Should I apply for the seasonal park ranger job at my local park? I don't meet the requirements but it's certifications I can get before I start which I will mention if I get an interview. I'm hesitant to apply, though, since I don't have the requirements.

Should I do it? I like the environment and being outdoors and maybe I'll get to shoot people messing with geese. I'm kidding. I'm American, I can shoot whomever I wish.

It's not that kind of job. It's just part-time making sure people don't mess with the park that I take my dog to sometimes. Watching over the animals and making sure no one fucks with the geese as I have seen some people do which I will SHOOT THEM. Going to make sure I say that in the interview. No remorse.

I just read it again and apparently I need a driver's license to do stuff, which I don't have because I hate driving. Welp. I wanted to get my driver's license anyway (I'm late 20s, it's about time) so I guess I'll just wait for the winter seasonal thing. Probably better for my allergies anyway as it's been a hell of a season already.

"Kurtz had a power over the jungle and its people which was inexplicable. Kurtz is one of many men sent into the jungle to rape the land and its people of its natural resources. Many men have journeyed into the jungle also refereed as the heart of darkness never to return."

Kurtz was the übermensch Nietzsche spoke of. Kurtz completes loses himself to create a version of himself so much powerful then his prior being. Where every other white man failed, Kurtz succeeded. Through pure force of will he thrives. He was the master of his domain.

I read Norwegian Wood by Murikami over a few days sitting outside marinating in the sun, it was bliss.

Last summer I read Ferrante’s Neapolitan series about two girls growing up and becoming women in Naples. It was a beautiful read with great imagery, meaningful themes, a smooth read, and just the right amount of joy and sadness.
