Oh how nice it would be to feel nothing and get credit for being alive.

Started my new job tonight. It's pretty cool but it is incredibly long hours and as such I am very tired so forgive the briefness of this post. I have actually become so fond of the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area that I'm thinking of moving there provided I can afford it and Dan and I find something available there when the lease is up in October. So I'm excited that my new job is there as that will make life much more convenient for me. I am not, however, allowing myself to become placated in the restaurant industry, owing to the comfortable familiarity that I feel in hospitality. It is my birthday month and I am turning twenty-nine, making the fact that I do not have a career even more frustrating as I draw ever nearer to the big 30. I am still actively pursuing jobs and internships that may parlay into jobs. I'll keep you posted. Pun fully and completely intended. An internship I am desperate coveting with the Baha'i International Community (which is an organization run by my chosen religion) would be a great way for me to make contacts that could steer me towards my career. They do work with the UN regarding international human rights and it is right up my alley. I submit my resume tomorrow so we'll see if they deem me worthy of using the shit out of me for no pay. Oddly enough they can be selective about who they choose to somewhat exploit, even if it does indeed mean they may give them a jumpstart towards their professional career. That's how brutal NY is. Even volunteer jobs are competitive.

I'm pretty sure tomorrow is new tattoo day so if that is the case I'll post a picture after it is done. It's a small one but my next tattoo will be a large one on my right upper arm. That one is going to be a bitch. I should be getting that one in the weeks to come.

I found out that Radiohead leaked their new song tonight and thought I'd post the link for my two readers who care.

As a weird personal aside, I've become obsessed with Super Furry Animals. They are the most fun electronic, psychedelic, poppy rock band I've encountered in years. If you don't know you should find out. I'm currently stuck on Hey Venus! but just downloaded Outspaced and Dark Days/Light Years. Give them a listen.

I will post more later but am not in a very articulate mood considering I worked for twelve straight hours with no cigarette breaks and an overwhelming amount of new information.

Goodnight kids!
