Now nearing the end of my second full day as an unemployed, recent college graduate, I’m beginning to realize that unemployment isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For years when I was younger I often fantasized about being one of those people that could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted (this was the ultimate way of sticking it to the man, I thought) yet so far, this fantasy, like most before it, has proven to be a complete bust. There is only so much “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” I can watch before I actually feel my brain shrinking and the Armenian back hair growing, and only so much Bejeweled I can play before everything around me starts to resemble sparkling gems that must be obliterated.
When I mentioned to my mom that I was thinking of starting a blog, the first thing she asked me was, “what are you going to write about?” It’s no secret to me that my mom thinks I lead a generally uninteresting life, so this question was of little surprise to me. I don’t particularly enjoy going to random bars that smell of stale beer and contain the last slivers of the hopes and dreams of aging frat boys, and the last celebrity I got excited about seeing was news anchor Brian Williams sunbathing in the 30 Rock plaza. Therefore I must admit that my mom made a valid point. That’s when I decided that the purpose of this blog would be to help me get a job. I’m still not exactly sure how this is going to work, or what I will write about in my posts, but that’s neither here nor there. If I may steal a line from the 1989 cinematic gem “Field of Dreams”, “If you build it, they will come.”
Right?!
