So about a month ago I was at a lan party. It was pretty fun. Played lots of video games drank lots of red bull. Now if you know me, then you know my love for red bull. Everytime I leave the house I grab a red bull, its quite the amazing drink. In fact one of my friends last week mentioned she's never seen me without a red bull in my hand. Anyways, during the lan party the Red Bull Mobile Energy Team showed up and handed out free drinks. This was turning out to be quite the awesome weekend. I started talking to the Red Bull reps, asking them how they got such a cool job and such, they told me they just filled out an application online...

A couple of days after I got back I told myself what the hell, might as well go for it. I started filling out the online application and such. I even had to make a resume and send that in. When it came to the part on the online application where it said 'No applications will be looked at with out a resume' I thought I was pretty much screwed, because well, mine sucks. I went for it anyways.


It's been about a month now and with out any word from any other place that I've applied to I figured I was destined for the NFL team. (Newicks for Life) Until this morning. Yes my friends, I've caught a glimmer of hope that may pull me out of the black hole of the fish pit.

It was 11:30, I went to bed around 4am, waking up off and on all morning, probably hadn't slept for longer then an hour stretch. My cell phone rang. I was supposed to go to the mall with a friend at around '12:30 or 1' she said. So I picked it up assuming it was her bugging me to get out of bed.

"ITS ONLY 11:30 COME ON!!" I yelled

"Uh..... Hello, this is Jason from Red bull... should I call back at a more convienient time?"

CRAP! I quickly apologized. The phone interview went well, he seemed like a nice guy and it sounded like he was interested in me, I kept making him laugh. He's going to call back tomorrow, I'll be sure not to yell at him this time... I'll have an official meeting with a group next week to see how I work with people and as a team member.

Getting paid to share the glory of red bull with others. This could be my dream job.

I was taking a shower this afternoon and after I get done washing all my parts I tend to just relax and let the warm water run off of me for a bit. As I was enjoying being warm and naked, two things I love but rarely experience at the same time) I started to read the back of my shampoo bottle.

"You know true beauty is more than skin deep. But try telling that to your hair..."

Was the opening sentence to the back of my Finesse shampoo bottle. I had to read it twice more, once to make sure I read it right and again to confirm the stupidity of what it said. I contemplated who would write such a thing. The only thing that came to mind was a hideously ugly insane person. How did I come to this conclusion you ask? Well, let's think about the statement for a moment. You know true beauty is more than skin deep. The only people who would say something like that are ugly... I'll admit maybe some Christians do too but they only say it because they have to. Now someone who tells me I should say that to my hair has got to be insane. I picture anyone who talks to parts of their body or any non-living objects to have a few screws loose.

So I guess Finesse hires insane ugly people to write blurbs for them... People, I think my job search has come to an end!
