Cold&Bold

Hello all, as you know I've been looking for a job with some ferocity in the past few weeks
Well anyway this last week and a bit has been all about interviews , good news is I think I've struck something (fingers crossed , don't want to jinx it though technically I don't believe in those things) With that said , my latest opportunities are all pretty awesome , there's the social media internship though it pays poorly it pays and its something I love.

In other news , I'm somewhat broke but not quite at the gnawing- at- tree- branches broke stage yet . When I get to that point loyal reader , you will be the first to know I will have stopped writing in English and started babbling about the end of all things. James Lefebvre suggested I start a jam fund on my blog , If I don't get a job soon that is what i feel I shall do . though it may make me a charity case , straw berry jam is worth every moment of it.

ANYWAY .

The situation between crazy roommate and landlady has come to a standstill , it is quiet too quiet to be honest , and I'm pretty sure it's going to become a spy versus spy situation up in this house poisonings and all that madness .

Some things I've discovered in the past few weeks

My roommate sleepwalks - I had clean dishes in the fridge to prove it -Also he is a loud sleep walker.

That if I play videogames for more then two hours I have strange dreams. Last night I was a wizard . it was brilliant , not the harry potter kind though more like a traditional one.

Max the what ?

So I've been scurrying to find a new place in the last couple weeks but well, it hasn't been easy.

There have been 3 major locations that I've been Interested in and needless to say

- Living with one of my friends here - North York - Problem ? the landlord might want it for storage

-Nice people on Bloor - A bit more expensive though but only by a little bit.

- Cool apartment on Queen above a cafe - On queen - excellent location , though the room was small , guess it had been taken since the posters didn't respond to me. mostly mentioning this to give you the image of a version of me lives above a cafe: paints , Speaks French , drinks fine wine and dresses like a mime. though who am I kidding ? I can barley finger paint :) i guess this is the french half of me that's coming out.

- I could move back to Windsor then out of the city in the new year. Just a thought . I dont know yet.

Anyway onto the continuation of the drama between my roommate and landlady . Apparently there is going to be a hearing on the 25th , I cannot make this insanity up. My jaw has officially hit the floor , I mean seriously ? court ? If I would have known this was going to happen well , I would have cleared off before the guns started firing so to speak.

Now that that's all out of the way , I'm going to have to sadly inform you my medicine testing career is dead in the water . It's too bad , maybe I'm just not qualified enough meh, it happens.

But thankfully I'm still qualified for " max the mutt animation school"
Disclaimer : instead of a diploma they may just laugh at you when graduating.

Smores and Wars .

It's been another interesting week for me and thanks to the violation of a fire code of some sort I have to move out by the end of the month.

As usual I'm going to make this blog about me , but obviously it’s also about all the people that have fought for my ability to write and live anyway I choose . So thank you veterans for helping me continue to enjoy these things.

So anyway onto how things got the way they are. I think it's pretty obvious I don't get along with one of my roommates (Specifically the one I insinuated might be a murderer) and I know it's my landlady’s fault for not following all the codes (makes sense) but having to move again really really is not my cup of tea. I did not exactly sign off on being a nomad moving from place to place, I can’t wait to get a job again and gain a little stability.

Enough of me being sombre . I'm still looking for work and I’m starting to branch out into EVERYTHING , because I might as well have fun while trying to get my career in order. Obviously I need it because my life has been a little insane lately and I might as well amass amusing experiences to write about so I can get better at them.

I am qualified for ALL OF THEM.

MUHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

Anyway, I have had two employment related interviews in the last week so I seriously hope I hear from their place soon. Ether of these opportunities would help prepare me for the future (yes that includes Best Buy). I think I’ll just go with the flow for now as all I really want is a job that would make me happy. That will take some time.

However, considering my career path still feels like it’s on a very advertising trajectory I'd love to end up at OMD. OMD has an excellent reputation as a media agency and I think I’d make quite the planner ( as a media planning assistant I would not be calling all the shots and I would be doing quite a bit of learning but does any recent grad call the shots ? no ).

If my blogs recently tell you I’m unsure as to what I want to be it’s because I am. I have so many things floating around in my head I just need to get out and they are for the most part creative endeavours, it’s weird that I never desired to be in creative but I think that’s where I fit. Tragic really , Since I Don't have a portfolio and just want a respectable office job .Oh well, if it takes getting out of school and a little bit of living to fully realize where I want to be so be it. Other things im passionate about are digital and social media marketing but heck thats going to take some time to mature and really become a respected category of course most of the agencies know this by now and just consider it a cog in a cohesive machine instead of pointing to some guy and saying "he handles digital" which does not amount to much of a strategy at all.

The Stranger Ranger

Well last night was one of the best adventures I've had for less than 20$ and I’ll tell you strangers can be awesome. For instance my friend had a comedy night and tickets were 6$ but since Absolute comedy is reserved seating I was pretty screwed . However a group of people I didn’t know at all adopted me for the night pretty much.These strangers turned out to be pretty cool I mean other then the fact that I didn't always know what they were referring to (as happens with groups of strangers).

And no , I never learned not to talk to strangers and yes , I know how bad that is. I've actually had alot of positive stranger related experiences one day I might share a few with ya'll but some highlights were : meeting a lady who ran a copy writing company , getting a sand which from a nice lady when I was still making trips to and from Ottawa and getting something for my cold from another person.

With that said i'm a pretty good judge of character , I'd like to think i can pick a serial killer out of a lineup , and if not at least narrow down the suspects.. hmmm maybe I'll be a detective .. it will be awesome but first I need a dark back story , oh and a fedora... I'll get moving on that but for now , a panel for your entertainment.

Pictured: it was a dark and stormy night.

As for the show itself , my friend was pretty great on stage and it was a mostly consistent night . I hadn't been out in awhile so it was good to be back .

As I sit here typing my crazy possible axe murderer roommate is arguing with my landlady. I don't find this to be a major issue but it does make for awkward moments , their passive aggressive battles are coming to a head , this is rapidly escalating to war . For instance I woke up to my locks being changed but to be more descriptive my locks were actually being taken out , gone , deleted . Why ? My semi crazy roommate called in saying the place was a fire hazard , then of course I had to hear them argue all night.

My roomate wrote in crazy:

"stop being cheap and fix it , you have more problems coming"

I'm still working on the job situation of course , Next week I will be dropping by OMD and see if I can rain awesomeness on them therefore convincing them to make me a Media Assistant. Of course i got my mind on as many opportunities as possible.

Food situation : Lately, I’ve been eating can be described as mystery munchies or “whatever I can find in a cupboard and mixing it together”
