I'm so over that.

I finally got a job interview...and for REAL job to. I just wish this REAL job didn't make me feel so dirty inside. I don't know exactly what it was that gave me this feeling of ickyness. Maybe it was the way the Vice President of the company was flashing around his cell phone, saying he liked it when it vibrates in his pants, or taking out his car keys to say what an expensive car he drives--all trying to impress upon us how rich this company was and how much of a hideous amount of money it had made him. I didn't really feel like shaking his hand. In the one on one part he told me to give up the silly notion of "Grad School for potting" (he also told me that since I was a potter I must be making pot), and simply make selling life insurance (at high premiums to people who can't afford it but don't know any better)my career (i.e. make making money my life.)

Thank you God I am so over that.

Yeah,...I didn't go in for the 10 AM meeting today. I hope they shred all my paperwork.

I love

Life. Well, God mostly, because He is blessing mine so much right now. I am about to go to Sherwin Williams and get 2 gallons of Plum Brown for my large and oddly shaped new walls. I should create a few playlists for the occasion. I wish I had my bed here already. I wish my little crappy car would transform into the truck I need on the weekends. Yeah. I would indeed enjoy it if my 94' Dodge Shadow were a Transformer and could also morph into like---a big Sabertooth Tiger. Or something like that. Anyway, I am buying a studio space tomorrow at Good Dirt downtown. You should check it out. www.gooddirt.net Hopefully I will be able to crank out enough work that I can sell to help pay for rent or gas. If not, I am still doing what I love and getting to meet and work alongside other potters in the community. I do so want to do well with my life and not just be drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the world. I know I have to grow up and concern myself with making money and paying bills and making sure I have food to eat but I want to enjoy my life. I'm only here for a short time. Yet still, I'm so ready to leave.

No, not now anyway. I've got things and friends to make. And as God's laid it on my heart, enemies to love.

I love you too.

She got the job!

Melissa is now the proud owner of a brand new Graphic Design job in Jacksonville Florida. Yay!!! She searched for the perfect job for 5 months and in one 5 minute interview she got it.---And a complimentary cup of Starbucks coffee on her first day of work just because the barista that morning overheard the excitement and decided to be a gem.
As we were leaving the skies opened up and let a flood spew through. I hope Melissa doesn't ever get washed away!

Birthdays of the Finest Kind

Besides all that malicious hooey was a beautiful wedding and sweet time of reunion with friends. It was also Mandy's birthday--which we spent in the Greenwood K-mart. Yay!!

Stupid Jerk!!

Okay, so, my dear friend since I was five, Nealy, has this wedding, right? And guess what happens? Yeah, the wedding was beautiful, and Tara caught the bouquet, and over 1000 pictures were taken, but you know what else was taken? Everybody's cash. Yep. I hope we catch the creep that made Nealy cry.
