Positivity

Splitting the hustle has proved to be a success so far. I'm putting a lot of eggs in the music basket, recording cover after cover after cover after cover after cover after...you get the picture...but at the same time I feel a bit more fulfilled in this whole job-hunt situation. Sure there's still the odd day where I break down and ask "why oh WHY is it taking this damn long." But I'm doing better than before...I'm getting interviews, I'm making calls, I'm networking a little bit more...TRYING to put myself out there and trying not to be picky. I do have another temp gig lined up for November through January, and this one seems far more fun and interesting than the last. That means that if worst comes to worse, I'll at least have some money for the holidays, which is a HUUGE weight off my shoulders because as we all know, the holidays can get pretty expensive.

But I'm still hustling, trying to find what I can find, and I feel good, more confident than before. Trying to stay on this positive kick...trying to make it much less of just a "kick" and much more of a permanent state of mind. I think my idea to keep focusing on the things I love (i.e. music) while I'm not looking for a job is really helping to keep me afloat. It's keeping that feeling of fulfillment for me, so I take that positive attitude to other ventures, whatever they may be. The last few months have been rough, but I can't lie folks, I think it's been a pretty good year. I graduated from what will hopefully be my last stint in post-secondary education, I celebrated two wonderful years with my amazing girlfriend, I wrote a shitload of new songs, working on some newer music projects and I am steadily working toward my goal of recording another CD...

Yeah man...it's been alright...and I'm gonna do my very best to make sure that this year ends with a bang.

Cheers,
