Dear Journal readers,

Has it really been a month and
a half since my last journal??

Sorry for my absence. It’s
been an interesting last
several weeks. Originally,
I didn’t want to post a new
journal until I had actually
secured a summer job. I
figured I couldn’t show my
‘face’, as it were, until I
accomplished that. Alas, I
have not. D8 I thought the
possibility of working for
Empire Theaters would work out,
but that didn’t amount to
anything. Just recently, I
had an interview for a Block-
buster job, and it seemed I
was a shoe-in, but now I’m
getting mixed messages from
them. I guess time will tell.
I just can’t believe it’s been
this hard. What nasty economic
times we live in.

However, that’s not to say I
haven’t been busy. I’ve been
taking this broadcasting course.
I’ve programmed and spoken on a
couple of online radio shows
already. If you’re so inclined,
you can tune into the next one
next Thursday at 1PM EST, at
[link]. ^^

Just this past week, the focus
was on creative voices, like
for cartoons and stuff. It was
quite fun. Hopefully, when I
complete this program at the
end of the summer, I’ll be able
to get work in this more
specialized area. I hope.

I’m also challenging a course
in Microbiology that will be
coming up in my Naturopathic
program this September. So,
there’s been some heavy studying
that I have to take care of too.
The exam is on August 10th!!
Gotta study in the summer. No
rest for the ever weary.... -_-;

In addition, I’ve been quite
obsessed with a certain social
movement that envisions a
better, more sustainable system,
that will be required for our
society to continue. Big ideas;
I highly recommend you check it
out at [link]
(orientation video). Check out the
two documentaries as well at [link].
If these speak to you, look into
other related movements such as
Cradle to Cradle, Open Source
Ecology, and EarthShips.

But I digress, I guess this is what
explains the title. The summer has
not quite been what I expected.
I’ve been neglecting my art, but
I will get back into it as soon
as I can.

SPEAKING of art, it was actually
the local DA World Tour gathering
that has rekindled my enthusiasm.
They were present in Toronto today,
and I was there with about a
hundred other Deviantart goers. ^_^


Here is our group photo. Follow the arrow and that's me. ^^


Overall, it was a very pleasant experience
this afternoon. I met some great fellow
deviants. It was great to connect with
this community in a more personal way, I
guess.

One last thing. I recently commissioned
to draw a couple of my
characters. It turned out rather well. ^^



Anyway, that'll do for now. Good night
all.
