How is everyone going?
Thought I would update since the old post wasn't really that interesting!
What to update?
Well I am still job-less! Other then doing my regular Monday/Tuesday shifts at the supermarket to keep at least a little bit of cash coming. The days are slowly but surely getting boring, I am waiting to hear back about two jobs, one an illustration job the other an animation job, I think if I don't hear back with anything positive I will just get my act together and write up a CV (Finally!) and try my luck at a book/dvd/music store or something, on the plus side, if I do manage to get myself a job at one of those three types of places, I will have the resources I would usually require to make myself happy even if it doesn't pay too well!
Which brings me to another point.. before you read, I'm not exactly sure where i'm going with this BUT! ...
Cash truly does restrict you from the majority of the world huh? I feel it shouldn't but it does. For example, you wanna read that book you've had your eye on for ages to further your knowledge in a particular department, or you wanna go see that movie to motivate your imagination, or you really wanna go out for dinner just to get out of the house, or you wanna travel to some far off place just for the sake of being there, or you just wanna get on the bus or buy petrol and just drive around for no particular reason till you find a place that seems to 'call' to you... It all involves money, which requires working in a job you really do not enjoy at all which in the end means you must become a slave to money in order to do those things you really want to do, all for material things which usually you don't really NEED but you WANT them as it kind of "furthers" you as a person right? Or so it would seem.
I've always been a firm believer in the fact that if I MUST work, that I would work a job that I would enjoy even if it does pay crap rather then a job I hate which pays really well and would set me up to have whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted further down the track. I think if you are content in life doing what you are doing, without the need for material things that you don't actually NEED, then you shouldn't really NEED much money at all right? As long as I could pay the rent, I have my health and my friends then that should be enough to keep me happy throughout life right and no one should have any right to get on my case about being a "bum" and not having any financial goals right? I seem to look at life from a different perspective, I believe life is about learning and understanding, the journey not the destination, not being rich and driving a flash car and getting all the hot chicks/dudes... is having all those things at the cost of not enjoying your working life (which takes up quite a lot of your life) worth it? Sure they would be nice but i'm not so sure I could live life like that.
As I said before, i'm not sure where i'm going with this, just thought i'd rant!
Anywho! How's Freelance everyone?
Whos class is everyone in? Whos classmates with who? Any big changes? I miss that place!
Let me know what you've all been up to huh?
Till Next Time

You know me and money... I'm one to never spend any money I get. I just got alot of holiday pay since I quit berkeley and I know a hundred people that would just spend it in a week.
So you might go without the treats like books and stuff because you don't have any money, but I got without material stuff as much as I can just to have the money in the bank.
So don't worry about treats. just enjoy what you have already!
also, we're totally going for the same jobs!
I hope we get, like, one each or something!
also, coming to Maxs? pleeeeeeze!!!
I'm just saying there are those who are willing to work horrible jobs that drains them and they hate but earn heaps of cash, of course they can afford to buy all the things they want but at what cost?
After re-reading it again i'm not sure what I was going on about, it was just in my head at the time

I always get by okay, i'm kinda just saying that I don't really feel the same urge that the people around me seem to feel when it comes to working and earning. Sure money would be great but I'd rather work somewhere I enjoy working at even I don't earn as much as other people.
As for Maxs, I'll do my best to make it, I need to re-read the note and find out the details.
I think when I read it the first time I didn't know how to get out there.
Also good luck with the jobs, It would be awesome if you and I both scored a job huh?
