Good Times...

Man has alot happened. First off the internship is going great. Kristen has been showing me all the tricks. Last week my wife and I flew back home to Michigan for my sisters High school graduation and man did I have some fun with my family. It was hard not to be able to spend that much time with them but it was definately better than not going at all. I also got to see my uncle Tim's work (Dan Henry Distributing) which was very cool. My Dad and my uncle Randy were a hoot as usual. My dads business just got voted number one business in Lansing...congrats dad! My uncle Den came over after my sisters open house and hung out with us which was really nice and my uncle Tim even suprised us at the airport to see us off! Its sad that there isnt any studios around my family but it is something that I am learning to deal with. The nice thing is that returning home to San Fransisco truly felt good. My wife and I grow closer and closer all the time. I think we are both kinda going through the same thing. On a lighter note this week has been going very well at work...I am getting to know people more which is nice...getting past that weird uncomfortable stage where a collegue and I will stand there looking at eachother without anything to say since we dont know anything about one another. LOL. Too funny. The stories about how people got into the industry have been just fascinating to me. There are some remarkable people that have all pretty much just landed in the same spot. I guess thats life in general. Adam told me his mother would say something about the river taking you but still being able to paddle around obstacles...man did I just masacre that quote but basically it was a good one. Well, thats all I got for now. Time once again to get some sleep. I told Clint at work today that he better get ready because I am going to be buggin' him next week when school starts with mel scripting questions. I forsee me buying alot of lunches. No seriously he's cool and use to teach 3D so I think he's secretly looking forward to it.

I feel your pain about missing the family. I rarely see mine and it just kills me. The thing is, you have to follow your dreams. You don't want to look back in the end and have a bunch of regrets. My folks understand and support me as much as they can. I am sure yours understand as well. It is all good right. I think we should open our own place. What do you think about Ohio? That would be inbetween PA and MI at least.

hehe...i feel ya man. maybe this will help ya feel better - try living 10,000 miles away from your family, literally on the other end of the planet in a completely foreign land which has nothing remotely similar to what you saw or experienced growing up all your life, dealing with an exchange rate 45 times your country's currency, having no relatives there, and not being able to see your family/friends/country for over 2 years in a row. thats what i am doing right now...LOL! its a joke sometimes i ask me!! :D

why? - to pursue my lifelong ambition! :)
