My day so far:
- The Public passed on me. So, I won't be doing this.
- None of the 5 staffing agencies I'm registered with has anything in the ballpark of what I'm looking for in regards to employment.
- I've gotten no responses to the 40 resumes I've submitted independently.
- I'm realizing that I haven't acted since January.
- Some random person from my high school -who I have no memory of- sent me an e-mail saying that my name came up in a discussion thread on a Benson alumni MySpace group regarding "who's famous" from our school. So she Googled me, found my e-mail address and just wanted to say "I always knew you'd do it..."
- Most of the pants I bought a year ago no longer fit me.
- My beard has literally twice as many grays as it did last month.
- There's now a trailer on YouTube for an independent I did two years ago and it's garbage.
- Kanga, Gatsby and Braveheart are beginning to show signs of disdain for the fact that I'm around during the day and not letting them sleep on the couches I just fucking vacuumed.
- I've come to understand that Ramen Noodles wear out their welcome more quickly at 33 than they did at 23.
All that and it's only noon...

Right now I should be telling you that everything is going to be OK and you will come out a stronger, better person for all that you are going through. Although for the most part I know this to be true, right now your life SUXXE (to use the Olde Latin vernacular from the root word "suxxebiggum" meaning "to bite the large one"). I could also tell you there are people who are worse off than you, starving people in China is what my mother always used to say, but from experience I know you want to say "Fuck them, my life suxxebiggum!!"
Do what you need to get through this, scream into a pillow, kick a piece of furniture (not the one that the pets are lounging on) or my favorite when I was in NYC, beat your fist on a cab as he pulls away. Later on, all your friends will still be there for you and you will be there when their life suxxe.
Have you tried the Merritt method of eating ramen: Do not boil, just sprinkle flavor packet on dry noodles and eat like a cracker. TASTY! It will break up the day a bit.
You could also have a tea party with the pets! They will feel more connected, as will you.
I,m not gonna lie Aaron, your life sucks, for the moment any way. Just remember, you could be poor and distressed in NYC, or you could be poor and distressed in Council Bluffs. I know which one I would rather be.
Merritt method #2: Lone candle masturbation. It takes the edge off.
