Hi everyone:

I guess it happens to all artists, or is just me (getting old!!? Aaacckkkk!!), but I just entered in one of my "low" periods of creativity, where nothing really cool comes to mind. But these last two months I managed to keep writing author notes and story ideas for my "Feral" project, which is not dead, thank you; it is still in gestation period.

Also, I'm waiting for the "Avatar" movie to come out! So far the trailers are just awesome!!!

My father-in-law passed away today. He served as pastor for many years and blessed a lot of people with his words of wisdom and serving others. I know he is well now in the hands of the Lord. I will surely miss him.

It seems these past months has been a path of sadness for me as I have lost three people I knew and appreciated. It has been hard, but also it has helped me to better cope with the death of a relative or friend.

Take care you all.

Hi everyone:

Just learned that my sick friend passed away yesterday afternoon. I know he is now at peace and in God's loving hands. Farewell, good friend, you will be missed.

Hi there:

Yes, yes, I know. I have been away for a while. Sorry, guys.

Anyway, I want to thank those people who added some of my renders to their favs list in the last few months. Thank you and sorry for not replying to you before!

Still doing experimental renders, but haven't got the time to finish them. I will try to take some time to post some of them.

In other news.....

> Finally was able to assemble a new PC! (Yay!) For those computer geeks wondering the specs... AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition, Wintec AMPX 3GB DDR3 RAM, Asus M4A78T-E AM3 motherboard, Sony Optiarc 7240S DVD Burner, Ultra LSP650 Power Supply, and Cooler Master Elite 330 Case and running Windows 7 Release Candidate on a 160GB Sata Drive I had around. Still pending to get while I recover financially....An ATI Radeon 4830/4850 series Video Card, and a 500GB+ SATAII hard drive. I have been making some tests with Daz Studio 3 and this baby does 3d renders quite fast (compared to my old but reliable P4 machine which I still use!) Do I plan to overclock it? Nope, but all the pieces are there in case I change my mind!

> In July 17 another year passed by and reached the awesome age of 42! Yay...ouch...my back!!! Those gray hairs have increased their presence in my hair, but I don't feel to rush to the drugstore to cover them.... Just for Men...anyone? LOL!

> I realized that at this rate, I will never complete my "be-in-shape-before-age-45" exercise plan. Nah, although I like bodybuilding and admire people who stay in shape, I would like at least to reach a more healthy weight before I hit the "forty five" mark. So I still have three more years to fulfill that wish.

> Feral...or "the story that no one is expecting" is still alive, thank you. I'm still writing my "author's notes" which I hope to organize properly someday and have a sort of "Feral's Guide" to any writer who would like to make stories of the concept. In other words, Feral is still a work in progress...slow progress.

> On a sad note... another friend of mine is in critical condition. I'm not sure if he will make it through as he have been battling with diabetes for a long time and his health has gone in a downward spiral in the last weeks. I pray that the Lord give him peace and takes care of him during this critical moments, and if the worse happens, I believe he will be in the hands of the Lord, resting at last. It not easy, as I lost a dear friend less than a year ago.

Well, that's all for now. Take care you all.

Hey there!

Well its been a while but finally I uploaded a new render today! Yay!

Hope my muse stays longer this time as I zip though my double sized cup of trials and tribulations.

But the Lord is my strength, even when I think that there's no more road ahead, he lights up my path to show me the way.

Take care you all!
