  My novel has been stuck in my head for ten years, and I ask myself the same question (What the f*ck is wrong with me?). I hate my job, too. Why do you hate yours, though?

  yeah, can't help sneak thru here every once in a while.

  What I do when I need space for a new post, and have run out, is find one of mine that no one is viewing or commenting on and delete the fcuker. This frees up a shiny new space for some more venting :P

  Oh, I feel that one about soulCast being distracting. I swore I would give it a rest in order to work on my novel. I wrote 180 pages in a couple of months. Then I found SoulCast and I have written two pages since (beginning of June or end of May). SoulCast is good for a party and hearing some great thought-provoking ideas, but you do tend to lose valuable writing time typing anonymously to people who won't know who you are when you get published anyway. Good luck with the book, though.

  hi hotaka, mrhowto, friendsforever and jadelondon. to save some time and space i'll address all of you for the time being, and hopefully by doing so you'll get a chance to get a better understanding of me or what i'm barely attempting to do with this thing. but first lemme respond to everyone before i get too distracted! as you might know i work in a small publisher of bilingual dictionaries, and international cookbooks in midtown new york city. the president of the company is an elderly russian-pole who had suffered a stroke some years ago but still prides himself on being involved in many of the day to day affairs. but he's senile and cheap. i'm getting severely underpaid. everyone, including my girlfriend has been complaining about money and the funny things they've been doing with money. (they have the pennywise and poundfoolish mentality when it comes to money. try convincing this man that in the long run he might save money by spending a little bit more, and you'll have the sensation of trying to explain differential calculus to a monkey.) there's no room for me to move up and maybe make a few bucks more either. i feel like i'm in a career dead-end and i'm only 27. the publishing industry is funny. i have experience and i go on interviews to get turned down - for some company to hire someone with less experience than me. i think i'm gonna start deleting some posts to free up room man. i wanna just blab away! thanks for the well wishes. i'm on my third draft. luckily i had gotten it together enough to finish whatever work i was working on that night. but i have to find a way to get some work on it during my day job. my office has a strange set up so that unless you were to walk into my office you couldn't see what i was up to. again thanks everyone for checking me out. i'll do the same for you guys.

  i almost forgot: where is everyone from?

• JadeLondon said on Aug 10, 2006....

  Ah--I am kind of hesitant to say where I am from because I have been very frank. Let's suffice to say that I live in the Southeast (of the United States). And if you read my blogs closely enough, you CAN figure out where I am residing. Sorry: I leave the challenge of figuring it out to you.

• yankee328 said on Aug 10, 2006....

  i should have been clearer. i know where you're from jade. i guess i wasn't thinking. :-p how are things in kentucky?

• FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 10, 2006....

  Aah! Clear signs of Soulcast Addiction. I should consider putting up a Soulcast detoxification site or withdrawal's anonymous group. I somehow was not amazed at the predictable reaction that the 3 days posting problem brought about. Admit it yankee, you are now a confirmed SC addict.

• yankee328 said on Aug 10, 2006....

  yeah i think i am and i've only been on this thing about a day!

• hotaka said on Aug 11, 2006....

  FaithfulDisciple, if you make a SoulCast detox clinic I think some people will become addicted to that. Maybe cold turkey is the only way out. Just stop using SoulCast altogether. I am going away for five days. I wonder how much scintillating conversation I will miss out on.

• yankee328 said on Aug 11, 2006....

  yeah i think the soulcast detox clinic would be as addictive as being on soulcast. cold turkey is the way out, man! just don't sign in. :-p

• FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 11, 2006....

  Hotaka: They say the initial signs of addiction are the victim's refusal to accept the reality that he/she is already addicted. Honestly, whenever I go online, I tried to stay away from Soulcast. But the sudden barrage of autobot emails sent by Soulcast bot regarding sites we participated in is just too irresistible not too even take a peek on those responses. Warning, the minute you open up to those posts, you're already hooked. If you really want to get away from SC, I suggest that you immediately trash all incoming emails from Soulcast. Enjoy your five days of cold turkey. It'll be sweeter when you come back, you'll want more than what you gave it up for. :)

• yankee328 said on Aug 11, 2006....

  i've yet to get another e-mail from soulcast yet. i guess soulcast just doesn't love me enough. :-( i'll be spending time with my girlfriend this weekend so i won't be worrying about soulcast too much - i hope. we're celebrating our first anniversary together. or i should say we're continuing it with a romantic weekend. : )

• hotaka said on Aug 11, 2006....

  Congratulations on your first anniversary. I have to go pick up my rental car now. See, moments before leaving for my trip I am still here. Aaargghh!!!

• yankee328 said on Aug 11, 2006....

  hotaka, thanks for the congratulations. : )
