Anyway You Want It

One thing people seem to be lacking these days is some sort of self confidence. I found out some really, really awful, personal news last night which has, and will for some time effect me. To reduce those effects I always try to use positive re-enforcement. When you wake up in the morning, the first thing I try to do is think of something happy. When I’m getting ready I always look in the mirror and tell myself I am awesome, then laugh because I’m talking to myself! The thing is that because i have laughed about it, every time I repeat this idea, it will release endorphins (happy chemicals in your brain) which will make me feel better. If you’re feeling down, or just anything really, try it; you’ll be surprised!
I had a phone interview on Friday which i believed went extremely well and I have secured a face to face interview in the near future. That Friday night I went out with my buddies at home which was awesome, but I somehow contracted man flu and couldn’t go out Saturday with other mates! Sunday I visited one of my friends from Uni which was amazing as we threw stones at seagulls (practically impossible to hit them).
So back to the job search, it’s such a drag doing this after so many weeks but it’s what we get for investing in our lives by going to be University. To be fair everything I apply for doesn’t specifically want University graduates, so I could have skipped the whole ordeal and been in the same position. I wouldn’t choose that option however as I have made some of my best friends at university.

Welcome to my blog! I guess I could tell you a bit about myself now but I think that has to be less interesting then anecdotes. I’m sure you’ll learn more from my posts anyway! Here it goes.

Let’s start with two of the fundamental aspects of a man’s life, Girls and Money. I honestly feel that looking for girls is the same sort of process as applying for jobs. At the start of the whole deal you are only looking for jobs that are perfect, that pay well, feature great benefits, hopefully you’ll be doing something that interests you and you therefore it should be fulfilling. 145 CV’s and application forms later you have started to those jobs that maybe seem more attainable, with less pay, no perks, just so you have something to get by. So putting it back in to the context of girls, you’re in a club and you try to get the beautiful girls, but by the end of the night when you haven’t scored, you jump on that 18 stone treasure that’s barely conscious. Any difference?

I don’t know why the world has to be like this, it would be so nice for things to be black and white for awhile! Recruiters and girls both have this ability to see the world in full colour, so if you meet a female recruiter then you’re screwed! Well not really, i think the femaleness overrides the recruiter side at vital points.

I have been trying hard these last few months to get myself a job and to get myself a girl, when I feel like I’m close on either pursuit, something usually wrecks it. Half the time it’s usually I that does the damage but then the other half you have to just think the universe is having a laugh at your expense. Of course I’m patiently waiting for that opportunity where I come out top, have to feel like they both go hand in hand, and wade through the shit to get to the good. If you have ever seen Slumdog Millionaire, the main character jumps in that huge pile of shit so that he can go get his heroes signature; that is the perfect life metaphor.

I honestly think karma is a real thing, I don’t think bad things happen to good people for no reason, I do consider myself a good person so I carry on hoping my luck will change, and I’m sure it will, anyone else reading this who is genuinely a good person, stick in there! You are going to fly someday! Might not be this year or the next but you will be ok!

I will keep you informed on my progress as it happens! Good luck on your endeavours!
