What is this? Two posts in as many days???

I totally forgot to mention several things in my post last night. Perhaps because for some strange reason I decided to try what a shot of rum would taste like (It tastes terrible, never do it). Actually, it probably was like half a shot--maybe 15 mL? Suffice it to say, I think I burned the first several layers of my esophagus off as well as created an ulcer the size of Massachusetts in my gut. If there was anything that's not me living in my throat, honey, it's dead now. On top of the effects of a drink that is 40% alcohol by volume, rum tastes like shit. I mean, it has this bizarre sweet thing (I know, it's from sugarcane) combined with the potency of the alcohol that left my mouth in pain. I'll happily stick with my lighter alcoholic brews.

But anyways, I got my job at the state parks for this summer, so if you come down to Cheyenne Mountain state park at all on a Friday or Saturday, I'll be taking your money! I get to wear the cool park ranger outfits and have a badge and radio and all. And you have to give me money...that I kind of get to keep since I'll be paid $8.02 an hour.

In other news, I'm a total blithering fool, and I think I am finally getting that. I'm more determined after the last week that I've had (more like weekend, really), to affect a permanent change in my life. I'm tired of this, and I'm ready to stop it. I guess it factors into the reasons I have for wanting to move. Washington D.C. doesn't have the effects of Colorado Springs, and a new environment is a new opportunity to affect what I so desperately need in my life, more than ever. I say Washington because I have not heard anything (STILL?) from Boston. Ireland would be more ideal, but with the Fed deciding to print a trillion dollars to weaken the dollar even more (SERIOUSLY? STOP PRINTING FUCKING MONEY!!!!), the dollar-euro ratio is going to PLUMMET. If the Europeans thought that they were going to have few American tourists this year, wait until that money floods the market. I would not be surprised to see the ration reach $2.00 per 1 Euro.

I could all too easily go and live in Europe. Despite the fact that they are far more liberal than I am, there is something about the overwhelming sense of history, culture, and vibrancy in Europe that is eroding here in the US. I'm just saying.
