New Bonobo today yeah yeah whatever < BLACK FOCUS! 

So I wake up extra early this morning, because one of my goals this year is to get into a construction union. Local 731 which is a great paying union was giving out only 300 applications at 9AM. I proceed to brush my teeth, shower, and head out my house early. Put on pandora and Drake comes on, I was already having an emotional morning thinking about someone and the song that was playing just made me want to call this person...Fukin' drake lol. She probably wouldn't pick up anyways so I shoot her a text, push my pride to the side because I feel like even if the feeling isn't mutual it should be said; never hide your feelings. I proceeded to continue my journey. I get to the train station on Gunhill and the trains have "signal delays" I'm not worried I'm super early, almost two hours ahead of time. Patiently waiting I'm starting to see that the whole bronx is at this train station because I never seen so many people at this stop ever. This train finally arrives after 30 minutes. Everyone dashes inside the train it's super packed like a can of sardines. I think I saw someone standing on top of someone that's how packed the shit was. Frustrated now because I like my personal space and now I have none, and some people don't brush their teeth in the morning so they have the zombie breath. It's whatever anyways...fast forward time, I'm like 30 mins early waiting for them to open up. I ask for an application. They look dumbfounded and say what application? They had no idea what I was talking about, I'm like the local 731 application. They say this place is only for local 78 & 79...I was at the wrong place. Granted that's my fault so I blame no one but myself. So I proceeded not to quit and to GPS the location, my iPhone says that I'm 20 minutes away from the location by car. I tried to get a cab for about 10mins and couldn't get not one car to stop so I walked back to the train station to figure out this mission. It's now 9AM and I'm no where near the location. I'm on already on this mission and I'm not going to quit, so I find a map at queens plaza and I'm super deep in queens looking for this location. I had to take another train to Steinway, walk about 20 blocks got lost again! because it's on 36th street and 35th avenue which got me dizzy as I'm standing in the middle of the street wondering if I was in the right place because I didn't see anything that looked like a training center. I remember thinking to myself that queens needs to change street names into places or people because this is confusing and so upsetting. It's now 10AM and I finally reach the destination. As soon as I walk in there's a big sign that's written in sharpie saying "NO MORE APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED!" 😡 I was mad, disappointed, and on top of that I still haven't received a reply to my text. Not like she's supposed to reply but we can all hope for the best😅. Let's just say it was a bad day. I told myself not to get down on myself for long because I thought maybe this wasn't for me. Maybe this was made to happen because I really tried. I can't put myself down. As long as I stay persistent I'm going to land something nice. On my train ride back from queens I thought to myself a good theory. Nothing in life comes easy, if your not playing the lotto your never going to have a chance to win the jackpot. If I'm not trying everyday to look for a job then I'm never going to get one. Till next time —Yussef
