moving on
i'm currently trying to get a job that can cover the expenses that i have created for myself. today i went to two job interviews, and i have to return to one of them tomorrow for a second interview. i don't even know what to call it because she wants me to be there at nine and i won't be leaving until five thirty. sounds like they need to put me on the payroll if you ask me! i envision myself getting hired and becoming one of the best employees that they've ever seen. my dad always told me- "if you're going to be something, be the best at it!" it may not sound like much, but that's some damn good motivation for a young man like myself.
i've been analyzing my life and i'm anxious to move to the A-town. my hometown is NOT where it's at. there aren't enough opportunities for someone of my stature. macon is full of people who are satisfied with $7 an hour, and don't let someone offer them $10 because that's like Heaven. that. is. bullshit! and i'm not putting my hometown down, but i want more of my people in high positions, not struggling in the ghetto because even though there's a lot of talent and even more intelligent people in the projects and low income housing, most of those people never get recognized because nobody has put that drive to do something outstanding into them.
we are black people. do you know what that means? that means we have to work twice as hard to get the same amount of respect as the next person in our same position. and even though it's not fair it's a way of life; it's been that way for a long time and it doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. it's up to us to do something about it. god creates a destiny for all of us, but it's up to us to find out what that destiny is. i'm still trying to find mine. i'll let you know if i'm successful at it.

i'm stumbling blindly on this path. i'm walking slowly as if i just learned how but now i know every step has been ordered. divinely and purposely ordained by my creator to ensure that i am exactly where i need to be when i need to be there. sure i'm broke and sure i have to cry alot more these days than i thought i would, but i walk on, not because i'm a masochist, but because if i don't move, life will pass me by and someone else will get what was prepared for me.
so walk greg. and know that just because you don't know what's next, that doesn't mean that there's nothing there. you just haven't figured out the logistics. i'll call you later. love always.

Such a small world. I'm not from Mac-town but that is where I'm currently living. I totally understand the "content with $7 an hour" mindset that runs rampant in this city. Good luck with your job search.
