is that noise coming from inside my head?: More of the Same

More of the Same

Whenever I think of my current post-graduation state, I am reminded of D.H. Lawrence's short story, "The Rocking Horse Winner." Every waking day I spend cooped up inside the house--because I have no money for going out--serves to remind me that school's over. Ergo, I have no reason to ask my parents for money. Worse, I even hear the walls of our home whisper to me, "You are unemployed! You have no money! you have no money!" Damn walls.

Anyhoo, yeah, that's pretty much it; I have no money. I cannot ask for money without my mother nagging me about the value of hard-earned money. Mothers.

So, anyway, I guess all I'm leading to is that I'm going to try and be a studio contestant on Wheel of Fortune. I want some money, dammit!

A lot of people I've met tell me that I'm too quiet; as a result, I have come to believe it myself. However, as one friend so perfectly put it: My silence can be deafening, but my noise can be just as deafening. Because of my retiring nature, some people also have the impression that I'm kind, polite and naive. Perhaps, my blog will wipe out their misguided notions.
