| | ouchmy stomach hurts. i think i'm done now. no wait hold that
thought. i am done now. i have gone too far and must now officially
come to terms with the whirlwind that is my life. no more
excuses. i have officially decided to get back on track. yea for me.
i went to pick my mom up from school the last couple of days.
it's a nice arrangement we have when i'm home, so that i can use a car
during the day and am not stranded in the woods for eight hours.
when i was at her school i found myself watching my mom and a
conglomerate of other middle school teachers singing and dancing their
way through the best of the beatles in preparation for the school's
annual musical. lately there's been an insurgence of new teachers
at the school and for the first time ever i found myself watching the
teacher routine involving my peers right along side the peers of my
mother. my friends of friends are right up there along side my
mother shaking their booties to "shake it up baby". it got me
thinking about life and career choices. what would life be like
working an eight hour job for thirty years? i don't know and i
really don't want to know. i was talking to an old friend today
who has to start making decisions about what to do after
undergrad. he's having second thoughts about his original career
aspirations and has recently come across a much more fun and appealing
career move. he mentioned it almost as a joke. i told him
to go for it and i hope he does. it may not be as financially
stable or as practical a choice, but let's consider for a moment what
would happen if this friend of mine doesn't give this crazy idea a try,
or if i never try to be an actor. we would spend the rest of our
lives working mediocre jobs and always wondering what might have
been. whereas if we go for it, who knows? i could end up
with a Tony and he could end up on the cover of Forbes as the year's
best entrepreneur . you
never know do you? and maybe i will end up as a middle school
teacher with my only link to musical theatre being the annual spring
show, but at least i will be able to say i tried.
