I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own

 


I have cancelled my trip once last year looking for a career and currently I have had 2 job offers thus far.  Many of the so-called 'offers' I have had have ghosted me or texted me in return saying they found other candidates.   I am used to this sort of rejection and I continue plodding along, feeling my fortune will improve soon.   I had a call Monday and unfortunately, the job I applied for is commission based and also too lengthy of a drive to even consider especially considering the fact that my car needs maintenance.    Granted, I feel it can be driven around Greencastle with no trouble as soon as my tires are inflated, but I haven't driven in my beautiful Azul for months now.    
    My latest offer had me being interviewed twice which I thought was a good sign.  I felt confident about the first interview and a little shaky on the second.    I also awkwardly sensed I was talking far too much.   It was a bit unnerving but I was honest about my experience and recalled just about everything I have ever done in my illustrious 'renaissance' talents.    As for Greece, the credit still exists and I long to go.    It feels perfect because The Odyssey and Epic are out in cinemas and being the mythology and history buff I am I would love to see both.  I never studied the story in school but I do have some knowledge of it from my academic career.   I also had a book of Bullfinches Mythology that I considered my treasure and wanted to collect more lore, legend, tall tales and myths from all over the globe since I found them all so fascinating.    Here's to thinking ahead for 2027 in April and feeling irrationally optimistic about the days to come.   I don't know if I will be going to Israel in November.  I told my roommate about my plans and he, of course, was vehemently against them.   That doesn't mean I won't be traveling to the Holy Land in the future when matters have become a bit more stable.  I am a bit disappointed because I wanted to celebrate my birthday month there with Jonathan Kahn but anything is still possible.    I don't know how I will be able to do so, but I have left everything in God's hands.

Conky's Newest Feat

Synopsis: Conky needs help in finding a job to support his new family. Herman remembers when he and the others made their first newspaper together; Conky wrote business news, so it is suggested that he get a job as a stock trader. Chapter 1--The Moment Everything Changed Like any proud and expectant father, Conky was nervously pacing, wringing his manacles and nearly hyperventilating. ‘Sugar gears, I’m gonna be ok.’, SICO reassured him in her southern drawl.   That was until the contractions came and she wanted to rip his arm out and beat him with it for having impregnated her in the first place.   The birthing of the children happened in such fast succession it was almost difficult to keep up. The first child to enter the world, looking much like SICO only smaller, was a girl. Her cry was feminine but soft.    ‘Let’s name her Amica…’, Conky suggested.   Right after her, Dextro came into the world, loud, wailing and needing extra cu...

Wedding at the Playhouse

Synopsis: Continuing from "Pajama Party at the House of Mouse", Herman Norman "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens and his beloved, Yvonne Chambers, are finally getting married. “ L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very, extraordinary. You’re the one that I adore, no one could ever want you more.’--Lyrics from L-O-V-E as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Nat King Cole “A life without love isn’t worth living. What’s life without love ? It’s a tree that bears no fruit. It’s sleeping without dreaming. At times, it’s the inability to sleep. It’s living one day after another waiting for the sun to shine into a room that’s completely painted black, where you know the key is but have no desire top open the door and go out.”--Karla, Hippie, Paulo Cohelo Chapter 1—The Most Romantic Wedding of All It was Yvonne Chambers, soon to be Ruebens, favorite day of the year. Ever since she had ...

Projects In Mind

 Recently, I was inspired by something Bobbie Lancaster said at the Goban Summer Concert Series about how lucky we are to have programs like the one she had been singing at (and she's right), but I thought, 'What if I had a collaboration of different voices much like hers in a book surrounding Putnam County residents and the funds could go to different organizations that could us it, like PCRC, Beyond Homeless, programs for low-income individuals and so forth ?'   What I am proposing is a book called 'The Places That Define Us' and lots of people will be interviewed for it whether creative or not.  They could be just an average Joe who provides a service, like Jake the Barber.    Just think of the stories people will read and maybe they can find solace, comfort and inspiration too !   We are blessed ! The second idea I had I'm labeling 'Ink on Ink'.  I have always loved tattoos while growing up but hate needles and loathe pain, so I decided t...
