I Moved!

2007-01-12T17:00:00.000-05:00

Well since I am starting to get into this bloggin stuff I have decided to step it up a bit. I have now moved to wordpress. It just has a lot more to offer. So you can find my new blog here. Hope you like it.

Happiness

2007-01-12T11:08:00.000-05:00

You know I was having a hard time thinking of something to post about this morning when I was presented with a issue while at work. The issue isn't as relevant as the conversation that stemmed from it. It was about Happiness. A lady at work reminded me that happiness is a bi-product. That you don't just become a happy person. Happiness comes from the things in your life. People who aren't happy are simply going about life the wrong way. Contrary to popular belief your life isn't about YOU! When is the last time you made yourself happy without any outside influence? Now think of the happiest time in your life. I bet it involved someone else. This leads me to my second observation. The greatest happiness, true happiness comes from serving others. Going that extra mile. The happiest times in my life, the ones that really stick out is when I did something for somebody. Not only was I happy when the person had seen what I had done for them, but all the while I was doing it. This quote pretty much sums it up.

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.

-Hellen Keller

You know you want one.

Don't really need to say much more do I? I will say this, it sure makes the burial precess more convenient.

Lifehouse

2007-01-11T10:18:00.000-05:00

Don't you love it when you buy a cd and wear it out and then shelve it for a while and them come back to it and it rocks harder. Well Lifehouse is one of those instances. I bought their first Cd about five or six years ago and loved it. Just recently I discovered a new song by them called you and me. Since then it's almost into the 50s in play count on my iTunes. I just love that song. What some may not know is that Lifehouse is a Christian band. Although in the mainstream Lifehouse is the first Switchfoot. Don't believe me check out the lyrics to my new favorite song called Storm.

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

I can't tell you how many times I have felt like this and God has rescued me. Hope you can find encouragement in this song.

Becca in training

2007-01-10T10:54:00.000-05:00

So I have to brag on my wife a little. As some of you may or may not know Becca's Uncle Ralph passed away a few months ago. It was a hard time for Becca and I and a really hard time for her family. Her Uncle Ralph was only in his 50's. He died of Multiple melanoma, a form of cancer in the blood. Since then Becca has research and now joined Team in Training. Team in Training is an endorsed training program that involves several marathons. The marathon has multiple purposes: 1) to raise awareness of blood cancers such as Leukemia and Lymphoma, 2) to raise funds for drug research to find a cure, and 3) to ease the financial burden placed on individual's and their families when a family member has been diagnosed with cancer. Becca is planning to run a half marathon (13.1 miles) in Travers City on May 26th. The minimum amount of money needed to be raised for the marathon is $1,500. Becca and I will be planning several events to help raise money for this event in the coming weeks, however any donations are welcome and appreciated. I know $1,500 seems like a lot of money but it is for a good cause and Becca and I both have faith that it is an achievable goal. So if any of you would like to donate or just give some moral support to Becca please do not hesitate to contact us. In the coming weeks I will have more info for you. Becca will soon have a website in which people can use to get updates on her progress (she is already able to run 5 miles) and donate to her cause. Thanks so much in advance for your support.

UFO to replace car

2007-01-09T10:03:00.000-05:00

So I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking to Alfie Carrington, a Clinton township man who has for the last 27 years has been researching and developing a real-life UFO. Alfie has spent more than $60,000 on researching, developing, and building the UFO. He claims that one day his UFO will replace cars. Although still under construction Alfie wants to fire up the UFO in eight months if he can raise an additional $40,000 to finish the project. Alfie claims that the UFO could reach speeds up to 500 mph. I don't know about you but I am not sure I would want to go that fast in an over sized pie plate attached to a Frisbee! If you would like to read more about Alfie click here.Good luck Alfie!

Happy Birthday ELVIS

2007-01-08T13:39:00.001-05:00

I have just been reminded that today is Elvis' birthday. He would have been 72. In celebration of the King's birthday please post your favorite Elvis and song from your favorite Elvis Era. Some people like the jump suite 70 Elvis but I was more a fan of the 50's Elvis. As for my favorite song I like "That's alright Mamma" and "Jail house Rock." I plan on furthering my celebration by listening to some Elvis and having a Peanut butter and Banana sandwich. Please leave your comments on the King. Thank you..thank you very much.

Smallville

2007-01-05T10:42:00.000-05:00

So I have to report on my new obsession. Try not to be shocked and saddened to my late arrival to this piece of Sci-fi teen mellow drama. I know what you're thinking, I am a so called Superman lover and am just now watching Smallville. Well kids, I have my reasons. To be quite honest I was afraid that it would suck and therefore be disappointed. Hence the preemptive strike. Well I was flipping through the channels a few months ago and watch a few episodes and I was hooked. So no I have seasons 1-4 and have been staying up till 2 am every night watching them. I know it's sad but I love it. This show reminds me why I love Superman so much. The crazy thing about it is My second favorite character is Lex Luthor (the first being Clark of course). He really steels the show. Anyway if you are a fan of Superman you should check it out.

19

2007-01-03T09:32:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was a great but sad day. In a awesome ceremony, Steve Yzerman's 19 was retired, sealing his legacy and making him a legend in the world of sports. Probably one of the greatest professional athletes ever to enter any arena. Steve Yzerman was drafted as the 3 round pick by the Detroit Red Wings in 1983 at just 18 years old. He was 5'11" and 165 lbs soaking wet. The Red Wings Jim Devellano the GM at the time wanted to send him down to their farm club until he "grew up". It took just one day at training camp to see that Stevy had something special. In his first year Yzerman scored 39 goals and 87 points. Not bad for a 18 year old kid from Cranbrook BC. In 1986 just three seasons in the NHL, Yzerman was named captain and the youngest captain ever to be named by the Red Wings organization. Yzerman wore the captain "C" for 20 years. During that time he lead the Red Wings to 3 Stanley Cups, played in 1,514 games, scored 692 goals (8th in all time goals scored) 1,063 Assts., and 1,755 points. He played in 192 playoff games, in which he scored 70 goals, 155 Asst., and 185 points, included in that was a double OT goal against the St. Louis Blues to take them to the Stanley Cup Finals. That goal was my all-time favorite sports moment. You can watch it here. He was named captain of the 2002 Canadian Olympic Hockey team where he lead them to a gold medal. He is second only to Gordie Howe in all statistical numbers for the Red Wings franchise. He is said to be the best two-way player the game of hockey has ever seen. The world of Sports has never seen a greater role model and ambassadors of any sport than Steve Yzerman. The Red Wings will never be the same without him.

Sick Of Booty!

2007-01-02T08:41:00.000-05:00

So I was watching the Rose Bowl yesterday, and I will say this, If I hear one more person say "John David Booty" one more time I do not guarantee that person's safety. First of all as if saying the kids middle name is going to make it any better! Secondly I don't know how they can say it with a straight face. Thirdly some announcers got really lazy and started calling him John David. I think it was because it took so long to say his name they couldn't finish talking about how great he was in time for the next play to start. My theory is that the FCC is somehow involved in this name scheme because at one point an announcer was going to call him John Booty but when he got to the BOO he stopped himself as if to turn a swear word into something else and proceeded to start the name over. Something needs to be done about this. Anyway, as far as the game goes I wish I had just watched the first half. Oh well there is always next year right? As for now go OSU.

New Digs

2006-12-29T08:56:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was a fresh start. Russ and I rearranged the office to give it a new feel for the new year. I moved my desk in a different and I feel over-all more productive location (closer to Russ). For some reason it's easier to work when your back isn't to him. Anyway, it's amazing how just by moving your desk into a different location can make you feel happy to come to work....at least for a few days anyway. I love starting fresh and new.

Lack of Holiday Cheer

2006-12-22T09:12:00.001-05:00

I don't know what it is but I really haven't been in the Christmas mood this year. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a scrooge I just haven't felt excited about Christmas. I love Christmas, I always have. Maybe it's the lack of snow? Maybe I am growing up and Christmas has a different roll for me now that I am married and have my own home? Maybe it's because I am stuck at work? It's weird I'll get these little flashes of Christmas spirit and then it's gone. Please help me! Christmas is only 3 days away and I am feeling like the Grinch.

It's not about the fight, It's about getting to the fight.

2006-12-21T08:48:00.000-05:00

Not since Superman have I ever been this pumped up about a movie. As the light went down my heart began to pump from the pit of my stomach. As the Rocky theme played people started to cheer! A tear came to my eye, this would be the first of many. I know there has been a lot of talk and a lot of hype following this movie but that doesn't mean anything once the movie comes out and it stinks. I am here to tell you that this movie is outstanding. I don't want to give anything away but I will say this, Rocky Balboa is real. The characters, their performance, the plot all seem real. They responded to life and each other the way real people would respond. I think this was one of the first movies that didn't have a bit of Hollywood influence in it. In the end when the pictured faded and the people stopped clapping (still don't understand why people do that? It's a movie, they can't hear you.) I was left with a little sadness that it was over. I wanted more. I am starting my boxing training tomorrow.

Yabba-Dabba-Dead!

2006-12-19T10:38:00.001-05:00

So I heard on the radio yesterday to my amazement that one of the co-creators of Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo and Yogi Bear, died. Hanna along with Joseph Barbera, created more than 3,000 half-hour cartoons. I remember never wanting to miss an episode of the Jetsons as a little kid. He died in North HollyWood at home with his wife of 60 years by his side. I don't know about you but that wouldn't be a bad way to go. If you would like to read more click here

Starting a new

2006-12-19T10:22:00.000-05:00

My buddy Russ and all his enthusiasm as inspired me to start the new year with a more active blog. I am really going to try and make a conscious effort to post on this thing at least once a week. I mean come on, as Russ has proven any moron can search CNN for something to complain about. Just kidding Russ. So here is to a productive new year.

Why we like movies.

2006-09-19T11:19:00.000-04:00

This is the article I wish I wrote but I didn't. Here it is anyway.
"For decades films have served the purpose of escaping reality-affordable getaways that allowed the viewer to forget about their problems for two hours by watching fictitious characters encounter their own. The typical Hollywood film would end with the good guy reigning supreme in a conclusion designed to please the masses thatÂs filled with contagious optimism and stark improbabilities. These are films without a voice of their own; theyre written with the audience in mind because lets face it, everyone loves a feel-good film and where theres a majority like ability, thereÂs money. Theres a problem with that though and that is this: its not real and we know it. This is particularly true with romantic comediesÂ wed love to see the guy get the girl, or the girl get the guy, because it allows us to be hopeful that we will too in our own lives, or if youre luckier than the next, that you already have. In the real world however, relationships end about as often as the sun rises because the dating gameÂs changed to accommodate societys slipping value system everything moves at such a quick pace that thinking about our decisions usually comes after weÂve already made them. Like a character in The Last Kiss says, "The world is moving so fast now that we start freaking long before our parents did because we dont stop to breathe anymore."

-Devin Dagraca

One thing that I always loved about movies was that I could watch someone work out an unbelievable problems in the course of two hours or less. If only life was that easy right. It occurred to me that life can be that easy given the proper perspective. "Don't take life so seriously, you'll never get out alive" Give it to God, serve Him and concentrate on making someone else really happy. You would be surprised at how happy it will make you in return.

49 Up

2006-09-01T11:03:00.000-04:00

There is an interesting documentary that has been filmed over the past 42 years. It took a diverse group of kids all over England and interviewed them about their life every 7 years. For the trailer go here http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/49up/. This trailer got me thinking about the way my life has gone since I was seven. It's interesting how life can start out one way and then end up another. The really cool thing is I'm not even half way there (hopefully). So where will you be in seven years? What about seven years after that. What kind of legacy will you leave? I take comfort in the fact that as long as God is a priority in my life seven years from now I'll be just fine!

A little help

2006-08-08T08:53:00.000-04:00

Okay, here is the thing. My buddy needs our help. Someone has been messing with him for over a year. When I mean messing I mean one time all of us were over his house. There were like 10 of us at least in the house. It started by someone ringing his doorbell and then running away. Fine, kids stuff everyone does. They were very brave considering the amount of car/people at the house at the time. Well this kept happening. They must have rang the doorbell three more times. We we got to the door no one is there. So finally We hear a loud bag on the side of the house. We go out to investigate and there lying on the side walk is a dead opossum with a shard of glass stabbed through a piece of paper into it's body. On this piece of paper was scrawled the words "You're Next" Obviously this was upsetting to my buddy and his significant other. So the police were called and basically they said someone was just messing around. Well since then about once a month someone has been ringing his doorbell and running away. Also he found a Opossum's head in a plastic bag in his yard. I assure you that my buddy has done nothing to warrant this type of treatment and has sent a message to the opossum community that he does not condone this type of treatment toward marsupials. Please does anyone have any good ideas on how to handle this situation?

It's a bird...It's a plane....It's flippin sweet!

2006-06-28T08:27:00.000-04:00

Last night I went to the premier of SUPERMAN RETURNS! Like Christmas morning it came. After hearing all the rumors, ideas, plots, and casting announcements, Superman Returns came flying in faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tough film critics with a single bound. As you might think the movie was the first movie that I got so excited about that I could hardly breath, in a very long time. My eyes still hurt from not blinking, my jaw still stiff from not shutting. Ok enough about how great it was lets get into details shall we. Let me set the table. First off Superman is back as you may not know. He left earth in search of his home planet. His sabbatical lasted five or more years. They never really nail the time frame down. When he finally comes back (super awesome scene), he finds the world not how he left it. I won’t share any details because I don’t want to spoil anything. However a nice attention to detail is when Superman does come back, he is wearing an all gray suit. This suit is the same one that was used in the comic book version of the very same event. Way to go Bryan Singer! This movie gets it right on so many levels. The cast of characters is perfect. Kevin Spacey commands his role as Lex Luthor without over powering newcomer Brandon Routh (sounds like South) as The Man Of Steel. Kate Bosworth plays Lois Lane. A weak point in the movie but still shines better than most. I must admit I didn’t really like her in the role when I first heard about it, but after a while she grew on me. This movie is not all action like other brainless blockbusters with inflated budgets. It has build up and emotion. The first time you see Superman in the suit flying to save the day it is just like camping…intense! I had chills. Now some of this you may have to take in account that I am a ridiculous Superman fan boy, but I can tell you this if you don’t get chills at least once in this movie there is no helping you! I recommend paying the extra bucks to see it in iMAX 3D. It is awesome. This is a start to a new mega franchise. I just hope Hollyweird doesn’t mess it up. Please go see this movie. Take you parents, kids, dogs, birds, boyfriends, girlfriends, In-Laws, complete strangers! Come on do you really want Titanic to be the best selling movie of all time? Do yourself a favor see the movie.

80's Style?

2006-05-16T08:31:00.000-04:00

Saturday was my graduation party and we thought to why don't we go back to where it all began for me as a kid. The 80's. I would like to thank everyone who showed up to show their support in the pouring rain! I am lucky to have such great family and friends! I look forward to spending more time with you now that I'm not buried in homework. Now I know most of you remember the 80's, so post your favorite thing about the 80's. I'll start off by saying that the TV shows were the best. I loved ALF! I also loved He-Man, Ninja Turtles, The Smurfs, The A Team, and Hardcastle and MCcormick. Knight Rider wasn't to bad either!

Knight Rider

I finally have the car of my dreams! Now me and David can ride like the wind baby!

The Last Day

2006-04-26T08:41:00.000-04:00

Well the time is upon me. Tomorrow (4-27) will be the last day of my college career! Tonight will feel like the day before the execution. Tomorrow brings two 3 hour final project critiques and a 15 minute exit review which consists of the 4 full time faculty grilling me about my work. The stress these last few days has been pretty intense. Fear is something I have had to deal with quite a bit over the last few weeks. I ask that all of you keep me in your prayers today and tomorrow. I need the strength and the courage to finish. My exit review begins at 5:30pm. On a happier note I did receive a full time position at Eden Foods as a graphic designer. My first official day full time is May 2nd. So now I get to see my buddy Russ 6 days a week! Woohoo! Anyway, Thank you all in advance for the prayers.

I Have The Power!

2006-04-07T10:26:00.000-04:00

Ok, I don't do this very often but I have to take a quick survey. What was your favorite Cartoon in the earliest part of your childhood. As much as I loved Superman when I was little (and still do for that matter) HE-Man was at the top of my list. I watched every show, movie, and Christmas special. Had every action figure and the bed sheets. I even went to Toys R' Us and met HE-Man and Skelitor in person. Those were the days. So What's your favorite?

What Irony Looks like

2006-03-13T15:33:00.000-05:00

I recently went to L.A. to visit one of my good friends. While on this trip I went to the walk of fame where all the celebrities have their stars on the sidewalk. This picture is worth a thousand words! So this is what irony looks like.

Bring God To Work Day

2006-02-27T10:54:00.000-05:00

Today I have been listening to nothing but Third Day at work. Thanks to my good buddy Rosco I have the set list to the Third day concert that many of you went to last Sunday. I made a playlist of that set list in iTunes and have been having a mini worship service quietly at my desk. I literally felt Gods presence with me in my chair. I encourage anyone who is allowed to listen to music to try this out. It definitely makes the work day more enjoyable.

Bad Rep

2006-02-15T08:52:00.000-05:00

The other day I was listening to a radio show out of LA when something very insightful was said by one of the hosts who claims not to be "religious". On the show they were talking about this group of religious extremists who were protesting at a soldier's funeral carrying signs that said "God Hates Fags". The soldier, although the point is moot, was not gay. A women called into the show claiming to be a member of this particular group and tried to explain her (their) cause. She claimed that anyone living in sin would go to hell and anyone who enabled sin would go to hell. She said that it didn't matter that the soldier wasn't gay, he served in the military who has a "don't ask don't tell" policy about homosexuals in the military not to mention all the moral atrocities committed to innocent people by soldiers in times of war. After a little bickering back and forth, the radio host said that he was no bible scholar and that he was not particularly religious but since satan is the master deceiver he can not help but believe that people and organizations like this woman's was maybe satan's plan to pose as a Christian to help give them a "bad name" That because of these groups people are discouraged from becoming a Christian. It makes a lot of sense to me. Look at how the Christian faith is depicted in the media. We have priests molesting young children. We have televangelists taking people's money, we have right wing conservatives (otherwise known as hateful bigots) bringing down the rath of God to everyone. They all are giving a bad rep to real Christians. I believe that the time is coming for God to take back this world and I believe that He is going to do it through Christians who show people how much God loves them, not how much God hates them. It's time that Christians show who the wolves are posing as sheep by the true acts of Christian love.

Back to School Back to School

2006-01-16T13:23:00.000-05:00

Well it's back to the old grind of work and school work and school. I had my last first week of school last week. I graduate May 11th! That date cannot come fast enough. In away I'm really glad that I will be getting out of school. After 6 years of it, it's time for a change. However, it will be weird just going to work everyday. At the same time it will be nice that once I punch out and go home, I don't have to worry about designing another thing until I go back to work the next day. Sometime I just get really tired of having to be creative. You would think that there is no ay someone would ever be able to kill the fun in being creative. I'm here to tell you it can be done!
I would like to take this time to say thank you to all of you who came to my Ma's 50th birthday party! She had a great time and it's all because of the great friends that she has. You all have shown a lot of love to my family over the years and I would just like to say thank you! You guys are the best!

Trying again

2006-01-06T09:54:00.000-05:00

Well I figured I should try this blog thing again. The New Year presents many great opportunities to start over. I don't believe in New Years resolutions per say, only because as soon as your goals for the new year receive that title, they instantly become more difficult. So my goals for the new year are very simple. I think my greatest issue as a person and as a Christian is not practicing self denial. I never tell myself no. It's 12 am and I have to go to school the next day and I know I'm going to be really tired if I don't go to bed, but I don't want to go to bed! I want to watch TV. So I watch TV. There are things I need to get done around the house in my free time. Well when free time comes around I don't want to do the things around the house, because this is free time. Even little things like, I know that this second cup of coffee is going to make me all sick and nervous feeling...but it's just so good. Or how about this one, I really want to start spending more time in prayer, or I really should go to this church group, but I want to do this or that. I know what you all are thinking. He needs to be more disciplined. This may be true about not wanting to clean the house or go to bed, but one shouldn't have to be disciplined to spend more time with their Lord. If you have to discipline yourself to pray more than you are doing it for the wrong reason. So as I start this new year please pray for me that I stop being so self serving and that I learn to give more of myself to God.

My 15 Minutes

2005-10-12T11:52:00.000-04:00

Yesterday was a very hard day for me in the creative world. I was shot down and then drug through the streets of criticism. A project that I had been working on all weekend (that I particularly liked) was not given the reaction I anticipated. The worst part about it was the fact that no one could tell me what was wrong with it. As a designer you can get pretty discouraged about your "so called talent" and it doesn't take much to doubt yourself and your career choice. However things quickly improved when I was informed that an animation that I did for a project last year had been put up on the schools website! For those of you who would like to see my 15 minutes of fame here you go. My 15 minutes
Mine is the one at the bottom.

Homework

2005-09-20T18:41:00.000-04:00

Hey everybody I need your help. I have a project for school where I need an idea for an alternative use for a Check or Checkbook. For instance, you can use a check book as a coaster, or a door stop. Post atleast 5 good ideas. Thanks in advance!

Good Stuff On TV

2005-08-22T11:39:00.000-04:00

Hey to anyone wanting to sit in front of the TV from 6pm till 11pm, there are a few GOOD programs on the National Geographic Channel. I believe it's channel 109 for Comcast viewers. At 6:00 there is a one hour special on Crucifixion and the medical effects on the human body. After that is a two part special about all the events leading up to 9-11. It basically walks you threw what the hijackers did for a week or so before 9-11. So anyone interested should check it out.

Even though he won't read this I would like to take this time to say a special Happy Birthday to my Dad! When it comes to Dads you can't beat mine. Those of you who know him I'm sure you would agree. So If you could post your comments and wishes I will pass them on to him.

Thanks to all

Well I finished the book. I must say It was great but very sad. I don't want to spoil it for those who still haven't read so that is all I will say. To all my fellow bloggers, I am back for now. On a side note, I would apprecaite it if everyone would be praying for me. I just recently went on a job interview at Eden foods and am nervouse as to what the results are. I would apprecaite it if everyone would pray that whatever happens it will be Gods will and for my best interests. Thanks

Just a quick poll to all you bloggers. How many of you think that Hockey will make a come back this year. Some say that withall the rule changes and some of our favorite players being bought out that the game has lost it's purity? What say you Bloggers?

The begining is always a good place to start

Yeah Russ They are awesome. You NEED to start at the begining. The cool part is they are only like $10.00. If you get the hard covers they're like $30.00 though.

I regret to inform you that for the next few days my new found love will be neglected by an old flame that has returned. Since the release of the New Harry Potter Book (That I received at 1230am opening night a long side a few friends and a winged lama) I will have my nose stuck to it until it is done. So unfortunately I will not be posting very much for the next few days. I hope all of you keep well these next few days and I will see you when I return.

I see...

2005-07-15T08:52:00.000-04:00

Well I see now that I'm not just talking to myself I have somewhat of an audience. I guess I better find something intelligent to say from now on. Forgive me if I don't post for a few more years.

Starting up again

2005-07-11T13:19:00.000-04:00

It has been quite sometime since I last posted to this blog. Things have changed quite a bit. Let me bring you up to speed. I'm a little older, I'm a little wiser. I'm starting to get hair in really weird places. Sorry I couldn't help myself. Really life is a lot different for me now. I am now married to the love of my life and childhood sweetheart Becca, I have my own house, and I have a dog now who is really more like a kid than a dog. Things are really starting to level out into a real grown up situation. Now if I could only get out of school and join the rest of the commuting working stiffs of America. Although I shouldn't wish too hard. I know I will miss the easy goings of a three day a week do nothing job that I have so comfortably enjoyed over the last four years. Never the less I will enjoy what I do. Saving the world of poor design one project at a time.
