22
Well some of you may remember this post I made last year. I made a lot of statements of what I was going to achieve during my 22nd year on this planet. well the year has passed by now and I’ve been 22 for 2 months now. So I guess I should give an update on my achievements.
So what does the next year have in store for me. Well for starters I’m going to sign up for art classes in september! Yes yes, I am going to turn myself into the next (digital) Da Vinci (only slightly more sexy)!
Ok so this didn’t quite work out, I gave up after about 4 months because I was too tired to be concentrated after work. Whoopsy.
At work I am currently developing a software package (even though I’m a pc-tech guy) that could be my biggest programming project to date.
Well I had an intern and his job was mostly the same, so I waited till his work was done. I am now putting the finishing touches to it.
Another thing I am expecting of my 21st year on this planet is buying a car. Allready I have saved an amount of money and I have a type of car in my mind: The citroen Saxo , a small economic car (cause I don’t really see the need for a big car) .
Nope no new car, in fact I had a minor accident with my current car. Nothing disastrous, but it shook me up quite a bit. The reason why I haven’t bought another car yet is because my brother still hasn’t been able to get his driver license. At the current rate I doubt he ever will :p Come on brother, get moving!
Furthermore I am going to continu to gather knowledge on 3D modelling, even as I am typing this I am expecting a book to arrive explaining how to create the elements in 3D (Water, fire, …). I am also waiting on another book that explains in great detail how animation projects are created, it should even give me some tips on character modelling (something which I’ve been longing to do for a while now). I have no clue yet as to what kind of short I am going to make, but I will take every bit of time to make it according to my vision.
Well nothing spectacular on this, I am still learning new tricks now and then but at my own slow pace. It’s only a hobby and not a job.
What else can we expect? Well there’s the release of windows vista, not that it has anything to do with me. To be honest I couldn’t care less. Never have I been so disappointed in microsoft. I remember when I used to look forward to this operating system.
Like more than a friggin’ year ago…
Yup, still dissapointed
I’ve seen the light, if I want comfort I’ll use mac os…
If I need to do work (3ds max, .net programming) and gaming (guild wars) I’ll just stick with XP for now.
Scratch XP, make that Vista (Yeah the irony).
If I get really lucky and manage to save enough money I should be ordering a Mac Pro on my next birthday
(this is just a bit of dreaming on my part
)
Well dreams do come true, there is a Mac Pro on my desk now
What else could I do in this new year of my life, well there’s a thing I say every year but never manage to do:
Find a girlfriend.
I’ve managed to do the impossible
I’m a lucky SOB.
