Mood: Joy
Listening to: Slipknot
Reading: my Twitter messages
Watching: America's Funniest Home Videos
Playing: Bejeweled 2
Eating: Krispy Kreme donuts
Drinking: milk

yes you read that right.
my personal site DesignByRaul.com is almost finished.
i don’t have a set launch date yet but it should be very soon.

i had so much going on in the past few months that i didn’t have time to work on my site.
i originally had a planned launch date of early Spring 2009 but that didn’t happen.

i think it was mostly due to the fact that i was going for a complex site design powered mostly by JavaScript but seeing as im new to the more advanced techniques of web design
i couldn’t quite pull it off.

but this time around i decided to go with a simpler and cleaner design which has been finished.

it’s all going to be HTML and CSS and i should be done with the coding fairly quickly.

to see my progress on the site and previews of new projects im working on
you should follow my updates on Twitter!

I've got 18 years of trickiness and creativity under my belt. And I consider myself to be the L.A. Trifecta of the Hollywood Art World. Which means I am a Musician, Photographer, and Graphic Designer.

I'm Raul.

I'm 18.

I break Headphones.

I meditate daily.

I can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than a minute.

My fastest time was 41 seconds.

I have a great sense of humor. I find humor in everything. I'll even laugh at the most childish things. People tell me that I have the best sense of humor possible.

I'm a Typophile. Which means i love Typography.

I have a large collection of fonts on my computer totaling at 3000+

I have so many fonts that i can recognize and name the fonts just by looking at the letters.

I have a weird habit that wherever i go, i always try to name every font i see.

I'm ADDICTED to this game called Stepmania. Its basically a DDR clone for PC.

Cosmic Brownies + Hot Cheetos Puffs + Tampico Orange Juice + Easy Mac = Happiness.

My favourite things about nature are Trees, Lakes, Rivers and Clouds

I am a Graphic/Web Designer and I'm really into music. I help promote bands, design and advertise for them.

The main tools I use are Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, After Effects CS3 and an HP Pavilion Tx2000z Tablet PC.

I am a Photographer and I specialize in Landscape and Macro.

I am a self taught Guitarist of 8 years and a classicaly trained Pianist of 5 years.

I am also an Experienced Composer and Recording Artist.

I have an insanely accurate Relative Pitch.

I am currently working towards getting my A+ Certification to repair computers.

Good to here
Thats a good thing to do, to get the hang of Dodge and Burn, can be used for lots of things, thay are awesome tools

Tip: When using Dodge and Burn, make sure you always start off with ( off set colours
) You can't dodge and burn pure white or black

Send me a message or something, if you make something out of this, would like to see it

Thanks again
Craig

~Japants Aug 12, 2008, 4:07:03 PM

oh haha!
thanks for the tip!
yeah i was doing something earlier with dodge and burn and i was using black and white and it would only turn things gray.

but yeah sure i'll send you a link when i get something done!
thanks!

Someday, I will break the ice, that's what I'm saying, cause dancing's what I love, too high, can't come down, center of attention, feels like the crowd is saying "You wanna piece of me?", another day, another drama.
