"I've been thinkin'of a little place down by the lake, they got a dirty old road leading up to the house, I wonder how long it will take till we're alone, sittin on the front porch of that home, stompin' our feet on the wooden boards, never gotta worry 'bout lockin' the door...

Well, it's 1-2-3-4 take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see ya later
all they got inside is vacancy..."

I’ve wanted to write something since Saturday night when I saw one of the best concerts to date: the White Stripes. Scoff or insult if you will, (and I’ll still think you’re wrong) Jack and Meg White know how to rock a show. From the deep red back drops and instruments to the two hour pure rock show, it was without a doubt, one of my top 5 concerts all time, possibly number 2 (nothing beats Incubus!) Only Jack White can strut his stuff on stage in red pants while making his guitar skills look effortless. Amazing.

The reason its taken me so long to write anything (I’m sure everyone’s just been dying for something new - haha) is due to my exceedingly heavy workload this week. Having worked the morning after the concert and all day at Bluenotes and carrying into the week back to back CityLine and Bluenotes, I’ve literally been able to catch up on some much needed hours. Work is also preventing me from seeing the new Harry Potter movie, which hurts my heart but I’m hoping to rectify this weekend. I’ve never lived for the weekends as much as I seem to these days. I have this unfortunate feeling that the summer will be here and gone before I even get a chance to enjoy it. Being poor and working 2 jobs (oh the irony!), seems to be preventing me from the drunken all-night swim-all day times passed.

I’d feel all of these things were worth sacrificing however, if I could guarantee an upcoming position of employment. Sadly this is not so. I’m trying to be optimistic and think that before August 31st comes I will be in a better situation, but I find this belief wavering. Since last voicing my fears of never getting a job in my field, working in retail forever and sucking in general, I have made some efforts to prevent such a horrible fate. Resumes and cover letters have been updated and started to go out, now I cross my fingers and pray for a miracle.
