Hello, the Internet! :3
Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Matt, and as you can probably guess by the title of my blog... I am about to begin a risky chase. I am not running from the government, and I don't have anybody coming after me (I hope... :/). No. In the near future, I will begin to trek towards my lifelong aspiration: working for Walt Disney Animation Studios.
I will share a little bit about me: I am second-generation Army, through I am planning to get out after my initial term (my Dad is a retired SFC). I have a wife of 3 years named Laura, and our little family consists of 2 cats and a lizard. I have always wanted to become an animator since I discovered that I had a talent for drawing in the 3rd grade. I created my first original cartoon character 2 years later and I have since refined and perfected his look and character, along with my talent, while expanding my library of 'toons.
My hope for this blog is... multifaceted, really. First and foremost, I want to share my dream, and progress towards, through this challenging transition. Second, I want to send a message to everyone (especially all of my fellow Service Members out there) that if you have a dream, you can achieve it with enough planning and hard work. Third, I thought it would be nifty to give all the people I care about access to where I am every step of the way, in a way that Facebook could not achieve.
All of this being said, I am looking forward to getting the ball rolling on this blog :D I will be making improvements to the look of the blog, along with photos and other fun things! I hope I can garter... a little bit of a following, at least (ha ha), seeing as this would be my very first actual blog.
Thanks for reading and I promise I won't neglect my blog! I've been thinking about this for quite some time.
