Hail and well met
Well I was just gonna post about how I went to see "V for Vendetta". How it was a great movie and I had a great time with good friends/extended family. All of which is true but I was going to omit something.
I feel like crap.
No I am not sick. I am just down. Down and out.
You see someone said something to me and it has all but shattered any idea of my worth. I don't mean the insubstantial worth that my friends see in me. I mean the documented worth that stupid pieces of paper give you in the "real" world.
A friend had offered to do up my resume. I have never done one because I was pretty sure that there was nothing of note to put in it. But given the recent turn of events in my emotional life I thought I was wrong. Well after spilling what I had for past work experience and such to her she went to work. After several hours she had to give up. As she put it "There was just nothing there, it looked horrible".
Yup as far as the "real" world is concerned I am a useless git. A tit on a boar hog. A fifth wheel on the car of life.
Not the most uplifting thing to hear. Did wonders for my self esteem. Oh yes I had some before that. Now I am just a bug waiting for the windshield of life to speed by.
SPLAT!
Well there goes Matt. Turn the wipers on.
Oh I know that all of you are going to say things. Thank you in advance but the sad fact is that you are not the ones who could hire me. You are my friends and thank God that you don't require valid certifications for that.
Gonna go to bed now. Hope to catch some sleep. I would wish for more but I have to do Kirby a favor tomorrow so I have to postpone that. Later definitely though.
Had fun at the film. Laughed afterward at Steak and Shake. I decided to enjoy the moment, cause the future just got a little darker. Meh at least I can still go to work at the Post Office, if I can manage to get a good score on the test.
Yeah hope springs eternal. (that was sarcasm)
May the Force be with you
Excelsior!!!
(written more out of habit then meaning)
I try and take life one day at a time. But lately several days have been ganging up on me. Can you "Save Vs. Life"?

Matt well since you don't me and I don't know you I am not obligated to say anything nice, but, you are forgetting everyone has to start somewhere, don't beat yourself up, so your resume doesn't look good oh well fuck it, start from scratch, everyone has been there at one point or another. So your resume cant talk for you big deal, you seem like an intelligent person, you will just have to speak for yourself, and you can't do that if you are feeling bummed so pick your chin up and realize the potential that you can have. On a job interview you sell yourself, your resume is only a small part of it, so don't give up. Good luck.
Listen. You're running down a friend of mine.
You're suggesting that I'm not very good at choosing cool, creative and impressive people for friends.
Frankly, I won't stand for it.
The measure of a man has nothing to do with how much money he earns, nor the glorious things on his resume.
Why, Matt lifted a bus, once! I was there! I saw it! He swooped in and protected that puppy! And while he was at it, he tripped the guy swiping someone's purse and foiled a bank-robbery.
But the coolest thing ever is that Matt wrote a game that I think is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. And one day, I'm going to prove it by publishing it for him. :)
So, quit running down my friend. Quit telling my friend all those nasty ideas. And quit marginalizing a creative, protective and gentle man who has given so much to so many for so little recognition.
Matt is my friend and I will stand by him till my dying day.
There aren't very many people who can make that claim--and it's worth a lot more than $1,000,000 a year.
My resume is the suck now, too. It goes from a Supervisory position in 2004 to a drive thru position in 2006. And nothing in between. So I get the pleasure of explaining that I was also a failure at becoming a professional actor.
Re-read what Ben wrote, because it is freakin' amazing. And read it again anytime you are feeling down about yourself. You have a true friend there, and as a chick who didn't have any friends for a long time, I know that that is something precious.
