Slowly, yet surely, yours truly is beginning to realize his greatness... Well, maybe I should say that others are beginning to realize my greatness; I've been telling my friends and acquaintances since I realized this myself some point during my high school career.
To be more specific, I had a job interview today that went flawlessly well. That's never really happened before. I usually end up saying one thing that I wish I phrased differently or made more eye contact or insert random, nervous thing anyone does on an interview. If I don't get this job, then Donald Trump or someone else must be getting it. I felt very comfortable at the organization (who's name I will withhold in case I start working there and I get stalked on the internet! When you're this great (and black) the internet police will come looking for you. Well, I guess anything described as police will look for you when you're black but yeah)...
Anyway, I was busy writing thank you notes to the three people I met with today (I do this every time because my roommate works as a recruiter and she forces me to [and yes I have a woman as a roommate and no I am not dating her, we are the best of friends!] as she says it's more professional or some other ish) and I get another job interview inquiry from a school! I'm pretty pumped actually.
To dive into a small bit of history, I have gone back and forth with the notion of becoming a teacher. Some days I think that it's what I'm meant to do and other days, I don't know how I would survive! I love kids but something about being a teacher seems much more difficult than being their camp counselor or tutor. So I was talking to a friend who is a teacher and who is so passionate about what she does and absolutely loves her children... and I got jealous. The next week I wrote a very intense cover letter describing my love of children and my back and worth war with teaching. I doubt anyone would actually read the 85 gazillion pages I wrote but some dude at this one school did and now they want to meet with me?! What?! I'm just over here living the dream of (f)unemployment, getting contacted by jobs that I actually want!
Slowly, yet surely, I'm becoming even greater. No casualties to list thus far but do stay tuned.

REALLY?!
Hello Internet,
I've been apart of a blog with a bunch of friends for sometime but many of us stopped writing consistently. The slacking, in which we all participated in, came after President Obama was elected. Come to think about it, myself and the blog's other creator began the blog as a sort of web campaign for our President... so we really didn't have expectations after his election.
But it's all in the past now! Here I am to concentrate on my favorite subject of all time: me! The "REALLY?!" in the title refers to the fact that whyimhated.blogspot.com was available! No one wanted that yet?! In the words of the great Ed Lover, C'mon son!
After I relearn how to do all the fancy stuff like use a different template, add pictures, create an "after the jump" jumpoff and other cool stuff, this blog is gonna be on and popping. It will be very random, as I am one to be entertained by very random things; so prepare to be entertained, if even minimally. On my rise to the greatness, there will be casualties. Hopefully you will not be one of them.
You know what everyone says... don't judge a blog by it's first post. Well, unless you're judging that it's gonna be awesome. In that case, judge away brothers and sisters, judge as much as you please.
