- I wanted to share something with all of you, on why I never have been really angry or the divorce, or with my ex-wife. Falling in love with anyone is easy; as long as there is an attraction and mutual interests, In today’s society we are so goal & career orientated, Sadly most for most our marriage, Rachael and I were on opposite work schedules, there where times I literally drove past her as I went to school and her home from work, Between both of us being so distracted with shows, books, bills, debts, & school. That by the end of the day we are emotionally exhausted, and did not have as much to put into us. I foresaw this as a potential downfall, and asked that we work with a counselor to work on us, but Rachael was so exhausted from the stresses of life, work and bills, she did not have the energy to tackle these issues as well. In the end, Marriage is about being able to balance life’s intense demands that both we place on ourselves and others place upon us, and balance that with the love, closeness and intimacy of love. If you don’t make each other one of, if not the highest priorities, Then sadly the outcome what we have in this country today, a very high divorce rate.
- Today would have marked Rachael’s & I’s 8th wedding anniversary, so may 23rd will always be a bittersweet day for me. I don’t regret the marriage for a second, nor her decision to end it, I think it’s up to everyone one of us, to choose the best course of life we can hope for. My only regret I have left is that I wish we could have parted as friends; she was the best one someone could have asked for. I hope wherever she is, whomever she is with, whatever she is doing nothing but the best of life and that all her dreams come true.
- Wither or not if a marriage does not work out in the long run or if it ended in a divorce, the real question is did you both enrich each other’s life’s, did you get to experience new and exciting parts of yourself, your partner, and the world. Then no matter what, it was a success.
- To me there are few things more therapeutic for the soul then expression and vulnerability, say what you have to say and get it off your consciousness without anger, expectation, or fear. Our spirits can only fly when they are not bound by the fear of rejection, or expectations of others.
- Making a few minor adjustments in outlook, expectations, even a good captain might need to check his compass from time to time, just to make sure that the he has not drifted off course.

Info
- SummaryGreetings,
My name is Kenneth Pedersen and I am a Digital Artist. I specialize in visual effects and motion graphic work. Compositing, Rotoscoping, Editing, Color Grading, Motion tracking are the my areas of expertise.
My skills are both top notch and varied. I have a voracious appetite for learning new software packages, skillsets in my field and new creative techniques. I am at my best doing problem solving and love a good challenge.
Previous to my life in Digital Art I worked in computers for 14 years in a technical support role and am very competent in troubleshooting all operating systems, web development, and networking problems, which puts me in the particular position of not only being a creative force but also being able to solve any possible technical problems I might come across.
I have three degrees, a Bachelor in Film, and two Associates, one in Digital Animation and Visual Effects, and the other in Electronics & Computer Technology. In addition, I am a font of knowledge on just about every sort of space craft and alien technology that has ever crossed the screen. I look forward to piloting your next project.

It’s hard to describe oneself in words, words have context that everyone associates differently. I was born in Mobile, Alabama in the year 1975. That I work in Film & Video, that the things I enjoy are art, but that really only tells you what I do, like and where I am from.
I have a voracious love of life, music, food, passion, art, sciences, literature, and the cinema. I dislike genres and labels of most things in life, I enjoy what I enjoy, be it Punk, Opera, County, Mudding, or Physics, I am just at home in a Ti-chi form as I am in a mosh pit, or spoken word lecture. I enjoy cooking immensity and am always coming up with experimental recipes and modification of old favorites. I have a love of dancing in all forms from slow-dancing with a loved one to high energy club dancing. I read a great deal of books but most of the favorites include Speculative fiction (Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror) as to me the question of “what-if” is the second most powerful human phrase behind “I love you”. Movies and Filmmaking are both my passion and choice of profession, as I feel that story telling is the most ancient and passionate way we can impart of view of the world, on the ones left behind. I am liberal to the point but will not say I am of an particular party, but feel that the rights of all genders, countries, races, theology’s, and orientations should be respected and honored. I am very spiritual but not religious, nor do I care much for organized religions in general.
in general I seem to not be able to be classified in very many ways, I don’t fit neatly into any box or ideology, and am quite continent with that. …
