Gmail is a dog with a twig tied to it's head

Waiting...
I'm sitting in this boat just waiting for word back on jobs, and freelance opportunities.
Three to four people are supposed to respond to my e-mails but no, they sit in their respective cities hoarding information like the Grinch did with gifts Christmas morning.
Am I supposed to sing?

No this isn't quite right... because the Whos didn't need their toys for Christmas to come. Maybe employment is Christmas... Am I the Grinch? Aghhhhh! Someone give me a job before this metaphor gets out of control!

Sometimes, when you need European Vacation, nothing else will do

The last post was a little negative, so in the interest of balance, I'm going to post something good about California now.

As I write this, I am sitting on a boat in San Diego Harbor, waiting for the sun to set. I came here by way of the Pacific Coast Highway. Driving that road from Long Beach to San Diego in a car with the top down is like experiencing California's Greatest Hits.

Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, beautiful people... It's no wonder that a large portion of the nation's artists come from here.Everything is so mindblowingly georgeous that I'm forced to quote the Great Clark W. Griswold Jr.:

It's so beautiful, I feel so...
I feel my juices are just... It makes me so...
I want to write. I want to paint.
I want to sculpt something massive.
I've got a creative urge to...
I wonder if there's a men's room around here?
