Interview With an Update.

I figured I would write a little update.

Some of you (if there are some of you) may have heard that I had an interview today. It was with a job placement firm for a Video Game Level Design (3D modeler) The interview went well though I was a little nervous. A very strange situation job placement companies are and yet I've done 3-4 interviews with various placement firms and gotten literally nowhere. Mostly because they claimed I was under qualified, or they didn't have the type of jobs I was after.

However this seemed different. The interview went well, and I handled myself and presented myself as best I could. The interviewer was nice though I picked up on some subtle changes I wasn't sure about. She said she thought I would be great for the 3D modeler job, and she was going to send my paperwork and portfolio over, but she also offered me a chance to do a quote for a Professional facebook creating job for an oil company which may or may not be a full time thing.

Either way, I'm hoping to do either or, or both. I'm trying to make enough to pay bills, pay off any debts, and save up to move on with my fiancé. She's been counting on me, as have my family, and It's about time my hard work paid off. My family has been struggling lately with earth shattering changes, and there are emotions a plenty around me. Me getting this going will definitely be the change I was fighting for.

I am also halfway through my two month candida kill-off diet. My stomach is flatter, my mind works faster (when I've had sleep), and I feel better. Still taking GABA, and probiotics, and fiber. More on all that later. Anyways.

P.s. Expect more Animation projects from me. Here is my first animated short, if you missed it.

Lifestlyes of the Poor and Aspie.

I am at a loss.

I grew up doing the right thing. I told the truth, stayed off drugs, have a clean criminal record, finished high-school, Got my degree. All the things you are supposed to do according to "everyone" I did. And it has gotten me literally nowhere.

I have aspergers, and always had. I've been mocked, emotionally tortured, picked on, dealt with the awkward situations caused by not knowing social protocol. But I evolved, trial and error, even with the sharp learning curb. I have evolved into a strong mature adult with a fiance, in a very satisfying, and thoroughly thought out strong relationship...but

I sit around every day applying for job after job, sometimes 30 at a time...No responses, no nothing. And before you assume my degree is one of those useless throwaway degrees most people complain about after graduating. My degree is: "Graphic Design 3D Animation A.A. Degree."

A degree in graphic design. I have the ability to use 15 or so of the top graphics programs. Lightwave, Zbrush, After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad, and even motion capture and 3D scanning programs. It does not seem to matter to anyone. 

And as I sit around all day applying for jobs until (like right now) I want to bash my head against the wall, my family is struggling, and my fiance is waiting in the wings for me to come through for both of us. And everyone, including myself is losing hope.

I am good at what I do, and I know I can basically do anything when it comes to graphics, but I can't even find an entry level job doing what I do. and when I apply for the proverbial "any job" I'm told to get in desperation from the people around me, I get no responses from them either. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Fedex Kinkos. Not a single call back.

Meanwhile I'm fighting some parasitic entity inside my body that's been probably solely responsible for most, if not all of the physical ailments in my life. I've had to change my diet completely to avoid sugar, most carbs, all starches, no canned foods, nearly nothing. While taking medicine hoping I can flush this "candida" bastard out of my blood, and my system.

All the while my family is falling apart. Splitting at the seams. Nobody is who they were, or who we thought they were. My only way out of any of these situations is to find work...Work...Hide and seek champion of the last 4 years.

Just had to get that out there. Tip of the iceberg people.
