i know what i want to do with my life now.
at this point i am a tatto artist, which is awsome - dont get me wrong - but i have always felt (and been told) i should go into psychology. so i have been taking psych classes for about a year now and although they are very interesting to me, i didnt think i wanted to analyze middle aged women or anything like that.
3-14-04 (the next day)
...i want to councel/be psychologist to teens and early 20s. i feel like, aside from understanding people on a level that i am told is rare, i feel like i can truly identify with people of that age group. i want to do it. i want to help people. and i feel good that now i know i have a purpose.
thats what im thinking...that i mught be a bit better at counceling/psychology of teens just due to knowing myself and what i felt at that age. i know that by saying that thats what i want to do im kinda kicking myself in the crotch...because that age group is hard to deal with.
i dont want to be a guidence councelor cause i dont want to have to recommend colleges or anything like that. i just want those kids to have someone to relate to. the only problem with that is that if im a psychologist then the only kids with problems i am going to see are the ones that HAVE to go see me...by their parents. im not sure how or if i can do it but i want to help the kids that are just randomly out there...the ones whose parents dont send them to me...the ones that are having problems that no one knows about...
yea, thats what i want to do.

To answer your question about my current status as a comic book creator i am just now creating and not currently working on an on-going title. I've never had anything formally published but hope to change that this summer.
I really appreciate your kind words about my work. It feels good to know when people like what i do. Maybe with about 20 years of that kind of positive reinforcement i can stop hating myself and everything i do but probably not.

Let me know and I will help.
Good Luck!!
