So I'm ridiculously poor right now... poorer than my pal sara condo who considers herself a poor college student. So I haven't been able to find a job yet, and no (before anyone asks) I definitely do not regret quiting Circuit City the way I did. I'm very happy just being able to help out around the house, chill, party, and simply just have the liberty that we as adults can't afford to have. Unfortunately now that liberty for me really is unaffordable so I'm gonna put my job search into overddrive. Not that I haven't already been lookin for a job, as some of my pals can atest to, I've been submitting applications left and right. I've taken so many of those bullshit personal evaluations I think I may have subconsciously sabotaged some of them out of sheer spite for the corporate machine. Back in the day when I got the seasonal lay-off from my first job (Brookfield Zoo Food Service) I vowed never to go back to the food industry and I'm happy to say that I've managed to do that, except that if it comes down to it I may end up doing it. My buddy Eddie Olvera is trying ot talk me into working at Al's Banquet Halls with him which would basically be weekends and shit which I'm not too crazy about but we'll see, like I said... If it comes down to it, I'll do it.
So aside from the unpleasantness of being unemployed I've been doing good. As usual I just do my thing have fun and go out and party when I can folks, don't worry about lil' ole me. Mainly hang out with my pal Carlos or Eddie now recently heheh and play cheaffeur (or however you spell it) with my siblings and male parental unit. I hit another slump in my story. I'm trying my hardest to get out of the creative funk I'm in with the story but it's hard and all you creative left brained folks out there know what I'm talking about I'm sure. Also, I've been thinking seriously about actually, maybe possibly, seriously pursuing some kind of literary journal or magazine in hopes of submitting one of my short stories for publishing. I researched the idea and its not out of this world. I just need to make sure my story has no errors (already have a few folks in mind to do so), write a good intro letter, aim my story at such publications that would be interested in the type of story I'm submitting, and just hope for the best. I know its fuckin hard to break into something like fiction writing but hey, its worth a shot trying right? Maybe if I get lucky someone at some magazine will dig my story and publish, sure I prolly won't get much if any money at all but the sheer fact of being published will rock ass.
As far as getting creative and Brain juices flowing, I figured since I don't have a job yet I may as well throw myself into school. So I just finished registering at good ole' Morton Community College today. So to those of my pals that will also be attending Morton for Fall 2005 semester here is my schedule to see (in the highly unlikely situation) if we have any of the same classes. HEre goes:
RHETORIC I MWF 12:30-1:45PM
INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA TuTh 4:30-6:10
FIRST AID M 4:00-5:50
WORLD RELIGIONS MWF 1:00-1:50
INTRO TO PSYCHOLOGY MWF 2:00-2:50
So the good thing about this schedule is that I don't have to get up all that early any of those days!! 11 is good for the majority. The only thing that really sucks is math, I HAD to take it (a huevo) and that was the only that I could take it. Some new bullshit ass friggin regulation. ANyway, math is the only class I'm worried about. The other classes is all basically just tons of reading which I can handle. Well this was a surprisingly long entry here I'll let y'all folks go now. If you read everything you fuckin rock ass! ^_^
