Looking over my last post, I had a few thoughts.
One being "wow, that was vague." The second being, "was I stoned when I wrote that?"
but of course I wasn't. I don't do that kind of stuff. That's all regarding that.
So for the first time in awhile, I am absolutely broke monetarily speaking, while waiting for my first paycheck from my new job. But that's alright. I'll survive. Although it can be slightly frustrating.
Money was my motivation for staying at my last job for so long, and looking back I can definitely say that money is a horrible reason to keep a job, at least when it comes to where I'm at in my life. As far as my new job is concerned: I work at a frozen yogurt shop called Yagoot (similar to Pinkberry on the west coast). And even though I'm being paid a little more than half of what I was at my old job, and working 10 hours less a week, I can still say that I love my new job. For one, I was already friends with a couple people that I work with, and even though I'm a newbie, all the people I've met at the Rookwood store have been awesome to me.
On another note, I've pretty much decided that I'm going to sell my PS3 and games. For one thing, they are a distraction and a waste of time. I want to focus on growing my photography skills. Secondly, it's worth $500 with the games. That's possibly a new lens. Or lighting. Or a new external hard drive to store pics on (my other 2 are almost full). You get the picture (pun may or may not be intended). I've already been asked to do 2 photo shoots, which is amazing considering I don't (purposefully) advertise myself at all.
I plan on writing a post about the Mexico trip soon, when I have time. It's too much to type out in just a few minutes. So that will hopefully come soon.
Well, anyway, here goes nothing.... or something....
Hate. Crime. Poverty. Ignorance. Liberals. Conservatives. (those last 2 are sad yet true jokes) The government. Your boss. The status quo. Et cetera, et cetera
There are an infinite number of things people can find themselves working, standing, and/or going against. Yet one will never find themselves (successfully) going against time.
Imagine, if you will, a river. Its current is steady, unchanging, and consistent all the way across. This river is time.
Now imagine you are on a boat. Whatever kind of boat you want. The only catch being that the boat has no engine, paddles, or oars.
Because, as you should be well aware, as much as you would like to, you can't go back in time, or speed time up, or slow it down. All you can do is go forward, at the speed of the current.
That boat, is your life, drifting ever forward... eventually leading into the ocean of eternity.
The question is, what will you do in the meantime?
