Sometimes you just gotta get a little crazy...

...and that is exactly how things have been as of late. I'm not entirely sure what I can do about it, except to just keep living my life day by day.

I've been thinking a lot lately and maybe my imagination is just starting to get the best of me. Sometimes as I'm walking across campus on a nice morning (must like this morning) I get this feeling as if I were to stop and just stand there, everything around me would continue to move as if I didn't exist. At this point you are probably like, oh great someone call the men in white coats.

There are times when I can be standing in a mall and see someone and think, they look out of place, like the actor in a TV show that you know is going to be a returning character, they just have one of those faces; as if all the rest of us in the world are all extras meant for nothing more than life in the background. Anyone else thinking about The Truman Show right now?

I started a new job two weeks ago. I've seen Allison less but seem closer to her. I like seeing her less at CFA because it makes it even more wonderful for those times that we do get to see each other.

Sorry about this rambling, not sure what I am doing, my head is just everywhere today...

Economy is still bad...no surprise there. Maybe we should have elected someone who gives a shit...no, Americans aren't that educated...

So I only need 12 more credit hours to graduate...that's kind of cool. It's about time though. Going to be doing 4 classes that the beginning of the semester and then 3 will drop off and all I will have for the last 8 weeks is my final culminating project...which I am still not sure what I am going to do.

Oh yeah, today is Allison's and mine 2 year wedding anniversary. Wish we could visit Disney again; that would be fun.

A lot of life is staying the same...but a lot seems to be changing at the same time. Now in the sense that you can see it changing but in the sense that you can feel it changing. Not entirely sure in which direction or if it is good or bad. A lot of uncertainty right now. At least I have Allison and Sully (our puppy). We'll make it, I know we will...just been thinking a lot lately...I blame Hemingway.

Until next time,

Mike

I Treat You Like a High School Dance...

So, this is where I am in this journey called life...

I need to submit out vacate notice for our apartment this week because they are raising the rent again but won't tell us by how much...if that makes any sense to anyone else out there. I've been looking for some places for us and I've been trying to get a new job. The one I have pays the bills to an extent but there is nowhere else to move up to and I'll be stuck at this pay forever. I would really like a job that starts me out where I am now and moves up from there. Isn't that what any man wants in this world?

I applied for different jobs at Best Buy...

One of the positions was for a management job and I was told to go in and talk to a certain person...let's call him Thomas...so I go in to talk to Thomas and he is in a meeting. So, I decide to wait...3 and a half hours later of standing/walking around the store I finally meet Thomas. I tell him that I applied for the job and wanted to make sure he had gotten a chance to look over my application. His response was, "Oh, any management positions are decided through corporate. I don't have any say in the matter." So I take my leave...

I really am trying to find a new job and a place for us to live...

Well, what use is a blog post without some song lyrics...here are some lyrics to some songs that I've listened to a lot as of late...

Song one...

Blue in the broad light of day

Your claws are snagged on my face

Say it, I wish we would make it

And I wish that I could take it

When you turn on me

My arms miss you

My hands miss you

The stars sing, i've got their song in my head

Oh, I don't want my words twisted

I don't want you to listen too closely

Or wait for me impatiently

And I hope I can keep seeing you

As long as you don't say you're falling in love

And I can feel you're about to forget

Yes, I can feel you're about to forget...

Song two...

There's still nothing I can say to change

My news for you.

There's still nothing you can do to exchange

My dues to you.

Like you fit on me

To bit on me a bound.

This life that's shut on me

That shouldn't be the grounds

To emulate an epicene

To evaluate the sound,

The live, a winner needs,

A winner needs a want.

Never want to blame you,

Bound you, blame me,

Never want the blame you bound.

And where's the same,

And where's the strong,

and where's the guard,

And where's the one who tries to make you?

------

Anyways, that is what I've been up to as of late. See you all around.
