Greetings and salutations!
Well here i am, with a tumblr.
I’m not really sure how this came to be, I was looking for new jobs on craigslist and researching marketing companies and somehow my brain train thought going to tumblr made sense in this process…. and now it seems there are no job related webpages open on my desktop. Well, despite my expertise in procrastinating, I have always said that I wanted to have my own blog; just so I can keep all my favorite things from my internet travels in one place. I do however have a terrible history with not being able to keep a single journal for longer than a few months; start the count down.
So, onward. A bit about me i suppose, I always had an introductory entry in my previous journals (mental note: go back and read intro in my Backstret Boys diary. I wrote the whole journal as though i was talking to AJ….). I’m a single 24 year old living on my own on Long Island, not far from where I grew up. I work in the same town I grew up in and my brother and my mother work at the same company as me. My dad just moved to (northern) Cali in August and I’m thinking about heeding his advice. My current mission: RELOCATE! I’m setting out on a journey to detach myself from my roots. Get out while i still can. Branch out. Explore myself in a new setting. Run away. You know, have a quarter life crisis.
I’ve got that “Big fish in a small pond” feeling that is not unique to just this twenty something college grad. Annie (my sister from another mister. Shout out!) has this same feeling, so she applied for the Peace Corps. I want to go to Africa for a month and help the sick children (no medical experience, hope that’s not a problem). I am little apprehensive of such a big move, so for now I’ve got my sights set on Boston. In six months (now that it’s documented and out to the internet, I hope I don’t fall on my face with this one). This comes about at a coincidental time considering I was just put on probation at work. Basically “If you fuck up this next project, you’re probably gonna get sacked.” I’ve been there for just over a year and a half. First job out of college. First conversation like that. Cried in front of my manager, sweet! I cried mainly because of the confrontation of it all, and that if i get fired i can’t put them as a reference. Not because I care that deeply about my job. Hopefully its the swift kick in the bum that I need to get me to Boston.
We shall see…..
