      This week I realized that I need to find a new job, so I'm gonna have some business cards printed and send it out along with my resume to all of the advertising, graphic, and print companies that I'd like to work for. As much as I'd like to, I can't keep staying up until 5am playing socom the rest of my life.
      I went and saw two movies this week. It's been awhile. Anyway, saw X-Men2 and Identity. I recommend Identity. It's so messed up, it's awesome.
      Holy shit, someone please sign Tamyra Gray. Go to her website and listen to her sing "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston. I still believe she should have won the first American Idol competition. Kelly Clarkson's all right, but she's no Tamyra. If I had the money, I'd start a record company just to try and get Tamyra to sign. She would be all I need to be successful.
      One thing I would like to do right now if I wanted to die. Walk around Vancouver wearing a Minnesota Wild Jersey. How do you spell loser? C-L-O-U-T-I-E-R. Haha. He sucks ass. A backup goaltender at best. It's too bad the Wild are gonna be knocked out by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
      I want some beer. Later.


Back in the day. 05.02.03 | 3:40PM

      I was talking to my friend Karen the other day and we came to the conclusion that I am going through school withdraws. "Harsh" I say. I'll be the first to admit that I loved school. I loved hanging out with my friends every day. I didn't realize graduation was approaching so quickly or else I would have done more with them. I say I'm gonna keep in touch but I also said that in high school and I hang out with none of my high school friends. Well I see couple of them at my house once in a while only because they're now my little sisters friends. My sisters even dating one of them. But that's not why we're here. I wish we would have done more as a group, but it's my own fault. Everytime I invite them out for beer and wings, I always cancel. I'm starting to believe they made the movie Van Wilder about me. I swear. I should just go to school for the rest of my life.
      Have you met my new *cough* girlfriend? Haha. See ya


Graduate for hire. 04.22.03 | 3:10PM

      We're into final exam week and I'm kinda scared. Not of the exams, but scared of graduating school. I think I lack the confidence to really be aggressive when I'm pursuing a potential job. Plus I don't want to go into a new job and have no idea what I'm doing. I don't want to make myself or the school look bad. Another thing I'm scared of is what if I don't find the right job? Because I know I'm a picky person. I'll keep an open mind if there's a job I'm not too keen on but it offers me the opportunity to get to where I want to be. A graphic designer/typesetter/pre-press operator. My goal is to ultimately start my own company. Hopefully within 5-10 years. But for now, I'll be drinking my stress away at my graduation party this coming friday at the Roadhouse. The location wasn't my idea but they serve my beer there. Mmmm, Stella.
      I'd like to learn flash and more webdesign to better my chance of getting a good job. It's no guarantee but at least it'll add more to my resume.
      I wanna do this and this.
      Everyone should listen to Bring Me Back to Life by Evanescence. Their lead singer, Amy Lee, has an amazing voice. But she's no Michelle Branch.
      By the way, don't click on my projects link yet. I haven't decided how I want my portfolio done, but I'm working on it.
      I forgot to mention. There is this job opportunity for me. It's the ideal job. It's at a small company offering a typesetting position. They do graphic designs but don't have much success with them. That's where I come in. This is rare because most companies only look for press operators out of school. I've yet to see a company post a opening for designers with no work experience. So I thought this was perfect when I read the email. One PROBLEM! And it's a big one. I'd have to move to Cranbrook, British Columbia. What's up with that? I think I should ask them to relocate for me. Ha.
      I'm out. Adios.


Miss Me?...Of course you did, you're all so transparent. 03.25.03 | 5:58PM

      I know, I know. It's been awhile since I've last updated this site, but I've been really busy the past 3-4 months with school. Good news! I'm graduating in less than a month. Nervous? Nah, why should I be? I mean, so what if I'm afraid of 'growing up' and I'm not completely confident in the skills I've obtained over the past two years? I think I'll do just fine. Should I break down (not likely), I know I have great instructors and friends who I can call for some help with the industry.
      It's unfortunate that after graduation, I probably won't be seeing some of the friends I've made over the years here at s.a.i.t., hopefully I'll be able to keep in touch with everyone, if only through the printing industry. I'm such a sap.
      Anyway, I'm gonna go play some Socom. The game is like a drug. If you have the playstation 2, it's a must buy. If you don't have the PS2 (yes, I've heard there's people like that), here's your reason to buy one.
      Hopefully the page works.
