Jesus Fuck Nuts, it's been 9 days since I've updated!?!?!
Well, nothing much has changed. Still haven't heard anything on my car, I still don't have interwebz at the crib, and I'm still jobless. I'll be lying if I said I'm in a good disposition right now.
Right now I'm at my folks' place in Crete, IL which is way the fuck down there. I...

What done is done. Can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.
This is by far my favorite DEVO track. It's almost Gothic.

I feel as if "God" or who/whatever governs the niverse doesnt want me to right now.

Quick Update:
I've been in the South Side (Pilsen) for about two weeks. It's been a tough transition, but I'm just now beginning to adjust to my new surroundings. The cool part: on the weekends, this little taco set ups right across the street from me. Sweet!
I found out Friday that my aunt died. She was sick for a really long time, but it...

Hello all you fucks and ducks and mucks!
I'm going through some changes in my life. I know for the 2 of you that reads my shit on the regular, this isn't a surprise as I'm always in a constant state of change. However, this one of the big ones.

Yesssss.
Reggae and Soul night seems cool. Makes me think of dim lighting and sweet smells. I dunno.
Mm, two dates. Third one's a charm?

Good luck with that, by the way.
I'm used to moving, I've had years of practice
Have a housewarming party. Or, skip that, and let me mail you something nice, a housewarming gift like a nice candle set or something. Haha, I'm silly.

I caved.
I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do it.

I did this with deep shame and embarrassment, but it was necessary.

It was a slight burning sensation, but it wasn't that bad actually. Hilariously enough I was terrified I would be all wimpy and flinchy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was also lucky that the tattoo took only about 40 mins. I'm sure if he had to really work that area it would have hurt like a bitch.
Man, the job search hustle is tough, joe!
Right now, I'm talking with these people about stocking books for them. So far I sent them a cover letter, a resume, filled out their questionnaire and I just did a phone interview. Now I have to wait for them to send me an email letting me about another interview.
God I hope I get this gig....

So, yeah, I got my car back. Sweet.
Yet to hear anything from unemployment as whether or not I still have benefits.

I started out by writing for school newspapers, once I got to college I majored in English Lit-Creative Writing with an emphasis on news and feature writing. I worked for the college's paper, but worked on articles on themes that interested me for other publications. Writer's Market is a great resource that list writer's guidelines, contact information and acceptance rates. One thing you do have to monitor is who you're supposed to submit the work to, then double check that information on the publication's website.
The Writer and Writer's Digest often feature tips on article writing and have a short list of publications (which change with the theme of the issue).
With freelance work, it helps to know how to do an invoice and to ask for a writer's contract, as well as how to craft a short article query where you outline your work, include a few clips , show that you are familar with the type of articles the publication accepts, as well as how your article will attract readers .
I've only had one issue so far. I had an article accepted, signed the contract and sent the invoice (I also had a history of e-mail correspondence with the editor who accepted the piece). Several months had passed without payment and I had made several attemps to contact the editor. I was finally able to contact someone by phone who told me they just found my information on the editor's computer, since they just got the password for his PC (I still don't know what happened to the guy but I did end up getting paid).
Currently I'm a librarian. I am still writing, but my submissions have more of an academic bent, due to the nature of my work. I l ove writing, but publications often pay by word-so infrequent $50-$100 checks (I needed a steadier paycheck, and went back to school for my MLIS, so it's become, not a secondary job, but a job that's been incorporated into my new one). I planned on grad school and new that freelance would not be my primary source of work/income.
I hope this answers some of your questions.

Gratz on getting your wheels back! I hope things pan out with the ad dept. I fricking love gogol bordello, wanderlust king just makes me wanna set sail around the world... unfortunately I lack funds for any sort of awesome adventure like that. =\
Nothing new to update. Just want to update just to update.
I just talked with a band this afternoon called Orange Avenue. I'm actually trying to do the article now. It's due Saturday, but I want to get a head start.
Anyway, the car's fixed, but I need at least $100 to get it back. Which I don't have.
Oh and unemployment called me...
