I think I may become a drug dealer... because this job hunt is not going so well. Apparently there is a "Nursing shortage" but with this floundering economy we are in the throes of, there are no positions available because older nurses aren't retiring (due to their financial statuses). In addition to that, hospital budgets are tight, and no more positions are being created. FUCK MY GOD DAMNED LIFE.
I think that it would be fitting for me to become some Colombian coke-god, and just disappear into a life of millionaire obscurity.
There are two requirements that I think I meet, if in fact this venture does take place.
1. I can handle simple math with the greatest of ease.
2. I can handle a gun pretty comfortably.
There. Job search done. No struggling for 60,000 a year with benefits. The only thing I have to worry about are competitors trying to murder me. But I think I can bypass this by remaining anonymous. Like wearing a mask to various drug dealz and employing a multitude of doppelgängers.

Inception
I saw Inception this past Monday. It was the best mindfuck that I've had in a long time. It's nice to see thought provoking action movies once in a while.
I do have a funny story that goes along with this. It adds to the awkwardness and hilarity that I hope to one day leave as my legacy.
I saw a trailer for Inception on TV at 9:45pm on Monday night, I forgot it had come out this past weekend. I decided that second I was going to go see it that very night if they had a late showing. I looked online and fortunately, they had a 10:15pm showing at West.
A little known fact about me is that I enjoy going to the movies by myself. I don't mind going with other people, but if there is a movie that I want to see on a huge ass screen (and awesome theater quality sound) and nobody else is able or willing to go with me... then by god you betta believe I'm going to go see it by my lonesome.
It's really not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. My main point being if I am going to go to a movie with someone, we are going to be sitting together in the dark, neither looking nor talking to one another (or it's supposed to be like that). So what is the difference if I go by myself or with someone? Plus it's just kind of nice to be alone and without distraction.
WELL, ANYWAY... so I am at the theater, and as I am walking up the steps to a choice seat I have visually picked out near the top, someone in the middle of the seats leans forward and loudly whispers, "Rebeka? Is that you?"
FUCK! My cover is blown. Blown wide open. Like a whore's vagina.
I squint in the dim room and look at the person who is calling my name. It's a girl that I went to high school with (coincidentally, we're also friends on facebook) and some guy. So it's like someone I am familiar with, but I wouldn't say we were friends, you know?
As I am walking up to the spot I have picked out, we make a casual exchange of smalltalk. I sit down and get settled in.
2 minutes later... "Rebeka, are you alone?"
She said it with that tone. The type of tone that someone uses when you tell them your dog died or the accelerator stuck on your Toyota.
"Yes," shaking my head. Thinking Fuck puhlease I just want to be alone and enjoy my movie.
"Do you want to come sit by us?" she asked.
"Sure." and I was then introduced to her boyfriend, by whom I took a seat next to. Awwwwwwwwkwaaaaaaaard. But I actually basked in the awkwardness.

Unintentional Dirty Things I Say Vol. 1
"I still wish gash was a dollar."
I said this at work today to a customer in reference to how costly some things have gotten. I meant to say "I still wish gas was a dollar." The customer probably thought I was talking about cheap pussy. I was so tired I didn't even correct myself. Around what time period do you think gash would have cost a dollar? Like 1904 maybe?
"I need your seed, sir."
I said this to a customer when he asked if I had scanned his bag of birdseed yet. Ozay!

July 2010
I haven't posted to this in a while. Just because I have been busy finishing up school and such. In addition to that I have been studying for my state boards which I will take in August. Gettin' down to the wire... I can't wait though to get it over even though I am pretty anxious about it.
1. "In a Big Country" - Big Country -- Listen to that guitar shred. It's almost as good as shredded cheese. This is a song that should make you want to throw a fist in the air (I'm not talking about "fist pump," either). I would go so far as to say this song is more motivational and inspirational than "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
"So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted."
2. "Spanish Sahara (Deadboy RMX)" - Foals -- The original is good, but for some reason I like this remix just a little bit better. I really really like the lead singer's voice (whose name is Yannis Philippakis... hmm I wonder if he's Greek?). This is on their second cd, Total Life Forever, which has a lot of solid songs on it.
3. "Dance the Way I Feel" - Ou Est Le Swimming Pool -- Here is a novel idea. What if it was acceptable to just dance in a fashion that suited whatever emotion you were feeling at the time?
Here is a little scenario: an asshat of a customer comes up to me at my lame part-time job and is yelling at me because he/she can't keep track of their receipt like an adult when it comes time to return something... and they expect a full cash refund. What would be the dance that would represent my emotion at this juncture? I think it would go a little something like this:
Then the dance would culminate with me delivering a swift kick to the customers face, resulting in them falling into a huge display of cheese curls.
4. "French Navy" - Camera Obscura -- This song is so sweet, I now have Type II Diabetes from listening to it.
"I wanted to control it. But love, I couldn't hold it."
5. "When We Were Young (Breakbot RMX)" - Sneaky Sound System -- Breakbot remixes this song with a disco gloss. Good shit.
6. "Meet Me Halfway" - Black Eyed Peas -- I really like Fergie Ferg's voice, and this song showcases that. I also really like how they used the rolling guitar from "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeah's in the background.
7. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - Starfucker -- Really good rock cover. I hate to say it but I have heard the original way too many times and I've just become a little bored with it. This is a refreshing take on the song that stays faithful to the original.
8. "Baby, I Love You" - Banjo or Freakout -- I love the Ronette's original version and I love the cover by The Ramones. But this is really good too. The hazy background noise makes it really dreamy.
9. "Night by Night (Skream RMX)" - Chromeo -- I have heard about 14 remixes of this song, and I like this one the most. It's a more low-key, dub version of the original. Although I think I do like the original better, this is good to mix it up a little.
10. "Only You" - Yaz -- This is one of my favorite songs from the 80's and also one of my favorite love songs. It's just really simple and sweet. This was on the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack and that's how I found out about this band. Ugh, idiot!
11. "Million Dollar Bill" - Whitney Houston -- Awwwww shiiiiiiit! This is a jam if I ever heard one. I was in Sephora with my sister when this came on over their soundsystem. I was like "What is this? It sounds old. I like it." And then she told me it was Whitney and it was from last year, and my sister loves it just as much as I do. So now it's our official jam. The wicked bass at the beginning is also my ringtone, tee hee hee. I must admit, I giggle everytime Whitney says "I've been searchin' for a man to touch this place." Even though I'm almost positive she means like her heart or some bullshit.
12. "Dance Dance Dance (Grandtheft RMX)" - Lykke Li -- I love the original, but this remix is tight. Like I wish they would play this type of music at bars/clubs, because this is the shit that I can really get down to. For reals. I really hope you are enjoying my hard-hitting, in depth analysis of all of these songs.
13. "Seasun" - Delorean -- What do you almost automatically think about when you hear summer? 1. Sun 2. Sea. Word.
