Mis ceños y sonríes


I went to the counter with some interesting library finds.
First, the usual graphic novels.
Which, by the way, the library needs more of. I'm going to have to scout other locations to find more.
Second, a few art history and modern design gems.
Third, a book about the state of consciousness.

The guy noticed the pile in my arms.
And suggested I read more about noetic consciousness if I'm interested in those kinds of things.
A little library flirting if you ask me.

Very interesting.

Things that currently making the anger in my mind spew out of my ears, nostrils, and follicles: (surprisingly, not my mouth)

-Broken phone. The inability to read text messages, dial a number, and screen my goddamn phone calls is driving me insane. Fuck you, broken phone! [I don't screen my calls and then selectively not answer. I still answer all calls.]
-Lack of funds. It has led me to consider jobs that pay between $9-$11. My college degree is squeamish.
-Unemployment. Companies are squeamish.
-Mood fluctuations. But it's okay. I control my rage in public areas/situations.
-Slowly deteriorating hand-illustration ability.
-Worrying leads to continuous nail-biting. Which leads to blood and band-aids.

Some start. 2008 is no fabulous year so far.

OKAY. Good stuff to cleanse our palate:

-Unemployment allows for more reading and movies...from the library and joox.net
-Been discovering and reading some eye-opening graphic novels. Also thanks to unemployment.

I'm sorry. That's all.

Oh no! Wait, you!
I have an observation that I would like to share with you:
Recently, there was a big local drug bust. Several bags of marijuana and cocaine. Almost worth $2 million. Street value.
The reporter stood next to a pile of plastic [ziploc] bags stuffed with drugs.
And I thought "I bet Ziploc is heavily dependent on the drug business. And they know it. They should produce special bags that are decoratively labeled:
-weed, reefer, pot, grass, hash, ganja, cannabis
-coke, dust, coca [for the south american market], snort, snow
Or Ziploc could take the conservative route and just label them "marijuana", "cocaine", and "cocaína".
Whatever. I don't care. If they hired me, I could give them more insightful advertising tips and make this branding sensation happen. But whatever.
