Memorial Day
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005 by joelMan, I don’t even want to get into it. Alright, look, this last few days were what is known as Memorial Day Weekend. I am not sure what this weekend is a memorial to. I think its probably something to do with young men from our country who sacrificed their futures, their fragile youthful bodies, and in many cases their sanity to protect the freedoms we take for granted. Whatever the case, it ends up being a memorial to goofing off and cookouts. Which is pretty much what I have been obligated to do over this past several days, hence the crappy update on Friday, and the utter lack of update Monday. We are back on track for the time being. However given that I have started some temp work for the summer and am still adjusting to having a schedule again, I cannot promise a steady ride from here out. I can only promise that I will fight the good fight against my laziness. Perhaps they will commemorate said fight with a special day dedicated to me and other slackers who, despite all odds, DID something.
On that subject (jobs, not slackers) I would just like to mention that, as it now appears, I will forever be stuck with the epithet “Mr. Joel.� I was hoping after my last job to grow out of that and, perhaps, rise to the lofty “Mr. Furches� or maybe even the more intimate “Joel.� This, and all other hints of intimacy are, alas, not to be had. I will always hover in a position somewhat equated to that friendly camp counselor that you vaguely remember from your youth without the convenience of a forthcoming description, name, or anything they actually may have done to affect your life or childhood.
If you have read this and thought that it was perhaps a bit whiney and self-pitying, I’d have to say you’ve more or less grasped the gist of the document such as it is. Well done.
