Graphic Designers are BAD?

I always had to wonder why every graphic designer I have met is either borderline crazy, anal, argumentative or has just plain arsehole syndrome. I have today come to the conclusion. First of all you end studying something creative, but once you actually start your job you are there to constantly please people (non-designers who have no clue). So basically, if you want to be a designer – don't study design. Be the bystander. Also designing is having to submit to outlandish and ridiculous changes by those who don't know what gets put into it, or can not understand what the word “flat file” means.  Personality type to study design – people pleasers. Don't study design if you are ambitious, unique or like to be creative. This is the wrong profession for you. You can start out as a prize winning person and turn out to become a complete drug addict, arsehole, or whatever bad name calling a person can find. Yes, designers are arseholes, with good damn reason. In the life of a designer.

Pulling My Hair Out

Listening to people fight has a strange effect. Anxiety. It is not like a tv or radio that you can turn off. Damaging words that can’t be withdrawn that remain a scar till they get scratched again into a scab. One bad word can take 10years back into the past As they say the shells come off. Why do people damage each other so, especially the ones that love each other. Or is that a myth, maybe that's not what love is at all. When you love someone, wouldn't you want them to be happy and to build them up, not to pierce a sword into their heart or back. Two people being together, being afraid to get hurt, trying to please each other, putting so much pressure on each other to be perfect. Consideration must be one of the biggest key elements. Putting their selfish ways aside. Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me – the biggest untruth I have heard from a young age. What would the antidote be? A good character could help? Trust? Someone that is actually trustworthy? Then again we are humans. But that might be where character comes in, knowing what is wrong, what is right, what is acceptable. No one is perfect, but surely bumping your head more than once can create a bump which turns into a cancer. Abusive = Black, evil, demons, cancer = being around abuse.

Turn down the volume

I think the volume in my head was adjusted last night. Why is everyone talking and laughing so loudly. Turning of a page, chewing of gum, scrolling around on chairs. Sounds like everyone is screaming. My personal bubble has shifted to about a centre metre above my skin.

I really enjoy this song. Mixed feelings about amusement and just feel good vibe. Carefree!

Isn't it great that we have a South African Artist doing so well! I mean most artists only end up doing well after they have passed on. I love these 2 artworks of his. He is simply talented.

The latest happenings in SA

So everyone must change his or her twitter profile pic to Juluis Malema aka racist scumbag, on Friday! Just to aggravate the old man even more about fake twitter accounts. He is such a TWIT. Have to wonder how the wheels in his head operate. Well he is a Pisces star sign, I thought Pisces people were quite nice until now.

I see that one of the suspected Rhino poachers from Limpopo commited suicide! Its all quite shocking that these are all “respected” people that were involved. Strange how the world shocks you every now and then, just to make sure you still awake.

I sometimes wonder what the point is of things like Movember or even like those naked pics in magazines to raise awareness for breast cancer etc, unless some of the money made in doing some of these things gets sponsored to Breast Caner patient’s treatments etc.… I am not pro or against those type of things, but I mean isn’t everyone aware anyways of what is going on?

My 1st post

Today I have decided to make a blog about my doings and thought and all that jazz. Could be because I have nothing to do at work today or because I would like to record life .

I feel kind of nauseous today for some obscure reason that I have not quite figured out yet. I had a bonding session with my sister last night! Ate sushi at Best of Asia in Lonehill. The sushi was good I must say. 

So my big boss lives in Aus and need to have a skype meeting with him today. Think it is going to be quite weird since I have never met him in person and have only been at my current job over a month doing graphic design for an athlete’s magazine.
