If any of you care to look at my post dates, you can see that I have no set time for publishing. I write whenever I get the chance, or when I can gather up enough motivation to pump out what has increasingly become busywork.
Here I am, sitting in the dark at 1:30 in the morning, my fingers pecking away at the keyboard as my mind struggles to remember the delirious daze that transpired in the last couple hours. I gotta wonder, what have I become?
I'd like to think that in the far flung future, when aliens examine the remnants of the once great human civilization, they'll come across my dingy online journal and use it as a prime example of life on earth. It's a fun thought. While I often imagine ambitious outcomes for my future, I'm a realist at heart.
That doesn't mean I'll stop trying to become the best writer I can be. Where there's a will, there's definitely a way. My cushy new job is proof of that. In those gray months of unemployment, the idea of working was unfathomable. I couldn't imagine it. Now I don't have to. Somehow, I galvanized enough of my hidden potential, natural charisma, and clever ingenuity to get what I wanted. If I can do that on a consistent basis, I'll be invincible.
I visited my friend after work. We went to Rubio's for fish taco Tuesdays and hit up Starbucks afterward. I talked a lot about my work but the main topic of our discussion was tentative plans for a trip to Tokyo, Japan next year. The trip hinges entirely on taking advantage of credit card sign up bonuses and using those points to travel for "free." Otherwise, I'd be down several thousand dollars doing it legit through good old fashioned saving. Anything to grease the wheels is welcome in my book.
Never in my life have I traveled out of the country, so it's with a small envy that I look upon photos of people that I used to know in foreign countries on Facebook. My first thought is how do they afford this? The only way I can make myself feel better is to assume that they're using student loan money to travel. In which case, y'all screwing up big time!
I can only hope that they're dumb enough to do so. It's not fair that they get to travel all over the world while I'm here begging for scraps. Not anymore. I'm gonna save up and make a Facebook post so epic, everyone will feel compelled to comment--even those who aren't even my friends.
