Le sigh; Le moan: Le groan
Jobs--who needs 'em? sheesh
Actually, I kinda need one. I haven't gotten any bites from the jobs I mentioned in my last entry, except for an email from the FBI that says I don't meet their minimum requirements for the job. I checked the job notice again just to make sure their claim is right, and as far as I can tell, it's not; if anything, I'm overqualified. But hey, it's the FBI; what're yuh gonna do?
I haven't talked about it on this blog, but last November, I promised myself and those around me that I would start a real blog about music, "real" meaning well-written and nothing like a goofy diary. It could serve as a reference on my resume, and if it ever picked up steam, I could maybe arrange interviews with bands and actually become a self-made music journalist.
But I'm really lazy, or really scared, or maybe both. I'm a good writer, I promise. My livejournal doesn't really attest to this claim, I know, but when I revise and edit and outline and all that crap, I can actually write pretty well.
I have some ideas for this blog. It's to be called "Massive Passive." I don't know why; I came up with that in Japan a few weeks ago. When people ask me what it means, I want to make up a new answer every time--one that is sentimental, one irrational, one whimsical, one childish, one prickish, etc. I have some ideas for some essays: Billy Joel and Jessica Rabbit; Why "Brighten the Corners" Should Not Have Destroyed Pavement; Jim Morrison Suck Fest; Do I Like Billy Corgan?
Those last two I thought of just now, so they probably won't get written. But the first two could go somewhere. I wanted Massive Passive to have a "slant," a "focus," a "theme"; but I can't come up with any now. Maybe as it gets written, a theme will emerge, but it's going to be pretty gonzo at first.
I also want Massive Passive to be designed well without just using a design template on some blog site. I want to play with the English language and kick it in the nuts sometimes. It deserves it after all it put me through last semester.
I need motivation and encouragement. My wife and friends are great at that. And I need to stop being so self-conscious about my writing ability and music knowledge. Yeah, that would help a lot, actually.
