Day 2 of the New Era.

I can't believe this blogs been up three years. Its amazing to go back and read who I used to be before my life went to shit, who I was WHILE it was shit, and who I a now that I am older, wiser, and in a totally different place.

If I could change anything? It would be that night I let Kellen get me drunk. I started smoking cigarettes within a month, weed within the semester, and soon my GPA had dropped like a stone from the heavens.

I don't blame Kellen, he's a good guy. I just want to know how I let all that crap happen so fast, just boom boom boom!

I wish I could see what sort of person I would be had I never taken up 'The Vices' of college life. What sort of white washed, naive fool would I be today? I bet I'd be in an office somewhere, deluding myself into thinking I was a bigshot because I, just like every other person around me, has a business degree.

Or maybe I WOULD have gone to Law School.


We live in a society run by businessmen and lawyers. I am so proud that I am not one. I am a working schlub with a healthy, but diminishing, amount of Debt and a Job that is about as secure as Fort Knox.


I'm still not completely happy with life, no one ever is are they? Soon I will be OUT of debt and then going right back in as I take up online courses to fill out my degree.

Yes... I fully plan to get a degree. I started college, I will have SOMETHING to show for my time there.

An old thought has come back... Its always been there, but never very prevalent in my thoughts. I really think I want to be a Teacher...

I make about 40 grand a year... Why would I want to go and pay for more education and get a job that makes roughly the same or less. (And thats before you take into account the additional financial cost of rejoining human society).

*shrug* This is a Job. Being a Trucker gets me paid and keeps me busy. I could do this for 20 years, retire, and have enough money to be happy until I die.

But.... (And I don't know how to finish this thought.... So this is where I sign off).
