dood, deconstruckt...you need a more positive outlook on things. How long have you been out of school? If you can't get a job in design, do something else bc it is way tooo early to get burned out...
negativity pisses me off.

BUT

Anyone noticed how we all stay connected, but yet we never really have anything to say? Or at least a mutual conversation does not go on, unless you find a chap that is into it.
I mean you call people on your phones and say "Hey what you doing?" Nothing how bout you, blah blah blah.
Think first, talk second

after reading AssassinAve's post i think about making a 'What makes you sad' thread.
mmmn rather not.
