blah blah blah

Ha Ha!!! I got tore up on a phone interview today.  It was quite funny.  The recruiter was really smart, and he challenged the way I think almost immediately into the conversation.  I remember feeling so very nervous as I answered the questions.

"What made you apply for this position?" six figure salary. 

"All right, good, money."  "What is the common goal that all business share?" making money. 

"Would you drive a taxi for 300,000 dollars a year for 3 years? Would you take that job?" no I wouldn't. "Why not!! It would be MORONIC if you don't take the job.  Drive for 3 years, and invest it in a shopping plaza or something, sit back and collect.  Then look for your next project."

At the time, I couldn't agree more.  I was thinking to myself, "man, how come I didn't think of that."  But in the back of my head, I knew there was a reason why my answer was no.  It's just that I couldn't figure it out right then and there.

Afterwards, I sat down and regrouped my thinking and sorted it out into words.  My reasoning behind the answer was this, since this would be my first career opportunity, I need to learn as much as possible.  Drive taxi for 3 years and make 900,000 dollars would be nice, but what about the next 10 years of my life?  Even if I wanted to invest as the recruiter had suggested, I wouldn't know what to do or how to do it.  Had I taken that job, I would have nothing to show for the 3 years that I spent driving taxi.  I would be making money, yes.  But it lacks a purpose, it lacks a real goal.

One thing is for certain.  I definitely don't mind paying my due NOW.  I would much rather learn the ropes of the business, and make less NOW.  Because I know I will be able to make it all back.  If anything, I would be able to make more in the long run. 

Man, wish I could re-do my interview...and actually think fast enough to answer and support my ideas.  It was fun though, It has been a while since I was challenged on the way I think.  It was extremely exhilarating.

I don't know if you agree with what I wrote, but I would definitely like to hear what you have to say.

aight...What is wrong with me.  Can I not talk to girls or something?  Why is it that I can't seem to keep a conversation goin for more then 10 seconds with this girl?  I'm always kinda quiet around her.  Something's got to change.  The thing is, I'm not quiet, my friends would surely describe me as talkative.  I don't know how to remedy the situation.  Anyways, I prolly shouldn't do anything about it...considering the circumstances...

Today's been shitty.  It's one of those days...Cold, gloomy, and did I say cold?  Tobacco industry must have made more of a fortune today then usual.  I, myself smoked a few more fags then average.  Just imagine those "real" smokers.  Probably doubled the amount of their nicotine intake.  *sigh*...today is really one of "those" days.

On top of the problem I mentioned above.  The rejection letter from a company keeps on flashing in my mind.  Arrgh...it's taunting me!!!  I need a fucking job soon...or I might just rob a bank.

well, to sum up...the first paragraph, I got no game.  second paragraph, I'm a useless smoker that's complaning about ATL weather.  Final paragraph, I'm a jobless loser.  There you have it...for now...

aight...haven't been on here for quite a while...so here it goes...

it's pretty refreshing to talk to someone on a deeper level...to be able to see a person in a whole new light...its really awsome...I haven't talk to this perons for the longest time...and from talking to her tonight, it was amazing that how much she has grown as a person...mind you, the motive was not to hook up...but just catching up on the past...and ended up having a great conversation...

On another note...only money and girls can come between friends...girls being the cause in this case...or should I just say MXXXa is the problem...after all this time...she is still causing me problems...*sigh*...she has no clue as to what she is doin...if i tell her the truth about a certain situation, she'll deny it and not listen at all or when i tell her what the right thing to do is...she'll be stubborn and still do it her way...and of course, regrets it later...and say "why do this always happen to me?"...

Just got done talking to steve on AIM...I wish the best of luck to his new quest...it was pretty rocky just a few days ago...but my boy came through..."just give me a chance..."quote(read his away message)...hahahahaha...somebody's *whipping sound*...

anyways, im out...4:38 in the morning...listening to Foo Fighters (down in the park) as I end this entry...feeling alone and helpless about the job situation...

dude man...Justin Timberlake is da bomb dude.  I liked his last song "like I love you"...but this new song is WAAAY hot.  "Cry me a river" yall should check this track out...its phat.  yeah...im a JT fan.  There, i said it.

Today a company actually called me back and set up and interview for next thursday.  It felt so rewarding to have some kind of response.  I try so hard to find a place in "life after college"...so GIVE ME A DAMN JOB ALREADY!!!  I really hope this one goes well, cause I have to start paying back the loans I accumulated through five years of college.
