Its Looking Like I check in here once a year at this point. I probably should more. Then again, I'm pretty boring these days.

I am currently unemployed. I told the radio station to go kick rocks after pouring all of my sweat and tears into it for a year and a half. I had big plans for that place. I was building a whole multimedia division with no resources but my resourcefulness. However I learned what I think most adults learn when they work in an organization for long enough, and that is that few other adults care or respect the work you do for them. I think its safe to say, after finally waving the white flag and quitting that place, that I feel nothing but unsatisfied, heartbroken, and bitter about the whole experience and the last 18 months overall. Fucking sucks.

I have a girlfriend for the first time since I was with Rachael, 4 years ago. I really didnt want to get back into a relationship until I was on sturdy ground financially, but oh well. I didn't expect it to take me a half a decade to recover from the giant financial ruin that was my last relationship. It's good motivation for me to fight off the inevitable bout with depression that usually comes with my job searches. I must not have gotten enough of dealing with cultural adjustments in Australia, because her family is Vietnamese/Chinese. I mention this because, as is the stereotype, her parents have higher expectations for the type of dudes she dates, and, uh, you know, I'm me. So hopefully I can find a good job quickly and solve all of my problems at once. Or it will crash and burn for similar reasons as the last one and I will start wearing sweatpants all of the time and going to watch comic book movies by myself for the rest of my life. Thats what 32 year old dudes like me do when they give up on their dreams. Maybe baseball cards too.

I'm watching Freddie Got Fingered right now and I just noticed that his character is from Portland, OR in it. Rad.

When I hit the jackpot, I'm going to buy me an awesome car...
