The list

Hello!!!

Are you excited!?!? Yeah, well, you should be! Tomorrow is Saturday and, YES, you will have a great day. Speaking of which, I bought a t-shirt yesterday (sales rules) that says: "Let's have a great day", and has some birds on it and flowers and stuff. I hope I'll have some awesome days this Summer so that I can properly enjoy the t-shirt. I can't always wear black. Well, I actually can, but I like to wear other colors once in a while. Specially, during the sunny season of the year.

In fact, maybe it's already Saturday there! Well, do me a favor and enjoy it! Ok? Ok. 

So, today I am gonna make a list of the things that make me happy. Why? I know you don't care ^^ don't worry, but MAYBE some of the things that make ME smile, are also capable of making your day. It's quite possible, right?

Sorry, I'm late

I shall begin this entry by saying "I'm sorry". Yup. I haven't been much of a blogger lately. Oh, the shame! It's been almost a month since my last post but, hey, I'm back!

As you may know from previous publications, I'm currently unemployed and...yeah, just as expected: it sucks. Really, it's annoying. Today, for instances, I received an e-mail, a response from one of the companies to which I sent my resume. My heart jumped, I opened an e-mail and...another "unfortunately we are not hiring new collaborators at the moment". It's kinda depressing. I've already received four responses like that...five? Whatever. One of them came with a bonus. It said something like "don't give up your dream" at the end. Really? Well...you are definitely NOT helping, you know that?

So, yeah. This is a positive blog. A happy blog. But we can't always be happy. That would only happen if we had some serious emotional problems. Bu we can't give up. Ever. Giving up would be taking the easy and useless path.

I could just end this blog like I did to many others. I could spend my days laying around, not looking for a job, like I see most of my unemployed family members do. I could just give up. You could also give up. But we don't do that! Not in a million years! Not after a million negative responses - and I really hope it won't come to that! We keep fighting and we will succeed. Or we'll die trying (that would be kinda dramatic...).

On another topic, yesterday I saw a really (apparently) cheesy movie that ended up being really cute and kinda lovely. Me and my brother saw "About Time", from Richard Curtis, starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnall (how the Hell do you spell that???) Gleeson. I gave it a 7 on IMDB. It was cute and different from the usual romantic crap, which is always nice.

And I just began watching "Shameless". What do you think? I'm just heading to the second episode so...I really can't give an opinion just yet. But it's with that girl from "The Phantom of the Opera"! And yeah, I know everyone is going nuts with "Game of Thrones" but I'm reading the books and I really don't want to imagine the actors while I'm reading (I'm sort of a book nerd and I really like to picture everything in my mind, without exterior influences) so I'll watch the show after reading all the books. Considering that the chronicles are yet to be finished...that will be in ten years from now...maybe. I don't know.

So, good night everybody! I promise I'll be a much more present blogger! 

See you later, alligator!
