All over, people are suffering, persevering, and making their dreams come true. Somewhere in the universe, The Local Nutcase is reconsidering what his blog stands for. Where is the beer?

Update

*WARNING! After a break of a week or so without coffee, Im a bit wired today. Some of what I say may not make any sense.

So, I have officially begun MY Seattle job search.

Compared to my roomies, I feel both fortunate and unfortunate. I feel fortunate that I have no post high school education to really speak of, and am a generalist, therefore I dont have to worry about putting together a FANTASTIC resume or applying for jobs that really suit me. I mean, I put together my resume, and I think its nice, and Im applying for jobs that I think I might really adapt to well, with some sort of future. I just know that basically any job I apply for or get will most likely be entry level positions.

I feel unfortunate, though, for those same reasons. It makes finding a job very touch and go. Im sure a lot of my readers may have realized- when you apply for entry level, thats when you really have to weed through the thousands of telemarketing jobs, the "We want energetic people who want to make money!" jobs, the jobs where you sell paintings out of the back of a van (mostly to me at gas stations. "Hey man, you like art?" says the guy who looks vaguely like Ralph Macchio.)

Anyhow, the search has begun, and I can only hope to be as successful as I was last time.

In other news.....

Work has been pretty boring lately. I have my little moments of "IM BUSY", but for the most part, it feels like a giant waste of time. Can anyone imagine not being dependant on the almighty paycheck? What if we could spend our last few weeks here spending time with friends, spending time with Texas, spending time soaking up the last we will get of everything for a while that isnt absolutely new?

I know what my dreams are. Having a family, a wife or partner or whatever who understands who I am and loves me, children who Im proud of, and being able to take care of them, if not above and beyond what my parents did, at least being able to make them feel comfortable. Pretty simple, really. But you know...being disgustingly rich.....thats something to sit right down and consider sometimes.

On a completely random note, Im looking through playlists here on Rhapsody. When will effing Blind Melon stop being listed!? THEY HAD ONE SONG, and Im telling you, straight from my heart, IT WAS OLD WHEN IT CAME OUT. GAH.

All that being said, how is everyone?
