The world around me

[controversial]

The world around me inspires joy, disillusionment and longing. Sometimes I rest in the pulsating warmth of the sun, beneath bright wispy clouds and an expansive blue sky, and it inspires in the center of my being a glow that spreads through my eyes and lips as they part into a full smile.

And then I come home. And I trap myself in the mirage of hope that exists inside my computer monitor. I bury myself in the world that exists inside this computer, and then I attempt to look around, attempt to find the warm glow, but find that it is gone, and I am disillusioned. And I long to escape the mundane and sterile world of isolation that exists in computers and break out into the warm glow of the sun and of old friends.

This is my life. A cycle of escape, happiness and eventual disillusionment repeated for as long as I can remember. How do I break the cycle? Or at least how do I extend the part which makes me most happy?

<< Get a REAL job😀 >>



not a bad idea actually. (well, I'm an unemployed college student, so any job would do.)


<< Sell the computer. >>

scary thought. Well, I wonder how much I could get for it.

 

[yakko]

I'll give you $20 for it.

 

[dexmanone]

I'll give u a buck to sell it to yakko


Ok, 20+1=22 you'll have 22 dollars!

I thought that was poetic at first? Then I realized you need to join the Marine Corps or do some canning in Alaska😀

well...its celeron 550 @ 850, radeon le, 256 megs sdram, oldskool abit BX6, 4 gig hd, and a 500mb hd.

Not much, but it runs UT well.

The monitor is pretty nice. 17" optiquest.

But maybe I'll try getting a job before I sell my computer, unless someone gives me a real good offer.

I could work at the cafeteria, but that would probably suck. Anyways, I'll have a job this summer. Probably at a canoe trip place on the Deschutes. I'll be a guide😎. But thats still a couple of months away. I should do something in the meantime.

Any job openings in bellingham wa?

a job in the cafeteria would mean free food? then you'd only have to work for rent!
