frustrated...

not to be a debbie downer or anything, but it's REALLY frustrating when things just DON'T work. searching and searching for a good job, finally getting an interview, really liking how the job sounds, the people that work there, great benefits, and then bam...they low ball the ever loving shit out of you.

last night was a doozy. i'm okay now because i have a plan. but still, it'd be nice to stop having this job hunt hanging over my head.

i'm just so frustrated and discouraged. i am good designer. there i said it. i am. and i deserve a good job. it's really discouraging when you see people that don't have the slightest clue about design and they have the job you deserve. they didn't work for it. it was handed to them. and they're not even designers.

i busted my ass for 4.5 years for this? no no no..this can't be right.

but in other news, jazz fest was EPIC.

band of horses.

pearl jam.
old crow with ED HELMS!
van morrison.
the dead weather.
bb king.

lauren saw maggie gylenhaal.
apparently she walked right by me and i didn't even notice.

but....the greatest moment:

jack white, in three simple words, changed my life.

"it's just water."

thank you jack. never again will i hate the rain.
i will embrace it and forever remember that last 30 seconds that the rain poured down on me while you played the shit outta that gretsch.

"will there be enough water?"
there was that day.

p.s. alison baby, i love you more than ever. you never cease to amaze me.
