Video released by SpaceX of a pad abort test.
“The video is filmed from the point-of-view of an astronaut inside the rocket — the rocket that accelerates from zero to 100 mph in 1.2 seconds, that is.” x

The largest known star in the universe, compared to Earth.
In order of appearance - Earth, Sol (Our Sun), Sirius, Betelgeuse, Canis Majoris.
Canis Majoris is in fact so large, that if it were to replace our own sun the star itself would extend outwards past the orbit of Jupiter.

Once again, I got rejected from a job the moment i came into an in person interview which is strange since the person was desperate to see me only to cut the inteview short upon noticing I am not what she thought i was (I’m brown skinned.)
This has been happening to me for almost 2 years and despite my 10+ years graphic design experience, I guess it’s not enough, i get the fake smile, the awkqard atmosphere and then “Well…we were really looking for someone who is self motivated and creative….” Even though they already saw my portfolio and resume and just had to see me as I would always be the first one to be interviewed. Afterwards I would get the “Well…we’re still interviewing and …we’ll be in touch” Nonsense. ::sigh::
I guess i’m giving up all together…i’ve applied to over 2000+ job applicaitons and I either get job rejections automatically or situations like this when I actually get my foot in the door for an in person inteview.
Perhaps I wasn’t meant to work for anyone and maybe this is God telling me to focus on Cosmic Funnies as my job.
Whichever it is, I am tired and wanting to give up on life. I work so hard and I feel like i’m getting nowhere.

I don’t emjoy asking for help but sadly I have no choice but to humble myself and ask for help since this world is so cruel that sometimes I just want to off myself. I’m seriously tired of living.
Thanks for your support….and have a great day.
