Now, we play the waiting game.

when i'm stuck at the front desk, without my personal music library, i'm limited to pandora. a couple weeks ago, after listening to a friend play "under the bridge" on his acoustic guitar i decided i needed to refresh myself on some RHCP. today, that station was up and a song from the band's most recent release "Stadium Arcadium" came on. when it did, it reminded me of the summer that album came out. it was summer 2006. i remember because as a gift for my 18th birthday, my sister reserved a copy of it for me. i remember my birthday was a good two weeks before the album, but it was still exciting. i remember the album came out two weeks before graduation. for those two weeks, and the rest of that summer, that disc WAS my album. i remember late night drives back from hollywood video (oh that summer of work) listening to that album. i remember late afternoon drives TO hollywood video listening to that album. it's a good album.

uggh. waiting. always been one of my least favorite things out there. no matter what it is i'm waiting for. patience, as they say, is a virtue. patience, to me, is little more than something to create problems. i've never been very good at it. patience with others, sure. patience with myself and things i'm waiting for. . . not so much.

today i submitted my "application" (application is in quotes because there was no formal application, just submitting my resume and a cover letter) for what is probably as close to my dream job of being a major league baseball player as i may ever get. the application is for a Public Relations internship with MLBAM (major league baseball advanced media) but more closely with MLB.com. today was the application deadline, and i managed to get it sent off at 9:21PM. that time will be burned into my brain for the next few days, until i hear something, ANYTHING regarding moving on in this process. even though that time will likely not have anything to do with whether or not i move on, it'll still sit in my brain for a while. but, if nothing else, applying for this internship will have gotten my resume neater and given me a little bit of experience in cover letter writing. i just hope i get the chance to interview at least. . .
