i should be writing out a resume right now. i started veering off my mission by searching for jobs in Sierra Vista, AZ. and then looking at Archuletta's resume, which made me realize two things:
1. i am very fortunate to have a handful of friends who have made me grow and have literally made me a better, smarter person.
2. i need to make a gangster resume, cus if i'm competing with people like izzy, i'm royally fucked.
being in the army gave me a few things, took some, too. most of it was taken in korea. neither here nor there. what i'm trying to get at, is, the people i've gotten to meet, befriend and work with. some of them were exceptionally amazing! i don't think i could ever meet another Archuletta. i met someone who came relatively close, though. i worked with him in Korea. he was my direct supervisor and we became great friends and i learned a grip of shit from him. for some reason, one of the things that stuck was "cannibalism at sea happens more often than you think!" i don't know why.
i also learned what a prehensile tail is. this might not mean shit to anybody else, and i can understand that. for me, though, it's a breakthrough. i've never really been one to hold onto newfound information or facts. i don't retain shit well. and i'm terrible at articulating myself. sometimes, to say "a wall is white", i'll go onto explain the intricacies of paint, and what type of wood was used and take up 20 minutes of your time. sometimes i say shit like "white wall." and that usually gets the job done, actually.
i'm doing it again.
anyways, theres a certain type of people/personality that brings out the absolute best in me. i've never been able to put my finger on WHAT it is, but the closest i've came is a recent discussion with Archuletta about personality types (i am currently ESTJ, working to be an ESTP again) and he is a INTJ. i don't know how many other INTJ's i've met, and therein lies my problem.
i hate the idea of school, i hate sitting in a chair in a classroom with a timeline and a boring lecture in front. all of these things make me squirm and yawn and draw retarded shit.
i like learning, though. there are few things that make me happier than when i can recall a fact or new word i just learned. i like to read, also. but i don't do it often (sad face). i get so easily distracted, and if it's a super good book, i'll reread a page several times to try to commit it to memory, which in turn, makes reading a very long process. i told myself at the beginning of the year, i would read 4 books this year. i'm still working on The Motorcycle Diaries, which is great! i have a small obsession with Che Guevara, see.
i also plan on reading some Kurt Vonnegut when i can find a barnes & noble.
i really love the mark twain quote that is the title of this post. everybody should!
anyways, this is probably really uninteresting, but it's given my brain some release, so maybe i'll finish this stupid thing. i have at least one more update to do today with the word of the day, olson's girl and an update if i finish or not. woop.
on that note.
peace.
