No time for Eloquence
So yeah, been sorta busy with that stuff. Working on a new layout for the Druids Grove. I feel very honored to be asked to do it. It makes me feel like I’m actually contributing to the Grove. It’s not up yet though, that’s still the uh……old layout……
One of Jeff’s fraternity brothers commited suicide this morning by overdosing on aspirin. He didn’t know him very well but he’s still pretty upset. So any positive vibes you can send him are well appreciated.
I went to an interview on Tuesday……it seemed like a nice place. Kinda dirty and unorganized compared to the last two. The people were really nice though, but the hours were horrible. I have yet to hear back from them, and she said she’d call me yesterday……so I’ll probably call tomorrow and find out what’s up. But I figure by now I already know the answer anyway. Another rejection 
However, I am still trudging along. I feel pretty void of all hope right now, but I’m forcing myself to continue sending out resumes, and to continue calling about jobs. Maybe one day I’ll get lucky. Maybe.
One of my neighbors was having a fundraiser for a relative of theirs that has Leukemia. They invited approximately 300 people at $10 a head to the party. Apparently some “Hells Angels” were even coming up from Florida (I think some of the neighbors are bikers). Anyway, apparently the cops got wind of it and made everyone leave, so they only had about 30 people show up.
This…………pisses me off.
I didn’t grow up in the era of the biker gangs, so I don’t know all their history. But my dad was telling me that the Hells Angels really weren’t that bad. And for the cops to cause such a disturbance over it, after……how many years? Is pathetic. My dad did tell me this story of this other biker gang called the “Pagans” though, who apparently killed a friend of his back in the 60’s/70’s with an axe.
But lets leave it up to society to stereotype all because of one
There is a community developing down the street, of groundhogs. I drive by there almost every day and there are always 3 or 4 groundhogs roaming about in the same spot.
Next weekend a bunch of people from the Grove are going camping at Ed’s Farms due to that thing with Mars being the closest it’s ever been to Earth. I’ve been invited to go of course, but I’m still debating on it. They are inviting TONS of people and I’m not interested in dealing with some crazy bullshit. The last campout we had where we invited a lot of strangers (Beltane), we told them it was pot-luck, but -everyone- decided to eat food, even if they didn’t donate anything. So we were kinda pissy the rest of the weekend. Sati and I both agreed that we’ll feed each other, and our friends, but that’s it.
Speaking of the Grove, there’s this really creepy guy down there that everyone seems to be having issues with. He’s like 25 and just starting showing up on Sundays for Rites of Caffiena like 3 weeks ago. He’s taken it upon himself to try and get to know all the single girls of the Grove. Unfortunately it really makes going to the Grove uncomfortable anymore because I know this guy is going to be there. He talks too much, usually about things that I honestly don’t have any interest in. He asks me if I want children, if I plan to go to college. And if I tell him I can’t afford to go to college he’s like “Well…….I always thought I would be one of those people that would have to put someone through college.” He’s always wanting to give the women of the Grove massages and he’s just…….CREEPY. He follows me around like a lost puppy and sometimes I just want my solace, you know?
I’ve taken over the Nature and Religion/Mythology section over at tfl.org, and given up the Games category. This makes me very happy.
Much more to come soon, sorry that this is so short and sweet, I am not in the right mind-set to be eloquent.

I’ve read some books on the Hells Angels that were very interesting. They did some crazy shit, but that was back in the day. We had the leader of the NC “clan” living right down the street and my dad said they are some of the best people you would ever come across. Everyone around here is scared of them so when my dad was in the Sheriff’s Dept., if they got a call, they’d all send him over since he knew them. He said that if you’re in a place and it happens to get robbed, they will immediatly go to the women and children to protect them, then fight back to whoever the intruders are. Nice to know.
Good luck on finding a job. I’m looking also, but with over 2,000 layoffs here, I don’t think it’s going to be easy.

Hee! I love groundhogs. They’re so goofy. Still sending get-the-job vibes your way.
