sometimes I wonder if the rest of my life will just be a meaningless cycle of going to work, coming home, going to bed, and then going back to work again.

Hey, that's me! What can you do to overcome that? I'm thinking it may be having kids. I'll be 30 in a few months, and I feel my life has been stagnant for the past 5 years. Because nothing ever changes. Go to bed, wake up, go to work. Repeat. 5 years goes by, and you're no different. I think with kids, at least, you can measure time by the phases of their childhood.

I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next. By that, I mean bowel movements.

lol irl 🙂

thanks Nebor. hehe.

Hmm...

Well, a bit over 2 years ago, a friend and I were going to move out together, and it seemed like everything was going good. But then I was laid off, so that didn't work out. I had been living with my Mom, who was moving to California at that time, and that didn't interest me.. so I moved back in with my Dad.

I still don't have a job. That sucks. I sell things on eBay, but I'm beginning to wonder if thats a good thing, or a bad thing. It's like it just barely strings us along. Perhaps I would feel more pressure to find a job if I didn't have that source of income. I don't really need very much since we live with my Dad, I guess, but I still know that I need a job.

I don't really see living with him as a bad thing, it's just how it happened. About a month after I moved back in with him, I met my girlfriend. As far as I was concerned, this just showed me that I was doing the right things with my life. Since she wanted to finish school where she lived in Washington, the first 9 months of our relationship was long distance. At the time, I was kinda glad that I didn't have to go to work and worry about bills and such, since I'd probably spend about a week a month visiting her & that was important to me.

She moved down here that summer, and that's when I started the eBay stuff. I'm not really sure why I didn't find a job during the last year and a half. There are no excuses, I guess.. I just didn't feel like I needed to.

Now that she's basically out of school(3 days left), we're really starting to put our future plans into action. This summer is when we hope everything will come together and we'll be able to move out on our own.

Here's the thing with me, though. I could have(and should have) been using that time to go to school. She's going to be going to massage school in the Winter, and I'm kinda afraid that I'll get stuck working full time and not really have any time for anything else. If that's not bad enough, I have absolutely no idea what I would go to school for. I have way too many interests, and it seems that they change with the seasons. Automotive engineering/mechanical engineering/thermo and fluid dynamics, electrical engineering, botany/horticulture/forestry/genetics ... I'm not sure I can pick one and be satisfied. How the hell do you people decide "what you want to be"?

/head explodes

Oh well. Could be worse. At least we don't have 2 kids with 1 on the way.
