After reading through my first entry I decided that my second post should be a introduction. As a recent graduate who has struggled to find any fulfillment in the job market, I find myself lost in what was supposed to be a world of opportunity. I was supposed to be doing something that made me feel more significant, and so far I’ve found myself participating in medical studies, canvassing, assembling jewelry part time for various museum gift shops, and now waiting tables.
When I’m not busy serving food and booze to a customer base that’s as diverse as a bowl of cheerios (In a town that’s of the same category), I’m keeping up daily tasks. It seems that the world with which I used to be so enchanted with has boiled down to lawn chairs, tennis balls, and tequila. They were the only things on my shopping list the other day. The only things that at the moment give me any semblance of calm when I’m not desperately trying to find a meaningful job in a city that doesn’t remind of a suburban hell where there’s nothing but white people, who measure their success by how much they can look and act like “everyone else.”
The truth is that I don’t really know where this blog is going but I hope to get some creative release out of it, insight some laughter, and hopefully get some conversation. So here ends my introduction to what is, for the moment, a fairly menial life. It’s already getting more interesting though. I just added a straw hat to my shopping list.
