Lent 2009

Its that time of the year again! And this year, many years of backsliding, i will be taking this as seriously as i possibly can. i will be fasting, praying, giving up that meat (at least this time, there no suya joint right next to my house.......). Why this mad dash back to the Lord? Come on people are you blind?!! The world is at an end! There is a black man in the White House. did you hear me? the WHITE house! Die-hard players are getting married! NOTHING IS THE SAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!!

amazing as it sounds, i actually miss church. i finally live in an area where there are churches that are reminiscent of the kind of worship i'm used to. with music, smiling people, and busybody men of God telling you exactly what you are doing wrong and how you need to change. and there is no one looking at their watch and sighing because "the choir is singing a song that wasnt on the darn program gosh darn it!". hmmm come to think of it, i might even join the choir. utter bliss

Beckham and the LA league

Does anyone else think it is freaking hilarious that Beckham doesn't want to go back to California? Apparently he is on loan to Milan for the UEFA (?? is it??). I wasn't really surprised. Have you seen Americans play football? These guys suck! I'm still convinced that the only reason they make it into the World Cup is because they bribe the Mexican players (the only other country in their region) and promise them citizenship if they let them win.

So anyway, poor Beckham has realised what I could have told him before he signed the contract. I mean good Lord, these people call a game they invented less than 50 years football (which has nothing to do with a foot nor require any sort of skill for that matter) then give our precious 100+ year sport SOCCER. Mein Gott!! What the hell does that even mean?

this was utterly random and is a sign of the path boredom tends to lead you down.....sad innit?

Desperately Seeking a New Job

So my current job is poised to end. There are several reasons for this, some of them my fault. The most important thing is, I HAVE BILLS TO PAY. I need to find another source of gainful employment as soon as humanly or even divinely possible.

Sadly, my talents are severly limited (one can even say non-existent). I can speak several languages, but none as fluently as would get me paid. I have rudimentary computer experience, but not enough to be considered proficient. I have extensive teaching experience.....but if I was that good at it, I would be currently be losing my job would I? I have limited research experience, too limited to be even considered for a research position. I have two science based degrees and I would love to get two more............but my funding source has dried up.

Ideally, I would love to win a million dollars and just invest and do nothng for the rest of my life. I cant sing, I'm not even remotely cute, and I suck ass at sports. So forget any opportunities there of making any money. What to do? How to do it? I need to quit whining, buckle down,......and do what exactly? There are many things I must be good at. But of what good are they to people who mete out salaries? You know I can understand why people think things through and their logical conclusion is that their life should be unceremoniously discontinued. It would solve a lot of problems I think. I'm not married, no kids. Just have this one nagging debt.

Sigh.
