well, there are of course things about me you may want to know, maybe even things you feel you need to know, but i also assure you there are many things you have no reason find out to but are likely to anyway if you keep reading.  such as, i could point out that my favorite color is white; there’s not much point in my telling you, though you probably could have surmised it from the looks of my site, just as some people might pick up right away on my love of swiss styling. you probably also noticed that i have a personal fondness for lowercase letters and write this way on any occasion that doesn’t cause issue, i don’t care how proper your nouns may be. well, you clicked on a page entitled “about”, so this is what you’re getting. what did you expect, a small paragraph saying “i’m dedicated to the lucrative ingenuity of your satisfaction and stature among peers, partners, and other relations”? i’ll leave that sort of ‘about’ to people who try to sound so professional at all times that they develop a fear of seeming like there’s a human behind their words.

to me though, you basically just asked for the whole rundown of my comings and goings without even having to open your mouth just by clicking; well first off, thanks for asking. secondly, i’m sure you know how to shut me up if you get bored, it’s just as easy as it is to get me talking, but otherwise~

my name is lee; yes, the official middle name of the world is my first, my middle name is jay, and now you have everything you need to steal my identity except my beloved spiderman shirt.

i’m 26, and i find it funny that at 19 i felt old, and now i feel young.  anyway, who a person is surely is more pertinent than where they came from right?  so even if it helps you understand things better, we’ll hold off on the prelude and skip to the plot of my life for now.  i am a guy who looks at the world and wants to pull things out of it, a guy that closes his eyes and doesn’t always see black. no i’m not a weirdo, i’m what people would either call a “creative” or an “artist”, a graphic designer some say, and yeah i suppose others say weirdo.  basically i like to create and recreate, and i like to spend my life earning the money to get through it in this way.

simple enough right? no curve balls yet?

i live in and did most of my ‘growing up’ in scottsburg, indiana.  i know, i know… where the hell is that right?  needless to say, it’s something of a smaller town that i live in and this location much to my liking is outside of the city, yet consists of forestry rather than a bunch of endless farmland and questionable reactions by my nose.  it’s been over a year since i graduated with two associate degrees, on in ‘web and multimedia’, and the other in ‘graphic design’.  during the time i was studying and ever since then i’ve been working in this field, i’ve afforded myself a number of awards for it, and had plenty of enjoyable times, good opportunities, and those moments where you mumble obscenities under your breath even when you’re the only one around.

how about some less relevant things?  i’m nocturnal, shy, informally formal, i’m a perfectionist, competitive, relentlessly honest, and i enjoy sarcasm.  my two best friends seem like me split in half most of the times, the women in my life however are apparently as temporary as an eclipse but make just as big of an impression.  [oh no, it's metaphors~ how dare i?] i watch the hell out of movies but haven’t watched tv in years, adversely i love music too but more often listen to the radio than my own treasured collection.

i’m freelancing rather than working for a firm for quite a number of reasons, none of which include not wanting to work at one or that i can’t get a job with them. most of it has to do with comfort and freedom even though you end up with more responsibility, it’s like carrying cotton balls after lugging around bricks for most of your life.

there’s plenty else to know, but for now there’s little else i feel like saying, so lets let this be the end of our first conversation and we’ll get to the second one when you’re ready for it~
