Do you know what would be the BEST thing ever!

Mon May 25, 2009, 10:20 AM
Having all your friends open up their own creative companines, and having everyone work under one roof (a very big roof of course). We were talking about this the other day, and like, that would seriously be the best, most awesome thing ever. Most of my friends work in the creative industry anyway so imagine that. fashion designers, architects, musicians, graphic designers, photographers and film makers all in one building. I think it would be freakin awesome! So yeah, life goal soughted.

(PS: i havent written a journal in a while, so this one is kinda long.)
Anyway, the last month has been pretty interesting. Lets see....

:bulletred:I've made like a gazillion new friends,who are all super rad, creative, beautiful and inspiring, which is nice :aww:
:bulletred: I finally got my camera back, which I couldnt afford to pick up until like 5 days ago.
:bulletred: A client owes me R7000 (approx 700$), which is not very nice of him.
:bulletred: I kissed my friend (ouch)...she then passed out and I threw up in the bathroom. Everythings cool though, and were still friendly friends.
:bulletred: Myself and 2 friends have officially opened our own design studio. But, more on that once the company actually takes off and the brand is completed. But yip, im uber excited about quitting my job!

I think getting this design company to work is the most important thing in my life though.sooooo :fingerscrossed: I might even hire you one day ;)

-------------------------------------------

oh, but I learnt something very, very important :nod: And I promise, this will make each and everyone of you a lot happier + more creative and better at whatever you do. its simple. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT INSPIRE YOU and I quote "Inspiration is not a moment in which you discover something new. Rather, its a moment when you recover something of yourself..."

Think about it, alot of us did our most creative work when we were at university. Perhaps, not as technically savvy as we are now (or the best), but creatively, our minds were open with possibility - ten fold. Why? its all about people and environment, perhaps the challenge even. Im not saying make brand new friends, just hang out with some other people, or person, or perhaps make a phone call once a week, so now and then, to someone and get a bit of yourself back. Monotony will kill you, thats all. Be around people that challenge you. kay! :aww: and dont blame your job.

oh oh oh oh, best song ever! Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie...I only got the new(ish) album last week so bare with my excitement. The video is freakin, beyond rad, so be sure to check it on the Y-Tube. Heres the second verse, which is so beautiful I wish I wrote it myself.


"We bought some wine and some papercups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
On a hill.

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
And she laughed and danced through the field of graves
There I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright,
Would be alright"


.......yeah, not as awesome if you jutst read it, so go give it a listen.

and :w00t: winter is here. YAY! big buttoned over coats, hugs, food and synthesizers. GOD!!! I really want a synthesizer -- a MicroKorg to be exact. woooooooooooo, long journal. hahah, I wonder if anyone will read it til' the end, especially the last three words.

I love you. :heart:
