I am still looking for a job, there are less and less offers. That is a total bummer.
On the other side I am looking forward to start a couple of courses to catch up with technology.
Apparently it is my weak point at the moment, in my field you must keep up to date often.
I broke up with my BF last week, no drama or fight, just a conversation between adults.
I am feeling less stressed now and will be able to focus more the aftermentioned topics.

Life have different stages, like stairs where we go up and down, one by one.
Well, I feel I am going up the stairs and a change in life is coming.
It seem to come at a quiet pace, though. So I have to arm myself with patience.
Funny, I always felt when changes have come into my life, somehow.

I Read an article that faghatesgods wrote on 'A Bear's life' : The most stressfull things in life are: Divorce, Moving and Unemployment. This year i done them all. So i wonder What's next?

I finally got the response for the job offer I was waiting for. Apparentelly they find that I am a really good candidate. Anyway, I didn't got thejob. Still waiting from other companies.


p.s.
I am listening to The Cure again, if I continue this may not be a good sign

Haven't got any news from the job interviews I've done.
Am I asking for too much money?
Do they need someone with better technical skills?
Are they still deliberating on who will get the job?
The worst part is that if they don't call back I won't know.
I just feel tired of making efforts and feel like giving up.

Lately a lot of people have been questioning about getting the flu shot or not. Others believe that it is just a scam from pharmaceuticals, and that the gouvernment is involved too.

I just read a post by wooferstl where he talks about serving jellybeans with the help of a spoon into a small cup. I don't know if we are getting too cautious about the flu, but his post made me think if we need to avoid touching anything that has been touched by other people, like door knobs, pencils and pens, money, or for that matter imagine going out to a bar, or a dance floor.

Where should we stop then?

I can not believe how stupid people can be when I watched this.
It is really way out of line, why doing such thing? is their reason valid?

Lately I've been wondering if I should continue my relationship with my BF, like all relationships there are ups and downs, it is important to balance both sides and see if it is worth it to go on.

Telling it all here will be gossip, I will just say that since the beginning I noticed that he was 'different', by many reasons, he has a dark sense of humour and it is not too social.  He is a very talented artist, and has won a music award for his first album. On the other hand he is often centered on himself. A great thing is that we share the same passion for music and culture. A bad thing will be that he is not romantic, and has a hard time dealing with love, while I am a romantic guy and I appreciate those small details that make a relationship grow everyday. He is not a bad guy, and will never hurt a fly. This is his first serious relationship, which leads me to say that we have an age difference of more than 10 years, and often it shows.

We have talked about it, and he has been making progress, putting efforts everyday, maybe so much that it shows that it is not a natural thing. He even started to pat me as a pet. He asked me if it was ok, so I answered that if it doesn't come out naturally, then he should do it if it comes from the inside, when he really feels it. I am just making a lot of thinking.

Pitchfork has an interesting article about it, where they explain how the way music used to be sold and promoted, just look back and you will see that the reality is different now than a few years back. Like they say:

How did you find out that your favorite band had a new album coming out? Sure, the few of us with fast enough internet connections might have read about it online, but it's more likely that you read about it in a magazine, saw a poster at your local record store, or maybe, maybe heard about it from MTV News.

These days, that magazine has probably folded, your local record store is now a Best Buy, and MTV just wants to show you "Hills" spin-offs. You're going to find out about that album from a music news blog or site, or even from the band themselves, via their own web portal or Twitter. And you're probably going to end up hearing that album much, much sooner than the band intended, thanks to a leak.

I've Been working on illustrations and logos this past few days. I noticed that my portfolio has some items that are from 2002 or even 2000, that seem outdated and don't go with the design vibe that I am in right now. Also as I am looking to get a job in a major Toy company, or maybe a big corporation such as Lotto Québec or SAQ, I need to present a decent portfolio, mine is fine, but I want it to shine, so here I am working on that.

I do some illustrations for 'A Bear's Life' and am planning on doing the same for other magazines. Also, I learned that iStock is looking forward to open a logo service, I am revamping logos that didn't sell in the past, and doing new illustrations for them too, so this will help in all this ways.

Pierre and Jerome played wednesday with Jay Jay Johanson. I found it great !

I noticed that lately I was spending a lot of time on Facebook, even if I was cathcing up from friends from everywhere. I noticed that at a certain point the content wasn't of good quality, so first I deactivated the e-mail notifications, and I will prefer to use it for a close circle of friends. The ones that really have more to say than 'I just ate ice cream and will soon go to bed'

Last July I list my job. I took it easy for a couple of weeks, and concentrated on painting. Got a couple of interviews that didn't lead to something interesting. So now I also decided to go to the library and work from there. Since I have a lot to do for my job search, and working from home is full of distractions. I will also go back to do some illustrations.

I was very happy to meet in person one of my LJ friends. We had the time to chat. And the conversation made me realize that I have been away from LJ for quite a bit. I will like to start posting again and catch up with friends here. I will.

In case Brad hasn't see it.

Check it out:

This week hasn't been good for me.

I received a note telling me that I needed to renew my car plates. $260 !
My cat got hurt in the street, he is now at the Veterinary and he needs an operation. $ 642 !!!
I also got a parking ticket at my boyfriends house. $42 !

I lost my job two weeks ago and I still don't have a job.

A Good thing is that my ex gave me $500 to help me out. That was so kind of him.
