This is The Sort of Stuff I Gotta Write if I'm Ever Going to Figure Out What to Write About
So lately I've been trying to figure out where I want to go with my life. I'm 27 and a high school graduate. Haven't done any post-secondary, mainly because... well, I have no clue what I want to do. And I'm too stingy to want to go into a program if I'm not sure it's what I want. Even after checking out some universities online i still have nothing, so I'm at a bit of a stalemate. I'd love to do something in the entertainment industry, be it books, comics, movies, TV, video games, whatever, preferably in a creative capacity. Problem is, I'm too practical to actually think that I can actually make a living doing that.
Which brings me back to why I brought this blog back from the dead. No,I'm not naive enough to think it'll springboard me to fame and fortune, though I certainly wouldn't complain if it did. But, at the very least, it should give me an outlet for some of those creative juices. Doing this is the next best thing to being paid to write! Plus, this way, my ramblings can be heard by more than just the people I work with. Now everyone can join in the terror.
Incidentally, here are some choice quotes of things I said today at work. I just really want to get these down for posterity:
"The internet can't give you mouth-to-mouth."
"If you get pregnant at work, can you get workman's comp?"
"PMS.-ing is the ultimate deterrent: the nuclear missile of verbal sparring."
And, yes, these quotes DID make sense in context. Believe me, I was there.
