never, never again will i trade my personal happiness for an income. you begin something that you're not sure about; most likely it'll end up exactly where it started - a personal fail. that's pretty much where my last job has brought me. to this point of quitting just so i can follow my heart. i'm glad i hated it so much that i learned this. i'd probably be too stubborn to listen to anyone who told me this.
so, i'm leaving a graphics and marketing position, and doing what? no job lined up, no income, but that's perfectly okay. when it comes to (hopefully) living for the next 60 years, not knowing what my income will be for a month or two won't make me broke for life. i've got plans. and the risk involved in these plans is greater than settling for some horrible 9 to 5 in an A/C pumped box for the next 40 years. *shudders*
SUBurban (or is it subURBAN?); a brand that started out of a few things - mine and angela's hate for suburbia and corporate architecture firms. then, we grew out of the angst, and developed the brand from a negative theme to a more positive theme - the improvement of the urban environment, sustainability, and how much people would just be happier in a better-designed world. we will graphically and artistically convey all of these themes and hopefully change the world.
freelancing. updating my portfolio. a friend's guerilla marketing firm. a few design competitions. even bowling tournaments. think i'd rather fight for the dough than get a comfy paycheck. and i'd definitely rather make a difference than be in an office.
