Dungeon Talk

I'm in the basement, where the Black and Mild smoke won't irritate my wife. This where the drafting table and all the equipment lives. Admittedly, I don't spend much time down here. I work almost exclusively off of my laptop, on the dining room table. This is the only way I can stay focused and still spend time with my significant other. However, when I'm down here with the music and the art, I can't help but feel as though I am neglecting a huge chunk of me. I know that I use elements of my artistic person in my commercial pursuits. Typography is grafiti to me. Graphic design is doing a piece except the wall is a monitor. Those clever slogans are just homeless lines from "dope rhymes". I am passionate about it all, but only a fraction of it has been profitable. That fraction is what I base my career on. Just typing that feels crazy, besides actually living it.
I live on the web now. I'm constantly face to face with the competition and their product. I am furnished with armor in the form of information and the constant reminder that there are plenty of gifted people in this field. I have always been one to believe that awareness promotes evolution and that humility is the foundation of power. A lot the people who do what I do, do it better than me. Twitter has led me to quite a few. Don't get me wrong, I always operate at a professional caliber but sometimes professional is wack. There is always room for growth. Motivation is being exposed to those who have grown.
With that being said and the black (black and mild) being 2/3 ash, I'll announce the launch of the new HDS site. A little bigger. A little bolder. Not as slick as I envisioned, but better than before. As I tighten my grip on CSS, I promise you all a more pleasurable online experience. Maybe my business schoolmate @smerx or my comrade Chen from the Florida side can offer a bit of tutelage. Either way, the knowledge will be acquired. I also updated my Twitter background. It took outrageously long to actually upload, but that's Twitter. It's cool, but I'm paying more attention to colors now so I'll say it's OK. I will most definitely be laying out a new composition, but I welcome any feedback on the current one.
I dudded the black out. This beat has been playing for an hour. I have forgotten a verse I wrote in my head while I was writing this. I am skitzophrenic and every one of my personalities is exhausted. I think I'll stay up til they pay up, but this money on my mind is the money I can't find. Next time.........
