Perhaps

This morning in the Detroit Free Press, I was performing my weekly ritual of reading the Career Builder section that my father always pushes in front of me, whilst trying to drink my coffee. This weeks feature article in the section was about how people should take to blogging as something that would coincide with a resume. The blog should not include just personal ramblings, but thoughts on worldly events and such. This blog would then become a way of obtaining a writing sample from the person applying for a specific job.


Most of the time, I like to keep my opinions to myself about current events, as not to start fights with people who you would not usually argue with. I also don’t want people to know my views on everything, because I am usually paranoid and figure that most people would want to get an edge over me. Or perhaps think that they have me all figured out. A person is more than what they blog about. Personally, if someone wanted to express every opinion that held about everything in their life, I find them a tad bit desperate. There are other ways of expressing oneself, than simply through the keyboard beneath their fingers.

Better in Moderation

Besides listening to my neighbors yelling at their kids at the top of their lungs, today has been particularly uneventful. I am accustomed to tedious days in this town. The weather isn't quite right for tanning, not that I especially feel like it at this time anyway. There is a carninval in town, which I had no idea about. It is amazing how I can live in a town and have absolutely no idea about activities going on locally. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the only places I find myself at are my home, and the two houses I work at.


I think there is something wrong with me when not anything materialistic appeals to me. I actually walked in a store in Rochester yesterday and was bored. I guess that is an okay development. Just think of all the money I will save....


I want to see several horror films coming out in September. Jennifer's Body and Sorority Row. Other than that I think that August is going to be a particularly long month.


I have no idea what I am going to do for two weeks, considering the fact that I don't have to work until August 4th.
