Ancient Myspace blog entry
Auto Response: to my close friend.
I don't really have time to respond to everyone who leaves me a comment that says, "Hey Mike! how have you been? What have you been up to?" Are you dead? If I were to respond to everyone, I wouldn't be up to anything.
So here is my auto Response to you, my good friend:
Recently I sold my soul to the Devil and have been working as a temp for different property management companies. I make copies and live in a file room. i forget about the pain by drinking lots of black coffee and striving towards my material success goals of owning a porshe and a trophy wife.
but on the weekends i let loose. as soon as i leave the office i rip off my white shirt, burn my tie and paint naked until till the wee hours of the night.
i wake up next to a bottle of absinthe and don't know why i am I covered in oil and surrounded by paintings of little, old chinese men doing calisthenics.
Monday morning I enter the office again in my slightly faded, blood stained, white shirt and tie. i tell no one of my experience and sit quietly in my cubicle as if it never happened. I occasionaly make small talk with folks like Barry the Accountant and ask how his kids are. The week is a blur until friday comes and without a word i walk down that same dark path, pulled toward it like it is some strange, slient addiction.
besides that, not much you know, just chillin'. how bout you? miss ya
Mike

I get embarressed.
That said I don't want to be the wet blanket of the internet, so please don't take me too seriously. But I've been kinda depressed lately. and if my situation stays this way too much longer, I will be uber-depressed.
I've been diligently looking for a restaurant server or bartending job for over a month and have come up short. I don't mind most types of rejection but if someone is looking for a restaurant job it usually is some sort of back-up plan for them. And when your back-up plan doesn't go through it can be quite depressing.
An interesting thing happens to me when I get depressed, I start reliving scenes in my head of my 9th-11th grade life. And not that awesome parts. One recent one...
9th Grade, 1996:
I had acne (at the time I thought it was horrible acne, but looking back it was only moderately bad). None the less I was mortified by it. Not only that I wore braces (the clear ones that turned gross yellow). I had really bad fashion sense and a shaved head due to football initiation. I was so embarrassed by my acne that I got an idea from a "Home Improvement" episode where JTT got a big ole zit and he used a little cover up. So I grabbed a bottle of my mom's foundation and carefully blended a thin layer to the affected areas (nearly a full face of foundation). My confidence rose, and each day I would get a little bolder with the foundation until my acne wasn't too bad at all. But then my acne started getting worse and I had to use even more makeup.
Until one day in homeroom a girl I liked was talking to me (which she never did), stopped, took a closer look at me and asked, "Do you use some type of cover up"?
I acted sort of dumbfounded, "Huh? what?"
"you know, like make-up. foundation."
Acting like I had no idea what she was talking about, "No!" she left it alone, and I felt really awkward.
That was 15 years ago. At the time I was so embarrassed that she found out my secret. It embarrassed me for the rest of the year. Since then I haven't thought about it more than a minute. It pops in mind today, and I get so embarrassed again. But its brand new embarressment, sitting here in my cube I am as embarrassed as I was at that moment. I am not embarressed like the first time, being caught wearing makeup. But embarressed of how I reacted to being caught.
I wish my 29 year old self could go inside my body at that moment and respond with a dead stare: "Yeah, I'm wearing make right now. Being 14 is a bitch."

I hate it when you go follow up on an interview and they say...
This reminds me of a similar response I would hear several years ago, "oh! Hi mike, I really like you, buuuut i just want to be friends." -cute 15 year old girl who sits front row in Algebra.
But the 15 year girl is not a grown up. A 35 year old man needs to learn how to talk to people and not be such a female anatomy word. While trying to sound professional and non-rejection-like you come off arrogant and unempathitic. Be a man and say, "Dude, I'm sorry. We didn't pick you. Deal with it. or try again later." I can connect with that.
"Mike, thanks for having the stones to ask me out. I respect you for that. Most boys your age just make fun of girls when the like them. But unfortunately Mike, I'm just a little out of your league. Don't worry, keep at it. I bet in 10 years you will be awesome, I'll marry Johnny Football. He will have a drinking problem and I will have trucker hips."
