Another week thoroughly conquered and shuffled into history. I've always detested that Office Space Friday mindset where everyone you bump into greets you with a "happy Friday!" These days, stacked with work, school and exercise, I find myself one of those people, blithely struggling through the week with just a glimmer of hope at the end of the rainbow.
Is it wrong to think it's strange to truly enjoy less then half of your life? I enjoy school as much as anyone who goes back after a break (i.e. I enjoy it more than most, less than some) but, to be perfectly honest, I'd much rather spend my mornings with a paper at a coffeeshop in Coronado, my afternoons reading and writing of my own accord and my evenings sipping syrah on my porch, listening to music before falling asleep to a good movie. Holy crap, I should retire!
Clearly flying off-topic... anyways, what I mean is that I certainly enjoy life, get out of it as much as I can and love the progress but I just hope it all pays off. And I don't mean a 7 figure paycheck, I mean financial stability, a career I love and the time to do what I want to do with my life. I work very hard and have been working few hard for several years with no intention of slowing down. I'm really not looking for any guarantee, just a feeling that the light at the end of the tunnel is really there, taht jumping through hoops is a phase you get over. I have no intention of retiring at 40 or 50 or even 60, I just want to work hard on my own accord, on my own projects... on my book and my own theories and my project car.
I really do need to retire, crap.... how much do I have in my wallet?

..."book"??? Do tell. Is that meant to be a generality inescapable with the coming of age, or a reference to an acutal project in the works? We both know how my plans to get published remain a mere memory (thought not completely defunct). Sigh. BTW, like the new blog color scheme. Many thanks from the Ritalin-poppers of the world :)

So I'm sick at home. Saturday night. Time to catch up on your blog. Remembered this article from a couple years ago, tracked it down. Thought you'd appreciate it: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pacificnw/2003/0727/cover.html
Doing my best to contribute to the real topic of this blog.
