Distractions

Egads, if this world weren’t so high-tech, I’d probably be much better off. I wouldn’t be sitting around playing on iSketch with my Graphire4 Wacom whenever I was bored. Instead, I’d be out in a loincloth hunting down wild beasts several times my size. Who needs technology, yeah?

Speaking of iSketch, I was just on there but a minute ago. I find it strange that such an unpopular game like Pictionary all of the sudden becomes a huge deal when we throw it online for every internet user with a connection. Who knows what stalkers may be there?! Swandieve, I’m talking to you.

With so much stuff to grab my attention (no I will not make you a list; it’ll take too much time), it’s been a wonder how I’ve still managed a small social life, school, and work. On top of that, I’ll be adding exercise. This is turning into a wild pile of Jenga, folks! And I’m the bottom piece that’s holding it all together. On top of that, I’m looking for a writing job. Good luck to me won’t help much. The fact of the matter is that Miami is almost completely sparse of a writing industry let alone for a few news publications. I know the Miami New Times is looking for a staff writer, but I’m short on actual print media clips and a cover letter. I’m hoping a few months spent with my college paper will remedy that. The Miami Herald probably won’t be dealing much with hiring because of their latest dealings with The McClatchy Company, a newspaper publishing house. Right now, my chances may only lie in New York or San Francisco. Both cities are writing meccas, but they have some of the highest tax rates in the states. Right now, I’ll have to deal with what I’ve got.

Writing is so damned competetive. They should hand out gold medals for landing a job in a newspaper or media company. Or a golden pen. Or a gold computer with gold plated keyboards.

“. . . ah, screw the whole thing!”
