Logic and reason

Well, I've let my emotions run away with my logic. That sums up the past two weeks.
So, I'm back and I'm writing things you, anyone following, will hopefully find interesting.

I've decided, after very little deliberation (as with most things in my life, I've realized), that I will spend this year's spring break traveling. I'm not sure where I'll go, but most likely it will be West. I'm drawn to the Grand Canyon.














So much open, raw earth to touch and kick up and breathe in. I think I just may. But! What will I do about money?! Now taking donations.


Also, thought this looked interesting: Saline Valley, California

In other news, it's storming like hell in Bloomington, but the only thing we really have is wind. No thunder, yet. Just wind and weirdness. Indiana weather is always amazing me with its ability to change its mind so quickly. I do that too though.

I'm writing a story about recent graduates who aren't finding any jobs in their career field. I'm interviewing Meghan Fox, who is working at Enterprise car rental. She looked for months for a job after graduating with a fine arts degree. The economy is in the ditch, in case you didn't get the memo. But of course you did.

Surprisingly, I'm not all that worried about money. If I can't get a job after school (let's be honest. I'm a journalist. The Tribune Co. is bankrupt), I'll do odd jobs and travel and hell, maybe I'll read tarot cards for a living. And I'll see the world, because life is too short to worry about money. It will come when it does. If there is one thing I've learned here in Bloomington, it's that adventure is often right around the corner. All you have to do is go looking.



That's my gnome. And my aloe plant. Both are two of my favorite things.






Political comments are on the way. Honestly, the politics of my own mind have me tangled, so I'm a bit distracted. In the mean time, I suggest you all go here for good news. This guy leaked the Monica/Clinton story before anyone else did. Good stuff.
