well, i got the AC job.  Barb hooked me up with Mellon though, I am hoping to get an interview with them next week sometime.  I talked with AC, and they said they are fine with me trying to get the mellon thing before taking the job.

Jimmie’s Chicken Shack doesn’t have an email mailing list.  So, since the website and all that are fan driven now that they left their label, I set up an email list for them.  http://sixf00t4.com/lists/  Hopefully that will catch on and prove to be a successful way to promote the band.  I am talking with the guy who runs jimmieschickenshack.net now, to work out the domain name thing.  I feel important!

going in to touchtown friday to cover for pete.  that should be interesting.  Tomorrow i am on call all day for the same reason.  I could use the extra money i suppose.  Especially with mike being a queer.  read the forum message for more on that.

With all the hate going on right now, i thought i would post a thing of beauty and rarity.  This is a site that has pictures of the sun’s green flash.  Apparently it is a hard thing to capture, let alone see with the naked eye.

⁵ This is what the LORD says:

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD .
⁶ He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.

⁷ “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD ,
whose confidence is in him.
⁸ He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

¹⁰ “I the LORD search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve.”

Jeremiah 17:5-10 (Thanks Evababy)

Xfest was a blast and a half.  I think i got some sun, but not nearly as much as adrienne.  She looked like she was in pain at the end of the night.  She rocked out all day, and even faced the front line for Finger Eleven.  Nothing more attractive than a girl that can hold her own.  The weather was brutal though.  It reached 40 some degrees with the windchill, and i was just in shorts and a tshirt.  And i had finger eleven’s set list taped to the inside of my shirt, and everytime the paper touched my nipples, i yelped liked a dog.  that paper was cold.

and we transition right from the great day out with adrienne to sunday.  Saturday was like it never happenned, because i basically slept all day. 

I did get positive feedback from the Academic Consulting position at pitt, but it is just a student job.  I need to talk pay before i say yes to it.

so working noon to midnight today and tomorrow, and then i am done at helpdesk.  tuesday i have a research study where i get an MRI done.  sweet.  $50 for tuesday, 2 hours, and then 6 months later another $50 for a follow up.  I like participating in these studies.  Atleast someone is getting use out of my body.

don’t look at this guy too long. [shudder]

so here i am, same boat that i was in this time last year, on the hunt for a job.  Just 1 interview so far, nothing back from that yet either.  I am sending my resume all over the country, honestly, i am hoping for a move.  I haven’t been happy for a while, and i think that picking up and getting away to start fresh would do me some good.  

I’ve been recording and writing a lot recently.  let me refine some of the stuff before i throw them up here. 

so yeah, i have just been down.  No one calls, no one writes.  I am just sad and alone.  I am living with it though, i am not going to let that disable me.  Gotta find other people that will talk to me if the ones i wish would talk to me now don’t.  I am pretty sure no one i have met in real life even reads this page anymore. 

wish me luck on the job hunting.  here is a video of 3 people in white and 3 people in black passing basketballs. Count how many times the white team passes the ball, post that number here, then watch the video again without counting.

i had this idea specifically with maria carey, thinking about her pointless existence, and how she could contribute to society, and this is what i came up with, that can be applied to anyone.

set up a small stage and a table in a big city.  Have someone at the table take donations 24/7 and once they reach the goal of money, like $5,000, a celebrity would come down and do something on the stage.  Like even if mariah carey would sing 2 songs, i think people would do it.  this could be a big tourist attraction.  and you could do a surprise celebrity thing, where you just have to reach the goal, and maybe even celebs will volunteer to come down, and maybe jerry seinfeld would do some stand up, or a band would play, or someone would come sign stuff.  what is 20 minutes out of their days you know? 

why?  WHY?  WHAT THE CRAP!?!?!  why me?  why the crap?   helpdesk is getting rid of student workers as of june first.  i can’t pay rent.  I cant pay for school.  I can’t do anything.  why does crap happen to me?  people say i focus on the negative, but what the crap else is there in my life?!  what the crap.  I am going to have to sell all my crap.
