About to order Adobe cloud for creative projects



But to be honest with you, this adobe stuff, program, just seems to complex to me, learning it seems like a whole university course within itself.
I use like easier to use programs like Ribbet or Movavi (for movie edits)...the templates are just easier. Adobe is like designed for engineers, or so it seems.

My brain has just gotten lazy, as such I don't like complicated stuff or directions.

Anyways buying and downloading adobe came up next on my 'to do list', and that's why I'm writing about it here, just to release some tension I have about my confidence to actually learn it.

I don't want it to be yet just another software I order, subscribe to, and never use do to the complexity of it.
We shall see.

The hardest part about being a student for me, a older one, is learning how to turn off other media, yappaty yap yap yap other media, talk radio, internet media, gossip media, and just focus on what I need to do so that one day I to can be in the media that other people watch and seek out.

OK, here's the deal...

I just signed up for adobe creative cloud for like 1 full year, at around $239.00.
The school I attend, if you want to call it that...I mean it's pretty much a self paced, self taught course, unless you get a really good hands on mentor who likes you.

That aside, they dropped the payment into my account, but actually, I'm sure they just took it out of my initial tuition cost...so as usual it's me who really paying for it...and it should just be apart of tuition anyways.

1. I've never ever used adobe, any of their stuff, I just always found it way to complex, especially when there were so many easier to use spin off alternatives, over the years.



I mean like this piece here, I've been creating art for over a decade just using my own skill set and getting creative with different tools.
So do really need adobe?

Probably yes, for one main reason, and that is if I do get into film stuff or photo stuff, adobe, and a few other such professional editing software, well, they're the standard that people even in Hollywood use...and so if I can't even use adobe, it just drops my value all that much more to people.

Oh, I'll figure it out, and when I do I'll be great at it, but there will be a big learning curb at first.

I really want to be a screenplay writer though, that's what I'm best at doing, is writing...I mean where do you think all the material comes from on this blog forum?

Not AI, this blog form was created years and years before AI was born.
It's all original content....all of it....and one day maybe I'll open this blog forum up to more powerful people...but not now.

Anyways, yes, getting adobe was a big deal to me, a bit overwhelmed, not to mention just received a DSLR Canon camera I just ordered and paid over a gran for...and a gimbel I've still got to charge up and figure out, not to mention lesson plans, script and more...my brain is really having to work now and is why I can no longer afford to drink.

Drinking will kill all of it, I cannot drink, and still have the mental energy and enthusiasm to do what I have to do over the next few months.
If I can just not drink, at all anymore, at least while in this course, than I should do and be fine...but you never know, cause regardless of my own actions we all know life can just be brutally cruel at times.
Anyways, I'm wasting time and writing energy here, so let me move on.

Also, I downloaded the adobe on a different PC, one that's clean..no files, no personal stuff, nothing, nada, unlike the one I'm typing with now.

Misc dialogue

Mouth wash, what of it, you may ask.

What of it?

Have you ever looked at what's in the ingredients of mouth wash?
In my opinion you're basically swigging around poison in your mouth, and then spitting it out.
Yes, that's right, poison in low doses.

Let's take a look at a few of the ingrediients in Swan mouth wash.

A lot of these online school advisors, mentors, etc, the ones getting paid, well, many want your money, but they don't want to take the time to teach you, are they rush.

Well, I mentioned AI to one of them, and now they don't want to be out of a job, so now suddenly they're eager to do a zoom like meeting and go over my script...but with AI, I really don't need them anymore.

I do, and I don't...school, this one, is all about getting connected, as such, when over, I will have met others, given out my card, etc, that I never would have if not had taken the course.

Knowledge alone is not enough to get ahead in this world.

One of the best camera training videos ever, for sure.
