No Job- Day 1

Today is my first day of unemployment. Well, technically speaking its my 9th day but who cares? And really today is the first day my previous job stopped paying me. Whatever. 
So, what did I do today? I woke after a vividly disturbing dream about a crazy stoker person who looked slightly like Hagrid from Harry Potter (he had a flying bike, it flew cause it was connected to two flying Pegasuses) to find R, my dear partner in life and Mister Lover Boy, getting ready for another day of school and work. I obviously felt happy for him and shitty for me cause I knew I'm going to be stuck at home sending CVs all day long. And, well that's what I did. I sent loads of CVs to jobs I'm not gonna get or don't want to get. Then I felt sorry for myself for a few minutes...
..
ok, I felt sorry for myself for half of the day. Wearing Lover Boy's old pants and faded T-shirt didn't help. Not brushing my teeth in the morning and looking like a homeless person didn't help either.

After sending the CVs I basically had nothing to do.. 

so.. I watched this Great Game Of Throne's video on Youtube and I liked it so I watched this and this and well this. This comic girl is Great! She can tell a story and her robot guy is awesome! 

Anyhow, after spending most of the day on YouTube, Facebook and loads of news websites (I LOVE news websites! Reading/Watching news is my favorite hobby) I decided that brushing my teeth and taking a shower will be a nice idea, oh the wonders of my exiting day!

So after the shower  I needed some motivation which I got from This Ted Talk: 

And... now I'm drinking wine and waiting for Mister Lover Boy to come home... maybe being unemployed is not that bad... well as long I still afford this cheep wine...






Very first...


This is the time to say hello! 

I am a wanna be blog writer who has nothing better to do so here I am! I've been meaning to start posting a blog for a while but I always put it off... its a wonder how mach unemployment motivates the bored! 
What is this going to be about? Mainly my personal anything about everything, be it my life, politics or literature. I am a well trained ranter, political science and literature degrees do that to you, so be aware!

Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin... I can't stop thinking about these two all day long. I keep imagining small action figures of the two fighting over a miniature globe until it is torn apart. 
I'm thinking Ukraine... and Syria and the next best thing really. The question is why? Is this a new Cold War starting? Or just power plays? Do they want us to compare their pants and see who has the bigger one? (Spoiler, man with big dicks dont need to show them off) 

Well we all know who has the bigger one here, don't we?
(check this out)

Somehow dear old Vlad seems to get away with anything, be it his cruel stance on Syria or the blatant occupation of Crimea (even though here I see why the Russian can claim to be doing the right thing). Some will say that America  under Obama is being smart, and cautious and that there are these sanctions nobody gives a shit about. And that's the truth, Russia, at this point, is strong enough to stand against the west. The question is, is the west strong enough to show super powers like Russia and China (for instance) that they do not dictate western policy. Not that western policy is any better really, not when there is a blood bath going on in everybody's back yards. Frankly all we see done are youtube clips about saving Syria's children.  Well Syria is a long rant so I better leave it for some other time.

Wow, this has been pointless yet satisfying... I guess there'll be more to come after all!
