A Real Job
Like I've said before, seeing my work published always lifts my spirits. And boy did they need lifting today. I'll just put it this way: The News is now my only job. Retail is not worth it. And reading my contribution to the GuideLive front page itself reminded me that no matter what's going on that's so lousy, I've got so many other, better things going on. I, too, can be as cheerful as Gene Kelly if I wish to be.
P.S. - Tara also contributed to "Revel in the Rain."

MEANINGFUL QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I guess I could be pretty [upset] about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." - Kevin Spacey in American Beauty

I love Singin' in the Rain. And retail is stupid. But I love my job(s).

I always preferred Rocky IV to Singin' in the Rain. Last time I checked, Singin' in the Rain didn't single-handedly end the Cold War.

Right you are, Josh. Gene Kelly never ran up a mountain in preparation for an international fight, but his laughs were intentional.
