But first off, I want to give a shout out to my cousin! It's moose's birthday and I love her SO much!!! We've been best friends since before I can remember. Happy birthday, luv!! You are amazing!
So, I got a job interview at a local photohaus/deli/espresso bar. They are supposed to be calling me today, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for news! I've been praying like crazy for this job. I know I'd love what I'd be doing, which is waitress and barista work, and it's almost full time, 30-35 hours a week! It's hard to find enough work these days! But the interview went really good, it seems like I made a very good impression and I think I sold myself with plenty of confidence, so we'll see.
I haven't felt like telling all of you who read my blog this, mostly because it hurt my pride and I was kinda bummed about it, but the nice guy I met is no longer coming around. He felt like a was too much of a distraction and he needed to get some stuff straight in his life before he moved into a relationship. Which is understandable, but still unpleasant. For a man his age he was a little immature, so I guess it was for the best, and he'll be great someday when he's matured, but I'll admit I was a little bummed. But I know it must not have been in God's plan for me, and whatever he's got cookin' it's gonna be good, so I was only sad a little bit, and I missed him a little bit but it wasn't devastating or anything. I'm just looking forward to whatever God has for me up the road. It's like Francesca Battistelli's song "Unpredictable." I can never know what God's gonna do next, but I trust him!
Speaking of muuuuusic! I have the names of a couple bands that you all MUST go look up, listen to, and fall in love with. Right now!!! Okay, the first one is a singer named Marshall Mclean. This man has amazing talent, his voice is beautiful!! His music is deep and insightful, and it's just all out good stuff. Find him on Facebook, he lives in Spokane, WA. Mr. Mike introduced me to him. It's wonderful stuff.
The second is The Wombats. You want music to get crazy to? This is the stuff! It's just happy, and the singer's voice is all British, very hawt. It's party music.
Thirdly, but not lastly, is Vampire Weekend. I'd label it somewhere between preppy and boho, it's just amazing. Very happy music. The singer's voice is incredible, and his range, IMPRESSIVE, VERY IMPRESSIVE! Have to check out this band. You just can't go wrong with these guys.
And fourthly, and lastly... (I saved the best for last, y'all) NATALIE PORTMAN'S SHAVED HEAD. Wow. What words to describe the sheer amazingness of this band? How about totally punk? Absolute genius? Or, would "Best Band in the WORLD?!" It still doesn't do it justice. Just listen. And love.
Alright, moving on from the subject of music (it's hard to tear yourself away, I know, but you should be listening to the bands I just gave you as you read this, so it'll get better. And you ARE listening, right??)
I wrote some more poetry. I've been experimenting with the shorter, more strict forms of poetry. And I really like it. It's like you have to fit this entire mural onto a canvas sheet the size of your hand. It's condensed, it hits you harder, it's more rich, vivid. You should try it. Here are some of my creation:
Voice warbles, tips,
Wanders-dips-rasps
But continues because I like it.
It's sad to
Say 'bye when someone
Quits your life.
Miles only span
'Cross town but feel like the
Berlin Wall
Brown ant sprints-
Terrain miniscule
To me, it's mountains to him.
Thank you, thank you, no, really, you clap too much. Please, it's too much!
