Aisle 5

Aisle 5: Stationary

Well it's been a bit now hasn't it? Yeah after finishing up my thesis and graduating I've been at a loss for words. I'm kind of just finding my way around again.

It's interesting, the from the last day of exams to about two weeks after graduating I felt incredibly light headed. Everything looked new and interesting yet it all was exactly the same. A large pot of stress had melted from my body and the world was new. Now here's the kicker, right now I feel a bit more lost than I did in college. I'm in stasis mode right now. I work and that is all. I'm attempting to get in to a grad program but firstly I'd like to just have a decent job that will pay my bills/rent and allow me to live quasi comfortly. Technically I have that in the form of two jobs, one is very nice, the other is absolute CRAP. Which is why I'm off looking for new gainful employment.

On a side note I've been thinking about how I would act with one hand. I'm not sure where this thought came from but it's been on my mind for the past few weeks. Let's say my right hand was torn from my arm, in some train wreck or... let's be adventurous, let's say a homeless man ate it. Now why my right? Simply, because I enjoy writing and would like to still be able to do that. So here I am, right hand in the belly of a homeless guy. How would that change me? Job wise I'd have a bit of a problem adjusting but as a person it might not be so life altering. Though there is the fear that I would never be able to act on stage again, however no where in Hamlet does it say that the forlorn prince actually had BOTH hands. I wouldn't be able to juggle, though I can't now so what's that to me?

It's a thought.
