So... The WHATHAFUCK effect

, ,

Somewhere in July, I've met a couple of friends from my high school. A friend of mine has recently graduated from college and now works for a magazine that pays her half of my salary FOR A SINGLE ARTICLE. And we're the same age.

Now, what the fuck am I doing with my life?

Studying? Slower than I should, because I have to work. I'm gonna get my degree in two or three years now. If Murphy's laws don't kick in. And without a degree, I can't find a decently payed job. And no job is college-friendly if you have to pay the rent, the bills and the food.

Recently I had a rush of college enthusiasm, and I was ready to quit the job and do a series of short-term, short-notice jobs such as passing flyers, but that seems too... Uncertain.

Since small radio stations over here buy pre-produced shows instead of making their own, I wanted to found my own radio production, but I can't earn enough money to buy the technical utilities.

So, I'm still on my old job...

Working? At a small radio and TV station struggling with economical crisis, as an audio producer, but also a radio and TV host, technician, video editor, well - as everything except a cameraman. And I wasn't complaining until I've received a TV set instead of salary.

A part of me wants to move to Belgrade, because I think that's the city where things do happen. There was a period when I worked in Belgrade and lived in Novi Sad, but however, I will never exhaust myself again in that way.

I write for the "Rush" e-zine and the "Mons Aureus" literature, arts and social issues magazine once and a while, mostly about music and popular culture.

Blogging? Well, kinda. In Serbian, on my own paramparcad.com. Volunteering at BlogOpen next weekend. My blog post titled "Nebo nam pada na glavu" ("The sky is falling on our heads") entered this year's Blogopedija (a book - printed collection of regional blogposts written from September to September).


Questioning myself and being disillusioned? All the time.


So what's up?

Ohmygodicantbelieveit.

It's been more than a year since I've written a post here. Geez.

Well, I still come and read my old MyO friends' blogs, it's just... I'm too lazy, too distracted, got my blog in Serbian on its own domain... Got tumblr for quick thoughts... Got twitter for twitter...

I may get back here, because I've always been more introspective here than anywhere else on the Internet. However, that's why my blog was oh so boring.

In the past year or two, life was... you know, life.

Writing the date, i still slip and write "2008" instead of "2010" sometimes.

I don't know what's the point of this text, really. Is it a comeback? Is that touching the base?

It's Sunday, I'm at work. Inspiration has left the building on Friday.

Brief

So, gonna post something more here soon. Working for 13 hours a day these days, since I'm being transfered to a new position in RTD... My new duties are audio production (commercials, yay!) and... preparing and anchoring the Business News!






So right now I'm enjoying the first day off in two weeks, startin' monday I'm quitting DJing for a while.
Sleepy.

Crashing and burning

,

To all of you that miss me (lol), I drop by and read, but rarely comment, and blog even more rarely. Oh well, so this is gonna be the return of mine, hopefully. However, since my last post was written in November, I'm gonna try to post all of the (interesting) updates...

- Was planning to move to Belgrade on the 1st of December. However, my computer died, so I bought a laptop.
- In December, my relationship began attempting suicide, due to weird timetables and too many kilometers.
- Christmas and New Year's eve went great.
- In January, I was robbed in the middle of the day, in the very downtown of Novi Sad. Two mornings later, I managed to fuck up my ankle, running to catch a train in 5am. It actually never healed properly, since I couldn't afford not to move. Also, traveling to work became almost unmanageable, but I kept on trying, and missed my exams, since I went broke due to family reasons.
- In February, my bag was stolen on a train, and all of the usable clothes was inside of it!
- In march, my salary was cut, and it started to be late. They still ow me the part of that month's payment! I also started looking for a new job.
- In april, I started working at RTD as a radio DJ.
- Meanwhile, I have built up a site of mine, with a blog included, so I blog in Serbian at: http://blog.arsenovic.net. Also, my spine went bananas, I've become a bigger hater than I was and I haven't eaten properly for several months.

My current condition is:
- Still happily in love, but trying to restore all the things that went wrong due to the seven months without a normal communication.
- Working almost every day.
- Still not having enough money and not knowing when the hell am I gonna get back to the Uni.
- Unable to go anywhere on vacation this summer, and being very annoyed by the fact.
- Trying to do something with my spine. Therapies, gym, etc.
- Trying not to project my frustrations on other people oO

Sounded black? Oh well.

Now welcome me, lol.

Countless counting

So, here's what's been keeping me busy.

As many of us know, I work as a technician in a satellite TV station called "Top Music Channel". My salary is around 300€ each month. Plus I recieve the alimony from my father - around 150€ more. I earn around 50€ some other way sometimes. So, 450€ isn't a bad sum of money to live with in Serbia. I do not have a family, only a flatmate. However, what is screwing the concept is the fact that I live and study in Novi Sad... and work in Belgrade!! So, 450€ minus the rent (75€), minus the bills (80€), minus cellphone (30€), minus travelling to work (at least 150€)... it doesn't really lead me anywhere. Well, I do manage my existence, I get drunk once a month and always eat out because I don't have time for cooking...

So, I got this great idea of moving to Belgrade. I lived there in a couple of rounds, but I'm not really into the whole moving process right now. Plus, the flat would be more expensive. And I would have to somehow maintain my lovelife that would stay in Novi Sad. Found a flatmate. And these days we've been looking for a flat. And planning to move by the 1st of December.

And this is such a wrong moment to start hesitating about the whole thing, you know?
But I keep destroying everything I touch.

Since mine and my special someone's timetables are going to be pretty crowded in the next couple of months, I fear of staying in Novi Sad much longer than I plan - than, why moving? Sitting in cafes for the whole day untill we manage to meet at night could be exhausting. Even carrying a laptop around all the time wouldn't make me productive enough.

... Now what?



Gonna get back here, I guess. Welcome me.

Update?!

, ,

Yeah, I've kinda abandoned this blog. Willing to upload photos... but there are none Oo

So, here's what's been happening around lately..

August. Utterly broke. Utterly lonely.
Towards the end of the month, while recording and editing a podcast, a friend of mine screamed about my negativity.
So, she said that she was gonna find me a job.
Ten days later, she actually did.

Gave three more exams. Living in Novi Sad... and working in Belgrade, in a satellite TV station...
So, not having much time.

Gonna try and comment the blogs of people I like to read wink but I can't promiss I'll blog here for a certain period of time...
