Hey Sebastian. Indeed I do! However, as with most freelance, it's only a bit of money here and there and not so much a full-time deal. In these times especially, living off freelance becomes a very rocky road. Sometimes the days are sweet and you get a decent amount of work. Other days you get practically no work. And with many other writers either losing their jobs or coming fresh out of college, the market becomes saturated with potential freelancers. Ideal for the people hiring, not really for those seeking.
Bring On The Future
As mentioned before, with my unemployment running out, I've gone on the hunt for a regular job around the area in which I live. With career opportunities few and far between--especially in the journalism front--I figured I could find a position as a cashier or customer service representati...
I get nervous when they have a collar but no tag. She could have been abandoned or something. The next door neighbor moved out recently, so who knows.
The Expensive Purr-fect Companion
While at my friends' lake house this past weekend I met the most adorable kitty ever: While hanging out on the deck really late one night, this cat comes wondering over and starts purring like crazy and playing with us. The house owners never saw her before and although she had a collar, the...
Humans are self-centered by nature; however, what's even worse than her comments is the idea that if you accumulate the amount of food returned or thrown away at restaurants in the US in a given weekend, you can feed an entire nation for a day. There's some food for thought--literally.
Empty Wallets and Empty Stomachs
If you haven’t heard about the recent comments made by Missouri state representative Cynthia Davis allow me to regale you with this touching story of humanitarianism. While discussing a recently proposed summer program meant to provide free meals for children who, during the school-year, rely...
I was going to, but then my sister offered to buy it for me. Yay for family members! Although it's sad when your younger sister has $11 to spare and you don't.
Limited Time Offer of Awesome
Growing up in the mid 80s to early 90s, I experienced a rather volumous outpouring of cartoon series that to this day embody the essense of my youth. Examples include the life-changingly brilliant "Gargoyles," the perfect balance of horror and humor with "The Real Ghostbusters," the insanely f...
Thanks guys!
Freelancing really is a great buffer. I know a few peeps who are actually holding up pretty well with a few good freelancing gigs. I mean, not great, but well.
The Value of Friends and Freelancing (beyond alliteration!)
Today a great thing happened. I received a check in the mail. And it's all thanks to a friend and freelancing. Since becoming unemployed, my buddy Ben Morse has been helping me out by throwing some freelance work my way for Marvel.com. I met Ben when I first arrived at Wizard back in 2007. A...
I don't know about other guys, but for me, I'm just not a coupon person. I think it's cause I really don't shop at that many places, so there's no need to have all these coupons.
As for carrying the coupons around in our wallets. Well, the problem with that is guys don't carry our wallets around in purses. And the worse thing you can say is, "Yes, I am happy to see you, but that is a wallet in my pants."
Too lazy to look for coupons in the paper? Try Coupons.com.
I'm a coupon queen. I love hunting for coupons and deals in the Sunday paper. But sadly, not every one of my friends get a Sunday paper. And friends tell me they're too lazy to even bother with clipping coupons, or they think it isn't worth their time. And if you're one of those folks, you mig...
