Today Will Be A Good Day!

It's Tuesday May 23 2023...I have a feeling that today is gong to be a good day. I had my sleep, the sun is bright on this brisk morning. Kate is having her usual Chex cereal while watching Hanna Montana on Disney Plus. Carter is enjoying his bowl of Flintstones fruity pebbles, and the dog is outside sniffing around and ready to bark at people walking on the path behind the house. My wife is over at her mom's getting ready to get paint for the painter. 

I start my new job today for Elliot animation. It's been over 10 years since I used flash, so its going to take time to get back into the saddle. I'm going to do my best at this job, only if its for 4 months with no indication of work afterwards. I am going to take my time. I am going to make sure my animation is top notch, you need to be top notch to get noticed in this industry. There is no short cuts, its all in!

Today is invoice day for my freelance job, Sphere Animation. if I squeeze 1 more scene in, I can get $1350.00, which is pretty damn good for a freelance gig. Usually I bring in between $900-1100, so any way of bringing in extra money helps us a lot.

Well, better start with a shave and a haircut. 


Its going to be a good day!

What a weekend!

Image
Well, here I am again. it's been a while, but thought if I'm going to be a writer, I might as well try and practice.  It's Monday, and the start of the week. Normally i don't like Mondays, especially after a great weekend, but sometimes Mondays can be refreshing. It's a new start to the week. Time to clean the slate clean, brush off the lint from the shirt.  The weekend was awesome. Friday night, Nana was kind enough to buy everyone tickets to go see Joseph and the Technicolor dream coat, being performed at the Jacob's Playhouse. The show was fantastic, way better than the one at Mervish in Toronto, and much cheaper. Before the show we had dinner at a family restaurants called "Jack's" The service was great, the food was hot and man oh man, the portions were huuuugggee!!! I had the chicken fettuccine with rose sauce, and it was darn good. I could only eat half and eat the rest the next day. Nana had the fish and Chips, Kate had a burger, Crater had...

Internet Addiction

Hello, my name is Darryl and I have an addiction...it's the internet! The internet has destroyed my mind and productivity for many years and I have had enough! My work productivity has decreased, I have become lazy!  So many times during the day, my brain would switch off and I would find myself moving my mouse to the Google Chrome icon and pop onto multiple sites..Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and I would spend 30-45 minutes away from work being hypnotised by fail videos and pictures of friends on locations. Numerous times during a work day, I would be working, being productive, listening to a podcast and then someone on the podcast would say a name or movie or song and i would immediately minimise my work and then go search up what they are talking about. It's been happening all the time!!! I'm always reaching for my phone when something pops into my head. This takes another 20-30 minutes out of my time away from work.  So to be honest, the amount of hours I actually spen...

First Blog Post 2023

 Hi there, and welcome to my first blog post of 2023! To be honest, I haven't written blog for years, and now that i'm getting closer to the age of 48, I thought it would be best to start writing, and what better way to write than a blog.  This blog is more for me to practice my writing skills, considering the last time I had writing skills was back in high school when I would make stories. They say to be a great writer you need to start from the beginning, and so...here I am..at the beginning. I'm not planning on being well known and not planning on getting rich and popular, this is just for me, and my thoughts. So if you happen to come across this blog, welcome! If you would like to join me in this journey of writing, thank you! If not, that's perfectly ok.  Here goes nothing... Cheers!
