Let's give this another shot

So, I've been away for a long time.

Lots has happened: dropped out of varsity, became a shroom-munching coke-head stoner hippy, grew some dreads, had those cut off in rehab, nearly 2 years clean and sober now...

Phew! I needed to just get that out of the way.

Nowadays I'm back to living with Mom and Dad, cuz it keeps me safe, and I do websites for an advertising agency. Which is stressful, so far (hasn't been very long at this job yet).

But in reality I want to be a freelance web developer/designer. However my skills need brushing up. So much is happening in web design that I need to catch up on. I'm making web sites the way we did it 5 years ago. I want to be making websites like the guys on thinkvitamin, A List ApartSmashing Magazine, et al; with all the responsive fluid mobile first standards compliant jQuery PHP MySQL HTML5 and CSS3 goodness I can get my grubby paws on. In addition to which, I need to learn about Graphic Design and running my own business while managing my life, saving up money, and not relapsing on drugs.

The first thing I need to do then, is make a custom template for this blog. And go from there.
