I had to turn few of them down because I do not want the customer to deal with the same burden with me for not getting their projects done when my school projects come first. As how much I would love to do their projects, I certainly hope they do fully understand the fact school projects come first for me.

For those of you who haven’t kept in the loop with me, Brit and I are no longer in a relationship, but simply back as friends. Few weekends ago, I went to see my step-sister’s beautiful wedding in Arkansas. I was one of the four brother ushers who brought grandmothers and moms in. It was simply beautiful and perfect wedding. There was a bridemaid who do not have very much time left to live due to a detroiating condition who managed to come to the wedding. Right now, I am in the process of setting up and preparing for JaniCon 2008 as AMV Coordinator and webmaster.

Keep ya posted as things move through!

That’s funny. I hardly uses Myspace and Facebook anymore. I probably have visited the sites once per month or bimonthly. It gotten to the point there the feelings are not true or personal. It is a great tool to get in touch with your long lost friends or someone that you knew that is on the outskirt of your social network. It is not appropriate place for a close and tight communication among friends, and to make matters worse, with your families.

Why so? Families doesn’t need to know the details about you on the Internet when they already DO in real life. If you claim to be something else or provide such false information about yourself, they would see it and have a different opinion about you.

I know that electronic communication is not something you, Leslie, value the most beside the paper and pen. I have to admit that I get on AIM or Gtalk to you, because it is the best time for me to get ahold of you and give you of that short and sweet information.

By having this perspective and increasing lack of usage on Facebook and Myspace, I have attempted to communicate more and more with my friends and families by my phone which is surprising due to the fact that I am not a phone person. Such an example would be my grandparents. They do not have anything to do, but sit around and socialize. If you take your time to just simply call them, they would get the same feeling like they just came out of a movie, truly enjoyed giving thumbs up because they are happy and proud to know whats going on about their grandchildren. It’s more of bragging rights they can use among their friends about their grandchildren.

Since I hate the postal office for their evil price and smart-asses attitude overall, I wouldn’t mind spend on DHL or UPS letter to simply use that paper and pen to send you or anyone a letter or two. Having papers and pen would dramatically improve my grammar skills that I so dearly lack strength in.

Hope you enjoyed some of my perspective! ^_^ <3 -Josh S.

Well, first of all, school’s going slow now which is very lovely and wonderful, because I can get a chance to get other stuff done quicker. Those stuff like people I own a favor or a project that needs to be done that was under dust for long time. I will be working on various projects including my gaming community, my own personal portfolio website so I can keep track of my graphic design progress, and JaniCon’s Anime Convention website which I am the AMV Director and Webmaster there.

Another interesting development going on is that next week, I will be seeing my cochlear implant doctor to discuss and analyze my position for potentially adding a new implant to my left side. It will be interesting how it comes out and the surgery could possibly take place in the summer time, allowing me to be one of the longest-usage cochlear implant bilateral hearing person in the world. After that, a potential opportunity with my retina research doctor from UF/Shands to see if I can participate in this treatment research clinical testing for curing or treating my RP (Retintis Pigmentosa).

Lots of medical things to cover in the year of economic disputes. -sigh- -looks at the insurance bill-

Anyways, there are few friends, new and old that I have gone with and without. Lets start with my good old friends, indeed those of you, I am sorry that I haven’t talk and/or seen you for awhile. I do miss you a bunch and hope I can see you guys again soon. I have made few of new friends like Sam, which is the girlfriend of my good friend, Angel. You know how hyper and childish I can get, and it seems I have found a friend who belongs in the same hyper club as I am. That did make me happy to see and know that. I got to make pages dedicated to my friends and families. xD

Anyhoooways. . . What’s next? Ah ha, school is rolling on as well as it can be. I only got a total of 4 more semesters left which is equivalent to one year left until I get that degree in my hands. My buddy, Chris is getting his in June of this year so it is going to be interesting! xD Traditional 4 years college vs. 21 months Technical school, and I may have managed to get it done in 28 months.

I must and will post MOAR.

See ya!

What does that tell you? All of those things you would have taken for granted including driving. Not be able to strive independently, I would have to rely on other people including my friends, the public transportation, and family to take me around. I am a strong independent person because I don’t like the feeling of being helped by someone, and I would also gain personal confidence and pride in myself this way.

For the positive outlook, I always and have kept my head up the best I can. My mother said “This is just a temporary setback.” I have to agree with her wholeheartedly. For the sake of my agreement, the medical technology and its progression has come a long way with many advancements. In fact, the last time I have checked with the industry, there are three STRONG solutions to my eye condition: a camera implant, time-release capsule of the nutrients at the source, and regeneration of the photo receptor cells from the adult stem cells. How exciting! Those solutions can be presented to other eye diseases and other medical conditions as much it can possibly help.

So, I am not really worried at all nor am I being in the state of depression. All I need to do is focus on school, work, and enjoy life as much as I can. I apologize for not updating my new videos on YouTube and not posting any active blog posts here on this website. This school semester has been proved to be the most difficult I have ever encountered yet.

There are so many exciting changes I can see coming around this corner as this year of 2007 flies like a hitchhiker on the back of the speed demon.

xD Very well, I am going to take my exit now until I shoot another blog soon.

I am attempting to finalize the last furnishing

arrangement of my new condo with few furniture and wall additions. I am pushing over to my school, making high grades in classes, but I had a rough start in graphic design and photography classes. Thankfully, I managed to pull myself together and gotten better in those classes. They are two hardest classes out of all I am taking.

The day is looming over to visit my doctor for the annually checkup with my eye condition, Retintis Pigmentosa. This may determine the major point in my lifestyle where I may have to adapt. Whatever the doctor reports my progress to the Department of Motor Vehicles, they may provoke my license to drive. Therefore, I would have to rely on public transportation or friends’ escort. This doesn’t make me go depressed nor it will drive my life nuts. I simply believe in myself and have the will to make my life better. Your life is supposed to get worse then better after all, is that so?

My family is doing well in wealth and health. I am currently still in contact with them once in awhile. My friends are all in touch with me, and they are busy as I am. I wish them all best and lots of luck. There is one friend who I truly adore, but whatever that friend make a decision in life, I am always there and being supportive all the way. So whatever you read this, my good friend, you got my words once again.

Well, I am wrapping up in my graphic design after a successful presentation of my design layout. I am satisfied and intend to improve even more. I will post the design on here after I am finished with the knowledge of the grade and critique.

Cheers my fellow mates and signing out from here!

I am involved with various of projects that provides deep connections into the industry I am heading toward to. How fortunate am I! All thanks to my wonderful sister who allowed me the opportunity to work for Zvents as an internship. I truly enjoyed working there and look forward to do again, maybe next summer! -gasp-

I am currently getting geared up for a busy weekend with my birthday party at a restaurant to celebrate my 21st with few of my good friends. I got tons of homework and projects I got to complete before the weekend is over. I am so motivated for doing graphic design now after being depressed/lack of motivation to pursue the project.

I hope everyone enjoy this slow weekend!

Here I am in another semester here at UNF, but this time it will be my hardest semester yet. I will be taking European History, Art History after 1940, Intro to Graphic Design, Explorations in Mathematics, and Photography for Graphic Design. Not only they are hard, but they are thick in contents and amounts of information I have to cram into my mind in order to succeed. I gotten lot of web and graphic design projects geared up and away, but only few left I have to finish before accelerating into the full stream of school.

There are so many exciting new changes and addition in this fall such as new TV shows premiering its new season such as Heroes and Stargate Atlantis. Also, two fascinating new games are coming out, Halo 3 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars soon. I am not so sure that I will have enough time play them, maybe in the holidays or slow weekend.

You guys have no idea of how much pressure I am under. I am fully responsible for managing my place through responsibility and financial. For those of you who need my assistance, please be patience during my peak time, and of course, I will not forget about you and your request.

Little flashback into my past summer. . .

I did truly enjoyed my summer since I have traveled over 5,000 miles to different places. San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and other Bay Area cities are all amazing places for me. Purely, I wanted to visit my sister and her family, spend time with them, and do an internship at my sister’s work, Zvents.com. Boy, the experience has been amazing and were full of benefits. A college student at my age who manage to get an internship with professionals from Yahoo, HP, Cisco System, and other corporations/companies in the area and from afar. How lucky I was! I am very fortunate and honored to work along with them. Paul O’Brien (http://www.seobrien.com/), the marketing director for Zvents.com, and the person I have solely worked with him on the development and reconstruction of Zvent’s corporate blog into three new blogs, all optimized for SEO requirement.

I have not yet thank to my sister and her family for their hospitality and heart-warming welcome to live with them for over 2 weeks. Maybe I got a surprise for them. . . heh hehe. >:3

Anyways, its time for me to go now. Class starting now. . .

Until I blog once again,

-Josh
