Ok, so I tried [a href="http://www.Craigslist.com"]Craigs List[/a]. Thank you to Nat for this peice of advice, but sadly any job that it could provide is outside of my reach and expenses at this point and time.
It has a good bundle of jobs though, I used it a while when I lived out in California.
California was an interesting place, alot warmer than Tennessee is, of course. I actually fit in down there, being a bit of a different person (Though... everyones different in thier own way, I suppose)
I finally got what my grandfather was trying to tell me about being different. I supported individuality my entire life, and I am my own person because of it... but this unique person doesn't get far in life because he's so different. People don't give this person a chance.
When you dress one way, don't act suprised when you get the reaction you deserve. I was told this in so many different ways that it was beginning to get on my nerves. But when I moved back from Cali, where I was able to spread my wings a bit and be my own person, I was nearly turned away from the town that knew me so well. It's as if they had completely changed in my absense... until I realized I was the one who had changed.
Life is weird that way. You work your entire life to make yourself stick out, and if you take a risk like that you have a good chance to end up being shunned by everyone for being different. I am proud of those who stuck it out and became something great, but it's not for me at the moment.
Now I'm back in the redneck hills, where my long black hair, my gauged ears, peirced tongue and dark demenor, that used to mean I was my own person, now only means that I can't get any further than the front doors of a place, much less than get a job.
Radioshack was different in that aspect. I cut my hair, but they didn't mind my ears. This is saying something large, due to the fact you could litterally fit an index finger through my ear-ring holes.
My brother became so selfish when he didn't get a job. I can't believe that man would do that, then again I guess it's what I get for depending on someone else. He got a good lead on a job, and I hope he gets it. However, if he does I'm most likely to lose the job I'm about to get before they ever say yes due to the fact I won't have a way back and forth to said job.
On top of that, my wife's AC cord died today for her Laptop, which will cost us 80 bucks to get a new one, and I don't think it can be "repaired" for less... I'll ask while I'm down at radioshack though... I've got a question, I hope they have an answer.
So here's to everything and anything. I'm going at it differently this time. Instead of expecting people should understand me, I'm trying to understand all of them and conform to what they believe is right. Will it get me farther? Who knows... but right now, I really don't care.
