Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Babe I miss you, you know

And I?ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
?I?m fine baby, how are you??
I would send them but I know that it?s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I?m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I got to go home

Let me go home
Cause I?m just too far from where you are
And I gotta go home

And I feel just like I?m living someone else?s life
It?s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Oh, Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
I said let me go home

And I?m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
Cause I?ve had my run
Baby, I?m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
Cause t'll all be alright
And I?ll be there tonight
I?m coming back home

- Website problems...

Not that anyone noticed, but my site has been down for a few days. I'm not sure exactly what the cause was. It happened when I tried to fix file sharing between my two computers. I'm now thinking that may have been just a coincidence though. I changed a lot of settings and things and finally got it back up. One large frustrating mess in a week that really didn't need any more stress.

- I don't wanna...

- I don't wanna go to bed. Not fair. I gotta get up at the ass-crack of dawn to go to work. I'm not tired. I'm a nocturnal person with a day job. Ick Ick Ick.

- Job

So I start a new job Monday. Well, paperwork and training anyway. It's been two years since i had a "real" job. I'm not thrilled about it, but I guess it's time to get back to reality.... whatever the f*ck that is. My life has been through a lot of changes in the last couple years. I can't think of one that has been for the better. All of the changes that I was excited about, I failed to make them happen or make them stick. Life goes on, I suppose.

I guess I'm a little nervous. I'm honestly baffled as to why these people chose to hire me. I went in for a second interview a few days ago and I had to go head to head with another woman who also wanted the position. She was clearly more of a "people" person. I may have computer skills, but I felt more like they were looking for personality. That's a trait in which I'm seriously lacking. I was seriously shocked when I got the call on Friday asking me if I wanted the position. Maybe the other woman ended up turning it down?

My 12 year old neighbor told me to sign up for a myspace so I could check hers out. That was a couple weeks ago. Today, a friend sent me a link to a myspace blog written about him by someone else I know. So I start browsing and happen across several people I know. I predict that pretty much everyone will have a web presence in a few years. The web is a beautiful thing (except of course for spammers and the like). http://www.myspace.com/lunargeek if you're interested.

- Rant

I'm sitting here in the middle of the night, can't sleep, just thinking about life in general. I can't help but think of what has been said to me more than once about the way people see my life through rose colored glasses. But, I'll tell you something... I'd trade it without a second thought if could have what you do.

Resent me because I haven't had to work in the last couple years. Take a moment to remember that I made a brave attempt to find myself in those couple years, but I've lost more than I've found. The only one person who ever loved me unconditionally is in a box on top of my desk hutch. Ever think that you were born in the wrong time and place?

So like everyone else, I'm trying to make the best out of life. Looking for work has proven to be a bitch of a task. Ain't it great to be living in the one state in the union that is losing jobs? Yeah, I could go on for days about the things I hate about Michigan, but that one is just reality. I read in the newspaper that job recruiters are coming from Wyoming and other states to try to hire people from MI that can't find jobs here. In every interview I go on, I'm trying to sell myself over the 30 other people applying for whatever crumby position I'm trying to acquire. Social and sales skills are not my strong points.
