It all comes down to this.

This is it! I am finally graduating from The Art Institute of Houston! Whoo-hoo! I had my last class yesterday evening, and graduation is this coming Thursday. I am so glad that this is over and that I can finally start my career. I have been looking forward to this moment for quite some time now, and man does it feel great! I’m currently working on my portfolio/website which should be up and running within a few days. You’ll be able to check it out at http://www.webdziner.com. I just need to tweak it a little bit and fix minor bugs.

So as you can see, I have been busy with my portfolio for the past 3 months, hence the reason why I haven’t posted anything here in a loooong time. So here’s what else has been up with me…

I got a MacBook!!! Yes, I am addicted now. I’m a macfreak. No way I’m going back to PCs. ugh… Those 2 letters should stand for “Probably Crashing” or something. Seriously though, Mac OS X is so much cleaner, faster, it works and it works well… I don’t understand why people don’t want to switch… I understand that in the past 15 years, people adapted to Microsoft’s Windows OS, and “change is scary”, but Apple makes it so easy to adapt to their OS and they make it convenient for anyone to switch and/or adapt with their “Genius Bar” in Apple stores or with their free video tutorials online. As for software, PC people will say “we have to buy all our software again and that will be expensive”. Ok… granted. BUT, there are alternatives: for MS Office (which costs about $250), you have Apple’s iWorks which is only $80 which gives you Keynote, Pages & Numbers, the equivalent of PowerPoint, Word and Excel; do the everyday people use any other of Office’s software? Plus, Apple’s iLife lets you create movies, DVDs, photo albums and even websites in only a few minutes, and this comes included in every Mac. And another thing: you know when you turn on a new PC for the first time, you can’t use it for about an hour because of all the installs and upgrades and registrations and all… when I first turned my Mac on, I was already working on it within not even the first 10mins. So yea, go Apple :)

Anyway, enough about this propaganda, right? What else can I talk to you about… Ooh, yea, ok, so, when I first moved to Houston, the Houston Rockets won the Playoffs, and since then they sucked. Until now! They are up to 20-0! They’re currently tied with 1971 Bucks for the 2nd-longest winning streak… I’m not that much into sports, but I’d really like the Rockets to win the Playoffs this year just to party on Main St. with everyone from Houston… and also, I consider myself a Houstonian, so just to be proud of my home team :) GO ROCKETS!!!

On a completely different note, I’ve been watching “The Office” lately, and I find it extremely funny. Steve Carell is very funny amongst the other characters in the story.

Alrighty, well, I’m running out of ideas, so I’m gonna leave you on a final note: to my friends from AiH, even though we won’t see as much as we’re used to now that we’ll be working for different companies, I still want to keep in touch and I hope that we’ll be able to see each other from time to time. It’s been a pleasure continuing my education with you guys (you know who you are). Congrats to you and may your skills and talents lead you to a successful career, which I’m sure they will.

Ciao friends! Hasta luego!
