Joshua King's Sphere of Thought

And The World Don't Stop

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the life we lead as humans. The human experience...it's something really to be exalted. The stories I've come to love; the stories I've felt touched by as a child...they were so different, but so alike at the same time. The lifes we lead, the love we acquire, the trials we may have to face along the road (or rickety rope bridge) to get to where we as humans perceive success to lie. I love a good story...yes I do. Stories of love, of loss, of adventure, magic and epic battles. I never can seem to stray from the tried and true plot lines you see shared in just about every great novel and movie throughout the history of time. Is it worth pursuing "uniqueness", or is it far more rewarding to follow the formulas of the greats? I'm not really sure, but I know what I love. I love the classic stories, the beautiful tales that stir up in us the very feelings that make us human in the first place.

On a lighter note, I've switched my major to computer information systems. I'm done, no more switching. It's what I'm good at, and It's what I can finish the quickest. It only makes sense to pursue something of that nature at this particular crossroads in my life. It should only take me around 3 more semesters, and then....then my story will begin. I wonder where life will take me.

I've been pondering a lot on the reasons why I long so much for human interaction. Why is it that I want to get to know everyone I meet? Why do I fall in love with any girl who shows me the slightest bit of interest...so very easily. Why is it, that I'm looking around frantically for a woman to love me as much as I love her at this time in my life? Well...I can only imagine the answer to the last question, is that the other members of my family got married so young, and started their families right away. They are happy, and I suppose I want that very same happiness in my life. However, I've realized by following their mentality, I've done exactly what I swore in my youth never to do...and that is to be anything but true to myself, and my own thoughts. I must be Joshua King, and do/think what Joshua King would do/think.

I've been doing lots of artwork on my computer, thinking upon the story I'm doing research on to create. I've all but mastered a program called Adobe Photoshop CS, and I'm very close to mastering another set of programs called Macromedia MX Studios. These are the 2 most powerful web/graphic design programs on the face of the earth currently, and for the time being, they offer me peace of mind in my never-ending thirst for creative growth. I've also created my very first flash animation movie, which you can view here. It's very cheesy, but it's supposed to be that way (it's my first movie, give me a break! lol). You'd have to understand Final Fantasy VII in order to even understand it for the most part.

Anyhow, I'll try and update a bit more in the future. There's just been too much going on lately. To all who read this, pray for my ever declining sanity. Mucho gracias.
