If you have ever stumbled upon this here Blog of mine, you might have probably noticed that as of today, September 29th 2003, all of the old entries are gone and all that remains is this new introduction-like entry. naturally, you might wonder as to why this change have come to be. The answer is deceptively simple and could be explained in one sentence. Instead, i will take the route of making the explanation of this phenomenon as long-winded as humanly possible.
Flash back to a Friday in late August. I was walking home from a 6-hour-long session at the Math Center of the illustrious IUPUI when a light breeze gently brushed against my mind numbingly tired self. This tiny bit of the wind brought with it a cornucopia of smells and memories; good memories of the past, of my childhood and what little good things happened to me recently. I stopped, closed my eyes and listened to the wind. “It’s the Wind of Change”, said a little voice inside my head “...and it’s the good kind!”. who was I to argue with my questionably healthy Inner Voice? Thus, in that moment, I have felt as if a chapter in the metaphysical book of my life has been closed and a new one was opened. I felt as if good things were finally coming my way.
As it turned out, so far I was right.
A few weeks after my encounter with the Wind of Change I have received a sound design contract with the wonderful people of
Three Rings Designs.
Nearly immediately after I have ben contacted by Oge Young of
Electronic Arts in Mainland (Orlando), FL. it appears that they have finally got an Audio Designer opening and, due mostly to my successful visit with EA last winter for an interview, he wanted to see if I was still interested in that position. Naturally, I responded positively.
Two phone conversations and about 20 days later I sit in front of my Mac listening to Vanessa Mae’s “Storm” while I am typing this entry. The second phone call from EA has brought me even more good news. Adrian, their new Sound Director, confirmed that I am their strongest (and only) candidate and that he will more then likely be recommending to his Human resource Department to begin hiring process. He told me this two days ago and, frankly, I was very happy to hear the news. But (yes, there is
always a “but” in there somewhere, isn’t it?) no formal offer has been made and I was told to wait for further developments. In the mean time, exams and midterms are creeping up, I am almost but not entirely certain that I’ve got a job and will be moving back to Orlando soon, if I will move, there is a ton of affairs to set in motion and bring to order... The list goes on and on.
Naturally, you can assume that I am freaking out.
There is just too much at stake here. Getting this job will not only mean a steady income, phenomenal employment, amazing project to work on, but also independence, earning my own keep, being proud of what I do, making a difference, reuniting with some of the best friends I’ve
ever had in my life and spending time with the only girl I have ever loved and still love dearly .
In order to better cope with the stress of this situation, I have decided to re-ope my Live Journal. Perhaps writing down my thoughts and events as they unfold will somehow aid me in retaining a shred of sanity in this clearly impossible time...
Hang on to your butts, kids, this will be one bumpy-ass ride!
