I'll get you Tom!

My head hasn't been in "the game" for quite some time. I don't usually make goals for myself but this year I laid out a bunch of specific things I wanted to accomplish. It was ambitious and I really wanted to hit the ground running in 2006. Well dammit if the world just didn't want me to do that. So I've been wallowing in that disappointment which only makes things worse. I feel like the dog chained to the tree. You know, the one Tom from "Tom and Jerry" use to stand just out of reach from. That dog wants at Tom so bad and that leash is stretched tight as far as it can. Tom just stands there taunting him. Well, I'm the dog, Tom is my goals and the leash are things like calling services that don't book you work, internships that take up too much of your time but don't do you any good and apartments that are too expensive. I feel like I'm choking on it all right now. That's ok. You have your laugh now Tom. Someday I'll get you.
