What do you want ?

I will not be apologizing for my last post anymore. The characteristic inconcistency is well... characteristic of me. I have tried to avoid this but I can't seem to. Life gets in the way. Truth be told it is a mental thing and dependnat on how i feel. Of course it shouldn't but it does so for now I'll just deal with it as is.

Also I tried to update on friday but blogger was obviously having some problems and i couldn't get through.

The past weeks have been interesting for sure. I've been working on my scholarship application. The deadline is on friday. I'll be emailing it to family in ghana on wednesday and will let it go from there. I'm still not sure i meet all the elibigility requirements since I don't really live in Ghana but I figure it doesn't hurt to apply. The least it does is help me get my thoughts together and help motivate me for the second sholarship application. Though there is some guilt cause if I win then I am I takin someone else's place who actually meets the req's. I don't know..I'm just going tothrow my hat in the ring and see what they say. I was gonna post the essay for the app for your review..but i left it on my home comp and I'm writing at work right now. The only thing is now I think i have to change it. I've been reading a new book." The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid" by C. K. Prahalad. Fantastic read on "Eradicating Poverty Through Profits" all about tailoring services and products for the lower quartile of people in the world. The people who earn less than $2 a day globally. In it it talks very specifically about product development for that sector of the population and might make a better reference than one of the books I used before.

Design wise however things have slowed in my skills development. haven't been drawing as much and have genereally fallen off in my upkeep. The one thing I did do was talk to these people about taking classes. It's not cheap but there's a way for me to make it more affordable even free if i work it correctly. So plans are in the works. But I definately need to do more myself. That will start when I finish with the application. And that will come in the way of you people.the few who have the misfortune to read my blog. You can request a drawing of your favourite conumer product. I will then draw this and put it on the site with the others. Ony one per person. This is a bit of a test for the site and for msyelf so please respond. I'll only do drawings of things posted in the comments section. You can't email me directly if you want me to draw something. This should get me drawig and looking at things properly.

Had some philisophical musings last week I wanted to put up but now I don't feel as good to put them up. Maybe tomorrow but could also be nothing.

Ok people I'm done ..let the requests begin
