IE: LIKE HOW IN SOME GAMES THE FLOOR IS A CIRCULAR BRICK PATTERN GOING FROM THE CENTER OF THE ROOM TO THE OUTER..BUT I CANT MAKE THE CIRCLES TO DEFINE THE ROWS OF BRICKS...ANY INFO WOULD HELP:)

I am not sure I get 100% what you mean, but you could change the selection tool to a circle (by clicking and holding on the dashed square at the toolbar). You could start with a large circle, then stroke the selection with a few pixels, then keep doing smaller circles and repeating the same process. Once you have all the circles. Use the line tool to create some lines across them.
From there, I would save the patern as an alpha channel so that I could texture the mortar separately from the bricks. But that is a whole other thing...
I hope that helps you. If you want I can shoot a file your way descriving what I mean. Just give me some pointers about what size do you need.
