The last few weeks have been a bizarre mesh of events for me. I have to deal with mind numbing boredom for the most part of my day while simultaneously having quick and rapid bursts of creative thought. Almost every day after work I find myself scribbling away in a corner of my room hatching a new idea that could be part of a company I hope to create in the future. I guess the proper term to diagnose me would be 'business bi polar'.
During my lunch break I met up with Ed (a brother of a friend of mine from way back). I heard he did graphic design and had some website creation skills. The meet up was short and sweet - he told me what he could do, what he couldn't and what pay he would like. Something non related to business stuck with me after we had split ways though. He mentioned casually that I looked "weathered". I'd usually shrug something like that off without a second thought and put it down to having one too few cappuccinos in the morning. But strangely I've been having a lot of people tell me that recently. It's also strange how everyone manages to find a new synonym to keep me on my toes. I guess eventually they'll run out of words and the problem will solve itself.
I wonder if it's a result of my new haircut. I've decided not to cut my hair as of February for a few reasons. 1) To save money in preparation for Tony Abbott’s budget cuts and 2) To try something new - I figure this will be the only time in my life where I can get away with long filthy hair. The only downside is, I've gone through the itchy faze, the greasy faze and the semi mullet faze, but now I'm going through the awkward moment where my hair is long enough to just wrap around and scratch my eyes faze. I feel like a teenage pop star due to the amount of times I have to swipe my hair left or right.
