Two Weeks--So They Tell Me

So, I have done all that was asked, and now its on a two week "wait-and-see". Which seems fitting, given my current obsession with the song "Two Weeks" by Grizzly Bear

This Process of applying to Roadtrip Nation has been an odd journey. I am resisting the tendency to invest too many daydreams into the notion of getting accepted to the show. I really would love the opportunity and I think that it would be a fantastic experience, but if I get it or not, it is as it should be, and I take solace in the fact that I did not back down from the challenge of this application, and that I maintained, what I believe to be an honest and genuine disposition and position--what does it really mean: I didn't run from the opportunity and I looked towards honesty rather than blowin' smoke up their proverbial asses.

Anywho, I loaded some of the video's up to my Youtube account, so if you feel so inclined, you can click the links below and check them out.

Currently life is odd. My engine still sits in a state of disrepair (waiting for parts parts parts), and I haven't worked for the farm in a week, but I haven't called them, nor have they called me--I don't know. Life is weird; life is good; life is great; life is poor, and so forth.

I wrote all the above yesterday (3/7/2011). Today is 3/8/2011, and well while writing that my cylinder block showed up! So I moved my work bench inside, and have begun assembling the head! Woooohoooo! It was a nice to get a bit of a direction at the end of the day.

After that I went out for burgers with Marissa and our friend Adam. We had a good time, shooting the shit about this and that, and I even asked our waitress out. Naturally she had a boyfriend, but it felt good to throw it out there. We all thought that perchance she was interested in yours truly, because she kept on touching my back when she came to the table, and she spent an awful lot time talking to us--who knows, perhaps we just confused good personable service with romantic interest. Either way, it felt good to put it out there, and it wasn't awkward in anyway.

Ok So here are the links to most of all the interview videos. A big thanks to Pablo for filming this, and to Marissa for inspiring and supporting the process.
