Still tryin' to get the last bit of cold out of my system. Didn't feel like doing jack shit this weekend either. 'Twas a shame because it was so nice outside. Luckily, my house has a yard so I was able to enjoy that some. But now I find myself in the familiar position of sitting in front of my computer trying to figure out how to motivate myself to finish this assignment.
The Sopranos was good, as always. If you don't have HBO, you really should get it because the shows that come on (Six Feet Under, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc...) are worth it. I wish the Dennis Miller show still ran. That was good too.
Me, right now:
Being - cold because my landlords like to have the house quite frigid
What am I doing about it - drinking hot tea to warm myself up, plus the caffeine should aid in the writing process - I hope
Listening to - Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance, probably Beulah after that
Wondering - how I am going to convince myself to write this asignment
Solution - find a way to incorporate Tony Soprano into it
Must find - a companion (a woman), my bed is getting too big
Must do - a resume, so I can start looking for work once I graduate
Must do first - get a plane ticket to Europe so I can take a vacation before I start to work
Must do after - make sure I don't take a job that sucks all the life out of me and makes me long for a minivan
Must do now - exit SG.com and work
But first - as I approach graduation, I realize that I may become part of the "real" world. Yet I yearn in no way for this. I'm happy the way things are. My life is not complex, I enjoy it. I don't consider myself part of the everyday scramble that most people go through - commuting, sitting in a cubicle, leaving to commute again, getting home going to sleep and doing it all over again. Repetition is what it is. Anyone who's read Dante knows that the main theme in both Hell and Purgatory was repetition. Those souls' torture was to endure what they committed in life over and over again.
And people do this everyday and probably never draw the same parallels. They always complain about how they hate their jobs, their situtation, their life. Am I to succumb to this? Or because I already think about it maybe that means I will be able to avoid it. Or is it inevitable? Or is my torment to observe everyone else and hope that I don't end up like them? How does one escape?
My tea is gone, my thoughts are dried up, and Sunday is what it always is - a day to think about what happened last week, and to wonder what might present itself to me this week. I wonder.....

No, not really. But that is the challenge. Once you get into the "real" world, you see people who have given into the routine. I can't imagine doing what i'm doing job-wise 10 year from now, and that's a good thing. My goal is to continue to change, adapt, and possibly change careers paths entirely when it's all done.
Chickenhead, chickenhead...
