I've been sitting here at the computer for a while, watching the Twins play-by-play on mlb.com, listening to Erin Copland's Music of America, and watching a rain storm come over the mountains. I don't care if I have to go back to MN early. To experience a night like tonight and see the most beautiful sight ever makes it all worth it. I just wish I could've shared it with somebody else. It would've been perfect to sit on the front step with my arm around that special girl and watch the storm roll down the mountain range and into the foothills. Perfect.

Alrighty then! I have internet all up and running at my brother's house and I'm finally back connected to the world. It's great. So....pretty much all I've done this week is drive around and pick up applications, fill out applications, and return applications. Let me tell you what, it gets old really quick...but it's not like I had anything else to do. But now I've pretty much hit all the major areas. The rest of this week I may go to a few other places, but I think I'm about worn out. If I don't hear anthing soon, then I gotta stoop down to the next level: fast-food. Of course, I suppose I should apply at some of the decent eating out places first, but I really am not comfortable with that kind of work. That's my next area to cover. I've already applied to around 30 places. Woohoo!
I almost got a job at a gas station, but was denied when the guy found out I was still employed at SA. By the time I got a hold of my manager back home, the job openings were gone. A missed opportunity, but there's nothing I can do about it. I almost quit SA, but then decided not to...because if I can't find a job here by July...I'm going back home and working at SA again. I gotta keep that job available, otherwise I really will be screwed.
Basically what I do is go to all of these different strip malls and shopping areas and get applications from nearly all the stores. Just absolutely blanket areas with applications. I'm not even being picky. I applied at Michaels and Jo-Anne Fabrics. When I applied at Eddie Bauer they said that I'd need to cut my hair short, to which I replied "Screw that. You might as well throw the application away, because I'm not cutting my hair." I got all the way out to my car and thought better of it. I figured I should at least be offered the job before I turn it down. The only reason I said no in the first place was because of the gut reaction I had to someone telling me I had to cut my hair. It was odd.....like "the Man" was trying to hold me down or something. So I went back and told them I actually would like to apply. By then they had torn up my app., but it was my fault for being stupid in the first place...so I just took another.
Anyway, that's the latest news. I must say, with all of this extra time...plus being bummed out about being away from the people that are special to me....I've been in a great writing mood. Now I just need to work on my unfinished works. And with internet up and going again I can get them off of my email. Booyeah! Alright, have a good day, folks. Peace out.
