So to be honest this website got a total of mayhaps 50 views a week back when Joel and I cared about it. BUT, hopefully I can resurrect it and give it a true aim. Not easily done with such a random imagination such as mine.
Little update; Obamas President (hell yes), I still play WoW. Joels 6th anual Eat at Joels was a success save for my dislocated finger and yet another year of people offering a pool and failing miserably at fulfilling their end of the deal.
So I need to figure out a direction to take this website. Maybe see if I cant get joel to do some nonsensical whimsical ramblings, Dr. David Scott im sure will be returning to explain more about Gnarples and Gnarplism, he hasnt been to happy with the fact that Gnarples have yet to make it onto wikipedia. Maybe Theoretical stuff with the occasional rambling. I like writing about Universal expansion and the theory of Special Relativity, it makes me feel smart.
In closing I offer you few readers to spread the gospel according to Brown pocket! may it grow into an outlet of pur geniousity and fake words!

In the wake of the loss of Tim Russert, I would like to be considered a potential replacement. I am not quite as jolly as him, but I am also not nearly as imbecilic as his cohorts. (a terrorist fist jab?)
I may be a bit young, but the quest has now begun in earnest for a job in DC. Journalism? Capitol Hill? Both are appealing, but it seems fully plausible that I will end up with neither, doing PR, another job type that interests me.
Looking for a job is, for my point of view, pure Hell. You spend months writing, calling and altogether pimping yourself out, most of the time without even a recognition of your existence from an employer.
“One day they’re going to regret this,” you say. But maybe they’re just beating you down. Beating and beating and beating till you give up on your quest to show them. You decide “well, this is good enough.” Eventually all your jobs are just “good enough.” Eventually, you have no such thing as ambition. This process moves quickly for some people. Some people never learn. Those people run the world.
But that meantime, fighting for motivation, trying not to get discouraged and somehow convince yourself that editing this cover letter is worth it, that the marginal benefit of the effort exists. I don’t just want a job. I want a job I like. The battle has begun between me and the world of people hiring. I’m no quitter.
