Getting A Life Ain't Easy

In the last 3 weeks or so I've been working at Macy's, and have only worked three times at the KUTI gig. Yes, I know it is a foot in the door in radio, but, shit, when reality is that I need the dough, I go with the job that fills that need.

Soon I will have to leave my sister's place, not that I am complaining. Sue and Randy have been soooo very good to me that it makes me cry. I've been staying here in their 5th wheel for next to nothing for a couple of months and they have not complained. Well maybe Randy has, but it's all just ribbing me, as any good brother in-law does. I have said time and again that if they need any money for rent or what ever, please tell me. I'm not a pauper, I do have money in the bank, although I prefer to use it as sparingly as possible, I will use it if I must. It is all there for this purpose, so no worries.


Living out here in the sticks of Selah is really nice. Very peaceful and quite. It is always pretty here, even when the weather isn't. That is where I'm sure I want to live. Somewhere nice and quite. Although I still have a desire to at least live in a city for while. I think it would be fun, for a bit at least. I may like it, how would I know I've never really lived in a city. Then again, I did live in Japan for a month, staying in center of cities, for the most part.


There is a job that I applied for that I want. I want it badly. Check it out at NWPR.org
I am so qualified for this job it makes me sick. But will they interview me? Who knows. But I have worked with many of these people and for the most part I like them. It will be interesting working for the public instead of the bottom line of some company.

Elise is in Greece and having a great time.

I am so jealous. I know, I know. I've just come back from the trip of a lifetime. But I never went to Greece. I can't wait to go there. So many places to visit. I again want that feeling of landing in a new foreign country, one where you do not speak the native language, and that first moment of panic where you don't know what's going on, exactly. The airport announcements sound so odd. So that's what Thai sounds like. Who can understand that?! Or, whoa, everything is in Japanese. How the fuck am I going to find my hotel. There's next to nothing in English. *anxiousness*

I'm doing fine, health wise. I don't have many friends to hang out with. I live so far out in the country that it's a journey to go "out". Okay that's not really a good excuse, but life has changed again and I don't feel so much like a traveler anymore. I don't feel the need to go out by myself and meet new people. Some days I'm a little blue. Not having a fulfilling job or a more permanent home get me down sometimes. But nothing to worry about, just regular life stuff. All-in-all I'm positive about my future. I'm smart and have outstanding communication skills, inter-personal AND mass. What more could an employer in the communication business want?

The hardest part about what I did (you know, sell the house, go travel) is that I did not have a home per-say to come back to. I've been staying with my family and my friends since I came back home in late September of 2006. Let's see, that's October, November, December, January, February... Damn! It's been 5 months. Seems like I've been home a lot longer. And you know what to be honest I've only been looking seriously for a radio job since about January 3rd. So maybe things are better on the job front than I realize.
