I spent the last week and a half away from home and it was great; but now I'm back stuck in this basement and it's terrible.

I just feel a lot better when I'm not cooped up inside and I know that I could easily fix that by just going out more often, but going out in the city requires cash. Cash which I do not have. Yet. Since most of the jobs I applied to have been online, I feel like I should be hearing back from some soon. I figure that since it's almost summer, big corporations who hire through online means look for new hires closer to the end of the school year rather than in the middle of it. At least I'm trying to be optimistic in thinking that.

I miss Raleigh. I was only there for three and a half days, but I think I could probably get along just fine living there.

On the plus side to living in New York City, I applied to be a DJ at WXRK aka 92.3 Now. They're what used to be K-Rock. Unfortunately, they're pretty much just a Hot AC format, whereas I'm a bit more rock and alternative based, so I'm not sure how that'll work out. Maybe they'll be open to becoming a multi-format station. Yeah, and maybe one day monkeys will fly out of my butt.

6:59 AM

I’ve been told
that people in the army
do more by 7:00 am
than I do
in an entire day

but if I wake
at 6:59 am
and turn to you
to trace the outline of your lips
with mine
I will have done enough
and killed no one
in the process.

Trouble Sleeping

The past two nights I've had trouble getting to sleep. It's currently 4:00am. I've been feeling tired since about 11:00pm.

These past two days are also the first time that I've had straight soda (that is, not mixed with alcohol) in almost four months.

I wonder if the two are related?
