This is my first attempt at blogging so bare with me. Will people really care what I have to say? I don't know. I think I care. Well, here it is:
I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. At 37 I figure I still have a few good window shopping years left though, right? Yesterday I wanted to join the state troopers, day before that I wanted to council your children and maybe even you. Shoot, I've recently been a photographer, writer, actor, comedian, director, movie critic and even a network administrator.
Funny how none of those offered me the benefits package I need to survive. (Releasing tongue from cheek now). YOU HAVE THE JOB I WANT, DAMN IT! So do you and you and you and you!
What the hell went wrong? In the nineth grade I knew I was going to be the best pitcher that ever lived. In the 10th grade (still pitching) the ever popular Yosemite Park Ranger gig threw off an aura of clear red (That's powerful,energetic and passionate, for you non gypsies).
WAKE UP! Clear eyes and wipe drool! Yep, I'm stuck! Stuck in a job I hate but a life that I love. Hopefully not for too long though because I can hear the cogs a spinnin', smell the dust a stirrin' and I can feel the reverberance of the cerebral machine waking up.
Look out!
Hey Gary! Congrats on the new blog! Welcome to my world ;0) I love my blog and don't know what I have done without it for the past 4 years. I care what you have to say!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you are saying about what you want to do with your life. I am 36 and still trying to work it out. I still feel like a teenager in many respects. Do a lot of 30 somethings feel this way or just us I wonder.
You sound like my husband a couple weeks back...looking for a career change. Hope you find something that you will love...it's never too late! Now, I need to motivate myself to go back to nursing school!
