SWEET!! The Dodgers got Greg Maddux, he is been my one of my favorite pitchers since I was a kid. I think it is time to buy a Dodgers jersey...and I think I know which one.

Okay, so I have applied for a couple jobs and on the application I said that I will be available anytime after the 18th of August. So this should give me a jump start on looking for a job. I also have that head hunter out looking for a job for me also. Why must I be a Krause, nothing comes easy...I want something just to be great, quickly and easily...but that is probably too much to ask. If worse comes to worse I am going to apply to petco I think. I could run the fish department. Steph and I were talking to this guy at the sacramento store, and he said that he runs the fish department and gets about $12 an hour...which is not good, but it is better than nothing. So I would probably stick with this job for a while, then hopefully get a better job doing what I really want.

I think I am getting a bit more excited about the trip to Yellowstone. It is one of the last places on my list of places to go to in the United States. I still want to go to Hawaii and Alaska too. I am lucky in that I get to travel places with my family, though this will be the last one.

I am also getting anxious about moving out. Starting a new chapter in my life will be fun. My college life has had several chapters, the first chapter would be freshman year, my second would be sophomore year, then my third is finally coming to a close with graduation and moving. Wow, this next chapter will be fun and interesting I hope, new place to live, and a new life in general. Change is good sometimes, changing to often is bad though...unless it is your underwear...then once every other day is good.

I am feeling a bit more content with life now, I think I have finally come to grips with doing nothing for the moment, then getting back to the grind after I come back from yellowstone and mount rushmore. Though I still cannot stand just sitting around all day, but I guess that is good because it is motivation to get up off my ass and get a job. I am not too sure how a person could just sit around and do nothing productive all day. I mean sure it is fun for a few days...but it is worse than work. I am not stimulated at all.

Oh, I tried that new steam vac that steph and I bought and it works very well. Tamo and I should be getting most of that deposit back. I am thinking about buying a gallon of paint and doing some touch ups. Oh that reminds me, I have some phone calls that I have to make tomorrow...and I have some rebates to fill out....oh and I have to change addresses on my magazines...I guess tomorrow I might be stimulated...well it is later today now...oh well, I guess I'll go cause some trouble....oh Shark Week on Discovery...good stuff...leights.

Dictionary.com defines worthless as: Lacking worth; of no use or value. That is how I feel. I have no money, no income, and I am depending on my loved ones way too much. I know things will get better eventually, but they are pretty grim right now. I hope that I will be able to get a job as soon as I get back from vacation, so I can start paying off my debts to loved ones. It has been keeping me up at night because I owe so much, hopefully the vacation gets that off my mind...but I know that I will be plunged back into worry once I get back.

On a more postive note the baby oscars are doing well, I think we are going to have a few make it to fish selling size. Maybe 50? Oh well, that's all for now...

I have been talking to some people and they have said that it is not very likely that I will get hired because if they have to train me, which might take some time, they dont want me to forget it all during my vacation. So I do not know what I am going to do.

On a separate note I am a grandparent again...well almost, becasue it appears that my oscars have given birth to several hundred eggs...geez...

made some phone calls...chances of me getting employed before I go on a 2 week vacation is slim to none...

Look at the time... I have not had a good nights sleep in a long time, I am not too sure what it is either... well I am... it is the whole job thing that is killing me. I have not found a job yet, and I really really need one because I am running out of money. Well running out would indicate that I have some money, but in reality I have pretty much nothing. This sleep thing is really bad too, I have even tried taking some tylenol pm to try and knock me out, but that did not work. It really sucks because I don't fall asleep until late, then I wake up at like 11am, and I am sleepy all day and I feel like shit. I dont nap, then when it comes around to being bed time I still can't fall asleep for the life of me. It feels like my bed is made out of stone or something. I can't fall asleep on it, all I do is toss and turn...and nothing until usually around 6 in the morning when I just pass out...only to wake up and have this start all over.

I have finished my final resume, and I am going to be mailing out applications tomorrow...or later today. I also have to call AAA about my membership. God I feel like shit.

As corny as this sounds I also miss steph. I wish she were around to console me.
We have been together for four years now, and when she is not around it contributes to my crappiness.

Okay, time to go and do nothing...

I got back from Stanford (Palo Alto)yesterday and it was a hoot. I finally got to swing a bat again when we went to this place called Malibu. It's kind of like a Castle Park thing. We raced go karts (at 45 mph), went to the batting cages (where I belted a ball straight into the main support, and then we won over 800 tickets on about 10 bucks. Tamo and I kept hitting jackpots it was great. Then after that we played softball. I had not played softball in such a long time...it was so much fun. We played for 3 hours and I am sore as hell, and I cant find my alieve.

Oh, and the Zidane headbutt in the world cup...funny as hell. Who the hell head butts a guy in the chest? Zidane that's who...way to go man...way to go. We watched that thing over and over again...hey thats what the guy gets for giving Zindane a purple nurple.
