Hello all there in the blogosphere. Here is your friendly friend The Big Bukowski with the optimistic response to your day to day problems. Of course, you got to worry about the basic things: jobs, money...most of the time both of them being mutually exclusive. You may be stuck at a dead-end job or have no job at all right now but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a fun time doing it. My column will tell you about useful things to kill all that time you have your hands right now. Kill it like a bystander in Grand Theft Auto 4.
Think of this time as an opportunity. An opportunity to catch up on all the crap you couldn't do while in college. Do you still have that 4 disc Blade Runner DVD set you got for the holidays that you haven't opened it yet? Are you chocked filled with books that you wanted to read all semester but reading from your classes prevented you? You have old school video game machines collecting dust? Everyone's talking about Lost and you haven't seen a single episode yet? You haven't been to the movie theater in years? You want to *gasp* write something that defines our generation that will be adapted into a 100 million dollar movie starring Edward Norton as your protagonist, which is actually a thinly veiled version of you?!
This is the time to escape. If you can't escape from your parents' house yet, then at least you can take in some escapist fare. Everything I recommend in this column will be either A) Cheap or B) FREE. I'll swing towards the latter option. It's time to start saving but it doesn't mean the world isn't available to you until you get some money in your pocket. The world is yours now. It may be big, blue, and filled with angry people shouting at you but, to quote from the book of Gob, it's all an illusion. Go out and conquer it future Caesars of the world. Jobs are overrated anyways.
