"In order to create something, you must first destroy it" - John Lydon

My family's house is finally geing gutted so I'll soon be out of this high rent trap that I'm in. It gives my a lot of pride to know that my son will be the fifth generation to grow up in that home.

I lost a lot from the destruction to the house, including a lot of documentation of my family history that was in there, but I can at least start again and won't have to live paycheck to paycheck as I've been. I've started to redesign myspace sites for bands and so far, it's been pretty fulfilling. I've modified my own (The Elder Myspce) to be more of an advertisement for that service. At my day job, I'm usually relegated to production because I'm so good and so fast at it. It can be tiring because there's very little opportunity for me to flex my creative muscles but hey I can write HTML and CSS faster than I can write English so I guess that's what I get pigeon-hold with.

While taking my son for a the other morning I came across a house that had a make-shift Katrina memorial in the front yard. On it there was a sign that read "The only certainty in life is change" and I guess that about sums it up.

I speak for most people in this city when I say that hopefully, sometimes soon, there will be a period of time with some level of permanance.
