One my favorite game Call of Duty is going to release the new game CODBO Call of Duty Black Ops in the states Nov 9, 2010. I’m already very excited to play the game! As I continued to watch people tweet about CODBO: Call of Duty Bad Odor, it just made me laugh when I though of this, so I just went a head and made it.

I’ve been into…haha. thinking.

Thinking a lot.

I’ve been thinking about…my past, present, and my future. How did I end up here, what can I do now, where do I want to see myself? Just been thinking a lot about life, and it’s been really good. Time to think is very precious, because so often we’re so occupied with the samo- samo- life and routines. I truly appreciate these days I get to spend thinking about life. But thinking isn’t gonna do anything. Thinking is just the beginning of something. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking, and now its time to act. Though, this transition between the thought to the movement is quite a difficult thing. I say this because, so often, we move with out thinking. The functional part has become and automatic process, so such as waking up in the morning, washing my face, eating a break fast, or whatever it is. Not much of thoughts in those. We also tend to spend a lot of time thinking when not working, and at those times, we imagine as if we have the force to move things in our minds yet nothing happens in reality. Yeah, like starwars… ‘move….move…move…..’ and nothing…lol yeah no duh. So thinking, then to moving, it takes a lot of effort, because it is an challenge to myself. Can my thoughts be translated into the physical forms? Okay, if I’m talking about something sort term, maybe its not that difficult. What about those long term thoughts. Things that has to be planned out for years ahead, feels like a run billion miles ahead. those long term thoughts becomes like a master mind plan encrypted and designed all in my head, yet trying translate these thoughts and images from the untangle world of my head to this reality, I think it takes a lot of effort and courage to step up the great challenge. So the question is, am I willing to take up for the challenge? with no doubt, I will walk strong and take up the challenge to articulate and project my master plan into the reality.

so yeah…I’ve been thinking.

Thinking a lot.

Thinking a lot about my past, present, and my future.

btw. I’ve been making a lot of music lately. That’s been a lot of fun.

I haven’t really done too much with art or graphic design lately. I mean I’ve still done several projects along the way, but the title gives it away. I’ve been going crazy with music lately. I’ve always loved music, but never had the chance to express my passion toward music. But recently I’ve been taking some one take session video of me just jamming to the beats I’ve made. I’ll be updating those video very soon, and hopefully I’ll continue to update more things on my blog as time goes.

I’m still frustrated because I’m still not getting the education I really want. These people give me the most immature response…telling me that I could go take a class more advance somewhere else if I really want it so bad. Some old folks need to really chillax and re-think overthis again. I PAY SHIT TON OF FUCKING MONEY. why can’t I study want I want? i feel like I’m paying my self to be in this prision.

My life is short, seriously..I’m not going to just waste it sticking up with these guys. I need to get out of here. I will.

Seriously though…Why’s there gotta be so many haters? Don’t people understand the difference between criticism and a constructive criticism? It makes a heck of difference. I feel soo disrespected when someone comes to my artwork and say shit about it with out giving me a proper reason. Even just the negative tone of voice…really pisses me off. But I do respect and appreciate thier comments, because thats gonna make me grow, but I still pisses me off. Don’t try to find things to say shit about my work, don’t come with that negative thinking of “oh what can I say shit about this piece today? cuz I’m so better than you and I can say shit” attitude. Can’t you try to find something good to say before you go right ahead bashinig on other people’s work that they’ve spent hours and hard sweat into the piece? But in the end, it doesn’t matter. whatever. There will always be haters, and there will be the buyers and supporters, which will easily out weigh the haters. Let us all show respect to others.

I’ve started to find real interest in the power of icons. I just realized that even the process of creating logos and icons are so very important. Each little details, every little thing about it is important. For example, when I was working on creating some icons for my website, I realized how difficult and how much  time I had to spend checking and rechecking. Having the image size 16×16 isn’t much space to really create anything complex, but that’s why each pixel counts.

Here’s I want to share some of the awesome logos I’ve collected.

Enjoy!
