Well I'm still lookin' for work. The town I live in has so few job opportunities, but I'm not really all that surprised though. Where I am is basically my hometown, when I was five we up and moved to Denver CO which is where I spent most of my time growing up with summers spent back in this spit-hole that time forgot. I really miss Denver. I remember hopping on the public bus and an hour or two ride just to go to a mall that wasn't too close by just for the hell of it but now I could get from one in of this town to the other in maybe thirty minutes. It's got a vague claustrophobic feel to it when you're used to a big city.
Right now my biggest aspiration besides work is not to go hillbilly-ape-crap on the next dumbass thing one of my relatives do. Harder than you'd think considering my grandmother speaks to everyone like they're four-years-old. Most of us can see that senility has more than set in but my aunt (the one that lives with me) who is a nurse no less refuses to believe that. Not that's a big surprise considering she can't spot anything wrong with anyone in the family health-wise anyway, last winter she caught pneumonia and didn't believe any of us that she should go see a doctor until she woke up one morning an could barely breathe.
Just the other day I had to separate her and my mother when they'd gotten into a fight over money and it turned physical which ended in my aunt's glasses being broken and my mom storming out of the house for five hours. It's like herding chickens. Honestly I feel like they're the idiot teenagers while I act (and feel like) an old man.
