be so bold, not no one...just the grand majority does not care. I dont feel that I really have many friends anymore. This alienation has rooted out the true amistades that I have. I knew who they were to begin with, it was more of a reafformation.

I get to go to these sweet meetings every week now...( i hope you can sense my sarcasm) Only 9 more to go. it gives me the opportunity to just draw for an hour and some change. Which is good. I need some time to just let my mind wander. I have been stuck in this mode that just wont shut off... its a blessing and a curse. The motivation is great... but it is such an overwhelming sense of drive that if im not working on something I instantly feel like every second is a waste of time effort and breath. Every moment should be for creativity, I wish I would've found that when I was in school. But I guess better late than never. Right? Im not so sure. It hurts in a way. My need to work takes over every second of my day. It makes me hate the world around me...sorta...hate is too strong a word. I just want to make something worthwhile and lasting. I want to make more than just an impression. I want to make something different and beautiful, meaningful. But its hard... so much responsibility and a lack of caring on other peoples part. There is this feigned resistance that i feel from the world around me, and its surprisingly hard to overcome. The resistance against me is greater than my forced in contrast. I am glued. Unable to move forward. I want so much to just make it. But maybe i dont even know what "it" is. I think I do, I feel that I have the tools and the know-how. But the external elements have not aligned themselves properly yet. I want to force it. But I dont think thats how this works. Simplicity is the key. The best Idea is the most uncomplicated solution.

This rant is at a close.

So long, till we meet again. Au revoir!

A day out with the wifey

Today

Woke up late and got a slow start. need to make some munnies!!!! Getting down on some projects later today.

And so on

Another day another non dollar... this seriously needs to change. Keepin at it though. and attempt after attempt slowly guessing that i'm getting closer to obtaining what i seek. I mean its just the laws of probability that im toying with now send out a million applications and resumes.....one....one has to come back right?

Since no one reads this shit i love to pretend that im talking to someone, anyone, but im my best listener. well at least so far. Its great not to have to talk out loud to hear yourself and blabbing on about who-cares-what no wonder no one listens.
Well im just trying to be better about putting down my thoughts and also trying to keep up and not let my blog just disappear and get let by the wayside. I am trying to keep something besides the lack of funding constant in my life.

goddamn you delicious pumpkin ale! why are you so amazing!
I am fat enough without you poking your beautiful face around and seductively tempting me to drink!!!
I need to workout...
i mean seriously workout.
i keep telling myself but then i just find things like having to make money occupy my time and im not even successful at that.

these should all be different posts but im just rambling off the top of the dome here going in any direction that my mind will take me....
Fuck...



well earlier today i sent out a resume to an office in coral gables and received a reply back 11 min after saying that they really like my email and I should think about doing copy writing and they checked out my illustrations on my portfolio site and they liked them too. I was trying to get away from my previous style of writing to these people because while it was courteous and well versed it lack feeling and substance. It was boring... well at least to me anyway. So, i spruced it up a bit and here is what i said, word for word:
Good Afternoon,
After carefully scanning craiglist for jobs. I came across your post and was immediately intrigued by the position stated in the ad.
I am a freelance digital artist/graphic designer that has been looking for a good home to place my talents.
I see that this position may have an opportunity to transform to a permanent one for the right person, and my creative eye has
been in the metaphorical freelance orphanage for too long. Will you adopt my talents?
Ok i'm just playing around there. I have attached my resume for your review. Please feel free to check it out at your convenience.
Also, for some samples of my work please visit the following site.

Many thanks for your attention, and hope to be hearing from you soon.



Kind Regards,
Jerry Morris

Nice email.

And nice illustration work. You should consider writing copy also. Nice conceptual email you wrote.

Lou Lozada
Creative Director

I was like sweet! it worked! someone responded to honesty and me being me.
then the crickets came
and no word back after i sent the following:
Thank you for your kind words, and even more for your prompt response.
I grew quite tired of the same old dreary email standard and decided that it was better to
just be myself. If people don't like it, or don't respond well to it. Then, in all honesty, I probably
would not be very happy in a place like that for long. Business is business and I know when I need to be
professional, but among my peers and comrades I need to be able to be myself. That is how any artist
works best. If you'd like to schedule an interview with me, I would love to meet with you and discuss our
possible future endeavors. I am available today at anytime.



Regards,
Jerry Morris

is it just me or does that suck???
not to get a response i mean.
