Current Updates

This post is about current updates in my life. Where to start?

I just bought a new truck; a 98' Ford Ranger XLT, Extended Cab, 4 cyclinder, 5 speed, and all that good stuff. I financed it too. Surprised? I know I was too. I am still working as a "Customer Service Representative for a Financial Institution" (the title is for my safety). I also have worked this past weekend at Minelli's again. I don't know if that is going to be a "growing trend", but I actually would like it too.

What else? I am currently single and enjoying it. Not that I am going out of my way to meet people or anything like that, I think I have just come to the point where I realize that I should concentrate more on myself for a change. I still spend time with many friends, but for the most part I focus on things I need to do for me. Just as an example, I have been working on my MCSE certifications that I will be getting in April or June. I also have been reading a lot of books and articles on quantum mechanics, psychology, and emotional intelligence. Once I pass my certifications, I will have job placement in the Internet Technology Industry, which is what I have wanted to do for a long time, and then I will pursue college while working.

College you say? Yep, "Diesel" is in college. I plan currently to double major in psychology and quantum physics. It is amazing the stuff I have learned and the stuff I still will continue to learn. It will take me longer to complete then if I attended college full time due to working full time as well. But the benefits in the long run will be more then worth it.

My "updated basic view of reality as I see it". The world is a big place that ends out of my site. Now, don't get me wrong I am not saying there is not a place called China, as an example, just because I haven't seen it, but I am saying reality is what you make of it. The world is not as complicated as most people make it, but it is only as complicated as you want it to be.

I am not sure where this "new found" outlook has come from, perhaps it is more maturity along the road or newly discovered information that I have discovered. What I do know is that I am content. Not ecstatic happy or crazy depressed, but content. To me, content is being happy with things as they are, but still being welcome to changes that are planned and not planned as well. There are far too many people I have met in my life that become "over stressed" with things in life they should not be so adamant about.

Hey man what a good blog. I am proud of yah for everything that you are doing with your life. I totally agree with your new outlook on life. Take the bull by the horns and go for it. Life is too short for regrets, and if there is a means there is a way. So I know you if you really want to pursue psych and all you can. Now donĀ“t get me wrong, reaching for the stars gets tough at times, but then if life was easy what kind of story would that make? Keep in touch and catch yah later.
