Mi machina es mi mente

I've found it. The want, no the need to do it. Your suppose to have goals, dreams, aspirations. I've had more than I can imagine since I was kid. I've had really big ones like being an Astronaut or Colonizing Mars. Really fun ones like writer, photographer, rock star DJ. Really specific ones like partying at the playboy mansion at least once

i don't want to be the drone i've always sworn to myself i'd never be.

i'm finding myself in the same situation, hustling up and working almost a second full time job on small little projects that i can call my own.

i think my dream is to work for myself because well... i hate being subservient.

Self employment is the way to go. The american dream. How much you make is wholly reliant on how much work and how many shrewd decision you make. Not on how far up someones ass your nose is. I got that froma friend of the family. Even if your VP of huge successful international conglomerate you're still nothing unless you're the owner.

It's a division of responsibility. The designer is an advocate for the user. It's very commonplace in web projects now. There's a designer and a back end programmer. I'm a big usability and interaction geek. Just getting software to do what it's suppose to do is enough work for a programmer. Now that technology is becoming pervasive and in everything from toilet seats to the 300 functions on your cellphone usability is becoming a bigger part of the puzzle... and the budget.

it's taken a mere 4 weeks of working a corporate job that i thought i'd love to realize it ain't me, babe. i've cut back the hours there and added some more at a second job slingin' pizza, and it;s fine for now...but the wheels are turning a mile a minute.
the two things i'm a total geek for are in opposite places; after i get this one figured out, i'm on to the next.
rosentiel school? or UCSC?
who knows?

we should be talking about this over a pitcher of dunkel.
