Hey all, so it's been a few weeks since my last journal post. Just wanted to toss up a little update incase anyone was wondering what the buck was up to. My recent internship ended this past week (the 4th) which is both good and bad. I have more free time and it's no longer the grind in an industry I clearly wasn't interested in, but at the same time it means not having a steady paycheck until I link up somewhere else. Ive got some small plans in the works but the hope is something legit will pan out before to long.

In general, life has been about status quo, both for good and bad. Ive been lifting something like 3x a week and trying to maintain a steady "healthy" diet. The latter has had it's slips, mainly under the excuse of lack of time/availability on my part while working. A cop out I realize but I am doing my best to augment my lifestyle to match a healthier eating plan. The trouble is Ive not lost much if any weight :-/ I am 26, 5'8... and 220lbs. Im not outwardly obese save for not being skinny. I know that muscle is like 2x the weight of fat, at the same time fat takes up like 3x the volume/space of muscle but it's just frustrating to work as much as I have and not see much in the way of appreciable results. Wistful thinking in just 3 months of the current routine, I know, but still. I'll be hacking at it regardless.

On the commission front for those whom I still owe pieces, I have not forgotten you, and with the extra time Ive been working on them as best I can (this week's been a bit of a scramble to catch up with appointments and such now that I dont have a 9-5 commitment). The piece I posted earlier this week should be finished in a few days if all goes well and I'll be working on the other two commission slots as well.

That being said, I am very much open to taking on more slots if anyone is interested. Just shoot me a note if you have questions or just want to bounce some ideas back and forth.

Along with all that, I am going to stream my current work for a bit tonight and will be planning on doing so in the future (though not so often that a journal here or there advertising the event should bother anyone watching me). Feel free to stop by and watch! I'll post the livestream link when I get things up and running.

Hope you all the best!
