Idea #1: Start a blog

I have tried to start a blog twice in the past, but there's a difference between then and now. That difference is that I'm unemployed. And frankly the excuse "I just don't have the time" doesn't cut it. So here I go. This blog will highlight different ways to get through unemployment....as I discover them.

I'm not doing this to get famous as I predict I will have between 2-4 readers on a good day. Job applications should take up a good amount of time but not enough to fill up all the hours in a day. Therefore I'm using this as a distraction.

A background to my perspective:
While I'm unemployed, I'm living with my parents. I am beyond grateful for their assistance with a place to live and food in the fridge. However, I live in a place where I don't have friends since my parents moved here after I went to college. Buffalo. Great place if you have roots here, or have friends, or know what to do for fun. For now, it's a little lonely for me. But hopefully I'll discover some fun things around here.

A message to fellow unemployed people: patience. That's what everyone keeps telling me, and what I constantly have to remind myself. Only time will tell if patience pays off.

A message to those of you who are employed. I hope this is somewhat entertaining. And when it's 2:30 and you wish you were not at work, remember that you have a job and that's a good thing.

=)
