The Delusional Delights of Doomz

It’s a question I need to ask myself sometimes – if I post in the forum, will it get enough attention? If I post it in my blog, will anyone respond to my thoughts?

But then I realize that spending too much time THINKING about something and not actually DOING it won’t do ANYONE any good, so I more or less go with whatever.

I won’t be nearly as eloquent or verbose as René is in my thoughts, but I figured I should pass along some thoughts and such that I’ve had as of late.

First off, a few nights back, I was discussing OLA and what it’s all about with my girlfriend, and she started doing some research on what other Ontario-based art societies do and how they go about conducting business. I included the links on this in an ongoing thread we have about developing our mission statement here:

I’ll admit it. I have a strong habit of adding tutorials I find useful/interesting on DeviantArt into various collections, but I’m pretty horrible at actually USING them.

Macbook Pro fund = $1020, currently. Will increase further when I actually land a job! Soon enough, my pretty – soon enough

On that note, on week six of unemployment. I really need to find something – being left to my devices all day CAN’T be great for me.

Looking forward to the SSauga Sketch Session this Saturday – it’ll be my first, and I always enjoy being around other creative types – it really helps me get my think on with producing quality work.

Gotta keep that momentum flowin’.

Hey all, so I’m finally getting around to putting together my site (http://www.doomsdayblaze.com), after it having been sitting around for far too long. As it develops, I’d appreciate any help on figuring out what works well, what doesn’t, what you’d like to see from me, etc. I hope to make it the sum of the different things I do in life. I’m actually looking at purchasing a portable music workstation at the moment as well – MIDI keyboard with inputs for instruments and microphone through XLR cable. Nice.

Anyway, just a quick what’s up.

Hey all,

So it looks like I have ample time on my hands to get dumpin’ all this stuff in my cranium into something a little more… tangible. Currently I’m over at the girlfriend’s scanning numerous docs in that won’t get looked at otherwise and just trying to sketch it up and write a little so that I don’t have so much physical clutter around me. In the name of streamlining, you’ll be seeing a lot of things point back to my site (to be resurrected soon), such as an embedded FriendFeed (which houses things such as my Flickr, Tumblr and Twitter accounts, etc.) and the blog I direly need to put together to express myself.

What am I hoping to get out of OLA? My previous experience with WordPress was when I was still working for the provincial government on a system that was introduced there, so I’ve already had an idea of the possibilities that can be presented with it. I’m looking forward to having a mini-community to really discuss what’s going on in my art life, share my sketches, get feedback from my peers, etc. I think we can make this place as good as we want it to be.

For now, you’ll have to make do with this vague sliver of my thoughts, but I intend to bring more.

In due time, my friends. In due time.
