G.K. Chesterton: “Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.” (Orthodoxy)

I don't know what most people experience post graduation. I, myself, am living with my best friend, sleeping on a pineapple couch (which is comfy!), eating turkey on wheat, and looking through job listing after job listing. I think I'm living the dream.

No really...don't doubt me...I'm lovin' this. I don't mind that I'm unemployed...its actually kind of nice NOT to have a schedule to work around...although I will need money sometime soon.

I would imagine this is what most people do post graduation. Although SOME people coughengineerscough seem to make out pretty well in the job world. I don't think I belong in the job world. I would love to see myself working for some small creative company...that does something great. They would be community minded...flexible...FUN...engaging...and a family. I would L.O.V.E that! What better way to spend my time? Thus far I've only applied to corporate type positions but I'm keeping my eyes open.

And I'm PRAYIN'...man am I prayin'! I would love for Jesus to swoop down and gave me the job of my dreams. I don't think that's going to happen...but I know he will give me some kind of direction. I could use some direction right now. I told my friend Rachel the other day that they best way to describe my life right now is that I'm "riding around aimless on the creeper bike through dark allies". I don't know what a creeper bike is but it sound good at the time!

That's the news from Lake Wobegon...where all the men are strong...all the women good looking...and all the children are above average.

Graduation

It's official...I've been kicked out of Geneva College.

Well...actually I've graduated. WOO!

Supposedly I have a degree in Visual Communications.

Ha ha...what does THAT mean?

Sunday, May 2, 2010

The air is heavy with moisture...Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros are play "Home" in the background...one friend is snapping pictures...one is playing Gameboy...one is alternating between frantically typing and snapping her fingers...and the other is reading some small, black book. Oh beautiful day.

This is my prescription for a good Sunday. Take a dose...I guarantee healing from whatever ails you.

Amy was just talking about the privilege of having and knowing her friends. I like this. It's more than just something happenstance that makes you have friends and love them. I'm over-flooded with good friends. Thanks friends.

Ryan Adams-Wonderwall...Cat Stevens-If You Want to Sing Out...Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros-Home...Johnny Cash-Hurt...Play list thus far for this Sunday.
