Time in a bottle

I have roughly four weeks left of full pay before I have to start going on the ol' unemployment, which is weird because the time seems to be going by quickly and yet slowly at the same time. I only lost my job about five weeks ago, yet when I read through earlier entries from around that time it seems like ages.

I wonder if I'll look back on the time I'm unemployed and wish I had done more. The last time I was out of work for any length of time it was for six months, and I don't recall getting a whole lot done. I mean, we were very industrious in doing things to make money; hitting thrift stores for stuff to sell on eBay, which worked out pretty well for a time.

We played a lot of The Sims and hung out and made some art and all, but the whole time in my mind is a bit of a blur. This time, I'd like to have something to show for all this time I have. I guess I do, I mean, I did a freelance website (clubwestmedspa.com), my cheapy portfolio site (portfolio.artsick.com), I'm drawing lots of comics (aintthisthelife.artsick.com), and I'm getting quite good at darts.

But I want something big. I don't know, maybe I'm selling myself short, but I know I could be doing more. Man, I tell ya, I need to get serious about this whoring myself thing.

Not actual whoring, of course, but selling myself as a business entity to other people. Though, if it comes down to it, actual whoring may enter the picture. Do it while you're young, they always say!
