Waking

Watching people in line
waiting
it's early
the world slowly unfolds
into morning

Hardly a smiling face
stupor
it's early
eyes adjusting to day
taking it in

And those who look happy
shining
out of place
others frown in envy
much too early

TGIF?

I guess I'm happy it's Friday. Being relatively unemployed with a part time job that has hours all over the place, aids in not knowing what day of the week it is! Currently, I'm listening to a group out of Sweden called Lizette&. Have been following them for a couple of years now. The music is quite unique, some rock leading towards industrial. The lead and group founder, Lizette von Panajott is a very talented and creative artist. I am glad to have met her acquaintance on line. She is a cool chick! :)

So after a couple of days of being depressed and feeling like my life was really going nowhere - I have picked myself back up! YEAH! I have decided to stop looking for a full time hospitality job and refresh my culinary skills over the next few months. Food has always been my passion - even childhood memories that are clearest to me, have something to do with me and food. I'll still hang on to my part time job and am applying to Second Career - a government organization that pays tuition for people who have been laid off and are looking to study a "second career" in order to help them to get back into the work force. It is a great program and would help me immensely, as I couldn't pay for the course otherwise. So I am carving a new path for myself - pardon the pun! It's a bit scary, as I'm no longer a young grad. I have adult responsibilities, payments and money I need to save for my old age. But I am truly excited about this opportunity. I am hoping to have my own business in a couple of years...private catering maybe...something where I can be unique and creative, please people and stay exclusive. I want to do whatever the hell I want to do and have people pay money and enjoy it! I'd love to meet Gordon Ramsey one day - maybe even get a chance to work with him. There are many other things I want to do, and courses I'd like to take in order to reach my goals. After all, there's nothing really stopping me, except myself, right?
