My bark was stripped

and there I laid

exposed

reaching

for some

sun.

There was little

you could do

but suck the

sap from my

pulp.

It oozed and

dripped on the

sheets

before I was

cast out to

sea.

Sprouting Roots in Clay

The past couple days have been a little hard on me but today is a new day and I'm ready to greet it with enthusiasm and perseverance.

I took my board out for a ride yesterday and found that it helped clear my head. I'm prolly gonna go out again today because it's a beautiful day and I still haven't been outside.

I have an interview tomorrow at the Te Papa Museum cafe. I hope it goes well but if not, I've been applying to dozens of other places and one is bound to call back.

I might start working for accomodation at the hostel I'm staying at because it's starting to get really pricey. I've been meeting a lot of people who work here and there might be an opening.

I would love to take a shower but I have to wait until my room is finished being cleaned before I can check in again.

Landslide

I'm getting really tired of hearing people talk about American politics. Everytime I meet somebody new I have to hear their dissertation on the many flaws of American society. It becomes everybody's favorite subject of conversation. No matter how many times I agree with them and say that the points they raise were contributing factors in my decision to leave, they love to hear themselves preach to the choir.

Duh, bro. I know how stupidly fucked up the U.S. is. Do you really think that you are the first person to tell me this? The SF Bay Area is the anti-bush bumper sticker capital of the world.

Anyway.... I'm looking for a job in Wellington. The amount of effort I'm putting into my resumes and cover letters paired with the uncertainty of the next two weeks is starting to overwhelm me.
