Artistic Cover Letters

...and the Universe Formed From Random Thought

Happy.
What a strange sensation when it comes.
Afternoon sunlight.
There's afternoon sunlight dancing across my desk.
For a brief moment I don't feel quite as inadequate as I usually do.
I've never taken drugs, but I feel (wait I'm 25 now), I know, that I'm on a temporary high.
Why?
I had a "successful" semi-interview with a prospective employer.
Did I get a job?
No.
So, what did I get out of it then?
The fellow seemed to like me.
What a strange sensation.
Somebody likes me.
...well...
that's not so strange.
My Mom likes me.
My brothers like me.

The Artist's Craft

B: Yeagh, but this fellow isn't family.
This fellow likes me just from what he's seen through my cover letter.
The cover letter.
The cover letter which I crafted.
Ha! Ha!

The Artist's Deceit. The Artist's Mask.

I hid all my faults.
I only highlighted my good points.
I didn't talk about sleeping twelve hours.
I didn't talk about spending whole days watching Star Trek episodes.
I didn't talk about not being a very good son, or a very good big brother, or a very good member of the human race.
I only talked about my good points.
HA! HA! HA!
I have deceived!
glee! glee! glee!
I have veiled truth and called it truth and another human being was deceived.
HEE! HEE! HEE!
HA! HA! HA!
Al Borlan : [deridingly] "That's enough Tim."

What Is Art?

Deceiving others?
Getting away with hiding your feelings?
Pretending everything's ok when it's not and calling it "Artistic".
Madonna: "Art is about screaming who you are in a way that doesn't scare people away."

I Write "Artistic" Cover Letters

I feel down.
Me: Wait five minutes. It'll pass.

Happy

Ultimately,
1. I wrote a good cover letter which I actually do like.
2. I do have a plan for my life, even though I'm a "procrastinator."

Jr. High School Study Guide: "DON'T PROCRASTINATE!"

Me: "GO TO HELL STUDY GUIDE!"

Myself: "I tell ya, this whole being human thing is weird beyond recknonin'."

and,

I: "I totallee agree. I can't wait to go back to being a rock. Now that's the life. Admire the skippin' stones all day."
