A Little Frustrated

OK, i've said it before: I'm 24, almost 25, dual degreed, and i'm not to shabby on my feet. Still i can't find a decent job, and when i do (i.e the Legislative Analysts job in Dekalb County) the position is saturated with other "qualified applicants," so they send me a telegram saying they'll let me know if they need me.
Americorp was great, tried working with P.I.R.G., You know, try to do good for my environment and myself, but volunteer and non-profit work doesn't pay rent.
Money I NEED IT!
Truck is Dead, can't get to work til i make money to fix it?! Digest that. "Buy a new one La" yea, ok folk and kiss Georgetown and Law school goodbye for the next five years hmmm, greaaaaat, at least I'll look cool in my Ford Escape, or whatever... talk about a two-sided coin.
Is it the economy? It can't just be outsourcing, though how i despise thee, or the stock market, or the housing market. Is it Atlanta? Is it me? its me isn't it?

Its a Brand New Day and Brand new me

Hey
When i lived in Maryland i worked out everyday, sometimes twice a day. But since i've been back in Georgia i haven't really worked out, and i've noticed the effects of this.
SO today i signed up for a 12 day trial membership at a local gym...i won't say which because they are one of the big ones that i don't really like, BUUUUT its free for 12 days so whatever.


Its a new year, even if you are not overweight (though 2 out of 3 of you are!) it never hurts to work out, get some fresh air in the lungs, WORK THAT BODY!

So i'm off to the gym to work on my fitness, then to work.

Where is the Manuel?

Why does life not come with a manual and why do i feel like EVERYONE i know is running around with their head on sideways? We all pretend to know what the truth is, what the best choices are, but we're all just guessing. And NO ONE knows.
I'm guessing, and right now i'm as confused as....the elephant man in space? A dog in a cats body? You feel me. I'm single again, and yea i know that was out of left field, but i really needed it.  I'm trying to stay away from the person i've been crushing, as too not get sucked in to the rebound effect.....i'm really really bad at that.
and on love, EVERYONE is getting married. Did i miss a memo? Is it really time for us to grow up and do all this shit? And i try to be a supportive a possible. But when most people tell me my thought process runs something like this:
1. thinkin "hmm ok la, smile"---saying--OMG CONGRATS
2. thinkin "DO you know the divorce rate right now?"-saying---did you pick a date?
3. thinking "I'll be out of law school in 4, if you need a divorce lawyer "saying--i'll be out of law school in 4 if you need a divorce lawyer
4. Thinking if you love someone that much, you DON"T need some paper telling you that your love is legit saying---NOTHING
5. Thinking Man, i would be married to Cat right now if we'd stayed together....thank G-d i'm not Doing--holding back from puking
My house in MD got flooded so i Don't know if i can move PLUS Moveon.org offered me a job in Atlanta but yea.....
I'm not suicidal in anyway but man i wish i could get to cloud 10 and float away, land on the south Isle of New Zealand, and wait for her there (in like 50 years)
or i wish life came with a manual
