has been consumed with figuring out this AdSense thing.
One thing you guys will learn about me is that I fixate on things like mad sometimes. Today it's AdSense. I had another blog I monetized with AdSense and it went fine, but since I'm using a different e-mail with this blog I have to link it to my other e-mail's AdSense... I have been trying to edit my layout and all that to see what ads will look like but they aren't showing up so I've been trying to make sure nothing is bugged, although inevitably I probably have to wait 24 to 48 hours for anything to show up any way!
Damn being impatient :/
Otherwise, I have been trying to read the Vedas. I started with Rigveda and it's all a bunch of hymns about gods I know next to nothing about and I feel like I need some kind of back story in order to understand what the hell these little lyrics are talking about. Or is it just one of those onion type deals where you keep peeling and eventually you reach a layer that somehow brings everything together and makes sense?
Anyway, here's where I've been reading it: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/.
If anyone has any suggestions about reading this or if someone wants to confirm that there is indeed a relevant text that could give me some context to go along with the hymns in Rigveda, please! By all means :)

a tiny ass intro
Just a couple of short months ago I graduated from college (university, for you non-American English speakers out there).
Since, I have traveled the country and come full circle back to the place where I started: Atlanta, Georgia.
Now, I am just like most other recent college graduates: broke, and struggling to find a job ... or at least a job that says, hey! I can totally see why I got a degree to do this.
Unfortunately, like a lot of other recent grads out there, my degree probably has about the same marketability as a bachelor's in philosophy. I graduated with a degree in Applied Linguistics. Half of you are probably about to google "what the hell is applied linguistics," while the rest of you are exclaiming, "Why don't you go teach English?!?!" To which I reply, "Shhh...all in good time."
So? What the hell now?
This blog will be used to chronicle my days of post-graduation boredom, shenanigans, and job-seeking. In this day and age when, for the first time, my generation has dim hopes for the future ... why not blog about it?!
Stay tuned for more updates, and share your post-graduation experiences by emailing me at hello.ello.blogs@gmail.com!
Also, participate in the poll up top~! The prompt is, "Now you've graduated. How hopeful is the future?" I'll obsess over its results until I find a way to make them useful.
