OH YEAH! It's the weekend!

Well! It's Friday! And do you know what that means? Yeah! Besides the fact that it's Friday, its the first day off! 

I enjoy the weekend.  I have the best days off ever! Friday and Saturday.  Friday is a great day off... really! And Saturday, is for the Sabbath. Although today has been quite... mundane, its been relatively nice. Today started off by talking to my dear on Skype. I woke up a bit late, as we were supposed to meet at 5am my time.  Poor thing.  Had him waiting until 6:30am! I did not have the alarm on! Sorry about that. But what does one do after a nice morning meeting online? Well, that's right... You go back to bed! Because its way too early in the morning still! :P Ha! That's exactly what I did! Only slept until about 11:30am.  Not too shabby.  Still had the rest of the day to kill! 

After a nice shower, I went to the library and to the grocery store.  Eventful I know.  But it seems to be the routine at present.  I had a book to pick up! Woot! Always with my nose in a book, or so I'd like to believe. 

I have checked out Adobe Illustrator's Classroom in a book! Fantastic right? Yep! I went to school for Graphic Design, but its nice to brush up on things. I must say... out of all the Adobe programs... I enjoy Illustrator the most! It has to be the favourite of them all.  So many amazing things can be produced of course, from any of the Adobe line, but Illustrator... ahhhh what a gift! 

As a designer, I believe the best software comes from Adobe.  I may be biased.  Ha ha.  I refuse to try any other.  With Adobe its amazing that once you learn one program, it pretty much stems and branches into others, which are equally effective.  

Now I'm not an Adobe evangelist yet.  But I am working on getting my certifications in this program, along with the entire design suite. But that will be a task to work on as we go.  Do keep in mind, I am still trying to obtain my "Doctorate of Divinity" in my other courses, and the business course is nearly done. After that I think I might stem into courses in Money Management. But I haven't gotten that far yet.  The thing about me, is that... I keep piling a workload on myself when I haven't managed to clean the plate entirely! Ha ha.  

This is what God intended Sabbath for. One day a week, to totally devote to Him.  Ahh, Glorious day. Its a day of rest. Now, I speak to God daily of course, but Sabbath is something really special.  A day to be in His presence, and to really spend a good long while with Him. There is more to the Sabbath than meets the eye. But we shall save the lectures for those who wish to know! ^^

For now, I will take a bit of a leave from this, and continue now with studying.  Although, what I will study now, I do not know.  I always have the best intentions, but never can sit down long enough to focus on them.  No wonder my mind is in so many places.  No wonder I like to have as many projects as I can running so that I will not get bored. And when I do get bored, there is always another task to be done! Joy! 

One more note before I leave... As this is a bit strange, and we all know how I feel about strange things! They excite me! :P  This morning... I was talking to my dear, and I told him, that maybe I should write a blog and call it... A day in the life of Koshkamiaga.  Now, the real word is to be written as so кошкомяга.  It is not a real Russian word, but a word made up by the one who gave me the title. Its indirect translation is "Soft Cat"  Now, how one gets this name, she will never know. It all started, although I'm not entirely clear.  I will say this... I ran into a scientist (physicist to be precise), and he honestly believes, that genetically, I have "cat DNA" as he calls it.  Now, how physics is related to biology, I am not to clear on. (Look, Yes, While I am a Creative Genius, I am not too knowledgeable on various subjects that bore me) And because of this, supposedly everything I do is related some how to a cat. I eat like a cat, purr like a cat, sleep in curled into a ball, I look like a cat...etc.  SUPPOSEDLY! Now... can I really curl into a ball? No, not entirely. Do I purr... possibly.  Cats eat... jellymeat.  I do not. In fact, I don't really eat much meat at all if any. So How I'm related to a cat, only this scientist knows.  He also believes that my body temperature is much like a feline type also. I know he cannot wait until the day we meet when he can finally give me a hug to find out.  Ha ha. In saying this, its only fair that I should be allowed to conduct my own experiments on him.  He has an IQ of 126.  I'm sure that will be entertainment enough for me! So this blog may or may not be written from "a cat's point of view" it is still being talked about, but I assure you, my day would not be much like a cats. I don't get the luxury of my human feeding me roast beef that she buys from the store just to feed me with, or get powdered up so that I do not get fleas, or even a nice warm human I can lay on when they sleep. I guess, if this thing goes well and I actually stick to it, I CAN write something like that.  My mind can construct many things that would be entertaining.  But we shall see.  For now.. You will just have to settle with кошкомяга in human form living a relatively mundane but lovely life. And if you are wondering how to say it... Its (Kosh- ka- me-aah-gah) But the Kosh part is more like... well heck! If you really want to know... get into a Russian pronunciation and ask how to say "Cat" In the feminine version of course. Which is just кошкa. Then you will know. Golly I love Russians! Those accents drive me wild! 

Ok, enough! Lol.  This time, I am really going to work.  I shall be back! I may at times write more than once a day, but this is just as good as it gets for now. 

Signing off with her paws!

Background Information and Potential Warnings About this Blog

Alright! Let's get this thing started, shall we? We shall.  I am going to give you a quick rundown of what just might be in this blog and what you may or may not see here. 

Before we begin, I think its important to know your informant. Tis I! The Creative Genius. I shall be giving you a guided tour of not only my life, but the design industry, photography, other rants and raves that I think would be beneficial to some, and trivial to most. 

Honestly though, maybe no one will ever see or read this blog. But for those that might stumble upon it, I shall try to make it as entertaining as possible. The audience I'm trying to reach...is an elite one. It's one who enjoys wit, humour (and yeah, I did spell it like that), design, photography and anything related to the Arts. People who may find it also enjoyable are those that put the Lord first in their lives. Now, Do not be alarmed, anyone who does not.  These are just my opinions and feelings.  I shall not try to project my views onto you! Simply take it as it comes, and at the worst case scenario, just say it wasn't the most wonderful blog out there. To each his own.

Alright... the informant is a 31 year old female.  She is the owner and coordinator of two small businesses in the making, she is also studying at 2 schools at present and graduating from one of them in a few weeks, she does have plans to obtain certifications in her favourite programs, which also entails more learning, and with much success shall be completing a PhD next year at some point.  Or at least, this is one of the short term goals.  She also, works full time at present, mainly to hold down the fort and meet new networks and contacts. 

The woman behind the pixels is very much a people person on all fronts. She is a shoulder to cry on, a trusted ear, and one who takes relationship building to new heights. Very vivid is her imagination and thought process that many who do not understand usually label it as "Crazy" or "Weird." 

I shall say this from the start... I only appear weird because I am not in a mold nor do I wish to be in one. I believe we are all created uniquely with gifts and talents that can extend beyond our wildest imaginations. The mind cannot fathom what we are capable of. 

I am a graphic designer. (Yes, that means from the get go, I am not your ordinary type.) I enjoy a various sort of work. I do not enjoy "Work" I do enjoy Creating, Problem Solving, Presentation, Great Cuisine (which, when done right, is art in its own right!), and a various sort of other substance. 

To those of you who like the photography, it is for sale and it does go to a worthy cause... which is generally distributed after the government takes its share, towards people, supplies, and more schooling. All of my works are not displayed in just these pictures, there is much more to be found around the net.  But if you have any queries, please let me know as it can be applied to many things such as greeting cards, books, photo gifts, etc. 

Ok. What happened to "QUICK rundown?"  Sorry! For now, I shall leave this, and get back to my studies. The PhD isn't going to earn itself overnight, Right? :)  Enjoy! More to come later, and I do hope to bring some joy to each and every person that passes by! Take care and God bless!
