Getting things sorted out- blog wise

I guess life is really like a box of chocolates.
Becuase you get those chocolates that you really hate, and since you have already bit into it, you can't put it back.
You can't take something from life with out learning from it. And once you take it, life wont take it back until you do. (Unless it is a lemon...and you are Cave Johnson..lol Portal 2 joke >:D)

(link for original site and size  )
Anyway!
I finally feel like I am getting my life back into order. For reasons I will refrain from getting into at this time, I have been in a state of 'limbo' with everything.
And now I am happy to say I am getting prepared for what may (and hopefully will) lay ahead.

I think I will go a head and come out and write this: If you are still reading this, then yay for the both of us! If not...well I could just stop writing. Right now. At this very second, but I am not going to now am I....
I am not sure how interesting this blog will really be. I will try to make it interesting to the best of my knowledge and...ability.

So any how, as I was saying,
I am excited to hopefully start my dream career! If I was blogging up to this, it probably would make a lot more sense lol but I will do a brisk 'fill you in' becuase I feel the need too:  

-it's not really that brisk...sorry I ramble about Valve-

It has been my dream since 2008 to work at a company called 'Valve" If you don't know who they are, then leave. Right now. Click the little 'X' on your browser and---okay, just kidding. But for good measure, here is their web site. They are a video game company.
THE BEST VIDEO GAME COMPANY EVER!
:D
They have inspired m in many many many ways. I love all of their games, but Portal has to be one of my all time favorite ones. And now, Portal 2.
I went out last year and got a small portal tattoo on one side of my inner..hip area.(before portal 2 came out) and now I may get a Portal 2 one on the other side to match...
(that is off of my Deviant art page)
I have always been artistic in different ways. I went to school for 3D modeling and graphic design for 2 years and I also have collage credits and a certification in adobe photoshop.
And in a  lot of ways, Valve really gave me that push into 3D modeling. how was I inspired to do those courses? Valves games. There really isn't a better answer. Well, maybe, but not one that will be short. Why was I inspired to do something that life changing? (I say life changing because I was going to be a translator....) Becuase this company is different. Different in such a way that they are so innovative with games, they captivate everyone. Especially me. These games are unforgettable. They keep audiences, the company them self are so amazing and different. They have that whole thing they did with Portal 1. Where they secretly updated it to help with the upcoming Portal 2. Everyone that works there is amazing. Plane and simple
I want a job there so bad....you have NO idea. I have now officially wrote out my cover letter and resume...I am very excited. Once I am back home I will send it off....!

I have gone through some not so great situations in my life over the past few years and the one thing I held onto the whole time was this aspect of maybe having the chance to work at valve any way possible. I never gave up my courses or dream no matter what people said to me.  I want to do something with my life, and that thing is Valve.

See, If I was blogging this before you would know how hard writing those things were...how hard I have been working and learning. i have been working with their game engings, modding things, ect.

Aaah the feeling of being so nervous about future endeavors...! A great thing. It keeps me going sometimes.

This is getting to be a pretty long 'first entry' so I think I will cut my self off now before I get too boring.

:D

um....bye
