   Hallelujah
Yet another fantastic weekend for yours truly. I will start work Oct. 9th and I will be working until Nov. 3rd. I will have the 11th and 12th off and return the 13th, back to work once again. Ah, work. So good to be back and WORKING, albiet temporarily. I have enlisted myself in a job bank called "Benefit Solutions". They should be able to help me find perament work in the future. It's a step in the right direction. I know many of you might find me mad and out of mind but I have been hearing the voice of God more than ever now that I am taking a Bible course in further understanding the type of man that Jesus was/is. God has told me to "continue the path, all else shall fall into place". I know that all my dreams will come true someday and I'll be able to do what I want, helping others along the way. At the time, I must go through a desert period now. I think it is better to get this over and done with now while I am young rather than when I am old. Regardless, I feel that this time is only the tip of the iceburg and something unbelievable is about to happen to me. I don't really know why I have this feeling or how to describe it using my words alone but something incredible is going to happen, I can just sense it ! Beyond this, I have my projects keeping me busy as well...

1. Hoppin' & Boppin' (in progress)

Be sure to catch my poems that are currently on FictionPress.com. I even wrote one about the lovely film, Three Coins in the Fountain. Call me a romantic, but I adore any film that is about Italy. It makes me yearn to go to Italy all the more. One day...(dreamy eyed) One day !

   Vie,vie,vie !
I think that means "go go go" in Italian.
Just like little Guido, I always keep a smile on my face, a song in my heart and a spring in my step. I am going to contact AT& T soon. I have contacted many other businesses, but never AT &T. I would adore working with customer service again since I love working with the public and being a councilor for people. I feel like a psychiatrist so much of the time and it seems I have a healing touch and understanding, a "sympatico" that I can't quite describe. It's otherwordly. I thank God for this gift. I had a sensational weekend. I saw Flyboys in the theatre and it was a tremendous film. I don't know much about WW I but thanks to this film I could get a sense of what the pilots had to endure and how the airplane became so important in the years to come. The only complaint dad had was with the name. He loved the movie, but the title was far too lighthearted and upbeat. The title should've been "Knights of the Air" or maybe "Soldiers of the Escadrille". That would've worked far better. But, beyond that it remains one of my favorite war films.

I saw an exceptional play this weekend called The Woman in Black. It was quite the thriller. It's a play that takes place in the theatre. Two men who are actors are rehearsing and there is a ghost story within the plot. There is always a mysterious woman appearing and at the end the characters are talking about her. "Where did you find the actress that played the role of the woman ?"--first actor

"Woman ? I don't remember any woman !"--second actor

Door slams, trunk shuts and we see the hideous woman staring ominiously from the background. In other words, she was haunting the production all along. Spooky ! :}

I'm a little scared today, but I am sure what is happening will pass. For those of you I can actually *trust* email me and I will tell you why I am frightened. But I cannot say here nor divulge why. Forgive me for that, but I have to be extremely careful least the walls have ears.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh !
Irritated, irritated, irritated. Other than being aggitated at Kmart for not calling me over the weekend like they should have done, I have had a terrific day. A new Deal Or No Deal was on last night and Maddy could've had a chance at $3,000,000. That's a lot of lettuce. He didn't have that chance but he broke the record of getting one of the highest deals ever made. I chose the right number for the Lucky Case game but I don't think I was chosen as the winner for the money. Ah well, there are always more tries. Studio 60 is proving to be quite interesting. The whole conscept of a "behind the scenes" look is fascinating to me. Since I want to be a producer of movies someday, it is giving me a new POV about the whole process.

I am still getting railroaded by Cook and not getting anywhere fast. Put in my application for Bloomington, will find out about the new hospital soon. Every day, a new application. Every day a new job on Careers.com to apply for. At least there is no shortage. Optimism tells me I will be getting a job by realism says "when" ?

   Sometimes you feel like punching someone
Despite the title of my journal I am rather settled now.
I got a rejection letter from Target, but I was able to get my
information into Kelly Business. Since I have worked for CTB Kelly McGraw in the past I am in their database, but
it's all good ! Whatever happens, I will get work.
I am going to try for Dollar General and other businesses.

I had to talk to someone who was very personable and quite nice, but she was *so* closeminded. I told her where I was from and she said,
"Do people still burn crosses outside their homes ?"
I thought, "Lady, oh no you didn't !"
I told her what good our community does and that in every community you have racists and that the KKK *did NOT* start in my hometown. It was begun in Alabama and there is a base in Kokomo, but please...we don't do that sort of thing in my hometown. Sure, we've had marches go through downtown (this happened only once). But
not *all* of us are racists, or belong to the KKK ! We do have racists and good ol' boys but we have a marvelous community and it is a good place to live. I told her sometimes you have to go outside your comfort zone and see exactly what it is like. I went to Kokomo when I was scared but it wasn't a bad place at all ! It's really beautiful. But anyway, I got on my soap box and told her how my hometown *REALLY* is. There are magnificent people, it's a terrific place to live and the people there are like one big family. We have Hispanics and blacks too, shocker ! And we have a black choral director, his name is Carl Dupont. :)

   Craziness
Another busy, busy week. I had an interview Wednesday at Kmart that was followed quickly by a second interview by another lady in HR. I wasn't expecting a second interview, so I suppose that is a good omen. I had an interview yesterday with Target and it also went well. There was only one question that my second interviewee asked me that I wasn't sure of how to answer so I gave the best answer. Tonight I might be possibly going to Oktoberfest. I'm not sure what I will be doing this weekend. Either way, I have a few interviews under my belt.

Sadly to say, the job fair Wednesday was disappointing. I had to say "NO" to the Army but they were being very persistent. I was tactful, but being in the Army goes against my pacifistic nature. Well this is all I have to report for now, other than keeping myself occupied with the study our congegation is doing. I am in a small Bible study group and I am learning more from it. If you are interested, the book is Phillip Yancy's The Jesus I Never Knew. Come into it with an open mind and I guarentee you, your eyes, ears, heart, and mind will be enlightened and opened to new possibilities.

   Good News, Bad News, Bad News Comes First
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14663786/ One of my idols has passed away. I am still saddened by the nature of his death and I give the Irwin family my condolances. He was far too young and trying to do so much good for Mother Earth. I admire him for that. Right now, the websites are down because so many people are sending in their thoughts about this terrible loss. I would do the same but all the websites are totally flooded. I'll probably write a poem honoring him sometime this week.

Despite this sad news, I have much to look forward to this week. Job Fair Wednesday in Bloomington which I will be attending. I will also try CareerBuilders.com for more detailed job offerings and more possibilities. Again, I will give Cook a call and see what, if anything is availible. And again, more attempts to find work. I will put in an application for FedEx and DHL and of all places...Old Navy. That's it, except for Oktoberfest. I really hope I get to go. I haven't been in ages and I adore Oktoberfest. Gives me a chance to really appreciate my main heritage from the Fadderland. ;)

   Invinsible
Even if you're not a football fan, I think this is probably one of the best films based on a true sports story I have seen thus far. People were actually *cheering* and *clapping*.
I was clapping myself and I have never done that at a film before ! :D Beyond being slightly depressed this was the pick up I needed. I am going to take the example of Vincent Papale and grit my teeth, keep trying and do my best. :} With this newfound ambition, I hope to find work. I am looking forward to possibly working on a project with a friend of Yvonne's who has an idea for a Sci-Fi series. It sounds quite intrieguing and once I can get involved I will add my input, so you never know...I might get somewhere with this ! :O Well, that is all I have to say for now...Here are projects I have on my plate at the moment.

1. Bungle Low (In Progress)
2. Either You Walk the Dog or the Dog Walks You (Script)
3. Track Talk (What else...Cars)
4. Some Kind of Paradise (Cars)
5. Onka's Bracelet
6. Centerfold
7. Sentinels of the Sentry
8. Caught in the Crossfire
9. Earth Angel
10. A Question of How
11. Nada Mas (Nothing More)
12. If You're a Tax Collector, You Must Be Lonely
13. Project: Chocolate/Vanilla
14. Illusions of Grandeur
15. Songlian's Journey
16. Xandra's Treasure

   Tremendous Weekend
I had the best weekend ever ! I saw "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" yesterday in Nashville and it was the most hilarious play I have ever seen (save Greater Tuna, Arms and the Man, Forever Plaid, and Smoke on the Mountain). This play had audience participation which I always enjoy. :D I also watched The Will Shatner Roast on Comedy Central. Most of it was pretty hilarious but...there was a lot of foul language which I really don't condone, but in all actuality it really wasn't that funny. I don't mean to be old fashioned but do people really have to swear in order for something to be funny ? Seriously, folks. Among my to-dos this week...

1. Sparks Are Flying (yep, Cars fanfic, again, in progress)

2. Honorable Soul... (Samurai 7 fanfic, in progress)

3. Track Talk (Cars, again)

4. Unbelievably Cute (BoboX7 fanfic)

5. Bungle Low

6. Onka's Bracelet

7. Centerfold

8. Sentinels of the Sentry

9. Caught in the Crossfire

10. Indigo Kids

11. Earth Angel

12. Project: Chocolate/Vanilla

13. Illusions of Grandeur

14. If You're a Tax Collector, You Must Be Lonely

16. Either You Walk the Dog, Or the Dog Walks You (I'd like to do this as a script someday, I think it would make a great movie)

17. Nada Mas (Nothing More)

18. A Question of How

19. Songlian's Journey

20. Xandra's Treasure



I am still looking for work and not having much luck with it, but I won't give up. Beyond that my life is magnificent. I have a lot to look forward to. I will be going to F1 in June/July 2007 so that gives me something to strive for (besides turning 27 of course in November !) :D

   Chihuli's Fireworks of Glass
This is what I saw today. This was flown in from Seattle by Mr. Chihuli himself, and he oversaw the assembly of this incredible tower. Along the bottom of the tower are handblown bowls and ribbons, also crafted of glass. A picture alone doesn't do this justice. It's a peramanent exhibit at The Children's Museum. I also fooled around in the Scientific Area as well as with toy trains and a train game. I kept crashing... >_< (laughs) I had a terrific time. Mom's check up before by the radiologist went sensationally and the dinner afterwords at Red Lobster was to die for. I also put in my application at the Children's Museum. Whatever happens, I have 3 irons in the fire ! :D

   Off We Go, Into the Wild Blue Yonder...
Once more into the breech, dear friends ! Once more ! :O Well, I just recently put in my application to a doctor's office and Rural King. To be honest, I want the former rather than the latter job but if I get an offer from Rural King I will take it. Not sure if I can reapply for Cook but I am a little leery of doing so, seeing as I was stabbed in the heart like that. I mean, how low can you get ? I put in a lot of effort just to get noticed and after all of that I still get a stinking rejection letter. Needless to say, I was a bit miffed but I am alright. It's old news.

Tomorrow, I am going to the hospital for mother's check up with the radiologist. Since it is so early, we are going to check out Chihuli's "Fireworks of Glass" over at the Children's Museum. It should be enjoyable. I will update you about that later. As for the rest of the week, I'm unsure as to what I will be doing, but for those of you who missed an incredible race this Sunday...These were the first three slots...

1. Sam Hornish Jr.

2. Dan Wheldon

3. Helio Castronevez (OLE !)

I was rooting for Helio. I really wanted to see him win but alas, he did not. I kept the girls in mind too. Sara Fisher, who had been away in stock car racing had returned to Indy cars and commented on how much more comfortable they were. YEA INDY CARS ! Ahem. Sorry for that burst of enthusiasm, but I'm quite a supporter/fan of Indy Car racing. As for Danicka, she was also involved. Both gals did well. I'd like to see either or get a championship someday. (That would ROCK !)
