working stiff: slang term for a member of the working class

I'm beyond grateful to have a job again. Although 4 and a half months doesn't seem like that long to be unemployed, it felt like an eternity to me...an eternity of twiddling my thumbs. So now I work at Albertson's Grocery as a Cashier and Customer Service Clerk. I'll also start an internship at the Idaho State Historical Society's Research Library and Archives come June 15th! All in all, I know one thing's for sure, I will always be a working stiff.

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
