Languages, Artwork, Exercise, and Updates

I haven't been to blogspot in a while. I've been so focused on the stuff going on lately around here. It looks like we won't be moving into the duplex that we were going to originally move to. But we're still going to move into an apartment. I just want to be comfortable and settled into a place so that I can clear my mind. That's my main focus right now in life, period. Focusing my mind and getting myself on track. That includes with finances, learning, and life. Speaking of these things; as far as my language studies [meus estudos de linguas/mis estudios de idiomas] I've still been working on learning Portuguese and Spanish. Why not the Japanese and French anymore you ask? Well for one; I AM still working on my Japanese, but compared to the other two, it's not as easy (mainly convenient) to learn as they are. And the French, well, I just wanted to get a start on it, but I didn't really plan on working on that one too much. My friend Tia told me I'm all in Romance land lol. Because I'm studying so many romanic languages, but that's fine with me. I'm making good progress, and just can't wait to be fluent, since I'm still choppy right now. I think in a few more months I will be more comprehensive and it's well worth the work. I'm figuring that since their so similar my progress with Port and Span. should move at about the same pace.

I'm also up kind of late, working on a drawing that I want to be finished with before the new year! I'm a little more than halfway done with it now but more details to add. I'll add a foto at the bottom. I’m trying something new, I wanted to do something a bit different than some of my others, but not stray too far from my comfort zone yet. I got some ideas the other day from model mayhem, wow there are some beautiful photos there! I also hope to start a new series with the theme I’m doing. I had to slap myself lately over my artwork. I noticed how I half-assed my way through my brother’s drawing. I’m not doing that shit anymore. But I’m not going to stress anymore, because I was about to give up on this one when I was having doubts about it. So I need to stop being so critical of myself. And also I’m just going to draw to enjoy myself! Desenhando é uma aventura! Which means that it’s not about what I’m drawing, or who or whatever. People tell me “draw someone famous”or whatever. And I think about it, and will want to do it because they said it. I’m most happy when something touches my spirit and inspires me to draw it. So I’m going to remember that and DO that. Because this is about me right now. I’ll do commissions when I do them.

But anyway, I’ve also still been writing poetry. The other day my wireless mouse stopped working so now I'm back to the one with the cord, which I stopped using because it wouldn't work properly, but oh well, until I get a new one/laptop. So that delayed with my works on some of my other projects, literary ones.

Tonight I did a good workout! It was more arduous than the past nights, and of course I'm proud of myself. I worked on stretches and strength. I want to become more flexible, and not be stiff, which sitting at the computer can do sometimes. Plan to do the same tomorrow. Anyway, that's about it for now I guess.
