Creative Juices Running Rampant

The creative juices have just be flowing in me lately. I have been seeing things in a new light ever since I changed majors, and got out of the bad habits that I was in at Saginaw. Not that Saginaw wasn't a great school, I just built horrible habits there and was not able to break them.

I am truly happy that I have given up drinking and partying (not saying that I won't exercise my legal right to consume a beer or two), but my days of partying hopping and waking up with no recollection of the night before are long gone. I have found my passion and my drive and nothing is going to stop me (of course except a major illness, or being struck by a moving object).

For the past couple of days I have been really into photography. Not just pointing and shooting or going to a fancy scenery and then taking a picture of it, but the actual compositions or the fundamentals of good photographs. As you can see in the blog preceding this one, I mentioned a DSLR camera (Digital SLR) which has been sitting on my every thought. I can seriously picture myself going to parks, taking photographs of dogs and their owners, then photoshopping the picture up a little bit, and publishing it. Or taking photos of Downtown Chicago, and adding texture, HDR imaging, and other types of photo manipulation to the once simple image. UGH THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!!!!

I have taught myself photoshop and have been doing logos ever since (about 3 months). I will actually post a link to a photobucket album that I have created with a limited view of some of my work. Mainly because I have been using a little bit of tutorials and I probably need to credit some of the works that were ACTUALLLY published.

I will honestly probably post another blog when I get home of the days wrap-up of things that actually made me quite FURIOUS. I have to actually go take a test that I am pretty well prepared for.

Until later tonight...

First Blog EVERRRR!!!

I guess I will start off by telling you about myself. My name is Ryan Seaford and at this moment in time am 21 years old. I guess I feel that I started a blog to join this thing called the "Technical Revolution." That and I want to be able to express my opinions or talk about things that have just been grinding me down.
I grew up moving around most of the East Coast (I am a military baby or what they call a "Navy Baby"). I was born in Virginia and have lived in the following states: Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia (but might as well have been Florida), South Carolina, Michigan, and currently Illinois. I don't mind moving but I was so young that these moves never really affected me due to the young mental age that I had.
Here are my interests: baseball, softball, football, golf, basketball, music, movies, succeeding, photoshop, pictures, abstract realities, TV, xbox 360, warm weather, walking around, shopping, art, bad ass websites, homework (sometimes), creation (of anything I guess), opinions, computer programs, photography.
I think that list could have gone on forever. I will probably just end this blog, but it has been real America (or to those are are listening/viewing).

Things I want:

1. New tv
2. Macbook
3. iMac
4. Digital SLR Camera
5. iPod Classic 120 GB

Feel free to mail me anyone of these.

Don't worry, when I become more comfortable blogging my opinions will RAIN upon the digital world like FIRE!!! LOL, alright that was intense... I just haven't had an experience today that has really gotten underneath my skin. THEY WILL COME,
I PROMISE!
