Moving On and Moving In
Mood: Fighting
Music: "Row Your Boat" in C-Major Blues (me playing on the harmonica)
Yep... after realizing that I am being confined by the limited features of Friendster Blogs, I finally decided to create a Blogger account so I could say "good riddance" to my old blog.
My situation is getting better now. As I may have written in my old blog: http://caitiff.blogs.friendster.com/seize_the_night, being jobless is getting to me. But the future is looking bright now that I'm applying for an Editorial Assistant job at a magazine. And it's going pretty well, too. I was just recently asked to submit some of my sample works so now I'm hoping for an interview.
I'm still not completely out of the woods though. I'm still being haunted by feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness and incompetence, but I'll never let that stop me. I'll keep on fighting by practicing my skills so that I could transcend my slump and become a great artist. Seems that the teachings of the great Kensei, Musashi Miyamoto, are finally being absorbed by my spirit.
In light of the lessons I learned from Go Rin No Sho, I've decided to learn another art: playing the harmonica. I don't know, I just suddenly found myself stepping into a music store and ended up purchasing a 10-Hole Diatonic C Harmonica out of impulse. Now I can't stop studying how to play it. I always carry it with me no matter where I go, practicing and practicing, trying to play along every beat I could hear. I hope this doesn't become an obsession though.

When life gives you lemons, modify their DNA and make super lemons.

Seriously speaking, take it from Confucius: It doesn't matter how slowly you go so long as you dont stop.
Let go. Hold on. Wait.
:-)
Thanks very much.
I will never stop. I will rest, yes. But never stop.
good luck BJ :) keep on fighting! the war isn't over yet! :) hugs
sounds like playing the harmonica not being an obsession's kind of a wee bit late, doncha think? ^_~
hey, i'm in a slump myself. i can draw for my job, no problem. but i'm having a very hard time drawing for myself. i've run out of ideas and themes and stuff. and i can't seem to draw properly anymore. but i'm not going to let that stop me either. ace gave me a different way of looking at it: these little slumps are a way of keeping our arrogance in check, so we don't get overconfident. so, i guess we just take it in stride and keep moving. ^_^
good luck with the job, and i hope you get the one you love. -hugs!-
