What I've Been Up To

"Having money's not everything, Not having it is." - Ye

About two Tuesdays ago, I was fired from my job. I don't find it necessary to go into details, but, let's just say it wasn't my fault (RACIST!) and leave it at that... I am asking myself: How do I cope with losing a job that kind of paid my bills, but, made me miserable? I REJOICE! I'm just glad it's over...
While being walked out of the office, I knew that I had to change my outlook and habits on a lot of things. Being a natural crybaby, I have to assure myself that I will be okay. I need to figure out what I want to gain from this current position in my life.
But, more urgently, how can I stack paper? Well, lucky for me, I am an infinitely creative person. How do I use that gift for money? or even just to be happy in my situation? For money's sake, I've decided to do the following:
  • Look for work (duh!)-Some people don't know how to look for work. I, on the other hand, do. Mom seh "Looking for a job should be your full time job." I spend about 4 hours sending out my resume and another 3 or so on the street.
  • Use my skills to make things people would want to buy, i.e. jewelry, t-shirts, writing, etc. Just maintain a constant hustle. The thing about this is: in order to profit off of making stuff you gotta have capital. I gotta wait to get the capital, but, when I do, I'm gonna be big! I'm working on t-shirts.... I'm gonna be the next Married to the Mob!
  • Write- My ultimate goal or career is to direct, not, write. I find myself being typecast as a writer and while I do love to write, it'd be better to get started with directing. Especially now, that I have the time (I gotta laugh at myself a little). I intend to write only because I think it will help me expand and grow creatively, in a lot of ways. I want to get my creative juices flowing... I gave all my paint and brushes away, so, I'll just write. Me revamping my blog will be my testament.
Now, is the time for me. I have stormed out my parents house (which I will definitely have to go back to), I'm posting this in a Barnes and Noble cafe with an empty belly and my cat crying in my jeep outside. I really have nowhere else to go, but, up!!! LET'S GET PAID!!!! Samples soon come.
