not that there is anything significat to update anyone with but I just havent posted in awhile and after a few beers tonight it seems like a good idea.
I'll start you off with one of my favorite fightclub quotes:
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact."
i'm dissapointed with what TV has taught me. where are these laguna beach girls? why wasnt I given a bmw for my super sweet 16? and why am not getting laid daily by hot bitches? putting my tv/media inflated sexaul expectations aside i'll elaborate on something else......
with the exception of johnny (for no better reason than he posted last) , I'm sure we are all slowly and surely fitting into the system. whatever you want to call it, we all have bills to pay and ... well fuck what else are you going to do? grow some fucking money? I though so.
So there we have it. get a job. what next? choose a career. choose a family. choose a big fucking television choose washing machines, cars (barone, this is all you eh?, well atleast car and TV).... alright you see where this is going. our society is set up in a way that we are just tunneled into the workforce. I'm not saying that this is anything bad, we all should have to do some work to enjoy some fruits. I'm just saying that this is the road we are following.
the root of this is earning money to live comfortably (or uncomfortably if you desire, but that usually takes some $$ also). i cant really see how you argue this point, if you can then lets have it. i think my cynicism is starting up again.
relating this to my life, i'm currently on the job search. hmmmm. what to do.... ? so far i've done nothing except write a few cover letters and a few different resume versions. for some strange reason i'm afraid to apply to places because i'm undecided on what my job priorities are and therefor might make a wrong decision, or just take the first offer i get. i'm going to use my week vacation to think about what i need/want in a job.

good luck on the job search, and dont compromise your most important principles (there generally must be at least a little compromise somewhere). you'll get something good.
