Eight days.

Friday, October 20th, 2006

“There are too many people, too angry at a world that isn’t in the least bit angry with them.”
Today, I was stopped at a stop light on my way to Wendy’s for lunch, and a truck behind me layed on his horn because I didn’t go fast enough for him after the light turned green.  [...]

Thirty-two days.

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I reserved a U-Haul truck today. Saturday, I am moving into what will be my home for probably 18-months. The first place that is my own. Our own. I like the idea of making a home with another person. Especially a person whose heart is already my heart’s home.
Life is wonderfully strange and scary right [...]

Jobs

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

The whole job-hunting proccess has pretty much left a bad taste in my mouth. Most places I’ve applied to this summer won’t even give me a call back and almost every job I’ve seen has fallen under one of two catagories: either it’s a random entry-level position that only requires a high school diploma, or [...]

Independence Day

#104. When starting out, don’t worry about not having enough money. Limited funds are a blessing, not a curse. Nothing encourages creative thinking in quite the same way.

I’ll be honest… it’s stressing me out a little bit, but I know I’ll find a job soon. Now is an appropriate time for [...]

Thoughts.

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

The places I wish to go no longer exist, at least not in the ways I want them to. The people and the circumstances are four years gone and even if they weren’t, I don’t have the capacity to enjoy them the way I used to.
The only way we can ever know how much we’ve [...]
