Reflective

So, I am sitting and thinking about all of the things that I would like to do with my life.   I'm watching a DVR recording of Austin City Limits with John Legend and the Roots and all I can think about is how much I miss being involved with music and my desire to go back to school so I can teach it.  Prior to this I watched Monday Night Raw, which brings out the writer in me (hence my writing) and makes me want to write my coverage of the show and also makes me want to go in to journalism (so I can cover it professionally or just start writing for one of the wrestling companies and be done with it).   A few days ago I was watching Bar Rescue and remembered how I had always wanted to open a sports bar, and all of this reflection is while I currently am on vacation from my job at Multiband where I recently got a promotion and enjoy the heck out of my job and the team that I work with, and am preparing to leave current job number two at Kroger where I have worked part time since last June and am sad to be leaving a good team there and a lot of friends.

This may sound like complaints and I really don't intend it that way, I am very happy with my life, I am very happily married to my wife Leah and have a beautiful daughter that will be turning two in July name Lorelai (yes, after the Gilmore Girls before anyone has to ask) and I wouldn't have life any other way, but one can not help but wonder how life would be if things had turned out differently.  For example, where would my life be now if I had finished college instead of failing out in my first year and giving up.  I'm an intelligent guy (if I do say so myself) and I feel like I could be doing pretty well for myself had I gone strait through and got my degree, but I guess we will never know.

To those of you who know me personally you will understand that I get this way sometimes and I tend to get a bit carried away so let me get to the point.  I am a person who is never satisfied with anything less than what I want in life.  At this point in my life I have everything the way that I want it personally, I have a great family and support system and a great group of friends.  So now, I will be focusing my attention in keeping my successful personal life, and expanding that success in to my professional life.  I will not settle, I will not quit (except at Kroger because...well....I've already turned in my notice), but I will not stop until I have reached all of my attainable goals in my professional life as well.  Now I just need to decide what area to focus on.  Are you reading the blog post of the first call center supervisor, pro wrestling journalist, sports bar owner operator, music teacher crossover....maybe, but stay tuned and you will find out.

ps: I am seeing scenes from the Boston Marathon bombing today and am upset with Humanity.  I don't fathom the thought process that could lead someone to take an action like that and I don't want to.  I do want to send my thoughts and prayers to Boston as a whole.
