To say I'm frustrated would be an understatement. WTF? When did this area get so devoid of the need for graphic designers? When did employers decide it was OK to pay $10–12/hr. for the ones they do need? Even the listings on Craigslist for people offering services is getting longer. That tells me there are more and more unemployed designers trying to pimp their services freelance. I wish I could move away from here—go someplace where the cost of living is lower and graphic designer jobs are plentiful. If we didn't have this stupid mobile home tying us down and Marcus hadn't just gotten a new job, I'd seriously consider leaving.

I am always coming across fonts that I want to purchase in the future (when I have money), but I'm always losing the scraps of paper that I write them on or forgetting what they look like and why I wanted them. Today I am making a new category here specifically with the intent of organizing my font desires. Sorry, it's just for me. I'll try to write a real post later this evening.
First up:
RAVIE
I came across this font when I was working at the screen printer.

OK, so here's my horoscope from this morning:
The universe is trying to give me signs.

I found the following that somebody gave me back when I was going to Platt. As I'm still trying to rid myself of crap, I thought I'd post this here digitally so I could get rid of the paper.
The Four Agreements
- Be Impeccable with Your Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
- Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
- Don't Make Assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
- Always Do Your Best.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

What do I want to do with my life? This morning, I'm not so sure. Why can't I be happy with a 9-5 Monday-Friday gig? What is it about me that knows I can achieve more, I just can't figure out how? Why can't I zero in on one thing and get really awesomely good at it instead of having many interests, but am only ok at all of them? Why can't I believe in a god or higher power?
