Hey there Real World... I didn't want to hang out with you yet... but I guess I have to

Yeah, so I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm a College graduate.

It's been 5 years getting here, and I literally never stopped being a "student" since the day I graduated from High School, hell, I was already in a College summer class the week I graduated from High School.

So yeah, When I didn't get into Grad School right away I was kinda thrown for a loop.

Now, I'm sure it didn't help that my long time friend and collaborator Greg Lammers got married less than a week after I graduated and I had to be up in Vacaville for his wedding. By the way Congratulations Greg and Lori, I wish the two of you the best.

But anyway yeah... I guess its time I actually figured what to do with myself, because I now have 6 months to a year before I'm back in the mode of Student, and that means I'm "just some guy with an Art Degree" oooo aaaaahh.

Time to Build some websites, start my web review show and try to become legitamately internet famous, and time to start filling out applications for Jobs. *sigh*

in other news if you'd like to check out the comic I wrote/illustrated for my "Graphic Novel" class you can view it here: http://pizza.madartisanlabs.com/ and I fully realize the irony that MadArtisanLabs.Com itself isn't up and running yet.

Also, I'm cleaning off me desk and starting back up sewing projects that I'd had to put off with the whole "make sure I pass my classes and graduate" chaos that was last quarter, and I've suddenly gotten my Nerf Modding/Painting Groove back too so this summer should give me plenty of Blog Fodder.

OH SNAP! I totally forgot to mention I can has a new Camera! Got it as my Grad Present from Mi Familia. Yeah I now own a Cannon Rebel T2i, its a solid Entry-level DSLR and it shoots nice quality HD video too. Now I'd wanted a 5 or 7 D, but this baby costs about a third as much and let me get other things with graduation monies instead of just a camera, so I'm not complaining. Also, It apparently shoots the same quality HD video, but it doesn't have the same level of Audio capabilities on-board on the camera, but hey... I have a shotgun mic, I'm fine.

You may have also noticed that my Etsy Store is still down, and that's because I'm closing up shop on the "Nonsense Monsters" etsy and moving my plush into the etsy store I'll be selling my other "Mad Artisan Labs" products through, figure consolidate everything into one place right?
