maybe
you are frozen in
time the way i am
and the way i've been
for a while now
a kind of statis
stuck here and stuck
in this moment in time
and on pause
but
i don't know why
i didn't ask for this
it was just sort of done to me.

One of the companies that I looked at for internships has internships that I'm interested in, but it also has open positions that I'm interested in and that I think I'd be a good fit for. Several years ago I was considered a strong candidate for and received an offer for a position at a similar company when I was in Missouri, but I didn't take it, and the decision for not taking it is kind of complex.
This was in January 2020, before the Pandemic, and my situation at the time was that I was working at the tractor warehouse and the hotel, I was saving and investing very aggressively and paying down my debts to improve my credit score. I had a few ideas for 2020 at the time, but, I really didn't have any definite plans.
I was thinking that I could continue working two jobs, both of which were full time, and 80 + hours a week most of the time. I figured that I could continue saving and investing and improving my credit score until some kind of opportunity popped up, and I saw three possible opportunities.
One possible opportunity was that I might somehow end up in a relationship with someone, I didn't have anyone definite in mind, but I thought that I might meet someone new and things would just happen right away, or maybe an existing friendship might become romantic, or an ongoing hook-up might become serious.
The second possible opportunity that I thought about was, was that I might pursue some kind of business opportunity if the right one popped up, either doing something that was interested in doing regardless of whether it was profitable or not, or pursuing a business opportunity that I was absolutely sure was profitable.
The third possible opportunity that I thought about pursuing was going back to college at UMKC, I had already been accepted for the fall semester of 2019 but I withdrew before the semester started, and I figured that I might come back around to this idea if the circumstances seemed right.
...
In my mind, capitalizing on any one of these three possible opportunities would have been easiest if I had money, and the ability to borrow money, and that's why I wanted to continue focusing on saving, investing, and working on my credit score.
Taking a new job, even if it was one that I was interested in, would have taking me in a different direction. In retrospect, I ended up in a totally different direction anyway. I ended up in Texas, but in January of 2020 I was thinking that if I continued to work at the tractor factory and the hotel, at some point during 2020 I would be able to pursue one of the three opportunities that I thought about pursuing, it was just a matter of one of the three possible opportunities presenting itself, and then, I'd pounce.
Anyway. I was at the Library in Lewisville. I went to Lewisville for lunch, and it was a really long drive getting there, not in milage, but time, so I figured that I would go to the nearest library, which was in Lewisville, rather than heading all the way back to Arlington to get some work done at home, or at the campus library, or the city library. I didn't get anything done. Well, I didn't get anything concrete done. I did manage to reflect about the last time I applied for a similar position, and why I thought that taking the position wasn't right at the time, but I still have to think about if pursuing such a position is right at this point in time, and I think that it is. The reason is that I'm looking for an internship, and if I can find a Spring 2023 internship, that would be really great, however, pursuing an Summer 2023 internship, and landing a position in the meantime is preferable.
I did miss two career related opportunities at school, there was a work-study workshop a few days ago, and a career fair that happened today. I tried to find the campus career center the other day, but I ran into an issue: sometimes maps and directory of the campus list either the names, or the purpose of the building, there might be Preston Hall or Ransom Hall, and there might be the Science Building, or the Engineering Building, and so on. Well, I remember walking across campus and I came across a building, once, that just said Career Center or UTA Career Center, or something, but on the map, and on the directory, there is no such building, the directory listed a career center, but when I went to the location listed on the directory, it took me to the Student Administration Building, which I'm guessing had a career center or something, or maybe they administered the work-study program. One possibility is that, and this is probably the situation, I think that the Financial Aid Office is in the Student Administration Building, and I think that work-study is related to Financial Aid, and I remember that the FAFSA application asks if applicants to specify if they are interested in work-study grants, and that work-study grants are limited, and needs-based, or allocated on the basis or need or something.
Well, anyway. If there is such a thing as an academic year, then today is the start of the academic weekend. I feel guilty for not doing anything objectively productive today, but, it's important that I reflect on things that have happened in the past in order to formulate an approach to things that are happening in the present. I'm going to make a firm commitment to apply for an open position at the company, and mention that my intention is to participate in an internship with the company later on in the future, and also work on some of my course work.
...
I have to keep looking for some kind of work-study program, an internship, or a co-op program. The internship that I was for fall, but, since it was a 6 month program stretching from July to December, I'm guessing that candidates have already been selected, so I'm not going to complete the application there. Then, after my first class today I came across another internship that I would be interested in for the Summer of 2023, however, that's ten months to a year out into the future, and I think that I might change my mind at that point.
I dropped one class to bring me back down to six units per semester, the only reason I was trying to take nine units was to apply for the transportation fellowship, but, that prospect is kind of moot right now.
...
I was thinking about buying a new outfit or something, but I have a million outfits. I really don't need to buy any more outfits. In fact I really think that I shouldn't be buying much of anything until I find work. I'm still somewhat conflicted about the work search.
Well, I just came to a conclusion. I shouldn't be looking for specific positions. I mean. I didn't have a specific position in mind anyway. What I mean is. I shouldn't be browsing open positions. I should be looking for, and looking at internships and co-op positions. I'm applying for one right now.
This looks like it's going to be a long process. Applying for the internship / co-op, and doing it in a way that makes me an appealing candidate.
...
So what happened today? well. there was a kind of monsoon kind of rain storm in the Dallas - Fort Worth area, and my area was kind of hard hit. In fact. There is another section of the apartment complex that was ordered to evacuate after having flooded.
The weather kind of effected me in a way that I wasn't really expecting. I wasn't going to buy a parking permit because I consider the distance from my residence to the campus to be perfectly walkable. but. it's really not walkable in the rain. I wore this wool jacket that I bought at an army surplus store and it started to smell like a goat once it got wet.
I need to apply for 1 position before the day, well, night ends, but I'll come around to that.
anyway. i bought a parking permit and looked for a place to park, the parking lot I thought would have space, did not have space, so I parked in this other parking lot, and walked around campus and stuff. got a student ID and checked out the campus library. the campus library is open 24 hours a day, and I really want to see how that works. I was exploring and stuff, and, then I checked the time, and it turned out to be about 30 minutes before class started. The business building is close to the street, so even though it's a smoke-free campus, it's not a far walk to get off-campus. more or less.
anyway. I think i finished all the stuff. all the major challenges of fixing stuff around my apartment. and. I'm excited because one section of the wall in my closet looks almost like it could be a painting in its own right. like it could be a painting of it's own. almost. i really like it. but here is the thing.
I want to take a picture of it, but. I almost feel like people might get the wrong idea of it. like. as though i'm clueless about craftsmanship or something. and what i mean is.
i think that the work that i've performed on my wall should be judged according to the standards of artistry, rather than the standards of craftsmanship.
anyway. i think i'll apply for a position. and then take a look at the stuff for school.
I don't know if any more storms are expected for the coming days.
oh and about the job search. i remember. for a while i was getting flooded with emails and text messages for positions with this or that company, this was back before the june road trip. and. for some reason i really didn't respond to anything. but there was a position that i accepted, but didn't complete the on-boarding process with. i thought the position was. well. i don't know what i thought but i didn't take the position, because i was skeptical about the whole thing. but when i took the first road trip and passed through Nashville, it occurred to me that i shouldn't have been as skeptical as i was.
anyway.

one thing that I didn't know, until going on this road trip, was that chip cards can actually be held by the card chip reader.

"The Young Woman who is the Post Office"
The rural carrier associate is a
young woman with a lisp that lingers
long enough to wreck your week, and
fiery jade eyes that burn in your
mind every subsequent week.
I try to buy stamps, twenty is too much for
one stamp, and she can't break bills, and
I can't have them all, I ask to trade stamps,
one for one, she's not sure that's okay,
so she phones a friend. she asks
if I have exact change and I say:
yes! I do.
...
i think that the above post was from after my first roadtrip. it had to have been. the post is dated for early july, and the road trip was during june, and then i was in the hospital for about half of july. and that's one thing i have to look into. the hospital bills. shit.
...
first day of class. it was kind of an ordeal because it was raining.
...
I'm hungry. i had catfish. for lunch. and flounder.
...
I put my class schedule on my calendar. I updated my LinkedIn.
I did some organizing.
I did some additional work on my closet. paint and glue take longer to dry than i originally imagined.
um. i didn't mention this here, but i painted my patio after having painted a painting on my patio. i made a painting out of my patio, and then followed it up with painting the patio in a kind of concrete colored gray. and now it more or less looks like a patio that never had anything special done to it. there is one issue: even though I used interior / exterior paint. it seems to bubble up from time to time. so i usually just pop the paint bubbles like concrete, and then leave it at that. i'm sure that at some point i'll paint over them, and if they bubble up again, then i'll just pop them again.
i have to apply for a position before i head to sleep.
it's hot, but it's also windy. so leaving the window open has it's limitations.
well. now it's raining. i applied for a position, and this position has nothing to do with finance, or even with business.
...
I want to rethink this:
School Starts tomorrow.
I have to look for work.
I have to repair a few things with my apartment.
and I have to organize my personal things.
school starting. and looking for work play into each other in the sense that i need to look for work that is relevant to my studies, that works from a scheduling and commute standpoint.
but there is also the competing issue of just needing to find something that pays the bills.
and it's possible that there might be something that isn't relevant to my studies. but is something that i'm interested in. and it pays the bills. something like this would be working at art & crafts supplies store. another thing would be. there was this furniture store that I came across when I was in Illinois that I found interesting. I don't know how to describe it because it wasn't exactly a furniture store, and it wasn't exactly a home improvement store. it did sell furniture, and it did have displays of different types of engineered hardwoods, tiles, and synthetic woods, and carpets.
and then. as far as looking for work goes. there is this landscaping thing that i think is interesting. when I was in the looney bin there was a guy there who said he has a landscaping business. and. the only reason i'm thinking about this is because there was a person on twitter who posted photographs of her front yard, and how she transformed it from a front yard lawn, into a front yard forest. in fact i'm still looking for that photograph.
i got sidetracked goofing off on twitter. and all i was really doing was looking for that photograph of that one lady two transformed her front yard from a front yard lawn. into a front yard forest preserve.
...
i have to get my thoughts together. but i have to take a nap first.
school starts tomorrow.
i have to look for work.
i have work on things around my apartment.
i have to get organized.
the school issue bleeds into the work issue. in the sense that i have to find work with a work schedule that works with my school schedule, and maybe even works commute wise. or i guess i mean. something close to home and school.
...
alright. well i applied for 1 position. and i did work on something around my apartment. i worked on the wall in my closet. i'm dealing with one issue. that. is kind of a silly issue. but kind of a serious issue. but not a totally serious issue. it's the issue of having too much fucking paint. i bought one gallon of gray paint, that i really didn't need, and one gallon of black paint, an amount that i definitely didn't need. anyway. i'm kind of using the black paint as kind of. well. i don't know. i mean. i don't know how to explain how i'm using it. my intention isn't to paint the wall black.
...
i found a position that i want to apply for.
so I applied. now the other thing.
what can i do around my apartment?
I had a flower pot, and i tried to plant a bouquet of flowers that i bought a few days ago, but it didn't work. um. the other day i also saw a plant that i wanted to buy, but i didn't buy it. so. that was that.
i have to make a point of submitting one application a day,
...
i went out to buy a pipe tobacco, and, for some reason, I selected a tobacco shop in Hurst as the place that I would take directions to. I ended up buying a pipe, some cigarettes, and a brass ring featuring a kind of figurine of Ganesha. and then. while driving back. i stopped at a kind of tex-mex style restaurant and ate there, i felt like i didn't eat as much as i would normally eat, given how much i enjoy eating, but i ate enough to be full.
okay. today. i want to get a few things done: (1) submit at least 1 application or resume (2) do some kind of work on my apartment after submitting an application.
one of my neighbors gave me a few packets of ramen that she said she didn't want to eat because she didn't like the flavor, but i think that i threw away my cooking pot a while back.
...
Notes from Arlington, Texas # 70
i think what i'll do is file the disability claim with the answer that i am capable of working.
so first thing. sleep. second thing. file my disability claim.
i've gotten really fat. i've always been husky. but i feel like there was a time when i was getting lean. when i'm thin. it seems to worry people. i mean. i'm not thin.
good lord. nose hairs. i shaved all that fucking hair off, and my nose hairs were like a goatee practically.
i was at the free play arcade here in arlington, and i think that i almost saw someone from vegas. but. i think it was actually vladamir putin. i mean. like vehicle wise.
...
i found one solution to the nose hairs issue, cutting them back can be a headache, and i think, at one point in the past, i used to pluck them out using a tweezer, but there is this small set of scissors that i have with rounded tips that comes with most sewing set, so i'm guessing that it's a sewing scissors, well, i use that thing to cut my nose hairs.
the thing about nose hairs, and the particular challenge that i face regarding nose hairs, is that my nose is short. and i think that most hairs, including nose hairs, have a maximum growth length beyond which they no longer grow. and i think that the maximum growth length of nose hairs exceeds the length of my nose. my really short nose.
what else? who is the someone from vegas? the girl from rainbow boulevard. for some reason, that post seems like it was such a long time ago. and i think i wrote it shortly after the end of my road trip, and subsequent stay in the hospital. so maybe just 1 + 2/3 of a month ago.
...
there are two competing issues when it comes to looking for work. on the one hand. i should be looking for something relevant to my degree. or at least. something that i'm interested in. and could potentially get given that i'm a student. and. that being a student should stand in for a lack of relevant experience.
on the other hand. i might be just fine looking for something that just sort of. you know. covers my expenses with. you know. something left over.
...
I applied for 1 position. I don't think that I included a cover letter. I was thinking about including a cover letter. in fact. including a cover letter was something that i really wanted to do, but for some reason. it slipped my mind.
...
Sometimes I try to donate old clothes that I don't use anymore, but I can never find donation bins, and some donation stations aren't open in the middle of the night. so, i end up just throwing old clothes out, or leaving them near the garbage can for anyone who might want them. I don't know where those ultimately end up, and they might just end up in the trash can anyway.
I need to get a few things from the store. mainly just sodas. i can probably run to the gas station later, in the middle of the night since the gas station is always open, but i'm not doing anything right now and i really don't know what else to do.
i few days ago i thought about going on another. a fucking third. cross-country road trip. but i only made it as far as. somewhere in Dallas. I guess. i was taking the side streets in as much of a north-east direction as the signs could direct me, but it was rush hour, and i hardly got anywhere before i got really frustrated with the traffic and just headed home. i stopped at a convenience store, but, they didn't have any cigarettes, so, i was in a bad mood. i bought a jug of mango juice, and drank it.
I also thought about. i don't know. changing the appearance of my blog.
I changed it.
What other crap? am I thinking about?
I still kind of want to drive to Alaska. I think it would be the coolest thing ever. I mean, other people have done it before, but. I haven't done it before. and I think it would be the most amazing thing that I could do. i have to take care of a number of things before i do something like this. i have to take care of any traffic tickets and tolls that i've racked up over these past few months while taking road trips. and then i have to have work done on my car. i have to look for work too. i am nearly cleared out financially. i'm lucky that nothing major happened to my car during this road trip, like during my road trip through Louisiana.

What is on my List of Things to do?
I won't worry about that right now.
What i was thinking was that. well.
sometimes i think funny things, and
sometimes i remember funny things,
and there are times when i wish that
i had written those funny thoughts
and things down somewhere. i don't
always get a chance to do that.

it hasn't really mattered to me in the

i ordered a three topping pizza the other day, even though this particular pizza place didn't really have a "make your own pizza" option. i think i had spinach, onions, and artichokes, but these were actually pasta options. i tried adding shrimp, but the lady at the counter said that they didn't offer shrimp on their pizzas, so i didn't have shrimp pizza.

for food. i went to the grocery store, and bought a half-gallon of ice-cream. and i ate it all.
so this fellowship opportunity is something of a no-go for right now. maybe next semester. even though there would have been aspects of my application that would have been lacking, like my academic record, i don't really have one, considering that i'm going into my first semester, there is another issue. i really don't have anyone who can provide me with a letter of recommendation on short notice.
Obtaining letters of recommendation can be kind of an issue for me. i don't really know anyone. i don't really make very many friends. i don't really network.

I never received payment for the unpaid wages claim that i filed with the Texas Workforce Commission. I'm really glad I stopped working for that janitorial company after 2 days. it would have been just a larger amount of unpaid wages.
one of the issues with the unpaid wages claim that I submitted to the Texas Workforce Commission is that the investigator assigned to my claim kept calling me and asking for information that i already listed in the initial claim that i filed.
my guess is that he was hoping that i wouldn't come around to responding, and then would disposition the claim as: claimant unresponsive, or something. and then end the issue that way.
anyway. i think that i filed a claim for around 110 dollars or something. so it's not a big deal.

there was an issue with one of the copyright claims that i filed a while back. the claim was kicked back as filed incorrectly, or, that the claim couldn't be processed as submitted, and would have to be resubmitted. and that's just another thing that i'm not totally going to deal with right now.
i think that this particular copyright claim. and the unpaid wages claim. are both things that i could pursue until i receive a satisfactory resolution. right now. i'm just not going to deal with these things.

Notes from Arlington, Texas #73
These last few months have been extremely strange. I think I went on the exact same road trip twice. I think that I'm going to stay away from doing any kind of adventures or sill stuff for the time being. I have to catch up with whatever kind of garbage I sort of, got myself into over these last few months. I'm not sure why things have turned out this way, but it's not a huge deal, at least, I think that this is all fixable.
...
what were the things that i need to fix? well. these adventures that i've gone on left my credit cards maxed out, my checking accounts drained, my investment accounts empty, and. well. everything is kind of a catastrophe.
...
i think that i sold most of my bullion coins at pawn shops and coin dealers in other states. i took quite a bit of losses on those fucking things. those were pointless places to put my money.

I remember a time when I felt happy, and now, I'm not sure I feel any which way about anything.
The only thing I feel now is sadness. I'm heading back to Texas.
...
I don't know where I was when I wrote that post. I was probably in a different state, as in, a state other than Texas, but probably in a different mental state as well. right now I'm clearing out my list of things to do. there are a lot of things that I need to take care of. I kind of need to look for work again. and I kind of want to work nights, but this might not work with my class schedule, since most class times assume that people work during the day, and, well, most people do work during the day.
...
I'm cleaning up old posts, and I'm going to turn them all into one gigantic post. that's the idea here.

I remember a time when I felt happy, and now, I'm not sure I feel any which way about anything.
The only thing I feel now is sadness. I'm heading back to Texas.
...
I don't know where I was when I wrote that post. I was probably in a different state, as in, a state other than Texas, but probably in a different mental state as well. right now I'm clearing out my list of things to do. there are a lot of things that I need to take care of. I kind of need to look for work again. and I kind of want to work nights, but this might not work with my class schedule, since most class times assume that people work during the day, and, well, most people do work during the day.
...
I'm cleaning up old posts, and I'm going to turn them all into one gigantic post. that's the idea here.
...
I still kind of want to drive to Alaska. I think it would be the coolest thing ever. I mean, other people have done it before, but. I haven't done it before. and I think it would be the most amazing thing that I could do. i have to take care of a number of things before i do something like this. i have to take care of any traffic tickets and tolls that i've racked up over these past few months while taking road trips. and then i have to have work done on my car. i have to look for work too. i am nearly cleared out financially. i'm lucky that nothing major happened to my car during this road trip, like during my road trip through Louisiana.

What is on my List of Things to do?
I won't worry about that right now.
What i was thinking was that. well.
sometimes i think funny things, and
sometimes i remember funny things,
and there are times when i wish that
i had written those funny thoughts
and things down somewhere. i don't
always get a chance to do that.
* * *
it hasn't really mattered to me in the
longest time.
...
Ken Yamat, is the one who did this and Kenneth L. Yamat, is also the
one who also did this they did it, but is it Kenneth or Ken?
well It all depends on who you ask and when you ask.
* * *
I have work tomorrow early in the
afternoon. the stock market ran up,
and then abruptly dipped the other
day. Still, my limit order wasn't filled.
not that I exactly want to to be filled.
i mean. i do want to to be filled but
i don't know if i want a drop that big.
* * *
there was this thing that happened the other day. I got an email regarding chocolates, and, i was thinking about sending the blue box recipient a box of chocolates. but. i don't even know. there is no telling what that could lead to. and i mean that in the sense that there are negative consequences of sending a box of chocolates that I'm worried about.
* * *
but here is another thing, maybe chocolates could be a hint for something else. i have no idea. well. i don't know really. like maybe, maybe the second job stuff and sending a gift with my resume. it's an idea, but i'm not sure how well it would work.
* * *
working on cleaning out my email box. also working on cleaning up my calendar of stuff that i can do whenever.
* * *
benefits elections. i can do that later.
* * *
i may need to check my mailbox at the UPS Store. i have to actually go out there, but i think that i actually went there not too long ago. i really don't want to check it more than i need to because checking it requires a special journey.
* * *
this is where Sanford street 117 and the Painting the Patio post switch from one to the other.
...
it's been a while since I had a mailbox at the UPS store. a long time. I thought that simply having a mailbox would be enough for most of the things that I need an address for, but, for some reason, i need to have a legitimate residential address for a lot of things that require an address, and a mailbox, a private mailbox or even a post office box isn't enough to satisfy those address requirements.
after the 1-year lease of the mailbox at the UPS store, I didn't bother to renew. there seems to be an issue with my residential mailbox, however. the city postal carrier doesn't seem to make much of an effort picking up the outgoing mail. it might be that he doesn't bother picking it up daily, or, maybe he just never picks it up.
...
I'm really tired. I've been staying up late. I haven't been doing anything interesting. Other than painting my patio. I kind of like the way it looks.
The two main things that I need to focus on right now are my social security disability application, stuff for college, and cleaning and repairing things around my apartment.
the disability application is due in a few fucking days, the college stuff is due a few fucking days after that, and the apartment stuff really doesn't have a due date or deadline.
...
I'm really thinking about forgetting about the social security disability application for now. the reason being that. even if i finish the application by the deadline, which is in a few days. it takes months for a decision to be made, and then several more months to receive a first payment. i'm better off just forgetting about if for now, having my claim denied, and then maybe reapplying later on down the line, and anyway. i might be able to find work before then.
...
i bought a new computer, but it is way slower than my previous computer. way slower.
...
Letters from Sanford Street # 44
Oh my god. Jesus. My lord.
I'm uploading all of these Submittable poems to my Blog. Many of them haven't been here before. Many of them I haven't already scraped and posted to my blog. The reason why is that. While a submission is under consideration by the magazine or journal, it's important that the work in the submission doesn't appear any where else, either online or in print, so I may have just left them in Submittable without posting them here, and later forgot to collect them when they were rejected.
I'm at the Copyright website, and checking it out.
* * *
I want to try getting a copyright on something, just to fill out the form, and pay the fee, and see how the whole process works. I don't think that I'll eventually make any money out of this. I don't think that I'm going to make any money from anything that I copyright. This is just an experiment.
...
The previous section was from my Letters from Sanford Street series. I think that it was posted some time in September of 2020. and I think, it had to have been before I filed my first copyright. and I think. my first piece of writing that I submitted to the copyright office was "The Senior Director."
...
I deleted my Plenty of Fish account. I think that I had about 8 months left on my subscription, but, it was more or less useless anyway. I'm not sure that I really want to pursue a relationship, or, anything like that, even in my profile I think that I noted that I'm not really looking for a relationship or any kind of commitment. There wasn't an option to describe exactly why I don't want to use the dating app any more, so I just selected the option "I give up" as the reason for deleting my account.

Notes from Arlington, Texas # 71
I need to think for a minute. I was thinking: maybe everything since leaving Missouri has been a, kind of a two year manic episode, that's kind of still going on right now. I think it's kind of important to. maybe it's kind of important to take regular vacations or something. like small ones.
I finally sorted through all the stuff I had from the hospital, and all the weird shit I bought during the road trip. and I came across my discharge paperwork, and I have an appointment. a follow up appointment on the 15th.
* * *
This is a nightmare. and. well. I've been here before. so. I know what to expect. vaguely.
...
So, after the road trip that landed me in the hospital, I went on a similar road trip the following month. I'm back home. I'm not working.
There are a few things related to school that I'm working on. One is getting into a 3rd class. Part of the reason I'm trying to get into this third class is because I'm applying for this fellowship, it's kind of a research grant, and it comes with a monthly stipend. Anyway, the fellowship requires that I'm enrolled full-time, which is 9 units for a graduate student.
So I'm trying to get into this third class, and there is this kind of application process involved.
...
I have to try not to feel overwhelmed by the things that I have to deal with. None of this is too serious. None of this is too challenging.
...
I completed my application for the third class that I'm trying to get into, but I also managed to complete my Social Security Disability application as well. What happened with the disability application is that, I really didn't want to go through all the paperwork involved, much of the information required would have been kind of a headache to go through and track down. I was lucky because someone from the social security administration reached out to me over the phone, and submitted a revised application based on my responses to his questions.
I was somewhat amused by some of my own responses to his questions.
So now I just have to work on my fellowship application.
and then look for work.

today was a kind of a normal day i guess. i'm tired. sometimes i need to smoke, and i go outside, and someone is always there. or arrives shortly after i arrive. what is the hiatus? i think that a hiatus is when something is delayed.
whatever i'm waiting for. i still seem to be waiting for it.
i also have to remember to buy sneakers. i already have shoes and boots, but i think that i have boots that would actually meet the specifications listed in the job description, so i may be able to wear those if my boots don't arrive. i might need to start shopping now actually.
or, to put it another way, i may need to actually start shopping now.
* * *
i'm super tired. what i think is. it's getting hot again. i think i need to just stay inside. i think it's the actual sun that is actually burning me right now. so tired.

I'm going through these old posts, and editing them somewhat, making minor changes here and there, but nothing too fabulous. I remember this email. and. I don't know if I would call this hate-mail or what. I have no idea, the person doesn't seem to like me, although. I think I may know the person, but I don't think that I really know who this is from. I don't know. I'm irritated. I was discouraged.
* * *
this is an email i received through the blogger contact form.
* * *
Yo, quit being a simp. She isn't going to give you a reply just for
mailing her a 900 dollar ring. You're wasting your time and money over
love that does not exist. She already moved on and is already focusing on
her career and social life. Women themselves are flawed and are not that
perfect themselves just like us. I'm concerned for your mental health
because it seems that you're OBSESSED with her and its not a good thing.
You think I don't understand anything about love but I have tried it and it
didn't work out. That girl tries to get my hopes high but it ultimately
fails when she doesnt give me attention during our causal date while at the
same time working (yes, it was badly planned out). I had to move on
because it was a waste of time for me. I hope you learn to move on and do
good for yourself. Otherwise, you're gonna learn the hard way. I wish you
the best in life. If not, then you're gonna go down the rabbit hole.
Regards,
Jonathan Price

I don't remember what this purchase was. I think the original thing that I sent was a bracelet. and. she never got it. I think. i did get my money back for all those purchases, but there were a number of things that i had sent to myself, to my private mailbox at the UPS store. I don't know why i did all this. I don't know how i was so out of my mind.

i am really tired. i don't know what is coming next. i'm so tired. the climate here is so different from the way the climate was in either missouri or nevada or california. i realize now how different things can be between different places. it was so hot in nevada that it had to have been hotter than here. i usually stayed indoors in nevada because it was so hot. interviewees. when i came across that word, i was surprised that it was actually spelled that way.
there are times when i think that i should have stayed in missouri, but whatever. really. whatever. i miss <Text Removed>.
i took a hiatus from work for a while. i just can't make it there. it's too far. it's too hot. i'm sure that i will survive this. but i don't always know how to do things in a way that makes very much sense to me. i'm tired. what else do i have to sell.

i realized something. in life. it's kind of important to conform. it's just the way it is i guess.
i'm at the point in my life where i'm struggling just to put food on the table. for one. i don't have a microwave, and i'm afraid of the stove.
i don't know. my thoughts are all over the place.
i bought a paper newspaper.
i was at a coffee shop and i spoke with one of the cashier's and a kind of awakening. i think the reason i didn't really fit in when i was in missouri was that. i wasn't super political. i dislike spending all day arguing about this or that stuff.
let's see. what happened. it's never clear to me which political movement i should side with. we all just want to rip each other apart and give each other shit i think.
what do i do for money? what do i do for money?
i think that we are in that universe where everyone has to take sides and duke it out to the death. or maybe this is all bullshit. i don't really know.

i'm so irritated about about everything
i read some articles a while back about a concept called virtue signaling, and the issue is whether or not people actually care about the issues, or if they are just doing things because the social order requires them to, or to look good or whatever.
and i think that those kinds of questions are a kind of like intellect signaling.

I was in a lousy mood so i went kyaking. The place pinged for flower mound. And of course i thought id run into <Text Removed>there. And of course i didn't. Anyway. I had a near death experience. And pretty much almost died. But i was in knee deep water so it was a bullshit near death experience.
But about other things. I dont know why i get so cynical. I don't know why i get so fruatrated. I wonder if ill get into college. I wonder if.i have the aptitude. I really dont know.

I don't even know what to do. This place is way too hot. Way too hot. The AC unit is constantly rumbling. And it's driving me nuts. I came to texas on a whim and I'm concerned that this may have been the wrong decision. Why did I leave Missouri somewhat out of nowhere. I don't even know. The last thing that I remember is that things were slowly falling apart for me there. Why did I fucking come down here?

Hi Ken, I hope all is well. I have been a reader of your blog for some time, I truly hope you pick things back up again. I just want to say that there are people out there that truly cares for your well being, never think that you are alone.
You may think that the choices you made are poor or whatever it is, but things happen for a reason right? You made a choice to come to Texas and whether or not it is on a whim, you are there and experiencing life. Who do you know right now, that can pack everything up and just move to a random location? It takes a lot of guts to do that.
Your posts takes people on a roller coaster, it goes up and down. You know what I feel honestly about your feelings about Kristin? You need to let that go, it looks like she has moved on with her relationship and career. You want to spend your time and energy on what is in front of you NOW, not what has happened in the past. Sure, things that you have previously experienced in the past may sculpt how you are as a person now but don't linger in the past. It is time to move on, it will hurt for me to say this but I don't think Kristen ever cared. If she did, you two would be together now. So move on from this part of your life. There are plenty of fishes in the water, there are plenty of wonderful women out there waiting for their future partner. I wished that I had taken this same advice that I am giving you now, had I wasted 10 years of my life with someone who never gave a damn. I finally moved on and found my life partner. I hope you are able to find this person sometime in the future, because you WILL know when this special person steps in your life. Trust me, you will know it. It is not Kristen and unfortunately, it has never been Kristen.
As for your career, I feel as though you are very good with literature and very poetic. Have you considered writing your own book? Just a thought.
All in all, I wish you the best of luck. I hope things start looking more positive. You are a great person, continue to be you. Live the life that you dream. Don't sleep in a sleeping bag, spend money on yourself. Take care of yourself because no one else will. Love yourself and BE WHO YOU ARE.
Your avid reader,
Jamie

i'm really thinking about going on a road trip. just for the weekend. i'm not thinking about relocating. realistically, i can't relocate.
there are a few problems with the job i currently have. i never seem to be able to get to work. i really can't. i think the company is fine, but i just can't seem to get to work. i have to resign at some point and then find something closer to where i live.
i can't relocate again, not for a while, i've hemorrhaged too much cash in just this one move.
this move was a huge disaster. i don't have any other options really at this point.
I'm actually stuck here.

i'm still thinking. i'm going to go on this little road trip of whatever.
i need to look for a job closer to home, but, i'm not sure how much i can really get done during the weekend.
i keep reading articles about career this, and career that, and shit like that.
and
when i was in cameron missouri, i was on track to make 70 thousand that year, just in wages.
i didn't have anything that would traditionally be defined as a career, but i enjoyed it.
i didn't have shit else to worry about, other than going to work, and going to sleep.
i didn't have some girlfriend constantly making me feel insecure about myself.
or nagging kids unhappy with whatever life i could afford to give them.
or some wife telling me we need a bigger house with a bigger mortgage.
i didn't have any friends i had to compete with in the social pecking order.
i didn't have to worry about who had the biggest dick, or the hottest girlfriend, or the fastest car or the biggest house.
i was actually happy. i was actually just in my own universe, and i was the master of that fucking universe, i did what i fucking wanted to do, and i fucking enjoyed it.
and i was actually really happy with that set up.
i have to think. what the hell do i do now.
i have to look for a new job, and i'll do that when i get back.

yeah. i came back from this little road trip of mine. i can't exactly sleep right now. for one thing. it is kind of hot. for some reason this room always makes me light headed.
it was a long road trip. and honestly. i felt like i can get better sleep on the road as opposed to in this apartment.
i don't know what to say.
i can't sleep. so i figured that i might as well work on something.
i was thinking about organizing my stuff.
i figure that i might as well jot down some notes, and maybe work on my calendar.

i'm not sure how many times i've already said this, but i went to the public safety office to try to get a driver's licence, and i won't be able to get one until next year, when there is availability for an appointment.
whatever.
it may make sense to go back to my job at the airport.
it's temporary, and seasonal, so maybe i don't have to worry too much about anything.
but maybe they hired someone else for that position.
so maybe i'll just figure that whole thing out later.
june 15th is when i left cameron missouri
maybe sooner. i have no idea.
so it's been two months in texas.
these are strange times for me.
* * *
thinking back to when this all started. i'm doing things that i've been wanting to do, but i think that i'm doing them sooner than i wanted to.
i've been wanting to move out of my dad's house for a while. i guess i finally did, but i really think this was earlier than i wanted.
i think that if i took my time with things, i would have relocated to the kansas city area instead, went to UMKC, and then looked for a job, or career or whatever after graduation, in the Kansas City area.
i had the fucking money to do it.
* * *
I think that i probably would have continued working two jobs for another year or two if i had my way with things. if i stayed in cameron, missouri. saved up more money and really did something cool.
* * *
let's think things through again. my first choice would have been that nothing changed for another two years. i would have kept working at the warehouse and at the hotel, living with my dad, and saving and investing my money. maybe i would have looked for another morning job that payed more than the hotel, and was more clerical or more of in an office setting, a desk job, or paperwork job or whatever.
my second choice would have been to go to graduate school at UMKC, get the MS in Finance, take a few classes in real estate finance, and project finance or something, a few classes in engineering, accounting, some other stuff, maybe math. a few art classes.
* * *
my neighbor tried to start a conversation with me right now. i shut the door. i'm not trying to be rude with the guy but i'm working on something, i'm kind of trying to get my shit together, my thoughts together or whatever, and his ass is distracting me.

it would make sense to see if i can get my job back at the airport.
really. i'm still not sure why i'm in texas.
i wanted to see <Text Removed>, but if that's not going to happen, then that just one less reason to stick around.
i would like to go to college here, but if i don't get it, then it would probably make more sense to
head back to missouri and see if i can renew my application or whatever.
if i can't get into college in texas, that's really also one less reason to stick around.
in terms of work. i just need to be able to tread water for the next 12 months.
at a minimum i just need to be able to tread water for 12 months.
obviously i'd like to do more than that, but in life, i'm not sure that i always get what i want.

they don't seem to pay very well. but i think i mentioned before that for the time being, that i only really need to tread water at the moment.

I'm applying for jobs closer to home. i would like to look more into this laboratory stuff. i applied for a few.
i have never used linkedin for finding a job. or at least not much.
there was this sales position with a company here in the dallas fort worth area where i connected with hiring manager via linkedin. it didn't exactly go anywhere.
I'm applying for one of these positions directly on the company website.
Whenever I'm applying for a job. I typically hammer and barrage the posts. I don't know what else to do really.
Supposing that application submissions are more tailored and targeted, what would that result in?

i'm trying to think of a series of events, or a sequence of events that happened recently.
so.
a while ago i started sending my receipts to myself, rather than to <Text Removed>. i'm not sure why i was sending her my receipts.
i guess the main reason was to show that i was actually in texas and not bullshitting about it.
then i get the reader comment saying, like saying something, like forget <Text Removed> or whatever, it irritated me somewhat because i was already kind of heading in that direction.
i ended up going on a weekend road trip around texas. i bought a few <Text Removed> name tags, and another braclet.
i thought about sending them to her, and then i thought about keeping them for myself.
but i think that i might just mail them off to her.
but i kind of want to keep them.
i don't know what to do about that situation.
some of this stuff is actually kind of cool.
i actually do. have to kind of focus on getting my shit here together in texas.

so what in shits name should i do right now? looking for a job. i think. there are a few paths that i can take, and i really have to think through what is the optimal path.
if i just need to tread water for the time being. if i just need to stay afloat or whatever, and i just need to make enough money to pay my bills for the time being.
then maybe i should look for a job that has some kind of career path or whatever.
i should have tried to do the program or whatever at UMKC. Instead I went on this bizarre adventure.
i did have to get away from my dad, and my family and all that.

in my cranium i hear her tongue flick
sensibilities in my ear like: "move
on idiot, i hardly remember
who the fuck you are, other than the smooth,
greasy, bald head of yours, and the embers
on the tips of those cigarettes you smoked
constantly like you were some kind of clit-
sucker." A few days ago I had stroked
my last paper letter, tossed in the slit
of a mailbox at a post office in
some small town: i hope it's not if, but when.

I'm actually afraid to look her up. And maybe I should try being more realistic about. Like. Life I guess. I haven't had a direct response. And maybe that is a response.

so what are some of the things that i'm thinking about right now?
the first thing is getting set up with a second job. the main issue with this idea is that i'm already extremely tired and fatigued after my work at the cargo docks of the airport. however, i noticed that i'm very energized after taking a nap of 3 - 4 hours. so work not be as exhausting as i think it is.
it might be the heat, more than anything that makes me tired and fatigued. i don't operate equipment at the airport docks, so most of my times is spent actually lifting and moving things.
the second thing that's on my mind is getting set up with some kind of side-hustle. i don't really have anything specific in mind, but one is the courier / food delivery stuff. i had this idea of getting set up on viator and doing a kind of slice of life postmates experience. i thought that it might be fun.
but i really dislike driving. when i get off work at the airport, there is so much traffic on monday, and tuesday that i'm in a real state of annoyance as i drive home.
the other side-hustle idea is selling stuff online. i have to watch some videos on how to do this. the only time i ever did anything like this was in cameron, missouri, and i sold 2 pairs of shoes that i never wore on craigslist.
i did buy some silver coins online. one of them is from 1987, but i realized that i bought one that isn't certified and graded. it's obviously not a counterfeit coin, but being certified and graded gives collectors some kind of erection, and makes the coin more collectible. I think that i bought 4 coins total.

I don't know why i bought those silver coins. I do silly stuff some times. I do impulsive things some times. I've been up all night. It might be my sleep cycle. I'm usually working at this hour.

I was annoyed that instagram doesnt feed into tumblr without me signing in each time. But i realized that im always signed into tumblr on the app, so i just have to open the app to post. It's easy.

i'm really fucking annoyed
by everything
and i really think that
everything is kind of useless. and really sucks.

I picked up an extra shift at the docks. Only one person from my regular shift and work team was there.
I'm a little bit dissapointed with the underperformance of my portfolio, but part of it may have been due to my living situation, that I've been withdrawing money, and not reinvesting dividends. But that will change and I'll be on track again.

when i was at the cargo docks, it started raining. several people mentioned the hurricane, and terrant county, where i live, has been declared a, i don't know, zone where the hurricane might have an impact.
i asked someone, the guy i normally work with, if he knew the name of the hurricane, and he didn't. i was browsing facebook and found out that it is named Hurricane Laura.
I think that one day there should be a Hurricane <Text Removed>
