Ranting...

I know I keep bitching and complaining about this whole job hunt thing down here, but it freaking sucks. At least I actually heard back from one place, but unfortunately the answer was a negative. Whatever...I'll move on. I think an appointment with my career department on campus is in order...figure out what the hell I am doing wrong in these interviews!

I knew this process was not going to be easy, but damn! Oh well, I'll just keep trudging along and trying...thank goodness for my position still back in Jacksonville *knocks on wood*.

I guess not everything in one's life can be perfect...some things have to go wrong, haha! I guess at the moment, I am looking at things half empty...but flipping that to half full...I have a wonderful family and friends, a great boyfriend, I am doing really well in school and for the most part, I am content with things.

I guess only time will tell on what happens with my fucking career, ha!

Until next time...

R.I.P Tastespotting

So my favorite blog of all time has been closed :(

Tastespotting was amazing because it was like the watering hole for all of these different food blogs. It was a Google Reader for food! So to my disappointment, they have closed. But After finding this update on their site today, I have some hopes...we'll see :)

While I procrastinate getting ready for work...

I figure I would update! It's brief, but to the point :)

- Gas is ridiculous....I paid 3.99/gal at the Shell I always go to, in the morning. After work, I drove by again and it was up to 4.01/gal...cry me a river!!

- My phone is dead cause I forgot my damn charger :(

-I keep having interview after interview, but no luck in getting past the first...why does this remind me of my dating life?

-On the man front...things are starting to look up! Let's hope Round Two moves onto Round Three, haha! Then I can break this pattern of a bunch of first dates...whatevs, hehe...

Okay...I guess I better throw some work clothes on and head out the door.

Until Next Time...

Along the lines of my love life...

So I think I have my answer as far as this guy goes that I went out with. Fine with me, but at least I have a better understanding with myself to why it won't work out. Instead of it just dying off and I wonder what went wrong.

There are plenty of other guys out there, so I am no worried. Plus, when I am not looking is when they pop up :)

Amos Lee

Before today, I had only really knew only one song by Amos Lee called, "Arms of a Woman". Which I love! But now that I am listening to more of his stuff, including songs I have always listened to, but didn't realize it was him. I think I have fallen more in love with his music.

Amos Lee is categorized on I-Tunes as Folk Music, which I think is pretty befitting if he is alongside such artists as Jenny Gillespie - a local musician from Chicago whom I think is amazing and I hope she gets her time in the spotlight!

His music is very relaxed and mellow. It is perfect for a rainy day, sitting next to the window with a nice cup of coffee. With the mesmerizing sounds of Amos' voice and the patter of the rain just sounds so delightful.

One song that I think everyone would be familiar with is, "Sweet Pea". I think it has been in commercials and on films. It is just so darn familiar to the ear and I will admit to squealing when I heard it! If you are a fan of Fiona Apple, Ray LaMontagne and Aimee Mann, you will truly enjoy the sounds of his music and voice.

And keep in mind, his new album will be out on June 24, 2008! Support this guy, I sure as hell will be! Including seeing him in concert here in Orlando @ The Social on August 1st.

It's been a long time...

So I created this blog soooo long ago. Well, more like a year ago! It was supposed to record my life while I lived in New England. As you can tell from the plethora of posts I have (note: sarcasm!), I never really kept up with it.

So on an update, it is now June 2008 and I am living down here in sunny Orlando, Florida! Home of Mickey Mouse, the Hulk ride at IOA and countless outlet shopping malls.

So I guess you could say the title of my blog does not hold much truth to it anymore, but I am still going to keep it :) Unofficially, I shall title it, "From Sunshine to Snow, Then Back to Sunshine again! My Life Back in Sunny (sometimes) Florida".

Okay, so that's it for now. BUT I will start posting stuff now. Just had to put this notice out there :)

Until next time...
