There are lots of things I like to do for fun.
Software Development, Graphic Design, Web Design
Except when someone is paying me and making demands then it becomes a tedious, laborous process that I grow to hate with a passion.
The funny thing is I must have more contacts than I have skills. Why do I say that because people continuously are shooting work my way. When I refuse they ask again, but those days are over.
I know this post sounds like a bitchfest, but sometimes you just have to write this stuff out.
The funny thing about designing websites is the client kind of rests all of their hopes and dreams on you.
How you wonder, well here's how, have you ever heard.
"I'll be able to make a million dollars if this guy would just get this website up."
but the reality of the matter is I don't give a fuck about your website, even when there is money involved. I just don't care anymore.
My next project will be something I have a real passion for Blacks and Tattoos. That sounds crude to me right now so eventually I'll find another way to describe it. There are so many issues I would like to address. I've been throwing around the idea for a short documentary on dark skinned peoples tattoo issues ( yuck that sounds terrible also ).
The other thing I would like to do is make some T-Shirts, this has been on my docket for a long time, but hasn't materialized. I think that was because I was trying to do it all my self, create the design, designs the website, get the t shirts printed and pay for it.
Yuck to much too much. This time I just want to do Product Development. Someone else comes up with the designs I just find the t-shirts, help them determine the right washes and overlays, finds the manufacturer and puts up a percentage of the funds.
One of my problems is that I'm so slow as a designer. I brood and brood and think and think before I ever pull the trigger. I've found a few guys who just have a plethora of designs but need some of the back end help to get these designs into the stores, that is where I come in.
Damn that feels better. Now I know what "Doing Me" means even though I hate that saying.
