Self-improvement is just home-improvement for those of us without homes

These last few weeks have been strange for me. I caught quite a bit of the sadness, the despair, the feelings. I've been feeling incredibly lost and dissatisfied with myself as a person. I'm trying to change, to be more reliable. It's difficult. Being unreliable is easy.

I had a bit of an epiphany though. I'm finally going to get off my bum and strive to achieve idle goals that I had set almost two years ago. I'm going to get a job in the massage field, save up enough money to take continuing education courses in spa techniques, and see if I can't get a job on a cruise ship for a year. This is a projected goal, but I hope I can be fully trained before year's end. Then I'll be working my ass off in the Caribbean or somewhere similarly hot. Wish me luck! Miss you all.

Oh and for my song, I have this little number that continues to make me weep like a little bitch for reasons that I don't fully understand. Don't judge.

  1. I love this song more and more every time I hear it.

  2. I don't know where The Script came from. They keep popping up lately and I can't say I mind. I haven't heard this song before - me gusta. I can totally see it being an Oh God Feelings song. I can hardly judge - mine right now is Beirut's The Penalty. Just over two minutes and my tear ducts become tiny waterfalls.

    I am sending you all the luck I can find. Too early for four-leafed clovers, but bottled Leprechaun spit or Unicorn tears ought to do it, right? Maybe? I'll check the black market...or something?

    But, seriously, I wish you all the luck in your plans - I have every confidence you can do it, too. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Let me know if I can help.

  3. Trainer-tip: Don't get a job with Disney. I hear it's kind of terrible.

    Also I like these dudes. They sound a little familiar. Kind of Jason Mraz-esque maybe. Something. Whatever.

    1. GOOD TO KNOW. I was thinking more along the lines of Carnival... hopefully the ship won't run aground and kill me. ;D
