Refresh! Degrees! Double-spacing!

Tumblr refresh! I was bored browsing the net today and stumbled upon Tumblr. Oh what a joy, it’s been awhile! Hahah. Anyways, I just posted up a few pictures to get the ball rolling once more, then I can update again in three months :D.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post more up as time progresses; I’d love to keep track of my very own progress. Some encourage me that I should really look into photography or art school of some sort, but I think many don’t realize that one doesn’t need a degree to do what he or she loves. Success comes from knowing that you can make great art that you are proud of. And that’s the direct product of learning your trade and equipment by any means possible. With that said, I’m not sure if I’ll end up going to school for it, but it definitely crosses my mind from time to time! A degree doesn’t guarantee greatness or ascertain talent, but it sure helps achieve it I’m sure. But I digress! 

DOUBLE SPACING. From the day I learned how to type in my 6th grade computer education class, my instructor taught me to double space after each sentence. This spartan way of typing was useful back in the typewriter days, when sentence breaks were less obvious, but why Mr. Arnoldt taught us this technique 20+ years after it became obsolete boggles my mind. Now it’s become second nature for me to do it EVERYTIME I type, and I’m trying to break that habit. This whole post was typed single spaced, and it took me almost twice as long to type had I been not conscious about my spacing. Twenty one days breaks a habit, but I don’t know if any amount of time can cure me from this inconvenience -_-.

And that’s it! I’m out :]. Oh yeah, R.I.P. Steve Jobs, I’m getting the iPhone 4s in your honor >:].
