Random Mental Vomit in April

Haven’t written in a while and figured now would be a good a time as any.

The sun is out on a beautiful Saturday morning, and I’m sitting here in front of my windowsill attempting to get a tan. Haha. I feel inspired to go out and get some productive reading or writing done. Which is a good thing. I haven’t been inspired to do much lately. Work has been a drudge. Coworkers are difficult to work with, and I’m left in between a rock and a hard place. No matter what I do, I just can’t win. Though I’ve accepted it. All I can do is wait it out and then begin my job search anew.

I’ve also been taking classes at the School of Visual Concepts. I’m learning a lot about the ad world both in writing, art, and potential career paths. My knowledge about this industry has grown to surpass many of my peers, even those at work. That’s why I’m also feeling a little stifled. Like I’ve reached my ceiling but cannot excel any further. It’s time to move on.

Work aside, my social life has been alright. I’ve been taking a lot of trips to Vancouver lately. Love that place. Although the more I visit, I realize that I wouldn’t want to live there either. I’m in need of a lot more adventure (ie. New York). It’s a scary leap. Who would want to leave the security, established friendships, and a stable income to chase a dream. Romantic notions that almost always never pan out. However, I realize one can’t hope to win big without throwing in a lot of chips.

On the fun side, I’ve advanced quite a bit in my snowboarding this year. Love it. Seven years later and Paul Boupha finally can keep up with some of the big boys. Haha. Thankful for that.

Spring / Summer is approaching and I’m ready for a new wardrobe. Going to shop soon. It’s all about colors, colors, colors to reflect my personality. White and black are cool for Vegas but no longer for me. Symbolic? Perhaps.

Nothing else to update. I just hope to maintain the energy to write more and write better. I also pray for the patience to wait out a lot of the storm (professionally) in hopes of soon embarking on bigger and better adventures.

Remember:

Learn not to depend on others.
They’ll only let you down.
You can do anything on your own.
