Trying to find perspective amidst inner reflections.

A couple of days ago I reached 3 years at my current job, 3 years working for the railroad on all three shifts, moving from one to the other and back around trying to find the right fit for me and all of that.

December 05 I moved back home to finish up my thesis and to figure...

Prague was a-w-e-s-o-m-e, but you already know that so I won't start again. I've been somewhat lacking internet though, so I haven't been able to get replies out besides fresh from the clubs at four in the morning... Hope you've been well though. I know how you feel about the Future Issue, I've been beating myself up about those choices myself for the past five weeks. What finally made the scale tip was to imagine how I would feel about one thing if I ended up picking the other. When I realized that I would regret not going to Stockholm I knew I had to give up my spot in the army. I will miss that too, but I also know that it is not what I want to do.
Perhaps there are similar situations you could consider too. What would you regret not having done twenty years from now?

Or you could just toss a coin, as somebody else suggested to me.

I grew up in a small town that sounds like Glendive. I firmly believe that if you are not of the 'small town' mentality, those places will suck you dry. You already seem to know that it really isn't your bag and that you want bigger and better things for yourself, you're just stuck in place and unfortunately it sounds like that is beyond your control at the moment.

Don't worry, it does get better, especially when you are driven. And staying at a job for that long when it doesn't make you happy or fulfilled means you ARE driven to do what is best for your current interests. But you are definitely right, this is not the economy to be quitting your steady job in. Still, be proud of yourself for staying with it. It will look great on your resume when you apply to your next awesome job smile

What a difference a week makes.

Went to the North Dakota border and went back and forth for a few days a week ago, and dammit all if it wasn't one of the best times ever. Had to head over for one of my best friends sister's wedding (she is also a good friend/little sister to me) on the 20th. So I got off work...

So it's been almost a month since I wrote my last blog, didn't think it had been that long, but I guess this will remedy that.

I have gotten used to working the day shift again, it sucks that the one guy I work with 3 days a week is lazy as shit and gets away with it as well, makes it so I have...

So the layoffs hit BNSF here in Glendive yesterday, luckily enough I am high enough up the seniority list to make it through.

We made it through the first go round of cuts at our diesel shop, but couldn't make it through this second one, it sucks because the train traffic is still going steady through town here, but they have been making cuts and...

So after waching last night's How I Met Your Mother season finale i started thinking about what they had in store for us next season and how it could play out.

My ideas began getting more and more in depth as I thought out the various things that could be done, and what loose ends from previous episodes could be tied up and which questions...

Rumination like a mother fucker.

Yesterday I decided to finally dwell on a question a friend of mine asked me last fall, that being "What is keeping you there?"

That question was asked in relation to why I am in my hometown and not where I dream to be. A momentary pause was misconstrued as it being to personal, but in reality it was just...

So can anyone give me advice on how to make deadlines for yourself and then, in turn, stick to them?

I put these deadlines ahead of myself, very doable deadlines, yet I do not put the effort and work in to achieve the things that need to be achieved by the deadline's arrival. So any and all advice, hints, sources of inspiration, anything of this...

Hi, I'm Matt, and I am an unabashed Pop music addict.

I figure I might as well own up to it and firmly take pleasure in being one, what the hell I'm 30 and I am not ashamed of loving cheesy pop music, serious pop music, and the crazy stuff that you can't get out of your head, I love it all.

I listen to...

I have been slacking on writing here and updating the world on my little life in Montana.

So let's see, a month ago I turned 30, didn't really think much of it as far as it being the end of my life as I know it. It is really only a different answer to the same old question, but I was intrigued by a "welcome...
