Some Updates

Sat Jun 2, 2012, 8:27 AM


Yes, I know, keep changing my layout. This one is nice, right? I didn't design it, but the person who did seems to have done an excellent job. It's simple and clean. Anyways...

Updates on me? I'm in a rut. I can't seem to get the muse to play. It's not that I haven't been working on things, is just no motivation or interest to stay with one thing at a time. I've been doing a lot of cleaning up in my mock of a studio. To add to this, I think I may have broken my camera. :no: I'm waiting for a camera to computer replacement cord to get here so I can see if it's a simple firmware update. I hope that's all it takes.

On the positive side? I've lost 30 lbs since moving to the south. I ALSO finally have a job interview next week. I really, really hope I get it. I think it might help me with my rut. It's a little out of my element, still in the field of engineering, but with more of a twist. I'll talk more about it after the interview. I am a bit nervous though because I lack biomechanics in my background. I got everything else covered. I hope this job doesn't prove to be too far over my head. But it does sound fun. A positive and enthusiastic attitude can always improve possibilities. It's also a research based position and I've ALWAYS wanted to work in the research field.

So, I'm in a rut, but I have positive things going on. So, I'm crossing my fingers :boogie:

Sorry about your camera and the rut. :( It's can be frustrating when your muse goes on a hiatus. I watched a video recently that was a lecture by John Cleese of Monty Python fame of all people. It was really interesting. He was talking about the creative process and he said that it's important to set aside time specifically to think about creative ideas. Not many people do that, we tend to just go about our day hoping that a creative idea will just pop into our heads. Some times that works, other times not.

But if you do something like, Saturday from 2:00 to 3:00 is creative idea time. Meaning at that time you don't take care of anything else, you just think about ideas of creativity. It's a discipline, meaning that it's difficult not to start thinking about other things you need to do, or thinking about problems, etc. But he says if you keep at it, you'll find that the creativity will start to flow. I haven't tried it yet, because at the moment I have a backlog of things to work on, but I really think that I should :)

Congratulations on the weight loss and the job interview, that's awesome. Sending some positive energy in hopes that works out for you :D

I've been trying to do that, but all I do is sit and stare. LOL It's starting to get depressing. :)
