Dateline 3-7-2014

I'm feeling kind of exhausted from hanging out in limbo. I feel a big part of it is about this job hunt. I currently have all my eggs in one basket because throughout this hiring process there hasn't been a single sign that the manager doesn't want to hire me. I even signed an offer letter. I feel like Tom Hanks in The Money Pit. Whenever he asks anyone how long the project will take the answer is two weeks, only in my case I keep getting two days.

I have fantasies as to what I'm going to do with my first paycheck, being able to afford good healthy food once I'm done with this bucket of food, being able to buy the supplies to start or complete the projects I'm working on, being able to pay my rent, etc. I mainly want to be able to silence the voice in the back of my head that asking, "What are you going to do if this doesn't work out?"

Because of this exhaustion I'm going to schedule today to be pretty light by implementing my resolution to focus on one project for the day. So today I'm going to focus on my resolution to watch all the AFI's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time.

As always I will continue to work on my daily resolutions, but once I'm done it's movie marathon time!

I Mean "Piano Concerto Number 5", The "Wolfgang" was surprised to find they actually enjoyed the "Klairenetten Konzert", Livin' La "Vivadali" "Le Quarttro Stagioni" Loco, and "Pachebel" used a "Kanon" to shoot his "In D" film, How "Matthaus Passion" Got His Groove "Bach" II Electric Boogaloo, Ladies and Gentlemen I give you "Antonin Dvorak" and his "New World" Order "Symphony"!!!, Oh no "Rachmaninoff" made a "Piano Concerto 2" (think too.), The "Albinoni" (think mini albino) and his amigo "Adagio" are the worst candidates "in" town to become "sol minore"'s, No need for a new mnemonic as song 11 is Matthaus Passion by Bach yet again, "Friederich" Nietzsche can't "Handel" the "Messiah," I wish this "Symphony" wasn't written by "Beethoven" so I could reference the movie "7" and say what's in the Bachs.
