My Misgivings on Humanity on a Bad Day

My thoughts are running amok again. Haven’t taken my meds most of this week. That could be the problem. (I say ‘could’ in complete sarcasm. I know the reason I feel like shit is because I have not taken my meds or vitamins.) Shouldn’t do that. Only causes problems and all that jazz, Makes me susceptible to stupid things.

Read the news today. Terrible shit. This whole world is brutal. How are we God’s creatures anymore? The blackness, the complete soullessness of our race is crushing. I feel weighted under this violence. It’s the guilt. To know my kind is capable of this terrible, horrible stuff is so heavy on my heart that it’s dragging me to the pits. It is dragging me to the center of my earth, sloping my shoulders, bowing my neck. I cannot walk with the clouds draped over my shoulders like the iron bibs they flop over your groin right before the x-ray slices through your bones for medical observation. It’s a sickness that breeds black bile in my throat. How can I be part of this? How can I claim common history with these beasts? Common ancestry?

Humanity is a sickness, a flaw in our essential make-up that propagates weakness like inbreeding until our future generations become bastardizations, not even recognizable as filth. We are beyond ourselves in violence, lost in a bloodlust subverted but impossible to deny. We are a cancer of this earth and our only excuse to keep existing is just as horribly laughable as fecal coliform. We exist simply because we must, as any creature on this planet but we are aware enough to make justifications. We are aware enough to know that we are crass, undesirable, grunting beasts so we try to act above our station. It’s all the same in the end. It’s all grunting and snuffling, pawing at the dirt.

Mission 1: Job Search

Well, here I am again, getting myself all down about not being able find a job. As I got closer to graduation day and people started telling me that it would be hard out there to get a job, I really thought they were being too harsh. I had a foolhardy attitude. Oh you couldnt find a job, but certainly I will.

Six months later and here  I am sitting on my bed and still filling out applications on careerbuilder.com and monster.com. I’ve gotten insurance companies and door-to-door sales offers from them. The only call back I got was from a hardcopy application that I put in on a whim at Express in Orland Mall. I have no idea what to do! This just seems so ridiculous. I need income so that I can start saving for graduate school and all that. And to get me out of this damn house every once in awhile. My room feels like a prison. I cannot even go out for a cheap weekend with friends, that’s how broke I am. Literally, I got nothing. It is maddening!

Does anyone know of any other sites where I can post my resume that would just get me calls from insurance companies!? Please help! I am so desperate!!!!!

Project: Self-Excavation

I am just going to be honest: I have no idea what I am doing or what I am supposed to write. I’ve wanted to ‘start’ a blog since 2005 (I even have the wordpress account to prove it) but there are only two rambling, badly written, and whiny posts there. That is a lot of wasted time, a lot of…. nothing.

But what stops me? Myself, obviously. It’s not like I have a lot of life getting in the way: I am a recent college grad with a BA in English (minors in writing, philosophy and Art and Design). I am currently unemployed. Within the last month I broke up with my abusive boyfriend (hit, pushed, kicked, bit… you name it, he did it. And I’m not even going to get into the emotional manipulation and emotional assassinations). I stopped doing drugs (which I did with him. Everything from pot to crack and prescription pills and everything in between. Again, that is a whole other story), and I stopped drinking excessively (which I define as drinking every day in order to get black out drunk, even if I was alone).

SO, after all that I have a lot of free time on my hands. Why not start a blog now? But what do I blog about? I really had trouble with this question, and still do. I feel as if I am interested in too many subjects to pick just one and that I have no ‘expertise’ in anything enough to write about it. Still, I have to write and I have this undeniable urge to share my words with people…. I have to. It would not be an exaggeration to call this urge a compulsion.

Therefore, I have set forth a project for myself: I did not like the person I was in my recent past: selfish, excessive, blind, and rude. I want to be a better version of myself; I want to be the person I know I can be. To do this, I am going to go to some dark places in my own mind and have to own up to some of my most disgusting and shameful qualities. But such is the price of knowledge.

I have no structure for this self-excavation project yet. I guess I will figure that out as I go. Wish me luck!!
