job

once i get out of this job, this stinking dead end associate potbelly job, i’m going to be marking this as complete. in all other areas of my life i am happy. i am happy with myself and who i have become, except when i’m at work. I know Potbelly isn’t your typical corporation, but i am still working for the Man. its the only part of me that hasn’t given in to all that is underground/alternative/diy. i’ve taken myself off all mailing lists from companies that i don’t want to shop at anymore, i haven’t been to the mall since i left the burbs, i don’t want to go to go target anymore even. i’ve been scouring craigslist for everything that i need, i’m going to thrift stores and concerts for clothes from now on (for the most part lol but no more buckle or anything like that) i’m not going to supermarkets for groceries anymore. my fridge is bare at the moment because i still have a bit more research to do about local grocery before i get out there, and i have to find somewhere on the blue line i can go (which shouldn’t be too hard), so i can stop on my way home from classes and stuff.

so job that i love = perfect.



get an e-cigarette
blu

blu cigs. black style. premium pack starter kit. vanilla flavored cartridges. $80 plus shipping. mine asap. its an investment. in chicago, i’ll pay $80 for 8 packs of cigarettes. thats like 3-4 weeks on my habit. even less sometimes :/ i just need to have the money upfront….



build a better art portfolio (read all 7 entries…)
i'm back

this is going to come along quickly in the next six months. i already have a few things from this past semester, but now i’m actually working on personal stuff. i have so many ideas floating around in my head, i don’t know when i’m going to have time to finish everything. i’m very anxious to get back to chicago to start working. i’ve even been straying away from the digital stuff recently, getting back to my roots. i guess thats a good place to be when you’re starting over again huh? its the reinvention of my former self, and it has to start at the beginning.
