Fuck the corporate scene, I want to live the Bohemian lifestyle. I'm sick of having to regulate everything from haircut to body piercings to my general fucking outlook on life to fit this fucking corporate mold of what is and what isn't acceptable. I hate the fact that I put in so many goddamned hours, that I skip lunches, that I stress myself to a fucking daily heartburn for what? Just to process company checks that, individually, far surpass my yearly salary. I hate making a slave wage and slaving away so that others may prosper. I hate that, when I needed one day off to cope with the death of a friend and another day off to attend his funeral, I was threatened with "termination" because I'm fresh out of sick days. And I hate the fact that every job I find is, seemingly, just more of the same. Because when it boils down, even if I'm doing something more attuned to my skills and interests, I'll still be in that same fucking corporate environment. Maybe I've been jaded by the very shitty treatment at my current job and maybe, just maybe, there are other jobs out there that regard their workers with a little more, well, regard, than this one. But I have a hard time believing it. I've recently looked back on my MilwaukeeJobs.com history. I've been applying to jobs since January. Fucking January. You know how many legit* jobs called me back? 0. Not a fucking one. So now I'm second-guessing myself on top of all this. I don't see a way out; even if I do get another job, I can't imagine it being much better. Fuck it. *I did get a call back, and interview, with a company that is nothing more than a pyramid scheme. As I discovered at the interview. Big waste of time. |

In true existentialist fashion, I am fully aware that the only purpose to life is to experience. Why not? In the end we're dust regardless and so much of what we do in life has no purpose. We should, from time to time, break free from the drone of the machinery -- allow the gears to turn without us for a time while we go out and seek something. Anything. While we pursue either of the twin virtues of Aestus and Animus. Passion and Intellect. In that vain, I will attempt here to compile a list of events, occurrences, and experiences in which I would like to partake before they grind my bones beneath the steady pressing weight of soil and footsteps. Here goes: [Realize that I am far too much of a cynic to ever believe that I will successfully cross any of these off of my list -- let's call it (post-mortum, of course) an unfinished list of regrets and failings or, if you will, Unobtained Longings.] 1. Learn to never live up to the expectations of others, serving self first. Always. 2. Publish something of some significance, even if only to a single reader. 3. Experience my own psyche firsthand with the aid of psychedelics. I am thinking, in particular, of DMT. 4. Experience the joy of marijuana amongst friends. 5. Sift the soil of foreign lands between my fingers. 6. Experience the wormwood dreams of absinthe. 7. Sink the ink of the twin virtues deep beneath my flesh as a physical representation of their beauty, as well as an homage to their importance. 8. Spend a moment free of a tumultuous mind. More to come... |

The Everything TestThere are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)
