WOOHOO!!!!

I have passed, at least I think I have!
Cert IV in IT multimedia, cert IV project management!
I have qualifications! Well not yet, but they should be in the mail!

So basically I'm off Tafe now, so I can focus a bit more on improving my drawing and enhance the quality of my current comic making. Also I can finally start Newstory, a comic which I said I would be starting way back in June, July.

Man baby kittens can be annoying, but I guess I have to suffer through it till they get older and calm down a little.
Anyways well that's about all I have to talk about now, so

sayonara folks till next I blog

Jazz and Monty

Soon after Sandro died me and my brother went and purchased two kittens, separately from two different places.
The cute little fuzz ball that is Monty, a ginger top with white under belly and legs, who was barely old enough to be sold. He is a great big whiner, but he's very cute. He's my brother's cat that he bought on the day of Sandro's death. A mini Milo, to a degree, and he's terrified of brooms...
And Jazz a sleek 7 week old girl kitten, before I got her she was spayed, and she's still healing from the operation. She's a very talkative cat who loves jumping on people and nuzzling their faces, though she also has a tendency to perch on people's shoulders.
Monty and her make a great pair.

But one of the things I noticed about the kittens is invariably how we compare them to Sandro, Jazz has his energy and athleticism while Monty has his gluttonous tendencies. I kinda doubt I get over Sandro's loss for a little while yet, the kittens help to remind us of him, and the fact that he is gone.
I still really want to find what killed him and bash it with a shovel.

One more assignment to go and I've got a cert IV in IT Multimedia!
I've already got a cert IV in project management, so I'm now legally qualified to run a project as a project manager, I also have a cert II in hospitality, this year I've gotten more qualifications then from the three years I spent at uni and VCE, and I've also become a much more confident artist, though I have a long way to go, I'm also trying to get my writing back into shape, so that I can at least write a decent storyline for a comic. You don't use a talent properly for three years and you notice where you've slipped. I've also found a good percentage of old stories of mine I wrote and I'm planning on adding them to the story archive on the website, when I get some time to do so.

Every exam period I have either suffered terrible hay fever or caught a nasty cold, imagine doing exams which require clear thinking when you have to worry about your nose running like a tap, your throat is sore from coughing, and your head feels or stuffing, its hard to remember things, its part of the reason I hate exams, the second I stress out the sooner I get sick. It happened at Uni it happened in VCE, it even happened in year 10, and its happened to me now, as deadlines rush in on me for handing in my work.

But meh, I get to rest soon and that'll make me feel a lot better, I can get into drawing again without having TAFE work looming over my head and I can finally start promoting my website online, (through free means of course)

Anyways Sayonara folks

Sandro you were with us for such a short time...

Today I was woken to the discovery that Sandro our cat of a year had been discovered dead by my sister when she arrived home this morning. Snakebite is suspected as the cause, but we ain't doing a post mortem to discover the cause, in fact we buried him an hour after discovering his death. Too many times have we waited too long to bury a pet and had maggots eating their corpses.
This is the first pet that I've lost recently and well lets just say it was one of the rudest wake up calls I've had in a while. The strange bit was I had a dream that was very similar to this, a couple months ago, as I was worried about neighbours killing him, due to his inexperience. To the snake that quite possibly murdered Sandro I feel a deep hatred. I'm arachnophobic not whatever the term for snakes is. I just hope our resident kowarongs(bush magpies) got it, I was very relieved to find our 13-14 year old cat Milo hadn't been got as well, and our dog Sally was fine as well. I don't know what I'd do if lost either of them.
At the moment, I am feeling great melancholy as I loved that cat, we may have had him for only a year but I will miss the poor guy, though I only knew him for a year, I'll miss the way he attacked my shoe covered foot when I put it in front of him or the way he yowled so he could be let out do go do his business. But most of all I'll miss the fact that I won't see him grow old, Given good care he could've been around till I was forty, and he would've been a good way to get over the inevitable deaths of Sally and Milo in the future, they are both getting well into their old age. My brother dealt with the loss in his typical practical if heartless manner, replace Sandro with a new kitten so he doesn't have to deal with the grief. And now I want to buy my own cat, a black cat, maybe not with the same unique coat that Sandro had or the same breed and I'll probably get a girl cat as well, but I'll miss my little buddy still...

Rest in peace

Motivation smotivation

Hi peoples, haven't blogged in a little bit, I've been thinking what else I could do with my website, and one of the ideas that I came up with was doing reviews of games, anime and movies I've seen.
But that would be for a later time, I seem to draw best when I'm at Tafe less distractions I guess, and when i'm home I'm always getting distracted by my brother my computer, or our various consoles, or I have to help dad around the yard, digging out fence posts, let alone the fact that I feel guilty for not doing my Tafe work. So instead of drawing, writing or doing homework I end up playing computer games...maybe I need to take a short break from them, spend it writing and drawing, working on character designs, or just get my homework done so I can feel relieved in having everything handed in. At the moment I'm the only person in my course who looks even close to getting a cert IV in IT multimedia...
And I've settled on doing a diploma of IT at Tafe next year, which should get me qualified enough to get a job as IT support in most places...fun.
One of my friends just recently had his first child, so congratulations to him and his wife, and we went to a baby shower for the new family member today, me and my brother providing a large stuffed wombat and diary of a wombat by Jackie French. Though we kinda forgot to wrap it for them... :)
I do believe I'm a caffeine addict...been having way too much caffeinated drink over the past year and a bit, having money a large stomach and family members with licenses really doesn't help me attempt to kick the habit either.
I also need to sleep more, and now that I only have two days of Tafe a week, I get to sleep in more, which is a plus, though parents will be expecting me to help out around the house more, fair enough I guess...
Current anime I'm watching are:
Bleach (samurai and demons)
Eureka 7 (mecha on surf boards nuff said)
Inuyasha (Some episodes it drags but when its good its awesome!)
Black Cat (The end got a bit hard to follow)
Trinity Blood (Main character's secret powers were revealed in the first episode...)

And thats that, so sayonara folks till next I blog I guess...
