Got me to thinking.  Now I’ve been planning events for DeviantART for near three years now with the aid of some of my super fabulous friends. I take quite a bit of pride and joy into event planning and having people help me spread joy of social events.

Now, what if I could do this and make money at the same time, I mean, take on a handful of staff and plan events for a living…  I had to think long and hard about this as I thought I could do graphic design with the same thought process and look where that left me, with almost no interest in graphic  design now I am doing it.  My theory is that because I do it anyway on a part time basis not being paid, I could do it on a part time basis being paid.  The graphic design I barely could have called casual work, I really didn’t do it all that often unless I had a brainwave for a design idea.

So, while working part time @ a normal retail job I’d love to start to develop a small business planning events for people.  I’m planning my own wedding so there’s even more experience XD  I’m guna attempt to get into the NEIS program with Queensland Government but I have to actually write the letter to the provider and have my interview with him first XD

Still.  I’m applying for a job Thursday, wish me luck aye.

It’s a nice double story place with living quarters upstairs and plenty of storage, two car garages and even a little room underneath. Will be great to have parties and barbecues in. I am even considering having our wedding reception at home as there’s plenty of room out the back and downstairs.

I was really looking forward to going back to work in a couple of week until we realised that I can’t. If I did do work before the end of the financial year (31 July) then my ENTIRE 12 months of youth allowance becomes taxable income and I’d end up having to repay the tax department thousands of dollars. We decided I need to wait until after the first of July. Why the hell your youth allowance turns into taxable income once you start earning from work I don’t know. It’s a very fucked up system we have.

In saying that I have some spare time on my hands, so between my centrelink responsibilities I plan on getting a good garden started with chillies, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber etc. I also want to get my sewing room set up so I can start making things. The sooner I can get that done the sooner I can start selling my creations, doing clothing alterations etc.

Aanyway, I should keep moving along, things to pack, forms to fill out (stupid entry condition report), stuff to do etc.

I urge anyone with a Facebook profile, a Twitter profile or a personal website to join in the campaign next week by going to The Great Australian Internet Blackout website and do your part for this worthy cause. Imagine an internet where Google or Youtube or Wikipedia was banned. Steam and other digital download services removed from the face of the Australian internet! The only thing stopping our internet from being censored worse than the Chinese is us. We need to show this government that they are out of touch with the digital and technological world and stand up for our rights for once.

Now, lets say on average we receive twenty pieces of junk mail 4 days a week.  That’s EIGHTY pieces of junk mail a week.  I filled over HALF our recycle bin last fortnight with junk mail ALONE.. that was before bottles and jars and other recyclables.

It gets worse then Christmas gets closer than it is now.  Think.. this is week one of December.  By the time we get to a week before Christmas, we get this volume SIX DAYS of the week.  And there’s usually 5five or so more catalogues along with the usual twenty or so.

It’s a waste.  We are of the low income bracket and thus we VERY RARELY buy anything because we see it in a catalogue.  Out of that  lot you see in the picture that I retrieved from the letterbox, we will use ONE thing.. the Eagle Boys pizza voucher.

When retrieving it out of the letter box there were ants everywhere and upon closer inspection I saw the remains of a poor lizard that got crushed under the weight of all that paper and ink and plastics.
