I feel like recently I have been wasting whole weekends. During the week, I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, work some, watch a little TV, talk to my girlfriend, and finally go to bed. Its kind of mundane, don&#8217;t you think. Then on the weekend, I&#8217;m blessed with total freedom. Its a weird feeling because in college, you don&#8217;t get any freedom. In college, at least college after freshman year, consists of doing homework or needing to do homework. There&#8217;s nothing else. The beauty of being an &#8220;adult&#8221; is that there isn&#8217;t that burden anymore. The problem is that I don&#8217;t think I use my new found freedom.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, I was still sick so I rested most of the day. I researched business card prices, did laundry, cleaned my bathroom, and got a few groceries. Other than that, I didn&#8217;t do much. It was so sad, especially when the day was utterly gorgeous. I felt so stupid, but I really wanted to get better.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, it was a lot nicer: I walked all over the <a href=\"http:\/\/rgcshows.com\/RoseBowl\/ArtsCraftsShows.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Rose Bowl Flea Market<\/a> with Kristina. There was a lot, and I mean <strong>a lot<\/strong>, of cool stuff and random trinkets. The best part was that there was so much old stuff that it was more like a museum of &#8220;what weird people think is worth selling.&#8221; I saw cups and toys that I had as a kid. It brought some fond memories.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the weekend was overall not that exciting. It made me think of all the weekends (something I think symbolizes the freedom each human being is blessed with) that we waste. Its like we&#8217;re given &#8220;get out of jail free&#8221; cards and don&#8217;t use them. That&#8217;s why today I made an album cover called &#8220;Wasted Weekends.&#8221; Its to remind myself, and everyone, how important it is to sieze the weekends. I know &#8220;carpe diem&#8221; means &#8220;sieze the day&#8221; but for those that find it difficult to live each day to the fullest, we should begin with seizing the days we receive.<\/p>\n<p>The band of the album is the fictitious Glo. I read a tutorial today about Illustrator&#8217;s blend tool and wanted to try out its awesomeness. Now I need to find some new ways to use the tool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blog_11_15_10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-386\" title=\"Wasted Weekend\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blog_11_15_10.jpg\" alt=\"album cover called Wasted Weekend by Glo\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blog_11_15_10.jpg 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blog_11_15_10-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blog_11_15_10-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I got all reminiscent of all the time I waste, especially the weekends. <a href=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/where-do-the-hours-go\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[148,53],"class_list":["post-385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-cover","tag-flea-market","tag-philosophy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":387,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions\/387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
