Righto so after a frankly embarrassing amount of time Iāve managed to secure my self an interview for a tasty job thatāll leave me right satisfied (for now).
Iām on my way right now actually, as I write this. The nerves have yet to hit me.
Itās a bit early for my happily unemployed friends to wish my luck and console me (they are all asleep), so I've got a this album to keep me company. -actually it was another user on this site that recommended it, thank you to whoever it was. :)
Christ these suit pants are uncomfy and holy fuck you should see this hair cut. No one would have ever guessed I could look even whiter.
Oh! This is my stop, wish me luck

Just got out of one the biggest job interviews Iāve ever done. Took a selfie as soon as I walked out the building - post interview mog. i was gonna go back home but how often does one dress this nice? Not too often, why only wear it for a train ride and a 20 minute interview when you can go to your favorite cafe, sit in a park and enjoy how good you look today. Reflect on the interview, did it go well? Will you get the job? Is it good for you? these are questions I ask myself as I sit and Let the sun gaze upon my skin.

been unemployed for the last 7 months due to burnout and health issues and although I was financially prepared to be unemployed for 5mo. Iāve spent the past 3mo aggressively job hunting and every interview Iāve had (about 10-15 of them) have been depleting my self esteem.
however. I have a renewed sense of hope and anticipation for the right opportunity to cross my path and todays pre-interview moment was spent affirming myself and taking a selfie to remind myself that āI am indeed that bitchā and anyone would be lucky to have me as their employee.

I find often in media, specifically meta media, that we are told materialism (and its association to capitalism and greed) is a sickening disease. A disease that traps us to our boring, normal and sometimes if we are lucky enough, corporate lives. Lives without schizo episodes of terrorism, young boy play things, and massive bank heists. But Iām not so sure it IS a disease ...It canāt be a disease.
Or maybe it's precisely that becauseĀ our lives have been shortened by the disease, that I may expand my pathetic record collection into something bigger and continue making āinvestmentsā on my epic, old school pokemon collection.
āThe things you own end up owning you"
Ā -Tyler Durden.
I fucking hope not, Iām this: |_| close to filling my new display case with action figures and I will not become batman's bitch.
To see the opposite side of views we subscribe to, is not a difficult thing these days and yet my desire for materialism is supported by very fucking few (comedically, academically and socially).
If weed and alcohol is supported and opposed, then why the fuck is no one arguing about my main poison materialism?
A case for making your own homestead or even starting that epic #vanlife is so constantly supported and yet the lives we first world masses occupy is celebratedā¦when? Or maybe itās truly as the pedos say?
āThe greatest wealth is to live content with littleā
-Plato.
Youāre right Mr Pedo, at least everyone believes that to be right, but in my first world society what most would consider āthe greatest wealthā Iād consider ālittleā.
Is it so much to ask for a massive one of a kind library in my house that's sitting on a few acres of fertile land? The kind of library that says, āMy cock may be small, but my ego more than makes up for it!ā -No, it isnāt so much to ask for, and if I could have it my way, it wouldn't be āso muchā for anyone. (See! I'm a humanitarian!)
I stumbled across this account on Instagram that seems to be going against the trends of #vanlife and homesteading with his reels depicting a ānormal lifeā.The user romanticises the stability of a 9-5 office job (or rather the stability of HIS 9-5 office job.) that America seemed to adore so much, and kinda still does???Ā
For a proud capitalist he makes me surprisingly sick to be honest. Preaching his trademarked phrase, āNormalise the Normā along with well edited windows into his unsurprisingly grey life. When did the ānormā become so fucking colourless?
He isnāt nearly as exciting as or even palatable as a Japanese guy travelling around and living out out of his Kei truck or a big bearded man and his funny dog building a homestead.
I must say though. It is nice to see someone defend our collective desire to hold onto our stonesā¦Like an otter!
And donāt worry (My teachers always taught me not to begin a sentence with āAndā, but Iām a big boy now so you can go get fucked) - I do still romanticise the other side - The other political side if I may indulge even more actually.Ā
The idea of shedding it all and running away, Hopping from person to person, bed to bed and adventure to adventure (STI to STI) is fucking fantastic! A dream perpetrated by my favourite explorer (Indiana Jones) and my favourite slave trader (Sir Francis Drake). Even now after discovering how accessible it is for me to have the comfy materialistic life, I find myself thinking about that badass āHeatā quote:
"Donāt let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds if you feel the heat around the corner.ā - Not Al Pochino.
Hmm, nah fuck all that. Materialistic people shouldnāt have to worry about āthe heat around the cornerāĀ anyway.Ā
Iām not sure I truly believe in materialism, only that I hope itās not as bad as people say it is, because I have no intention of stopping.
Ā
ā You, the reader, should tell me what you think (without forgetting that the title says my questions are rhetorical of course). -I wonāt change my mind, but maybe Iāll discover someone as arrogant as me, and that would be cool.
