Well I'm another day older another day hairier, and a bit more braindead. I'm glad to say that i've just sent out a small fleet of my resume brochures to 26 St. louis based graphic design firms, advertising agencies, and printing companies. Now it's time for the waiting game. The school load this week is a bit less than average, so a little spare time might just occur. That'll be nice. I really need to get going on getting a cd-rom based portfolio together for possible future interviews. I've got a couple of ideas about it, but to be honest I don't know how realistic they're going to be. I've been tinkering a great deal with a wireless network setup up at school. I acquired a laptop wireless pci card from my friend and mentor John Rokusek, I'm having a cumbersome time however testing how it works, because the supposed high speed internet at WIU is pretty much shit for the dorms, i've heard alligations that Xbox network play is slowing it down, but i think it's just the University slacking. I've been meaning to write a very angry letter, but i haven't exactly pinpointed who to write it to. I'm still searching for more addresses to bombard st.louis with my resumer brochure, it looks pretty good and the fine people at Laser Images in Quincy held true to their word and gave me exactly what I wanted done, a feat I once thought impossible in quincy printing...with the exception of JK and other fine distinguished printers I have not had contact with...Damn you staples and broadway Press. I've got a couple of webpages i feel i really should have done already, but i haven't even really started. It's not going to be a huge project, but i just can't seem to find the ambition to get the ball rolling. As you may have noticed today's blog entry it quite large due to the fact that i h ave approximately two hours to kill before my next class, I probably should have just gone back to the dorm, but for some reason i thought it better to just kill sometime in the classroom and university union, I now know that two hours is a long time. Also, I realize that fifty percent of the time I don't capitalize the word "I", i just don't really give a damn about it here on this blog, these are quick casual entries and if the whole bastardization of grammar i show irritates you that damn much, go fuck off. Sorry, a hint of hostility please take no offense. Well in my irritated little spurt there i forgot what else i was going to say... still got nothing so i guess i'll wrap things up. Laters.

Monday, February 23, 2004
Well so much for updating every day or week, been about a month now. Alot of little stuff happening, I'm waiting for my self promotional resume type brochures to get done printing. They should be ready to roll by tommorow, then I'll start sending them out, I have twenty six addresses right now, and i'm not content as of yet, so the St. Louis area should be heavily saturated with them, a good thing i hope. I've gotten my mac and all neccesary components to enhance it. I love it, borrowed some software as well. On the musical front I recorded a rough version of a song called Falling from grace again. I'm not completely happy with it, but it's still a work in progress. I haven't had any time to do anything musically, college is keeping my damned busy and I'm starting to get some independant design projects in, so that'll eat up my time. In two weeks i'll be heading to california with my girlfriend for a week...spring break. Being as thought i've never flown before i'm more than a little aprehensive and i just want to get the flying business out of the way. Should be fun. Another week of school is here and i'm sure i'll have some miscellaneous projects that will eat into the whole job searching thing, as well as individual projects. I'm pretty stressed right now with about five different people asking me all the questions about what if i don't get a job in st.louis, how will i afford the cost of living, what if everything doesn't work out. Yeah this is probably the most stressfull time of my life yet. I'm just trying to take it day by day so i don't go insane. These people must think that i've never thought about all the what ifs......truth is yeah i don't have any answers for all the what ifs, but on the same account i'm busting my ass trying to ensure that it doesn't come to that. The idea of the real world and the rest of my life is one really scary thing, what i wouldn't give for another couple years of college, all you lower classmen have it damned good right now. The real world is one scary beast. Till next time.
