Me.

winter headphonesIt was sometime in the nth month that I realized that I could not longer consider myself as out of workamongst my peers. I am not one of them. I am now one of the many who struggle to find rewarding and paying work in any field where your skills are of assistance. It's not a career path, it's a way of life.

Two years.

Two years in Toronto, in retail, in the same apartment, in the same bedroom, using the same computer room, wearing the same flavour-saver, carrying the same shoulder bag, walking the same shoes, walking the same paths of comics and gaming stores, blogging the same blog. Drinking the same beer.
