So it has been quite awhile since I have posted a blog, and quite a bit has changed since the last time I have been on here. First off I have lost about 30 pounds and feel the best I ever have. I have also decided to take a huge step in my life and send it spiraling in a new direction. I decided that my previous attendance at the University of Maine was fun but not really the greatest for what I wanted to do in Web Design for my career, so now I am living in Florida and attending Full Sail University. It has been quite a change but I am comfortably satisfied with it so far. Our schedules here run all hours of the day and range about 8 to 10 hours a day in class or labs, yes it is a very long time that you spend in class and is very demanding. This allows for students (such as myself) to gain a professional view and experience as one you would experience in this kind of industry that I would be going into after school, which is pretty damn exciting! I have been more focused on my work then I have ever been and feel that I am doing something that is worth while unlike what I was experiencing through taking meaningless classes that had nothing to do with my major at the University of Maine. I no longer have to worry about getting in a class that I would like to take to contribute to my major as well. Besides that I have been experiencing the Florida life and trying to soak in as much of that as possible in my short stay in Florida. Well Folks, its pretty late and time for me to hit my bed. Till I write again. Chow!
Sometime very recently I have come to the realization that I have been living for all of the wrong reasons. There comes a point in your life when you have to take a step back and look at what you are living for and when you really think about it, it can become very real and almost scary for a moment. When I finally came to my senses and actually did this I got something out of it that was much more then what I was looking for.
Lets take a step back for a second...
You may have been like me living your life to get everything that the economy/society/who the hell knows wanting to have money, the big house, the nice car, and all of that other material bull, but why? See, this is the part that I really had such a hard time answering myself.
Then came the scary part...
Do I want to live like this? Do I want to live my life chasing these material objects? Would I have lived a happy fulfilled life if I decided to strive for these "things"? When I asked myself this, there was no way that I could say that this would make for a happy and worthy life.
I really have come to believe that we buy all of these "things" and form our own prisons, stress, and something to convince ourselves that we are somehow bettering something that is bigger then ourselves. The fact is that we created this fake scenario for our board mind. There is so much more out there that this world has to offer and believe that I would much rather spend my life experiencing what this world has to offer. I would love to know that I have seen most of this world and have met some really interesting people over the years. This has much more to offer for your curious mind.
I want to keep writing but I have to jet. I'll keep you updated on this adventure called "Life"!
