I feel you, bro-cat…
…always remember to “smell the roses”, to appreciate what’s happening around you not just focusing on the end or just the goal.
Daniel Wu’s visiting in a couple of days for a film festival in Eugene this weekend.
Along with this, he’ll be visiting a club that he started over 18 years ago in the University of Oregon that pretty much changed my life; UO Wushu. I wonder how long it’s been since he’s last visited?
I’ve only seen a couple of his films so I cannot grasp the enamoring atmosphere brought on by some of the fans around me (mostly Chinese students), but I can say that we’re looking forward to get to know the man that started it all, before continuing to become an A-list actor.
How do you act around a man like that? Well, if he has the time, I guess I’ll give him a Ninkasi six-pack as a welcoming gift.
Watch the interview and enjoy the words of a celebrity who hasn’t let the high life spoil him (too much, if not). Hopefully more of us can learn to be as steadfast in our adult lives.
A few quick icons I did for a university genetics team. Their logo consisted of orange & green arrows, so I incorporated that into their icons to keep their branding consistent.
Good job :-) great use of gradients to give the image some depth/realism.

I’ve recently had a lot of issues with having high expectations, wanting the best of outcomes, rather than just enjoying the process of letting things happen. It’s all apart of an adult-life transformation that has culminated since last year as a result of having a new, stable job, a great relationship, and mental developments that are more or less aimed at “problem” solving.
I thought that, more than anything else (besides my lovely lady), I would wish to be the best at what I am currently proficient at, and shut the ideas of the new out. Make every effort “100%”, or don’t bother, because you just might fail.
This strange sort of ghostly revisit of my past self came over me while watching this Ted video on the concept of the career but, more importantly, ‘risk’ taking; of which I did a fair bit of up until high school graduation, but very little to none of since the end of the teen years.
It’s time to take a small thought-break, be more self-forgiving, and care more about if I love it, than if its “worth” it.
Thanks to a great number of friends who’ve gradually taught me how to appreciate the importance of self-learning, I began to love reading, after a decade of adversity created by a diet of video games and poor education.
Typically I do my reading online but droves of poorly placed advertisements needed to keep the sites running tend to ruin the reading experience, giving you many obstacles to move around. Passages snaking besides boxes. Distractions.

The creative process is one that takes immense amounts of thinking, but after a good long crack at it, I would suggest taking some time to get up, get moving, and get to doing something else that’s completely off topic. You have to let your subconscious mind start making connections. If you don’t…
It’s tough to remind one’s self that they’re never 100% right about something, be it a artistic project or logistical solution, though both require identical processes in getting things “right”.
The hardest lesson is one of being “wrong”…but the the accomplishment of repairing it is priceless.
Carrot/stick dilemmas. The longer term and more difficult your goal, the longer the stick; make sure you’ve got enough carrot to nibble at or you’ll starve before you make it!
Hmm, everyone’s the protagonist of their life, and sometimes people coast along, while others go on adventures and defeat their Death Star. Some people get that chance to defeat their personal antagonist, and became great. While others have reached that endgame and must figure out how to move on.
