If I were to work for the Government, I would want to be. . .

And the answer is: FBI Linguist

-I'd get to use my language skills
-Serve the country in directing policy
-I'd get to read tons and understand more about Latin America
-Analyze and interpret data
-Figure out the Latin American psych
-9-5pm
-Benefits

One major drawback is that I would be confined to a small group of colleagues.

I enjoyed another visit with that Career Counselor from Singapore this morning. Today, we talked about the Campbell test and what bearing that had on my current [unemployed] situation. He accused me of being a "window shopper", which I am. He told me to go out and DO what I like to do.

Up until now, I've been a real pansy when it comes to actively pursuing my career interests. (I've also noticed a startling correlation between my career search and my social life.) What I need to do is volunteer, get internships, and then, jobs with benefits. Once I've found something I want to really pursue, go back to school for a Masters Degree.

F.Y.I. The tongue must have been photoshopped! There is no human reason why anyone wearing a suit would like another man in a suit.




P.S. Mom, I mailed you my Campbell test and a CD with a video file of my apartment introducing ourselves at Ward Prayer.

    that photoshop picture cracks me up. I agree, there is no human reason for the lick but the guy in front's expression is perfect!

    As for the FBI, go for it!! I agree whole heartedly with your Singaporean counselor, go and DO!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
