It is late… 2am. I can’t sleep and am watching music videos online to keep myself entertained. I am also drinking some home made beer. The latest batch I made turned out to be good. It has a sweet start with a bitter hops bite at the end. When poured into a glass it has good head retention and a deep amber color. There is also a delicious aroma rising from it. The alcohol content sits right below 6 percent. Overall I enjoy this batch, its has strong flavor and is full bodied.

In other news I have completed my first two weeks at my new job. I am enjoying it a lot. I have been contemplating my career choices and have been thinking about going back to school in the near future for a medical related career. It is a large shift from what I was doing before but I enjoy the work I have been doing at my new job.

I have been working on my tiger scratch board and I am making some progress towards finishing it. I have a number of hours of work into it and can’t wait for it to be finished. I started the picture a number of years ago and constantly set it aside for other projects to break the boredom that came with the slow progress. I have been trying to get as much detail into it but that also makes for a large amount of time that needs to be put into it. I have that, a large pencil drawing, and a painting that I am working on. I also dabble with my photography. A friend/coworker from Cirrus Design made the comment that I have hobby ADD and I got a kick out of that description. I more than likely could finish a project quickly if I worked on one at a time but I like working on multiple things at once. If I could only work on my art work and somehow have enough money to pay the bills and not need a job.

Eventually I will have prints available for purchase of my work. Hopefully that will bring enough money that I can do what I want when I want.
