They say that to move forward, one must spend time picking up parts of the past. I use to know what I was doing... But lately, find myself chasing my tail, forgettng why I even started this run. I took down the photos today ~ I can't seem to move around in this shrine. They remind me of what I may never be able to do again ~ yesterday I visited that place in my mind - i don't wanna stay inside today. There's a trophy that makes me weep inside. It tells me, that maybe I let someone down. Too cry they say is too heal... I'm still waiting... There's something no-one can say. I'm always gonna see it this way...
There's something said for someone who can get it right the first time - unfortunately I'm a lazy speller so I'm always doing things over... probably why I'm big on saying so little in my work and rely on visual appeal. But then sometimes I have to ask; myself... am i lazy or just a bad typer, why can't I blame to keyboard - I know how spell "the" but sometimes my finger slips and I get "hte" ... Is it lazy to not remember to let the computer correct what I am trying to say? Why can't I read things over and correct it that way .. maybe things aren't meant to be rewritten (or typed) and you only get one chance to get it right... would you get it right then? It'll never be for me; I still look at the keys when I type.
"Sometimes I wake up with the sheets soaking wet, and a freight train running through the middle of my head"

I didn't say it - but i sure get it ! I'm sure it's three in the morning and I'm typing, writting... drawing... or just thinking about why can't I just do more - wishing I wasn't this small... Wishing I had a team to do whatever we want at any time - to succeed is too adapt ... it keeps me up at night... the train... we live near the tracks and every three hours toot-toot .. WTF... they say I'll not hear it after a while, it been 30 years already .. oh snap...
March 15, 2011 ~ Stolen Studios, created to pay for my OCAD Bachelor's in Design -What Happened? Nothing, I'm still here... still Stolen - it is however become more of a way to remind myself to struggle - too struggle is too ~ it's my so I can sleep at night project. It keeps me balanced, under this I offer free hosting - yes free hosting.. I hate the industry, I hate the term "Brand" I hate the rules that constrict the word "creative" and the larger the "brand" the more rules there are - I hate that this shirt the bares my logo could have been made in a sweatshop... oh wait, it's an american apperral t ... cross that concern off the list. Yes please.
June 8, 2010 ~ I'm only scratching the surface here.. this site will go further and further into the depths that only I will enjoy reading, it will be full of my past and notes that will shed light on the future of this site and stolenstudios site (both being the same) would be good for starters.
I love my Nikon and miss film... I miss the surprise, it always felt like Christmas getting the roll back for the printers preying that what I saw translated to the paper and if it didn't I'm crazy devoted to Photoshop been using it for a very long time ~ I feel like my knowledge in photoshop is like long division is to math...
