So I lost my job and place to stay yesterday. Instead of bumming out and doing my fair share of bawling about how pitiful life is, I've decided to stay positive.
And it worked. Just a half an hour ago, my friend told me of a tiny house he's going to rent out. It has 2 bedrooms and he would appreciate the rent help, although the price is also tiny.
I'm thinking that this kind of set-up will be conducive with my career as an artist. I stopped by a printer in my neighborhood to talk prices. He could not give me any specific quotes, but I think he may want my business enough to give me an initial deal to get me as a loyal customer.
If I can make a good profit hawking my printed designs, I will not need to deal with such foolishness as a j.o.b.(even if I did get the initial money from it).
So I'll have even less time to blog and comment, but I am going to walk and spread some love when I can. Keep your chins up and if you lose your employment or home like me, at least you've got your life.

That's a great attitude, man. I'm sure it'll work out just fine!
ReplyDeleteIf it does, we shall all share in the spoils!
Deleteoh man i really need to work on staying positive I'm always getting down about something stupid. good luck with your future and your art :) keep us updated
ReplyDeleteWill do. I'm hoping there's an open signal somewhere around the new place. The rain has delayed the move.
DeleteThat was some serendipity right there. I'm glad life took another positive turn so quickly.
ReplyDeleteLife can be like the wind, changing at a moments notice.
DeleteTHings are looking up im glad but still sucks what happened to you.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but sucking is preferred to blowing by 9/10 dentists.
DeleteWHOOO, that's what I like to hear!
ReplyDeleteDo work, kid. Whether it be at an actual job, being artistic, gettin' a place to live ya GOTTA put in the hours.
Good to hear such good news and congratulations, m'man. We'll hold down the blogfort, just pop in when ya can.
Truth could be spoken no plainer. I will put in the man-hours needed to provide what I can for myself and loved ones.
DeleteVery true...great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the truth shall either set us free, or give us bonds that all covet.
DeleteAwesome hope it works out well!
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't, at least it will make for some great stories!
DeleteYeah. I should tell that to my brother.
ReplyDeleteHope all works out for you.
Thank you. I'll keep your brother in my most reverent of thoughts, for my little brother cannot benefit from such anymore.
DeleteSorry to hear that. But you arent alone, every single person had to face this, this kind of break from mundane life sometimes gives revelation and helps us make better decisions. I underwent this twice and I owe my happiness to the break. All the best.
ReplyDeleteYes, revolutions in the life are what shape us to be the people we are destined to be.
DeleteSorry about your bad luck, but congrats on your good luck! Chase your dreams, dude. :)
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciation for your empathy. I'll chase them until I finally catch them and make those gossamer strands of dream a reality!
DeleteGlad to hear that you're staying positive about the situation.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever it's worth, I suggest that you be careful about your level of stress and overall mental health because losing your job and finding a new place to live are really large life changes.
I will tread this thin layer of ice carefully, T. You have my humble gratitude for the advice.
DeleteGood luck with your journey man. I would love to hear more from you on your day to day life!
ReplyDeleteThe luck shall be expertly utilized, thank you. Since this is a 'random' blog, only day to day stuff that eclipses my wandering mind makes it here.
Deletecongrts for your good luck..its good to know :)
ReplyDeleteAnd shall it grow exponentially to be shared in kind with you and all of my glorious readers!
DeleteGood to see you have a good attitude about the situation. That's the most important thing!
ReplyDeleteI do believe the nail has been struck upon it's head with your statement. Thank you for your comments, Timothy.
Deletewell done. not many people could keep their chinu up like you did
ReplyDeleteand good luck with your art career
Bruce lee once did 50 on armed chin-ups. That is something that drives me to keep mine up. Thanks for the well=wishes!
DeleteGood luck on the designs!
ReplyDeleteI'll need it because my first foray into this arena is a contest. I'm to win a hundred bucks if I can outplace the competition with a digital rendition of a burger. If I can make someone salivate with the most fake looking meal, I can probably win. Thanks for the luck!
DeleteSorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok. It's better than ok, it's wonderiffic! Not really, but that's what I keep telling myself until it actually becomes so.
DeleteWow, way to be positive!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in a similar situation. Don't have a "real" job, but after a few months of being jobless, I've decided to pursue something I really DO have an interest in, and I'm teaching myself to become better in this new area. So, maybe everything happens for a reason?
I send you wishes of great success and fortune in your new calling. I've been pounding out the french and chinese lessons too.
DeleteSorry to hear it, my friend. Really I am. But cheers on finding a new room so quickly and keeping with the forward thinking!
ReplyDelete's alright, my fellow champion of forward thinking. These times are no better for stepping upward as they are for propelling us towards success.
DeleteStaying positive is very important. I hope that you find a job soon. I'm glad you have a place to stay. Many of us have been there and understand.
