well, i went to the commmunications discussion board tonight. they had people there from wood tv 8, fox 17, and the grand rapids press.

i was disappointed that they didn't have any radio people there.

and it's just more of the same thing. me having questions - unanswerable ones. at least, none that they can answer for me. i have to find out for myself. and nobody seems to know how. aside from getting knee deep into it, only to realize i'm in the wrong place, then look somewhere else. i'm personally getting a little tired of the runaround. but how else am i supposed to find it?

i mean, i have a strange and unique combination of skills and interests. that must mean that i have a unique role out there somewhere. i'd like to think that god didn't just put me here for shits and giggles, with no real purpose. and i'd like to think i can feel good for serving that purpose. but if i don't know what the purpose is, how can i tell if i'm serving it properly, and adequately?

i'm just tired of running in circles, not knowing where to go or what to do.

...

i readjusted the throttle setup according to the bentley. it's definitely smoother, and i have more low-end torque. but it doesn't wind out nearly as quickly. and i was going to try putting the stop-screw into the linkages, so the butterfly would open sooner, but the hood latch release is on the fritz. so now i can't even get into the engine compartment. i'll have to figure out a way to get at it with like a coat-hanger or something, to get it open, so i can fix it. but i didn't feel like doing it tonight. and i don't know if i have solid lifters or hydraulic lifters or what, but i guess i need to replace them. they're noisy as fuck. which is really loud, in case you were wondering.

edit: the mess i have to work with -



that's all for now kids. and my "blow shit off all weekend" thing has yet again come back to bite me in the ass. at least i got to sleep in this morning. so i'll be coherent while i'm pulling the late-nighter. but it will suck tomorrow morning. i think i might go lift weights tomorrow night. that would be cool. by my lonesome...

it's too easy to fall into this cycle. it sucks you in. makes you lazy. makes ME lazy.

have you ever thought of doing radio?
I don't know, you have a really distinctive voice. Out of all the people that I know, I think I can hear you the best in my head. Like I can read a sentence, and imagine you saying it.

yeah. i get that a lot. especially from my family... so i appreciate it coming from a more objective source.

i do like how my voice sounds on recording most of the time.

i think i'll look for a radio internship. maybe i can do one like as a summer job or something.
