When you update software and users can no longer operate it it without having to go through and read a guide like they haven't been using it for years, YOU FUCKED UP. If I can't even select a separate mesh with a single click in window, YOU FUCKED UP. Sorry guys, I tried to do a little practice render but just like every other program it seems, the fucking programer/designers thought that USER INTUITION and EASE OF USE weren't requirements before automatically updating their shit

With all that's going on in the world and watching my own friends and family turn on each other for different view points, combined with a good friend and co-worker moving away, I've been in a bad mood. This is good.

This is very good.


My motivation and emotional state needed for me to write has returned to me. I've continued work on my novel which is now in the 3rd Draft Outline form. What this looks like is essentially a multi bullet-point type script to outline the story before I go and actually write it out. For me, I love using this method as I get the important stuff out faster, with the ability to leave notes for myself or anyone to know why something happens and what it ties into later. Important for how long this story ended up becoming. Let me give you an idea how long it is. Years ago when I was first starting Community College after I got out of the Army, I started writing the initial outline. I worked on this outline for a year, working closley with my fiancee for feedback since those who've read my DoA Fan Fic, my work tends to be emotionally heavy, which comes from it being painful to write. When I wrote out the very first draft of the story which emcompasses all the standards of a great story, I wasn't aware of the 'manuscript format' you need to submit to a publisher.


Welp. After setting it up TO be submitted, my computer froze for a few minutes. When it came to, I was staring at a page count of 1048 pages and with 246521 word count.

I wrote a monster. So I needed to cut up the story into multiple volumes. When I did, I had 5 stories that needed to be flushed out further, given their own individual themes while maintaining the overall themes of the story. I'm currently on the 3rd Draft Outline for the First book. There's 4-5 books depending on length of the 4th.

This is a bloody nightmare, but it has given me more time to further refine or change charactrers and they're dynamics with each other. For example, in the OG draft, the main character had a romantic relationship with one of the others, but that has been changed to be more like a parental figure for her. I further developed the magic system of this world, and even given it Equations that help demonstrate the power of the technology they have to deal with. I found even more themes that were present in the story but could now better present them. So, this is what I'll be working on. There won't be any plans for renders anymore everyone. I start school at the end of the month, and I need to keep at least 30 hours a week at work to maintain my health care, which is important due to my CHF. In other news, I've joined a Car Track Team and I'm looking to start tracking my Evo X very soon. I just found out that my rotors are bad though, so that's gonna sting pretty badly. Also, my wedding will be in 5 months, so gotta prepare for that life as well. It ain't about just me anymore, there are things I simply have to do for myself and my soon to be wife so that we can always have the life we wanted.

The fucking hell they changed the site without giving us the option for?! We had an organized way to see everything we needed and now it's all fucked up. Where do we go to ask them to unfuck this?

My very first job was a 63B in the US ARMY, which later became 91B while I was still training.
91B is a Heavy Wheel Mechanic, so think your HUMVEEs, 2.5 ton trucks and more.

I chose that MOS because (other than my MSG Dad standing over my shoulder at the recruiting office making sure I didn't get screwed) because I like mechanics, mainly for cars. 

I was around 14 when the import scene started getting big back in the early 2000s. My dad was part of that craze, turing his 91 MR-2 into a 750 whp monster down the line. As for myself, I was getting my hands on Initial D through the Tokyo Pop Manga and dub. My dad's new commuter (because it used to be the MR-2) just so happened to be an 1986 AE86 Coupe. This was the car I ended up learning how to drive on.  

When I got out the army, I told myself I was done with mechanics.. and upon looking back, I don't understand why. I didn't hate it. I loved turning wrenches, solving problems that even those out ranking me couldn't do. 

When I sold my last 86, I thought I was done with imports and the tuning life.

Now this Evo that I didn't even want initially (as a first pick) brought me back into car culture in general. The need for a new job plus the desire to work on said Evo pointed me to a school for auto mechanics, and not just for oil changes, but for performance tuning also.

It's like I forgot that my hobby could have been a job.

A job that I actually love.
