So I now had a goal in mind and felt like I was dead set in making it happen. I had just recently been inspired by documentaries by David Attenborough and I wanted to one day create documentaries like that but I only vaguely thought about a path through film making. I thought such a goal would be best acheived by going to university and becoming a Biologist. I had been dead set on this idea and quit my job as a salesperson and moved to the city where all the good universities were. But when I got there things didn't go quite to plan I had more trouble finding a job then I thought posible. I counted down the wad of cash of had saved up to prepare for this transition quickly dissapear an had luckily just barely made it but finding a super cheap place to live (The catch was that it was shared with 6 other people). So by the time I had moved into this place I was aout of money in another 2 weeks and had to borrow $600 off best friend who I had left behind. I made this money last another 4 weeks and desperately searched online everyday for jobs and was grasping at worse and worse jobs in the hope to get anything. I had applied for a job seeker allowance and it took several weeks to finally be approved.
I had just 2 days before I started receiving this welfare money applied for a horrible job that didn't suit me in the least, but I was desperate. Luckily I didn't get that job and no longer had to worry about running out of money and getting kicked out of the room in a house i was renting I now had a steady flow of cash however small and hard to live on it was, I could at least count on more coming as long as I provided proof of my job searching. But now I could at least not have to apply for any horrible job and apply for things that I would be okay with or would at least be easy enough to not be stressful and depressing like the job I had escaped from was.
Now it has been about 5 months since I started getting these payments and I still don't have a job, so yeah I couldn't have possibly survived on my own and who would have thought that it would be so hard to get a job somewhere simple like a fast food joint or a supermarket as I had been apllying for these places over and over to fill my job search quota while hoping for a job to open up as a salesperson at at video game store or something. Sure although I hated being a salesperson at least selling video games and other cool stuff would be at least a little more enjoyable then the job I escaped from and at least I could again start thinking about my goals, that I needed to become financially stable to pursue. But a position at such a place never even opened up for and opportunity to apply, let alone get an interview.
So now we are getting close to the last 3 months of my life during which I had made the most progress so far on my path to getting into the fim making industry and the closer I get to the video I am currently working on, that is probably going to be the most important one I make. I am going to go into much more detail as I get into my freshest memories and the most important period of my life when it comes to what this blog is about.
But next I'm going to devote a detailed blog post about a short period of time just before I quit my salesperson job where I made a very important video and my first video since I decided to stop making activist videos and began making videos about video games.
