My nightmare... Someone else's joy... [Jun. 18th, 2009|03:49 pm]
Nick
Typically I don’t remember my dreams… I’m not saying that I don’t have them; I’m just saying I like to repress the dream the moment I wake up. But for the past couple of nights I keep having a recurring nightmare. I keep envisioning missing my make-up appointment. And once that appointment is missed; I beg, plead and attempt to cajole the manager to fit me in, so that I may make my wedding. And to no avail….

The dream is driving me nuts…. I can handle the money (not really but it’s not driving me insane), relatives descending on Vegas… But the thought of trying to apply my own make-up has me sweating bullets.

New Commitment? [Apr. 15th, 2009|12:18 pm]
Nick
So after work I am going to visit a dojo and see if I like how the instruction is carried out. I’m nervous I haven’t been to practice is such a long time… I keep thinking about what if I like and able to afford it… I will be making a lifelong commitment to the dojo, the sensei and the other participants to the class. It’s nerve-wracking…. What if I like it and it’s too expensive for me. If that happens, I think I will be heartbroken. But I need some form of martial art in my life…Something to help with the rage. :) So wish me luck!!!

The Book was okay. [Apr. 13th, 2009|11:22 am]

I read the new book “Redheaded Step Child”, written by Jaye Wells. It veered from not liking it to being okay. I don’t think I will buy her next book, but you never know. I think what killed the book for me was plausibility. I just didn’t buy that such a kick-ass assassin would blindly follow anyone.

The smell of new books!!! [Apr. 8th, 2009|12:28 pm]

I went to Borders last night to purchase two of my favorite author’s books: “Turn Coat” by Jim Butcher and “Curse the Dawn” by Karen Chance. As I was shopping there I realized why I like Borders better than Barnes & Nobles. Coupons!!!

I finished “Curse of the Dawn”, but I can’t start Jim Butcher’s book because we are still working on the Condo and I kind of have to help.  Once I start reading a good book I don’t put it down until it is over. Although I do put it down for bathroom breaks. (And yes I often forget to eat when I am reading the book) So I can’t wait for the rest of April to come by for more new books.

My Hatred of Home Depot: [Apr. 7th, 2009|03:38 pm]

It is immense…. I hate the fifty million trips I make buying items that in theory make my house a home. I hate the boring aisles, which are endless. My eyes just glaze over once I enter. Yet I must be focused and resilient! If I fuck up, then I would have to make an additional trip to through your hallowed halls.

I haven’t really done anything substantial with my life. I’m usually juggling between work and boredom. I miss school. I wonder if my language writing skills have deteriorated. I know my spelling has. Now I just speak in fragments. And I can’t creatively construct a sentence, pity.

* * * * *

While I’m glad I went to school right after high school, I was in no way prepared to select a career. Funny, the whole idea of a career is that you spend the rest of your life working in job that satisfies you spiritually and financially. How bogus is that. People work to survive. The job just ensures that you able to keep the lights on for another month. I have no clue how my parents managed on so little.

Now, sitting in the chair of this dead-in job, I wonder if I should have taken the easy way out and followed the flow of familial expectations. While being miserable working, at least I would be financially secure, whereas now, I’m miserable and poor. Independent and in-debt is now my lot in life; is there any feasible way to change it.

I can’t go immediately back to school I have to pay off my car. Working a full-time job, allows me to meet most my financial obligations, barely. I am not sure what I want to spend my time on.

That’s what’s it’s really about. What you spend your precious, valuable and limited time doing. When you die, what will the majority of your memories consist of? I would rather lead full life than a successful one.

So where does that leave me?

So it's official: I have to go back to school.

I don't want to, but there are several reasons why I should go back:

1. Financial motive: I'm broke; a masters would help me garner more pay from prospective employers.
2. Family Pressure: Mom, dad, sisters and friends all keep asking me when I'm going back to school? What am I going to do with my life?
3. Sick of taking shit. I'm sick of taking shit from incompetent bosses. And, while i'm aware i'll always have incompetent bosses, at least i'll be better compensated for it. (Much Better)
4. Reliability: I know what to expect from school. I'm good at it. You study, do well on the tests and as a result receive a shiny new piece paper.

But where does that leave me:

If I cave into pressure, and go back; will I just work my ass off for another useless degree? I don't want to get my masters in a subject that is completely useless in the real world. On the flip side, I don't want to get an MBA and be stuck in crappy job that I hate.

I took time off of school to figure out what to do with my life.....

I still have no fucking clue.
