I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
New York, New York, God Damn New York... I am torn every five minutes between wanting to make this last and wanting to get the hell out of here as soon as humanly possible. For starters it's too fucking cold out and all I end up doing is staying in and second I am convinced that absolutely no one has a job, even the people that you see in the stores and stuff, like it's all just an elaborate ruse; come on Berry work your magic. It fucking sucks being in this city with no job or prospects of a gig that will actually pay. It's not for lack of trying but this is some bullshit. I can sit on my ass and not work back in SD too and I wouldn't have to go shopping in 12 degree weather. Everyone says that a BA will let you go far, not in a recession/depression my friends. I just saw a headline walking home that said that jobs were expected to plummet tomorrow, I sure as shit am not going to hang around here and be poor. New York has got a meter running and It's almost done for me right now. I know that this is supposed to be a big time for actors out here with the impending strike in LA but people fail to see that the jobs out here are fruitful for UNION actors, non union still is non paying so I'm still screwed. I need some sort of hope in the form of a job would be nice cause I'm starting to loose my damn mind.

It was weird shopping during xmas time because so many people were buying loads of stuff and I kept telling people, ARE YOU SURE WE'RE IN A RECESSION? Maybe no one just told those people. It was crazy, especially the traffic on the roads and more people had xmas lights up than I've ever seen. Maybe it was all just my imagination.
Yeah, I remember when I was finishing my BA, and I thought that would get me a job in theatre administration/production for $40K a year. 5 years later, after making $12-14/hr as a dresser, I realized that I would have to go back to school to make a decent living, whether that was in theatre or any other field. Now I'm working towards something that will allow me to make about $70/hr, but I'll owe more than $100K when I'm done with school. So I'm still screwed.
