A reason to vote.

This is the last two months before the big election. Because of this, I felt inclined to throw caution to the wind and forget my principles to not talk politics. Now i don't make this decision lightly, usually politics is sacred ground that i tread lightly on so as to not lose any friends or make any enemies. i'm sure you can relate, we've all been burned by opening our mouths around the dinner table Sunday evening or in front of the life long friend we didn't know was a staunch believer in the opposite direction. Yes, I know you can think of at least one experience off the top of your head.
Well, I think this time around I need to take the risk and give a good mention to the way I am going to cast my lowly vote. Obama. Now if you were thinking the other way that is okay! I totally respect that and you don't even have to mention that you read this to me. We can go on in harmony, living in peace the next time we meet. No worries!
But before you grumble away ( or smile because you're in support too ) I urge you to spend 15 minutes of your life and watch one of his speeches. He is truly inspiring and I honestly feel he will be a great and monumental leader for the dark and difficult times that lie ahead. Just HAVE A LOOK, you owe it to yourself and your country to be well informed.

Colorado Trip










Last September I was asked to go on a trip to Colorado. I have never been to Colorado so I decided to give the trip a try. I went with my Dad and Mom and we traveled by car. We saw many sights along the way and had a great time. When we arrived in Colorado we met up with my Cousin, Bob Bob has lived there for a long time and often refers to Colorado as God's country. I wasn't sure I believed that statement as I am fond of my Southern California. Well, after having experienced the glorious spender of the state; I now agree that Colorado is God's country. The air was brisk and clean and it seemed I could see forever. The people we met were very kind and we felt welcomed in every town we visited. Colorado is a beautiful and peaceful place, if you have not been I recommend going.

My Senior Project.


All students graduating from college have to do a final project, this project is often referred to as a senior project. I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in 2007 with a degree in Fine Arts and had to do a senior project. For my senior project I did a large-scale painting on canvas. The final size of the painting was six by eight feet, making this the largest painting I have ever worked on. I built the frame and stretched the canvas myself which added another degree of difficulty to the project. I decided on a classical style and subject as I felt that would demonstrate my ability as an artist the best. The subject of the piece is Joseph, the earthly father and caretaker of Jesus, and Him as a newborn child. I chose this subject because I am an active member of the Christian community and have always wanted to do a piece of this nature. The star that marked the birth of the babe can be seen in the right top corner of the painting. I chose to feature Joseph instead of Mary to give a new perspective to the story. I wanted to show that Joseph was as much a part of his life as was his mother Mary. It is from Joseph that I am sure He learned his carpenter trade amongst many other things. Because of this, the piece is entitled, “The Carpenter’s Son”. The original painting was done in color as seen. I have featured a black and white version as well for variety.

  Here’s a little more on going to school for art. Getting a degree in Fine Arts is harder than people think. To complete my degree I needed to fulfill all the general education requirements plus all the art requirements. The art classes are difficult because they require six hours of studio/ class time each week. This is double the amount of a standard lecture class. Because of this, I had to spend twice as much time at school than most students of regular more academic subjects. So next time you meet a graduate of Fine Art let them know how impressed you are:)

snow day


Wow! My first blog ever! I'm so excited to be learning about new and exciting technology. Hopefully i will stay motivated to work on my blog as often as possible. lets see, the other day i went up to the local mountains and had a really fun snow day with my girlfriend tamara! we romped around in the snow for while then went home when it started to rain on us a little. before we left, we built a snow man and went for a short hike. we took some silly pics with our snowman i thought were pretty funny. we found that building our snowman on a tall rock or hill made it so we had to do less work to get our snowman to the desired height. working with snow is super cold on your hands! between each layer i had to take a break to warm up. in the future i will bring a small shovel so i don't have to touch the cold snow over and over. we had a really great time and i am looking forward to going back and doing it again. next time we will drive my truck and haul some snow back with us.
