Does having high cholesterol mean you're filled with buttery goodness?

So I'm standing at work today, outside, I am alternatively being rained and snowed on, I can see my breath frosting in the air, I am cold and miserable, when I suddenly have an epiphany. My job sucks. I appreciate paying my bills, and eating food, and sleeping under a roof. I can (and many people that I work with do) make a fine living. But this isnt all that I want from life.

Somebodys father once said " Judge your success by the degree you're enjoying peace, health, and love."

At least I'm healthy.

I went to the doctor the other day to finally get my mmr and tetanus shots (or at least official records of them as I have had them before). I finally have all the stuff I need to go back to school.

I am not a college graduate. For many years, I was fine with describing myself as a "blue collar worker". I made enough money to treat me and my friends well. But now I'm thinking thats not enough. Many of my friends are buying houses and starting families. I envy them to be honest. They invested the time it took to finish school and earn their degrees and now they are beginning the type of lives that I sometimes yearn for.

I dont want to be one of these old farts getting yelled at on job sites by young foremen. I am sure they have beautiful, lovely, fulfilling lives but that isnt the life that I want for me. Took me long enough to figure it out.

I still plan on going to Arizona next year (February or April or something, tis not too clear yet) but I also know what I will be doing when I get back.

I'm going to stop wasting time.

After all, I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I am damn sure not the dullest.

Two more years to a degree.


By the way, I am not feeling sorry for myself, its just that I entered a period of self examination and was utterly dissatisfied with what I found. I'm still smiling though (it costs nothing and its good practice).

Here's a dancing purple hippo
to prove it.

Love and Hugs and Aloha and stuffs~
