tomorrow i go to the real world's unemployment office to hear what they told me when i was 29 : you're underqualified (BA), too old (now 39) and don't speak enough languages (2 and a smattering) to get a job.

i'm going anyway.

maybe they'll give me free bullets along with the pep talk.

the thing about presuming to know what's gonna happen, is that we typically discount the possibilty that something good might come our way, and so open the door for expected disappointment.

see, it's not our business to know what's gonna happen... only to know that good and "bad" hang in the balance (and hey, we don't see enough of the puzzle to proplerly assign such slippery slope labels as good and bad), so there's an equal chance of either.

too often expecting the worst creates self-fulfilling prophecies designed to bring about said expectation.

you've got plenty of potential, and plenty of good things still to come your way. hope that, along with reminding you of that, they gave you a therapeutic kick in the tush.

oooh, my aching butt....

concensus: immediate attitude adjustment necessary

you're a good guy to have around, VF

i may be a litttle more afraid of success than of none to be honest...capricorne, resitant to change...

truthfully, i'd rather hold out until the next production...(aug?..) it's just in me...like addiction (not to mention the pay being way better than the average salary in europe, with the exception of last time that is)

but, no harm can come from opening up a little to the limitless possibilties...

i free my mind of clutter and embrace the wonderful sunny warm now
