Happy New Year Wow I cant believe its already 09 O.O Its a scary and good feeling, knowing how far I've come in the past 9 years. I know I've changed a lot, but I wonder how much. Sometimes, on certain things I feel like I've become a little weaker. Thats actually something I'd like to fix this year. I say it all the time but I really want to start putting the past behind me. I try, and sometimes I come through with it, but the ghosts always seem to catch up to me at some point. And I know that will prob always happen, so I want to learn to handle those times better.
The 31st of December was the last day my work was in its old building. We moved a few blocks away and merged/took over this other company called Riot, which is now a part of Method, my work. Also that day I was informed by my boss Ryan that I will no longer be a Production Assistant, but now a Jr Artist. So for this past week, I've finally become something i've always wanted to be. And honestly, it really is like a dream come true. This week I've been doing a lot of photoshop clean up for a TVLand commercial and getting a lot of compositing lessions in Nuke, the program we use to composit. I have a LOT to learn, but im learning from some of the best in the industry, and that right there is amazing. Method will be taking on some pretty cool movies this year as well, the new Terminator movie, Transformers 2, and we start on the new Wolverien movie next week. With any luck I might get a shot at one of them doing roto, and having a movie credit would be so awesome! In all aspects, work has been amazing, and kinda scary as well. I'm doing my best to prove myself and work my way up. I went home for Christmas to see my fam and friends back in NM. I had a really good time. On Chrismtas day my aunt had my entire family get together and eat din and give all the kids in the family gifts. That was really cool, getting to see everyone. Hung out with friends as much as possible as well, and my nephew of course wouldnt leave my side during the entire visit. I think I miss him the most from back home. I wish I could be there to see him grow up.. It never gets any easier when its time to leave and say goodbye to everyone. I get all emo on the plane every time when I see the Sandia's disapear in the horizon.. Id say, for the most part things in my life are going rather well. I still feel this like empty spot though, even with all I have. I think thats just cuz I've been feeling rather lonely lately. I'm hoping in 09 I can change my being single status that I've seemed to keep for so long. I think thats what I feel is missing in my life right now.
Revisiting the past.. Decided to log on to my Xanga today, it had been a long time it seems. A part of me kinda wishes I hadnt... ^^" I have a lot of things write'n down in here that bring back to many memories... But, well cant erase the past.
I've been on the ups and downs lately. Work, is actually going amazing. I have to say, I honestly love my job and all the people I work with. I've been doing a lot of Rotoscoping lately, and they are going to be moving me into a fulltime spot as a Roto Artist next year. The promotion i've been waiting for FINALLY is happening! I cant believe Christmas is only a few weeks away. Its crazy how fast time has gone by. Also, that I've been out in California for 13 months now still amazes me beyond believe! O.O I feel like my life has been split into 2 parts, the time in NM and the time in CA... Its a really strange feeling, cant really explain it. I miss everyone from back home so much, and I'm glad I'll be able to see them all soon when I go home for the holidays. I was just thinking about this time last year... a LOT has happened and changed in just a year.. I know we all probebly say this all the time, but it never seems to stop happening huh? I miss how a lot of things used to be with certain people.. and I hate that I myself am still struggling to get through a lot of the same things that have been troubling me for years.. Maybe this new year will be a fresh start, to finally achieving the things that I really want the most. Heres to hoping anyways.... =)
I'm trying to remember the person I was 3 years ago..
I think it may be time to say goodbye to this part of my life... I've shared a lot of memories on Xanga and have got'n a lot of good feedback and insight from people, but I think its time to move past some memories..
Hm.. wow I havent done a post in a long time. July went by sooooo slow! AX was a lot of fun this year, even though we didn't go every day. Maria and Chino came to visit which was really cool. Had a lot of fun with them. Aw man the beach was a blast! My cousins were in town last weekend and I went to Disneyland last week, that was a lot of fun. Work has been going really good. I've actually been using my design skills all week, designing all our print stuff for the Siggraph. Been working a LOT of extra hours lately. I feel really drained lately, dont know if its cuz of working so much or other things.. Just havent felt very good for a few weeks for some reason. I'm glad I have Bootz here with me, its nice haven someone to come home to at least.
