Leaving the rants away (or making an effort to do so)
I’ve decided that I’m going to stop ranting in this blog. Nothing good comes off of it and I’m tired of getting into a void of negativity whenever something bad happens.
Since I still need an outlet to vent and whatnot, I decided to do so on my Tumblr (which houses my favourite looks from LOOKBOOK.nu as well, just in case you’re interested). I’m not going to say that I’m looking for a direction with this blog (let’s be honest, it’s never had a direction) but I’m going to let the negativity out of it.
I recently changed Firefox for Google Chrome… Firefox and I were fighting again and Safari was being all special when playing True Blood so I went with Chrome and it has treated me well, plus I like all the plugins it has and it doesn’t crash on me every five seconds. I also like that he lets me know when I got new mail. BTW, how cool is that you can receive all your email on GMail? I love it!
I’m also changing my Molsekine for an old Mean planner I had laying around, after reading these two Filofax posts, I fell in love with planners again and decided to take out my old one (it also helps that Filofax doesn’t ship to Mexico, that I’m penniless and that I really don’t want anymore shipping drama), so I’m going to buy re-fills and geek it all out by filling it with everything. I’ve only included my cards and business cards plus planned my month of August and pasted a post-it for my to-do list (I’m out of to-do list paper u_u). When it’s finished I’ll post it :D.
I really loved this poster that Gala blogged on the Cherry on Top this week that I just had to re-post it:
By Ben Crick
You should really check out the accompanying article and the other posters, they are extremely cool looking and so true.
I think that this is a good reminder for EVERYONE, not only those in creative industries. I think that no matter what your work is… you cannot undersell it or give it away for free. If you really love what you do, you can’t just give it away…
Have an awesome week everybody!
Kisses,
Julie.

Congratulations on deciding not to rant on your blog! I also try to keep negativity away from my blog. If something is really bugging me, I write it down in my diary and let it go. The exception to this is rants about my flatmates, which make for funny stories, so they go on my blog!
Also, yay for chrome! I love google chrome, I was ecstatic when they finally released the linux version so I could use it!

I’ll check out that article. Very true..
I rant a bit on my blog and then I remember a lot of people read it (friends or “friends” on facebook etc it’s the first thing that comes in when my full name is google searched – uh oh) I forget not only those that comment read my rantings.
Ahh well we all need an outlet you are very right. I’ve thought about making mine more personal so I can write more personal entries. But, then again, I don’t really care that much ;-P

We’ll see if I can keep it up. Google Chrome is awesome!

I don’t either but I want to start using it a portfolio/resume so I need to try and keep it professional…
