I'VE RETURNED

Well it has been awhile since my last blog and lots has happened. I will try to sum it up quickly. I'm almost done with my third year in the Training Center which has been an encouraging an motivating time for me. Two things that have come out of my time in the TC (training center) this year have been a development of an arts community and a business plan. The arts community is a group of friends who wants to develop themselves as artist and to use there art to provoke our culture. We have no idea how this is going to happen but we are starting slowly. You can read ore about the art community at (madcity.forumup.org). The second thing has been a development of a business plan for my graphic design business. I have been running my business for the past three years doing freelance work for business and friends. I'm moving into clarifying my goals with what my business with provide as a service and this is also helping me clarify why I'm pursuing a career going into business for myself. Both of these things have been taking a lot of my time but the time has been very enjoyable and I hope it continues to be enjoyable or I might have to rethink what I’m doing. Well I just wanted to update everyone on what’s happening in my life. Feel free to send me some comments.

P.S. Happy Birthday Juan!!

PEACE

DOOR COUNTY, NOT ORANGE COUNTY

I just got back from vacation, if anyone is ever in Wisconsin make sure to visit Door County it rocks. My wife and I stayed in a Bed in Breakfast called The Black Walnut; the owners are really cool and very nice to hang with. Our room had a two sided fire place a double whirlpool (room for two nice), and a nice patio to hangout. I guess this is a plug for the bed and breakfast because I loved it; it's located in Sturgeon Bay. Well if anyone is Wisconsin make sure to visit Door County. http://www.blackwalnut-gh.com/

Also I want to tell Sue and Scott thanks for the great steak and potato lunch on Saturday, that was one of the best steak I've ever had -delicious. And Brie you made my day one to remember thanks for all your hard work in getting the party going.

If you didn't make it to my party you missed out on a day of volleyball, bean bag toss game, and bbq. I am adding a few photos of the days festivities for you to see. Thanks again for the great birthday party!
