I know what your thinking, 2 posts in one month. I'm on a blogging tear. Such is the life of an unemployed youth. In fact, if it weren't for the insurance plan I paid into while I was working, I would have to start charging for the privilege of reading this blog. But, thankfully, it hasn't come to that - yet.
Anyway blogosphere, I have the time so I might as well blog about something. Actually, this experience reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld, when George is unemployed. Kramer asks him, "Do you have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?", to which George replies "Well, I like to get the daily news". And this is the situation I find myself in today. In fact, as I hung around my sisters house Walt-watching last week, my brother-in-law showed up at the end of one day and asked me what I had done that day. My reply was "we got Dorner!"
Of course, I was referring to Christopher Dorner, the anti-hero disgraced LAPD officer who declared war on his former employer this past week. Thank god for stories like his blogosphere - it really kept me entertained. I mean, the LAPD really couldn't have handled this any worse than they did. Not only did Dorner hold up in a condo basically across as street from them, but they had police out on the streets shooting at innocent hispanic women whom they had mistaken for Dorner. What idiots! Then, instead of trying to bring Dorner to justice, they burn him alive! Really? You can't make this stuff up.
But what has my life become that I list reading the daily news as an accomplishment? Well, I think the long answer to that would be that it has become a disappointment. Anything I have ever tried for I have failed at. Of course, I prefer the short answer to that question: fun. That's the truth of it, blogosphere. Not working is fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to continue the job hunt, and I'm sure eventually I will bounce back. But, in the meantime, I'm having a blast. I've been drinking like a fish, eating whatever I want, watching british comedies (incidentally, the show "Pulling" is bloody brilliant), and doing a ton of what I will categorize as hanging out. And let me tell you something blogosphere, it never gets old.
What's that? The blade runner from the London games murdered his super-model girl-friend? Gotta go blogosphere - no work to do!
