Job

AAAAAYYYYYE I actually got the job! 2 posts ago I mentioned how I applied for the position of Student Blogger for stan state admissions/outreach and how I was a bit skeptical about it. I couldn't have been more wrong! The interviewer actually appreciated my down to earth mentality, "You are exactly what we are looking for..." I couldn't have asked for a better outcome; I applied for my first real job and was accepted on the same day of the interview. The only thing I'm worried about is I'll make a blog that nobody reads, or make something that fuels my narcissistic tendencies, but whatever! It sure as hell beats working in customer service! This will definitely be good practice, especially if I plan on selling myself as an artist on social media.

This will be the first time I have extra money so it's hard to say what I'll be doing with it. I'll try to save at least 10% of what I make. I'll definitely buy video games and whatnot. If things are on track for going this well for me, I should have a girlfriend by next semester--so I'd finally have a good reason to go out on miscellaneous adventures--but I think I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. I'm sure something catastrophic will happen soon, life has a way of equalizing itself so you aren't too happy for too long. Which is fine I guess, I just want to be a juggernaut of character and ambition, tragedy is a good motivator to keep moving forward.

It looks as though things are getting a bit more colorful.

Archetypal story of the friend girl and boy

I'm still irked about what happened during the last post. Had to get a Birth Certificate. Forked out $60. Found out after paying that I need a Notary to sign a paper. More shit to do. I guess my frustration and fixation is motivation to not screw up in the future. I had a falling out with someone I only recently became friends with, now former friends. Perhaps this is a testament to my friend making abilities. The issue was simple:  she believed I was too insensitive, which is true. I believed she was too sensitive , which is also true. She acknowledged this herself in past conversation, though she'd likely deny it. I went so far as to consult a female friend and other qualified individuals, they all agreed but saw where she was coming from.  My friends know I'm insensitive, often mean and rude, but they know me and they know that I ultimately mean well. My former friend did not know this. Normally I could talk my way out of these kinds of things, at least with peop

The Hero's Journey

I've always been curious about mushrooms, hallucinogens, DMT, psilocybin and all of the studies that encompass them. What really got me enthusiastic was a Joe Rogan podcast with Paul Stamets (a guy who single-handedly saved the bees). Trying to explain what they talk about wouldn't do it any justice, but I'm convinced of the science and potential benefits of Fungi, especially when it comes to invoking "the hero's journey," otherwise known as "the trip." I'm broke and lack any hookups/contacts so Lion's Mane, a type of mushroom sold in stores and on Amazon, will have to suffice for now. Studies suggest that it improves cognitive function and decreases the risk of developing Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. I don't expect any major changes but whatever gives me a slight advantage and alleviates my semi-irrational fear of cognitive degradation from old age. When Paul Stamets went on his first trip, he was determined to get

Last Blog

This is the last blog for class but I might continue to write in it so I can have something to look back on during my time in college. Maybe I'll share my blog on my social media. So I was not able to secure any job and my grandmother is dying and she'll be gone any day now. Since my family wants me to come home, I have to spend the remainder of my time at stan state finishing assignments and finals early. So far the only professor giving me an issue is my math professor. She's asking for some kind of documentation. I'm sure I'll run into more issues about that. I'm hoping to be productive during my summer break. I plan on finally getting my driver's license and making an archive of comics for the signal newspaper and my social media. I'm also hoping to frequently visit my uncle's tattoo shop so I can begin to learn the craft of tattooing. Here's a recent project I'm working on for a band: I'm only getting about $70 which is a bit
