Thank you Craig Thompson for Blankets
I recently finished Craig Thompsons graphic novel Blankets and am stuck in a reflective, nostoglic, feeling about my past relationships with old flames and family members. So many topics hit really close to home and when I ask others they say the same thing.
Remebering my childhood makes me regret the past and long for a better future, but my past has been nothing wishful thinking of the future. This hit hard when finishing Blankets because it seems like, now in my late twenties, I’m ready to experience all that i can but feel like i’m running out of time fast. LIke my childhood is slipping away and before i know it I’ll get too old to enjoy the things i do now. Once i loved to play videogames, or draw comics, or hang out with my family, or go out for coffee, or go camping, or read, or spend time with others ….. All things change with time and that is what scares me.
I can see myself wishing for the future so I am starting to take back steps. Enjoying the present and letting go, or accepting, of the past is crucial to being happy now.
Today’s promise is tomorrow’s headache
Over the course of two years, a family member of mine has been buggin me to create a website for his business. Of course i’m not suck a cold hearted person to leave someone who is not tech savy in the stone age, so i eventually said yes. Now I have the a huge responsibilty to make a great website for my uncle so his business will flurish.
Latest headache is css drop down menus. It should work but the spacing is all off. Maybe I need float or something but its pissing me off.
Hopefully i can get it right or i’ll just have to right something HTML easy and not expect it to be really updatable.
Oh yeah, if anyone knows a way to open a link on the same page, I would love to hear about it. I know about IFrame but i would rather have it appear that they went to the right page but have a small banner at the top of the page stating that they came from so and so website.
Help me internet, your my only hope!
