Cactus Hug


You know what the saddest part of this is?

The kind of cacti you see on television are actually extremely rare. Saguaro cacti only grow in the Sonoran Desert which is mostly located in Arizona. Most of the time the arms develop at somewhat random angles, but for about half of the life of the cactus, it has no arms at all. It takes up to 75 years before a Saguaro even starts to grow an arm.

This cactus has been waiting for a hug longer than you have been alive and probably longer than you will live. And that's terrible.

(Also sorry about the lack of bloggings. Many topics are just better/easier in video form.)

I Need a Job

Alright then.
I don't have a job. This is a problem. I'll be paying rent next school year. Real rent, honest, $350-per-month, Broadway pay-or-you're-homeless rent. Even if I were to manage a job during the school year, there is no way I'd be paid enough or work enough hours to keep up a cash flow that justifies my lack of job.
I need a job.
It's not like I don't want a job. I desperately want and need a job because otherwise I do not know what I will do. I just haven't gotten a job and it's incredibly difficult to get a job when nobody is hiring and giving jobs.
One month of summer has passed and there are three to go. June has started, junebugs are singing, May has died and gone. Our time is running out.
I have a few options for income. If my channel ever gets partnered, that will bring in a few dollars, but nothing even comparing to a real job and definitely not enough to make ends meet. I could try selling t-shirts or something, but I doubt I have enough of a "market" to make it worth the effort. It's not like I have thousands of adoring fans and people screaming "I would like to buy something with something you said or did on it, my good sir."
The last option is to move to a big city, become homeless and play my ukulele on the street for change. The sad part is that this is the smartest option. I really hope it doesn't come to that. Does anyone know of good money-making opportunities online or in the Michiana area?
Until then, I guess I'd better devote myself to the job hunt. And writing. Nothing like being a poor writer.
Ooh! Also, here are some things I drew today because why not?
