Had to post it-I’m living in a cliche…….I’m here listening to some melancholic Neko Case songs and listening to the rain outside occasionally hitting the window sill while broke off my ass…..not even a beer to cry into haha. Actually aside from the broke part I’m particularly enjoying this…..

Back in town now from the Big City lights of the HRM. (Yes Moncton, Halifax is still the big city sorry, as far as this region goes) Got to hang out in a hotel room for three days eating junk food and laughing my ass off hanging out with Mandy. While left on my own, I also managed to finally take the time to walk across the MacDonald bridge, and pop into the Halifax side of things and see some friends. Not as many as I had hoped to, but since I was walking around around in regular daytime working hours for most – completely unannounced for the most part as well – I did alright I think. It still felt like home too I must admit, despite the New Brunswick driver’s license in my wallet. Moncton will grow on me I’m sure about that, but it’s still taking a while….which I blame on….

…..still no luck on the job front. Honestly, all I do all day is send out resumes and what I believe is a very well done cover letter – it even explains how although I am not work experienced per say in what I’m applying for currently, I’m still willing and able to kick ass at it. NOTHING. Let’s just say though, I don’t get mad I get even, so I continue to assault employers with applications all the while thinking of how I could possibly be doing it better, or more efficient, or selling myself better. I will say this though, to those who are trying to talk me into saying “the hell with it” and break down and join the McPuke’s team frying burgers – go get fucked. HA! (OK, those people don’t read this I imagine, but come on people, I didn’t go to school forever just to quit and cry and make happy meals a few months into the workforce)

…and with that said, I’m out. Later on kids.

OK….just popped in real quickly to say I’ll be in the Halifax Regional Municipality from Monday the 26th to sometime on Wednesday the 28th. Staying in Dartmouth though boo I know, but I may just see some people while I’m in town who knows. In the meantime, I get to enjoy a hotel room for a few days weee (No I’m not paying for it, I can barely feed myself anymore haha – starving is funny)

Later on kids.

OK….so…long time no blog….sorry for the delay people, just been a busy couple weeks I guess….got some developments in my life that are sorta sweeping me up and making me forget to notice the time fly by….it’s a good thing trust me. Hahaha…trying to write this while also being nice to an attention starved cat. So….gonna have a new temporary roomie/houseguest for a while, which I am very pleased about. So glad that I can help out while someone takes hold of their life and grabs ahold of every opportunity…plus they just make me smile anyway so this works for me as well haha.

Ummm what else, oh yes, still on the job search….trust me I am searching too….just hard to get the good jobs, and the bad ones are just as difficult because to be honest, it is hard for me to fake any interest in sticking around if I get offered something better. So, for the time being, I have decided to start writing some articles. Nothing big, just going to pick away at some ideas I had while in school, plus some general interest/humour whatever that pops into my brain. Wrote a dumb but I also think funny article about, well, writing articles…sent it off to a magazine in Montreal. No word yet if they’ll want it…but regardless, it was a symbolic first step. Now…I just need library access like I had in Halifax to write my scholarly articles.

On a sad note….I was informed that back home in NS a good friend’s young sister died rather suddenly and tragically. Don’t think I can make the funeral myself as I’m broke and have plans here in Moncton at the same time…but if not I know the rest of the gang will be there representing me…and I will convey my condolences in another form anyway. Always sad when this happens, but now at all times, as there is a wedding in the family planned for this fall….hard to take I must imagine.

Well as you can see…life does seem to go on in all ways good or bad, regardless of whether you notice or not. Sorry…just reading this back and it’s all sinking in….plus I’m listening to some music I acquired recently that has a personal connection for me…and is also somewhat depressing…but in a fun introspective way….haha if you know what I mean great, if not? Well…trust me it’s fun…like living in a movie and hearing the soundtrack. OK, Lee out….take care all…

OK, seen this quiz all over the blogsphere as they say……so I did it up…..basically it involves putting your music player on random and whatever comes up is the answer……as you can see, some answers almost seem to make some kind of sense….while most are seemingly randomly-gibberish….it killed 5 minutes though….

OK, so if there was no comment in a bracket for a song…it’s either cause I didn’t see it relating, or it just made no damn sense to begin with, in the context of being an answer to that particular question….but, there you go…done and done….now back to looking for a job.
