My name's Moddex J. Everest. I mostly draw between a mix of digital and traditional anime and science fiction technology concepts. I also do graphics and at some point, I want to do architecture.
I'm taking up schooling in networking administration and technical computer repair. Gonna use the experience and certification to hopefully take me into someplace secure and lucrative so I can pursue my true goals.
Finally after a long while of hoping from one drastically life-altering idea to another, I think I may have found something that works for me. Well, okay. Before I get ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning since my (VERY FEW) watchers here at Sheezy aren't informed of my usual life.
About sometime before the turn of the year, I was planning on joining the army out of desperation for some direction in life, something to give me an unchangeable financial future. I got in at such a fast rate however, that I was COMPLETELY unready for that life and what things it had lying in wait for me ahead. I had left for South Carolina to Ft. Jackson to begin my rigorous training only to find that I was not physically up to standards for the place. In their attempt to forcefully get me to their fit condition, it ended up aggravating my arthritis and they had to discharge me under medical conditions. They weren't pleased, but that's just because they want more body count under their belt. I put up with their hell and they have the gall to be pissed with ME, like it's my fault for having arthritis, MY fault that my recruiter cut corners with my registration and pre-boot training. Feh...
Well, negative memories aside, I returned home on April 1st and immediately found myself back in the same exact spot I was in just 2 months prior to my stint in South Carolina. I felt like all was lost at this point and for several months, I wandered from place to place in town, searching hopelessly in this time of financial turmoil for even the most lowly, floor licking sort of work I could, and yet still, no one to even humor my search. I was certain I was screwed, and things were only looking worse when my mother began having an affair with a man who was visiting the whole time I was gone, leaving my dad looking like a chump. But my mom finally wised up to this guy and found him cheating on her anyway and is reconnecting with my father while he's reconciling their past. She ought to be thankful my dad's so forgiving...
But here recently, my brother and his fiancee along with her kids have moved in with me, making life all too different. I'm not use to living with others this way, dealing with kids. I've been adjusting to it though. We cook a lot more at home instead of always going out (even though I now miss it). But most importantly, my brother's helping a lot in ways to improve my situation. With his car, he's teaching me to drive. Him and I are now getting into school as I mentioned, for networking and computer technician work, gaining certifications in the field. I may be able to land jobs that pay anywhere between 15 to 30 dollars an hour once I finish a year's worth of schooling there. And in that time, I'm hoping to have a job both in between and thereafter to do what I want with my life finally.
Wow, a journal with prospect of certainty. Something I almost never have to share. Computer work isn't gonna go anywhere or dwindle as a market and my chances in getting in are sealed for sure. This won't be hard for me at all! My future may be guaranteed! My dreams aren't dead before I could pursue them after all.
