Alright, now that that's out of the way...I really hate being un-employed, I HATE IT. I guess you could call my current live in position a job, but nah...It pays my rent and nothing else. I'll keep reaching for the dollar and, more importantly, that giant pie in the sky that is a job you look forward to seeing each day. A girlfriend wouldn't hurt either, but I don't think un-employment is very conducive to finding one. Maybe I should just become some rich old bitty's boy toy and knock out both problems in one fell swoop.

The other day I was at the coffee shop when I overheard a group of people laughing, cracking jokes and loudly proclaiming how painfully introverted they are. I really don't get life sometimes...

I haven't been updating much because honestly, I don't have alot to say. Not much is new, I'll be flying into Atlanta in about a week and I can't wait to see everyone again so that should be fun.

So anyway...merry Christmas and a happy new year er'body. Hopefully I can muster something decent to say next update.

I'm sick of spending almost every hour of my life cooped up in this room. The problem of course is that I have nowhere to go, no money to spend and no friends to see. I went to a party last night, but for the most part I just ended up putting dents in the dip and reading Rolling stone on the couch. Meanwhile, the job search has come to a screeching halt due to a lack of energy and optimism. I really don't know if there's a single thing out there that I'm cut out for.

The few social graces I have completely dissolved and I'm even having trouble talking to close friends and family back home. I honestly just don't know what to say anymore. In short, I've been more depressed then I have in my entire life. I really hate feeling this way.



Well alright...three hours later and I feel great. I've decided to leave the original post as testament to just how fucked up these mood swings are. It always hits like a ton of bricks then fades out shortly afterwards. Let me also add that dancing is great medicine for the blues and that "Hoops" is the coolest song in existence.

What a show...

I just got back from a halloween party, it was pretty fun, but also kind of odd...it's hard to pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but everyone just seemed really strange and awkward around each other. There was probably a good 40 people there at one point, among my favorites being Buckethead, Steve Zissou and the brave little toaster, who did a fabulous toaster dance.

At one point during the night a procession of people dressed in black showed up beating drums and chanting in front of the house. We invited them to come drink with us and they did for a little while but left shortly after, though not before creeping everyone out. I also met a pretty nice girl at one point who was most likely hitting on me, but being the socially inept jackass I am I bored/awkward silenced her back to the other side of the yard. Go me. Things were starting to wind down so I decided to call it a night. Stepping off the front porch I noticed the brave litttle toaster. No longer the spry dancer I once knew, he was curled up into a ball and holding his head. Poor guy...

I'd say the overall tone of the night was very weird. It's like the ice never really broke and everyone just kind of kept to themselves until they started getting drunk, at which point they just made each other feel un comfortable. Not bad, not great...I give it a 6 out of 10 on the krunk o meter.
