I can't tell the buildings from the people, the strangers from the steeples

I am digging orange juice lately. healthy, yet delicious. probably cause it has a lot of sugar in it. bastards. oh, tropicana. you fickle beverage. but seriously, I bought these little cartons of OJ and they are adorable.

today was a bad day at work but it gave me a new sense of my purpose there... if I'm going to get better at writing, I can't half-ass it. not that I am, in fact, I do three different jobs within any given week. however, the area I can improve most is my writing, so I'm going to stay a little longer at work to get better reads on copy, etc. I want to work more on the Web aspect of news. tomorrow, I'm going to shoot video of Biden's speech for the Web site, because I really suck at video and need practice.

all I know is I've been given a great opportunity. I'm doing what I set out to do when I started college. I'm proud of that. and maybe I shouldn't say I've been "given" that opportunity. I worked damn hard to get where I am. but there are a lot of other qualified graduates that could have taken my place. this gives me all the reason to work harder.

I still think blogs are pretty stupid but I hope this serves as a reminder about where I'm going and what I need to do to get there. peace.
