Yester year

 I wish it were a hundred or so years ago long before there were computers, and ginormous conglomerates and big business. The reason i wish such and ignorant thought is because if I were alive back then as ambitious as i am, and as hungry both literally and figuratively as I am I would quickly rise to the top of anything I put my mind to. Now since I live in this modern shangri-La shit-hole-- I can't do shit. No one will hire me for anything other than cashier work, and I am a hell of a lot better than that. Now don't get me wrong being a cashier is good honest work work, but it is no challenge for me, I am unstimulated by it. At one time i was the workinest fool you ever knew. I had two jobs before I was hurt. I was never happier than I was back then. Ever since I became disabled I have had to work smarter, not harder, but how can I do that though? I need a job that isn't very physically taxing. I have resume's out there, yet nothing. The most important thing the work I get needs to be part time so I can continue my education. Getting my degree is so important-- probably the most important thing I will ever do in my life. I am struggling way too hard. I need something good to happen soon. I CANNOT work retail anymore. Hopefully the universe will cough something up for me-- I am so hurtin for certain. Throw me a frickin bone will you please! I have re-tuned my resume to show I am in school, and how I am on the community of student representatives, to show I like doing things for the betterment of others; plus I am able to work as a team. I have even gone as far as to ask my professors to right letters of recommendation. I have even joined a site called Linkdin all in the hopes of catching some employers eye enough to say "hell yeah a guy like you we could use." Nothing so far. Oh well! who knows what the future holds! I just hope whatever it is will happen sooner, rather than later.

  1. I'm rooting for you, Buddy! Keep putting yourself out there. It takes time, so practice patience. Great job last night, by the way. I was so proud of you. I had to stop myself from shouting out, "This guy is so AWESOME!" Of course, you made that obvious yourself, so there was no need for me to make a fool of myself. Keep plugging away, and don't ever forget that prayer works!

  2. Ditto!! I regret that I didn't take a moment to tell you afterward how great your role was on the panel. You said so much so well and I know the audience really heard you. And now they know who you are and how you are. I have a feeling that particular instance of putting yourself out there will really come back to you in seriously positive ways. I know you're hungry for that next level, man, but just rest assured that you are headed there. Keep on keepin' on.
