That's right, Mulder, that's how you make a human/alien hybrid

Ok. My life as a grown up... get pumped up... whua! whua! Pumped up! Blog time!

Going to a career. Having a salary. Living with my girlfriend in an apartment. Having bills. I'm a grown up, right?

I'm pretty sure it's just Additive stuck in a grown up life. Not that I don't like this life, I can see how grown ups get stuck in it for... life. But I have much bigger and better plans for myself, and this grown up life I've got right now is just a source of income. My life generates money for other people's lives. How inane.

Really, my dream (besides becoming an Astronaut to mate with a martian. That's right, Mulder, that's how you make a human/alien hybrid.) is to become a remote freelance typography-based graphic designer. I mean, how cool would that be? Let's find out:

Remote freelancers, while not having many material possessions and much money, get to travel! The one thing that everyone needs to do in their life is travel, other wise you become the man in the cave with the fire... or something. You can read you're New Yorker and drink imported tea with Kevin Rose's face on it, but that doesn't really make you cultured (unless the tea is somehow connecting you to Kevin Rose and his amazing adventures). Get up, right now. Ok, get up after you've finished reading the whole post, and leave. Take a sick leave, take vacation, take a train, take a bus, take a plane, take a plain shirt and almost nothing with you. Go. Adventure.

Plus I've always, will always, want to become a freelance typography-based graphic designer. I've been obsessed with graphic designer for over a decade now.(my own personal means of making the world a better place. Much more effective than starting a picket line to get a statue of myself installed in major cities.) And, if you've been following the blog or you know me personally, then you know my obsession with typography, fonts, ligatures and serifs. I'm currently designing my first full font and plan on spending a solid year or so on it before releasing it to the public. It's nothing fancy, not a body type or display type. Maybe something someone could use on a techno album or something. Not too practical, but I don't think my first font could be a beautiful, elegant body type (like Zurich) or an amazing, balanced sans serif (like Helvetica). I should write a poem about fonts.

Shit, where was I? Something about typography and freelance graphic design.... Remote freelance typography based graphic design! Right! I think I covered everything I had to say. Aaaaaand scene.
