Let's see what other imaginative stories come out of this pic...

Perhaps Serge will see a blizzard at the laundry when we turn this fan on!!

Help Wanted

Can it be harder to look for a job?
I cannot fight with myself anymore, that's why I decided to annoy others who regularly visit my blog. Perhaps someone wants to leave some words of support.

Should I start a fundraising event in order to save an artist from starvation?

I lost the count of how many resumes I have printed, emails I have sent and applications I have filled. Obviously I started with my 'dream' jobs, hoping to practice my skills and impress others with my abilities in graphic design and photography. I still remember those sunny days of january were every day I could dream that my phone will ring with a job offer.

February arrived with an unexpected expense, after running a rental car over my laptop I had to buy another one ASAP. That hole in my budget has kept me counting bills instead of sheeps when I go to bed every night ever since.

I can see the month of march happily approaching at a supersonic speed, my dream jobs are far behind in the list, as everyday I apply to almost everything that is listed in the newspapers. Help wanted. Fax your resume. Email schedule preferences. No phone calls.

My fridge looks like a runway, yet everyday people find that I am a fascinating asset for their organizations and I get offers to volunteer all the time. Exactly what I need.

-"Type up to 60 wpm" - so I can type easily on this blog all my complains about a job quest
-"Bilingual" so I scream a loud "La mierda!!!" when I find out that someone with no skills but lots of contacts got one of my dream jobs.
-"Experience with Office and graphic design software" - ahhh... the good old times
-"B.F.A. in Visual Arts" - yes, I know. I should have listened to the grown-ups.
-"Currently a Master's student in Arts Administration" - Thank God! The scolarship keeps me alive!!

Hopefully the people I give as a reference hasn't been contacted for every application I have filled, otherwise soon I will start picking up phone numbers from the white pages. I believe there are things more frustrating in life than not finding any job at all... Perhaps all of them start with the same basics : an empty stomach.

You are right, I am in an unstoppable winging-mode.

Spin that wheel!!!

one day at the laundry

Lo importante es la personalidad!

how the screen of my laptop looks like after running a car on top of it

el fin del silencio

Saludos a mis queridos lectores,

Se preguntaran quienes frequentan mi sitio ¿Qué es lo que está pasando?!

Todo comenzo en una noche de invierno. Cuando mi vuelo de Tallahassee tocó Austin, corí con todas mis maletas al counter del alquiler del auto (o coche como se dice en la tierra de mis mas fieles fans) porque por la mañana casi pierdo el vuelo, lo que por suerte me evito esperar en el carrusel. Siempre hay algo bueno que sale de cosas inesperadas... ahem.

Al recibir mi ´nave´ busque la I-35 al norte, todo iba saliendo de acuerdo a mis planes y pronto veria a una amiga que hacía unos nueve años no veía. -Dejé mis CDs!! - pensé, pero puedo asegurar que puedo cantar y al menos tararear los top 5 en R&B. Pague un buen precio. Luego de unas interesantes 4 horas de viaje y música llegue donde Vero quien junto a su esposo me recibieron con los brazos abiertos.

Luego de interminables horas de charla y risa salí a mi ´lancha´ (mi carro salió mas grande de lo que pensaba) a recoger mis maletas. Las saque del baul y procedi a parquear (me late que este verbo es un colombianismo) el carro propiamente para evitar golpes por terceros. Sentí que algo no andaba bien y cuando sali a revisar qué sucedía... Mi computador portátil yacía debajo de una de las llantas del carro de alquiler...

Es esa la razón por la cual no he vuelto a publicar mis fotos, mi computador a quien bauticé Nomada desde el primer día ha perdido su pantalla. Pero como cosas buenas suelen salir de lo inesperado, el disco duro está intacto. Asi que podré recuperar la información que en el momento se encuentra en la mente dormida de Nomada. Podrán ver el día y hora que todo vuelva a la normalidad cuando la primera foto aparezca en pantalla... por ahora comentarios al aire apareceran en este canal.
