Time Trollop?

So lately I've been doing some stuff with my music. However, one giant blimp on the radar of my future is work. A blip* I'm sure is not exclusive to me as you can't play music without being alive, and you can't live without money. Thus: work. 

At the risk of being a downer, I get a little sadder every day I have to trek 30-60 minutes to San Bernardino, on a drive that gets progressively more depressing, to sell 9 hours of my life:

I share an office with one person and I mostly sit here and inadvertently avoid being terribly proactive. Which I'm not proud of. And of course, like I'm sure is true in any workplace, lots of pettiness and gossip is also taking a toll on me. 

On a more positive note...I'm trying to assess my options and obtain a different source of income. Perhaps one with a more fulfilling or interesting environment. If nothing else, something that has a change of scenery (aka geographically in the opposite direction of where I am...or in many directions). 

If you have any job ideas/leads or aspirations to join a traveling circus with me, please do let me know :)

*Yes, that used to say "blimp".

home away from home...

So, I have officially moved out. My apartment complex is perfect, my room is HUGE (I mean enormous), I have the best roommate ever (my sister) and it's close to home. 

...but it's way harder than I thought! It's really weird not living with my parents. It's strangely surreal. I know I did it because I had to eventually and I wanted to ease into it. It was the right thing to do...but it feels unnecessary from this new perspective. So much work and extra money just to feel weird and kind of alone. We'll see if I'm really ready for the responsibility. Not to mention, I don't get to see these guys when I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning:

:(!

Trying to stay positive...we've acquired some pretty cool stuff and will probably start painting this week. I have so much extra space in my room I'm going to be able to set up a permanent mic for recording and even get a couch! I've got some hot air balloon collectible things and am going to try and do a garden manor/topiary/alice in wonderland kind of feel. Gotta keep busy. Here are some of my inspirations and possible accent wall colors:
