Alright, so, I was out earlier trying to find a store that sold Hispanic foods (I found one, so there's one problem taken care of) in the hopes that either my debit card would work here (no) or that $17.48 would be enough to buy everything I needed (yes) and I happened upon a movie theater with a help wanted sign in the ticket kiosk.

...Which is great. That's exactly what I needed. But I'm sort of curious about whether they're going to be able to check any of my references? Does anyone ever check references or is sweeping up popcorn and Mike & Ike such a menial task that anyone capable holding a broom could do it? I mean, sure, it'd be nice if my former managerial position could mean something more than $7.50/hr and filling sodas for eight hours a day, but should I hold out much hope?

Also, I know it's summer and it's about two years too late chronologically, but I can see the NYU campus from here and it's kind of getting me right in the feelings. This was supposed to be the future for me and now it's the past and I totally missed it. It's weird. And I've coped with weird before, but this is really weird. It's just right there and there's nothing I can do about it.

I suppose this is better than the possible alternative, though. Considering all the shit the keeps happening back at home and the notable lack of masked killers around here, this is almost good. And then I look out and see those purple Tisch banners and I'm just like... damn.

Yeah, if there is a highest being... I mean, I don't think we could ever comprehend it and I get that religion, as a cultural function, is a way to understand things that are that much bigger than us. But I just never had much use for it? Besides, I come from a mixed-faith family, when you're raised with three different faiths it's kind of easy to see where they all overlap and just apply it in a secular way. Like, the tenants are nice, but man the fandom sucks.

	Sometimes the worst things about religion are the people who practice it. Not everyone! Just the loud assholes. I don't want to participate in that type of fandom. I'll just enjoy my Star Wars fandom instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are loud assholes who are atheists too, though. I try not to be one of them, try to keep an open mind with everyone and everything, but I'm also not afraid to call out either side when they're being dicks. There's just not enough time in the day to be that bitter. And I, the human coffee bean, know a thing or three about bitter. So take it from me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
