Creative Edge

Current longing: To put this creative edge to work

When a sword is used too much over t it becomes blunt and less effective. Sure it can still do its job but to the same degree? No. Every now and then it needs to be refiled and sharpened, perhaps even improved upon from its original form. That’s how I feel I have been in the past few months. Well sorta, its the best analogie that I could come up with.

I really haven’t felt myself for the past few months, at the time I related it to being several things. I felt so empty and transparent. This continued on for a few months with varying degrees of strength(I guess). I’ve lacked a certain spark in me. This would have been due to many many circumstances that have piled up. It can be noted by my lack of wit and sharpness, my dreary state and lack of ambition.

As I mentioned on my dA intro I have 4 passions. You could say that I have lost some of the passion. I just lost that keenness. Losing ones ambitions losses ones self. So it would explain why I haven’t felt myself.

My descriptive attitude is a personal strength of mine. A talent of which I believe to be born with. You can tell that it hasn’t been there in my blog writing, lack of forum activity etc.

After conversing these feelings to my brother, I feel(thanks to him) revived. Which is good.

Anyways to my fabulous news. I have decided what to pursue in life, well what to do for my Uni course. But firstly some background. I did some research into courses available. To be honest there wasn’t much that interested me. I hate all of this engineering stuff so I didn’t wanna choose that. In the end I chose 2 courses that interested me, one was engineering believe it or not. It was Civil engineering, I think that it requires chemistry as assumed knowledge which is bad. The other one was Computing and Multimedia. Ah mess that…I’m thinking of getting into graphics as a career. Programming wasn’t for me, Chinese doesn’t offer enough benefits, so I guess this is it. I have always been into art, I love digital art and would love to get better at it. There’s plenty of job opportunity and people to meet. Quite good money as well. I can’t see why not. The only downfall is that I need plenty of practice at it. But I have ample time for that.

So over the past few days I have been working on trying some new techniques. I guess from here I just flourish in everything and also try and be a bit more +ve on life. I’m still working on my portfolio/blog site. If anyone knows much about good wordpress image plugins then give me a yell would ya.

On a final note RIP Mtey.com the best Jamiroquai resource on the web.

Best entry I have wrote in ages

Love ya’
