so that means i'm going to have good luck
today...
:P
whatever...
because of that stupid, delicious burrito,
now all i can taste is onion...and my java
is double strong...i need a cig to wash the
onion away...and yet, as it say it, i'm sure
there's a better way to clear my breath...
:)

how's that for motivational?
can't you just imagine my aggression
therapy seminars? yes, beat the shit
out of that punching bag, yes, imagine
that it is the face of your enemies, or
yourself if you're feeling masochistic...
give in to the hate...
and then let it go...
:)
***
so, no word...no news is NOT
good news...no news is just no news...
stuck here in the dark...getting only
junk advertisements for jobs...do i
sound like a moron???? do you really
expect me to believe a legitimate job
offer expects me to get my credit report
before they will interview me?????
really?????
sick, some people are just sick, preying
vultures...i want to email them back nasty,
nasty things...sometimes karma is not
swift enough...
****
having to clean the bathroom is
the cruelest aspect of my adult life...
where are the trained monkeys i was
promised so long ago...
***
but i keep trying to keep it in perspective...
little old man says you're life doesn't suck...
look how well i'm doing...aren't you happy?
doesn't that make you feel better?...
well, no, to be totally fucking honest, you're
success is not in any way shape or form a
reflection of me...so no...it does not, in
and of itself, make me happy...
but you are sooooooooooo right about
my life not sucking...it truly doesn't and
the guilt i feel for being depressed does
nothing to lighten my mood either...
they killed a man in georgia, and he may
have been innocent...now THAT is some
shitty business...my lack of job and blow to
my ego? the most pussy whining i can
conceive of...but beating the fuck out of
myself isn't the pep talk i need...how can
a person be so wrong about how to deal
with themselves? i don't respond to a hard
core drill sergeant approach from other
people, why should i expect it to work when
it begins internally? that is a sincere wtf
moment, eh?
:)
why won't i let myself be happy? why can't i
shut my mother's voice out? why is the shitty
voice in my head always hers? it's not fair to
her...she did the best she could, she didn't beat
us...and her mother was an even worse mother..
but both ladies seemed to lack the emotional
equipment...they are fine people...not great,
but functional and not malicious...as mothers?
they both sucked so much, they likely should
have come with warning labels...
:)
so i sit here in my pity party haze, working up
the effort to send out more resumes, begging
in private, for a job, for faceless someone to
not reject me again...the internal monologue
going and going...you suck, you suck so much,
why are you even trying this, who's going to
hire you, you suck, you suck so much....
*****
something funny? she's gotten so used to me
griping all the time, that i seem to want to
go out of my way to seem waaaaayyyyyy more
well-adjusted to this situation than the last
time...i keep saying all these utterly healthy
things to her like, "well, i can only do what
i can only do, can't let it get me down", "just
got to keep my head up", "it could always be
worse"...blah, fucking blah...i don't believe half
the garbage coming out of my mouth, but i'm
so hell bent on shoving it in her face that i've
GROWN as a person, but the truth is the
whole time, i'm lying...i'm am soooo feeling sorry
for myself that i'm really hating to be alone
with me, but i feel like i'm bad for others, so
where do i go, but back to mother...so, i'm faking
a totally healthy attitude to piss her off...
how screwed up is that? i feel like i'm in a
nora ephron novel, except i don't think i'm a
likable character...
:P
so, i've decided to play all the as-yet unplayed
tracks on my itunes...i've discovered a literally
mountain of duran duran...i feel mildly
uncomfortable listening to tracks i've never
heard before...i got so used to being familiar...
***
i have a confession...i really like the movies
under the cherry moon...
and
xanadu...
and the song, brandy, by looking glass
***
ha, ha, ha...
doesn't that make it sound like it
might be something?
something other than a tuesday...
i'd like to thank all those god-awful
90's sitcoms where the protagonist
typed their crap diary rehash on to
their computer...
every time i sit down to type in
this fakakta journal...
:)
"i got 99 problems
an' they all bitches..."
i know i shouldn't, but that line
makes me giggle...what is wrong
with me??
***
writing a thank you email, post-interview...
this is horrid...in fayettenam, i was asking
for too much money...here, there are
literally 1,000's of peeps with the same
skill set, just varying degrees of experience,
the pool of applicants for any job i apply
for-administrative assistant, legal secretary,
general secretary-is more like one of the
great lakes than any pool i've ever swum
in...
sheesh...
***
i want a squidilly spooch...if i had one, it
would be the organ that controlled my
self-destructive behavior...a little self-destruction
is okay, see that's what the path of life
is, a movement toward your eventual
destruction...or end at any rate...so my
squidilly spooch obviously is just a little
out of wack, but not entirely...the key to
fixing my squidilly spooch--ah, now there is
the question that must be answered...
***
sometimes the no's are very heavy...
:)
yeah, i've been giving it a shot,
the daily cleaning list, the kids, taking
care of the bills, cooking...god (or whoever)
help me, i think i like it...it does make me a
little squirrelly, what with the lack of interaction
with anything that doesn't have four legs
and leave fluff balls of fur, toby tumble weeds
we call them, and the constant urge to keep
things pristine...NOTHING stays pristine,
not even if you put it in a box and lock it away,
time will still tear it apart, break it down...
the weight of time...except i don't feel like
several lifetimes would be enough for me to
get my fill of living...there are too many different
lives to be lived...to much food to eat, to
much to refrain from...too much, i need more
time...but who am i trying to negotiate with?
pretty sure the christian god has more and
bigger on his plate than my whine about time,
(or at least he should, but i've always had my
doubts about his time management and
project prioritization skills), if there's a karmic
wheel, i've got to be the only ninny saying,
put me back on! i'm not done yet!...
***
anyway so, it says anti but i think i really am a
pro...it's time to take back the occupation of
housewife!!!
she ran the domestic bits of the castle! she ran the plantation! she ruled the home with her
running of EVERYTHING! she was in control,
and even though no one would admit it, she
RAN that house!!! sometimes to the point of
exhaustion...
but at any rate, i'm sick of housewife being a
dirty word, sick of my mother's dissatisfaction
with the occupation becoming my
embarassment over my satisfaction...
***
...well, to be fair, they're almost always a cake day...i love his voice, their lyrics...their use of horns...not enough horns these days...maybe too many horns, eh? the devil's in the details? the devil's in nucleus...the devil's in all of us...so's jesus...or buddha...it's ALL in all of us...that's the tragedy of being human, eh? we KNOW what we seek, we KNOW where it is, we just can't seem to reach it...or even know how to get to it...like our own personal mordors, eh?
i hate dissecting....what good does it do in the end? if i don't try to fix anything...craziness...
instead of coming into the light, get it? aw, no need to be so serious...i found myself, sadly, in the pages of steppenwolf...all that self-loathing...he says i just need to learn to live before i die...before i am a waking dead...stop the hatin', eh? them, me, the air...hate, so much hate and anger...no fuel for it, no wrongs, no slights i didn't inflict on myself or allow, so where does all that black come from? is it in my dna, my cellular programming? was i wronged in a previous life and i'm venting just now? and why does it seem like only really, really, really stupid sightless people are happy? that the best a thinking person can aspire to is to be content?
and why do i think i'm thinking?
